Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Chapter 134: Frowning with a Stern Face

——————

To solidify the maliciousness of the Wang Family’s siblings, Zhang Shanni directly scooped up her little aunt in her arms and briskly made her way to the Village Committee.

There was no other option; although there was a healthcare station in the team’s location, Qingfeng Village, being remotely nestled in the mountains in the south, didn’t have any remarkable selling points.

Remoteness signified poverty. People with a bit of connection were reluctant to come to this primitive land of the Southern Barbarians.

As a result, Qingfeng Village’s healthcare station was nothing but a formality—a place without nurses, doctors, or medicine. How could this even be called a healthcare station?

Therefore, Qingfeng Village’s healthcare station was just a small room next to the office of the Village Committee.

It was after some thought that the Qingshan Team asked Wang Guicai to voluntarily take on the role [compensated, but meagerly, as treatment was paid for with goods] – usually, Wang Guicai was either gathering herbs in the mountains or preparing medicine. Apart from making house calls for medical treatment, he usually stayed in the Village Committee office to manage the healthcare station, or chatted with the old cadres.

Wang Guicai originally agreed to ’stoop to’ this because it allowed him to frequently stay in the same environment as the village cadres, give face to the Qingshan Team and casually improve his public image.

Although the old mothers and children in the village disliked Wang Guicai’s ’greed’ immensely, they were also thankful that he was willing to settle in Qingfeng Village, providing medical care and diagnosis to its people.

Dislike mixed with gratitude, which was actually a product of poverty. Even though some villagers privately called him ’Wang Lao Cai’ out of anger, Wang Guicai was aware of it, but what could he do?

With a wife incapable of farming, and overly coddled son and daughter, if he didn’t thicken his face, how could he properly feed and care for his family of four? Wang Guicai knew what was most important when weighing gain and loss.

Later, as he grew accustomed to it, Wang Guicai scoffed at being referred to as ’greedy’ by others: As long as his ’black heart’ ensured the well-being and stability of his family, what did it matter if he was ’greedy’?

Perhaps he hadn’t realized it, but it was exactly because of this ’selfish’ mentality that his children followed suit, recklessly speeding down the wrong path...

Zhang Shanni, holding her little aunt with such a light weight, felt no burden at all while running quite fast. The person following her was gasping for breath to keep up with Zhang Shanni’s pace.

"Excuse me, please!" With a great leap, Zhang Shanni suddenly strode into the Village Committee. A sweep of her spiritual power, and she instantly spotted her father-in-law sitting beneath a banyan tree on one side, leisurely smoking a bamboo pipe, occasionally chatting with an elder beside him—

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately shouted: "Dad, come quickly and get someone to see what’s wrong with San’er’s daughter!"

"Thump!"

Startled by the voice of his third son’s wife, Xie Tiesheng looked up to see her holding his little girl and shouting at him, causing him to jump to his feet so startled that he dropped his pipe and didn’t even mind it, staggered for a moment, but rushed forward anxiously, touching his daughter’s little face and asked in panic: "San’er’s daughter, San’er’s daughter, Third Son’s Wife, what’s happened?"

"Dad, don’t panic, let’s find someone to check on San’er’s daughter first!" Zhang Shanni, seeing her father-in-law shaking, passed by him and walked inside. Hearing this, Xie Tiesheng hurriedly led her to a small room: "This way, the healthcare station is over here..."

"Dr. Wang, don’t be busy, please come quickly and have a look at my San’er’s daughter!" Xie Tiesheng burst into the health room, saw Wang Guicai arranging medicinal herbs, and led Zhang Shanni to place the girl on the only bed in the room. While helping his third son’s wife arrange for the little daughter to lie down on the single bed, he shouted loudly.

"Ei, ei~ Brother Tiesheng, don’t worry, I am checking on my little niece right now." Wang Guicai cooperatively took hold of Xie Jingzi’s wrist to feel her pulse as soon as Zhang Shanni set her down firmly.

But as soon as he touched her pulse, Wang Guicai frowned, his face somber and eyebrows knitted together.
