61 Unaccountable Bad Debts
When that man saw that Mo Ruyue was silent, he thought that he had caught her weak spot and suddenly began to be unforgiving.
“Speak! What medicine did you give to my mother? When we were separated, she could still walk with my help. Why is she lying there now, not moving or talking? I can’t even look at her!”
The more aggressive he was, the more he tried to hide his guilty conscience. Especially when Mo Ruyue’s sharp eyes were staring at him, he felt like he was being stripped naked and standing in front of her.
“Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning by saying these words?”
!!
Da Bao, who was still standing at the door of Sixth Uncle’s house, suddenly spoke.
Although he was only eleven years old, because of Mo Ruyue’s generous feeding of all kinds of delicious food during this period of time, including chicken, duck, fish, and exotic delicacies, and even a lot of Medicinal Food, Da Bao’s height had directly soared a lot in a very short time.
People would even believe that he was now a fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager.
In addition, Mo Ruyue had consciously taught a few babies martial arts to strengthen their bodies. Although it had not been long, in addition to Da Bao’s frequent hunting in the mountains and doing farm work for the various families in the village, the muscles on Da Bao’s small body were also very hard, all of which were solid tendons.
He looked at the man standing by the carriage with a cold face, not hiding the disdain in his eyes at all. He didn’t even show any respect to an elder when he spoke.
“Where did you come from, you little bastard? Children shouldn’t meddle in adults’ affairs!”
The man was angered by Da Bao’s words. It was fine if a woman was giving him a hard time, but now even a yellow-haired child dared to challenge him. Was he crazy?
“I’m a bastard? I don’t know who carried your mother into the mountains, but then came out alone, saying that they were separated from their mother. Why didn’t you look for her?”
“If we didn’t run into her, I would have lost my life even if I had nine more. In the end, some people, in order not to be criticized behind the back, just lie with their eyes wide open. Hmph. That’s why I didn’t wrong you when I said you wouldn’t be struck by lightning.”
Da Bao had a bad temper to begin with. In the past, it was to fight against Mo Ruyue’s abuse, to protect himself, as well as to protect his younger brothers and sisters. Now, it was to see injustice.
Although Mo Ruyue didn’t like to meddle in other people’s business, it didn’t mean that she didn’t have a scale in her heart. She had always been open and honest in doing things. This had unconsciously influenced the babies, and Da Bao had learned more.
Therefore, after seeing the man abandon the dying old woman in the mountains, Da Bao could not hold back his iron fists. Now, seeing that he was not grateful and even wanted to make a false accusation, he could not help but want to beat him up.
Now, he was only mocking him with a few words. If that man dared to speak ill of him again, he swore that he would let that man know why flowers were so red!
“You! What nonsense are you spouting! I’m telling you, you can’t say things like that. Don’t you slander me!”
When the man saw that Da Bao had started to expose him, he immediately became anxious and wanted to pounce over and stuff his mouth.
“I don’t care what you’re thinking or planning. I’ve saved her and brought her back to you. If you don’t take her back, I’ll go to the city to see the officials off.”
Mo Ruyue was too lazy to argue with him here. The simplest way was to send the old woman to the government and let the County Magistrate settle this unaccountable bad debt.
“Wait! I didn’t say I wouldn’t take her back!”
That man didn’t dare to let Mo Ruyue send his own mother to the government office. He had seen it for real just now. The old woman’s breathing had indeed stabilized a lot, and her face was no longer gray and covered with a deathly aura. It seemed that this woman had really saved her.
But how was that possible?
Originally, he had only heard that there was a Divine Doctor in the Qin Family Village who had brilliant medical skills and could bring the dead back to life. Thus, he had wanted to bring his mother here to try his luck. He didn’t expect that the Divine Doctor would directly announce that she couldn’t be saved and would be taken home to prepare for her funeral.
He didn’t want the old woman to die at home, so he carried her up the mountain. He didn’t expect that he would be seen by others.
Although he had heard people say that some places had the custom of carrying the elderly into the mountains and abandoning them, in the eyes of most people, this kind of behavior was worse than a beast. If people knew about it, he would never be able to lift his head in this life and would be poked in the back until he died!
However, it was too late for him to regret now. He did not know what else he could do to make up for it. It would be best if he could shut the mother and son up and pretend that this had never happened.
The man turned his head to look at Sixth Uncle, who was standing at the door, dumbfounded, and said, “Uncle, now that my mother has been found, my aunt doesn’t have to worry anymore. This is a good thing. But what did the Divine Doctor say at that time? He said that I should go back and prepare for my mother’s funeral. But now, she has indeed been saved. Tell me, what is going on?”
He said this on purpose to drag the old man into the water. It seemed that his uncle and the mother and son were blood-related, so no matter how close they were, they still had a say.
Besides, he had also agreed to this matter. Otherwise, how could he be so cruel as to throw his own mother into the mountains? So no matter what, he had to help him.
When the sixth cousin heard his nephew’s words, he was also complaining in his heart. Who would have thought that this matter would be so coincidental?
Originally, he wanted to throw the body into the mountain without anyone knowing. If someone asked later, he would say that the person was gone on the way to seek medical treatment. He didn’t want the body to suffer any more bumps, so he buried it on the spot.
The people on his wife’s side all knew that the old woman was seriously ill, so they wouldn’t have any doubts about this story. When the time came for his nephew to lose a heavy burden, he could also get some benefits and have his own private money.
Who would’ve thought that Mo Ruyue and her son would coincidentally bump into that scene? Now that they had been caught, she couldn’t blame them for saying those nasty words when they sent her to her door.
He wanted to refuse his nephew’s request for help at this time, but he had already agreed to this matter, and there was no way to remove himself from the situation.
So he could only bite the bullet and respond to his nephew’s words, “We can’t be sure about that, but the Divine Doctor’s medical skills are well-known in the surrounding hundred miles. This is not fake at all.”
He pretended to ponder for a while and suggested, “Why don’t we do it this way, you can send the old lady to the Divine Doctor for a look. If she is really cured by Mo Ruyue, then naturally everyone will be happy. We will thank her however we want, and we will also have to come in a grand manner. But if she’s not cured at all, then we have to make things clear. Otherwise, if the old lady suddenly leaves, where can we go to reason?”
Mo Ruyue laughed coldly when she heard this. So she had come in a circle and was still waiting for her here.
“Alright, let’s go and take a look together. Otherwise, if something happens to her again, I won’t be able to explain it even if I’m covered in mouths.”
