Wang Xiaolan, a traditional Chinese medicine inheritor from the 21st century, was involved in a car accident and transmigrated to the 1970s. She gained a space, outsmarted her cunning and malicious...
"Oh! Old Zhang's wife, you're always there for trouble. Don't you think this fight wouldn't be as lively without you?"
Everyone looked outside the crowd and found that it was the quick-witted Aunt Tian.
Aunt Tian is tall and thin, with neat short hair, and looks very energetic. She is one of the longest-lived residents of the National Security Bureau's family compound and is very popular. She is helpful and always actively participates in neighborhood activities, whether they are neighbors in need or need help.
Moreover, she was very capable at work and managed household chores in an orderly manner. In contrast, Zhang's wife was short and fat. Although they also lived in the same family compound, she was less popular and less capable than Tian's wife. Therefore, when the two of them clashed, Tian's wife naturally had the upper hand.
At this time, everyone was talking about it.
"That's good, there's something interesting to watch."
"Aunt Tian and Sister-in-law Zhang have always been at odds. Whenever they meet, they always quarrel and expose each other's shortcomings."
"Yes! Aunt Tian is here. I see! This time, Sister Zhang will have a hard time."
"Yesterday, an old hen died at Mrs. Zhang's house. She suspected that Aunt Tian had done it on purpose, so the two of them fought for a whole day. The result is predictable."
"But this Zhang girl deserves a beating. Only someone like Aunt Tian can take care of her."
At this moment, Aunt Tian had already come into the crowd. Everyone stopped talking, held their breath, and looked at the two of them.
Aunt Tian has always disliked Aunt Zhang's sarcastic and mean nature.
Her eyes widened in anger as she fiercely yanked off the hand that was holding Wang Xiaolan. Then, she used all her strength to pinch Aunt Zhang tightly, gritting her teeth and saying, "Put your hand down right now! I think you're really so bold! How dare you bully my savior?"
Aunt Zhang asked with a puzzled look on her face, "She's only been here a few days, how come she's your savior? How come we didn't know? Aren't you lying?"
When Wang Xiaolan heard her say this, she was her savior and she was confused for a moment.
She murmured, "Auntie, you are not mistaken! How did I become your savior?"
Everyone present also felt that what Aunt Tian said was indeed unreliable.
Aunt Tian looked at Wang Xiaolan's bewildered face and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, but she continued, "My benefactor, do you really not remember? Just last month, we encountered a terrible thing in the department store. My little grandson accidentally got the candy stuck in his throat while eating it. The situation was very critical at the time, and the child was almost dying!"
When Aunt Tian said this, tears welled up in her eyes, as if she was back to that thrilling moment.
She went on, "Just when we were panicking and at a loss, you hit him on the chest a few times, and the candy came out of the child's throat. If it weren't for you, the consequences would have been unimaginable. So, our family regards you as our savior. By the time I realized what was happening and wanted to thank you, you were gone. I looked for you in the mall for a long time. It's really God's will that I finally met you here." Aunt Tian excitedly grabbed Wang Xiaolan's hand, her gratitude beyond words.
After she reminded her, Wang Xiaolan suddenly remembered that she was shopping in the mall when she heard the cry for help. She hurried over and saw that the situation was very urgent and going to the hospital was impossible. She immediately used the Heimlich maneuver to get the lollipop stuck in the child's throat out.
"Oh! So that's how it is! Actually, as a doctor, I would save people if I saw something like this, so you don't have to take it to heart."
Auntie Tian's face was filled with gratitude as she spoke, her eyes moist. She held Wang Xiaolan's hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Girl, how can I not remember this? I haven't had the chance to thank you properly. If you hadn't intervened in time, my grandson's life would have been in jeopardy."
At this point, she changed the subject and said, "Today, you and your mother encountered such an unreasonable person. I can't just sit back and watch. She is a thorn in the side and doesn't take anyone seriously. I still have ways to deal with such people!"
After saying that, she looked at the Zhang family's sister-in-law and said, "Old Zhang, you're really thicker than a city wall. You've received a lot of help from the Zeng family. Have you forgotten that three years ago, your little son Junjun was abducted by human traffickers, and wasn't it Section Chief Zeng who found him for you? If he hadn't used his connections and asked around, would your child have been found? You owe them a favor and you're still here speaking ill of them. Check your conscience, is it eaten by a dog?"
Mrs. Zhang, hearing what Aunt Tian said, felt a little guilty and stammered, "Who said I forgot? It wasn't just Zeng who found it, it was everyone who found it."
Auntie Tian said, "You are so ungrateful! If your son hadn't been found, wouldn't he have been raised in someone else's home? You cried and begged for help everywhere. If it weren't for Section Chief Zeng stepping in, would you have been able to find your little son?"
The family members present all knew what was going on.
"We all know about this. You, the Zhang family, are such a dishonest person. Who will dare to help you next time something like this happens to your family?"
Auntie Tian continued, "Since you love rubbing salt into other people's wounds, I'll rub salt into yours! I heard your daughter Wenwen's boyfriend is a bully from Liuzheng Street. He's really brought honor to your Zhang family. He was arrested by the police last month for theft. Is that true? What's even more coincidental is that your eldest son was arrested with him."
When everyone heard this, their faces turned into astonishment. They originally thought that only her eldest son was arrested, but they did not expect that her future son-in-law was actually the main culprit in this case! This shocked and surprised everyone.
Now, everyone finally understood why Mrs. Zhang was so anxious and uneasy. She took out the resentment that had been pent up in her heart on others.
At this time, someone said, "Old Zhang, no matter how resentful you are, you shouldn't vent your emotions by hurting Comrade Yu."
Someone else echoed, "Yeah! She didn't provoke you, nor did she offend you. It's really unreasonable."
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her face suddenly darkened, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes. She had never expected Aunt Tian to hit back at her so directly, embarrassing her in front of everyone.
She was already dissatisfied and disappointed with her daughter's eccentric partner, and had been holding a grudge in her heart. Now, hearing Aunt Tian say this, it was like a knife stabbing directly into her heart, making her feel ashamed, as if she had been slapped in the face in public.
This feeling was unbearable for her, so she decided to take action to maintain her face and dignity.
Mrs. Zhang said, making a specious argument, "Don't believe her. It's not true at all. She's just talking nonsense."
As she spoke, she rushed forward like an angry lion, her eyes wide open and her fists clenched, ready to fight with Aunt Tian.
