Seeing that the old lady misunderstood her, An’an hurriedly explained, "Auntie, I’m telling the truth. That person really isn’t Divine Doctor Xue. I just heard you say the money was borrowed, and I’m afraid you’re going to be cheated."
"How can you be so malicious, young girl? Our old man is waiting for Divine Doctor Xue’s dicine to save his life, and you’re telling not to buy the dicine. What’s your intention?"
"Are you worried that if we buy the dicine, there won’t be enough left for you? I can’t believe soone so young could have such a vicious mind."
An’an, just a young girl with little worldly experience, couldn’t handle such venomous words. She waved her hands in a panic, "Auntie, I’m truly trying to help you. That dicine is fake, and that Divine Doctor Xue is fake too. Please, don’t buy that dicine."
Upon hearing this, the old lady got completely angry and shouted to the crowd, "Everyone co over here and be the judge."
This shout indeed attracted a crowd of onlookers, and the old lady spoke to them.
"This young girl has the gall to slander Divine Doctor Xue, saying he is fake and the dicine he sells is fake too, and she’s stopping from buying it. What do you think her intentions are?"
"My old man is paralyzed at ho, just waiting for Divine Doctor Xue’s dicine, and she’s telling not to buy it?"
Hearing the woman’s words, the crowd started pointing fingers at An’an.
"Oh my, how can you be like this, young girl? Stopping soone from getting treatnt. Lives are at stake here; aren’t you harming others?"
"Exactly, and saying the dicine is fake. So many people have gotten better after taking it, how could it be fake?"
"Look at your young age, yet you slander Divine Doctor Xue and claim he is fake. What evidence do you have?"
"If you have no evidence, don’t speak recklessly. Everyone here is waiting for treatnt!"
"..."
"..."
With everyone talking at once, the spray from their words could drown An’an.
An’an was so overwheld that her face turned red, and tears filled her eyes. She had kindly tried to warn them, but instead, she was criticized by these people.
The commotion had already been noticed by the dicine sellers. They were initially worried when soone questioned their identity.
But seeing that the person questioning them was just a young girl, they grew bolder.
The man who had been helping sell Divine Doctor Xue’s dicine stepped forward confidently.
He spoke up, "Young girl, you’re defaming Divine Doctor Xue’s reputation. Divine Doctor Xue is selling dicine here to benefit the people. Stop causing trouble and leave quickly, before Divine Doctor Xue gets angry."
The crowd’s scolding rose up again at this point.
"Yeah, stop causing trouble and leave quickly."
"Right, if you upset Divine Doctor Xue and he refuses to sell us the dicine, what will we do?"
"You’re provoking public anger. Leave quickly and stop blocking us from buying the dicine."
"Leave quickly!"
"..."
"..."
An’an stood there at that mont, listening to everyone’s scolding, feeling her heart pounding with fear. She had never faced such a large crowd before.
Her face, previously flushed with frustration, had turned ghostly pale with fear.
Her small face was all scrunched up, her upper teeth biting firmly into her lower lip, and her body was trembling with fright.
Soone even gave An’an a shove, trying to make her leave quickly.
Even though the young girl was scared, she still had a temper. After being pushed, she shouted angrily, "I know the real Divine Doctor Xue. They’re imposters."
