The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 37: Chapter 037: Another Scammer (Part 16)

Hearing someone shouting ”Help,” He Tiantian, driven by her medical instincts fostered in the previous world, immediately grabbed her acupuncture kit and ran out.

”What happened? What’s going on?”

He Tiantian raced forward and quickly arrived nearby, she had just heard the phrase ”going to give birth,” so was the patient a woman in labor?!

He Tiantian pondered to herself, but as she hurried to the clinic, the man she ran into, upon seeing He Tiantian, looked utterly disappointed: ”Where’s Dr. Liu? Is Dr. Liu here?”

”Ah, Laosi, I told you, Dr. Liu got into a university in Provincial City, he left for school a few days ago!”

Chasing behind the man was a black skinny woman in her thirties or forties.

As she chased him, she gasped, ”Hurry up and ask the captain to lend you a tractor, take your wife to Provincial City quickly, maybe there is still hope!”

”It’s too late! Wuu, Aunt Chen said my wife is having a difficult childbirth, the baby’s feet came out first and got stuck—”

The man’s face was filled with despair, and his legs buckled, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.

Actually, he had also heard that Dr. Liu had left, but he hadn’t given up hope.

His wife was having a difficult labor, and it seemed she wouldn’t make it much longer, so the midwife they called urged them to come up with a solution.

But, with so little time, where could he find a solution?

The clinic was their only hope, but now—

”Difficult childbirth? Where is the pregnant woman? How is she doing?”

Ignored by others, He Tiantian wasn’t annoyed, but instead, she asked urgently.

”Why are you asking these questions? Can you save my wife?” The man’s breath seemed to deflate, his entire demeanor turning listless.

Hearing He Tiantian unleashing a barrage of questions made him even more irritable, and he retorted gruffly.

”I can’t say for sure if I can save your wife, but if you keep sitting here doing nothing, your wife definitely won’t make it!” He Tiantian replied sternly.

”You, you—” The man was choked with anger.

What did this young girl mean?

Was she implying that if his wife died, it would all be his fault for not trying hard enough?

But what could he do, He Family Village was over a hundred kilometers from Provincial City, and even by tractor, it would take two or three hours.

Aunt Chen made it clear, his wife couldn’t wait even an hour.

Actually, even if the clinic’s Dr. Liu were still there, a barefoot doctor skilled only in treating minor colds and fevers wouldn’t be much help.

The man had come all this way, unwilling to just watch his wife and child die.

He had done his best, yet this wretched girl’s words turned him into the murderer responsible for his wife’s death!

The man seemed to think of something, rolled over, and got up from the ground, ”Fine, you just wait, I’ll bring my wife right now, and if you can’t save her, see how I will settle this with you!”

Having said that, he didn’t wait for He Tiantian to respond before he ran off.

He Tiantian: ... Well, letting him bring her here is good too.

”Ah, you girl, you don’t know anything yet you dare to make reckless promises!”

The middle-aged woman who had been chasing after the man watched the scene unfold, somewhat dumbfounded.

She was panting heavily, and it took her a while to catch her breath, ”Do you know that Laosi is known in our village for being incredibly stubborn? Once he sets his mind on something, he never turns back, not even if it kills him!”

”Auntie, hello, my name is He Tiantian, I’m He Dazhuang’s daughter!”

However, He Tiantian didn’t pick up on the middle-aged woman’s words but instead, lifted her lips into a sweet smile.

The auntie paused for a moment, then slapped her thigh, ”Oh, so you’re the child that got switched with Zixuan?”

He Tiantian smiled and nodded her head.

”Don’t mention it, on closer look, you really do resemble your grandmother. She was your dad’s younger aunt, who became someone’s concubine before the liberation, such a thin fate!”

The auntie leaned in closer for a good look.

What’s the latest gossip in He Family Village?

None other than He Family’s own home.

First it was the daughter getting into university, followed by the news that the daughter who got into university wasn’t the He Family’s biological child.

Then He Tiantian, a fair and beautiful girl, returned, and before people could recover, she swiftly made connections with the team leader and successfully took over Dr. Liu’s duties.

