Reversing the Cards on Villain Chapter 7

"As long as the mother and child are safe, we can talk about the future later." The woman next to him said, "Jian, how did you do it? Even Mrs. Wang said there was no way. You actually did it."

Mary smiled faintly: "It's God's gift! It must be natural!"

The clan leader had a complicated expression: "Anyway, this incident is all thanks to you. You saved them and their son. You are the benefactor of Huo Song's family and a hero of our village."

"Just don't let me drown in the pig cage again. I don't care whether I am a hero or not. Well, you guys take care of the children! I have to go back to farm."

Mary walked past the crowd and everyone took the initiative to make way for her.

At this moment, everyone's eyes on her changed.

Mary did not stay here and returned to the vegetable garden.

"Who are you?" a voice came from behind.

Mary turned around and saw Mason.

"What are you talking about? Don't you recognize me?" Mary wiped the sweat and dirt on his face.

Mason looked at her deeply.

He was still fat, no different from usual, but I felt something was wrong.

"You hid it very well. Since your medical skills are so advanced, why did you hide it from everyone?" Mason said again.

"Mr. Huo, I know medical skills. Should I spread it to the whole world and let everyone know that I know medical skills? I didn't want to say it before, but now I want to say it, is that okay? If you don't have anything else to do, please don't disturb me." Mary squatted down again.

Mason turned and left.

Mary listened to the footsteps getting farther and farther away and let out a sigh of relief.

Today's events were indeed a bit risky, but I can't just stand by and watch someone die, right?

If the villagers really wanted to investigate, she would say that she knew medicine, but she had been living a life of idleness and waiting to die, and had no intention of living a good life. Now she has figured it out, so she wants to live a good life.

When Mary was walking home with the basket on her back, people passing by greeted her.

"Hua'er Niang, what vegetables did you grow? Do you need any seeds? If you do, I have some."

"Hua'er mother, I have some radish sprouts at home. I'll send them to you later."

Mary was somewhat uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of these people.

"No thanks. I have some seedlings here, no thanks."

"You haven't grown vegetables in these years, where did you get the seedlings? Come on, don't be polite to us."

Mary laughed dryly: "Really not necessary."

Is it okay to continue to be as indifferent as in the past few days? He was suddenly so enthusiastic towards her that he was a little overwhelmed.

In fact, in ancient times, women practicing medicine were considered lowly. The existence of female doctors was to facilitate the diagnosis of women. After all, there is a difference between men and women. Among the nobles, female doctors were looked down upon.

But among the common people, being sick is a big deal. If there is someone who knows medicine around, I don't know how many people would want to have a good relationship with her. This is why their attitude changed.

After returning home, Eli came back.

"Mom." Eli looked at her weakly. "I picked up some firewood."

Mary looked at the dry firewood placed under the eaves and said in surprise: "Hua'er is great. But where did you pick it up? On the mountain? Don't go there anymore. The mountain is too dangerous."

"I went with Mr. Huo, so it wasn't very dangerous." Seeing that Mary really stopped scolding her, Eli spoke more boldly. "Mom, when I came back just now, I met Aunt Wang and others. They said that you know medical skills and have cured people. Is that true?"

"Yes, that's right!" Mary put down the backpack and went into the house to wash her hands.

"Then can you check up on Grandma Yu next door? Her health has been poor and Mr. Huo is very worried about her." Eli looked at her expectantly.

Mary looked back at the yard next door: "Is this what you meant, or what did Mr. Huo mean?"

Eli looked at Mary blankly: "That's what I meant. Is it not okay?"

Mary touched Eli and said, "No. You have this intention, which shows that you are a kind person. But you don't have the final say on this matter. It has to be said by Mr. Huo."

"Why?" Eli was puzzled.

"He doesn't like me. I'm trying to please him, as if I have some purpose. When he really needs my help, he will come to me in person. I won't refuse his help then." Mary said, "Aren't you going to come over tonight? If not, I'll make you something delicious. They also sent me some food today."

Eli is very smart. Otherwise, he would not have found Mason as a backer after being killed by the original owner at such a young age. You know, Mason is not a person who is easily soft-hearted.

Hearing Mary say this, he seemed to understand something. And Mary's expression also made him realize that he couldn't persuade her, so he might as well wait for the opportunity she mentioned.

In the next yard, Yu walked towards Mason who was standing in the corner of the yard with a cane.

"Chen'er, why don't you see Hua'er today?"

Mason supported Yu and said, "I didn't call him."

"Aren't you afraid that his stepmother will beat him? Calling her over earlier will save him from physical pain." Yu said.

"Mom, Jian...seems a little different." Mason told Yu what happened today.

Yu was surprised when she heard this: "Could it be that a blind cat has encountered a dead mouse? Everyone in our village knows how capable Jian is. How could that lazy woman have such ability?"

"This is what I find strange. Ever since she was about to be put into the pig cage that day, Jian's temperament has changed drastically. During this period, she not only cleaned up the house, but also never beat Eli. I didn't call Eli over today because I wanted to see if Jian would relapse. If she continues to be like this in the future, it will be a good thing for Huaer. After all, we can't protect him forever."

"You have a point. Let's wait and see!" Yu said, "But you have to pay attention to the movements next door. If Jian goes crazy, you have to save Hua'er."
