“I immediately went up to her and asked her what she meant! But she said she hadn’t said anything and then ran away. I tried to stop her, but she pushed me.”

"I stumbled and then got angry, and we started fighting!"

The woman being pointed at immediately shouted, "I...I never said anything like that! You're slandering me!"

Ye Nian'an narrowed her eyes, revealing a dangerous aura.

She naturally believed Chu Xin'er, but the woman who had been beaten up obviously couldn't speak up and say bad things about Ye Nian'an at this time.

Upon hearing the news, Shi Minghui rushed over: "What exactly happened?"

"Captain, it's like this..."

Chu Xin'er quickly recounted the whole story, giving the old lady no chance to defend herself.

Shi Minghui frowned deeply as he looked at the middle-aged woman with a bruised and swollen face: "Aunt Gu, it's you again?!"

"You were caught red-handed spreading rumors this time. Are you still going to deny it? Who started this trend anyway!"

Aunt Gu started sweating profusely: "I...I didn't, Captain, you can't just believe everything they say just because you have a good relationship with the Chu family! I've already said I didn't do it!"

Shi Minghui snorted coldly: "There are precedents to learn from. Before, when you were the one who kept making up stories about Comrade Meng Sufang and several other female comrades in the brigade not being pregnant, when will you finally shut your mouth!"

"In my opinion, Comrade Chu Xin'er beating you was too lenient; you should be disciplined properly! So many rumors and gossips about you in the brigade were caused by you!"

Meng Sufang chimed in, "I can testify to that. Aunt Gu, my husband caught you red-handed making up stories about me before, and it even went all the way to the brigade headquarters. You may have forgotten, but I haven't!"

"I...I..."

Aunt Gu was so angry that her face turned red, but she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Chu Xin'er rolled her eyes and immediately pointed at the parents who were still standing not far away with their students: "Captain, who said there are no witnesses?"

"I just saw Aunt Zhang being pulled and dragged by Aunt Gu, while she secretly slandered my sister-in-law's medical skills, saying that she was bad at medicine and would kill people."

"How can this unhealthy trend be allowed to spread within the brigade? It must be thoroughly eradicated!"

The woman being pointed at, Aunt Zhang, was pulling her grandson along, looking flustered.

She could have just left, but Chu Xin'er and Aunt Gu got into a fight, and it was such a fierce fight that it attracted quite a crowd.

Aunt Zhang was afraid that someone might die and she would be implicated, so she had no choice but to stay and check on the situation.

Ye Nian'an spoke coldly: "Captain, I feel that the rumors circulating about today's incident have caused great damage to my reputation, and I need an explanation."

"Who exactly spread these rumors?!"

As she spoke, Ye Nian'an glared at Aunt Gu.

Having heard of Ye Nian'an's formidable reputation, the latter subconsciously took a few steps back, now filled with deep regret.

When you first heard that Aunt Zhang was going to take her child to see Ye Nian'an for treatment, why did you have to keep talking about it and drag her into it?

Now look what happened! Chu Xin'er caught him red-handed, and that woman is so fierce. She grabbed him and gave him a good beating, which even attracted the attention of the brigade leader, who then gave him a reprimand.

What did they do to deserve this?

I absolutely refuse to admit this now, even if it kills me!

Shi Minghui's voice turned serious: "Fine, Aunt Zhang, tell me, what exactly happened! Did Aunt Gu tell you any of this?"

"I...I..."

Aunt Zhang hesitated and dared not speak.

First, although Aunt Gu was being gossipy, she meant well and was trying to dissuade them. They were neighbors, and if this got out, it would be so awkward since they would see each other all the time.

Secondly, the Chu family's power is well-known in the brigade, and Aunt Zhang also doesn't want to offend the Chu family. Wouldn't this just add fuel to the fire?

After thinking it over, I realized I had to blame myself.

Knowing perfectly well that Aunt Gu was saying something unpleasant, why didn't I know how to refuse?

Now he's in a dilemma, not wanting to offend either side!

Ye Nian'an said decisively, "Captain, her hesitation is probably because she's afraid of Aunt Gu's retaliation. I think we don't need to ask any more questions. I trust Xin'er!"

Shi Minghui nodded: "Based on what happened to the comrades in the brigade before, Aunt Gu is indeed very likely to do these things, and that cannot be denied."

"Yes, I also believe in Dr. Ye. He's a miracle worker. My child had a fever before, and after seeing Dr. Ye and taking a few doses of Chinese medicine, he felt much better after a good night's sleep."

"That's right! Old Chen's husband in the back hill had a strange fever and chills that the commune clinic's medicine couldn't suppress. Doctor Ye carried his homemade herbal medicine box, mixed bupleurum with stove ash, and pulled him back from the brink of death."

“My son, Tiger, got measles, and his little face was burning red. Dr. Ye prepared the medicine by the light of a kerosene lamp, using honeysuckle vines and reed roots that he had picked from the wild. The medicine pot was bubbling away, and the whole room was filled with the aroma of the medicine. After drinking it, the child sweated profusely, and the next day he was able to chase after chickens.”

"My wife was so shocked by the cold water that she couldn't get out of bed. We went to see Dr. Ye, who treated her with acupuncture, foot baths with mugwort, and brown sugar and ginger from the commune. He managed to get her back in shape and she could go back to planting rice in the fields!"

Everyone chimed in, siding with Ye Nian'an.

Ye Nian'an has been working as a barefoot doctor in the village for over a year, during which time he has treated many patients and encountered some difficult and complicated cases.

Fortunately, Ye Nian'an was exceptionally talented, and he also had the notes left by his maternal grandfather and the spiritual spring space.

Finding the root cause of a patient's illness and treating it accordingly naturally leads to greater success with less effort, earning the gratitude of countless people.

These reputations were built up bit by bit by Ye Nian'an during his time as a barefoot doctor, and they cannot be slandered by others!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Gu's faces grew increasingly grim, and they were now on the verge of being caught in a dilemma.

Just then, the child being led by Aunt Zhang provided a crucial assist: "Aunt Gu just told my grandma! It's exactly the same thing Teacher Xin'er said!"

Aunt Gu instantly became agitated and said fiercely, "Hey, what nonsense are you spouting, child! I'll tear your mouth apart!"

The child was instantly terrified and burst into tears, hiding behind Aunt Zhang, and shouted defiantly, "Yes, yes! I clearly heard everything! Don't think I'm too young to know anything!"

"How dare you say that! I'll beat you to death..."

Before Aunt Gu could finish speaking...

Snap!

A crisp slap rang out!

Ye Nian'an raised her hand and slapped Aunt Gu across the face.

The latter's head was ringing from the slap, and he stared at Ye Nian'an in disbelief.

"You dare to make excuses and threaten children right in front of me? Do you think I, Ye Nian'an, am someone to be trifled with?"

"Speak! Who exactly spread the rumor that my medical skills are inadequate and that I can kill people with my medical treatment?!"
