Chen Simin saw that the old man ignored her, but he didn't explicitly refuse her, so she felt that there was still a chance, so she quickly took Jiang Xueying's hand and followed the old man into the house.

"Old man, can you help my sister look at the birthmark on her face?"

"Old doctor, we won't take up much of your time. Just take a look and prescribe some medicine for us."

The old man turned a deaf ear to Chen Simin's words and just focused on his own work.

After all, Chen Simin is the eldest daughter of the Chen family. She has been spoiled since childhood and has never been treated like this. Seeing that the old man treated her as invisible, she lost her patience instantly.

"Humph, I think you just pretended not to answer because you have no way to detoxify. Do you dare to just say it clearly, is it curable or not?"

Jiang Xueying saw Chen Simin speaking disrespectfully to the old man and quickly stepped forward to stop her.

"Sister Simin, don't be angry. Since the old man is unwilling to help with the treatment, let's just leave."

She patted the back of Chen Simin's hand soothingly, asking her to calm down, and then pulled the unwilling Chen Simin away.

Suddenly, the old man spoke.

"Oh, I'm an old man who has been busy in the mountains all day, and I don't even have a hot meal to eat when I come back. It's really pitiful."

It was obvious from the old man's words that he just wanted the two of them to cook for him.

Chen Simin became even angrier when she heard that the old man not only asked them to help Jiang Xueying treat her illness but also asked them to help him cook. She opened her mouth and wanted to speak again.

Jiang Xueying had anticipated this and quickly covered Chen Simin's mouth. She could hear that the old man's tone had softened a lot, so it seemed there was still hope.

"It's okay, he's an old man. I usually help the elderly in the village cook when I'm free."

Seeing that Jiang Xueying was not angry, Chen Simin didn't want to lose her temper anymore, so she just let Jiang Xueying go.

"Then I'll go cook for you now. Is there anything you like to eat? Maybe I can cook it."

The old man looked up at Jiang Xueying, whose face was covered with spots, and unceremoniously listed several difficult dishes in one breath.

In a short while, a table of exquisite dishes appeared in front of the old man and Chen Simin. In her previous life, Jiang Xueying's favorite thing was to study all kinds of delicious food, so cooking was a piece of cake for her.

"There are limited ingredients in the kitchen, so I can only make these small dishes. I'll treat you to a good meal next time."

Jiang Xueying rubbed her hands a little embarrassedly. These dishes were just some home-cooked dishes.

The old man did not answer. He looked at the dishes on the table with shining eyes. Then, without waiting for Jiang Xueying to speak, he grabbed the chopsticks savagely and started eating.

Looking at the old man's eating habits, Jiang Xueying smiled, shook her head and left. It seemed that these dishes were not enough and she had to prepare more!

“Delicious, this is the taste!”

The old man nodded as he ate, and it was obvious that he approved of the dishes.

This made Chen Simin very unhappy. Not only did the old man refuse to help with the treatment, but he also asked them to cook. Did he really treat them as cooks? She had never seen such an impolite old man.

Jiang Xueying prepared a table full of dishes, but she didn't even touch a single bite, and the old man ate most of it. He looked like he hadn't eaten in years. It was really...

Chen Simin even had a flash of thought: Could this old man be the reincarnation of Taotie? How could he eat so much?

It would have been fine if he didn't leave any food for her, but the key point was that the old man didn't even say a word of thanks and even refused to see a doctor. Chen Simin felt indignant for Jiang Xueying.

No, we can't just let this old man take advantage and do nothing. Since Jiang Xueying is kind-hearted and doesn't want to say anything, let her friend say it.

"Old doctor, look, my sister Jiang prepared such a delicious meal for you, and you seem to be satisfied with the meal. Isn't it time to treat her illness?"

Chen Simin asked with a smile.

The old man remained silent, pretending he hadn't heard, and continued to devour the remaining dishes on the table.

"As the saying goes, you should be grateful for what you have received, and you should be soft-hearted for what you have eaten. Look at you, you have eaten so much, don't you even say anything?"

Chen Simin kept asking, she just didn't believe that the old man was so boring.

But the old man still didn't even look at Chen Simin, nor said a word, and it was unclear whether he would treat her or not.

"You...you wait!"

Chen Simin was so angry that she slapped the table, gritted her teeth, and went straight into the kitchen without even eating the food.

Of course, even if Chen Simin wanted to eat, she wouldn't be able to grab it with the old man's speed of eating it up like whirlwind.

As soon as Chen Simin entered the kitchen, she saw Jiang Xueying still busy.

Thinking of the old man's expression of not wanting to pay any attention to her just now, Chen Simin became angry. She hurriedly walked to Jiang Xueying, held Jiang Xueying's hands, her eyes drooped, and she looked aggrieved.

"Sister Jiang, he is an ungrateful person. You should stop working so hard. I just asked him to help you with your illness, but he ignored me. Why are you cooking so many dishes for him?"

Seeing Chen Simin's indignant look, Jiang Xueying gently pulled back her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Simin, don't worry, you have to feed her. Let me ask you, if I ask you to work on an empty stomach, will you agree or not?"

Chen Simin was stunned, and after a long pause, he replied: "Of course I won't agree. How can I have the energy to work if I'm not full?"

Jiang Xueying tapped Chen Simin's nose, pretending to be serious.

"That's it, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you!"

Chen Simin touched the tip of her nose and finally smiled, but there was a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes.

"He has such a big appetite, when will he be full? I don't think he wants to cure you, he's just an old man who eats and drinks for free!"

Jiang Xueying thought about the old man's eating habits and couldn't help but laugh along. This was indeed a question worth thinking about, but everything was destined and she would not force it!

Fortunately, Jiang Xueying was smart and gave an answer quickly.

"Well, I don't believe that his appetite is bigger than mine. These ingredients are enough for several meals. Is it possible that he can't be full? If that's the case, then I have met my match."

Chen Simin glanced at the ingredients in the kitchen, and a smile in her beautiful eyes replaced her doubts.

"The little girl is thoughtful. I, an old man, am already full."

"Just because you just said don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you, I want to talk to you alone."

After the old man finished his meal, he happened to hear the conversation between Jiang Xueying and Chen Simin, and couldn't help but think of some past events.

They couldn't find an opportunity to talk, and now the old man took the initiative to talk to her. How could Jiang Xueying not agree? She smiled and nodded.

"You two guys talk, I'll go clean up the dishes!"

Chen Simin wisely left immediately, giving the two an opportunity to talk, and she was very aware of this.

The old man walked out of the kitchen and Jiang Xueying hurriedly followed him.

The two men walked one in front and one behind until they reached the inner room, where the old man stopped.
