Chapter 17: The Crime of Gender 17
The person asking this question was Mrs. Wang, the wife of the village chief. She was originally at home tidying up the pig’s head when she heard that something had happened to Qin Shuangshuang. Mrs. Wang was startled, and her first thought was that it must have been that troublesome Old Chen who caused the problem!
Afraid that Qin Shuangshuang might suffer, Mrs. Wang hurriedly put down her work and rushed over to see what was happening.
Mrs. Wang thought that as the clan leader’s wife, if Old Chen was really causing trouble, the village chief, as the clan leader, wouldn’t be able to handle the womenfolk, but she, as the clan leader’s wife, could handle it! So Mrs. Wang rushed over and saw a tightly packed, noisy group of people.
Unable to see inside, Mrs. Wang anxiously asked what was going on. When the villagers saw it was Mrs. Wang, they moved aside, allowing her to see Qin Shuangshuang in the middle, lying in Mrs. Bai’s arms, covered in blood, eyes closed, face pale, her life or death unknown!
Mrs. Wang gasped in shock! She hurriedly pushed through the gap the people had created, reaching out to touch Qin Shuangshuang, but seeing her covered in blood, she didn’t know where to start. She raised her hand several times only to lower it again, finally saying worriedly, "What happened? Just a moment ago, Second Miss was fine! How did this happen? Quick, quick, call the doctor!"
Mrs. Bai sobbed, replying, "Sister Hao has already sent Qin Yuan to call the doctor!"
Mrs. Bai looked helplessly at Mrs. Wang, her voice trembling and choking, "Aunt Wang, my Second Miss will be okay, right? She’s been sensible and hardworking since she was little, how could heaven be so cruel as to let her die!"
"Of course, she won’t be, you said it yourself, Second Miss is so well-behaved and sensible, she’s always been healthy, she will definitely be okay!" Mrs. Wang felt a pang of empathy for Mrs. Bai’s pitiful and frightened appearance, and hurriedly comforted her.
