The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

"You, you are a woman who should stay at home, but you don't stay at home to weave and embroider, but run to my husband's clinic, show up openly, chat and laugh with him, and diagnose diseases together. What else can this be but seduction?"

He Xiaolian's words seemed to be reasonable and logical, but Su Yu almost laughed out loud at this ridiculous accusation.

However, in He Xiaolian's eyes, Su Yu's helpless expression was interpreted as a provocation.

She thought that a person of such low status as Su Yu dared to challenge her as the principal wife, especially that fresh and refined face which He Xiaolian thought she could never reach, which aroused the fire of jealousy in her heart.

As a result, her words became sharper and more harsh.

"Everyone knows that my husband is a famous doctor in Qingshui Town. He is elegant, kind-hearted, and his medical skills are unmatched. You lowly people, seeing such a talented and handsome man, are like mosquitoes and flies attracted to blood, and you are so shameless that you stick to him. It's really disgusting... Your despicable behavior is simply unbearable to watch."

"You are young and uneducated, but you have learned the tricks of seduction..."

"enough!"

As Su Yu heard her increasingly outrageous words, he no longer had any thought of saving face and shouted at her harshly.

"First of all, I am not some lady who doesn't care about the world. I have my family and my dear husband. It's only because he has a disability and can't do heavy physical labor, and my family is poor, that I am forced to go out to practice medicine to supplement the family income. My practice of medicine is out of pure kindness, and it is by no means a shameful thing."

He Xiaolian was surprised that this woman was actually married.

But she still found it difficult to accept Su Yu's statement of innocence. In her opinion, it was even more despicable that Su Yu, as a married woman, went out to seduce others.

Su Yu ignored her prejudice and continued, "Secondly, your claim that your husband and I were chatting and laughing while treating patients is difficult to prove, so I won't explain it any further. But in fact, there were too many people seeking medical treatment today, and I couldn't handle it all by myself, so Director Liu was kind enough to help me record the patients' conditions. How could you say that you were seducing me?"

"Who do you think you are? Why would anyone ask you to treat an illness?"

In He Xiaolian's opinion, Su Yu must be using the excuse of studying medicine to try to get close to her husband, so how could she really understand medicine?

Su Yu didn't want to waste time on such a meaningless question, so she changed the subject: "Besides, you said that your husband is handsome, gentle and has superb medical skills. In the eyes of the beholder, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't refute this, but it is nonsense to say that I blindly approached him like a moth to a flame. What do I want from him? In terms of age, he is more than ten years older than me; in terms of appearance, my husband's handsomeness is incomparable to his; in terms of medical skills, I am confident that I am more sophisticated than him. What do I want from him? Is it because he has a wife who is as fierce as a tiger?"

These words made He Xiaolian's face turn pale, and Zhang Yufei beside her also blushed, feeling ashamed. So, in his heart, she was so worthless?

In an instant, an indescribable feeling of loss surged into He Xiaolian's heart.

Su Yu then turned to the crowd and said, "As for my medical skills, I believe everyone present has heard about them to some extent."

The people around nodded and discussed in low voices. Indeed, many people had heard of Su Yu's medical skills and reputation, especially today when she saved Qian Xiucai, who was almost on the verge of death, with her miraculous hands. The news had already spread like wildfire.

Su Yu turned to He Xiaolian with a resolute gaze, and her voice was unquestionably cold: "There is no place for a foolish woman like you to interrupt here!"

"you……"

He Xiaolian was furious. She had never expected that Su Yu was so eloquent and she was completely helpless. Not only could she not win the argument, she was also stamping her feet in anger.

But the spectators around stood on Su Yu's side and spoke for her.

"I'm talking to the Zhang family, stop making a fuss. Doctor Su has been here for a long time and has always been aboveboard. There's no way he would do anything like what you're saying."

"That's right. Doctor Su is a skilled doctor who has cured many difficult and complicated diseases. She is here just to support her family, and it's hard enough. How can you slander a good person like this?"

……

The discussions in the crowd gradually died down, and everyone looked at each other. The atmosphere became subtle and tense.

He Xiaolian's face turned from red to white, and her lips trembled slightly, as if all the strength in her body had been suddenly taken away. Her eyes were filled with anger and shame, and she was filled with disbelief at Yuanfeng's words.

The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, dappled onto the bluestone slabs of the clinic, but it seemed unable to dispel the heaviness.

Su Yu stood aside, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, including gratitude and helplessness.

She didn't expect that Yuanfeng, who had always been taciturn, would stand up at this moment and protect this hard-earned innocence in his own way.

She sighed softly, feeling mixed emotions. She felt sad about the fickleness of the world, but also felt a little warmth flowing from Yuanfeng's fearless support.

The crowd began to whisper, their eyes shifting back and forth between He Xiaolian and Su Yu.

Some were surprised at Yuanfeng's outspokenness, while others were re-evaluating He Xiaolian's image - a jealous woman who would accuse others of false charges without any reason.

No one in Qingshui Town expected that a small storm could reveal so many undercurrents.

Zhang Yufei held He Xiaolian steadily in his hand, his brows full of helplessness and embarrassment.

He knew his wife's character well, but he had never expected things to turn out this way.

He comforted He Xiaolian softly, and at the same time looked at Yuanfeng with complicated eyes, as if blaming him and looking for an answer.

In this small town, everyone's mind was stirred by this sudden wave. The original tranquility was broken, leaving behind suspicion and doubt.

Outside the clinic, a breeze blew, bringing with it the warmth of early summer, but it could not blow away the stagnant atmosphere inside the clinic.

Yuanfeng's standing up not only restored Su Yu's reputation, but also forced everyone to re-examine He Xiaolian's words and deeds, as well as the deep-seated problems hidden behind them.

The residents of Qingshui Town either sighed, shook their heads, or remained silent. Everyone had a scale in their hearts to measure right and wrong, as well as the temperature of people's hearts.

This incident made Su Yu's tenacity and Yuan Feng's integrity the focus of everyone's discussion, and also made the people in the town begin to reflect that true kindness and understanding may be far more important than groundless accusations and speculations.

As for He Xiaolian, standing at the center of public opinion, whether she can learn forgiveness and self-reflection from it all seems to be an unknown, and only time will reveal the answer.

The discussions in the crowd seemed to gather into an invisible storm, and every word of gossip turned into a sharp arrow, shooting mercilessly at He Xiaolian.

Their voices intertwined to form a harsh noise. Every word seemed to deliberately magnify He Xiaolian's unbearableness and ruthlessly deprive her of her dignity.
