In the bowl, she crushed the medicine, then took the medicine bowl and a basin of water with a towel inside and returned to the master bedroom.
Su Qingyue lifted Xiao Yishan’s pants leg, exposing the swollen right ankle with two fang marks from the snakebite. Judging by the bruises near the wound, it seemed the second brother had tried to squeeze out the poison blood when he was bitten; otherwise, he wouldn’t have lasted this long.
She opened the wardrobe and found a piece of cloth Chuan used to mend clothes. Chuan bought a lot of fabric last time he went to town, some for selling and some for household use.
Sitting back on the bed, she soaked the towel in the basin, then cleaned the snakebite wound on her second brother’s ankle. She applied the medicinal paste to the wound, and wrapped the ankle with the cloth along with the paste.
Everyone in the room watched her actions with curiosity. “Su Qingyue, what are you doing?” Qian Youfa asked in the room.
“I’m treating my second brother for a snakebite.”
“What injury can you treat? Don’t make me laugh!” Liu Zheng sneered, “You cheap woman must wish all the Xiao Family’s men were dead… ”
Su Qingyue glared at Liu Zheng sharply, “Old rotten woman, I’m warning you to scram, or don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Oh, you little slut, am I supposed to be scared of you? I dare you…” With the second and third Xiao brothers down and the fourth son paralyzed, was there any reason to be afraid of a fragile fifteen-year-old wife?
Before Liu Zheng could finish, Su Qingyue slapped her down with a crisp sound. Liu Zheng was taken aback and was about to jump up and fight her.
Su Qingyue didn’t have time to waste on an old granny. She landed a heavy kick on Liu Zheng’s abdomen, sending her flying out of the room. Liu Zheng’s belly ached, and she screamed, “Murder! Murder!”
However, her abdomen was in too much pain and lacked the strength, so she could only open her mouth wide but couldn’t speak.
All the villagers in the yard widened their eyes in disbelief. They looked at Liu Zheng, then at Su Qingyue, who had just come out of the room.
“How can the wife of the Xiao Family kick so hard? Liu Zheng was even sent flying…”
“When did the wife of the Xiao Family become so mighty? I always thought she was a pushover…”
The guys all started chattering.
Su Qingyue looked coldly at the crowd in the yard, “My second brother and third brother need to recuperate, please leave immediately!”
The villagers in the yard were boiling with anger,
“Su Qingyue probably wishes the Xiao Family’s second son would die…”
“What’s in it for her if the second son dies? The Xiao Family relies on Xiao Yishan to make money.”
“If Xiao Yishan dies and Chuan is half-dead, it would be easy for Mr. Su to run away-”
“Stop making snide remarks, this is their home, and they’ve asked us to leave. Let’s go…” Sensible people were in the majority, and the yard was essentially empty.
A few who hadn’t left just wanted to linger and watch the Xiao Family’s drama unfold.
The window of the secondary bedroom was always open, and Xiao Qinghe’s cold voice came out from the room, “Please leave the Xiao Family for now. If you want to visit my second brother and third brother, come another day.” With Xiao Qinghe speaking up, even the insensitive people left.
Liu Zheng’s abdomen hurt so much that she was shivering. She stumbled a few times but couldn’t stand up. Her yellowing eyes glared at Su Qingyue venomously, as if she wanted to tear her to pieces.
Su Qingyue was not afraid of her menacing gaze. She went over and dragged Liu Zheng by her arm like a piece of cargo, all the way to the entrance of the courtyard..
