Chapter 1267: Chapter 1263: Blame Yourself

"Xiangxiang..." Old Mrs. Mu shouted.

But Mu Xiangxiang was already like that, how could she respond to Old Mrs. Mu’s words?

There was no choice, so Mr. Mu had to instruct Mu Danian and Mu Dazhong to carry her to Zhang Huai Shu’s place.

However, Mu Danian and Mu Dazhong, both grown men, refused to go near.

They were both leaning against nearby trees, vomiting uncontrollably.

"Dad, you’d better not make us go, Xiangxiang is beyond saving!" Mu Dazhong said.

"Nonsense! You beast, she’s your sister, how can you dislike her!" Mr. Mu roared loudly.

He cursed Mu Dazhong.

"Dad, it’s not about disliking, have you seen Xiangxiang’s condition, and the things she vomited... Oh, no, I’m going to puke..."

Mu Dazhong said.

Even at such a time, Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian were considering their own interests instead of saving a life.

Mr. Mu was both angry and felt chilled.

"Old Fourth, you go, Xiangxiang’s situation cannot be delayed!" Mr. Mu turned to call Mu Dajiang.

Without hesitating, Mu Dajiang headed towards those filthy things.

He reached out his hand and separated Mu Xiangxiang from the dirty pile of filth.

He then hurried towards Zhang Huai Shu’s house.

Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu followed behind; along the way, Old Mrs. Mu cried nonstop.

Seeing this situation, villagers started to spread rumors, saying Mu Xiangxiang had committed suicide after being abandoned and was taken to Zhang Huai Shu’s for treatment by the Old Mu Family.

Zhang Huai Shu was about to go out for a visit when suddenly a bunch of people appeared in his yard.

At first glance, it was the Old Mu Family again.

His headache instantly became severe.

"Old Zhang, help me save my daughter!" Mr. Mu stepped forward and said to Zhang Huai Shu.

Zhang Huai Shu glanced at Mu Xiangxiang, his face changing drastically.

"Go, quickly go, I’ve said before, if anything happens to this girl, I will not treat her!"

This wasn’t the first time Zhang Huai Shu had said it; every visit to the Old Mu Family, he would tell Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu to control Mu Xiangxiang’s food intake.

Each time, he was scolded by Old Mrs. Mu.

Moreover, he repeated that if one day Mu Xiangxiang did have a problem, he absolutely wouldn’t treat her!

"Old Zhang, it’s not the time for that, lives are at stake, don’t hesitate anymore!"

Mr. Mu felt that in the face of life, the matter was trivial.

But he forgot about Zhang Huai Shu’s temper.

Zhang Huai Shu had long refused to treat anyone at the Old Mu Family; it was only through requests from Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng that he went.

Now, since neither of them were involved, Zhang Huai Shu found no reason to compromise.

"I said I wouldn’t look and I won’t! I repeatedly reminded and warned you, you treated my words as mere whispers.

Now that something has happened, you come to preach, doctor’s conscience! I won’t be such a senseless grandson!"

Zhang Huai Shu’s words were quite harsh as well.

Old Mrs. Mu was infuriated, pointing at his nose and cursing, "You shameless scum, asking you to see my daughter is giving you face. If you refuse, I’ll have my son arrest you to face the magistrate, make you rot in prison for life!"

Zhang Huai Shu had practiced medicine for decades, never had he seen anyone more arrogant than Old Mrs. Mu.

Waiting for treatment while cursing him.

At that moment, Zhang Huai Shu decided not to be polite.

He picked up the broom in the yard and shouted to the people of the Old Mu Family, "Get out, get out of here! Our Zhang Family doesn’t allow your filthy presence!"

The broom swung wildly, almost hitting people several times.

Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian from the Old Mu Family stayed far away, terrified of being hit.

As for Mrs. Lin, who watched the commotion, she silently hoped Zhang Huai Shu wouldn’t treat, letting Mu Xiangxiang die would be for the best!

Mu Xiangxiang still had plenty of dowry, if she died, those dowries should be handed back!

Old Mrs. Mu was extremely angry, trying several times to grab Zhang Huai Shu’s broom to teach him a lesson.

But she never caught hold; her intentions got noticed by Zhang Huai Shu, who began to shout loudly.

"Villagers who benefited from my kindness, come over to help me. This old hag won’t accept my treatment and wants to hit me; come quickly!"

Quite a few villagers were already watching the spectacle but didn’t dare approach due to the presence of the Old Mu Family.

They could only watch from afar.

Judging by the Mu Family and Zhang Huai Shu’s expression, they knew he wasn’t agreeing.

The broom waving and shouting further confirmed Zhang Huai Shu’s refusal to cure.

Moreover, a few men who had benefited from Zhang Huai Shu did step forward.

They entered the yard and shielded Zhang Huai Shu.

In the end, everyone understood!

Mu Dade handled county matters, opportunities for villagers to gain benefits were scarce.

But Zhang Huai Shu was different; he consistently provided free consultations several days each month.

He also gave medicine to the needy villagers and some owed him medical fees they hadn’t paid in years. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Comparing this, even fools knew to choose Zhang Huai Shu!

With so many villagers present, Old Mrs. Mu didn’t dare to act out.

She started crying and causing a ruckus, accusing Zhang Huai Shu of watching death without helping.

Unworthy of being a doctor, she claimed he bullied her because her son wasn’t there.

The twisted logic even intimidated members of the Old Mu Family!

"I won’t see your Old Mu Family’s daughter; anyone else, I would!"

Zhang Huai Shu stood firm, sticking to his statement.

Others did not know what to say!

"Old lady, your words are too provocative. Uncle Zhang is the village’s only doctor; of course, treating illnesses is within reach.

You come asking for a favor, couldn’t adjust your attitude, but instead want to fight, what sense does that make?

Moreover, your daughter is already in this state, but you don’t care about her and think about fighting, isn’t it unreasonable?"

One woman spoke up, naturally defending Zhang Huai Shu.

But Old Mrs. Mu didn’t grasp the reasoning; she only knew her son was the county magistrate, and what she said must be followed!

"That’s not how you say it; treating and saving people is what he should do. My daughter is sick now; if he doesn’t save her, who will?" Old Mrs. Mu arrogantly asked.

"Based on your logic, you’re a villager, farming is your duty, why don’t you farm every day?"

Zhang Huai Shu’s wife, Cui Shi, came out from inside the house.

Cui Shi rarely appeared in front of villagers and always seemed delicate, barely noticeable.

This time, for her husband, she stepped forward.

"My husband said you shouldn’t feed your daughter like a pig, eating amounts that could feed several people, but you didn’t listen, constantly humiliating him.

As a doctor, my husband did what he should. But you as parents, at such critical times, care about who wins or loses, which makes you unworthy parents! If your daughter loses her life today, it’s entirely your fault!"
