Chapter 82 really knows how to rub salt in the wound.

The following day at noon, the town clinic

The dean's wife brought him a lunchbox.

While he was eating, she made a special trip to Jiang Xun's office.

When I arrived, Jiang Xun was writing something with his head down, and the door was open.

"Knock knock~" The dean's wife knocked on the door twice and said with a smile, "Dr. Jiang, you're busy."

"Aunt Fang, you've arrived." Jiang Xun adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and stood up. "Please come in."

The dean's wife sat down with a smile: "Have you eaten yet? You young man, you can't overwork yourself, lest you hurt your health."

"I've already eaten." Jiang Xun smiled faintly and looked at her, saying, "What brings you here?"

The dean's wife tentatively asked, "It's like this, I see you're not young anymore, has your family already arranged a marriage partner for you?"

Jiang Xun raised an eyebrow: "I don't have any at home, there's no rush for this."

"How can I not be anxious? You're already 23 years old. Other people your age probably already have two kids."

The dean's wife looked at him kindly and said, "Auntie thinks you must be lonely living alone in this town. How about I introduce you to someone?"

That girl is my niece. She works at the supply and marketing cooperative. She has a great personality and is very pretty. She and you look very well-matched!

Jiang Xun's faint smile vanished, and he said in a somewhat cold voice, "Aunt Fang, right now I'm only focused on my work, and I'm not considering anything else for the time being."

"My child, work is work, but you also need to take care of your family," the dean's wife said with a "I'm doing this for your own good" expression.

"Men work to earn money to support their families. A wife, children, and a warm bed are the happiest life. How will you know if you don't try?"

“I think living alone is quite nice.” Jiang Xun stood up, picked up the folder on the table, and looked up to say, “I have to go check on the patients. Please make yourself at home.”

"Oh... I..." Before the dean's wife could finish speaking, Jiang Xun's long legs had already strode out.

When she returned to the dean's office looking dejected, the dean was rinsing his mouth with mouthwash.

Seeing her like this, he laughed: "How about that? You got what you deserved, didn't you? I told you not to go, but you insisted on going anyway."

"What, you seem to be gloating?" The dean's wife glared at him, annoyed.

“I’ve already told you, Jiang Xun has very high standards, he definitely wouldn’t look up to ordinary people.”

The hospital director took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Several young female nurses in our clinic are interested in him, and their families are well-off, but Jiang Xun doesn't pay any attention to them at all."

The dean's wife curled her lip: "He's just clueless. He even said living alone is fine. What does this silly boy know?"

"I think you're the one who doesn't understand." The dean shook his head and said, "Let me remind you, don't go looking for him again, or you'll just make a fool of yourself."

"Oh, what's wrong with you? You're always taking the side of outsiders." The dean's wife was getting impatient. "Xiao Li finally found someone she likes. As her aunt, shouldn't I lend a hand?"

"Just because she likes him, does that mean he has to agree?" The dean sneered. "Jiang Xun may look gentle, but he's actually very opinionated."

He knows exactly what he wants and doesn't need; how can you possibly make those decisions for him?

Upon hearing this, the dean's wife felt somewhat discouraged.

Jiang Xun has visited our home several times over the past year.

With her husband's constant nagging, she gradually came to understand Jiang Xun's character.

This kid is definitely a very opinionated person. He has a knack for everything he does, and no one else can interfere.

Even so, the dean's wife still wanted to give it another try:

"But he has never met Xiaoli. If he did, they might hit it off."

The dean was utterly speechless: "Honestly, do you really think Xiao Li is good enough for him?"

“That Xiaoli is my niece…” the dean’s wife sighed.

"Alright, it's good that you let them meet." The dean raised an eyebrow: "That way, you and Xiaoli will finally give up completely."

"You just love to put people down..." The dean's wife glared at him, then laughed and said, "How about tomorrow at noon? You can have Jiang Xun come to our house for lunch then."

"Hmm." The dean rubbed his temples, looking a bit of a headache. "I've made it clear, I'm only helping you this once. Don't bother me again."

"Okay, okay, I understand!" The dean's wife happily put away the lunchbox and said, "Then I'll go first. I still need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to inform Xiaoli."

Seeing her leave, the dean couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

Without a doubt, Jiang Xun will probably leave without even eating.

He's offended someone again because of his wife...

On the other side.

It was evening at the foot of the mountain, in a small cabin.

It's that time of the week again for our get-together.

Zhou Linghui and Li Xiaoqing rushed over as soon as they finished work in the next village.

The two of them didn't come empty-handed; one brought snacks, and the other brought rice.

Wu Qi arrived later and, as usual, took his iron axe to chop firewood nearby.

While Jiang Feiyan was cooking, Zhou Linghui and Li Xiaoqing helped out, and the two of them complained about what happened yesterday.

Upon hearing that Xiao Feng had actually gone out to ambush Zhou Linghui on her wedding day.

Jiang Feiyan raised an eyebrow: "Is he drunk and acting crazy?"

"Absolutely!" Zhou Linghui said with a look of disgust, "Xiao Feng is simply a bastard!"

He's already married, and he's still saying he regrets it. He keeps bothering me, it's disgusting!

Li Xiaoqing also looked disgusted: "It's a pity I wasn't there at the time, otherwise I would have given him a good dressing down."

Jiang Feiyan asked curiously, "And then what happened?"

"Later, I used the method you taught me to deal with him and quickly ran away," Zhou Linghui continued. "Unexpectedly, he kept chasing me and even tried to hit me with a stick."

"And then..." Zhou Linghui suddenly stopped speaking.

"Let me tell you!" Li Xiaoqing said with a smile, "Later, Comrade Lin Dacheng showed up and taught Xiao Feng a lesson. It was so satisfying!"

"Oh! This is a classic case of a hero saving a damsel in distress." Jiang Feiyan smiled, her almond-shaped eyes slightly puzzled, and looked at Zhou Linghui.

"But... Sister Linghui, why does your face look so red? Did something happen in between?"

"Cough...it's nothing." Zhou Linghui blushed slightly, lowered her head and twirled her fingers, then said, "It's just...I accidentally bumped into Comrade Lin's arms."

“Oh~~” Jiang Feiyan and Li Xiaoqing exchanged a glance.

The two of them simultaneously made a meaningful sound, their faces showing gossipy smiles.

"What are you two doing..." Zhou Linghui said anxiously, stamping her foot. "Don't make fun of me. I only bumped into him by accident."

"Let me tell you, his chest was so hard, like a rock. He almost knocked my nose out of shape, it hurt so much!"

Jiang Feiyan chuckled and couldn't resist teasing her:

"Sister Linghui, I remember you saw someone's upper body before, but now you've already started touching them. You're pretty fast."

As she spoke, she gave a thumbs up.

Li Xiaoqing was unaware of this, and exclaimed "Wow!" with her eyes wide open.

Zhou Linghui's face instantly turned bright red.

That incident was incredibly embarrassing for her.

This guy, he really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics...
