Chapter 32: Chapter 032 It’s another scammer (Part 11)

Boom!

He Family Village’s Eight Trigrams hot search list exploded!

"Have you heard? The girl the He Family raised for seventeen years, she isn’t Seo Xiulan’s biological daughter!"

"My, I’ve heard about it ages ago. I also heard that back when Seo Xiulan’s grandma passed away, relatives from the city came for the funeral, and just so happened that her cousin gave birth on the same day, and they ended up mixing up the babies!"

"Really? It sounds just like something out of a play."

"Of course it’s true! I always felt that He Zixuan, although well-behaved, didn’t resemble the He Family at all!"

"That’s right, the He Family’s biological daughter, named Tiantian, I’ve seen her. Tsk, her eyes and eyebrows, she’s the spitting image of He Dazhuang’s aunt who ended up as someone’s mistress!"

"No wonder, no wonder I thought Seo Xiulan was too harsh on Zixuan, turns out she’s not her real daughter!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn’t Seo Xiulan good enough to Zixuan? She fully supported a girl to attend school all the way through to middle school. There are only two girls in our village who went to middle school, one is Zixuan, and the other is the big team leader’s daughter!"

"Exactly! Everyone says it was an accident, Seo Xiulan also didn’t know that the girl she raised wasn’t her own biological daughter!"

There’s a dearth of entertainment these days, and rural areas are even more severely lacking in cultural activities.

So just a bit of news would spread all over the village.

He Tiantian hadn’t been back for two hours when the legendary story of the children’s mix-up between the He and Zhou Families regarding her origins had everyone in the village in an uproar.

Although some people acted with hindsight like Zhuge Liang, saying they always noticed something off about Seo Xiulan’s attitude towards Zhou Zixuan, suspecting there might be more to the story of the swapped children.

But, more people still sided with Seo Xiulan.

For the same reason: no matter what, Seo Xiulan supported Zhou Zixuan, a girl, to attend school and even helped her take the college entrance exams.

Although some said that Zhou Zixuan was able to attend school mainly because she was smart and well-behaved, winning over Grandpa He and Granny He who quietly provided money for her tuition and fees.

But that’s not important, what’s important is that Seo Xiulan was Zixuan’s mother, and if she had been adamantly opposed, then no matter how much support she got from Grandpa He and Granny He, it wouldn’t have been possible.

Sometimes, in the countryside, parents not objecting is a form of support!

So, rounding up, it’s still Seo Xiulan’s merit that Zixuan was able to attend school.

"Student Xiao D, I think that Zhou Zixuan wrote about the college entrance exams in the book solely to create an opportunity for He Tiantian to impersonate her."

Through Student Xiao D, He Tiantian learned about the village’s public opinion.

She analyzed with Student Xiao D, "She just wants to highlight my malice as He Tiantian and my real mother Seo Xiulan’s wickedness, yet she overlooks the predominant gender discrimination of rural areas in the seventies."

Regardless of how Zhou Zixuan had previously portrayed Seo Xiulan’s top-grade quality and He Tiantian’s greed, just the fact that Zhou Zixuan could participate in the college entrance exams could totally whitewash Seo Xiulan!

"...The real-life Zhou Zixuan is also a middle school student, living comfortably with a simple environment. Her knowledge of society’s complexities and humanity’s wickedness also comes merely through literature or platforms like posts on social media sites."

"And she was just casually scribbling, not seriously contemplating a piece of work—"

He Tiantian grimaced numbly, "So, such a haphazardly written thing can actually create a Small World?!" And it dragged her straight into it, to personally experience what it’s like to be a villain?!

Seeing He Tiantian angry, Student Xiao D quickly laughed, trying to lighten the mood, "Well, you becoming a writer, entering into the book’s Small World, also has its perks!"

"Every time you complete a Small World, Dian Niang Book Library will reward you with points, which you can use to redeem prizes!"

"Oh right, and, the knowledge you acquire in the book’s Small World will also belong to you."

For example, the "Urban Immortal Doctor" Skill that the Dian Niang Book Library awarded He Tiantian in the last world was indeed a Consumable Type Skill, gone after one use.

