Chapter 147 - 147 He Can’t Die in Our House



Madam Zhou nearly fainted when she saw her husband lying unconscious on the floor. She didn’t even know how she ran up to her husband, but her body was covered in Mr. Hu’s blood. Her hands were cold as the color was drained from her face.

She knelt down as her hands started to shake. “B-Bingyu?”

Hu Bingyu did not show any reaction. Blood continued to spill from the wound on his head.

!!

“Ugh! How unlucky. Carry him out. Don’t let him die inside our house!” Old Madam Ma got anxious too. “Hey, hurry up!”

“Don’t you guys dare to touch him!” Madam Zhou roared. “You guys killed him. You guys will pay for this!”

“Bullshit! He’s the one who fell on his own and hit his head against the well. Do you think you can frame us just because your family is rich? Don’t even think about it!” Old Madam Ma shouted back. “What are you guys doing? Take him out. We can’t have him die here!”

Zhao Guiqing mustered the guts and approached Hu Bingyu.

The wife stood in front of her husband with her arms out as her eyes turned red from anger. “Don’t you dare touch him!”

However, Madam Zhou was still a woman in the end. There was no way she was strong enough to stop Zhao Guiqing who had been farming his whole life.

Madam Zhu also noticed how bad the situation had become and she signaled her sister-in-law. Both of them grabbed Madam Zhou on each side and dragged her out of the house.

“Let go of me. You are all murderers. You’ll pay for this!” Madam Zhou had completely lost her cool composure.

The wife thought that her husband had passed away from the fall and was trying her best to fight them.

Madam Zhu slapped her old friend in the face. “Wake the hell up. Look at yourself. How can you frame my husband when your husband is the one who fell on his own?”

“Argh!” That only made Madam Zhou even crazier. She managed to pull her arms back and lunged forward to grab her husband.

However, Old Madam Ma reacted quickly despite her old age. She ran to the door and opened it before stopping Madam Zhou from moving forward. She then had her sons drag Hu Bingyu out and threw the unconscious man outside the entrance.

They then dragged Madam Zhou out, and once the sons were all back inside, she immediately shut the door close.

No matter how loud Madam Zhou was yelling outside, they pretended that they didn’t hear it.

“What the hell was that?” Old Madam Ma sounded discontented. “How can you be so careless? Don’t you know scholars have weaker bodies? What should we do if they report this?”

“How would I even know that? We have no choice but to push everything to them. They have no evidence to prove that I was the one who pushed him anyway. But if he really dies, can we still get the money?”

Even after the deadly accident, Zhao Guiqing still thought that him accidentally killing someone was a small matter. The thing he was more worried about was the money that he might not get.

“Well, we were just unlucky, I guess.” Old Madam Ma thought about it. “At least we still have Meijuan, right? As long as Meijuan marries the young master of the He clan, then the Hu clan is nothing in comparison. There’s nothing for us to be worried about.”

Madam Zhu frowned a little. “Mom, that won’t do. What if the Hu clan really reports this? Won’t that affect our plan for Meijuan to marry the young master of the He clan?”

“There’s nothing we can do about that. Didn’t that young master say that even if they couldn’t get married this year, they could always do it next year? He doesn’t mind waiting. As long as Meijuan is all that he can think about, there’s no way he will call this off. Don’t you see how much he adores her? Look at all the gifts he gave us.”

Despite the old lady’s assurance, Madam Zhu still felt worried.

Yet, there was nothing she could do about it as she had no power to make decisions in the family. No matter what she said, no one would take her seriously.

On the other hand, just outside the entrance of the Zhao clan’s house, Madam Zhou looked at her unconscious husband. She was in complete despair.

Because they didn’t want to pressure Zhao Guitang and the family too much, she and her husband decided to meet the family alone. That was why they left their coachman by the entrance of the village.

Fortunately, Madam Kong was nearby and heard the commotion. She came to check what was going on.

She did not expect to see a man covered in blood lying in the arms of a woman. She was so shocked that her face turned completely pale.

