Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 415

Chapter 415: Tricky Situation
What followed the loud sound of slap was gasps from the onlookers. Everyone was shocked when they saw Da Gao slap his grandma and the old lady fall to the ground. She hit her head on the stone and just lay there unmoving.

After a long silence, Da Gao finally realized something was wrong with his grandma and said doubtfully, “Grandma, don’t pretend to be unconscious.”

Seeing his grandma lying motionless on the ground, he walked over and found that her head was bleeding. Looking at the blood on the surface of the stone, Da Gao’s face turned pale.

He turned to look at Su Anna and said tremblingly, “Wife, what should I do? Grandma… Her head is bleeding… Did I kill my grandma?”

Su Anna was disgusted that he called her that, and lowered her head, pretending to look scared. Not long after, a villager shouted, “Take your grandma to Doctor Xie, otherwise she will really die!”

Hearing these words, Su Anna’s eyes flashed with a ruthless look for a moment, and then returned to normal. Since the old woman wanted to force her to death, she could only blame herself for losing her life!

Closing her eyes, Su Anna fell to the ground weakly, pretending to faint. Because of the sudden situation, everyone panicked, especially Da Gao. He only had one pair of hands, but he had to carry his grandmother and wife on his back to find a doctor.

At this moment, his situation reflects the question ‘Who do you save when both your grandma and I drown in the river?’

After hesitating for a moment, he chose to leave his grandma behind, pick up his wife on his back, and run to Doctor Xie’s house. Since his grandma is old, even if a stranger hugs her, she will not be punished for behaving indecently in public. But his wife is young and beautiful. What if a man takes advantage of her?

What’s more, his grandma is so fat. If he carries her all the way to Doctor Xie’s house, he will be so exhausted that he can’t even carry his wife later. So, he’d better send his wife first, and then come back to carry his grandma.

Although he thought he made the best decision in this tricky situation, to onlookers, his behavior was tantamount to abandoning his grandmother who raised him for so many years for his young, beautiful wife.

While they felt sorry for Grandma Gao, no one was stupid enough to help carry her to the doctor.

Who doesn’t know that the Gao family is so stingy and loves to take advantage of others? What if they helped her and she blamed them? Not only do their good deeds go in vain, but they may also lose money or even their reputation!

In this way, Grandma Gao lay there for more than half an hour, with no one checking her condition. When Da Gao came back and carried her to Doctor Xie’s house, her breathing was as light as butterfly wings. He thought that as long as he took her to see a doctor, his grandma would be fine.

Unexpectedly, after Doctor Xie checked her pulse, he shook his head and said, “If you still want to save her life, take her to the county hospital as soon as possible. I had no way to save her life.”

Worried that he would be arrested for killing his grandmother, Da Gao’s knees weakened and he sat on the ground with a pale face. Seeing him like this, Doctor Xie didn’t feel sorry for him at all. Everything happens because of themselves, so they can’t blame anyone for their misfortunes.

After packing up the tools, Doctor Xie said calmly, “Okay, don’t block my way. Give me one yuan, and take your grandma and wife to the hospital.”

After listening to his words, Da Gao quickly searched Grandma Gao’s sleeves and took out her purse. He paid the money and said, “Doctor Xie, can you take care of my wife while I take my grandma to the hospital?”

Doctor Xie glanced sideways at him but said nothing. Taking this as a silent agreement, Da Gao picked up his grandma and hurriedly went to Han Yuheng’s house to borrow the tractor.

After they left, Doctor Xie kicked the bamboo bed and said, “Go back to your home. Don’t pretend to be dead in my home.”

The next moment, Su Anna opened her eyes and glared at Doctor Xie. She knew she couldn’t fool the doctor, but she didn’t expect him to help her. Since he helped her, she wouldn’t argue with him. After tidying herself up, she left Doctor Xie’s home with weak steps.

Seeing her like this, Doctor Xie’s eyes flashed with disgust. He had no intention of helping her. As long as he was being paid, he would stay out of their business. So, when he found out that she was actually pretending to be unconscious, he didn’t expose her lie or say anything to Da Gao. All he did was let Da Gao think whatever he wanted to believe and let them act the play.

As for Grandma Gao, even if the doctor managed to save her life, she might have to stay in bed for the rest of her life. Doctor Xie drank tea and fell into deep thought.

He wanted to know what her fate would be? Will she be abandoned by her family like him? Or maybe, the grandson who was branded as a good-for-nothing would be filial to her and take care of her for the rest of her life?

Regardless of the outcome, it will be interesting. Life in this village is not bad at all, even livelier than in the capital.

At the same time, Su Anna was walking back to Gao’s house. With her swollen cheeks and unkempt appearance, she won the sympathy of the villagers. Some villagers even expressed support for her and agreed to report Grandma Gao to the authorities. Having achieved her goal, Su Anna returned while feeling proud of herself.
