Chapter 293: Chapter 292: The Inner Heart Turmoil of the Village Chief_1

For most of the day, Su Pan’er had been ceaselessly providing vaccinations. By the time the afternoon came to an end, she hadn’t even taken a sip of water.

Looking up, she saw that night had completely fallen, and the crowd that had gathered outside her clinic hadn’t lessened, but had instead continued to grow.

Even though Jun Ruochen had dispatched some government employees early in the afternoon to help maintain order, the crowd arriving to be vaccinated was more congested than ever.

Seeing more and more people joining the line, Jun Ruochen hurriedly instructed the government employees at his side.

"Everyone please calm down, let’s quiet down for a moment!"

A government employee stepped forward and loudly addressed the crowd: "Fellow villagers, it’s getting late. Those who haven’t been given the cowpox vaccine yet can come back early tomorrow. Everyone please do not push or shove, we guarantee that Doctor Su will vaccinate everyone."

His speech ended, but the crowd showed no reaction.

The ones lining up continued to line up, and the ones waiting continued to wait.

"Villagers, Doctor Su is also a human! She needs rest too. If we exhaust her, we won’t have anyone to administer the cowpox vaccines!"

The same employee frowned and spoke again.

Su Pan’er lifted her head, only then realizing how late it was!

Having worked all afternoon, she was so exhausted, she urgently needed a trip to the latrine.

She stretched out her hand to wipe her sweat with a warm towel prepared by Qin Yi, stood up, and smiled, "It’s getting dark now, those waiting, why don’t you come back tomorrow?"

As soon as she said that, those lined up immediately raised objections.

"Doctor Su, we are only a few people away, please just see a few more. It will only take a moment."

"Exactly! Saving people’s lives is as urgent as putting out a fire. Who can assure us that we won’t contract smallpox overnight? Please vaccinate a few more!"

"Doctor Su, if it’s really not possible, can we pay you a consultation fee? Doctor Su, please, just see a few more patients!"

"..."

The pleas were continuous.

And it wasn’t surprising: Su Pan’er had been vaccinating the villagers for free.

Su Pan’er found this situation somewhat amusing.

"Everyone calm down, I never planned on collecting any coins. It’s not that I am not fond of money. I’ve grown up on this land and naturally don’t want to see my fellow villagers experiencing loss and grief. My only hope is that by getting vaccinated, everyone stays healthy and doesn’t fall ill."

"Then Doctor Su, please see a few more patients! Just a few more!"

The crowd continued to agitate.

"Could it be that Doctor Su looks down upon the rest of us, and so is deliberately stalling so we contract the plague, and she won’t have to vaccinate us?"

A sudden, discordant voice emerged.

This voice... sounded very familiar!

Su Pan’er swept over the crowd and immediately located the source of the voice.

Upon seeing who it was, her eyes narrowed slightly.

The speaker was none other than Village Chief Jia Zheng, who had just been released from prison a few days ago.

Su Pan’er squinted at him, her lips curling into a cold smile: "I should’ve known, it’s you, Chief! I’m surprised you’re out so soon. Just a few days ago you were in prison. It seems you really were wrongly accused!"

"You...Doctor Su, there’s no need to engage in any diversionary tactics."

Jia Zheng was incredibly frustrated and torn!

After he and Jia Jing had been taken to the county government office by Hwa Diexiang, they spent a lot of money to finally get an audience with Su Sikong.

Truth be told, he and Su Sikong were practically in the same boat.

When he landed in trouble, Su Sikong couldn’t simply ignore him.

However, Su Sikong made him wait several days in jail before finally showing up. As soon as he laid eyes on him, Su Sikong unleashed a barrage of insults.

"You were tasked with a small matter, and you still managed to screw it up. Now I, your superior, have to handle your mess. What use are you?"

"Tomorrow I’ll go clear things up a bit more, then prioritize saving my own skin. You can pay some fines and get out in a few days! After you’re out, don’t cause me any more trouble, otherwise... Hmph!"

"You still want to save your precious son? That involves a human life! You better think carefully, whether you want to get out yourself, or want that dear son of yours to get out? You better consider it well...."

Those sarcastic words from Su Sikong were still vividly in his mind.

Thinking about the wasted money and his only son still trapped in jail, his hatred increased by a bit. But for the sake of his own life, he had to swallow his pride and beg this damn girl.

How he hated it!

But this hatred had no place to vent.

Hearing Su Pan’er’s words, hatred and anger could no longer be suppressed and surged upward. How could he hold back?

That bit of sarcasm just slipped out of his mouth.

As soon as he said it, he realized his mistake! This mischievous girl was really cunning, and she could recognize him even when he hid in the crowd.

Seeing the County Magistrate watching him, he had to consider the opinions of the officials, had he not?

Helpless, he had to stand his ground and defend himself.

"Su Pan’er, we are talking about you not vaccinating people against smallpox, don’t try to pin this on me. Doctor Su, are you trying to drag me into this in order to avoid vaccinating everyone?"

His face was already lost, and he must get this vaccine no matter what.

As long as he was alive, there would be plenty of ways to deal with this Little Mistress.

"What is Village Chief talking about? People have to use the bathroom. Can I, Su Pan’er, not even go to the latrine after sitting all afternoon?"

She is going to the latrine!

Everyone relaxed at once, as long as she wasn’t stopping the vaccinations, anything was okay.

"Fine, it’s acceptable! As long as Doctor Su doesn’t run away halfway, it doesn’t matter!"

The village chief continued to mock and jeer.

But when he raised his eyes and saw the County Magistrate at the head of the table staring at him with a cold gaze, he couldn’t help but shudder.

Damn it! When did this mischievous girl get on good terms with the County Magistrate and run into such good luck? Hmph!

"So, Village Chief, are you really not going to let me, Su Pan’er, go to the latrine? Or am I, Su Pan’er, now a prisoner, without even the freedom to drink water or walk around? Village Chief is really capable, don’t you think you’re overstepping your boundaries a bit?"

The sarcasm on Su Pan’er’s face intensified.

The crowd burst into laughter.

But under the stern gaze of the village chief, they all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

"Eh! Doctor Su, aren’t you in emergency? Why aren’t you going quickly? We’re all waiting for you."

The village chief said seriously.

Glancing at the village chief, full of mockery, Su Pan’er gave a cold laugh. Some people really don’t know when to stop. She didn’t have time to deal with him at the moment, and returned to her room before ducking into the latrine at the back.

"Doctor Su."

When she came out of the latrine, she was surprised to see Jun Ruochen leaning against the door.

"Did Lord Jun get lost? The latrine is just up ahead."

"No, I have something to say to you."

Jun Ruochen shook his head, looking thoughtful.

Su Pan’er was full of curiosity: "I don’t know what Lord Jun has to say, please speak clearly."

"I have decided to submit a memorial to the Imperial Court. It will detail the contributions you, Doctor Su, have made in treating the sick and saving lives. In time, the Imperial Court will surely reward you, and they may even widely publicize your deeds. You see... "

Jun Ruochen hesitated, stammering.
