Chapter Seventy-Four: Silently
Qi Meng has been feeling down lately. After the busy farming season ended, the work in the fields became easier, and everything was fine until recently when her house started to have some bad luck, causing problems to occur every few days.
"How could there be poisonous insects? Zuo Zuo clearly hung up snake, insect, and rodent repellent packets in the house!"
Scratching her swollen, red leg, Qi Meng's voice trembled with tears.
Zuo Zuo has only been gone for two days, and the dormitory has started to have one bad luck after another. Yesterday it was wasps, today it was poisonous insects, what will it be tomorrow?
Meng Tiantian's beautiful face turned unusually gloomy as she looked at the insects that had been poisoned, constantly wondering who could have done this.
The room contained medicinal herbs that snakes, insects, and rodents dread most. Logically, there shouldn't be any of those things there, but in reality, they are.
"Someone let it in, but we don't know who it was."
The little fox chirped and circled around the two of them, sniffing the dead poisonous insects on the ground. Then, the tiny fox darted out.
"Ah Li!"
Qi Meng chased after her, and Meng Tian glanced at the poisonous insects on the ground with a serious expression before following her out.
…………………………This is the dividing line for Ahri's revenge.
Gu Zuozuo listened attentively to the old doctor's lecture, showing no sign of not paying attention even though she already knew the material.
Many things from this era—experiences and knowledge—have almost been lost in later generations.
After suffering two major blows, China has lost most of its most important heritage.
One instance was after the Japanese invasion, when they openly and secretly plundered China's cultural heritage. Another instance was around this time, when the items were looted, stolen, burned, smashed, and torn up. Some private collections were even taken away under various pretexts and secretly sold abroad.
Even though her family in her previous life tried their best to hide most of it, the losses were still severe.
"You were also an educated youth sent to the countryside? How could your village have agreed to let you be a barefoot doctor?"
The woman's gaze swept over Gu Zuozuo, who had rosy lips and white teeth and a delicate, flower-like appearance. Then she glanced at the notebook on the table in front of Gu Zuozuo, which was filled with notes. She secretly curled her lip and showed disdain. Another one with connections. She wondered how Gu Zuozuo got to her position.
Gu Zuozuo ignored the woman's question, tidied up the table, picked up her notebook, and calmly turned and left.
It's lunchtime; the food in the cafeteria should be ready by now.
As time went by, Gu Zuozuo absorbed the knowledge taught by the old doctor with great enthusiasm and never slacked off. This forced those who had only come to get a certificate to start studying diligently. If they didn't understand something, they would stop the old doctor and keep asking questions, just like Gu Zuozuo. This made the old doctor even more attentive in his teaching.
A month is neither a long nor a short time. Surprisingly, everyone in this year's barefoot doctor training class did well on the exams. Only one girl failed, while everyone else passed and obtained their barefoot doctor qualification certificates.
"Why wasn't mine included! I took the exam too!"
The woman blocked the hospital entrance, shouting incessantly in frustration, attracting countless stares.
The old doctor glanced at the woman's pale face, sighed inwardly, and began to offer earnest advice.
"Comrade Wang, you failed the exam, so there's no point in making a fuss."
As he spoke, he pointed to the other jubilant people.
"While you are eating at a state-run restaurant, they are studying hard while eating steamed buns. While you are shopping at a department store, they are still studying diligently. While you are late and leave early every day, they sit there before dawn and don't leave until dark. You reap what you sow. Have you put in the effort?"
The woman looked grim. She had given herself entirely for this spot, and now she was being told she hadn't been chosen.
What kind of exam is this? Who knows if they're making deals behind the scenes!
"I'm going to report you! You just wait!"
The old doctor, being upright and fearless, waved his hand, indicating for her to go; he wasn't afraid of being reported.
The woman pulled a stunt: she didn't report anyone else, but instead reported Gu Zuozuo for his promiscuous relationships with women.
