She probably forgot that one of the things that made her reputation in the village was that she was efficient at her work.
Upon hearing this, Li Xingyue clenched her hands, bit her lower lip, and said with some grievance, "But, I, I really can't use my legs. Don't worry, I won't touch anything here."
There was really no other way; otherwise, I wouldn't want to trouble Comrade Bai...
These two are such an eyesore. She wanted them to leave first, but they acted like they couldn't understand her hints!
How can she continue with her plans if things continue like this!
Bai Yajing touched her chin. Now, she was curious to see what tricks the other party was up to.
"Alright, since you want to stay overnight in the clinic, then you'll be fully responsible for any loss or damage to my belongings. How about this, you just need to write me a guarantee."
The medicine here is for the villagers in the surrounding area; there can't be any mistakes. Looks like she won't be getting any sleep tonight…
Li Xingyue lowered her head, her eyes filled with anger that they couldn't see.
That brat is so difficult to deal with!
However, she only stayed one night and injured her leg. Even if something unexpected happens in the future, it's none of her business!
After thinking it through, she looked up at the three men with a pitiful expression. "Comrade Bai, do you not like me? I'm injured. Can you please have some kindness and let me stay for one night?"
If she stays tonight, she has a way to ruin her reputation!
It's okay to suffer a little now. As long as the outcome is good, that's all that matters.
The two aunties were looking at her strangely now.
They are not ordinary rural women who lack any judgment.
I used to think she was a good person because she was well-behaved, but I never expected that they could be wrong about her!
Both women looked at Bai Yajing, signaling her not to agree. At worst, they would just drag the person away!
Bai Yajing received the hint and shook her head slightly. This person had been hiding for so long, and now that they had finally shown their true colors, she didn't want them to retreat again!
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the clinic? Are you deaf? It's just a guarantee. If you don't have bad intentions or feel guilty, there's nothing wrong with writing one."
"I'll check it tomorrow and make sure there's no problem, then I'll tear it up in front of you. That's how it's done here. You can ask the two aunties if you don't believe me."
This rule was set by my grandmother because of an accident that happened before.
Twenty years ago, a man from out of town was seriously injured. My grandmother asked him to go to town, but he refused. My grandmother kindly invited him to rest at the clinic that night, but he was greedy and stole some medicine and money before running away. No one could find him.
Everyone knows this.
The two aunties nodded quickly, and fearing that Li Xingyue wouldn't believe them, they recounted what happened back then.
Li Xingyue secretly curled her lip. What kind of ridiculous rule is this? Only these bumpkins would abide by it!
However, she still had to stay. She promised to write!
She refused to believe that Bai Yajing could see through her tricks, after all, she was just a barefoot doctor from the countryside! Barefoot doctors' medical skills are not systematically learned, they are very superficial!
"Okay, I'll write it down. Comrade Bai, could you lend me a pen and paper?"
Bai Yajing generously handed her a pen and paper.
After she finished writing, the two aunties, still worried, signed their names on it together.
"Since Jing is alright, we'll head back now. Your nephews are still waiting at home."
Bai Yajing smiled and saw the two off.
Once she was sure the person inside couldn't hear her anymore, Aunt Wang spoke up and warned, "Jing, that woman is suspicious. Be careful."
"Don't worry, Aunt Wang, I'll come and keep watch tonight. If anything happens, I'll call you over."
If you're going to catch her, catch her red-handed. Have her uncle come and keep her company too. That way, one of them can keep watch for the first half of the night, and the other for the second half, so they can get some sleep.
"Okay, as long as you know what I mean."
