Chapter 154: At a Complete Loss
The woman who had just asked the question spoke up, "Can’t blame her, now that there’s no one to earn work points, it’s no wonder she’s making a fuss. Could Gao Taohua have done this on purpose? She didn’t twist her ankle earlier or later, but just now,
does she not want to earn work points for her parents’ household anymore, or is she looking down on the match her mother has arranged for her? Seems like she doesn’t want to get married."
A woman close to Li Xiulan said, "Come on, stop spouting nonsense; everything turns into a story when it comes through your mouths. Taohua just twisted her ankle accidentally while delivering something. Look at what you’ve turned it into?
We’re all from the same village, and we all have kids. Watch your words, and be a bit kind. Taohua is about to get married, and if your words get out, won’t that be harming her?"
For a moment, everyone there fell silent, and the atmosphere grew somewhat awkward.
Just then, from the Sun Family’s courtyard, Kong Yuru’s cries suddenly burst forth, and it was like a performance that jumped from one family’s stage to another’s. The commune members waiting by the river for their work assignments swarmed in front of the Sun Family’s gate.
Kong Yuru rushed out, cradling her son, Sun Shengyuan, and headed towards the health clinic.
Doctor Gao had just opened the door and was talking with a few commune members when he saw Kong Yuru rush in with her child in a flurry," Doctor Gao, please check Shengyuan; what’s wrong with him?"
Doctor Gao hurried over and saw that the child’s fever was severe and the pus-filled area on his arm had worsened, with a small spot swelling up, likely filled with pus.
