From Zhao Zhuangshi's recount, Lin Nianhe learned that Zhuang Shu's reputation was completely ruined.
The first person to bring back this news was Aunt He, who was the earliest in Nine-miles Team to learn about Cailan's mother's condition; she probably also inquired about the causes and consequences from the doctor at the health center.
See, as soon as Aunt He returned to the village, she spread the word.
Originally, it wasn't supposed to spread all over the place instantly, but it just so happened to coincide with Li Xiaoshan and Daxi's wedding. When relatives and friends gathered, the news spread as if it grew wings, whooshing around.
Lin Nianhe also learned some other news.
Cailan's mother wasn't the first one who became deaf from an overdose of gentamicin; last year, when Yang Yumin from Nine-miles Team had a persistent high fever, it was Zhuang Shu who gave him the injection, and three-year-old Xiao Yumin couldn't hear anything after the fever subsided.
