Old Mrs. Chen quickly went to check on Chen Dashan.

After donating so much blood, Chen Dashan’s face looked a little pale.

“Dashan, how are you feeling? Do you feel sick anywhere? Should I call Chuchu to come over?” Old Mrs. Chen felt a little worried.

Chen Dashan said, “Mom, I’m fine, don’t worry. Chuchu said that I would be fine after a few days of rest and replenishing some nutrients. It’s not anything serious.”

“That’s good, that’s good. Do you still want to eat?”

“Yes. ”

They just started eating just now when the incident happened. Chen Dashan wasn’t full at all.

“I’ll bring some food over for you.”

“Okay, thanks, mom.”

“Silly boy, no need to be so polite with your mother.”

Old Mrs. Chen could tell that Chen Dashan was pretty much fine, so she felt much more at ease.

Xie Heng came into the room with some food. When he looked toward Zhao Chuchu, his eyes were filled with tender loving care. But when he passed the food to Madam Ma, there was no expression on his face.

Madam Ma felt a little scared when he saw Xie Heng’s expression. She instinctively rejected him. “I’m fine. I’m not hungry.”

“If you don’t eat and end up fainting, Chuchu is the one who will be working overtime,” Xie Heng said impassively. “If you don’t want to trouble other people, you should take care of yourself.”

“Okay, okay.” Madam Ma didn’t dare to refuse the food anymore. She quickly took the food from Xie Heng and started gobbling it down. She looked like she feared Xie Heng reprimanding her if she ate too slowly.

Zhao Chuc.hu didn’t say anything.

“Are you tired?” Xie Heng asked as he massaged Chuchu’s shoulders for her, “It must have been exhausting.”

“It’s okay. I’m not that tired.” Zhao Chuchu raised her head to look at Xie Heng. Her brows were curved, and her cheeks puffed up slightly. She looked unbearably cute.

Xie Heng wanted to kiss her face, but because Madam Ma was there, he had to control his impulse.

How was this little girl so good at activating his soft spots?

She was so adorable that Xie Heng wanted to hide her and not let anyone else see her.

Madam Ma heard the conversation between Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchu. She couldn’t help but glance at them from the corner of her eyes. When she saw their interaction, Madam Ma couldn’t help but think about how Zhao Baogen spoke to her and treated her. The meat and rice that she would have craved back then suddenly became tasteful. She even felt that it was a little difficult to swallow the food.

Both Zhao Chuchu and she were women. Why did she have to meet such a useless man?

The Zhao clan forced Zhao Chuchu to marry Xie Heng, yet she received all of

Xie Heng’s love and care.

Madam Ma thought about her own daughter, Zhao Zhizhi.

For a moment, Madam Ma couldn’t fathom why her life had to be so insufferable.

Her man wouldn’t stand up for her, her daughter died at a young age, and now her son was on the brink of death.

Tears fell out from her eyes and into her bowl.

She felt miserable. She wasn’t jealous of Zhao Chuchu. She simply found her own life laughably pathetic compared to Zhao Chuchu’s life.

Zhao Chuchu heard her sobbing. She looked toward Madam Ma and asked, “Why are you crying?

Madam Ma quickly wiped away her tears upon hearing Zhao Chuchu. She answered, “I’m fine. I was just thinking about Changrong’s injuries and felt a bit sad.”

Xie Heng glanced at her but didn’t expose her honest thoughts.

If that was really the case, she should be happy because Zhao Changrong had been saved. She shouldn’t be crying so sadly right now.

“As long as you people don’t try to kill Zhao Changrong, he wouldn’t die. There’s nothing to cry about. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you just now you still need to pay for the consultation and treatment. I saved your son and used a lot of medicine that took a lot of time to make. You can’t let me lose money from this, right?”

“How, how much?”

“Not that much. I’ll charge you 30 taels of silver. Also, Uncle Dashan doesn’t want your money, but you should bring him some food and supplements to replenish his body, right?”

“Okay, but I don’t have so much money now. Can I give it to you later?”

“Are you trying to run away from the payment?”

“I didn’t mean that!”

“Zhao Changrong is a son of the Zhao clan. You don’t have the money, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have it either, right? Are you still trying to help them save money right now? Aren’t you afraid that you will be left with absolutely nothing when they chase you out of the clan?”

Madam Ma jolted. She understood what she should do now.

These people wanted to get rid of her. They definitely wouldn’t let her son stay together with her when she got divorced.

Why should she be working to earn money? Besides, Zhao Baotian was the one who was responsible for her son’s injury. They have every reason to be paying for the treatment.

“I’ll go back and get the money from them right now!”

Madam Ma immediately stood up.

“Please help me take care of my son.”

After saying that, Madam Ma turned around and started walking out of the room.

The people in the courtyard saw Madam Ma walking out with a murderous expression on her face. They all stopped talking and looked toward her.

Madam Ma picked up the butcher’s knife from the ground, then walked out of the Chen clan’s courtyard with an incredibly intimidating aura.

The others looked at each other.

Madam Kong slapped her lap and said, “Oh my, hubby, bring some people and go check out what’s happening. I think Madam Ma might actually be planning to chop up Old Man Zhao and the others. You saw what they did just now. She’s consumed by anger right now. She could do anything!’

“Yeah, Village chief, go see what’s happening.”

“I hope no one died. That wouldn’t be good for our village.”

“Let’s go. We should follow them.”

After being reminded by Madam Kong, the villagers couldn’t just stand around and talk anymore. They all walked out of the courtyard.

Zhao Chuchu heard them as well.

But both Xie Heng and she simply sat there without moving at all.

“You saved Zhao Changrong today. I’m afraid people are going to imitate the blood transfusion procedure?’

“They can do what they want if they’re not afraid of dying. I’ve told them outright how this whole thing works. If they really want to seek death, that’s their business. All new medical procedures are doubted, and it takes time for people to accept them. I don’t care what other people think. They won’t be able to find trouble with you anyway.”

“That’s true.”

“The villagers in Langshui Village are mostly farmers. Not much can be learned from their recount of what happened. The most people can learn is what I did today.”

“Why did you persuade Madam Ma to ask for money from the Zhao clan?”

“I deserve it, and they should be paying me for the treatment.”

Xie Heng couldn’t help but laugh. He asked, “Other than that, you can increase the conflict in the Zhao clan.”

“I told you that Madam Yang isn’t going to stay well-behaved. She simply shunned me because she knew she couldn’t win against me. But when she’s facing Madam Ma, isn’t she exactly the same as she was before?

“An ignorant woman, this is all she could think of. But I’m afraid Zhao

Changrong’s life isn’t going to be easy in the future. Have you thought about
