Chapter 9: A village girl and a cripple, a perfect match

The Huo family's old house is located in the wealthy area of ​​Haicheng, with a Chinese garden style, carved corridors and painted buildings, green tiles and red roofs, and it is low-key but has a heavy and luxurious background.

The Huo family is divided into two branches. The eldest branch lives in the old house with the old man, and the second branch lives in the city. Huo Xingzhou moved out alone and lived in a small villa. However, he was injured recently, so his parents took care of him nearby.

6pm.

The golden crow fell to the west and the sky was getting dark.

Qiao Xi pushed Huo Xingzhou through the long corridor before reaching the banquet hall.

Inside, the lights were on and people were everywhere. The maids had laid out delicious food on the long table, and a loud and high-pitched female voice urged them to work.

"This is your aunt. She is smart and capable, but also cunning and proud." Du Ya introduced her to Qiao Xi in a low voice. "Her name is Wang Fengxian, and many people call her Wang Xifeng behind her back."

"The one sitting on the sofa is your uncle. He is ruthless and cunning."

No one in the family sounds good.

Qiao Xi took note of it.

Wang Fengxian turned around and saw the second family. She smiled strangely and said, "You are finally here. I feel sorry for Xingzhou sitting in a wheelchair."

She has a pair of narrow red eyes and a pointed chin, and looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.

"Sister-in-law is still so harsh in her words." Du Ya said indifferently.

"I love to tell the truth." Wang Fengxian looked at Qiao Xi and said with a smile, "This is your country daughter-in-law. Tsk tsk, a country girl and a disabled man, they are a perfect match."

She kept calling him a cripple and a disabled person!

This is a real blow to the second wife's heart.

Huo Sijiao couldn't stand it anymore and retorted: "Aunt, your mouth stinks so much, didn't you brush your teeth this morning? The stench is so strong, won't it stink up Uncle at night?"

"Huo Sijiao, how do you talk to your elders? Is this the tutor of the second house?" Wang Fengxian narrowed her eyes and her face fell.

"I love to tell the truth." Huo Sijiao said fiercely, with her hands on her hips, "Nuwa should have used your face to mend the sky."

Wang Fengxian was so angry that she slapped him.

Huo Sijiao was not one to be beaten or scolded, so she simply pinched Wang Fengxian's hand and broke it, causing her to scream in pain.

"What are you talking about?"

A resonant voice came from the staircase. The old man was wearing a dark blue training suit and leaning on a dragon-head cane. His eyes were bright and he looked energetic. Next to him stood Huo Beiting, who looked very proud, and a thin and elegant middle-aged man.

"dad."

"Grandpa."

No one dared to make trouble anymore.

"Take a seat."

At Mr. Huo's command, everyone sat around the dining table.

"I called you here today to announce something." The old man began to say, "The first house found Cheng Han's apprentice Zhuo Feng. In exchange, the second house will give the project to the first house and sign this "Project Transfer Letter."

He finished speaking.

The eldest wife was delighted, while the second wife was upset and resentful. It was natural for family members to help each other, but the old man insisted on bringing up interests, how could the second wife accept this!

Wang Fengxian smiled coquettishly and said, "Don't you think my sister-in-law is unwilling? It seems that Xingzhou's legs are not as good as his."

"you!"

Du Ya was so angry that her heart ached. On one side was her son's hard work, and on the other was his legs. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xing Zhou's legs are more important! But we have to test him first!"

Mr. Huo sneered and said, "You don't believe me. Doctor Zhuo, check my grandson's legs first."

"Yes." The thin and shrewd middle-aged doctor beside him bowed and responded.

Zhuo Feng squatted down and opened the medicine box, revealing a row of needles glowing with cold light.

Qiao Xi took a look and saw that they were all gold needles, which could be considered as collectibles. Boss Zhuo rolled up Huo Xingzhou's trouser legs and took out a three-edged needle and pierced it directly into the Zusanli acupoint.

The needle pierces straight in, one inch, two inches!

He wants to go in again!

If the needle penetrates more than two inches, it will puncture a blood vessel.

It was right for Boss Zhuo to use acupuncture for bloodletting, but the timing was wrong and it would worsen Huo Xingzhou's condition.

A skilled doctor can observe the changes in the meridians and qi, which depends on experience or talent. Qiao Xi is the latter, she can grasp the flow of the meridians and qi.

"No! This shouldn't be..."

Qiao Xi spoke up to stop them, and everyone looked at her with different expressions.

Zhuo Feng chuckled with contempt, "Young Madam, are you teaching me how to do things? I've studied medicine for more than 40 years, and you didn't even know where to get the needle."

The eldest wife of the Huo family sneered and said, "Are you a country girl afraid that Xingzhou will abandon you after he heals your legs?"

She was about to explain, but a slender hand holding a three-fresh dumpling filled her mouth, and a warm finger brushed her red lips. She bit down, and it was full of juice.

"I love this pastry the most at every family dinner. Try it and see if it tastes good." Huo Xingzhou slowly took the towel and wiped his greasy fingers.

Qiao Xi met the man's calm eyes and instantly recalled what he had said at home.

Whatever happens, stand behind him and don't say a word.

"Please continue, Doctor Zhuo." Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "She is young and ignorant, she is just worried about me."

Zhuo Feng penetrated two and a half inches, twisting and widening the angle. Black congestion oozed from the needle hole. He retracted the needle and stood up, speaking confidently.

"Master, I can cure this disease!" His eyes gleamed, "Second Young Master's legs are feeling better now, right?"

"Um."

Huo Xingzhou responded.

He also noticed the difference between Qiao Xi and Zhuo Feng. She felt more comfortable when being stabbed.

"Dr. Zhuo is truly better than his teacher! Cousin, please sign this Project Transfer Agreement quickly!" Huo Beiting impatiently put the paper in front of him and even handed him a signing pen.

Things have come to this point, and the second room has no other choice.

I can only sign in exchange for Huo Xingzhou's healthy legs.

Qiao Xi bit her lower lip tightly, and the crispy bun in her mouth lost its taste. She stretched out her hand and placed it on his arm, feeling distressed and angry. She could cure it, too, so there was no need to give up his project!

He still doesn't believe her?

Huo Xingzhou ignored him, took the pen and signed the three words in a fast and flowing manner.

Huo Xingzhou put down his pen and said calmly, "Cousin, this project is handed over to you. But the Sun family's land has not been acquired yet."

Tianyuan Group and Huo's company are working together on the Future City project, which aims to build a world-class high-tech smart town. They have enclosed an area of ​​five square kilometers, including the old house of the Sun family, and they refuse to relocate.

Huo Beiting folded the paper and said sarcastically with a smile: "That's because you are incapable! You can't even take a small piece of land. When the groundbreaking ceremony is held, I will invite you to watch."

Wang Fengxian smiled until her gums showed: "You don't know yet, right? Beiting and Sun Shao are good friends. He has already introduced Beiting to Sun Zong. The Sun family only has Sun Weimeng as their only son!"

The Sun family is well-known for doting on their son.

"What a coincidence."

Huo Beiting raised the flashing screen of his mobile phone and said with satisfaction: "President Sun called. He must have agreed to move. What was a tough bone for you is a piece of cake for me."

In order to show off and humiliate Huo Xingzhou, he turned on the speaker in public.
