This cry for help immediately roused the entire Gong Family.
Gong Weimin came out carrying a kerosene lamp. Upon opening the main gate, he saw a woman with a face covered in blood standing outside. "What's happened here? And you are...?"
Deng Xiaojie ignored everything and rushed in. "Doctor Gong, please look at my face quickly!"
She pushed him so forcefully that Gong Weimin almost dropped the kerosene lamp. He barked, "What are you doing?"
At that moment, lights also flickered on in Doctor Gong's room. A voice called out, "Just a moment."
Deng Xiaojie was frantic. "I've injured my face! I can't wait!"
Ma Huihui, the Gong Family's eldest daughter-in-law, came out, somewhat irritated. "Shut your mouth! What's with all this shouting at our house in the middle of the night?"
Startled by the scolding, Deng Xiaojie seemed to sober up a little. "My... my face hurts too much."
