Su Wenli sat in her room, her face contorted with anger. The news she had just heard infuriated her. What right did Su Xingran have? What qualifications did she have to be Doctor Huang's apprentice? She had been fooled like an idiot by Su Xingran, and now she dared to look down on her?
That bitch seems to have changed ever since she woke up from her head injury and coma. She's just as foolish and ungrateful as her parents. She's even planned to pretend to be the one who saved her life, making herself the bitch's savior. That way, she can manipulate her, coax her into doing things for her, and also trick her into getting benefits from her second uncle and aunt.
Everything was proceeding according to plan, but who knew that the bitch would wake up and ruin everything, exposing him in front of the villagers and shattering the facade he had maintained in the village.
No, she wouldn't allow those who had always been beneath her to rise above her. Her second uncle and aunt had always been treated like slaves to their family; their possessions should rightfully belong to her. Yes, even if she went to her grandparents, they certainly wouldn't want her second uncle's family to have an easy life; even if they did, they'd have to include her family.
Old Mrs. Su was still grumbling incessantly, spitting everywhere. Old Mr. Su sat silently, but his face was dark and gloomy, clearly in a bad mood. Old Mr. Su and his wife, Zhao Xiaohua, had gone to work in the fields.
Old Su and Zhao Xiaohua in the field also heard that Su Xingran had become Doctor Huang's apprentice. There was no way around it; the whole field was talking about it. Some people said that Su Xingran had recognized Doctor Huang as her master and was learning medicine from him. Given Doctor Huang's excellent medical skills, if Su Xingran studied diligently and truly mastered Doctor Huang's teachings, she would be incredibly successful. Being a doctor was a secure and stable job.
No matter who you are, whether you're an official or an ordinary citizen, everyone gets sick sometimes. When you're sick, you need to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and it costs money. If a highly skilled doctor saves a big shot, wouldn't they rise to prominence and be promoted rapidly?
Those people seemed to already envision a future where Su Lao Er's family would never have to worry about food or clothing, with servants at home and Su Lao Er and his wife lounging around with their legs crossed, enjoying themselves. They weren't blind; they had seen how someone would deliver supplies to Doctor Huang's house in a car every now and then.
The village chief and the brigade leader's polite manner towards Doctor Huang wasn't just because he was skilled in medicine and they wanted to keep him in the village as a doctor. Those without connections would end up living in cowsheds like in the village; who would believe Doctor Huang didn't have connections?
Su Laoda and Zhao Xiaohua were so angry when they heard what the villagers said that their faces turned red. Zhao Xiaohua, in particular, felt that her daughter Su Wenli was the one who was qualified to become Doctor Huang's apprentice.
That short-lived brat from the Su family doesn't deserve that. It should be their family living a good life; the Su family isn't blessed. No wonder Zhao Xiaohua and Su Wenli are mother and daughter—with their self-righteous and self-satisfied attitudes, who dares to say they aren't?
What Su Lao Da was thinking was that Su Lao Er's parents had never loved him since he was little, and everything in the house belonged to him. He was the most useful eldest son in the Su family, while Su Lao Er was nothing but a worthless bastard whom his parents didn't want. If it weren't for his grandparents taking pity on him, he might have starved to death. As long as his parents were alive, everything that belonged to that worthless bastard was his. Now this worthless bastard wanted to live a good life by relying on the worthless bastard he had given birth to, without even asking Su Lao Da's permission.
Regardless of what the people in the old house were thinking, Su Xingran slept soundly in her spatial dimension, waking up at a little after 5 p.m. She opened the red envelopes and gifts she had received at noon that day.
