Wufu has harmed me, these four brief words, yet they struck like a heavy hammer, pounding heavily on the hearts of those present, leaving a buzzing in their ears, dizziness their only sensation.
Old Lady Zhou felt a stifling pain in her chest as if someone had struck her heart forcefully, prompting a sweetly metallic taste in her throat. Something surged from within, clamoring for release.
With a retching sound, Old Lady Zhou vomited a mouthful of bright red blood, her steps faltered, and she collapsed backward.
"Mother," Zhou Xueli exclaimed in shock, letting go of Zhou Dajun and rushing over to catch her, bending his body to lift and carry her into the house.
Zhou Xuennian kicked the dazed Madam Lu with his foot and said, "Are you not going to bring that disaster inside?" He, himself, hastened into the main room.
"Big brother…" Zhou Xueli's eyes reddened.
Zhou Xuennian's face was grim as he ordered, "Go fetch Doctor Cheng quickly."
