Aunt Mei also noticed the expressions of the people around her. She was a little angry for a moment. She raised her voice again and said, “This Ye Ling is not a woman who abides by the rules. A few months ago, she was fooling around with another man in the reed marsh. She’s very flirtatious!”
The onlookers didn’t know if Aunt Mei’s words were true, but this piece of information was indeed quite explosive. For a moment, the men looked at Ye Ling with a hint of lewdness and grease in their eyes, while the women looked at Ye Ling with disdain.
Yun Jie couldn’t take it anymore. She whispered to Ye Ling, “Don’t listen anymore. Go in first. I’ll deal with them.”
Ye Ling shook her head. “There’s no need. Since they’re here for me and the pharmacy, they definitely won’t let it go.”
Before Yun Jie could say anything, Ye Ling looked at Aunt Mei and said calmly,
“What do you want then?”
Aunt Mei didn’t expect Ye Ling to know her purpose so quickly. She thought that Ye Ling was afraid and wanted her to stop causing trouble.
Aunt Mei’s eyes flashed with pride, but her expression was still very gloomy. “What do I want? Of course, I want to seek justice for my poor daughter-in-law!”

Yun Jie, standing next to Ye Ling, rolled her eyes. “You just want money, don’t you? Why don’t you just say it? How shameless.”
“Get justice for your daughter-in-law?” Ye Ling asked slowly. “Auntie, if I remember correctly after your daughter-in-law fell sick, you hired a witch doctor for her. However, the witch doctor used some unscientific methods to torture your daughter-in-law. Have you ever thought that the reason why your daughter-in-law became weaker and weaker was because of that witch doctor?”
Aunt Mei didn’t expect Ye Ling to mention the witch doctor.
Many people knew that Aunt Mei had hired a witch doctor, but they were all from the same village. They would still have to deal with each other in the future, so they naturally would not expose her so easily.
Many villagers also believed in the witch doctor’s ability. Everyone thought that if they encountered strange things or got sick in the future, they would need to ask the witch doctor. Therefore, they naturally did not tell the witch doctor about it.
Because of the collective silence of the villagers, under the country’s policy of resisting feudal superstition, witch doctors could still charge high consultation fees and enjoy the pursuit of the villagers.
Your translation is quite accurate, but I made a few small adjustments for clarity and flow:
“Are you trying to renege on your debt? The witch doctor was trying to save my daughter-in-law. If you don’t know anything, don’t spout nonsense. If you dare to offend the witch doctor again, I won’t be polite to you,” Aunt Mei threatened.
Ye Ling smiled faintly. “You’re making it sound so scary. Let me be frank with you. Your daughter-in-law wasn’t seriously ill and would be fine after taking medicine for two days at most. However, you spent so much money to hire a witch doctor, which only made your daughter-in-law’s condition worse. You became a fool and were deceived by the witch doctor, but you didn’t know it. I just feel sorry for you.”
Aunt Mei’s expression turned ugly when she heard Ye Ling’s words.
Aunt IVIe1 was suspicious or the witch doctor, but she has spent all her money, so she could only force herself to believe in the witch doctor.
Aunt Mei’s heart twitched when she saw Ye Ling confidently say that Ah Hui was not seriously ill.
If what Ye Ling said was true, didn’t that mean the money she spent on hiring the witch doctor was in vain?
Aunt Mei’s heart was beating wildly, and she kept hinting to herself,
“Impossible, this b*tch must be spouting nonsense! She didn’t believe it!”
Aunt Mei’s eyes were as wide as a ghost’s as she stared at Ye Ling. “Don’t try to change the topic. My daughter-in-law died after taking the medicine from your pharmacy. Moreover, she died after you visited her. You can’t get away with it!”
Ye Ling looked at the young girl on the straw mat and said meaningfully, “You said your daughter-in-law died, right?”
Aunt Mei felt that Ye Ling’s question was mocking her intelligence. If Ah Hui wasn’t dead, was she still alive? If she wasn’t dead, could she roll her up with a straw mat and bring her to the pharmacy?
Aunt Mei opened her mouth. She was about to say something when Ye Ling said, “Don’t you just want the pharmacy to compensate you?
Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment before she straightened her back. “What do you mean? I’m here to seek justice for my daughter-in-law. As for compensation, isn’t that a matter of course?”
Ye Ling laughed coldly in her heart.
Ye Ling slowly took two steps forward. Yun Jie wanted to stop her, but she couldn’t.
Ye Ling walked to the side of the straw mat and glanced at Ah Hui. Then, she turned to Aunt Mei and said, “If Ah Hui’s death is related to me, then I’ll compensate you. ”
Aunt Mei thought she had heard wrong.. Would Ye Ling compensate her?
