Mrs. Xue's right hand had been dislocated, so the Shu family had no choice but to seek out the physician, exchanging Mrs. Xue's meals for the day as payment.
It was still the same physician, whom Mrs. Xue knew to be of little use.
But at that moment, there was no one else to turn to for a doctor.
So the physician set Mrs. Xue's bone, but she felt something was not right. It kept throbbing in pain.
Yet her entire body ached, so she could not tell whether it was due to the bone being set incorrectly or because of the beating she had suffered earlier on.
The Shu family members were exceedingly irritated. Seeing Mrs. Xue's condition, they knew she would be unable to work, just like the Second Young Lady, for the following days.
She couldn't work but still needed to eat, drink, and request leave; this was not tormenting her but tormenting them instead.
