Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 26

JEALOUSY

If it were not for Ni Yang’s interference, she would already be taking Guobao to the clinic now! How could it be delayed till now.

Ni Yang glanced up at the elderly woman, soothing her with a warm voice, “Don’t worry, Guobao is OK. He’ll wake up soon.”

No sooner had Ni Yang’s words dropped when the child’s consciousness began to gradually recover and his face turned ruddy. Ni Yang pulled back her hand, then took out a tissue she was carrying and carefully wiped off the froth from the child’s mouth.

Upon seeing this, the crowd displayed varied expressions. No one had imagined that Ni Yang really had some skills.

The crowd, which had been enjoying the spectacle, quietened down abruptly.

“Just a fluke?” A sarcastic voice rang out from the crowd.

The speaker was a young girl named Wang Hongxiu, about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was pretty attractive with her clear eyes and was considered a belle in the village.

Before Ni Yang arrived, she was the prettiest woman in Jinghua Village.

But since Ni Yang showed up, Ni Yang was more beautiful than her, wealthier than her, and all the attention of the village was on Ni Yang. Her limelight was wholly stolen! She naturally had a grudge against Ni Yang.

A lot of unfavorable rumors emanated from Wang Hongxiu.

Once she spoke, others immediately nodded and echoed it.

Nothing but a teenager, what could she possibly know? They, with their wealth of life experience, couldn’t possibly be outdone by a kid, could they?

Ni Yang was not concerned with all these, she only cared that Guobao was safe. She helped the child sit up, and only then did the elderly woman notice the bloody bite marks on Ni Yang’s hand which Guobao had made.

The old lady spoke nervously, “Dear girl, you’re not hurt, are you? We agreed beforehand that you voluntarily put your hand in Guobao’s mouth, I didn’t force you.”

Some things must be clarified. Ni Yang was a outsider. Why is she helping her grandson out of the blue? There must be something she wants! The old woman feared being conned.

“No worries,” Ni Yang said lightly with a smile, “It’s no big deal. You don’t have to worry about it.”

The old woman sighed with relief. She thought that Ni Yang would make a big deal out of it, after all, getting bitten by someone was no small matter.

She asked again, “So, is Guobao alright now?”

Ni Yang nodded, “Yes, he’s alright for now.” Although he was fine at the moment, without proper treatment, the illness would surely relapse in the future.

Just as she finished speaking, the child in her arms suddenly opened his eyes. He first looked at the old woman, then at Ni Yang, asking in confusion, “Grandma, what happened to me?”

During an epileptic seizure, one experiences temporary memory loss.

The child was suffering from epilepsy, commonly referred to as ‘madness disease,’ causing a loss of consciousness, convulsions, and frothing at the mouth during an episode. Ni Yang had earlier put her hand in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue, unbuttoned his shirt, and lifted his lower jaw to prevent suffocation.
