Chapter 248: How Does It Feel Being Left In the Toilet?

Children had thin blood vessels, and the needles in this era were thick. There weren’t needles specifically made for children like in the modern era. It was difficult to insert the needle during an injection, and sometimes it would cause bleeding. They were afraid that the medication would accidentally leak from the needle during the injection process. Usually, when the kids were getting an injection, Mu Jingzhe had to watch them carefully.

However, with Shao Qihai around, there was no need this time. Upon seeing Mu Jingzhe yawn, Shao Qihai whispered, “Hurry up and sleep. I’ll carry Xiao Wu and keep an eye on things.”

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu was very sensitive and cried the moment he left Mu Jingzhe’s arms. Mu Jingzhe could only continue hugging Xiao Wu while Shao Qihai watched from the side.

After Xiao Wu’s fever subsided, Mu Jingzhe finally managed to relax. After a tiring night, in the latter half of the night, knowing that Shao Qihai was beside her, she couldn’t help but close her eyes.

She slept until dawn.

When she woke up, Mu Jingzhe found herself sleeping soundly against her seat. Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was still in her arms. However, after she had fallen asleep, her arms had loosened around him. Xiao Wu’s head and body were half-supported by Shao Qihai.

“You’re awake.” Seeing that Mu Jingzhe had woken up, Shao Qihai greeted her softly.

“Ah.” Mu Jingzhe sat up straight and hugged Xiao Wu properly. “Is the injection done? Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“Aren’t you awake now?” Seeing that Mu Jingzhe was so tired, how could Shao Qihai wake her up?

Shao Qihai had discovered that Mu Jingzhe spoke in her dreams at night. He didn’t know if it was because she was also worried about Xiao Wu in her dreams, but she had kept shouting that she wanted to kill Shao Qiyun.

Xiao Wu hadn’t slept well either and had often woken up.

At dawn, it was almost time for the doctor to come to work. He went to look for the doctor again.

The doctor prescribed some medicine, but he suggested that Mu Jingzhe look for the only old TCM[1] doctor in their hospital. The old TCM doctor was very good at treating patients who fell sick from fright or something along that line.

Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qihai then took Xiao Wu to see the old TCM doctor. The old TCM doctor looked at him and asked questions before prescribing medication. “He’ll be fine after taking it for a few days. After taking the medicine, he should be able to fall asleep at night. If that still doesn’t work, come again. For the next few days, you and your husband should try your best not to leave the child’s side and have someone always accompany him.”

When Mu Jingzhe heard the words ‘you and your husband’, she was a little embarrassed. Shao Qihai, however, had already agreed and asked about the things they should take note of.

When they came out of the town hospital, Mu Jingzhe went to look for Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng without hesitation. Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng were busy at work at the moment. When they heard that Mu Jingzhe had come in the middle of the night last night, they wondered why she hadn’t gone to look for them.

“Coming now is fine too. Dad, Mom, I’m hungry.” If she had come to look for her parents in the middle of the night, Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng would definitely have gotten busy themselves and would not have slept well that night. How could Mu Jingzhe bear to do that?

They needed to get up at four or five o’clock for their business, so they couldn’t delay their rest.

Xiao Wu was still a little groggy, but when he saw Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng, he smiled out of habit and greeted them. “Grandma, Grandpa, I’m hungry too.”

Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng didn’t know about Xiao Wu’s parentage. They touched Xiao Wu’s forehead. “Got it, got it. Grandma will make whatever you want to eat. Fortunately, you’re not hot anymore. Look at you, you’ve lost weight overnight. Your little face is sallow. We’ve got to nourish you up.”

Shao Qihai couldn’t help but smile as he watched them from the side. When he saw Li Zhaodi looking at him, he quickly called out, “Mom!”

Then, he addressed Mu Teng. “Dad.”

Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng nodded nonchalantly. “What do you want to eat?”

How could Shao Qihai dare to order? “Anything is fine.”

Li Zhaodi didn’t stand on ceremony. “Then have some steamed buns and porridge. There are fried dough sticks and eggs too. You can take some yourself.”

She casually asked Shao Qihai to eat whatever he wanted, but she couldn’t just let Mu Jingzhe and Xiao Wu eat anything. Knowing that Mu Jingzhe hadn’t rested well at night and that her appetite wasn’t good, Li Zhaodi specifically made a bowl of sour and spicy noodles for her.

