Although Mu Shi’s injuries were not as serious as Qi Haoran’s, they were not light either. After the military doctor prescribed medicine for him, Mu Yangling brought the medicine back to Shu Wanniang and asked her to take care of him.
The children were also made to stay at home. After Qi Haoran left, Great-aunt finally heaved a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and carried the hoe into the field.
On the way, the people they met greeted them one after another. “Auntie, how’s Sister-in-law Mu? I heard that Benevolence Hall’s physician stayed at your home for the night?”
“Section Commander Mu is back, right? Sister-in-law Mu usually looks a little weak, but she’s not that sick. Why did she suddenly fall seriously ill?”
Madam Ma-Liu said with a dark expression, “Everyone has their own fortunes. Who can say for sure? However, my nephew’s wife’s illness is already much better. Physician Pang’s miraculous medical skills brought her back to life that night. Now, my nephew has taken a long leave to take care of her at home.”
Someone said enviously, “Sister-in-law Mu is so lucky. Not only does she not have to do farm work usually, but Section Commander Mu also dotes on her so much. The daughter she gave birth to is also capable and can handle all the farmwork alone.”
These words were extraordinarily sour. When Great-aunt heard this, she snorted coldly in her heart and pulled Mu Yangling and Xiuhong away. She retorted, “It’s indeed difficult to find someone like my nephew. Also not anyone can give birth to someone like his daughter. If you regret it, you can always find another one while you’re still young.”
The expression of the person who spoke sourly froze.
Old Hu walked slowly behind her. He was already dissatisfied when he heard the form of address ‘Section Commander Mu’. Now that he saw that Madam Ma-Liu and Mu Yangling did not refute, he was even more dissatisfied. He strode forward and caught up. “Ah Ling, you have to keep your word that night. Your father isn’t a section commander anymore. How could you not correct her?”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people stopped and looked over. The flames of gossip burned in their chests.
Mu Yangling was stunned, for she didn’t expect Old Hu to stop her on the street and confront her about this. She couldn’t help but frown.
However, Madam Ma-Liu was furious. She pushed Old Hu away and scolded, “Talk about kicking someone when they’re down. Is your wine made of immortal water? Huh? Ah Ling spent 17 taels of silver to buy your three jars of wine, but that’s not enough for you. You actually forced her father to give the position of section commander to your second son. Don’t you know that it’s a life-saving thing? How can you be so heartless? To think that back then I even told Ah Ling to let your family have the plowing oxen first knowing your family was in difficult times. You’re really ungrateful!”
