"Brother, aren't you marrying Sister-in-law? How did you end up as a live-in son-in-law?" Wan Yunting asked in surprise.
Wan Dongming's face was filled with embarrassment. After all, being a live-in son-in-law was not an honorable thing.
No man with dignity would choose to live with the woman's family. That's why he had kept it hidden from Wan Yunting before.
"What, are you ashamed to be our Wang family's live-in son-in-law?"
Zheng Peihui's sharp and sarcastic face glared disdainfully at Wan Yunting and Wan Dongming. "When your Wan family went bankrupt, if my daughter hadn't taken him in, your second brother would have died on the streets long ago."
"It's his good fortune from his past life to be able to marry into our Wang family. Don't be ungrateful."
Wan Yunting frowned, looking at his second brother's flushed and awkward face. He felt guilt and self-reproach!
If it hadn't been for him back then, his parents wouldn't have been harmed, and his second brother wouldn't have ended up as a live-in son-in-law!
"Mom, stop talking. Our third brother is getting out of prison today. I'll have Aunt Chen prepare a feast to welcome him..." Wang Chulin grabbed her mother, not wanting her husband to lose face in front of his third brother.
"Welcome him from where? From prison?"
Zheng Peihui flung her daughter's hand away and reprimanded her. Pointing at Wan Yunting with her thumb, she warned Wan Dongming, "You useless man, don't even think about letting him live in this house. We don't welcome criminals. If the neighbors find out, they'll think we're harboring a criminal!"
"Mom, you're going too far!"
Wan Dongming couldn't stand it and said angrily, "You can look down on me, but you can't talk about my third brother like that. He's not a rapist, he's been framed."
"Don't tell me that."
Zheng Peihui waved her hand, putting on an arrogant, unwilling-to-listen attitude. "In short, I'll say this: he can't live in my house. If you have a problem with that, then you can get out with him and never come back to our Wang family!"
"You..."
Wan Dongming's eyes widened, and his body trembled. He didn't know how to retort to this shrewish mother-in-law.
Wan Yunting, standing beside him, remained calm and unruffled. Since his brother's mother-in-law didn't welcome him, there was no need to stay shamelessly.
"Husband, I feel dizzy..."
Suddenly, Wang Chulin clutched her forehead, looking pained. Her delicate body swayed, and she was about to fall.
"Be careful..."
Wan Yunting reacted quickly. As Wang Chulin fell, he stepped forward to support her.
"Wife, what's wrong?"
Wan Dongming was shocked, not knowing why Wang Chulin was fainting.
Zheng Peihui was also startled. Seeing Wan Yunting holding her daughter, she rushed forward and yanked him fiercely. "You rapist, get away! Don't touch my daughter."
Wan Yunting, who had been pulled away, raised his eyebrows. However, he didn't have time to deal with Zheng Peihui. He said to his second brother, "Sister-in-law is likely fainting due to a cold illness. She needs immediate rescue."
"Third brother, then hurry and check on her..."
Wan Dongming, holding Wang Chulin, was full of anxiety. He knew that Wan Yunting had learned traditional Chinese medicine from a master in prison. "Your Sister-in-law's health has always been poor. A few years ago, she even had leukemia and recovered after a bone marrow transplant, but her health has been deteriorating these past two years. Doctors say it's a sequela of leukemia."
Wan Yunting had already knelt down and taken his sister-in-law's wrist, placing three fingers on her pulse. He frowned and said after a moment, "It's a cold evil invading the internal organs, causing qi and blood deficiency, affecting the heart's normal rhythm. She needs immediate rescue..."
It could be said that Wang Chulin's cold illness had reached a very dangerous stage.
It was like seeing plants in winter, covered in a layer of frost, like ice!
Now, Wang Chulin's heart and internal organs were enveloped by a cold evil. If she didn't receive emergency rescue immediately, she could experience cardiac arrest at any moment!
As he spoke, Wan Yunting opened his travel bag and took out a set of silver needles passed down from his master. He opened the cloth bag, which contained countless silver needles of various lengths. He picked out a seven-inch-long silver needle, preparing to perform acupuncture on his sister-in-law.
"What are you doing?"
Zheng Peihui, who had returned to the villa's living room to call for an ambulance, came out. Seeing Wan Yunting holding a long silver needle and about to prick her daughter's chest, she rushed over and kicked him hard on the shoulder. "Get away! Who told you to use needles on my daughter?"
"Mom, what are you doing? My third brother is treating Chulin..." Wan Dongming was anxious and pulled Wan Yunting, who had fallen to the ground, up.
"What's wrong with me hitting him? Didn't you see him being indecent with Chulin?"
Zheng Peihui glared and pointed at Wan Dongming, shouting sternly, "You take him and get out now! I don't want to see this person again. I've already called an ambulance, and the doctor will be here soon."
Wan Yunting turned his head and asked his second brother, "How long will it take for the ambulance to get here?"
"Fifteen minutes."
