Chapter 133: Creating Rumors
After the couple returned to the village, they completed everything the young doctor had instructed them to do. Soon the rumor that the little miracle doctor had contracted a strange disease reached the ears of my aunt and her daughter.
However, Gu Mingyue was afraid that the young doctor would do something cunning, so she insisted on going to the mountain to check on him, but was stopped by Yang.
"You silly girl, don't go. If you go, the virus will infect the whole village. If the village chief gets angry and drives us all away, where will we live?"
"Mother, I can't rest assured until I see him. He is a doctor. What if he deceives us? Besides, that girl and her husband are good friends with the little doctor. If they collude to deceive us, we will be in trouble."
"Listen to me first and wait a while before you go. Although we are not far from his mountain, if he really has an infectious disease, you have to be careful. Although I like his medical skills and want him to make more money for our family, if he is a sickly person, then forget it. My aunt is planning another suitable person for you."
Gu Mingyue seemed to have recognized the little miracle doctor.
She had already thought that Gu Mingyue would not give up so easily, so she helped Xiaoshen think of another way, which would definitely make her give up.
The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. As long as it becomes more outrageous, no one will not believe it.
No matter what kind of person the little doctor is, they have to help him. After all, their child's illness still depends on the little doctor, and they must help him. As long as the little doctor's problem is solved, no matter what his future goals are, he will be grateful to the couple.
While Yang's mother and daughter were arguing about the little miracle doctor, on the other hand, the rumors in the village about the little miracle doctor's strange illness were becoming more and more bizarre.
Some people said that the disease the little doctor contracted was caused by evil creatures in the mountains, and whoever gets close to him will be unlucky; others described it vividly, saying that when they passed by the little doctor's residence at night, they could hear strange roars, as if some demons or monsters were causing trouble.
Gu Mingyue couldn't hold back her curiosity after all, and while Yang wasn't paying attention, she sneaked out of the house and ran towards the residence of the little miracle doctor on the mountain.
In order to prevent the villagers from discovering where she was going, she took a long detour to the little doctor's residence.
When she arrived at the little doctor's courtyard panting, the courtyard was silent, which made people feel very strange.
Gu Mingyue carefully pushed open the gate and called softly, "Is anyone there?" The only response she got was an empty echo.
She plucked up the courage to walk into the house, and suddenly heard a slight cough coming from the inner room.
Gu Mingyue's heart beat faster and she slowly walked towards the inner room.
Pushing open the door, she saw the young doctor lying weakly on the bed, his face as pale as paper, his lips chapped, and his forehead covered with sweat.
When the young doctor saw Gu Mingyue, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Why are you here?" The little doctor's voice was weak and hoarse.
"I...I came to see if you are really sick." Gu Mingyue said somewhat guiltily.
The young doctor smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It seems that the rumor has spread widely. You shouldn't have come. This disease is contagious."
Gu Mingyue disagreed: "I don't believe it. You are a doctor, can't you even cure your own illness? Are you pretending to be sick to avoid me and my mother?"
The little doctor sighed helplessly: "Why should I joke with my own body? This disease is indeed difficult to treat. I am also trying to find a cure. You should leave quickly, and don't let me infect you."
Gu Mingyue was still thinking about staying to take care of him, but a familiar voice came from the yard.
"Get out of here right now, girl. Come home with me. It will be terrible if your father and your grandmother find out. If the virus spreads back to us, we will all be finished."
Gu Mingyue walked out and saw that it was indeed A Niang. She didn't expect that A Niang was so smart and came so quickly.
"Mother, let's not talk about whether his disease is contagious or not. But he has become like this now, and I am about to become his wife. I can't leave him alone. I have to take care of him. Otherwise, you should go back." Gu Mingyue insisted.
In fact, Gu Mingyue is also very smart. She thinks this small business must be planning something, and she wants to stay for a while to see what happens.
But Yang would never let her daughter take this risk. After all, she only had this one daughter. If something happened to her, how would their family survive?
The young doctor is feeling very uncomfortable now and doesn't care what the mother and daughter at the door are thinking.
Yang family. He couldn't do anything about his daughter's thoughts, but he wouldn't let her stay here. The longer she stayed here, the more likely someone would find out and alert the village chief, who had long disliked their family.
When the time comes, the village chief will get angry and drive the whole family out, and they will have to wander around and beg on the streets.
Yang was extremely anxious. She rushed into the house in two steps and grabbed Gu Mingyue's arm with such force that she almost crushed her arm. "You silly girl, why don't you come with me!" Her voice trembled a little, and her usual shrewdness and strength turned into worry for her daughter.
Gu Mingyue struggled desperately, her eyes full of unwillingness: "Mother, I won't leave! Just let me stay and take care of him, maybe I can help."
"Help? How can you help? You are just causing trouble!" Yang was so angry that her eyes were red. "If you are really infected with this strange disease, how will your father and I survive? What will happen to our family?"
The mother and daughter were pulling and arguing in the house, and their voices echoed in the small room. The young doctor was lying on the bed, listening to all this, with mixed feelings.
Is this girl sincere or has she realized that she is cheating or has she some other purpose?
But there was no way for him to turn back. After all, if he was pretending to be sick, he had to act more realistically, so as not to be found out and become embarrassed. As long as he could get through this crisis, he could leave this place and come back when everything was calm.
So he endured the pain and itchiness on his body and said to the mother and daughter: "You should all go back, so as not to be implicated by me. My disease is contagious. I am a doctor myself, so I know exactly what disease I have. I don't want to implicate anyone. You should leave quickly."
Yang also saw the symptoms of the young doctor clearly. He was sure that the young doctor would not be able to be cured. He could not find a son-in-law with such medical records, so he decided to give up his relationship with the young doctor.
