As Dr. Ma was performing acupuncture on Li Chuntao, everyone in the room held their breath.

They were afraid that any sound might disturb Dr. Ma, leading to a mistake with the needles, as they were inserted into the head—something not to be taken lightly.

A moment later, they saw Dr. Ma start to remove the needles, pulling out the large and small needles from the head. Only then did the Li family dare to speak, "Dr. Ma, how is it? Is there any hope?"

"Let’s see if there’s any improvement tonight. I’ll prescribe some medicine to help her regain consciousness."

Because he heard that the person was unconscious on the way here, he had brought medicine for both treating muscle and bone injuries and unconsciousness with him. He took out the medicine. "Who will brew the medicine?"

Yang Gang’s wife hurriedly squeezed in, taking the medicine while saying, "I’ll do it."

Listening to the doctor’s instructions about the dosage and method of brewing, she nodded repeatedly and went out to prepare the medicine. Alu also hurried out to help.

Xiaoxiao looked at the situation, realizing there was no other way but to wait and see if Li Chuntao would wake up that night. It was clear that the Li family would not leave her side; they were all focused on Li Chuntao and certainly not thinking about much else.

So she quickly said, "Thank you, Dr. Ma. Sorry for bothering you with this trip. Since Chuntao hasn’t woken up yet, we have to trouble you to stay at our house a little longer. If Chuntao wakes up at night, you can check on her."

Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, Chuntao’s father also spoke, "Yes, sorry to trouble you, Dr. Ma."

Dr. Ma nodded, indicating his agreement. Being familiar with them, he certainly wanted to do his best. However, he had just noticed no change in Li Chuntao’s expression while administering the acupuncture, suggesting it might not be effective.

But he kept this thought to himself, deciding to wait and see first.

Yang Ming’s mother quickly ushered Dr. Ma out and settled him in.

At this moment, Yang’s father received a message from his eldest daughter-in-law and rushed back from the fish pond. Upon entering, he exchanged a few warm greetings with the Li family and, seeing that they were focused on Li Chuntao, tactfully left the room.

The Li family remained by Li Chuntao’s side, not daring to blink, hoping to witness her waking up firsthand.

Seeing the Li family so focused, Xiaoxiao knew she should leave space for them. The room was small, and having too many people was not good for Li Chuntao, so she also left.

Only Yang Dong stood there dumbfounded, unwilling to leave, and it was Xiaoxiao who finally pulled him out.

The Li family now wanted to flay Yang Dong alive; staying there was asking for trouble.

If it weren’t for Yang Dong, Li Chuntao would never have gone to Yang Family Village.

If it weren’t for Yang Dong refusing to listen and carelessly tossing her, Li Chuntao wouldn’t have fallen.

The Li family might even hate Yang Dong to death.

So, instead of waiting under the Li family’s watchful eyes for Li Chuntao to wake, he should wait in the outer courtyard.

Yang Dong was dragged to the outer courtyard but remained motionless once there.

With his stubborn demeanor, Xiaoxiao had no choice but to let him be.

After leaving the room, Xiaoxiao joined her family in busying themselves since so many guests had arrived. They couldn’t be neglected, and food and drinks needed to be prepared. Although the Li family might not feel like eating due to Li Chuntao’s situation, preparations still needed to be made.

Yang Dong was left standing alone in the outer courtyard, separated by only a door from the inner room, listening to the conversations of the Li family.