"It's too late. In another five minutes, Sister-in-law's heart will stop," Wan Yunting said with a grave expression.
"Then what should we do?" Wan Dongming was anxious.
"If you dare to touch my daughter again!"
Zheng Peihui stepped forward, spreading her arms like a mother hen protecting her chicks, blocking Wan Yunting and the others.
Wan Yunting's expression was blank. His brother's mother-in-law was too overbearing.
"Mom, my third brother learned traditional Chinese medicine from a master in prison. He can definitely save Chulin..." Wan Dongming said anxiously and coaxed her.
"Useless, has your brain been kicked by a donkey?"
Zheng Peihui glared and pointed at Wan Yunting, scolding, "What good medical skills can he learn in prison? You dare let him treat Chulin? Oh, I know!"
"You want him to kill my daughter so you can inherit my Wang family's property, right?"
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Wan Dongming was so angry and exasperated that he felt this mother-in-law's imagination was too rich; it would be a shame if she didn't write novels.
Wan Yunting saw Wang Chulin, whose face was gradually turning purple as she lay on the grass. "It's too late, Second Brother. Hurry and carry Sister-in-law inside."
"Okay."
Wan Dongming was extremely anxious. He ignored Zheng Peihui and ran into the living room with Wang Chulin in his arms...
Zheng Peihui still wanted to stop them, but Wan Yunting suddenly turned back and looked at her with sharp, cold eyes, saying, "If you don't want your daughter to die, then keep throwing your tantrum!"
In an instant, Zheng Peihui trembled all over. Wan Yunting's extremely cold eyes seemed capable of killing, frightening her into stiffness. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word...
Wan Yunting ignored her and turned to go into the villa and upstairs. Wang Chulin had already been carried back to the room by Wan Dongming and was lying flat on the bed.
"Second Brother, do we have an alcohol lamp at home?" Wan Yunting asked as he entered.
"Yes."
As he spoke, Wan Dongming went out and returned shortly with an alcohol lamp. He placed it on the bedside table and lit it. Wan Yunting held a seven-inch silver needle with four fingers and sterilized it over the alcohol lamp flame. "Second Brother, please unbutton Sister-in-law's clothes. I need to perform acupuncture on her..."
Wan Dongming was stunned for a moment, then reacted with an "oh" and got on the bed to unbutton his wife's shirt...
Wan Yunting held the silver needle suspended in the air for five seconds before turning to look at his sister-in-law. Wan Yunting's eyes were solemn, without a trace of lewdness. He leaned over, and the silver needle in his hand steadily pierced Wang Chulin's Tanzhong acupoint...
"You damn rapist, if anything happens to my daughter, I'll make sure you two brothers spend your lives in prison..." Zheng Peihui, having recovered from her shock, also came in. Seeing this scene, she screamed in terror.
Wan Yunting was completely focused and ignored the others. He continued to sterilize the second needle and steadily inserted it into his sister-in-law's Jiuwei acupoint...
The third needle, the fourth needle...
They extended all the way to Wang Chulin's abdomen, with more than a dozen needles arranged at various acupoints throughout her internal organs...
Wan Dongming, standing by the bed, was nervous. This was the first time he had seen his third brother use traditional Chinese medicine, so he was also very apprehensive.
Wan Yunting continued to insert needles into Wang Chulin's forehead, Touwei, Zuzan, Tongtian, Baihui, and other major acupoints on her head...
"Ouch, what are you doing?"
Zheng Peihui saw Wan Yunting holding such long needles and trying to pierce her daughter's head. She was so frightened her heart pounded and she wanted to stop him.
"Shut up!"
Wan Dongming turned back and shouted at her, "Mom, can you please be quiet?"
Seeing her son-in-law dare to yell at her, Zheng Peihui glared angrily. "Fine, fine, fine. If anything happens to Chulin, I will never forgive you..."
"Cough..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Chulin, who was covered in needles, coughed lightly and woke up.
"Sister-in-law, don't move yet."
Wan Yunting, who was behind her head, said, "I'm performing acupuncture treatment on you. If you move randomly, the 'qi' will dissipate!"
Wang Chulin recognized Wan Yunting's voice and weakly responded.
"Wife, be obedient. Third Brother is treating you." Seeing his wife wake up, Wan Dongming was excited.
Zheng Peihui was also stunned. She looked at her awakened daughter and saw Wan Yunting's large hand still holding the silver needle inserted into the Baihui acupoint on Wang Chulin's head.
A "qi" that was invisible to the naked eye was flowing through Wan Yunting's large hand, guided by the silver needle, into Wang Chulin's Baihui acupoint and all the acupoints on her body that were pierced by needles...
"Third Brother, you're amazing."
Wan Dongming was happy. It seemed his third brother had really learned impressive medical skills from a master in prison.
"Hmph, it's just a fluke. My daughter's illness was never serious to begin with," Zheng Peihui said, crossing her arms and snorting coldly.
How could a proud rich woman like her easily bow down to others?
Moreover, the other party was a rapist who had been to prison!