The mother and daughter of the Yang family had not returned yet when the village chief brought people here.
Originally, the little doctor and the village chief thought of this matter together, so of course they knew what was going on.
However, he had already guessed that the mother and daughter would not let it go. But when he brought his men to the little doctor's house and saw the mother and daughter in the yard, he had already guessed what was going on.
But they had to act out the whole play, so when they saw the mother and daughter, everyone pretended to be very scared. After all, the mother and daughter must have accepted the business, and regardless of whether they would be infected or not, they probably couldn't go back to the village.
Naturally, Mrs. Yang was afraid that the young miracle doctor would bring harm to their family, so when she saw the village chief coming, she treated him like a savior.
"Village chief, we have nothing to do with this little doctor. My daughter only came to see him out of friendship. We can go back. There shouldn't be any problem. As for the little doctor's problem, he can solve it himself. Isn't he a doctor himself?"
But the village chief wanted to scare the mother and daughter to prevent them from being too arrogant in their comments and wanting to bully anyone they caught.
The village chief thought for a moment and said, "You have been with the little doctor for such a long time, you might have been infected. Why don't you stay here and don't go back to the village. If you are infected, we will be in trouble."
As the village chief finished speaking, the villagers he brought with him also echoed him.
"Yes, we should be prepared for the worst. If you guys infect us, we will be in trouble. You don't want everyone in this village to get the little doctor's disease, do you?"
Yang was completely dumbfounded. It was over, it was completely over this time. She couldn't go back after this trip.
When Gu Mingyue heard what the village chief said, she immediately knelt down.
She sobbed softly and said, "Village Chief, please don't. I can't get used to living in this thatched house. Besides, there's nothing between him and me. If I stay with him, gossip will spread. I'd better go back with my mother."
One villager disagrees.
He reminded the village chief.
"Village chief, your daughter Anniu is getting married soon. If the mother and daughter go back and ruin Aniu's marriage, and the family doesn't want Anniu, then your daughter will have to wait for a while before she can get married. Anniu's health is not very good, and she was cured by a little miracle doctor some time ago. Village chief, you must not lose more than you gain."
After being reminded, the village chief remembered that his daughter's matter was more important and he couldn't let the mother and daughter go back and ruin his daughter's life. If that family knew about this good thing, and something big happened in our village, they would definitely be taboo and would not want their own daughter, which would be terrible.
Upon hearing this, Yang panicked instantly. Her legs softened and she knelt down with Gu Mingyue, begging with tears in her eyes, "Village Chief, please be kind. We know we were wrong and will never do it again. We promise that we will stay indoors after we go back and will never disturb anyone, let alone affect Anniu's marriage. Please let us go back."
Gu Mingyue also cried bitterly, "Village Chief, I will behave myself in the future and never act willfully again. Please forgive us this time."
The village chief looked at the mother and daughter kneeling on the ground begging desperately, and sneered in his heart, but his face was still serious.
He deliberately kept silent for a while, letting the fear and despair of the mother and daughter spread, and then he slowly said: "You said you would promise, so who can trust you? This concerns the safety of the entire village, and my daughter's lifelong event, so there is no room for carelessness."
The village chief also knew that even if he agreed, no one else in the village would agree to let the mother and daughter go back.
Seeing that this group of people disagreed, Yang immediately jumped up in anger.
"What on earth do you mean? As a mother, I am just worried about my daughter's safety. I came to see her without any contact with that sickly guy. If I knew he would become like this, I would never let my daughter marry him. Besides, my daughter hasn't married him yet. I just think he is my son-in-law, and the rest of our family hasn't agreed yet."
"Sister-in-law Gu, please stop talking. We have lived together for so long and we all know what kind of person you are. Don't look for trouble. If you go back and infect the disease, we will not be able to survive. We all have elderly parents and young children to take care of."
The village chief thought that these villagers were good-looking, so the mother and daughter should not go back for the time being. As for the people in the village, he, as the head of the village, could still settle them down.
But how could this mother and daughter let this go?
They already had an idea in mind.
Since they are not allowed to go back, just let them go back secretly. It has nothing to do with them whether it is contagious or not. It's their fault for not letting me go back.
The villagers reminded the village chief.
"Village chief, let's go back quickly. In the next two days, find an auspicious day for your daughter and marry her off first, so that she won't have to endure the tears of these mother and daughter. We can't just stand here and watch them. If they run back, it will be terrible."
But the villagers didn't care about all that. If the mother and daughter wanted to run back, they could just drive her away. They couldn't harm other people in the village. The village chief didn't have the time to care about other people. He had to deal with his own daughter's affairs first.
After returning home, the village chief discussed with his wife and decided to quickly find an auspicious day to marry his daughter off.
It would be terrible if I got implicated.
When the village chief's wife heard this, she immediately ran to the Gu family's main house.
He scolded Old Mrs. Gu again.
"Your family is really a disaster. If I had known, I would have asked my old man to find a few people to drive you out of Gujia Village. You don't deserve to stay in this village. They say that the little miracle doctor has an infectious disease, and you are told to have less contact with him, but your two disasters actually ran to the mountain to see a doctor. What have they done? They can't come back. I tell you, don't let them come back secretly. If I find out that they come back secretly, I will definitely not forgive them."
When the old lady of the Gu family heard this, she immediately agreed.
She knew that her eldest daughter-in-law would definitely cause trouble and would not be quiet for two days.
So she said this to the village chief's wife.
"Don't worry, sister. My wife is the boss and will never let them come back. We will not go to the mountain to find out what is going on. When this matter is settled, we will find a chance to divorce this daughter-in-law and let her go back to her parents' home. If we let this daughter-in-law stay in our house, I guess our family will not be at peace. I am old and just want to live a peaceful life."
After hearing such a guarantee, the village head’s wife felt relieved.