But the knowledge He Tiantian gained on her own through hard work in medical school, as well as the skills learned during her residency and internships at the hospital, Dian Niang Book Library would not take back.

The reason He Tiantian dared to suggest to Zhou Chuanguo that she work at the health clinic was precisely because she had this foundation to rely on.

She really was proficient in medicine, capable of both traditional Chinese and Western medical practices.

However, her current level was not as miraculous as the "Urban Immortal Doctor," but in real life, it was enough to make her an outstanding doctor.

"So, Tiantian, the Small Worlds in the books are essentially giving you countless lives. In each life, you can learn any skill you wish to!"

Time truly is the most precious wealth of mankind.

Having become a writer, Tiantian now had the opportunity to time-travel through the worlds within books, allowing her to experience different lives and learn various skills countless times.

This sort of time-traveling was, in itself, a huge Golden Finger for Tiantian, an ordinary girl in reality.

Not to mention, Dian Niang Book Library also offered a wide array of magical and precious awards redeemable with points.

"Tiantian, work hard on your scripts to earn more points. Your future will definitely be splendid and joyful!"

Student Xiao D turned into a salesperson, zealously endorsing, brainwashing, and pepping her up!

But Tiantian still had a numb look on her face and reminded him indifferently, "Student Xiao D, my parents sell health products. I’m a ’Scam Second Generation!’"

Laying on the flattery and firing up someone from the health product industry—how quaint, Student Xiao D, are you sure you’re a smart assistant and not intellectually challenged?

"I know you’re scolding me! You’re calling me stupid again!"

Student Xiao D began to whine, his snow-white fluff turning dull and lusterless.

Tiantian ignored Student Xiao D’s antics and went back to the He Family, starting to have a heartfelt conversation with Seo Xiulan.

"You silly child, you are so useless. You even came back halfway after leaving for the Provincial City by train! You’re just like your worthless biological father – too cowardly and weak to handle any serious matters!"

With no one else around, Seo Xiulan started to poke Tiantian’s head with her finger.

Tiantian dodged lightly, "If I had truly gone to the Capital City and used He Zixuan’s name to attend university, my life would really be over!"

Seo Xiulan was caught off guard, Zhou Zixuan’s angry and satisfied face inevitably appearing in her mind.

"He Zixuan... oh no, Zhou Zixuan, she, she—" Something’s fishy.

Seo Xiulan had raised the child herself; although she did not like He Zixuan, she still knew she was a well-behaved and obedient child.

Even towards Seo Xiulan, who was not the most amiable real mother, He Zixuan held a lot of admiration and respect.

But on that day, Zhou Zixuan was like a completely different person, her eyes filled with disgust and disdain when looking at Seo Xiulan.

As if standing in front of her was not her mother, but, but a despicable person, a lowlife, a pile of foul-smelling dog excrement.

Seo Xiulan had always been adept at reading people, and Zhou Zixuan made no attempt to hide her feelings, so Seo Xiulan’s gut feelings were very clear and profound.

Although she did not know why, Seo Xiulan was aware that Zhou Zixuan hated her, as well as Tiantian.

Now that the truth was out, and the children went their separate ways, although Seo Xiulan was reluctant to admit it, she had to acknowledge that Tiantian’s decision to return and confess was indeed the wisest course of action.

"...Even if you don’t go to university, staying with the Zhou Family would be fine too! I see that Zhou Chuanguo quite likes you. He’s capable and has connections. He could arrange a job for you and find you a good family to marry into—"

Seo Xiulan was still dissatisfied with Tiantian’s decision to come back to He Family Village.

"Mom, the more we rely on favor, the less we have of it! If we really need to use it, it should be on the cutting edge," Tiantian mysteriously asserted.

Seo Xiulan, shrewd and savvy, instantly grasped the main point: "You mean—"

Just then, the village head, having finished dinner, strolled over to the He Family’s house, "He Dazhuang’s family, I’ve heard your precious daughter Tiantian has returned? She can treat illnesses and give injections? Our health clinic’s Dr. Liu left, so it’s perfect for your girl to take over."

"Also, there’s a spot for barefoot doctor training at the Provincial City’s Second Hospital. It’s yours for the taking!"
