(Girls' Literature)
Su Zhi and the others had not expected that there was someone hiding behind the big rock behind them. They were all concerned about Liang Fu, but were startled by Sun's sudden jump out and shouting. The little maid even screamed in surprise.
Qian Guang saw that Liang Fu was not frightened and her heart ached again. He frowned and looked at Sun, thinking, isn't this the third sister-in-law of Shen Ziju? The Sun who kept praising her son and letting him take the place of the boy with stomachache on the float during the Rain Festival. If she wasn't the third sister-in-law of Shen Ziju and Shen Zian, he would have really wanted to get angry. He hated people eavesdropping on him the most. Obviously, this woman heard all their conversations just now.
Su Zhi was also extremely angry, and her usually cheerful face now looked stern.
"Third sister-in-law, what are you doing here? We are talking, why are you hiding there? Don't you know that eavesdropping on others' conversations is extremely rude?!"
Seeing Qian Guangliangfu and the little maid staring at her, Sun thought that she had come out a little too suddenly. But after hearing what Su Zhi said, she didn't think anything was wrong. Her stubbornness came back to her.
"Fourth brother's wife, how can you say that to me? I am your sister-in-law. Why should I be so secretive when I am in your house? I just walked over and said this directly. You didn't notice me, so how can you blame me? I didn't eavesdrop on your conversation. I listened openly!"
Sun said confidently that she thought since they all had their backs to her just now, no one could see whether she had just arrived or had arrived earlier.
Su Zhi was furious at her lying so righteously. She thought that this third sister-in-law was really a headache. How could she be so shameless?
"Third aunt is lying! She just came out from behind that big rock! We saw her!"
A clear and crisp child's voice said, "It was Yueyue." She ran over from the other side, her face was covered in sweat and dirt. Like a little cat, she immediately jumped to Su Zhi's side, stretched out her little hands to pull Su Zhi's clothes, and made faces at Sun.
Sun was anxious when she heard this and said, "Yueyue, you can't tell lies. How could I have come out from behind that big rock? You were so far away, how could you see clearly? If you tell lies, it will rot your mouth and it will be ugly!"
Su Zhi frowned and said, "Third sister-in-law, how can you scare a little kid like this! I believe Yueyue would not tell a lie!"
Xiaori said, "Yes, Yueyue didn't lie. She just came out from behind the big rock."
Xing'er also nodded.
Sun was stared at by several people, and she pouted and said, "I came here from the other side of the stone. They are so small that they must have thought that I came from behind the stone and hid there. It was just a misunderstanding. Oh! Why do you keep asking questions about such a trivial matter? Mr. Qian, don't you want Miss Liang to get better? I just said that my fourth brother's wife is a miracle doctor!"
Su Zhi hated Sun Shi so much that her teeth itched in her heart. She thought that Sun Shi was really hateful. She remembered her and would see how she would deal with her after the guests left!
Sun Shi felt cold at the look in Su Zhi's eyes. She was a little scared because her fourth brother's wife's eyes were like knives. But she thought again. She didn't say anything wrong this time. She couldn't do anything to herself. Humph, she must get the benefits this time. If she didn't get them, she would make Su Zhi and Shen Zi'an feel bad. She was very jealous of the good luck of the couple. If she could cause trouble for them without being so obvious, she would be happy to do it.
"Oh? Sister Shen is a miracle doctor?"
Qian Guang asked in surprise, his eyes moving away from Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. When he saw the two little wolves, he thought that they looked like wolves. He liked them. But he didn't think they were wolves, because white wolves were rare. They were holy beasts. He didn't think they would live among people, let alone holy beasts. When he heard Sun Shi say again that Su Zhi was a miracle doctor, his attention was diverted.
Seeing that Qian Guang was finally interested, Sun nodded her head and said, "Yes! My fourth sister-in-law is a great doctor. She had a serious illness and her whole body was rotten, but now you see, her skin is like a peeled egg! And my fifth brother, he had a head injury, a big cut as long as a finger! The doctor said that there would be a scar, but my fourth sister-in-law treated him and it healed in a few days. Can you see now that he had a head injury? No, right? That medicine is amazing! Also, my fourth sister-in-law can make a strange medicine. That medicine can make people who don't feel pain feel pain all over their body, and can make people who feel pain no longer feel pain..."
Sun kept talking on and on, calling Su Zhi "fourth brother's sister-in-law" and "miracle doctor" all the time, and she praised Su Zhi so much that it made people confused. If people who didn't know her heard her praising Su Zhi like this, they would really think that she and Su Zhi had a very good relationship and that she liked Su Zhi very much.
