Chapter 49 Worrying about You

Lin shook her head, a hint of bitterness etched across her lips. "That's easy for you to say. The Fan family is wealthy and powerful. What good would it do even if the village head went? Our little girl Qing doesn't know how to treat a doctor. If the Fan family turns against us, who would we turn to for justice?"

"What can we do? Can we just sit there and wait?"

Chen Zhanshan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "No, I can't just sit here and wait. I'm going to the Fan family now. Even if it costs me my life, I'm going to bring Qing back. If they dare to do anything wrong, I'll go to the county government office and beat the drum to complain to them that night."

"Boss, you can't go to court to file a complaint! As the saying goes, the gate of the government office faces south. Even if you have a reason but no money, don't come in. We are so poor now that we can't even fill our stomachs. Even if we go to court, we can't win!"

Chen Zhanshan was at a loss for a moment. He knew that what his wife said was right. Even if he went to beat the drum to complain, it would be of no use. The Fan family was rich and powerful, and Qing Yatou was probably in danger this time.

It’s all my fault for not being capable. If I could make money, my daughter wouldn’t have been so hasty as to reveal the notice from the Fan Mansion.

Just when the two were at a loss, Chen Han ran in like a gust of wind.

"Dad, Mom, my sister is back."

The two of them were suddenly delighted and stood up at the same time.

"Xiao Han, your sister is back. Where is she?" Lin asked hurriedly.

"When I saw it, the carriage had just entered the village. It should be almost home now. Let's go to the door and wait!" After saying that, Chen Han turned around and ran out.

.....

When Chen Qingqing jumped off the carriage, she saw Chen Zhanshan and Lin standing at the door, looking worried.

She smiled and called out crisply, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Lin hurried forward and grabbed Chen Qingqing's arms, looking her up and down. "Qing girl, you're back. Did they give you any trouble?"

Chen Zhanshan's voice was hoarse, "Yes, Qing girl, you haven't been wronged, have you?"

Chen Qingqing smiled and turned around, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm fine."

"That's good, that's good." Chen Zhanshan nodded happily.

Chen Qingqing thanked the driver of the Fan Mansion and took the things from the carriage and handed them to Chen Zhanshan, "Dad, this is corn and two pounds of pork."

Chen Han's eyes lit up when he saw so many delicious foods. "Great, I can eat meat today."

Mrs. Lin looked at the bag full of corn, which must have been more than ten liters. Where did her daughter get the money to buy so much rice? Was she on the wrong track?

She looked worried, "Qing girl, where did you get the money? Did you do anything bad behind your mother's back?"

Chen Qingqing knew what bad things Lin was talking about. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Dad, Mom, I treated Mr. Fan and stopped his itching. He rewarded me with a hundred coins. I bought fifteen liters of corn and two pounds of pork. Let's improve our condition today."

"Okay, my daughter is capable." Chen Zhanshan looked at the bag of corn with tears in his eyes. The whole family would finally not go hungry.

He never dreamed that he could eat the rice bought with his daughter's money. He is so lucky!

Lin still had doubts in her heart, "Qing girl, are you telling the truth?"

"Mother, this is the rice I bought with the hard-earned money I earned honestly to treat Mr. Fan. Don't worry about eating it. I won't do anything bad."

"But when did you learn medical skills?"

Seeing Lin's suspicious face, Chen Qingqing said casually, "Mom, didn't my grandma hit me with a stick a few days ago? I passed out immediately and I was in the underworld in a trance.

The King of Hell said that my life span had not yet ended, that I had been a good person for ten lifetimes, and that in each of them I had practiced medicine and saved lives. I should not live a miserable life in this life. He then injected a beam of light from my forehead. When I woke up, I found that I had become extremely intelligent and had learned the art of medicine without a teacher.

Lin was so amused that she burst out laughing, "You little girl, you actually said some silly things to make your mother happy."

Chen Qingqing hugged Lin's arm and started to act coquettishly, "Mom, everything I said is true. If anyone asks you about it in the future, you can say that I met a hermit and learned medical skills when I was young. Otherwise, people will say I am a monster."

"Okay, okay, mom got it. If anyone asks, I'll say that Qingqing's medical skills are from a master." Lin smiled and nodded. As long as her daughter was safe, she was happy. As for how she learned the medical skills, she didn't care.

Chen Zhanshan also smiled and said, "Okay, Qing girl, you must be tired. Let's talk about it when we get home."

"Yes, yes, come back to the house with mother." Lin took Chen Qingqing's hand and walked into the house.

The yard next door.

Old man Chen sat aside with a sad face. He was anxious because the wedding day was coming tomorrow, but the eldest brother's family did not bow down and submit as the old woman said.

If Qing Yatu is not sent to Li the butcher on time, there will be chaos and unrest.

That is both embarrassing and shameful. Not only do you have to say nice things to the other person, but you also have to return the betrothal gift.

But all the money was given to the third son. Where can he get the money? This is just causing trouble for no reason!

It's all that silly old woman's fault. She insisted on dividing the family. If she could just divide it, why did she even bother writing a letter of severance? Now, everything is gone.

I want to see how you clean up this mess.

Seeing him sighing, Old Lady Chen knew what he was worried about. She gave Old Man Chen a cold look and said, "If you have nothing to do, go chop wood in the yard. Who are you trying to show off by sitting there with a sour face?"

"Why am I putting on a sour face? I'm just worried about you."

"I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? You're really worrying about nothing."

Old Man Chen couldn't hold it in any longer after hearing this. He stood up in anger, glaring at Old Lady Chen and pointing his finger at her. "You really don't know what's good for you. You're in such a desperate situation and you're acting like nothing happened. You'd better think about it quickly. When Butcher Li comes to your house tomorrow to ask for you, what are you going to say to him?"

"Now that it's like this, no matter what you want me to say, it's driving me crazy, and there's nothing I can do!"

"So are we just going to wait for Butcher Li to come to our house and cause trouble? If you had known this would happen, you shouldn't have severed ties with the eldest brother's family."

"Okay, just be content!"

Old Mrs. Chen glanced at him with dissatisfaction.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're really clueless. Don't you think about it carefully? What kind of skills does that little girl have? If she knew how to treat illnesses, everyone would be a doctor.

Mr. Fan is a big bully in Qingshui Town. The county magistrate is related to him. If he fails to cure her or kills her, the dead girl will be involved in a murder lawsuit.

Not only will she be in trouble, but even the eldest brother's family will have a hard time.

Fortunately, I decisively cut off ties with them, otherwise my family would have been implicated as well."

Old Man Chen nodded continuously as he listened. "You're right, old lady! Why didn't I think about this? From this perspective, our family has avoided a great disaster!"
