A perfectly good young woman was truly ruined by those damned womanizers.
"Aunties, ladies, and sisters-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Su family girl, it's good that you've been rescued. As long as you're alive, that's all that matters. Let bygones be bygones and forget about the bad things."
"Yes, yes, as long as everyone is alright, that's all that matters."
"Take these dishes home and eat them, and take good care of your health."
"When you come back, I'll find you a good match, someone you can settle down with..."
Su Ruanruan: ……
"Thank you all for your concern. I'm really fine, Auntie. I have a bad reputation, so please don't worry about me. Don't push that good young man into this fire pit."
The old woman glared at her and said, "What do you mean by bad reputation? In my opinion, it's the people in Maoshan Village who are wicked and have ruined your reputation like this."
Some people echoed this sentiment.
"That's right, we all watched your mother grow up. With such a good character, how could you be any worse?"
Oh, your mother was so young, and she was ruined by your grandmother's family until she passed away. Now they're bullying you again..."
Su Ruanruan shook her head, her voice choked with emotion, "I'm fine. I was too weak before. I will grow up slowly and won't let them bully me anymore."
“That’s the right way to think. If you’re not comfortable living in that village, just come here. Our village may be poor, but we’ll never let you two go hungry.”
There was sympathy and smiles on everyone's faces, but more than anything, there was sincerity. A warm feeling washed over Su Ruanruan; she had never felt such kindness before.
Previously, the original owner's family rarely came to Daohua Village. Firstly, the original owner's mother did not want her brother's family to worry about her. Moreover, their family was also struggling financially, and knowing that she was not doing well would only add to their troubles.
Secondly, Granny Wang forbade them from going to Daohua Village and would even drive away the Duan couple who came to visit her sister, insulting them as poor devils. She wanted to sever their ties so she could better control the second son's family.
Therefore, the original owner did not actually feel the scene today; it was he who was truly moved.
In her previous life, she had seen many people who lived behind masks. They were extremely hypocritical and had no sincerity whatsoever. They said one thing to your face and another behind your back.
I'm so tired.
A deep emotion welled up inside me, and tears instantly welled up in the corners of my eyes.
"Why is the child crying? It's all over now. Hurry up and go. Your uncle went out early this morning to ask about you, and he probably got separated from you again..."
Su Ruanruan took a shortcut along the mountain road, which is why she got separated from her uncle. However, since she was walking so slowly, her uncle probably figured that if he couldn't find her in Maoshan Village, he would be back soon.
Su Ruanruan accepted the gifts and thanked them one by one.
"I'll be going now. If any of you have a sick person in your family, remember to come to my uncle's house to find me."
"Well, Su girl, you know what, the prescription from that doctor in your village really works."
“Yes, Uncle Gu is a very good doctor, but he’s never home. So let’s do what we used to do: if anyone has a patient, just call me and I’ll go take a look, write down the symptoms, and then tell them what to prescribe later.”
"Ruanruan, I never expected that you would go to the city and learn to read and write. You are much better than us."
“But we won’t prescribe medicine for free. If you never charge us, how can we possibly trouble you again? Not only will you owe us a favor, but doctors also have families to support. This time, we absolutely have to accept your payment.”
Su Ruanruan originally just wanted to show some goodwill, because it's really not easy for villagers to make money.
When you get sick, you can tough it out for minor illnesses, but for major illnesses, you just have to wait to die.
If you're really feeling unwell, you have to call a doctor. Besides the consultation fee, there's also the cost of medicine, which is never a small expense.
Good deeds bring good results. She had only meant well and didn't want to accept their money at all.
Su Ruanruan touched her nose, deciding to lay her cards on the table.
"Actually... this prescription wasn't written by Uncle Gu, it was written by me. I grew up playing with his son, and I learned a lot from him through observation and experience..."
"I was afraid that people wouldn't believe me, so I said it was run by Uncle Gu... It's my fault for lying to everyone."
The people froze instantly, their smiles freezing on their faces, and they looked at each other.
Su Ruanruan bit her lip. She needed to find a reason for her medical skills, right? Otherwise, if Gu Ji and his father really came here for treatment, she would be exposed.
Fortunately, the original owner did have some basic knowledge, all of which she learned from Gu Ji.
But looking at everyone's expressions now, Su Ruanruan felt a little scared.
It's understandable that they don't believe her; who would entrust their life to someone who is nobody?
They're lucky they don't criticize her for treating human life like a joke.
Su Ruanruan felt the basket in her hands getting hot.
Just as I felt a chill run down my spine, I heard a hearty laugh from the other side.
"That's wonderful."
"Who says otherwise? We're in luck now."
Su Ruanruan: ……
? ?
"Su family girl, it's so good that you know some medical skills. It will be much more convenient for us if we have a headache or fever in the future."
"Yes, yes, the doctors in the county and town are too expensive, and the itinerant doctors are all men. We women are too embarrassed to talk about our discomforts, and in the end, we are the ones who suffer. From now on, we can count on you."
"You don't blame me for lying to you?"
"It's no trouble at all. You meant well. Besides, when we took your prescription to get the medicine, they didn't say it was wrong. The herbs in the prescription are all effective yet inexpensive, so it didn't cost us much in total."
“You’ve put our interests first, so how could we do something like betraying us after we’ve served our purpose?”
Su Ruanruan smiled sweetly as her medical skills were recognized for the first time.
"I'll go to my uncle's house first. If any of you feel unwell later, remember to come find me."
"Go quickly."
