Chapter 13 Is there anything she can’t achieve? !

Chang Meili was so furious at Chang Suisui that she was practically fuming! That damn Chang Suisui! She was doing it on purpose!

“I didn’t, I…” Chang Suisui shot Chang Meili a disappointed glance, then turned to the village doctor and said, “Even though Comrade Li’s condition isn’t too serious anymore, she should still be sent to the town hospital quickly to get antivenom serum.”

The village doctor nodded, shot Chang Meili a look, and then gave a small nod to Chang Suisui before instructing the others to carry Li Chunhua away.

“Comrade Chang, I didn’t expect you to actually know how to treat people!”

“Yeah, yeah! Comrade Chang, what kind of herbs did you use just now? Even the village doctor praised your work!”

“You can tell she’s a kind-hearted person. Even though Comrade Li made things hard for her before, she still helped save her life!”

…

The aunts around her were showering her with praise, nearly turning Chang Suisui into a blooming flower. She tugged at the corner of her mouth with a modest smile and said, “I just read about it in some books. After all, my cousin went to medical school—I figured I should at least understand a little.”

She deliberately emphasized that point to dig at Chang Meili. The aunts’ praise for Chang Suisui immediately turned into disdain for Chang Meili.

“She went to medical school, and she’s worse than someone who just read a few books…”

“I always thought little Comrade Chang kept a low profile, didn’t expect she’d be this capable.”

“Poor girl, she’s been through a lot…”

…

Chang Suisui gave a bitter little smile and stood there silently, perfectly playing the part of someone who “has grievances but won’t speak about them.”

She was quite satisfied seeing Chang Meili’s face turn as purple as pig’s liver from anger, and only then did she dismiss the crowd of gossipy aunts.

But Chang Meili remained rooted in place, staring at her with a cold, fixed gaze.

Chang Suisui couldn’t help but sneer. “What’s the matter? Done hauling manure yet?”

Chang Meili instantly clenched her fists. But remembering how fierce Chang Suisui had been when beating people, she could only glare through gritted teeth. “Chang Suisui, I won’t let you get away with this!”

“???”

Chang Suisui looked genuinely baffled. Get away with what? Ha! Even things she shouldn’t have gotten away with, she still had—multiple times. What couldn’t she get away with?

Seeing Chang Suisui’s smug face, Chang Meili couldn’t hold back her hatred anymore and shouted, “Brother Jianguo will never marry you!”

In this lifetime, she had already gotten a head start with Xie Jianguo. Chang Suisui didn’t stand a chance now! Her chin lifted proudly, but just as she was basking in her triumph, she heard Chang Suisui’s disgusted voice:

“Have you hauled so much manure your brain’s filled with shit? Just because you like it doesn’t mean everyone wants to eat it too!”

Xie Jianguo? What was so great about him?! He only achieved success because of the favors Xie Yu granted others. Once he was on top, he was desperate to erase Xie Yu’s existence. He constantly guilt-tripped the original Suisui over their arranged marriage. And in the end? He still painted himself as some tragic romantic hero.

Pfft! If he was so devoted, why didn’t he refuse to marry her in the first place? Two-faced hypocrite! Sickening!

So, the heavens let Chang Meili be reborn? That wasn’t meaningless—clearly, it was so she and that scumbag could be tied together in misery forever!

“Chang Suisui! You’re a girl! How dare you speak so crudely!” Chang Meili jumped on the chance like she’d found her moral high ground, looking ready to denounce Suisui with righteous fury.

Chang Suisui rolled her eyes so hard they almost flipped backward. She bent down, picked up a willow branch from the ground, and pointed it at Chang Meili.

“You’re a girl—how come you have a mouth then? Want me to make you cry for your mommy and daddy right now?”

“Y-You better not!” Chang Meili recalled how Suisui had whipped Zhao Hang earlier and started trembling all over. She slowly backed away—then suddenly turned and bolted off across the rice dike.

“Chang Suisui, just you wait!” Her voice echoed back from afar, nearly making Suisui burst into laughter. This kind of coward, trying to throw threats? Where did she even get the nerve? Her spirit spring space?

Oh—smack—the spirit spring’s gone!

Feeling great, Chang Suisui went back to her spot in the field and resumed her battle with the weeds.

Meanwhile, Chang Meili had run off to a secluded grove where no one was around. She found a large tree thick enough for one person to wrap their arms around, then slipped into her space.

She hadn’t entered the space since the day Suisui beat her up. Not that she didn’t want to, but last night after being thrown in the cattle shed, Xie Jianguo had come to see her. She was too worn out afterward, and with him there, she didn’t get a chance. Then this morning she got dragged off to haul manure, so there was no opportunity again.

As soon as she entered the space, she rushed straight to the spirit spring. But what greeted her was a patch of damp earth—where a small pool of water used to be, now there was nothing. It had inexplicably dried up.

No wonder she couldn’t draw any spirit spring water earlier.

Chang Meili started to panic. Without the spring water, how was she going to secure the village doctor position? There wasn’t time to learn medicine from scratch—and the recruitment for an assistant was coming soon.

Staring at the damp soil, she began to dig with her hands. Even if there was no water left, maybe there was still some spring mud—anything was better than nothing.

She carefully wrapped the wet mud in a cloth pouch and hung it up, then placed a bowl underneath to collect any drops of spirit spring water. She didn’t know when it would return to normal, but with supply limited, she had to use it wisely.

Since she had failed to impress the village doctor by saving Li Chunhua, she would have to try another route. She remembered that aside from the doctor, the village head also had some say in who got the job.

If she couldn’t win the doctor over, she’d go for the village head instead. She was sure her Jianguo would help her! But the village head didn’t like her right now—so she’d use the spring water to win him over.

After all, she was going to marry into his family eventually. She couldn’t afford to ruin things now. But if the village head didn’t appreciate her efforts—then he’d have no one to blame but himself!

Clenching the muddy pouch tightly, Chang Meili vowed that this time, she would trample everyone who looked down on her—especially Chang Suisui. She wanted her to suffer so much that she’d wish she were dead and her reputation would be ruined forever!

“Achoo!”

Sitting on the edge of the field, Chang Suisui suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose with the back of her hand and curled her lip.

Definitely that idiot Chang Meili discovering her spirit spring was gone and barking like a mad dog somewhere.

If she weren’t still in the middle of weeding, she’d love to sneak into the space to witness Meili’s helpless fury firsthand.

Just then, Suisui felt a shadow fall over her, blocking out the light. Someone had walked up and was now standing directly in front of her—
