Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Mother Yang’s Outburst ( 1 )
Professor Zhang stood by the bedside, took out his medical flashlight, and used it to check Jiao Siyu’s eyes. After a while, he turned off the flashlight, looked at the young doctor, and said, “Do the blood test and observe the patient’s condition closely.”

After that, he wrote down something in his notebook and handed the paper to the young doctor while saying, “Give this medicine to the patient once every 12 hours for 48 hours. If there’s any change in her condition, inform me immediately.”

The young doctor took the paper and said, “Yes, professor.”

Having given the instructions to his disciple, Professor Zhang turned to Jiao Siyu and said, “Comrade, you should rest for now. I will come again tomorrow.”

Jiao Siyu nodded and whispered weakly, “Thank you, doctor.”

Professor Zhang acknowledged her gratitude and left the room with the young doctors and nurse. Only one nurse remained to take her blood and keep watch over her. Due to her physical weakness, Jiao Siyu felt drowsy. But even though she was in excruciating pain while awake, she resisted going to sleep. She was afraid that if she closed her eyes, she might never wake up again.

She stared out of the window and saw the moon in the sky. It seemed she had been sleeping for a long time. The moon had changed.

The nurse observed her lost in thought and let out a sigh. It was a familiar sight for her to witness patients passed away due to severe illnesses. However, Jiao Siyu’s situation struck her as particularly pitiful.

At the same time in Xie village, the news that Yang Lichao was seriously injured has spread throughout the production team. When Mother Yang came back from the fields, she heard the villagers talking about it.

“Are you telling the truth?” one villager asked in horror.

“Of course! Is this something you can joke about? You didn’t see how serious his injuries were. Not to mention his face was swollen and his nose was broken. The injury in his lower body was so severe!” A young man said as he opened his eyes wide.

Thinking of the blood stains on Yang Lichao’s pants, he couldn’t help but shudder and instinctively covered his lower body with his hands. When the men saw his actions, they immediately understood. Thinking of Yang Lichao’s condition, they felt chills on their backs and pain in their lower bodies.

“How much hatred must there be for someone to cripple him in that place? That would be equivalent to severing the bloodline of the Yang family!”

After hearing their words, Mother Yang felt an ominous premonition in her heart. But in Xie village, there are many registered households with the surname Yang. Therefore, they may be talking about people from her husband’s family or even unrelated people.

She was a little curious, so she walked up to them and asked with a smile, “This nephew, who are you talking about?”

When the villagers saw Mother Yang, they looked at each other with embarrassed expressions. Should they tell her that they are talking about her only son?

Mother Yang started to panic when she saw them looking at each other but not daring to look at her or answer her questions. She grabbed the villager’s hand and said, “Nephew, tell me, you are not talking about my son, right?”

Being held tightly by Mother Yang, the villagers were startled and hesitated, “This…”

Seeing his hesitation, Mother Yang’s ominous premonition became even stronger, and she asked tremblingly, “Could it be… the one you are talking about is my son?”

Seeing her pale face, the villager could only nod and say, “Aunt Yang, don’t get too agitated. Your son has been sent to the county hospital. He should be fine.”

As soon as Mother Yang heard what he said, her mind went blank, her legs felt weak, and her whole body felt numb. She fell to the ground in a daze, repeating the villager’s words in her head.

The villagers were frightened when they saw her suddenly collapse. The men were afraid to touch her. So they called the women in the village to come and check on her. Thinking that something bad had happened, the villagers came over and saw Mother Yang sitting on the ground in a daze with a pale face.

“Sister-in-law, are you okay? Can you stand up? Don’t sit on the ground like this.” A middle-aged woman came over and said after confirming that Mother Yang was okay.

Hearing her voice, Mother Yang came back to her senses. She grabbed the middle-aged woman’s hand tightly and asked in panic, “My son… where is my son?”

Mother Yang’s nails pierced her skin, and the middle-aged woman frowned in pain. Although she was in pain, she did not push Mother Yang’s hand away and said, “Sister-in-law, your son is in the county hospital.”

This time, Mother Yang could no longer pretend that she heard wrongly. Since everyone knew that her son was admitted to the hospital, why didn’t anyone notify her? Her poor son is alone in the hospital and she knows nothing about it!

Without saying a word, she got up from the ground and started running frantically home. Once home, she rushed to the bedroom and took the money purse hidden behind a cupboard. After taking the money, she took away the household registration book and coupons. She packed everything up with a piece of cloth, put it inside her clothes, and left the house in a hurry.

The villagers shook their heads when they saw her running towards the county town. No matter how evil Mother Yang is, they still sympathize with her at this moment. As parents, they know how they feel when their children are hurt. Every parent feels heartache when their child is hurt.

Mother Yang is already in her early fifties. She almost fainted several times while running all the way to the county seat. When she arrived at the hospital, her face was pale and her clothes were soaked with sweat.
