"hehe!"
Facing Xu Xiangling's accusation, Gu Nanzhi couldn't help but sneer, "Business? If you treat this as a business, then you don't need me to snatch it!"
"What do you mean? Gu Nanzhi, let me tell you, don't take advantage of me here and act like a good kid!"
Hearing this, Xu Xiangling said angrily, "Don't think I don't know. Many of the people who came to see you today were originally here for me. You are just stealing my business!"
Gu Nanzhi heard: "..."
How come this person doesn't understand what people say?
Where is the original heroine who was supposed to be beautiful and intelligent? Where is her intelligence?
Wasn't her words clear enough? This is not a business!
If being a village doctor is really a business, then why would she pay out of her own pocket to treat those villagers who are really in need? If she didn't sympathize with those poor villagers, she could also make a lot of money, but what is the reality?
In fact, after deducting the money she gave to her poor neighbors, she was left with some money for her work, which was barely enough to improve her family’s food!
And Xu Xiangling...
In this day and age, a few pills of levofloxacin and stomachic and digestive tablets cost only three dollars. She really dared!
Gu Nanzhi had no choice but to accept it!
"Why don't you say anything? If you don't say anything, it means you agree!"
Seeing that Gu Nanzhi remained silent, Xu Xiangling became even more arrogant, pointing at her and yelling, "You stole my business, and even deliberately lowered the price to compete with me maliciously. How dare you pretend to be so sophisticated in front of me? Gu Nanzhi, I'm telling you, if you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, I'm not done with you!"
"Who are you not done with?"
When Xie's mother heard this, she couldn't help but stepped forward to protect Gu Nanzhi behind her, and yelled, "Seeing my daughter-in-law is a village doctor, you are jealous and want to follow her. Your treatment is expensive and no one comes to you, so you blame us? You are the kind of person who can't sell ducks but give away geese!"
"Try pointing your finger at my daughter-in-law again. Do you believe I will break your finger? You are a city dweller with such upbringing..."
Xie's mother's voice was very loud. Just then, all the neighbors came back from the fields and were preparing to have dinner. When they heard the noise, they immediately rushed over to watch the fun.
"I've seen unreasonable people, but I've never seen anyone as unreasonable as you! Isn't there a gate in my backyard? You put up a sign at the door of my house, and my sister-in-law didn't say anything to you. I won't argue with you, but you're making trouble!"
Seeing this, Xie Ruyun also joined the ranks of those denouncing Xu Xiangling. She protected Gu Nanzhi behind her and started to argue with Xu Xiangling, "Do you really think our family is easy to bully? I tell you, if you want to bully my sister-in-law, you have to ask me first if I agree or not!"
“You! You guys…”
Xu Xiangling's face turned red after being scolded by the two. She looked for help at Wang Wanning and others standing at the alley, hoping that they could speak for her, but...
Wang Wanning glanced at her, lowered her head and said nothing.
She really disliked Xu Xiangling's behavior these days. Although she felt a little distressed when she saw her being besieged by the Xie family, she really couldn't help her relatives and ignore others, let alone...
She has been eating the Xie family's food these days, and she is so soft-hearted...
Normally, Wang Wanning and Xu Xiangling had the best relationship. Seeing that Wang Wanning did not move, Zhao Jie and another educated youth Jiang Ling naturally would not move either!
For a while, Xu Xiangling was alone and could not win the argument with Xie's mother and Xie Ruyun.
Seeing more and more neighbors gathering around, even the old village chief was alarmed and hid in the crowd sighing. When Gu Nanzhi was about to speak to end this farce, Old Man Xie, who had been squatting at the door of the main room smoking a pipe, knocked on his pipe and spoke.
"Stop arguing, you're making fun of yourself!"
As Father Xie spoke, he stood up and glanced at the old village chief Xie in the crowd and said, "Xu Zhiqing thinks my eldest daughter-in-law has taken your patients away. It must be because we live too close. This matter is easy to solve. You can move back to the Zhiqing site!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole courtyard fell into silence.
Not only did Xu Xiangling stand there in disbelief, even Wang Wanning looked up in shock.
"Move back to the educated youth site? Uncle Xie, are you trying to drive us away?"
Zhao Jie exclaimed in surprise.
"I don't want to chase you away, but this is the end of the matter, isn't it?"
Old Man Xie sighed and said, "The Youth League Center in the village is too small to accommodate you. At that time, the village chief found me and said that my backyard was empty and no one lived there, so why not rent it to you, which would also help the village. I thought that the backyard was empty anyway, so I rented it."
"Each person gets one and a half kilograms of food per month, half of which I rent and half of which I give away. No one can say that I charge you more, right? You don't have enough food, and you're dragging your feet on giving it to me. I haven't said anything else, but you actually bully my daughter-in-law..."
Having said that, Old Man Xie looked at Xu Xiangling with sharp eyes.
Under his gaze, Xu Xiangling shrank back.
Move out of Xie's backyard and live in the educated youth camp...
The youth cadre site was so small, and several girls had no privacy living in one room. Xu Xiangling certainly didn't want to do that!
"Uncle Xie, it was Xu Xiangling who bullied Gu Nanzhi, and it was also Xu Xiangling who owed you rent and food. If you want to chase her away, just chase her away, but don't implicate us!"
Seeing this, Zhao Jie immediately shouted, "We haven't owed you rent or food, nor have we bullied Gu Nanzhi! We have a good relationship with Gu Nanzhi, don't you agree?"
Zhao Jie said this and pushed Wang Wanning and Jiang Ling beside her.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two nodded.
"Wan Ning! You..."
When Xu Xiangling saw Wang Wanning nod, she was about to explode, but facing the scrutiny of the neighbors around her, she couldn't get angry, so she could only lower her head and cry aggrievedly, "Wuwu..."
For a moment, Xu Xiangling cried, and Zhao Jie and Jiang Ling pestered Old Man Xie to say good things.
Gu Nanzhi: “…”
Looking at the chaos here, he quietly retreated behind the crowd.
no way!
Her family is too protective and there is no place for her to use her talents!
In the end, it was the old village chief Xie who came forward to settle the matter. He spoke well of Xie's father and asked Xu Xiangling to apologize to Gu Nanzhi...
Gu Nanzhi: “…”
Looking at Xu Xiangling's insincere apology, he smiled helplessly.
Xu Xiangling didn't want to apologize, but if she didn't, Zhao Jie and Jiang Ling would catch her and scold her, saying that she was a black sheep, and she didn't want to move back to the educated youth camp...
After apology, Xu Xiangling covered her face and ran back to the backyard crying. The farce ended just like that, and the neighbors who had watched the fun went back home to eat.
But……
After a while, Xu Xiangling's deliberately suppressed noise came from the backyard...
"Wang Wanning, why don't you help me? Aren't we best friends?"
"You watched me being bullied by the Xie family, not only did you not speak up for me, but you even teamed up with Zhao Jie and the others to bully me. Do you still see me as a friend?"
“…”
On the other side of the wall, Gu Nanzhi heard the noise and smiled cunningly. She waited until the quarrel in the backyard died down and quieted down before letting Xie Jianbang deliver the meal.
