Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 145: Chapter 145 She Likes to Take Action Directly

Xue’s mother did it on purpose. While her Lin Fang had limited abilities, Doctor Gong was different; his medical skills had been passed down for generations.

As for Chu Zhiqing, even if his medical skills were formidable, he was still an outsider who would eventually return to the city. Naturally, nobody wanted to offend the Gong Family over an educated youth.

Besides, her Lin Fang had been studying with Doctor Gong for so long that Doctor Gong would naturally not stand idly by. Moreover, her own family was connected to the team leader.

Protecting the Gong Family naturally meant protecting Lin Fang as well. Mother Xue was well aware of this and felt quite smug.

At that moment, the team leader whispered a few words to the Branch Secretary before turning to the crowd. ”Alright then, this matter is settled. We can’t be the kind of people who tear down the bridge after crossing the river.

Besides, Chu Zhiqing might return to the city any day, while Doctor Gong and Lin Fang are our own villagers. Don’t get your calculations wrong on this.”

Yunyi almost rolled her eyes at these words. It wasn’t as if she had the slightest desire to remain in the clinic.

She glanced at the still-prattling team leader and thought, Let’s see how long you can remain smug.

The few villagers who had sought Yunyi for acupuncture were quite dissatisfied with the team leader’s decision. However, just as he had said, they didn’t want to offend Doctor Gong.

Yunyi naturally saw their dilemma. Considering they had stood up for her earlier, she said, ”Aunties, I can complete your remaining acupuncture sessions. Let’s see this through to the end.”

The aunties were very moved. After thanking her, they all sighed silently.

Zhao Guihua, who arrived late due to household matters, heard the full story and was about to speak up for Yunyi. However, Yunyi, quick-witted, stopped her. ”Auntie, it’s already decided. There’s no use discussing it further. Besides, I don’t want to work with that Xue Linfang anyway.”

Zhao Guihua thought for a moment and agreed. ”Alright then. In the future, you can come to work with me.”

Yunyi smiled. ”Auntie, I appreciate your kindness. Even though I live outside, I’m still a member of the Zhiqing Point.”

Zhao Guihua understood. ”Alright, no worries. Even if you aren’t assigned with me, I can still look out for you.”

Just then, Geng Erhong approached. ”Yunyi, I heard what happened. Are you alright?”

Yunyi smiled. ”I was just filling in. What could happen?”

But before Geng Erhong could respond, Deng Xiaojie, who was up ahead, remarked with schadenfreude, ”You’ll still have to work in the fields like us to earn work points.”

Bai Suli, eager to add fuel to the fire, said, ”What’s the use of knowing medical skills if you still get driven out by someone who knows nothing? It’s better to keep your head down and avoid becoming a laughingstock.”

Deng Xiaojie wanted to chime in, but just as she opened her mouth, she felt her stomach churn again. Frightened, she immediately clutched it and ran off.

Yunyi saw her reaction and, recalling her own handiwork from that day, couldn’t help but laugh.

Geng Erhong, knowing why Yunyi was laughing, whispered, ”I don’t know what’s gotten into Deng Zhiqing. Her stomach bothers her a dozen times a day, and at random intervals. She must be too embarrassed to ask you to check on her; she even went to the commune health center. But despite taking a lot of medicine, it’s done no good. She’s still the same.”

Yunyi thought, That was a medicine I concocted myself. How could it be easily countered by others? Unless I personally intervene, she’ll just have to wait for the effects to wear off before she finds any peace.

Bai Suli, peeved that Yunyi was ignoring her, HMPHED and said, ”Let’s see how smug you can be from now on!”

Yunyi, with her sharp hearing, naturally caught Bai Suli’s words but didn’t bother to argue. She preferred direct action and watching her make a fool of herself.

Thus, with a mere thought, a small stone appeared in her hand. After a forceful throw, a cry of ”OUCH!” was heard as Bai Suli sprawled on the ground.