As Xiao Wu had just finished throwing up, she cooked him a bowl of egg noodles. The noodles were cooked until they were very soft, which was good for digestion.

After Mu Jingzhe finished the bowl of sour and spicy noodles, she became energetic and gave Li Zhaodi a thumbs-up. “Mom, it’s delicious. Your sour and spicy noodles are the best. I want to eat an egg.”

Li Zhaodi wanted to get it, but Shao Qihai had already stood up. “I’ll do it, I’ll do it.”

He took an Herbal Tea Egg and peeled it before passing it to Mu Jingzhe. “Do you want to eat anything else?”

“Enough, enough.” Mu Jingzhe ate her Herbal Tea Egg with the sour and spicy broth. “Mom, the Herbal Tea Egg is also delicious.”

“Everything is delicious to you.” Li Zhaodi sounded disdainful, but her eyes were filled with happiness. Upon seeing that Shao Qihai even knew how to peel eggs for Mu Jingzhe, she found him a tad more pleasing to the eye. “Qihai, are you full? You can eat more if you’re still hungry.”

“I’m full.” Shao Qihai nodded. At that moment, Mu Jingzhe put down her chopsticks and quickly brought the dishes in to wash them.

On the way back, Shao Qihai coaxed Xiao Wu and told him not to let Mu Jingzhe carry him because it was hard on her. He carried Xiao Wu all the way back and didn’t allow Mu Jingzhe to do it, saying that she didn’t have to worry because his wounds were more or less healed.

When they returned home, it was already close to noon. After cooking, Mu Jingzhe boiled the Chinese medicine. The medicine smelled awful and tasted even worse. It was bitter and astringent.

Mu Jingzhe tried drinking a mouthful and immediately grimaced in pain before she swallowed it with difficulty.

Xiao Wu also had a painful time drinking it, but in the end, he still drank it with his little face scrunched up.

Although the medicine tasted awful, it was effective. That night, Xiao Wu stopped having a fever and didn’t throw up. Due to its calming effect, he also fell asleep.

However, after two days of torment, because of the medicine, Xiao Wu didn’t look energetic in the next few days. He looked much thinner.

Watching as Xiao Wu suffered, when Mu Jingzhe thought of the culprit next door, anger rushed to her head. Zhao Lan had been keeping an eye on Shao Qiyun and wouldn’t let her escape, which had made things easier for Mu Jingzhe. By dragging Shao Qiyun and drowning her once a day, the hatred in her heart diminished a little.

Every time Mu Jingzhe saw Xiao Wu drink the medicine, she had an urge to beat up Shao Qiyun. Here Shao Qiyun was, all recovered and lively again, whilst Xiao Wu was in so much pain and had to take medicine after falling sick from fright. Why wasn’t she the one having a high fever and vomiting?!

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t take this lying down!

She tormented Shao Qiyun for as many days as Xiao Wu drank the medicine. When Xiao Wu finished drinking the medicine and finally regained his energy, Mu Jingzhe stopped being so angry and didn’t continue.

However, there was still one thing she hadn’t taken revenge for. Mu Jingzhe felt that she had to take revenge for it. It was just that this revenge would be a little dirty, so she had to cover herself up properly lest she got dirty.

Mu Jingzhe was still wondering if she should carry out this revenge in her raincoat and rain boots, but Shao Dong and the others went ahead first.

They plotted against Shao Qiyun, who fell into a dung pool. When she was scooped up, she was a dreadful mess. The details were unbearable to describe. Anyway, the entire village was alarmed that day. When the villagers spoke about it, other than laughing, they would also retch.

Now, Shao Qiyun finally had a taste of being thrown in the toilet. They didn’t make her drown, though.

Whether or not the heavens had eyes, Mu Jingzhe, Shao Dong, and the others had no idea, but they wanted Shao Qiyun to suffer the consequences of her own actions. They wanted her to taste how terrifying the evil words she had casually said and the evil deeds she had casually committed were.

At first, she had wanted to give birth to Xiao Wu in the toilet. Later on, she’d kept saying that she would just throw him in the toilet and leave him to die. Now, she finally knew what it felt like.
