Chapter 238: Scold back
Chapter 238: Scold back
It was already noon when we arrived at Xinghua Village, and we could see wisps of smoke rising into the sky from afar.
There are still many people sitting by the fire in the yard of the village chief's house, most of them are elderly people. Their families don't need them to cook, so they just sit by the fire and chat. They will go back home only when the meal is ready.
Among the crowd, Song Ying spotted Li at a glance. Before she could speak, many people heard the sound of the carriage, turned around, and saw her leaning out of the window.
"Oh, Song Ying is back! And he came back in a carriage. It seems that he made a lot of money as a doctor."
The first to speak was Aunt Liu, her face full of jealousy, "Song Ying, you must not forget your roots. We are your uncles and aunts who have watched you grow up. When you come to see a doctor in the future, you must not charge money."
Song Ying: “…”
She rolled her eyes and wanted to retort immediately, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she remembered that her master and senior brothers were beside her. It would be bad if they thought she was sarcastic and mean to her fellow villagers.
Thinking of this, Song Ying had to pretend that he didn't hear anything and greeted Li: "Grandma."
Mrs. Li said "hmm" with a serious face. Before she could say anything, Aunt Meihua exclaimed, "You really think you are a doctor! I thought Liu Daju and the others made it up.
Oh my, a girl can be a doctor, it's really rare! Aunt Li, you will enjoy the blessing of your granddaughter in the future!"
Speaking of the latter part, Aunt Meihua felt very uncomfortable. If it were in the past, when Song Ying became capable, she would feel jealous, but she would also be sincerely happy for her.
It was a happy thing for them that a doctor had emerged among the villagers. In the future, whenever they had a headache or a fever, they would go to her for treatment. For the sake of their fellow villagers, although she could not be as shameless as Liu Daju and not charge any fees, she could waive the consultation fee.
However, after what happened before, she felt bad no matter how she thought about it, and she instigated her daughter to keep the money to herself. After being discovered, she refused to repent and even encouraged her daughter to share the money in front of everyone.
How could she not resent such a person? Now her daughter had to keep a large portion of the money she earned from digging herbs.
Now, those who are hated by the whole village not only do not have a miserable fate, but their fate is getting better and better, and they are likely to become city dwellers.
There were more than one person who shared the same idea as Aunt Meihua. Almost as soon as she finished speaking, someone would respond in a sarcastic tone, "That's right. When Song Ying finishes his studies, he'll open a clinic in the city. He'll be a city dweller in the future, so he won't look down on us peasants."
"Humph, who cares about being looked up to by her? I don't care about people like her who are restless! How can a girl be a doctor? She touches men all the time. I want to see if she can get married in the future!"
Li's expression, which had just relaxed somewhat, suddenly tensed up because of Aunt Meihua's words.
Song Ying gritted his teeth and wanted to curse back!
"Just go ahead if you want to." Doctor Lin's indifferent voice came from behind.
Song Ying was a little surprised, and subconsciously turned back to explain, "I didn't think..."
Before he could finish his defense, Lin Wenxuan said, "We heard you grinding your teeth."
Song Ying: “…”
While she was embarrassed, Doctor Lin spoke again: "How can you repay kindness when you repay evil with kindness?"
Song Ying was stunned. She had never expected her master to say that. In her impression, both her grandmother, Mrs. Li, and other adults in the village said that children should not talk back to adults.
No matter whether the adults are right or wrong, they cannot say anything and must listen obediently.
Of course, this rule is actually only followed by girls, because the boys are rebellious and will not follow it.
Song Ying felt that he had gotten to know his master better, and, well, liked him even more.
She turned around and stuck her head out of the car window again: "Aunt Wang, the doctor touched you all over when you went to see the doctor. Shouldn't Uncle Luo divorce you?"
The chattering aunties and grandmas suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Wang, their eyes filled with inquiry and a little excitement.
Wang's face turned pale, and she stood up suddenly, shaking with anger: "Bullshit! When did the doctor touch me? You are full of shit!"
"When you go to see a doctor, doesn't the doctor feel your pulse? Doesn't the doctor observe, smell, ask and palpate?"
Hearing this, Wang was obviously a little more relaxed, not so tense, but still very angry: "That's a medical consultation. Everyone should let the doctor feel their pulse. You are so young and you have learned to make up rumors and cause trouble!"
Song Ying smiled slightly: "I learned this from you. I treat patients and you say I touch them all over. How come when you go to the doctor for treatment, you are not touched all over?"
Wang opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Song Ying continued, "In recent years, in order to have a child, you not only often see doctors, but also often seek out Taoist priests and monks to preach. Taoist priests and monks are all men, and you flirt with them."
"You...you..." Wang was so angry that she fell backwards and almost suffocated.
Li pulled out a burning piece of wood from the fire and was about to come over to hit Song Ying, "You damned woman, what did I teach you? You dare to say anything. Aren't you ashamed?"
Song Ying was lying on the window of the carriage, motionless. When Li was about to rush over, he said lightly, "This is the Shen family's carriage. If it's damaged, you have to pay for it."
Li's pace slowed down, and after taking two more steps, he stood still, pointing the burning wood at Song Ying: "Get down from here, or I'll kill you today and I won't be called Li!
What is the Shenfu Palace? Even if the king of heaven comes, he can’t control how I educate my granddaughter…”
Although her words were harsh, she did not move forward a single step. It was obvious that she was afraid of damaging the carriage and having to pay for it, and she was also afraid of offending the Shen family.
Song Ying just treated her insults as wind passing by his ears, and completely ignored them.
She looked at the aunties and sisters around the fire and said coldly, "If anyone dares to say that I am unfaithful to women by treating patients, then I will go and spread the word that you are also unfaithful to women by seeing male doctors for treatment!"
The aunts and sisters looked at each other for a long time. Finally, it was Aunt Meihua who was always straightforward and spoke first: "You are such a hot-tempered girl. Your Aunt Wang only said a few words for your own good. In a few years, you will find a husband. What will they think when they hear that you are showing up in the clinic every day?"
"Don't worry about my affairs, Auntie. I'm in the clinic and I'm in the spotlight. Then you guys shouldn't go to the county town in the future. There are so many people in the streets. If you're in the spotlight, be careful that your in-laws will divorce you."
Aunt Meihua was annoyed. "How can you be so ungrateful, girl? You are just like what your grandmother said, you are an ungrateful person!"
"How am I an ungrateful person? Whenever I go out to work, I buy meat and vegetables for my grandma during the holidays. Last time, when I couldn't come back for my birthday, I asked Yan Xing to bring back some meat. How am I an ungrateful person?"