You should know, working in the clinic is the easiest job, and as soon as the news that Dr. Liu had been accepted into university spread, many families had their eyes on it.

There was a rumor saying that the chief wanted his own beloved daughter to take over his role.

On that matter, the residents of He Family Village were secretly jealous but couldn’t openly complain.

After all, the chief was the chief; it was only natural for him to seek some convenience for his child.

But for some reason, the chief’s daughter didn’t come to the health clinic and instead, it was He Tiantian, who was just acknowledged by the He Family, who took the spot.

Last night, the news had not yet spread, and the villagers were still unaware.

This morning, many saw He Dazhuang’s beautiful daughter, the girl called Tiantian, warmly greeting people as she made her way to the health clinic.

Only at that point did everyone realize what had happened.

Thus, some people began to feel resentful.

Why should such good fortune fall on the head of He Tiantian, a girl who had just returned?

Stubbornly, He Laosi ran to the health clinic to ”seek help,” which certainly wasn’t coincidental but provoked by onlookers who shouted out loud.

Someone was clearly plotting against He Tiantian.

This aunt muttered to herself, and Seo Xiulan, who rushed over, was incredibly anxious.

Seo Xiulan hurried over, still outside the yard when she shouted, ”Tiantian! Tiantian!”

He Tiantian quickly responded and came out, ”Mom, why have you come?”

”Oh my, if I didn’t come, you silly girl would have been tricked by others!”

Seo Xiulan was frantic, not even bothering to pretend to be a loving mother.

She reached out to poke He Tiantian’s forehead but was gently stopped by He Tiantian who held her finger.

”Mom, how did I get tricked?” He Tiantian asked knowingly.

Seo Xiulan stomped her foot. ”You, you, did you promise that simpleton He Laosi that you would definitely save his wife and child?”

”Not at all! I just said that if he sits at the entrance of the clinic doing nothing, his wife and child will definitely not survive!” He Tiantian said objectively.

After saying this, she asked the aunt, ”Aunt, you were also there; isn’t that what I said?”

The aunt gave a sheepish smile, trying hard to avoid He Tiantian’s gaze, ”I, I ran there too fast and didn’t hear clearly!”

He Tiantian raised an eyebrow. Oh, someone is really plotting against me.

”Seo Xiuhong, you didn’t hear clearly? But you are known as the gossip of He Family Village, your ears can hear people’s idle chatter from miles away, you couldn’t have missed it?”

Seo Xiulan immediately turned her attack towards the aunt.

In reality, they were not strangers to each other; by their names, it was apparent that Seo Xiulan and this aunt were probably clan cousins.

Indeed, that was the case.

Seo Xiulan and Seo Xiuhong were village girls from the same village, later married into He Family Village.

Back in their paternal home, they were good cousins.

But, after becoming daughters-in-law in He Family Village, due to various reasons, they eventually became sworn enemies.

Seo Xiulan was openly fierce, venting her temper directly.

Whereas Seo Xiuhong was the type with a hidden dagger, outwardly harmonious but secretly malicious.

Seeing her acting with a forced smile, He Tiantian knew who instigated He Laosi to come to the health clinic!

Tsk, such a minor, remote village, and the job of a barefoot doctor could incite such a blatant struggle.

He Tiantian shook her head quietly.

Seeing her real mother about to clash with Seo Xiuhong, He Tiantian stepped forward and stopped her, ”Mom, maybe the aunt is getting older and her hearing isn’t so good; if she didn’t hear, then she didn’t hear.”

Seo Xiuhong’s fake smile was almost unbearable. What getting older? I’m two years younger than your own mother.

”Ah no, Tiantian, you, you—” Seo Xiulan was truly agitated, fearing her daughter would ruin her first day at work.

He Laosi really was a simpleton, adamant about what he believed, completely unreasonable.

If he were to chaotically entangle and cost her daughter the good job, even if Seo Xiulan blocked He Laosi’s door and cursed for a whole day and night, it would still be futile.

”Mom, don’t worry! I know what I’m doing!”

He Tiantian nodded gently, her youthful face full of confidence...
