Looking at the villagers anxiously surrounding him with questions, Old Zhang sighed, "Everyone, I’m sorry, I’m not a veterinarian. I can only see that the problem with these pigs is related to their digestive system, but I can’t pinpoint the exact cause."
Old Zhang’s medical skills were just average, and usually, he dealt with minor common illnesses for the villagers.
If there were any major issues, he would advise everyone to go to the county hospital.
Now, treating pigs across professions, it’s normal for him not to figure it out.
However, the villagers couldn’t quite accept this result.
"Oh no, even Old Zhang can’t figure it out. What should we do?"
"Yes, these pigs don’t seem right. I’m afraid they’ll die if not treated soon."
"Our village doesn’t have a veterinarian, neither does the town. I heard that Xi Hai County next door has one."
"Then we have to go get them quickly."
"A Zhou, you should go call them." Old Gu knew the issue stemmed from his daughter-in-law, so it had to be their family to resolve it.
He immediately told the third son, Gu Yunzhou, to go to Xi Hai County to get a veterinarian.
Just then, a female voice suddenly rang out.
"No need to go, I can treat them."
The crowd was initially stunned, and then looked in the direction of the sound.
As they recognized who it was, that clear and pleasant voice suddenly seemed jarring to them.
Upon recognizing the person, Qin Zhaodi was delighted and immediately stepped forward.
"Ning girl, what are you stirring up now? Even Old Zhang can’t figure it out, and you think you can treat it? Just because you studied for two years in technical school, you think you’re a Divine Doctor."
"You’re even stopping people from going to get a vet. What, you just want to watch these pigs die?"
"Then I’m curious, how exactly did these pigs get into trouble?"
Qin Zhaodi’s words were suggestive; people who didn’t know might think the Gu Family member wanted to kill the pigs.
"Exactly, Gu Jia Ning, are you stalling for time so these pigs will die?" Zhao Weihong, who was already jealous of Gu Jia Ning, also stepped forward on Qin Zhaodi’s side.
The villagers followed suit one by one.
"Yeah, what’s the Old Gu Family up to, do you really want to watch these pigs die?"
"Ning girl, we know you’re a top student from technical school, but studying and actually treating diseases aren’t the same."
"Village chief, we’d better have Zhou boy go get a vet. We can’t let Ning girl mess around like this."
Gu Jia Ning did indeed study medical nursing in a technical school and was a top student in the village, but they had never heard of her treating anyone.
Plus, Gu Jia Ning had caused trouble in the village before.
In the villagers’ minds, Gu Jia Ning was unreliable, which is why they sided with Qin Zhaodi.
"Qin Zhaodi, you’re full of crap, do you want my daughter dead?"
Yao Chunhua shouted, lunging at Qin Zhaodi, slapping her across the face.
"Ah, Yao Chunhua, you hit me!"
"So what if I hit you, for saying that about my daughter? My daughter kindly wants to treat the pigs, and you’re smearing her, watch me slap you to death."
The daughter is Yao Chunhua’s treasure, no one can speak ill of her daughter.
Yao Chunhua thought her daughter surely wanted to treat these pigs for her sake.
At first, her daughter was scared and hid behind her.
Her daughter was so brave to stand up, all for her mother.
Her daughter was so kind, how could others slander her like that.
Seeing Yao Chunhua and Qin Zhaodi about to start a fight, the villagers quickly tried to stop them.
Qin Zhaodi continued to rant, "Yao Chunhua, you want your daughter to treat them, but what if the pigs die, can you compensate?"
"Then compensate!" Yao Chunhua gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Fine, then let her try."
Qin Zhaodi stopped fighting, crossing her arms and looking on as if watching a show.
Yao Chunhua, snapping back to reality, realized she had agreed with Qin Zhaodi’s challenge, but she did not regret it.
She turned to Gu Jia Ning and said, "Ningning, just go ahead and treat them, I’m here for you."
"Ningning, we’re here too."
The other Gu Family members also offered support, especially Old Gu, who stepped forward and patted his daughter’s shoulder, "Ningning, if you’re confident, give it a try. Don’t worry, I’m here no matter what happens."
Gu Yunan and Gu Yunzhou also looked at Gu Jia Ning with full encouragement in their eyes.
The Gu Family’s stance was clear: go ahead and treat, family will always back you up.
Seeing her family placing so much trust in her and always having her back, Gu Jia Ning felt a pang in her heart.
Thinking of her past foolishness and naivety, Gu Jia Ning felt even more guilty; she would never let it happen again in this lifetime.
This time, family was her reverse scale, she wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt them.
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Gu Jia Ning resolutely entered the pigsty.
Gu Jia Ning loved cleanliness the most, and her mother would often clean and wash the pigsty.
But no matter how much cleaning and washing was done, it was still a place for pigs, especially with these pigs having diarrhea now, the ground was dotted with yellow and bloody excrement.
Gu Jia Ning frowned.
But perhaps because she’d encountered this situation in the Divine Doctor Space, Gu Jia Ning remained calm.
If it were before, she might not have even taken a step in.
As Gu Jia Ning’s mother, Yao Chunhua knew her daughter’s preference for cleanliness.
Now, she walked in alongside her daughter, helping to ensure her daughter didn’t get dirty in the pigsty.
That Gu Jia Ning dared to enter the pigsty surprised the villagers.
After all, Gu Jia Ning was famous in Huaihua Village; initially famous for her beauty, with her charming, pure yet alluring look, unrivaled even in the city.
Later, she became known for her delicate and fussy temperament.
Being so delicate yet somewhat dramatic, Gu Jia Ning attracted a lot of young men.
But those in-laws were not fond of her, as she couldn’t do heavy labor and had many opinions, drawing men to listen to her. Such a daughter-in-law was not welcomed by elders.
The pigsty seemed out of place with Gu Jia Ning’s image.
Yet now, Gu Jia Ning resolutely went in.
Undoubtedly, it changed the villagers’ perceptions a bit.
Wen Zhqing, standing among the crowd, frowned slightly as he looked at the girl in the pigsty, his mind filled with thoughts.
"Hmph, so what if she went in. As if she could really cure these pigs. It’s just a waste of time," Zhao Weihong sneered, murmuring a few words.
Gu Jia Ning went in, only symbolically examining the situation. The Divine Doctor Space had already analyzed the pigs’ conditions.
However, she had to go in; she couldn’t just claim to be able to treat them without a glance.
She went in with another goal in mind as well.
