Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

The village chief arrived, and the clan chief arrived as well. Tang Le lived up to expectations. Despite being only five or six years old, he remembered to bring two stools for the village chief and clan chief before lying down next to Xi Ge. He stopped crying and felt his mother's silent care. His mother was different today, so he unconsciously trusted her. His little back straightened up considerably.

Village chief Tang Dazhuang is in his fifties, of medium build, with a straight back and bright eyes. He is usually decisive and impartial in his work, which earns him the support of the villagers.

The clan chief, Tang Biao, was in his early seventies, tall and thin, with gray hair, but he was still very vigorous. He was highly respected in the Tang family, fair in his dealings, and kind in his character. The clan members trusted him greatly in handling matters.

With the village chief and clan head in charge, most issues in the village can be resolved peacefully, unlike other villages where there is constant disunity and petty theft.

"With such a commotion, Tang Laoqi hasn't even returned?" The village chief and clan head had overheard the commotion at the door and were furious, their beards bristling and eyes wide with rage. This Tang Laoqi, whenever something happens, he either keeps quiet or hides away, letting Jiang Shi turn their once peaceful home into a mess. His family is the most troublesome in the whole village. It's one thing for him to torment the second wife, but this wealthy family actually dared to sell their grandson and daughter-in-law! Who gave them the guts? Do they think the Tang family has no one else?

"Village chief, clan chief, Seventh Brother went to the fields... This family is a bunch of filthy bastards..." Even a tigress has her moments of fear, especially when she sees the most authoritative figure in the village. She's been humiliated countless times for throwing tantrums and acting like a spoiled brat over trivial matters. But now, at this crucial moment, she still wants to seize the initiative and save face for herself.

"There are no men in the house? Who gives you the right to speak?" The clan leader's glare was still quite effective. This wicked woman was facing death but still didn't know how to repent. If she wasn't taught a lesson this time, the reputation of the Tang family would be ruined.

Zhang hurriedly ran out to find her father-in-law, Tang Laoqi. With so many people and such a commotion at home, she couldn't handle it herself without finding a way to escape. Only her parents-in-law could solve this mess.

"Here he is! Here he is! Uncle Qi is smoking under the eaves!" The young people in the crowd cheered.

"The rice harvest is over by now, who are you trying to fool by going to the fields?"

"Is he taking a dump? Hahaha."

"Maybe we'll wait for silver to fall from the sky."

"With something this big happening, do you think you can just hide from it? Tang Laoqi, are you even a man? You've got that thing growing out of your crotch for nothing."

The villagers laughed at him. A few minutes later, Tang Laoqi shuffled in hesitantly. His already short stature looked even shorter as he shrank back. He was expressionless and didn't greet anyone as soon as he entered. He squatted under the eaves, puffing on his pipe as if it were none of his business.

"Seventh Brother, the Jiang family has caused such a huge mess. What do you think of this as the head of the family? How do you plan to resolve it?" The village chief was always upright and honest, and he didn't mince words. He believed that the head of the family should have the attitude of the head of the family.

"...We're all family...Let's treat the sick first, and the injured first." Tang Laoqi was used to being dominated by Jiang Shi, but he wasn't stupid. His grandson was about to die, so he still had to show some basic respect. Jiang Shi originally wanted to argue a bit, saying that asking her to pay money was like taking her life and she wouldn't agree to it, but she kept quiet out of consideration for the village and the clan chief, acting like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of being burned.

"The doctor is here, make way, the doctor is here." The bustling crowd parted to make way, knowing that a life was at stake and could not be delayed. The doctor, who was over sixty years old, squeezed in, panting and carrying his medicine box.

When the doctor arrived, Ru Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xi Ge's bleeding had stopped, he had lost so much blood that it was hard to say whether he could be saved or what kind of aftereffects he might have. The doctor's diagnosis was the most authoritative.

"Did you bandage the wound?" The doctor, surnamed Tao, was invited from town by Tang Zijie, the village chief's son. He was the best doctor at Baicaotang in town. It was not easy to stop the bleeding of such a large wound with wood ash. Doctor Tao was a little surprised, but he could not figure out what was going on.

The hair on the wound was cut off, the blood around the wound was washed away with strong liquor, the wound medicine was reapplied, and then it was re-bandaged with clean strips of cloth.

"The head was injured, but fortunately the bleeding was stopped in time, otherwise there would have been no chance of survival."

"You've lost too much blood, it will take at least a few months to recover. I'll prescribe some blood-tonifying and anti-inflammatory medicine for you first. I'll have someone come with me to collect the medicine, decoct it, and administer it to you immediately."

"If you don't have a fever tonight, that's fine. But if you do, send someone to find me immediately. Change the medicine on your head every two days."

"Doctor, will his brain be..."

"If he doesn't wake up in four or five days, it will be troublesome... We need to feed him porridge every day." I'm afraid my family won't be able to handle it if I explain it too clearly.

"His mind wasn't clear to begin with, and this time there's probably still blood stasis in his brain. If he can wake up, bring him to Baicaotang after the wound has healed. We can only try acupuncture; it's hard to say how effective it will be right now." Doctors aren't omnipotent; even with advanced modern medicine that can take X-rays and use X-rays, they can't guarantee anything.

Dr. Tao examined Shi Jie and Le Ge's wounds again and saw that the two children were covered in injuries. New wounds were layered on top of old ones, and everyone gasped. They knew these children were often beaten and scolded, but they never expected the injuries to be so severe. Fortunately, neither of them had suffered any internal organ damage, otherwise they would have been in danger. Children in the village are considered to have lowly lives; a few days of medicine would suffice.

"Isn't that enough? What's the point of treating him? Don't even bother getting any medicine. If he's dead, he's dead. He's just an idiot anyway. Roll him up in a straw mat tonight and send him up the mountain." Jiang immediately started slurring her words as if she were talking about a dog or a cat, without a trace of emotion.

The villagers' faces changed. What kind of people were these?! Even tigers don't eat their cubs! This was a living, breathing human being! The doctor hadn't even said it was untreatable.
