Looking at the lifelessness in Liu Pan'er's eyes, Wen Li felt a little sad. Perhaps she had struggled, but she was alone and powerless. In the end, she couldn't fight against the powerful, which was why she was so desperate.
Just now, she was reminded that Wen Li's opinion of her had improved a lot. Liu Pan'er was really pitiful, and Wen Li decided to help her again.
"Comrade Jiang is right. I've only been in the village for less than half a month, but I've heard countless praises of Comrade Jiang. Everyone says that Comrade Jiang is beautiful inside and out, and she wouldn't even step on an ant passing by. I suppose she couldn't bear to see Liu, the educated youth, suffer to death, could she?"
Doesn't the female lead like to portray herself as beautiful and kind-hearted?
Then I'll help her out again!
Jiang Yue'er values her reputation and image above all else. Through years of hard work, she has won the hearts of the villagers, and she has also helped the village secure some benefits. Therefore, most villagers give her face.
As an educated youth sent to the countryside, it wasn't easy for Wen Li to help Liu Pan'er; the villagers would only think she was meddling.
But Jiang Yue'er is different. Given her reputation and status in the village, any word she says carries more weight than a hundred words from Wen Li.
Jiang Yue'er was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect Wen Li to turn her attention to her. She only stood up because she couldn't stand Wen Li showing off. She didn't expect to be praised like this instead!
The Zhang family are all scoundrels, how could she possibly care about Liu Pan'er's life or death?
But if she refuses outright, what will the villagers think of her? Will they think she's been faking it all along?
She forced a smile.
"This is Aunt Lan's family matter. How can I, an outsider, interfere?"
"So, Comrade Jiang, what do you think we should do? You probably can't bear to see a living, breathing life like Liu Zhiqing being tormented like this, can you?"
Jiang Yue'er's eyes darkened, and she regretted her rash decision to target Wen Li.
"Of course, I'll try to persuade Aunt Lan and the others!"
"Hey! I bet Liu Zhiqing will get another beating the moment you leave, right?" Chen Yan disliked Jiang Yue'er from the first moment she saw her, thinking she was fake, and now she thinks she's even more fake.
She pointed at Wang Youlan and Zhang Cuicui, whose faces were filled with resentment, and said, "Look at them, do you think they'd let Liu Zhiqing go?"
Everyone looked over, and the expressions on the two people's faces hadn't yet come to a head.
"This is ultimately a family matter, and it's not appropriate for an outsider like me to interfere!" Jiang Yue'er's expression grew increasingly stiff.
"Since you couldn't interfere, why did you step forward just now? What... you want a good reputation but do nothing? Aren't you just pushing Liu Zhiqing into an even deeper fire pit?"
Everyone immediately felt that Chen Yan's words made sense, and some people had already realized that something was wrong.
It seems that whenever someone had a problem, Jiang Yue'er would always step forward and say nice things, but in the end, only Jiang Yue'er benefited. Her good reputation even spread to several surrounding villages, but the problem was never solved.
The more I think about it, the more something seems off. How come they didn't notice this before?
Jiang Yue'er's heart skipped a beat when she saw the strange looks from everyone. She couldn't let Liu Pan'er ruin the reputation she had maintained for so many years!
"Of course not, I just couldn't think of a good way!"
Wen Li's lips curled into a smile. "In that case, why don't we trouble Comrade Jiang to visit Liu Zhiqing more often? If the Zhang family continues to mistreat Liu Zhiqing, have the village chief report it to the commune. I think this should be quite simple for Comrade Jiang!"
Jiang Yue'er's fingernails dug deep into her flesh. With just a few light words, Wen Li had entrusted Liu Pan'er's future to her. If anything happened to Liu Pan'er in the future, the villagers would think it was because she hadn't taken good care of her.
This matter seemed simple, but it was a hot potato, yet she couldn't refuse.
"Okay, I'll visit Liu Zhiqing often in the future!"
Wen Li noticed the fleeting coldness in Jiang Yue'er's eyes and slightly curled her lips. "Liu Zhiqing is covered in wounds, some of which have become infected, and she also has a high fever. I'll take her to see the barefoot doctor first. Aunt Zhang, could you please ask for leave for me?"
Aunt Zhang in the crowd nodded. "Okay, go take Liu Zhiqing to see him!"
Jiang Yue'er clenched her fists, watching Wen Li's departing figure. When her gaze fell on Liu Pan'er, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
As soon as Liu Guixiang arrived, she heard about what had just happened. She didn't expect her daughter to be involved in this matter. She could tell that Wen Li wanted to use Jiang Yue'er to help Liu Pan'er. Although she knew that Wen Li meant well, she still felt uneasy about it.
The Zhang family is no good, and nobody in the village wants to get involved in their affairs. Wouldn't that just cause trouble for Yue'er?
Originally, Liu Guixiang quite liked Wen Li, but now she felt a little resentful towards Wen Li. Compared to her own daughter, her affection for Wen Li was nothing!
But she never considered that it was Jiang Yue'er who wanted to jump out of this situation, and Wen Li was just playing along.
"Stop! You're not allowed to leave! You just hit me, and you haven't paid me back yet!" Wang Youlan saw Wen Li trying to take Liu Pan'er away, so she quickly got up from the ground. She didn't care at all whether Liu Pan'er lived or died.
Wen Li turned her head and looked at Wang Youlan with a mocking gaze.
"Oh? How much do you want?"
Wang Youlan thought Wen Li was scared, so she quickly said, "Two hundred, I want two hundred!"
Wen Li scoffed, "The police don't deal with your family matters, but they do deal with extortion. What we just did was at most a mutual fight. I can give you the money, but you'll have to be alive to spend it!"
Wang Youlan has always been a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. Wen Li was clearly not someone to be trifled with, so in the end, Wang Youlan could only watch resentfully as Wen Li left with Liu Pan'er.
He cursed inwardly, thinking that he would deal with that little slut when she got back!
She turned her head and met Jiang Yue'er's cold eyes. At this moment, Jiang Yue'er was smiling on the surface, but for some reason, Wang Youlan felt that she was a little creepy.
Wen Li helped Liu Pan'er to the barefoot doctor. The barefoot doctor's surname was Wu, as mentioned in the original book. Doctor Wu was very skilled in medicine and used to run a pharmacy outside. However, due to the tight security situation in recent years, he took his family back to the countryside to seek refuge.
Of course, the most important one is his grandson Wu Xing. Wu Xing is very smart. He has been learning medicine from Doctor Wu since he was a child. His medical skills are even better than Doctor Wu's. He will become a great master of traditional Chinese medicine in the future. He has made friends with many powerful people through his medical skills. He has been in love with the female lead for many years and is also a great help to her.
Old Wu sighed when he saw Wen Li helping Liu Pan'er over.
He first lifted the curtain beside him, revealing a small bed inside.
"Let's put him on the bed inside to rest for a while!"
Wen Li gently placed Liu Pan'er on the bed. As soon as Liu Pan'er lay down, she became a little drowsy.
Wen Li held the water bottle to her lips and fed her some diluted spiritual spring water.
After drinking some water, Liu Pan'er felt a little better. Wen Li, using her clothes pocket as cover, took out a White Rabbit milk candy, tore off the coating, and fed it to her.
The sweet, milky taste filled her mouth, and Liu Pan'er could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face in large drops.
At this moment, Doctor Wu also came over with the pulse diagnosis. He knew about Liu Pan'er's condition, so he didn't ask why Wen Li, an outsider, had brought her over.
