"Humph, everyone in the village knows about the reputation my grandmother has built over the years. If she were the kind of person to do such detestable things for small gains, she wouldn't have her reputation today!" The young man from the Ji family said this and didn't wait for Bai Ruozhu's reaction. He turned and left.
Bai Ruozhu stood still, suddenly feeling uncomfortable deep down.
By the time Lin Ping'er rushed out after hearing the noise, the young man had already left. Bai Zehao repeated what he had said to his mother, who angrily replied: "What does Ji Wenpo mean? Is she so influential that no other midwife can treat my Ruozhu? Does she think she can cover the sky with one hand?"
Bai Ruozhu patted her mother's shoulder and said, "Mother, don't worry just yet. Perhaps it was just the young man speaking out of anger. Even if it was true, we could find another midwife in town. It might cost us a bit more silver, but we can afford it at this point."
