At such a time, Shen Guoliang's presence by the side of the frail and elderly Chief Cheng naturally demonstrates that he is a confidant among confidants.
With tears in his eyes, he nodded solemnly and said, "Please rest assured, sir! I promise to keep this a secret!"
"Go ahead, let everyone outside go about their business!" Chief Cheng gave another order.
Shen Guoliang hurriedly went to carry out the order, and the group of people outside were politely asked to leave.
Shen Guoliang and Su Ruyi stayed with Chief Cheng until sunset before the doctor returned, drenched in sweat.
He searched all over the ice market and finally gathered all the medicinal herbs.
Chief Cheng personally warned the doctor again, telling him to keep quiet about Su Ruyi treating his illness.
The healthcare doctor swore oaths and vows, almost kneeling down again.
Su Ruyi personally lit the fire to brew the medicine, filtered out the broth herself, and fed it to the old man by hand.
After taking a dose of herbal medicine, the group watched in astonishment as a thin blush appeared on the old commander's face.
This is a sign that the Qi and blood are rising and circulating.
Su Ruyi secretly guided the flow of Qi and blood in Chief Cheng's body with her divine sense, instantly unblocking any obstructions.
The healthcare doctor was speechless—all his life's knowledge had been overturned in that moment.
He couldn't help but walk towards Su Ruyi: "Little Su... oh no, Divine Doctor Su! Can you take me as your apprentice?"
Su Ruyi was taken aback: "I'm in Dingjiatun, and you're by the leader's side. Even if I agreed to take you as my apprentice, I couldn't actually teach you anything. Besides, my medicine is traditional Chinese medicine, and yours is Western medicine; they're not the same system, so it's not appropriate!"
Chief Cheng chuckled and said, "My personal physician asked what will happen after I, the old man, die!"
The healthcare worker's face immediately turned red, and he realized that he had acted inappropriately.
Fortunately, the old man was a clear-headed and open-minded person. He didn't care about his actions, which resembled betrayal. Instead, he laughed and said, "Just you wait and see. This old man might live another ten or twenty years!"
The healthcare worker lowered his head, not daring to speak again.
Su Ruyi shook her head and smiled, "Let's talk about the future later. The old man's health is fine now."
Chief Cheng warned again: "Keep your mouth shut about Dr. Su treating me, understand?"
The healthcare provider nodded vigorously and retreated sheepishly.
...
It was already late at night when Su Ruyi was taken back to Dingjiatun by jeep.
From a distance, she sensed that something was amiss in the courtyard.
Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the light in the previously empty guest room was on for some reason.
The small courtyard left behind by Jin Dachun has a total of four rooms.
Su Ruyi stayed in the largest room by herself.
Grandpa Su Qiushi stayed in one guest room, Yi Lele stayed in the room that Jin Dachun used to live in, and the remaining guest room was always empty.
Now, its lights are on!
Could it be that Fourth Brother is here again?
With a joyful expression, Su Ruyi bid farewell to Xiao Fang and hurriedly pushed open the door to enter the courtyard.
Su Qiushi immediately came to greet her: "Ruyi, why are you only just getting back?"
Yi Lele also rushed out and asked, "Teacher, how did it go? Did you cure that patient with the acute illness?"
Su Ruyi nodded: "Everything went smoothly, and the condition has stabilized."
At that moment, a figure pushed open the door and walked out of the room where the light was on.
He's tall and thin, and looks a lot like Su Tong.
Su Ruyi felt a surge of joy and was about to blurt out "Fourth Brother".
But as the person stepped into the light, Su Ruyi saw clearly—damn it, it was actually Su Yin?!
The smile on Su Ruyi's face vanished instantly.
She frowned and snapped, "Who let you in?"
Su Yin said with a grin, "Can't I go into my own sister's room?"
Su Ruyi pushed him aside and went into the guest room.
The original bedding was piled up in the corner, while Su Yin's brand new bedding was already laid out on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Moreover, his personal belongings, scattered here and there, have taken up every inch of space in the room.
Su Qiushi followed behind and said, "This young man says he's your third brother, and that you invited him to move in! Ruyi, is that true?"
Su Ruyi shook her head and said, "That's not true! Although he is my third brother, we don't have a good relationship, unlike me and my fourth and fifth brothers!"
Yi Lele said, "Grandpa, you lost the bet, didn't you? Make me candied hawthorns tomorrow!"
These two, grandfather and grandson, are actually gambling?
Su Yin scoffed, "Ruyi, now, in this Dingjiatun, we're the only two of us who are truly siblings. Do you have to act so distant?"
Su Ruyi snorted coldly: "Who's trying to create distance by moving into my yard without even asking me?"
"I haven't even bothered about your bad attitude and the fact that you kicked me off the oxcart!"
Su Yin shrugged. "Then I'll ask now, I'll ask now—can I move in?—See, I've already asked!"
After saying that, he turned to go back into the house.
"Su Yin!" Su Ruyi shouted, "Do you think I'm still a pitiful little thing in Haicheng that you can bully? You've got the wrong idea!" With that, she grabbed Su Yin by the collar, dragged him out of the yard, and slammed him to the ground.
Su Yin fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if her internal organs had shifted.
He asked in surprise, "How come your strength has increased again?"
Su Ruyi ignored him, turned around and went into the guest room he had occupied, spread his bedding on the bed, then threw all his belongings into the bedding, rolled them up, and threw them out.
Su Yin barely managed to get up, only to be knocked to the ground again by the bundle. His eyes instantly turned vicious: "Su Ruyi, don't go too far!"
"What? It's too much to not let you stay in my room? You can stay if you want—it's fifty yuan a month, but you'll have to pay me a year's rent upfront!" Su Ruyi said coldly.
"What? Fifty yuan a month? Why don't you just rob me?" Su Yin was so angry that she trembled.
"Fifty! Do you want it or not? Tell me!" Su Ruyi's tone was very provocative.
"You! You've gone too far!" Su Yin trembled with rage, as if struck by lightning. "I'm your own brother!"
This morning, Su Yin inquired around the village and her eyes lit up when she found this courtyard—such a magnificent courtyard actually belonged to Su Ruyi!
Four large brick houses with glass windows, and a sweet water well in the courtyard!
Su Yin was filled with excitement.
In his heart, this courtyard already belonged to him.
Who is Su Ruyi?
His sixth sister!
His family!
If it belongs to Su Ruyi, then it's basically his!
Unexpectedly, Su Ruyi hired two outsiders to live in this small courtyard.
One of them was actually her godfather?
The other one was a spoiled brat who spoke arrogantly and domineeringly!
What kind of scumbags are these?
