Lu Chen gently put Cheng Mingyue on the kang and looked at Cheng Tianlai with pleading eyes:
"This is the village chief's daughter, Cheng Mingyue. She has a high fever. I beg you to help take a look. As long as you can cure her, I will agree to anything you ask."
Cheng Tianlai ignored Lu Chen and said, "What's the village chief's daughter? Even if she's the daughter of the Jade Emperor, I won't treat her. You'd better give up on this idea. As for the conditions you mentioned, I'm not interested in them at all."
Lu Chen was anxious and angry, but seeing that Cheng Tianlai seemed unmoved no matter what, he stopped begging him.
Lu Chen began to search in the house, and soon he actually found some precious medicinal herbs. He grabbed some and threw them into the pot.
When Cheng Tianlai saw Lu Chen's trick, he quickly took the herbs out of the pot, held them in his arms, glared at them, and cursed:
"Are you kidding me? Do you think a few random medicines can cure the disease? Are you trying to save her or kill her?!"
Lu Chen didn't respond. He grabbed the herbs and threw them back into the pot. Not only that, he grabbed the ladle and pretended to add water to the pot.
"Your grandma, it's just a fever, and you actually want to waste my ginseng, deer antlers, and Ganoderma lucidum. Come on, come on, I'm scared of you, I'll help you treat it."
Cheng Tianlai snatched the ladle from Lu Chen's hand, picked up his precious medicinal herbs from the pot, and walked out cursing.
Cheng Tianlai dug out a wooden box from the yard, took out a cloth bag from it, and then opened several layers before revealing rows of silver needles inside.
He casually picked up a few silver needles and stabbed them into Cheng Mingyue's Dazhui, Fengchi and Hegu acupoints. After half a minute, he pulled out the needles.
Cheng Tianlai shooed Lu Chen out like a fly: "Get out, get out, and don't let me see you again!"
Lu Chen smiled instead of getting angry: "When Mingyue gets better, we will come to thank you again. From now on, you will be my uncle, and I will take care of you in your old age."
Cheng Tianlai: "..."
I have never seen such a shameless person!
He reasonably suspected that this guy wanted to rely on him because he was a good doctor.
Lu Chen didn't care what Cheng Tianlai thought. He carried Cheng Mingyue on his back and ran away.
The next morning, when Cheng Mingyue opened her eyes, she saw Lu Chen lying beside her, with her head resting on Lu Chen's arm.
“…”
What... is going on?!
Cheng Mingyue quickly came to the conclusion that Lu Chen took advantage of her while she was asleep.
Okay, she really didn’t realize that Lu Chen was such a person.
Cheng Mingyue sat up and slapped Lu Chen in the face without saying a word.
Lu Chen took care of Cheng Mingyue for half the night and was worried about him for a long time. Unexpectedly, he was woken up by someone just as he fell asleep.
The one who beat him was Cheng Mingyue
Is he Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, the farmer and the snake, or Lu Dongbin and the dog?
Lu Chen touched his face, jumped off the kang and walked out without saying a word.
Cheng Mingyue was also feeling aggrieved. Someone took advantage of her and gave her the cold shoulder. It was really outrageous. Her mother opened the door for her - it was outrageous to the extreme.
After washing up, Cheng Mingyue went back to her parents' home.
Wang Guihua smiled and asked Cheng Mingyue to sit down. "Yue'er, why did you get up so early today? Have you eaten?"
"...I ate it." Cheng Mingyue was a little depressed.
Wang Guihua immediately sensed something was wrong and asked tentatively, "Yue'er, did you have a fight with Lu Zhiqing?"
Cheng Mingyue felt even worse: "...No, Mom, don't ask, I went to the village office."
After saying that, Cheng Mingyue ran away.
When Cheng Mingyue was about to reach the village office, she met Cheng Tianlai who was going to work.
When Cheng Tianlai saw Cheng Mingyue, he looked her up and down, muttering to himself: "It seems that she is really fine."
Cheng Tianlai spoke softly, but Cheng Mingyue heard it clearly. "Seventh Uncle, what are you talking about?"
Although Cheng Tianlai is only in his thirties, he is of a higher generation in the family and is the seventh child. Cheng Mingyue should call him "Seventh Uncle".
Cheng Tianlai approached Cheng Mingyue mysteriously and said, "Last night, your Lu Zhiqing came to my house without telling you and begged me to treat you. Didn't you know?!"
"Carrying me on your back? To see a doctor? What's wrong with me?" Cheng Mingyue had no idea at all.
Cheng Tianlai, not knowing what he was thinking, exaggerated and started to talk nonsense: "Then you might have been confused by the fever. Your Lu Zhiqing was so worried that he cried. He looked so pitiful. I felt sorry for him, so I made an exception and treated you. Don't tell anyone about it, do you hear me?"
Cheng Mingyue came to her senses only after Cheng Tianlai walked away.
Did she wrongly accuse Lu Chen?
Did he really cry in desperation over his own medical treatment?
Cheng Mingyue felt even worse. She didn't go to the village office and turned around and ran home.
Cheng Mingyue ran back home only to find that the gate was locked.
Forget it, I'd better go to the village office to work first, and then go find Lu Chen to ask him clearly after I'm done.
She is a stubborn person, but she has a good attitude when she admits her mistakes.
Today is the first day of wheat harvest. After Cheng Mingyue finished her own work, the village chief threw her a sickle and asked her to go to the fields with everyone to harvest wheat.
Cheng Mingyue held the sickle in her hand, wanting to cry but unable to.
She has never seen a sickle, let alone harvesting wheat in her life. Now asking her to harvest wheat is like forcing her to do something too much!
There was no way out. His father's order was an imperial decree, and she had to do it whether she wanted to or not.
Cheng Mingyue calmed down and went to the field with a sickle in hand, looking very proud and confident.
She first secretly observed how others harvested the wheat, and found that it was very simple. She just held the wheat with her left hand and used the sickle with her right hand to harvest it.
Then……
Cheng Mingyue discovered that she had learned the technique of fighting with both hands as described in martial arts novels.
Fight with left foot and right hand.
The sickle cut a big hole in the shoe on the left foot, and it looked like it was laughing at Cheng Mingyue's arrogance with its mouth wide open.
"Hahahahahahahahaha, I never thought a girl from the countryside could be even dumber than us!"
Cheng Mingyue was feeling sad when she heard Ma Weiguo's mocking voice. She was so angry that her lungs almost exploded.
Cheng Mingyue glared at Ma Weiguo, "Shut your dog mouth, I was just careless just now, do you think I'm as stupid as you?"
It's better to lose the battle than the fight. Cheng Mingyue didn't want to be laughed at by Ma Weiguo, so she prepared herself mentally and picked up the sickle to work again.
Fortunately, he didn't let her down this time. Cheng Mingyue raised her eyebrows proudly at Ma Weiguo: "See? I've been harvesting wheat since I was a child. How could I not know how to do it? Come and learn from me!"
Ma Weiguo's face turned red after being insulted by Cheng Mingyue. He wanted to retort a few more words, but when he met Lu Chen's gloomy eyes, he suddenly became like a defeated rooster and dared not say a word.
After more than half a year of getting along, Ma Weiguo now has some understanding of Lu Chen. In the beginning, in order to win Lu Yao's favor, he did spread a lot of gossip about Lu Chen like a big mouth.
But gradually, he realized that something was wrong.
