Chapter 92: Chapter 50 The Infamous Doctor_2

Seeing their adamant claims, Wang’s wife was convinced even more. She knee-walked a few steps to Gu Changsheng, “Pa pa pa…” and began to knock her head on the ground, while admitting her errors, “Thank you, Lady Changsheng, Divine Doctor, thank you for not holding the past against us and saving my husband, the pig butcher. It’s my own ignorance. Please forgive me, Lady, please…”

The sound of Wang’s wife’s head knocking on the ground caught the attention of those around her.

Did Lady Changsheng really save Butcher Wang’s life?

Those were not ordinary injuries; his guts were spilling out, and blood was pouring like a fountain. Could he really be saved? Surely that’s something only the Great Luo Immortals could do?

“Enough, stop knocking. You’re not proving anything to my floor. Xiao Cui, take her to change her clothes and visit Butcher Wang,” Gu Changsheng was quite amenable to the family members of patients who understood the situation.

Xiao Cui obeyed, helping Wang’s wife up, and with her profuse thanks, led her away.

Hu Yihai hesitated for a moment, just about to step forward when Gu Changsheng waved him off, “I still have unfinished business, go do what you need to do.”

The surgery was over, and those three, along with Elder Xu, not only refused to leave but also took up residence in the guest rooms of her backyard. And now they even acted as nurses. This was really quite shameless!

Hu Yihai looked sympathetically at the people in the main hall and then took the lead to retreat—not leaving the medical hall but returning to the backyard.

Gu Changsheng watched the departing group speechlessly, rather distressed by the thought of her home’s provisions. They were definitely planning to freeload meals from her!

“Lady Changsheng, since Butcher Wang is fine, then I… I and others, will take our leave…” One of the neighbors who had followed Old Lady Wang here spoke up bravely, looking extremely cautious.

“Hmph!” Gu Changsheng snorted coldly, “You strut around and now want to run away? Do you think you can get off that easily?”

“What do you think my medical hall is, a marketplace? You think you can come and go as you please and bother me for no reason?” Gu Changsheng straightened her skirt as she stood up, a defiant look in her eyes, “Even if Butcher Wang were okay today, and you came here without provocation, even if Butcher Wang truly died in my medical hall, I wouldn’t allow you to bully me at my doorstep!”

“Lady… what do you mean by that?” The crowd collectively took a step back, especially Old Lady Wang, who backed away faster.

“The masses bustle about, all for the sake of gain. If you want the reputation of justice, you must be prepared for the inevitable defeat,” Gu Changsheng stood there, watching them retreat with cold eyes and continued to talk, “Upon seeing Butcher Wang injured and Old Lady Wang crying pitifully, you all descended on my threshold with an overwhelming force. Did you ever consider that I am but a widow, a lone woman with my own household to defend?”

“With your overwhelming numbers, relying on the notion that there is no blame in the multitude, you bully me, insult me, belittle me, demean me. Do you believe that I will just swallow my pride and endure these hidden losses? That I will let you gain a reputation for being good neighbors, upholding righteousness, and fulfilling Old Lady Wang’s wishes and ambitions?”

“Let me tell you, as life grows stronger, it should not just be endured. In the dictionary of my life, Gu Changsheng, there is no such word as ‘enduring humiliation’!”

“The Heavens are merciful, yet there are still natural disasters and human calamities. How can you expect me, a mere woman, to redeem all living beings?”

“Those who bully me, perish! Those who insult me, be annihilated! Those who belittle me, be slaughtered! Those who demean me, live a life worse than death!”

“That is me, Gu Changsheng. You can fear me, avoid me, shun me. I can stand alone. But I will not tolerate being bullied, insulted, belittled, or demeaned. Given this, what makes you think you can leave unscathed?”

Having said her piece, Gu Changsheng leaped up, the embodiment of fierce self-respect. The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Uncle Song and Xiao Cui stood agape, amidst the rising cries of pain, interspersed with the soft counting of their mistress.

“One, two, three…”

One by one, figures were tossed high into the air, then thrown out of the medical hall’s main entrance.

Regardless of gender, all were dealt with equally, none spared.

“Seventeen!” After throwing the last one, Gu Changsheng stood at the entrance, steadying herself beautifully, and adjusted her clothing, “This is what happens to those who bully me. Considering you didn’t know my temper, this is a minor punishment as a warning. I only let you suffer some physical harm to settle this matter. But if you dare to do this again, regardless of who you are, I, Gu Changsheng, will surely take your life!”

About twenty people were thrown out of the medical hall, their cries of pain carried far away. The entire Tongji Street was soon crowded with onlookers.

This Lady Changsheng was truly arrogant!

“Gu Changsheng! Hold your tongue! We were just following Old Lady Wang to ask for justice, and you dare use violence against us!” shouted someone, standing up with an injured arm, cursing discontentedly, “Such a woman as you deserves to be divorced, a sheer shrew!”@@novelbin@@

“Shrew? I’m not good at hurling insults, I prefer the most straightforward way to resolve problems. If you question whether or not I speak arrogantly, you are welcome to try,” Gu Changsheng retorted with disdain.

“You harpy! Deserving of divorce!” Old Lady Wang, supporting her old waist, staggered to her feet, without anyone to help her.

Ironically, she was the most pitiful, with the most swollen and bruised face. Han Qiu gave her a glance; these were indeed the standard consequences of her mistress’s handiwork.

The mistress had said, if you’re going to hit someone, hit their face; it’s about maintaining a high standard!

Other body parts are invisible and irrelevant, hitting them doesn’t give the same sense of achievement!

“Deserving of divorce, harpy!” the injured crowd chorused resentfully.

“Deserving of remaining unmarried!”

“Deserving of divorce; remaining unmarried; it serves you right!” The voices overlapped.

“None of your business!”

Gu Changsheng was about to retort, but a cold voice from behind halted her, and she found herself unable to make a sound, mouth agape.
