"I understand. Thank you, Sister Xie."

Su Yu uttered these words softly, relief evident in his tone.

She understood that as long as she had a clear conscience, there was no point in caring about other people's views and criticisms.

However, Xie Qifen didn't seem to intend to end the conversation. She just took a breath and had to take another step, chasing after Su Yu helplessly again: "Hey! Wait for me, I still have something to say!"

Su Yu stopped helplessly, turned around and looked at Sister Xie, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Sister, do you have anything else to say?"

Xie Qifen smiled slightly and said earnestly: "I want to tell you that now everyone understands that you were misunderstood before. You are a kind person and would never do such a thing."

"Oh, really?"

Su Yu was a little surprised that the attitude of the villagers who had been avoiding her not long ago had changed so much in a short period of time.

Seeing Su Yu's confused face, Xie Qifen patiently explained: "Look, why can't you understand what's going on? Just now, Aunt Li treated you like that, but you were able to help her. Doesn't this prove that you are not a cruel person? Isn't the previous misunderstanding resolved?"

Listening to Xie Qifen's words, Su Yu couldn't help but laugh.

She marveled at the villagers' simplicity and straightforwardness. Just because of this action, they could easily overturn previous prejudices and redefine a person's good and evil.

This is the simplicity and directness of rural life, as well as the best side of human nature.

Thinking of this, the haze in her heart quietly dissipated, replaced by hope and expectations for the future.

Human nature is like a winding tree with complex textures and interwoven colors. How can there be an absolute division between black and white?

The reason why she chose to lend a helping hand was, firstly, as a doctor, saving the dying and the wounded was not only the mission given by her profession, but also the awe and respect for life in her heart; secondly, although the old woman's behavior was extreme, it did not touch the moral bottom line deep in Su Yu's heart, and her actions did not cause ripples in Su Yu's heart. In contrast, if Jiang Youfu fell into such a predicament, Su Yu would probably not only not lend a helping hand, but might even secretly rejoice in her heart, or even set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Although the world is cruel, it is undoubtedly a blessing that people can gradually eliminate their misunderstandings about her.

After all, in this small village, people live together day after day, year after year. If the relationship is tense for a long time, it will undoubtedly cast a shadow on each other's lives.

Looking back, Su Yu's attitude towards Sister Xie was inevitably a little cold due to the misunderstanding and accusations of the villagers.

You know, it was this simple and kind elder sister who stood by her and Jiang Ziling without hesitation last time, and together they recovered their two paddy fields and more than 100 kilograms of life-saving rice from the hands of the Zhao family.

This kindness has not yet been repaid, but today he treats her coldly due to misunderstanding, which makes Su Yu feel deeply guilty.

"Sister Xie, I'm sorry, my attitude just now was indeed wrong."

Su Yu spoke sincerely, with a sincere look in his eyes, and bowed deeply to Sister Xie to apologize. Seeing this, Xie Qifen smiled slightly, and that smile was like the sunshine in early spring, warm and tolerant: "Hey, what's this? I can understand that you feel aggrieved."

Her words flowed slowly into Su Yu's heart like a gurgling stream, and she comforted him: "People in our village are all straightforward and don't like to beat around the bush when they speak or do things, so you don't have to worry too much. Even if everyone can't figure it out for a while, they will eventually understand it."

Su Yu nodded gently and responded gratefully: "Well, I understand."

I secretly felt that Sister Xie was such a kind-hearted person. If I ever had any difficulties and asked her for help in the future, she would surely lend a helping hand without hesitation.

Soon, wherever Su Yu looked, he saw a crowd of people in the market ahead, and the noise and hawking sounds intertwined into a vivid country symphony.

Thanks to her quick pace, Su Yu reached her destination in just over an hour. Looking back, the slow-moving ox cart was still far behind her, with a considerable distance between her and the cart.

After saying goodbye to Sister Xie, Su Yu happened to meet an old lady passing by, and he went up to her to ask about the specific location of a nearby clinic.

"Miss, there are two clinics with good reputations in our town. The 'Xuanhu Clinic' in the north is large in scale and has a complete range of medicinal materials, which is second to none; and the 'Huichuntang' at the upper street corner is well-known for its fair prices and friendly services, and is deeply loved by the people. As for those other small clinics, their medical skills are uneven. In my opinion, you'd better not take the risk, so as not to suffer in vain."

The old lady introduced the place enthusiastically and meticulously, her words fully revealing her familiarity and love for the customs and people of her hometown.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Su Yu thanked him sincerely, and then went straight to the point as instructed.

Considering that the value of medicinal materials can only be fully reflected in places where there is sufficient demand, Su Yu decided to go to the "Xuanhu Medical Clinic" first.

When I stepped into the hallway, I saw a waiter leaning against the counter, yawning and looking drowsy.

Su Yu walked forward gently, knocked on the table politely, and explained his purpose.

"Selling medicine?"

The servant glanced at the herbs in Su Yu's basket with disdain on his face, and then waved his hand impatiently to drive him away: "Go away, we don't accept your junk here."

Obviously, the servant was quite dissatisfied with Su Yu for interrupting his lunch break and his attitude was extremely bad.

Su Yu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but retorted: "How can you talk like that?"

However, the servant did not restrain himself, but instead started to push and shove him, saying rudely: "Get out of the way! Don't block my way to wealth! In broad daylight, who dares to come here?"

This series of insults and provocations instantly ignited the anger in Su Yu's heart like a raging fire.

Her eyes were sharp, and she decisively grabbed the boy's wrist, her voice was cold, and every word was loud and clear: "Don't touch me!"

"You bitch... ouch..."

A servant's sharp wail exploded in front of the clinic, instantly attracting passers-by to stop and focus their eyes on this sudden farce.

The young man had a look of pain on his face, covering his restrained wrist, as if he was enduring unbearable pain.

From deep within the clinic, an old figure came out upon hearing the sound, his steps steady and calm. It was the owner of the clinic, a white-haired old man.

He stared at the chaos in front of him with sharp eyes, frowned slightly, and asked the servant: "Changliu, what happened?"

The servant who was firmly restrained by Su Yu had a distorted face, his eyes flashing with a mixture of pain and resentment, and he gnashed his teeth and accused: "Master, she, she is running wild!"

The voice was trembling and had a hint of crying, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Su Yuze had an indifferent expression, a sneer on his lips, and his eyes were as sharp as ice, piercing the servant's heart.
