"Qiaoqiao, please listen to me, okay?"

Zhong Misu was very patient and did not respond to her harsh words. Instead, she continued, "After hearing my story, you will definitely remember some things."

Su Qiaoqiao turned to him and asked, "How much money do you have left?"

"What?!" Zhong Misu was stunned.

"I asked you how much money you have left?" Su Qiaoqiao said irritably. "You don't need to make up stories to lie to me, like we're a couple destined for each other from a past life or something. You just want to date me, right? If you pay for me to build a house, I'll agree to date you!"

“Qiao Qiao…” Zhong Misu’s heart started to ache again.

"Tell me, how much money do you have? Even though you're an orphan, you're dressed quite well. Your dead parents must have left you some money, right? Brother Zhong, chasing girls costs money, you know that?" Su Qiaoqiao said sharply.

“Qiaoqiao, I can build you a house. But have you ever thought that we are truly destined to be together in past lives, no, many lifetimes?” Zhong Misu stared at Su Qiaoqiao without blinking.

"If you say so, then it is!"

Su Qiaoqiao said indifferently, "How much money can you give me to build a house? I've lost all my money!"

"You can have as many as you want."

Zhong Misu said gently, "But Qiaoqiao, can you listen to me carefully? In this life, you must work hard and keep going! You must work hard to accumulate merit so that we can return to our original world!"

"What?!" Su Qiaoqiao was completely confused.

"Qiaoqiao! Listen to me—you must become Doctor Su! You absolutely must be Doctor Su!" Zhong Misu's eyes turned serious. "You must heal the sick and save lives, save many, many people, and accumulate merit!"

"You...you weren't sent by my grandfather, were you?" Su Qiaoqiao's eyes became wary, then she suddenly had a look of realization. "So that's why you've been so nice to me! It wasn't because you've taken a liking to me! My grandfather sent you! You agree, right?!"

"Your grandfather?" Zhong Misu pondered for a moment, puzzled. "What does this have to do with your grandfather?"

"Hmph!" Su Qiaoqiao puffed out her cheeks in anger.

"I already said I wouldn't study medicine!"

I hate the smell of Chinese medicine!

My grandfather insisted on making me study medicine!

I hate it! I don't want to treat anyone!

Those patients were all filthy and stinky, it was disgusting!

Go tell my grandfather that he sent you to persuade me, but it's no use!

No matter how good-looking you are, I won't listen to you!

My seductive charms didn't work on me!

"I will never study medicine in my life!"

This time, Zhong Misu was completely dumbfounded.

It turns out that the tribulation of this life was not Su Ruyi who stole his soul, but Su Qiaoqiao's inner demon.

How can one accumulate merit without studying medicine?!

How can they go back to their original world?!

Zhong Misu was in despair.

He sat down against the small wooden bridge, buried his head between his knees, and didn't say a word.

"Haha!" Su Qiaoqiao cheered. "I saw through you, didn't I? I knew it! How could someone be like a piece of chewing gum, impossible to shake off! Hey, Brother Zhong, don't be so discouraged. As long as you give me all the money my grandpa gave you, I promise I won't tell him that I've already found out when I write to him!"

“Okay.” Zhong Misu felt utterly hopeless. He kept pulling money out of his shirt pocket.

They exchanged merit points for money while simultaneously withdrawing the money.

One tuck and you get a handful of 100-yuan bills.

He threw all the money onto the small wooden bridge, but by chance, a gust of wind blew by, and all the money was blown into the Big Butt River.

"Oh dear!" Su Qiaoqiao exclaimed anxiously, grabbing Zhong Misu's hand as she reached for her money. "What are you doing! That's all my grandfather's money! Who gave you permission to throw it away like that?!"

Zhong Misu grabbed Su Qiaoqiao's hand and held it tightly in her palm: "Qiaoqiao, look into my eyes! You really... can't remember anything?"

Su Qiaoqiao pulled her hand away and slapped Zhong Misu across the face without hesitation: "You pervert! What are you doing?!"

After saying that, he covered his face and ran towards the back of the mountain.

Zhong Misu was heartbroken by the slap, but watching Su Qiaoqiao's figure disappear into the mountain pass, he could only sigh and chase after her.

"Qiaoqiao! Don't run around! It's dangerous!"

"You pervert! Get out of here!"

One ran, the other chased.

Zhong Misu was faster, and just as he caught up with Su Qiaoqiao, Su Qiaoqiao suddenly turned around and pushed him aside with all her might.

Beside it was a low cliff, about three or four meters deep.

Caught off guard, Zhong Misu stumbled a couple of steps, lost her balance, and immediately fell.

The moment he hit the bottom, he clearly heard the sound of his shinbone cracking.

"Well……"

He groaned and curled up.

"Hey, are you... are you alright?" Su Qiaoqiao asked from upstairs.

"Go to the village and find more people, my leg is broken!" Zhong Misu squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.

He has just extracted a large amount of merit to restore his crooked nose.

Now, his merits are no longer enough to restore his legs to their original state.

When it comes to accumulating merit, the amount required to do so is the greatest.

Zhong Misu could only lie in despair at the bottom of the low cliff, waiting for rescue.

Looking at the dazzling sun, he muttered to himself, "Qiaoqiao, I have a bad feeling—your tribulation in this life is probably going to fail!"

Su Qiaoqiao ran back to the educated youth compound in one breath.

The first person I met was Jiang Aiguo.

She grabbed Jiang Aiguo's sleeve: "Quick! Come with me to save people!"

Jiang Aiguo gave her a disgusted look: "Don't touch me! I know you thieves, you say things to distract people while you pick their pockets!"

Su Qiaoqiao was so angry her eyes almost twisted: "I'm not a thief!"

"Anyway, stay away from me!" Jiang Aiguo said, then turned and left.

Su Qiaoqiao grabbed a village woman who came to fetch water, asked her where the brigade headquarters was, and then ran over there.

Ding Liming was buried in a pile of documents, scratching his head in frustration.

"Brother Zhong broke his leg! You need to send someone to rescue him!" Su Qiaoqiao blurted out out of the blue.

"Who?! Broken leg? Where?" Ding Liming, as expected of an outstanding brigade leader in Sanhe County, quickly ascertained the reason in just a few words.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed heavily: "It's always something going on! They were supposed to be learning how to harvest rice this afternoon! They've managed to make me fall over!"

Actually, he wanted to say why it wasn't this fussy little girl in front of him who had fallen, but he swallowed his words.

With tears in her eyes, Su Qiaoqiao didn't dare to admit that she had pushed him: "Captain Ding, please!"

"The entire militia team has been arrested. You educated youth will have to organize a rescue yourselves! Call the person in charge of the educated youth settlement here!"

Ding Liming waved his hand impatiently and shooed her away.
