Educated Youth in the Countryside: She is the Village's Embroidery Queen!-Chapter 146: Look at You Acting All Dramatic

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Look at You Acting All Dramatic

While they were talking, people started running past the door one after another.

Liu Chen was puzzled, "What’s going on, why is everyone rushing like they’re going to watch a show?"

Yi Chichi was applying herbal powder, and just as Wen Shi was about to respond, the sound of urgent footsteps clattered, followed by Ge Sujuan’s voice.

"Chichi, Xiao Cao’s old mother is causing her trouble, wanna go check it out?!"

"Let’s go!"

Goodness, Dong Mei had just mentioned this, and before the day is over, Big Mouth is already taking action.

With such a parent, poor Xiao Cao is really unfortunate.

"We have to hurry, or we’ll miss everything."

That’s the truth.

No matter what era, the nature of gossip among people doesn’t change.

Even a couple’s argument can attract the whole village to come watch the spectacle.

Xiao Cao’s clash with her mother won’t escape this fate either.

So, let’s hurry up.

The three of them rushed urgently to the destination, only to find that the big scene had already ended, and the crowd was dispersing and heading home.

Seeing Yi Chichi and the others, Wang Nan smirked, "You guys are really slow, like trying to catch a steaming pile of shit but missing it."

The three silently clutched their chests, feeling like they had been stabbed.

It was too painful!

Liu Chen asked her in a melancholy tone, "Ms. Wang, what’s the situation now?!"

"What situation, Big Mouth got scolded."

Speaking was Aunt Wen, Wen Shi’s mother.

She was beautiful, spoke softly with a gentle voice that could make anyone wish to stay lost in it.

Very appealing to those with a fondness for nice voices.

Aunt Wen, who saw through Yi Chichi and the others’ nature as gossipers, showed disdain in her eyes, "Big Mouth had her eye on the Qian family’s boy’s dowry."

"Is she providing a bride price then?"

Liu Chen smoothly continued the conversation, not at all surprised why Qian Ping’an, a man, should have a dowry, staying quite calm.

His mind was entirely about matching the dowry with the bride price.

So, he was eager to know the answer.

Yi Chichi and the others felt the same, but given their understanding of Big Mouth, they were sure there would be no bride price.

As expected, Wen’s mother shook her head, "She said men don’t need a bride price, but they need a dowry, since the Qian family’s boy is becoming a live-in son-in-law."

Got it.

She wants both dowry and to despise him for being a live-in son-in-law, deservedly becoming an ox and horse for the Liu family.

Yi Chichi looked away from a stoic-faced Liu Xiaocao watching Big Mouth cry, "Did the brigade leader step in?"

"Only later."

There was newfound admiration in Wen’s mother’s eye, "Xiao Cao stood up for herself, clearly refusing Big Mouth’s demands, pointed out that she had already been separated and established a household, and except for the agreed money and grain from the separation, she wouldn’t give them a single bit of advantage."

In other words, the brigade leader and the others just came to wrap things up.

Good for her.

Ge Sujuan looked relieved, "It’s better than anything that she can stand up for herself!"

Yi Chichi deeply agreed.

And so, the matter passed, and the whole Big Mouth family, getting nothing good instead of a worse reputation, became a loathed presence wherever they went.

When Niu Niu and the other kids saw Big Mouth, they’d even call her a bad egg.

Big Mouth, pissed off, yelled at Niu Niu, which, well, was like poking a hornet’s nest.

Crying, Niu Niu ran back home to complain, leaving Aunt Ma and them fuming.

Like Liu Lan, Niu Niu was the only little girl in the family, her pampering levels unimaginable.

Aunt Ma and them couldn’t stand their cherished little girl being scolded to tears by Big Mouth.

They definitely couldn’t.

The whole family, seething with anger, went to settle scores. Having just delivered clothes to Mrs. Song and returning to the village medical room, Yi Chichi saw the family’s raging faces and caught Aunt Ma’s third daughter-in-law.

"Sufen, where are you all off to?"

"Going to settle scores with Big Mouth, that plague beat our Niu Niu."

Upon hearing this, Yi Chichi knew that with Aunt Ma and them being so protective of their kids, today wouldn’t end peacefully.

She let go decisively, "Hurry up and go."

"I’m off, Chichi, you better head back to the medical room, she’ll be looking for you soon!"

Saying this quickly, Zhou Su Fen sped off like she was on rocket-powered wheels.

Yi Chichi figured she had a point and sprinted back to the medical room.

There was still some iodine left, seemed like it was going to be used for Big Mouth.

She took out the iodine and placed it on the counter, then sat behind the counter and started reading the barefoot doctor’s manual.

Not two pages in, Big Mouth came in with painful moans and groans.

The first thing she said was—

"Yi Zhqing, I hurt all over, quickly take a look at me."

"Alright, puh..."

Yi Chichi instinctively agreed, but when she looked up and saw Big Mouth’s face, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Big Mouth shot her a dagger-like glance, "You troublesome girl (hiss) why are you (ow) so mean, I’m in this state (hiss) and you’re laughing, hurry and look at me."

She clutched her stomach, looking pained.

Yi Chichi came out from the counter, gesturing for her to sit down, then leaned in to inspect her face closely; someone had dealt quite a hit.

The whole face was a mess—abrasions, bruises, swelling—she had it all.

"Will it leave a scar?!"

After a round of examination, Yi Chichi began treating her face, gently and methodically, while Big Mouth lay back anxiously.

"... Watch your diet, avoid soy sauce and such, it’s just surface wounds."

Despite looking scary, it was only superficial.

Honestly, the abrasions weren’t as severe as the bruises and swelling.

Since only a small area was involved, it was the eye circles that were particularly noticeable, resembling a panda.

Soon, with her face treated, Yi Chichi put away the medication and was about to give some post-care instructions when Big Mouth suddenly spoke up, "Yi Zhqing, my stomach hurts, and so does here."

She pointed to her chest area, her gaze fiery with anger and a hint of embarrassment.

As for her face...

It was already messed up, and with iodine applied, it was difficult to gauge her mood by her complexion.

Thankfully, the eyes are the windows to the soul, so looking at her eyes was just as effective.

Yi Chichi glanced at her abdomen and then at her chest, sighing inwardly, Aunt Ma, you truly outdid yourself!

That move was both exquisite and cunning.

"Come on, let’s check behind the curtain."

She was seriously unreserved; once behind the curtain, she lifted up her clothes, and Yi Chichi, who had just drawn the curtain and turned to face her, blinked repeatedly, then covered her eyes with her hand.

Dear goodness, my eyes!

It burned her eyes, she wanted to cry...

"Auntie, why did you even take off your clothes?"

She complained, shielding her eyes.

Big Mouth pursed her lips at this, young people were just too shy, "What are you being so fussy about, I have what you have, no need to cover your eyes."

Indeed they both had the same, but it was an eyesore.

She didn’t want her eyes to be contaminated.

"Auntie, you had better put your clothes back on."

Her tone was very firm, with a hint of threat.

"Or else I won’t examine you, and you can go to the township hospital."

"Oh, that’s out of the question, I’ll put them on, right away."