Su Zhi looked at Sun and did not stop her. She knew that this matter could not be concealed and she had never thought of hiding it. Knowing medical skills was also a good thing, which could give her more chips for survival. She had also thought about using medical skills to win over more wealthy people, so that she could live safely in this world. After all, this is a world with clear hierarchy. She wanted to be a leisurely village woman, but she had to do so many profitable businesses. It was too dangerous without a few backers to rely on. But she didn't like being yelled out by Sun. She didn't like the feeling of being calculated.
Especially now, Su Zhi felt that she was not very willing to treat Liang Fu. Being yelled at by Sun, and right after Liang Fu had just recovered from her illness, this feeling of being plotted against made Su Zhi very dissatisfied with Sun. She thought that this third sister-in-law really did not teach her a lesson harshly enough in the past. It seemed that such a person should be refused to visit in the future. However, she had to find a sufficient reason, otherwise, in this village where the folk custom still emphasizes family harmony, if she did not let her sister-in-law visit, she would still be criticized by others.
Su Zhi kept thinking about how to make sure that Sun Shi would never come to her house again. She wanted to come up with a good idea. She was really fed up with Sun Shi.
However, now is not the time to think about this, because as soon as Sun said this, Qian Guang and Liang Fu both looked at her with questioning looks in their eyes.
"Sister Zhao, can you treat illnesses?"
Liang Fu asked. She was only slightly surprised in her heart, and then she calmed down. Su Zhi could cook delicious dishes that no one else could cook, and could make beautiful dolls that she had never seen before. She was clever and smart. She would not find it strange to say that she could treat illnesses. Now, even if someone said that Su Zhi had some other extraordinary skills, she would believe it. But she still asked because Su Zhi did not say that she would take her to see her illness.
Liang Fu was still a little unhappy in her heart. She thought that if Su Zhi knew how to treat illnesses, but she didn't treat herself, did she want to watch herself being tortured by illness? However, this thought only flashed for a moment and then disappeared. She thought that Su Zhi had just told her that heart medicine needed to be treated with heart medicine, which was also a prescription for her. Moreover, Su Zhi's prescription was very correct. Thinking of this, she admired Su Zhi even more.
Su Zhi said: "If you say I can treat illnesses, I know a little bit, but I'm not very good at it."
Qian Guang said, "Just now, Third Sister Shen clearly said that you cured your own illness and that of your brother Zi Juxian, and that you can prescribe medicine. How can you say that you are not good at it?"
Qian Guang heard Sun say that Su Zhi was almost rotten, and he really couldn't imagine that. In his eyes, Su Zhi's skin could be described as white as jade and smooth as fat. Such skin must have been taken care of by friends and children. How could she have encountered such a serious disease? He really couldn't believe it, and he really felt sympathy for Su Zhi at that time, thinking about how uncomfortable she must have been.
Su Zhi said, "I just met a capable old man who taught me a few prescriptions. I used those prescriptions to cure my illness and my fifth brother's injury. Later, because the doctor in the village was interested in my medicine, I gave him some, and he taught me some medical skills such as pulse diagnosis. So I said that I only know the basics. I have just started to learn medical skills. It is really exaggerated to say that I am a miracle doctor."
Liang Fu and Qian Guang nodded, thinking that this was the case.
When Sun saw this, she immediately said, "Fourth brother's wife, you can't be too modest. You must have more than just those prescriptions. You should show them to Miss Liang. Maybe you can cure her. That would be a great deed and a blessing for you and our Shen family."
Su Zhi looked at Sun and said, "Third sister-in-law, if I were a miracle doctor, why didn't I help Zhu'er? If I had helped her, would she have stepped down from the position of Lady Rain?"
Qian Guang nodded and said, "Yes, if Sister Shen Si was a miracle doctor, she would have been there that day and would have helped Sister Shen. She has such a kind heart, we can't just ignore her."
Liang Fu said: "So you went into that room that day, Sister Zhao, to treat Sister Shen? It's a pity that you are not a miracle doctor, otherwise you would have cured her, and it wouldn't be the turn of Zhao Xiaohua to be the Rain Queen, but in the end..."
Liang Fu wanted to say that Zhao Xiaohua fell off the float, but she didn't say it out loud. This was a topic that people didn't want to talk about because it was a bad omen. After all, when the Rain Goddess fell off the float, it brought a natural disaster.
When Sun saw that Qian Guangliangfu believed that Su Zhi was not a miracle doctor, she felt unwilling. She didn't get what she wanted, and Su Zhi was not embarrassed. Moreover, she had offended Su Zhi. She didn't want to be driven out by Su Zhi. She still wanted her salary. She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea.
