Becoming an Old Country Girl: Heading to Flee the Famine with a Baby

Can anyone relate? How did I wake up and find myself time-traveled? Couldn't they have made me a princess? Who is so unlucky to be reborn as a country girl with a child out of wedlock?

Fo...

Chapter 303 Divine Retribution

"Oh my God! What kind of quack doctor is this! I'm just an old woman who came here with my sick daughter, all respectful and proper, and before he even examined me, I was humiliated to my face..."

While crying and complaining, Old Lady Li slapped her thigh and started making a scene in the street.

Because of her loud and shrill voice, she attracted the attention of both those seeking medical treatment and those not.

Hua Yan was startled by Old Lady Li's loud voice and couldn't react for a moment.

He was born into a family of doctors and had never encountered an old woman who would throw a tantrum in the street.

Seeing that the people around him had started pointing and whispering about him, Hua Yan's cheeks turned red with anger.

He stammered angrily, "You...you...you...ignorant woman!"

"Pah! You dog-like bastard! What kind of miracle doctor are you? I think you're just a quack, a fraud!"

Old Mrs. Li stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Hua Yan, muttering curses under her breath.

When Hua Yan's servants saw their mistress being bullied, they grabbed sticks and stood in front of her.

Grandma Li was startled, her voice became much softer, and she took a few steps back in fear.

Zhen Wanwan stepped in front of Old Lady Li in time, and had already quietly raised the stun gun in her hand.

Prepare to retaliate when the other party makes a move.

Despite her fear, Old Lady Li mustered her courage and asked, "What? Do you intend to commit violence in the street?"

"Let me tell you! If you dare to lay a finger on my daughter, the county magistrate will definitely throw you in the dungeon!"

Knowing that the county magistrate's wife and her daughter had a good relationship, Old Lady Li became even more confident.

Even if the county magistrate doesn't help, she still has her son-in-law who is a high-ranking official!

Hua Yan frowned, and only then did he have time to take a second look at Zhen Wanwan and the other two.

He wasn't afraid of a mere county magistrate; given his background, he could do whatever he wanted anywhere.

However, he went in secret this time, carrying a mission.

If these three ignorant women expose him, his whereabouts will become known.

This is something he absolutely does not want to see.

Thinking of this, Hua Yan could only swallow her anger and didn't want to argue with Zhen Wanwan and the others.

"Fine! Get out of here! I won't pursue this matter this time!"

Zhen Wanwan snorted coldly, her eyes filled with mockery, and said, "You say you won't pursue this matter, but we were just scolded by you for no reason. How are we supposed to settle this?"

Hua Yan looked at Zhen Wanwan with disgust; these people were always insatiable.

He shamelessly approached me because of a trivial matter.

What do you want?

Zhen Wanwan rolled her eyes at Hua Yan, all traces of goodwill she had shown towards him vanished.

"I demand that you apologize to my mother, Aunt Zhou, and me in person!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yan looked at Zhen Wanwan as if she were a fool, as if he wanted to pry open her head to see what she was thinking.

"Don't even think about it! Give them the medicine, and reward them with one tael of silver!"

The servant boy, named Laiyao, skillfully handed Zhen Wanwan a tael of silver.

He had done this kind of cleanup work many times before.

He faced Zhen Wanwan and the others with an air of arrogance.

"Here's the money! Hurry up and get out of here! Don't disturb my young master's medical treatment!"

Zhen Wanwan did not accept the money from the other party. When the medicine arrived, she wasn't paying attention, and the money rolled onto the ground.

Hua Yan didn't even glance at him, and simply sat down in his designated seat.

When Lai Yao saw that Zhen Wanwan and the other two were still not leaving, he directly pushed and shoved them.

"Get out of here! The money has already been given to you! Don't get in our way, the people behind are waiting for my young master to see a doctor!"

Zhen Wanwan treated the medicine as if it were air and stunned him with a stun gun.

Then she glared at Hua Yan and demanded, "Are you going to apologize or not?"

The patient jumped up in pain as the medicine was administered, looking very distressed.

"Ouch! That hurts! That hurts..."

Perhaps due to the intense pain, Laiyao unconsciously pushed Huayan, who was closest to her, to the ground.

Hua Yan was stunned by this sudden scene.

"What are you doing, Laiyao?"

However, Laiyao had no time to deal with him and just kept crying out in pain.

Seeing this, the remaining servants mustered their courage and helped Hua Yan up.

Hua Yan was furious with these people. He glared at Zhen Wanwan, looking like he wanted to devour her.

"You ignorant country bumpkin! What did you do to my servant?"

Zhen Wanwan grinned and chuckled, waving her hand innocently: "How would I know? He lay down right after he finished speaking. Hmm... maybe he was too sleepy and wanted to go to sleep!"

Hua Yan would never believe such nonsense! He's not a three-year-old.

"Since you're not going to tell the truth, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Zhen Wanwan narrowed her eyes, and before he could unleash any nonsense, she had already knocked him unconscious with an electric shock.

"Young Master!"

Are you alright?

The servants were alarmed by this scene. How could their young master lie down after making such a threatening statement?

The main problem is that their young master was so angry he was practically fuming; even his hair was standing on end.

Looking at Hua Yan, who was covered in dust and looked pained, Zhen Wanwan felt much better.

"Your young master has been struck by lightning and is being punished by the heavens. This is to teach you to behave properly from now on and not be so arrogant!"

This was the first time anyone around had seen something like this, and they were wondering why people would suddenly get so worked up while arguing.

Hearing Zhen Wanwan's explanation, I immediately thought of the scene of someone being struck by lightning.

It matches the scene right in front of us perfectly!

"I've seen people get struck by lightning before, just like this person!"

"Me too! My cousin's wife, my uncle, was struck by lightning and died in the mountains because she was bragging too much! I even went to see her back then, and her hair was all sticking up like that person's!"

"I've seen that before too..."

The onlookers, having come to watch the spectacle, shared their experiences of what they had seen and heard.

They immediately concluded that Hua Yan and his servant had been punished by heaven.

Hua Yan, who had been practicing health preservation for many years, only came to his senses at this moment. Listening to the discussions around him, he suddenly felt even more pain in his body.

He felt as if he were being electrocuted, a tingling, numb sensation.

And it also has a burnt smell!

Zhen Wanwan squatted down in front of Hua Yan and said curiously, "Oh dear! I hope you don't get roasted! It smells really good. If a wild dog smells it and comes over, it might start gnawing on your bones!"

"Ah!" Hua Yan screamed in fright, as if she had remembered something terrifying.

His body trembled uncontrollably, and he shrank back.

Zhen Wanwan was stunned; she hadn't expected Hua Yan to react so strongly.

Looking at his frightened little face, his dark cheeks couldn't hide his adorable features.

Zhen Wanwan sighed, "This child is really stubborn!"

Why suffer this pain when you could just apologize to her?

"Kid! Are you thirteen years old yet?"

Hua Yan looked at Zhen Wanwan in shock, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Does this woman know him?

He had indeed just turned thirteen, but he had always been taller and more mature than others since childhood.