“What happened? Did your husband fall?”

“Please, help us! Can you help take my husband to the village doctor? Please, I beg you. I can pay as much money as you want!” Madam Zhou finally regained some senses after she heard Madam Kong’s questions. She quickly begged the passerby for help.

Madam Kong nodded and promptly ran to look for Zhao Chuchu. The latter happened to come in their direction as well.

Zhao Chuchu had heard the painful yell of Madam Zhou in Zhao Guitang’s home and knew that things had gone south.

“Chuchu! Just in time. Hurry. Someone’s dying!” Madam Kong noticed Zhao Chuchu and quickly pulled the young lady toward Zhao You’s house.

Once they got there, Zhao Chuchu saw the man who was completely unconscious outside the house.

Her expression darkened as she could not believe that the family could do such a thing. It was as if the law was nothing to them, to the point where they would attempt murder in bright daylight.

Zhao Chuchu turned to Zhao Meilan and shouted, “Meilan! Hurry up and go to my place. Get Dalang to bring my medkit over! Hurry!”

“O-okay!”

Zhao Meilan, who followed Zhao Chuchu, quickly turned and ran toward Xie Heng’s house.

Zhao Chuchu then quickly approached Madam Zhou.

“Where’s the doctor?” Madam Zhou asked Madam Kong desperately.

“Don’t worry. Chuchu here is our village doctor,” Madam Kong quickly answered. “She’s the one who got rid of the Yuanjiang County’s plague.

The moment Madam Zhou heard it, she quickly grabbed Zhao Chuchu’s hand. She was so worried that she didn’t even see the hairpin on the young lady’s hair which showed that she was married. “Ms. Chuchu, please, I beg you, please save my husband.”

“Don’t worry, ma’am. We have to move him first. Your husband is still alive, but if you keep grabbing onto me like this, I won’t be able to do anything to save him.” Zhao Chuchu glanced at Madam Zhou.

The woman immediately let go of the young lady.

At that time, other villagers had already gathered around after hearing the commotion as well.

Zhao Chuchu did a quick check on Hu Bingyu’s wound. Although the wound looked scary, it wasn’t deadly.

“Excuse me, can you help us carry him into Meilan’s house?” Zhao Chuchu turned to ask the villagers.

“Huh? Of course.”

The villagers swiftly helped carry Hu Bingyu to Zhao Guitang’s house.

When Zhao Guitang and his wife saw a group of people carrying a bloody Hu Bingyu back, their expressions changed immediately. “W-what happened to him?”

“Let’s talk about this later. Which room can I use?”

“Over here.” Madam He quickly led Zhao Chuchu to her room since she couldn’t let another man sleep on her daughter’s bed.

...

Madam Zhou was about to follow Zhao Chuchu into the room as well.

Zhao Chuchu quickly stopped her. “It’s better if you stay outside. You’ll only distract me by staying here.”

Madam Zhou was extremely worried, but she also knew that the young lady was right. Distracting her would only make things worse for her husband.

Not long after that, Xie Heng arrived with the medkit.

Zhao Meilan chased after him and was already out of breath.

“He is Chuchu’s husband,” Madam He introduced Xie Heng to Madam Zhou. “Don’t worry. Chuchu is an excellent doctor. Your husband will be fine.”

Madam Zhou finally lost her cool and cried in Madam He’s arms. “I’m so scared…”

Madam He gently patted the crying woman. “It’ll be fine. We’ll have to believe in Chuchu.”

Madam Zhou didn’t let her emotion take the better of her for too long. She was able to quickly force herself to calm down. “Can someone help me get my coachman who is waiting at the village entrance? I have something that I need him to do.”

She wasn’t going to let the family who did that go.

“Alright. Just wait here. I’ll have someone go get him.”

...

Madam He had no idea what really went down at Zhao You’s house.

However, she could understand the worry and anxiety that Madam Zhou was feeling. She had experienced the same thing when Zhao Guitang’s legs were broken by others.
