My Youth Began With Him

“I don’t care. You’re treating the girl whether you like it or not.” He Yongjun’s face turned dark.

“Why are you being so unreasonable? Let me tell you something, I don’t treat children. I’m just a village doctor. I can’t treat you guys… If something happens, who’s going to be responsible for it? Honestly, I’m doing you a favor. The county hospital is only 60 miles away and C City is only 90. They have large and well-equipped hospitals there. The First Hospital and South Side are all highly-renowned institutions. Why did you come to a crummy little place like this?”

The village doctor was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had on a pair of glasses and his speech carried a heavy accent.

He was clearly trying to evade responsibilities, driving the visitors away.

“Shut up, do as I say.”

“I don’t feel well. Why do I have to see the patient if I don’t want to? This is my clinic. I’m in charge.”

He Yongjun’s impolite attitude was getting on the village doctor’s nerves. He promptly rejected seeing Little Bean.

As the two continued their standoff, He Yongjun suddenly pulled out a knife and pressed it against the doctor’s neck.

“Oh my god, what are you doing?!” The doctor panicked.

“Shut up! Hurry up and treat the kid.”

“Hey man, whatever you want, put down the knife first.” The doctor was about to pee his pants.

Shen Jiani was quiet during the entire exchange. She was watching the twins carefully, afraid to make any mistakes.

Understanding the dangerous situation he was in, the doctor gave in.

“I’m warning you. Don’t play any tricks. I’ll put down the knife and you will treat her wounds. If you scream, I’ll kill your entire family.”

“Of course, of course. Please spare me. I’ll treat her wounds.”

Finally, scared out of his wits, the doctor let them in with shaky hands.

“Little Bean, be brave,” Pudding encouraged her little sister.

“Sis, I’m fine. My skin is thick and I’m rich in flesh. It won’t hurt.” Little Bean laughed, afraid to worry her older sister.

Pudding’s heart ached even more…

She regretted not being careful when she saw Tiantian. If she had only analyzed the situation more carefully, she wouldn’t have walked into this trap and her little sister wouldn’t have gotten injured.

If something bad were to really happen to Little Bean, she wouldn’t be able to live either.

She wasn’t afraid of what her parents might say; she simply couldn’t handle Little Bean leaving.

Being twins, they would live and die together.

After they went inside, the village doctor’s wife also got up, pouring them tea and hot water.

Shen Jiani sat on a chair, playing around with her long nails.

He Yongjun was like a statue, dark-faced and still, guarding the entrance, knife in his hands.

Pudding stood beside Little Bean, watching the doctor bandage up her wounds.

“Doctor, how’s the wound?”

“Not too bad. The wound’s not deep. It’s just a lot of blood. Once I stop the bleeding, I’ll give her an anti-inflammatory shot.”

“I’m scared that she’ll get tetanus. Please treat it carefully,” Pudding told the doctor.

“Don’t worry about that. It’s not that easy to get tetanus. It’s not like she was bitten by a dog.”

Hearing this, He Yongjun’s eyes shot daggers at the doctor, effectively shutting the latter up.

“She doesn’t need a shot. Finish up with the bandages and we’ll leave.” It was getting light out and He Yongjun couldn’t waste any more time.

“No, give my sister a shot.” Pudding persisted.

“Kid, don’t try me.” He Yongjun was losing his patience.
