Chapter 16
The house of Mrs. Qi’s house is located in the southeast of Miyi Lane. There are several houses in the alley with better feng shui, so the rent of the yard is different from that of others.
Naturally, everything in the yard is different from other yards.
Shu Yan followed a group of women and tried hard to let his eyes scan all the layout of the Qi family's house in the shortest time, but in the end he could only give a delicate descriptive word, and nothing else could be described.
The maid from the Qi family was a thin girl named Xiaomu. After Shu and his group entered the back house, Xiaomu led them all the way.
"How is your wife doing now? Is the witch doctor still treating her?" Mrs. Li, who had white face, took her eyes off the buildings and decorations in the yard. Cha Ju Xiaomu asked, "Did the witch doctor say what the disease is?"
Xiaomu cried and took a few breaths and said to everyone: "My wife has nothing special. She just started to feel a little pain in her hands two months ago!"
"Hands hurt? Will you have to worry about the witch doctor?" Mrs. Li frowned and said with a little jealousy: "Mr. Qi is so nice to Mr. Qi! She is willing to spend money to invite the witch doctor..."
When the ladies who came to visit the sick heard this, their eyes changed suddenly. When they looked at the Qi family's house again, they felt a hint of imperceptible jealousy.
Shu Ying did not notice the changes in the women around him at all. Instead, listening to Xiaomu's words, he guessed in his heart what was wrong with Mrs. Qi's hand.
Xiaomu and everyone soon arrived at the flower hall outside the house where Concubine Qi lived, took the teacup and savored it carefully, and began to ask again.
"When will we meet Mrs. Qi?"
"The Witch Doctor hasn't come out yet?"
Xiaomu kept shook his head, and his eyes were worried and anxious to look at the house where Mrs. Qi lived.
After about a cup of tea, there was a movement in Mrs. Qi's house, and there was a faint sound of sorrow and crying.
Several families from the Qi family came out with a heavy face and bowed to him respectfully and repeatedly. Then the Qi family sent him to him personally and walked out of the gate. After the remaining families found the women, they were surprised and quickly bowed and left, leaving only a little girl from the Qi family to entertain guests!
Several women quickly put the teacup in their hands, turned their eyes sly towards the direction of Mrs. Qi's house, and asked quickly: "How is Mrs. Qi? Can we go in and take a look?"
The little girl in the Qi family looked pale, her eyes were still faintly red. She quickly turned around and looked at everyone with a blessing. Then she said sadly: "Thank you all the wives' care, my mother is in a very good mood at this moment. I hope you all the wives will forgive me..."
"Mrs. Qi knows we are here?" Mrs. Zhang, who had a thrust on her head, frowned and asked with some displeasure: "You are Mrs. Qi's daughter, Miss Qi San, right? If you don't ask your mother, you will just drive us away? This is how the family tradition of the Qi family treats the guests who come to the door?"
Miss Qi San looked at Mrs. Zhang in shock and horror, her lips stammered, and tears instantly surged into her eyes. This is to scold her for not having a tutor!
Xiaomu looked at his lady, then looked at the aggressive Mrs. Zhang, and quickly returned: "Mrs. Please wait, ladies. The maid will go and ask my wife!"
"Hmph!" Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly, straightened her back, and looked at the third lady of the Qi family who stood there with her shoulders shrinking and she kept crying but could not refute anything. She had no intention of comforting her at all.
Shu Ying sighed, looked at Mrs. Zhang and looked at the third lady of the Qi family. She was about to go forward to comfort her, but she watched Xiaomu walk back quickly and said respectfully to everyone: "My ladies, my wife invites you in!"
Mrs. Zhang raised her chin coldly and took her eyes back from the lady of Qi, then stepped into the back hall and saw the wife of Qi who was wiping her tears and leaning on the carved wooden bed, with a haggard and red-eyed look on the carved wooden bed.
"Mrs. Qi, what's wrong with you? Yesterday was fine, why did you look like this today?" When Mrs. Li saw Mrs. Qi, she immediately shouted, and fell in front of Mrs. Qi a few steps, and asked with concern: "Why are you still crying? The witch doctor is here, Mrs. Qi, your illness must be cured until the disease is cured, that is, you can just take a few more days of rest!"
When Mrs. Qi heard this, her tears became even more fierce.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Zhang calmed down the coldness that had just been outside the door, frowned and looked at Mrs. Qi and asked, "I heard that the witch doctor has been here for a long time. Have you given the medicine?"
"Give medicine? What medicine? My hand is useless! It's useless!" When Mrs. Qi heard Mrs. Zhang's words, the crying that had just been suppressed suddenly poured out, and she shouted and said to everyone: "Mr. Doctor Witch said that I am hitting an evil ghost. As long as I get rid of the evil ghost, I can get rid of it! He can't cure it, so let me go and find the Taoist priest to see it! But... But my master from Ziyang County has already found this Taoist priest last month to see it for me... But my hand still hurts!"
"Does the hand hurt? It's just the hand hurt?" Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, her eyes fell on a weak arm of Mrs. Qi, and her eyes flashed twice.
"It's just a hand hurt?" Mrs. Qi's face looked at Mrs. Zhang with a distorted look, and said gritting her teeth: "This has cost me half my life!!"
Mrs. Zhang took a step awkwardly and sighed in verbal wonder.
But Mrs. Qi continued to cry and howl: "The witch doctor said that it can't be cured. If the Taoist priests can't save it, let me saw off my arm! Let me saw off my arm... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
"Mom!" After hearing this, the third lady of the Qi family cried and rushed onto Mrs. Qi, and burst into tears in grief.
Several women looked at each other, and a hint of sadness appeared in their eyes.
Among them, Concubine Qi is the happiest person. When she is with them, she always loves to laugh the most and cheerful. When have they seen her look so painful and desperate as she is now?
