I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s
Chapter 119: An Unexpected Helper
CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 119: AN UNEXPECTED HELPER
"I call you Aunt Du out of respect, but your words and actions, what part of them deserves my respect? Last time you sold me to that scoundrel, my mother had to pay double to buy me back, sparing me a lifetime of suffering. Now you want to deceive me again, who are you trying to sell me to this time?"
Beisitian did not speak passionately, but the subtle sorrow and disappointment between her brows made her words even more convincing.
Mrs. Qin did not expect her to speak so directly about this matter. She was worried about the trouble it might cause Beisitian, afraid of gossip among the villagers that would hurt her feelings. Thus, only she and her husband knew about it; not even the old folks back home were aware.
As Mrs. Qin anticipated, Beisitian’s words stirred up an uproar, instantly causing a buzzing sound from the crowd.
No wonder Beisitian suddenly became Luo Er’s wife back then; there was another layer of connection!
Many people had a sudden realization, remembering that people talked about this affair for a long time back then. Although neither family publicized it, others couldn’t guess, and who would have thought that years later, the person involved would say it out in front of so many people!
Beisitian truly has a miserable fate, almost being sold by her stepmother twice, now facing a third attempt at deception. This Du Bapi is really something terrible!
Du Chunmei now became the target of all criticism, and the way people looked at her changed. A stepmother beating and scolding a child might get a spit, but blatantly selling people is sure to pierce her spine!
At the time, she was blinded by the three hundred yuan bride price, not caring if the other party was an old man. Beidewang seemed capable, but he couldn’t earn much money; many patients did not only refuse payment but even incur extra costs. With such a man, wouldn’t she try to calculate against him?
Later, somehow, Luo Er’s family wanted Beisitian to be their daughter-in-law. At that time, Luo Er’s family was not yet Luo Er’s family but Luo’s because Luo Xudong was doing quite well, and the Luo family was quite prosperous in the village.
She sensed an opportunity and asked for six hundred yuan right away, and the other party surprisingly agreed. Du Chunmei felt some regret then, thinking she might have undercharged.
Beidewang had died, and selling this girl for six hundred yuan was a good deal. She instantly delivered Beisitian to the Luo Family without even a piece of clothing, thinking since she’s their daughter-in-law, let them take care of her.
Du Chunmei had long found a match for herself, just waiting to send Beisitian away, so she could marry with her precious daughter.
The man was also a second marriage with two sons, and she had this six hundred yuan, along with what she secretly saved before, plus what Beidewang left. It totaled about one thousand yuan, enough to marry with pride, no need to cater to anyone!
That’s why she wasn’t afraid of Mrs. Qin speaking out then; later, Mrs. Qin also seemed not to bring it up, so Du Chunmei knew Mrs. Qin had concerns, whatever they were, she didn’t care.
Who could have thought this dead girl was waiting for her here?
A few days ago, she thought if she could deceive this dead girl, she could properly control her, making her get trampled underfoot for life, but never thought this girl wouldn’t fall for it.
Being able to give Beisitian a car and a house? Du Chunmei would have to be crazy to do that; she has a precious daughter. If there is such a good family, how could she not reserve it for her daughter?
This time, it’s because there was a broker from the city who said there’s a place abroad hiring female workers, not only earning thousands a month but also offering a three hundred reward to the introducer!
Introducing one would earn three hundred, and a month of work could earn thousands? Although Du Chunmei is a woman without much education, she is shrewd. Such a good deal, she had to investigate what kind of job it was, and upon inquiry, she did find out more.
Turns out it’s abroad just for accompanying guests, eating and sleeping, everything accompanied. Originally, she thought about sending her own daughter, but immediately dismissed this idea and thought of Beisitian!
If she could deceive Beisitian into going, she would immediately earn three hundred!
She felt bitter towards the child her husband had with another woman, even if she was before her. It was upsetting, of course, sending her abroad was good.
But explaining this matter was too troublesome, and now Luo Er’s family had so much going on, might as well use this as a talk. Surely, that girl longed to leave, just lacking opportunity.
It was exactly because Du Chunmei thought and acted this way that all these things unfolded.
Now Du Chunmei really had the urge to tear Beisitian’s mouth, though many onlookers were around, few would actually step in, anyway not their own business, the bigger the scene, the more entertaining!
Du Chunmei was furious, if she didn’t slap her twice, she feared she’d choke on this anger for days.
Since she couldn’t trick her away, might as well first enjoy herself.
As for Mrs. Qin and Luo Anping, she didn’t take them seriously at all, a blind person and a boy, how could they threaten her.
Beisitian saw Du Chunmei’s eyes swirling with fire rising, knowing she couldn’t hold back anymore, her palms already held the medicine powder, just waiting for her to come.
Actually, with her current physical condition, she could physically fight Du Chunmei, but she felt it too degrading to her, engaging a malicious village woman would indeed tarnish her Mystic Doctor status!
Looks like she needs to recover quickly, produce a Strength Talisman, adding more strength, and get more defensive measures.
Du Chunmei strode towards them with a ferocious look, making many people step back to avoid getting caught in the fray when they fought.
Luo Anping stood in front of Beisitian first, he might be small, but not afraid of this foul woman!
Beisitian smiled and patted Luo Anping’s head, not taking Du Chunmei seriously at all.
At this moment, there was sudden commotion in the crowd, a man emerged with a brick in hand, gazing unfavorably at Du Chunmei.
"Du Bapi, dare I hit you with a brick? I don’t use my hands for fear of dirtying them!" the man glared and said.
Beisitian turned and looked, realizing it was the family she had saved during the landslide, and their surname seemed to be Li.
On the other side, a man and a girl also stepped forward, the girl jogged over to stand beside Beisitian, it was Liu Chunyu.
The man was Liu Chunshu, he held a carrying pole, looking like he had just returned from work.
"Oh, what’s this? You want to fight?" Liu Chunshu stepped past Beisitian, standing ahead, looking around, "I thought there’d be lots, turns out just one woman? Where’d you get the guts to fight here!"
He was called by Liu Chunyu, who didn’t explain clearly but said someone was troubling Beisitian.
Last time, Beisitian saved his mother, he was thinking how to thank her, and given his previous bad attitude, he felt conflicted and tangled. Upon hearing this, he didn’t even enter his home, threw down the iron bucket and came with the pole.
Coming here, he saw it was just one woman!
