“You know how to neutralize snake venom?”

Widow Jin looked at Nianyang in disbelief. Everyone had lived in the same courtyard for so many years. Everyone knew that Nianyang was weak and incompetent. She was clumsy in everything she did. How could she know how to treat illnesses?

The neighbors reacted the same way as Widow Jin and questioned, “Second Daughter of the Gu Family, are you joking? When did you learn medicine?”

“Sister-in-law Jin, Doudou is poisoned by Viper Venom. If we don’t treat him in half an hour, the venom will enter his heart and lungs and cause him to go into shock. If we don’t save him now, there’s really no time. Believe me this time!” Nianyang stood quietly, her clear eyes flickering as she spoke logically.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment. Everyone’s gaze landed on Nianyang.

The girl was wearing rough clothes and looked like the timid and silly girl from before, but her eyes were so bright, as if everything was under her control, making everyone unable to help but be convinced. Could it be that she usually hid her skills well? Did she really know medicine?

At this moment, Gu Yuandao, Wang Ying, and Gu Youlan followed her to watch the commotion. When they heard Nianyang’s words, their expressions changed.

“Wretched girl, it’s someone else’s business. Why are you messing around here? Hurry up and get back to the house!” Wang Ying roared with her hands on her hips. Anyway, Nianyang had already exposed her yesterday. There was no need for her to pretend to be a good wife and mother.

“Yangyang, stop being willful. We grew up together. Don’t we know if you know medicine or not? If we delay the resuscitation time and cause Doudou to lose his life, our family won’t be able to afford it the compensaiton even if we sell the house!” Gu Youlan said loudly. She seemed to be thinking for her sister, but she was actually expressing that Nianyang was as stupid as a pig. She was just fooling around with everyone.

When Gu Yuandao heard Gu Youlan’s words, he was instantly extremely nervous. He thought that if Nianyang killed Doudou, wouldn’t their family drown in spittle? Moreover, their family’s money would be lost because of this!

Gu Yuandao said with a face full of cold sweat, “Everyone, don’t listen to my youngest daughter’s nonsense. She doesn’t know anything. She’s just spouting nonsense.”

With that, she even gave Nianyang a look. “Yangyang, it’s a matter of life and death. What does a little girl like you know about treating illnesses? Hurry up and return to the house with Dad!”

When everyone heard the Gu family’s words, their trust in Nianyang instantly dissipated. Their brains were really squeezed by the door and they almost believed Nianyang’s words. The second daughter of the Gu family was just a girl. What illness could she treat?

The neighbors were dissatisfied with Nianyang’s deception and started to criticize her. Gu Youlan felt extremely comfortable when she heard this. Gu Nianyang, oh Gu Nianyang, you’re the one who’s trying to steal the limelight. Why didn’t you look at the timing? You can’t end this now, right? You’ve lost the good impression that everyone had of you yesterday. You fool!

Faced with everyone’s criticism, Nianyang’s face was calm. She only said calmly, “Aunt Jin, what I said is true. It’s up to you to believe it or not.”

When she met Nianyang’s quiet and determined eyes, the anxiety in Aunt Jin’s heart suddenly extinguished. She could not help but want to believe her. After all, everyone was panicking at a time like this. Only Nianyang was so steady. Perhaps she was really confident?

It was a last resort!

Widow Jin gritted her teeth. “Okay, Second Daughter of the Gu Family, I’ll believe you this time!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone exploded.

“Widow Jin, don’t be rash. What illness can Gu Nianyang treat?”

“Aunt Jin, you’re taking this too lightly. The second daughter of the Gu family is still a child. She hasn’t even passed a single exam. How can she understand medicine?!”

“That’s right. We might as well hurry up and send her to the clinic. Don’t kill Doudou!”

While everyone was dissuading her, Nianyang had already quickly squatted in front of Doudou. After confirming that Doudou had been bitten by the snake in his abdomen, she quickly took off his clothes.

“Aunt Jin, get a basin of soapy water!” Nianyang instructed.

Widow Jin agreed and quickly fetched a basin. “Nianyang, what’s the point of getting soapy water?”

“Doudou has been poisoned by the snake venom. Using soapy water to wash the wound and the surrounding skin can prevent the venom from spreading and wash away the venom on the surface of the wound to prevent it from entering the wound again.” As Nianyang spoke, she finished washing the wound nimbly.

Aunt Jin and everyone else were dumbfounded. Putting aside the fact that Nianyang was telling the truth, her swift actions were definitely extraordinary.

With that, Nianyang took a knife and cut a cross-shaped incision into Doudou’s wound with the bite mark as the center. It was deep into the skin.

Then, she used her hand to repeatedly squeeze the wound from the center of Doudou’s body, forcing the venom to be expelled from the cross-shaped incision.

This scene was too bloody. Widow Jin and everyone else couldn’t help but close their eyes.

Nianyang’s squeeze lasted for about ten minutes. After the blood that was squeezed out turned from black to pure red, she finally stopped and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Aunt Jin, all the snake venom has been squeezed out. Doudou is fine.”
