90 I’ll Rip Your Tongue Out
“I’ll bear all the responsibility,” Zhao Chuchu said in such a calm manner that everyone around her had a sense of security from her voice. She turned to look at the owner. “Can you prepare a bed for me? I’ll also need hot water…”

Her orders and requests were systematic. The owner looked at the lady and instinctively followed her demand.

When he finally realized that, Zhao Chuchu had already taken the woman into a room in the medicine hall.

“Hey, owner. Isn’t the lady a little too young? How can you let her do what she wants?” the doctor asked anxiously. “What if the woman dies inside here? We’ll have to answer many questions at the county office.”

After being reminded of that, the owner got scared as well.

!!
He was worried whether such a young lady really had any medical knowledge or not.

“Could it be they are working together? You know, to scam us?” the doctor then asked.

The owner got anxious as well. “T-that’s not the case, right?”

“Are you sure? Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence for them to arrive after the young lady? Although I’m not a famous doctor, I can still tell that the pregnant woman is beyond saving. They probably think she will die anyway, so why not scam some money from us? We still have time to get rid of them. We will have a lot of explanations if the woman dies! Hurry up! Stop hesitating!”

The doctor kept urging the owner to chase Zhao Chuchu and the pregnant woman up.

He had concluded that the pregnant woman could not be saved, and there was no point in troubling himself.

If everyone were to try and save the pregnant woman, they wouldn’t be able to treat other patients.

“Hey! Owner! What is the meaning of this? We’ve been waiting here for hours! Are you telling us to wait even more until that woman gives birth? Do you want us to die?”

“How unlucky! She can die if she can’t give birth! Why come here and bother us? Does she want us to die with her?”

“I’m sure that they are working together! Maybe the man is cheating on the young lady? Could it be that the pregnant woman found out? That could be why she’s having a hard time giving birth. How shameless…”

The chatters inside the medicine hall were getting even more ridiculous.

The man focused all his attention on the room as he worried about his wife. Because of that focus, he didn’t realize that the others were ridiculing him.

That was why the people were getting even more out of control.

The owner also felt as if something was off and was hesitating if he should chase them out or not.

Just then, the cold voice of Zhao Chuchu could be heard from inside the room. “If I manage to save her, I’ll pull all of your tongues out of your mouths! If you don’t want to become mute, shut your mouth!”

A cup flew out from inside the room when she finished her threat. The cup was shot toward the door and dug deep into the wood.

The people inside the medicine hall were terrified by the scene and quieted down immediately.

Inside the room, Zhao Chuchu was using silver needles to control the woman’s heartbeat. She managed to wake the woman up and had her keep a slice of ginseng inside her mouth.

It didn’t take long for the scream of the pregnant woman to echo around the entire hall. The people could faintly hear how Zhao Chuchu instructed the woman to push the baby out.

The doctor was already covered in sweat. He could not divert his stare from the room.

The others started to get worried for the pregnant woman.

About 30 minutes later, the weak cry of a baby could be heard.

The people were all stunned. It was as if they couldn’t believe their ears.

They focused, and just as they thought, they heard a baby’s cry.

After a while, Zhao Chuchu came out of the room with a baby wrapped in a blanket in her arms. She walked to the father and said, “Congratulations. Both your wife and daughter are safe.”

The man took the baby from Zhao Chuchu with his shaky hands. Tears filled his eyes immediately.

Zhao Chuchu then turned to look at everyone inside the medicine hall. In a cold voice, she said, “So, those who were ridiculing me just a while ago, aren’t you guys supposed to apologize to me? God gave you all one mouth and two hands for a reason. God wants you to talk less and work more!”
