Chapter 49 -049 – So That’s How It Is
“Ruozhu, where did you learn the method you used to save Xi Dandan?” Bai Zepei suddenly asked, thinking to himself that he had watched his little sister grow up, but how did she suddenly learn to treat others?
In her previous life, Bai Ruozhu was a dentist and had also learned some traditional Chinese medicine from her grandfather as a child.
However, she was afraid of being questioned by her family about her sudden ability to treat people.
“I saw it by chance when I passed by the clinic in the town last time.
At that time, someone also drowned, but it was much more serious than Xi Dandan.
I saw the doctor pressed him to spit out the water in exactly that way.” Bai Ruozhu was relieved that she had been to the town alone, otherwise she could not have fabricated this story.
Bai Zepei nodded thoughtfully, “My little sister is intelligent and learns quickly.” He felt that his sister seemed to have a natural talent for medicine and perhaps could develop in this direction.
If she could become a doctor like Dr.
Li, her life could be better.
Bai Ruozhu did not know that her second brother was considering finding her a master.
If she knew, it would be laughable.
She might be at the same level as the village doctor when she was 10 years old.
Of course, she did not underestimate the doctors of this era.
Many of their folk prescriptions were even more effective than her medical knowledge.
When the two arrived at the County Government Office, it was indeed past the time Bai Zepei had agreed with Officer Li.
Fortunately, Officer Li greeted them with a smile, not appearing upset.
Bai Ruozhu felt that Officer Li was not a petty person, so her impression of him improved.
The siblings paid their respects to Officer Li, who smiled at Bai Ruozhu and said, “Since your brother calls me a brother, you should not be too formal with me.
I know a little about your circumstances, and I understand your hardship.”
Bai Ruozhu respectfully replied, “Thank you, Officer Li, for standing up for me and for understanding my plight.
It is no wonder you are spoken of as a good official by the people in town.”
Officer Li laughed heartily and turned to Bai Zepei, saying, “Your sister must have read some books with you, right?
She is very eloquent.”
Bai Zepei also laughed, “My sister has been studying with my grandfather since she was a child.
She also loves to read.
What she said about you being a good official is no exaggeration.”
Officer Li was in high spirits after being lauded by the siblings.
He quickly ordered his servant to issue a marriage certificate for Bai Ruozhu.
Since Chang Sheng was not present, his signature was imprinted on the marriage certificate as proof of his approval.
Because Officer Li was still busy with public affairs, the two siblings withdrew.
Officer Li did not ask them to stay longer but reminded them to be careful on their way home.
As Bai Ruozhu followed her second brother out of the county office, she suddenly felt as if someone was watching her.
She couldn’t help but look back, but she saw nothing but busy officials.
She laughed and shook her head, thinking that the bigger her belly became, the more likely she was to have whimsical thoughts.
After the siblings left the county office, a man dressed in dark green clothes emerged from around the corner.
“Huh,” he muttered to himself, “that woman has a sharp sense of perception.”
He turned and went to the back hall, where Officer Li greeted him with a smile.
“Yichun, what brings you here unexpectedly?”
Jiang Yichun gave a slight nod to Officer Li, “I was passing by, just thought to stop by.” His voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.
Officer Li, with a somewhat obsequious demeanor, said, “Why don’t you stay and have lunch with us?
I’ll tell the servants to arrange it immediately.”
“Hmm,” Jiang Yichun murmured a near inaudible response, but Officer Li cheerfully went to make arrangements.
Jiang Yichun glanced at the marriage register on Officer Li’s desk.
Seeing this, Officer Li nervously rushed back.
Jiang Yichun pointed to Bai Ruozhu’s name and said, “The man did not sign or stamp, why is a thing considered valid?
Officer Li, are you being partial?”
Officer Li explained in a hurry, “Yichun, you don’t know the details.
This woman has lived a hard life.
She is the legitimate granddaughter of a scholar in Back Mountain Village.”
He explained to Jiang Yichun the sad fate of Bai Ruozhu, being a widow at a young age and pregnant.
He added, “Her brother is also a scholar and may become a scholar after the Rural Examination.
So, I am also doing a favor for him.”
Jiang Yichun raised an eyebrow, showing a little interest.
Expecting this, Officer Li was relieved.
“You don’t know the full story. freёweɓnovel.com
That woman was almost tricked into a deadly situation,” Officer Li said, his tone filled with intrigue.
Jiang Yichun raised his eyebrows, showing a bit of interest.
Officer Li, gossiped energetically about Liu, his wife and the son of the Cao Family planning to spread rumors about Bai Ruozhu and even plotting to harm her.
Jiang Yichun frowned, “Why did Liu’s wife want to harm Bai Ruozhu?”
Officer Li looked disgusted as he said, “According to Liu’s wife’s confession, she was jealous of Bai Ruozhu’s beauty and literacy and hated Bai Ruozhu’s mother for slapping her.”
Shaking his head, Officer Li added, “You have no idea how crude these country women can be.”
