Chapter 62 Returning to the Village
Even Guan Lizheng didn't expect that Sun Yin would actually leave without any hesitation.
Watching the oxcart disappear into the distance, Guan Lizheng couldn't help but ask, "For the sake of a wicked woman, they're willing to turn against our village? Lotus Village has truly lost its mind!"
The man next to him looked at the oxcart, then at Guan Lizheng. "Lizheng, forget about her. What do we do now?" With the people from Lianhua Village gone, someone needs to fill the vacant spot, and there are many things they haven't figured out yet.
Guan Lizheng glanced at him and pounded the ground a few times. "Just do what needs to be done. Can't we do without them?"
The man lowered his head and murmured, "It's not impossible, it's just very difficult..."
Guan Lizheng was old, but his hearing was still very good. He was so angry that he raised his cane to hit the man, who was so frightened that he immediately ran away.
The weather was gloomy, with no sunlight and only a faint yellow hue on the horizon.
The oxcart traveled along the muddy road, and the driver, looking at the sunset on the horizon, couldn't help but speed up.
Sun Yin noticed Sun Qian's anxiety and said, "Don't worry, safety is the most important thing." Then, he looked at the people sitting in the oxcart and then at Lin Zhaodi, and said, "You don't need to worry. I've met your uncle. As long as Guanshi Village doesn't cause any trouble, he will recover in two days."
Lin Zhaodi sat with her knees drawn up to her chest. Hearing Sun Yin's words, she slightly raised her head, her eyes still moist, and softly replied, "Okay~"
Looking at her, Wan Qiqi felt that Lin Zhaodi looked like a frightened kitten.
She was the one who just went through the danger, but now she feels that the other person is even more scared than her. Was this girl scared out of her wits back then?
Wan Qiqi nudged Chen Yongliang beside her, signaling him to go and comfort him.
Startled by the collision, Chen Yongliang looked bewildered. "Sister-in-law, what happened to your eyes?"
Wan Qiqi sighed, looking troubled. She wondered how there could be such a straight man. And how could Lin Zhaodi have fallen for this incredibly straight man?
She sighed deeply at this.
Sun Yin thought she was sighing because of what happened today, and comforted her, "Qiqi, we also discussed leaving a couple of days ago. The county government should have given the order, but we didn't want to put Chen Lizheng in a difficult position. Since they've done this, we don't need to swallow our anger!"
Wan Qiqi was deeply moved. This person, who had no relatives or friends with her, was still willing to believe in her and stand by her side, even speaking up for her, after what she had done in the past. "Uncle Sun, thank you!"
Sun Yin was overjoyed when he heard her call him "Uncle Sun," but he wished Wan Qiqi would call him "Master," though that was unlikely.
He really wanted to take Wan Qiqi as his apprentice and have her follow him, but he also understood her and approved of her choice.
Looking at Sun Yin, Wan Qiqi thought of her father in modern times. She wondered if her father would search the world for her after she transmigrated, or if another soul would reside in her body, accompanying her father in her place.
In my memory, my father was the same way; no matter what she did, he always chose to support her. Even when the elders in the family were urging her to get married, my father still stood on her side, believing that compatibility and affection were the most important things.
Her father was her blood relative, which was why he acted this way, but Sun Yin was a complete stranger to her. She couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Sun, why are you speaking up for me? Aren't you worried that I'm faking it?"
Sun Yin chuckled, but his eyes softened. "I've been practicing medicine for so many years, what kind of people haven't I seen? Even if you're faking it, can you keep faking it all the time?"
Wan Qiqi didn't expect Sun Yin to answer like that, but in fact she had seen people who pretended all the time, but not in this era.
Not everyone thought so. Zhao Shitou peeked out and asked curiously, "Doctor Sun, what if you're mistaken? The Wan family before..." Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yongliang glared at him, and he stopped talking.
"Zhao Shitou, watch your mouth! What's wrong with my sister-in-law?" Chen Yongliang felt that no one here knew Wan Qiqi better than him.
Although she had been somewhat unkind in the past, treating them poorly and even taking away all the good things from the house, he felt that his sister-in-law wasn't a bad person. At least after the Chen family fell on hard times, she didn't choose to abandon everyone and leave, but instead went back to her parents' home to borrow food.
I was afraid of my sister-in-law because of her arrogant and domineering manner; she seemed very difficult to mess with. Now, my sister-in-law is not as sharp as before; she is more gentle and kind to everyone.
However, he now seems to want his sister-in-law to be more assertive so that she won't be bullied.
“We’re not just making this up, Chen’s third son, you know your sister-in-law’s reputation in the village.”
"Yes! This isn't just something we're making up. Aunt Zhao was gossiping before, but now Wang herself has admitted it..."
With just two sentences, Wan Qiqi could tell that these people's opinions of her had changed again.
Before going, I had one attitude; now, I have a different attitude.
Yang Mu sat to the side, glanced at the person who had spoken, and said calmly, "These are all her family matters, we outsiders shouldn't interfere!"
He was a man of some standing in the village. After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and no one said anything more.
As the last ray of light disappeared on the horizon, the oxcart drove into Lotus Village, and many people ran out to see what was happening.
"It looks like Physician Sun!"
"Weren't they helping out in Guanshi Village? Why are they back?"
"I don't know. Could it be that the plague in Guanshi Village has ended?"
"No way, I just heard from someone that there is still a plague in Guanshi Village. I also heard that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family harmed her nephew from her own family."
The discussions began as soon as Wan Qiqi entered the village and continued unabated, growing increasingly heated.
Sun Qian's oxcart stopped at the village square, and everyone got off to go home. Some villagers who heard the commotion came to help them.
