Doctor Gong had not yet been discharged from the hospital, and Xue Linfang hadn’t returned either, leaving everyone at a loss.
Just as Feng Si Mei’s eyes started to roll back, someone suddenly shouted, "The new educated youth knows medical skills! Get her over here to take a look!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of those genuinely concerned for Feng Si Mei immediately changed. Meanwhile, the other villagers looked on, clearly anticipating some drama.
The Branch Secretary reacted then. Following the crowd’s gaze, he saw Yunyi, who was still working in the distance, and hurriedly ran forward. "Chu Zhiqing, please come and see what’s wrong with her."
Yunyi didn’t move, her face expressionless as she stated, "I treat patients based on my mood and whether I take a liking to them. She’s thoroughly lacking in virtue, and we have no affinity."
Her words made the crowd look at each other in dismay. They also realized this Chu Zhiqing was not to be trifled with.
Gao Chuanbei, seeing his wife on the verge of death, exclaimed, "Chu Zhiqing, you can’t just stand by and watch someone die!"
Yunyi scoffed. "With that foul mouth of hers, she casually ruins reputations. Why should I save her? This is probably because she’s done so many bad things that even Heaven can’t bear to watch any longer."
Everyone remembered how Feng Da Mouth had previously mocked Widow Qiu’s son, and many chimed in, "That mouth of hers really needs to be shut!"
"Exactly! Always gossiping about this family’s business and that family’s secrets. Now it looks like she’s truly facing retribution."
"Are you crazy? You can’t just say things like that recklessly."
"Look at me, I must have lost my mind. PTOOEY, PTOOEY, PTOOEY! I was wrong, I won’t spout nonsense again."
Seeing Feng Si Mei unable to stand and slumping to the ground, Gao Chuanbei shouted, "Chu Zhiqing, I’ll apologize on behalf of my wife! Please, take a look at her!"
The Branch Secretary, seeing she was breathing her last, also urged, "Chu Zhiqing, save her first. Afterward, I’ll have her apologize to you in front of the entire village."
Yunyi, seeing the situation was about right, didn’t want to dirty her hands on such a person. She said, "I can save her, but my treatment methods might be a bit rough. If you’re not willing, then find someone else."
With her life hanging by a thread, who could afford to care about the methods? Gao Chuanbei quickly agreed, "As long as it saves her, any method is fine with us!"
Yunyi thrust her hoe into the ground. "You’re the one who said it. If she gets injured later, you can’t blame me."
Gao Chuanbei was in no position to haggle. "We won’t blame you, we won’t! Chu Zhiqing, please hurry, she’s really about to die!"
Yunyi jumped down from the edge of the field and walked over to Feng Da Mouth. She said, "Move her hands away."
After a brief mock examination, she instructed, "Help her up and hold her steady. Make sure you have a firm grip on her. Also, the diagnosis and treatment fee is six yuan. Any objections?" Official source is novel~fire~net
Gao Chuanbei hastily nodded. "No objections, none at all! Please, save her quickly, she’s almost out of breath!"
Yunyi turned, took a running start towards Feng Da Mouth’s back, and landed a solid kick. The clod of earth lodged in Feng Da Mouth’s throat was dislodged by the impact and flew out.
The two people holding Feng Si Mei couldn’t maintain their grip. She flew several meters before sprawling face-first into the soybean patch.
With a shriek of "AH!" Feng Si Mei began to wail, "My back! It hurts so much!"
Yunyi naturally hadn’t intended to break her back. However, a lesson was definitely in order; she’d see if Feng Si Mei dared to spout such nonsense in front of her again.
Gao Chuanbei, extremely anxious, helped his wife up and hurried over to Yunyi, shouting, "Chu Zhiqing, my wife’s back is hurting! Please, check on her again!"
Yunyi waved her hand. "With the force of that kick, it’s normal for her back to hurt. If you’re worried, take her to the commune health clinic for a check-up. Oh, right. Don’t forget the six-yuan treatment fee."
