Chapter 41 Using a borrowed knife to kill
At the clinic, the barefoot doctor watched Xia Qianqian's skillful operation and couldn't help but praise her, "Qianqian, you learn so fast!"
Xia Qianqian was a little embarrassed by the praise. She smiled sweetly and said modestly, "It's all thanks to your teaching. I understood it right away. By the way, you said yesterday you were going to the city for training. Do you know when that is?"
The barefoot doctor thought for a moment and said, "I heard from the captain that it's probably at the end of the month. The training usually lasts for a week. You should study hard then, and you'll definitely be even better when you come back."
"Hmm." Xia Qianqian nodded gently, thinking to herself that the timing was just right and wouldn't interfere with anything.
Just as she was thinking about the training, the door of the clinic was pushed open, and a villager rushed in, shouting, "Something terrible has happened! Someone's foot has been cut by a sickle, and the bleeding won't stop!"
Upon hearing this, the barefoot doctor said to Xia Qianqian, "Qianqian, grab the herbs, let's hurry over!"
"Coming!" Xia Qianqian responded, ran to the medicine cabinet, and grabbed the hemostatic herbs. The barefoot doctor was not idle either, and took gauze and medicine. The two of them ran towards the ridge of the field.
On the ridge of the field, the injured old woman was wincing in pain, her forehead covered in large beads of sweat. Xia Qianqian rushed forward, steadily supporting the old woman and settling her on a flat spot. Then, together with the barefoot doctor, she tended to the old woman's wounds.
In no time, the wound was properly treated. The old woman's tense face gradually relaxed, and she praised Xia Qianqian, "Miss Xia, thank you so much. It doesn't hurt at all now."
However, at that moment, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.
"Hmph, so what if they know how to treat wounds? They're still morally corrupt!" Huang Zhaodi's voice was full of disdain and provocation.
Upon hearing this, the old woman immediately straightened her face: "Zhaodi, you can't just say things like that. How can a young lady act like a gossipy old woman, talking badly about others all day long?"
When Huang Zhaodi saw the old woman speaking up for Xia Qianqian, she became displeased and retorted loudly, "You're the one talking nonsense! If I didn't have evidence, how could I say such a thing! I, Huang Zhaodi, have always been intolerant of any wrongdoing. If Xia Qianqian hadn't done those things, how could I have said them!"
A vicious and sinister smile appeared on Huang Zhaodi's face as she deliberately raised her voice: "Xia Qianqian, you're really something, thinking you can keep this a secret forever? You have a lover in the city, how long do you plan to keep this a secret?"
Upon hearing this, the villagers who were working in the fields nearby all gathered around to watch the spectacle.
As the crowd grew larger and larger, Huang Zhaodi thought fiercely, "Today, I'm going to ruin Xia Qianqian!"
[The female lead must be careful not to fall into the trap of proving her innocence. In the village, no matter how hard you try to prove your innocence, someone will always make things worse.]
Viewers in the live chat became anxious upon seeing this, fearing that Xia Qianqian would fall into Huang Zhaodi's trap.
Xia Qianqian glanced at the comments and smiled faintly. She wasn't going to be foolish enough to try and prove herself.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Xia Qianqian pointed at Huang Zhaodi: "Everyone, look! Yesterday, her mother's affair was all over the news, and today her daughter comes here to frame me. Waaah, she's deliberately trying to ruin my reputation. How can this family be so wicked!"
As she spoke, Xia Qianqian's eyes gradually reddened, and glistening tears welled up in her eyes. The young men felt their hearts break at the sight of the beauty in tears.
They started yelling at Huang Zhaodi: "Huang Zhaodi, your mother did something shameful, and you still have the nerve to come here and frame others!"
"Exactly! With such a vicious heart, who would dare to marry you in the future!"
"Show me your evidence, or don't spout nonsense and ruin Qianqian's reputation. What are you up to!"
Xia Qianqian turned her pretty face slightly to the side and smiled mockingly at Huang Zhaodi from an angle that was hard for others to notice.
Huang Zhaodi was convinced that she could make Xia Qianqian lose face in front of everyone, but to her surprise, the villagers sided with her and spoke up for her. She was so angry that her face turned purple.
"I'm talking nonsense?!" Huang Zhaodi shouted, jumping up and down. "That person's name is Qin Yan, Xia Qianqian, do you dare to admit what your relationship with Qin Yan really is!"
Xia Qianqian was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She never expected that Huang Zhaodi would know Qin Yan's name. It seemed that someone was trying to use Huang Zhaodi as a weapon against her.
Just as she was about to speak, a car horn sounded from the village entrance.
Someone shouted, "People from the city have arrived! Let's go see!"
The villagers don't see a car even once a year, so upon hearing this, the crowd surged toward the village entrance.
Huang Zhaodi stood there, watching the crowd disperse, her lungs pounding with rage.
She had been eagerly anticipating exposing Xia Qianqian's shameful deeds in front of everyone, ruining her reputation, but her carefully prepared "big move" didn't even make a ripple.
She glared fiercely at Xia Qianqian, gritting her teeth as she said, "You just wait, I'm going to tell Brother Lu in a bit, I'll show him what kind of person you really are!"
"ah!"
Before Huang Zhaodi could finish speaking, a crisp sound rang out as Xia Qianqian's fair yet somewhat ruthless hand slapped her squarely across the face.
A burning pain shot through her face, and before she could react, Xia Qianqian quickly pulled her hand behind her back.
Huang Zhaodi gasped in pain, about to scream, when she saw Xia Qianqian had wrapped a dark cow dung ball in a bright green leaf and was threatening her with a cold expression: "If you don't want me to stuff this cow dung into your mouth, you'd better shut up!"
“You…” Huang Zhaodi’s eyes widened. She never expected that Xia Qianqian, who seemed so weak and easily bullied, would use such a ruthless trick.
The thought of having cow dung stuffed into her mouth made her stomach churn, and she swallowed back the scream that was about to come out.
Seeing that Huang Zhaodi had calmed down, Xia Qianqian asked coldly, "Tell me, who told you all this?"
Looking at that lump of cow dung, Huang Zhaodi confessed Wang Xueying without a second thought.
It was her.
Xia Qianqian didn't expect that these two would get involved together. Thinking about it, it makes sense. If they were closer to her, they would know that Qin Yan and she were already a thing of the past. Why would they be so foolish as to use this trick?
Thinking of this, she let go of Huang Zhaodi, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Qin Yan walking towards her.
