Chapter 20: Violence at the Door

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Now, several hours had already passed. Qi Moli, who had been half asleep, was awoken by Qi Fang’s reprimanding voice. She discovered that her rash had miraculously disappeared, and the boils had scabbed over.

Had she recovered?

Tears of joy began to fall. She shouted desperately, “Mom, Grandma, I’m fine. I’ve recovered from my illness. Mom, come and take a look…”

Her hands and feet were tied up, and she could not move freely. She could only shout.

Her voice was extremely loud. Her family aside, even the passersby heard her loud and clear.

Qi Mianmian knew very well what happened. Without waiting for Zhao Xiulian to retrieve the keys, she took the initiative to leave the room. “I’ll go take a look.”

Although Zhao Xiulian was concerned about Qi Moli, she was also worried that Qi Moli was lying. She was overjoyed that Qi Mianmian was willing to check up on Qi Moli for her. “Okay. Mianmian, do be careful.”

She was extremely polite to Qi Mianmian.

It wasn’t a sudden repentance, nor a sudden liking for Qi Mianmian. She was just temporarily making use of Qi Mianmian.

Qi Mianmian pretended to feel Qi Moli’s pulse, then checked the scabbed-over boils. Under Qi Moli’s expectant gaze, she said something that made Qi Moli want to vomit blood. “Yes, you’ve indeed recovered. Turns out you don’t have that kind of illness. It was just an allergic reaction, or perhaps you’re just heaty.”

With that, she immediately went out to announce the good news to the family, not bothering to untie Qi Moli.

“Eldest Cousin has indeed recovered. Looks like the doctors misdiagnosed her. Grandma, Second Sister, you can all come out now. Brother, do come and help us prepare the cement. We’ll try to build the oven today and test it out tomorrow.”

Everyone was speechless.

Everyone wanted to say that Qi Mianmian was too impatient. However, when they thought about how Qi Fang had specially applied for leave to return home, they understood her feelings.

Qi Zhen and Qi Fang quickly got busy under Qi Mianmian’s instructions.

Reassured, Elderly Lady Qi and Qi Shan continued to make matchboxes.

Zhao Xiulian had also been preparing to continue making matchboxes. However, she heard Qi Moli say that she would go to the clinic to settle the bill with the doctor regarding the refund of the medicine. Thinking about the four yuan gained from the refund, Zhao Xiulian followed her out of the house.

Qi Moli ran towards the health center anxiously. However, she had only taken a few steps out of the door when someone grabbed her hair from behind and slapped her across the face.

Then, another person came up and punched her in the stomach without even a pause.

At the same time, Zhao Xiulian’s earth-shattering scream rang out from behind them.

“Qian Jun, Shi Xiaorong, you bunch of bastards! Why did you hit our Moli? You… Ah…”

Indignantly, Zhao Xiulian began to denounce them loudly. Halfway through her tirade, she was unexpectedly pushed to the ground by a woman, who began to punch and kick her while scolding, “I’ll beat you to death! It’s all the fault of that little b*tch you raised! Not only did she contract a dirty illness, but she even went around causing trouble and harming others…”

“Up until now, I, Zhao Xiaohua, have never met anyone with such a bad conscience. She actually hired people to harm her own cousin…”

Zhao Xiulian was speechless.

It was Widow Zhao?

Qian Jun and Shi Xiaorong, who had been beating Qi Moli up relentlessly, were also cursing her.

“Qi Moli, did you know long ago that you were infected with a dirty illness? Was that why you deliberately infected us, then sought us out to pass it to Qi Mianmian?”

“Why are you so evil? No matter how cruel I am, I have never thought of harming my own family. Damn it, I won’t be able to live anyway. I’ll skin you alive today…”

Passersby wanted to join in the fun, but they knew that the three of them had a dirty illness, so they kept a distance…

As a result, they only heard bits and pieces of the accusations.

However, Qi Mianmian’s family members were separated by only a wall, so they heard everything clearly and understood.

They had initially wanted to go out and help, but none of them moved a step.

The beating by Qian Jun had left Qi Moli in a daze…

Zhao Xiulian was no exception.

After a long time, Qi Moli finally got a grip of the situation. She shouted, “I don’t have a dirty illness. Look, I’ve already recovered…”

Qian Jun, Shi Xiaorong, and Widow Zhao were speechless.

This news was so favorable that they immediately stopped.
