Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Xue Linfang started to panic. ”Aunties, Chu Zhiqing is just changing jobs; she’s not leaving our production team. If you think her acupuncture is good, you can still find her later. It’s not like she’s running away.”

As soon as she said this, the way everyone looked at her changed. The auntie from before spoke up, ”Xue Linfang, you sure know how to talk. She’s not in that position anymore, so why should she do the work?”

”Exactly! You have neither her magnanimity nor her medical skills, yet you’re here trying to get her to do free labor. What a schemer!”

At these words, Xue Linfang, still young, visibly lost her composure. ”Auntie, we all live in the same village. You’ve all watched me grow up. How can you say such things about me? I was only thinking about what’s best for the village!”

Someone scoffed. ”Clearly, Chu Zhiqing has excellent medical skills. Why make her leave? Since you’re so selfless, why don’t *you* go work in the fields yourself then!”

At this, the Xue family members in the crowd couldn’t remain silent. Xue Linfang’s mother stepped forward. ”Is there no respect for first come, first served anymore? Our Lin Fang was just on leave; she never said she was quitting! Besides, Doctor Gong has taken good care of all of you for years. Listen to what you’re saying now! Going by your logic, then Doctor Gong shouldn’t come back to work at the health clinic either, right?”
