“Xiaoxu, when those officers came in just now asking where you were, they even took my phone away because they were afraid I might tip you off. Thankfully, everything is all right now.”

Lin Xiaoxu patted Shen Yulian on the back and comforted her gently for several moments before taking an exquisite bag from the motorcycle’s storage compartment and placing it in her hands.

“This… this is a Huawei phone! And it has a smart touchscreen!”

The reason Shen Yulian recognized the Huawei logo was that, when she had once gone to a phone shop in town to buy a basic phone for the elderly, the shopkeeper had tried desperately to sell her a Huawei smartphone, praising its convenience, practicality, and excellent signal.

But it cost more than a thousand yuan!

She could not have afforded it then, and even now, she still could not.

“Wow, it’s purple. It’s so beautiful.”

Shen Yulian held the purple Huawei smartphone carefully in her palms. The cautious way she handled it made it look as though she were holding a priceless treasure.

“Sister-in-law, I sold the guavas to Song Qingxin this morning and received twenty-nine thousand yuan in payment altogether. I bought two Huawei smartphones, and I also bought you seven sets of underwear, Thai fragrant rice, pig’s feet, pork leg bones… This is the remaining ten thousand yuan or so. Keep it and spend it however you like. Don’t pinch pennies anymore.”

Lin Xiaoxu pushed a thick stack of red banknotes into Shen Yulian’s hand.

To keep from frightening her, he left out the fact that he had saved Chen Bao’s life and received a medical fee of one million yuan.

Shen Yulian was completely stunned.

After becoming Xiaoxu’s wife, her face had returned to its youthful beauty. She could eat meat, cook with gas, use a smartphone, and spend piles of money however she pleased…

Such happiness had come too suddenly. Even now, she still could not believe it. If this was a dream, she prayed that Heaven would let her remain in it until the day she died.

“Xiaoxu, you’re truly too good to me!” Shen Yulian rose onto her toes and planted a deep kiss on his cheek.

Lin Xiaoxu returned her kiss…

—

Because he had transferred too much vital energy and spiritual energy into Chen Bao to save his life, Lin Xiaoxu’s head was still somewhat dizzy, and he was utterly exhausted.

But that morning, he had already promised Chen Xiuhong that he would go and treat Lin Guohua’s illness. He could not go back on his word.

Otherwise, it would damage his reputation in the village.

“Xiaoxu, go on. I’ll make dinner and wait here for you to come home and eat.”

Lin Xiaoxu connected the gas cylinder to the stove and taught Shen Yulian how to use the gas, the stove, and the rice cooker properly. Only then did he feel at ease leaving for Lin Manru’s house.

Shen Yulian was overjoyed. She kept looking back and forth between the gas stove and the rice cooker.

She could not resist reaching out to touch them several times. This was her first time using a gas stove and a rice cooker—how could she not be excited?

After Lin Xiaoxu left, Shen Yulian shut the front door tightly and returned to the bedroom.

She took the seven sets of underwear from the bag and laid them out on the bed one by one.

Looking at the seven sets, each with a different color and style and made from exceptionally soft fabric, Shen Yulian could not help comparing them with the ten-yuan sets she had worn before. The difference was like heaven and earth.

Suddenly, her nose tingled, and tears poured down her face.

Shen Yulian took off all her clothes and changed into a pink lace set…

“Lin Xiaoxu, what are you doing at my house?”

When Lin Xiaoxu suddenly appeared outside her front door, the alarm bells in Chen Xiuhong’s heart immediately began to ring.

In the past, whenever Lin Xiaoxu came to her house, her crippled husband would act like the merciful Goddess of Mercy, giving Xiaoxu rice, live chickens, and whatever else he could find for the young man to take home and eat.

Most infuriating of all, she had once caught Lin Guohua secretly slipping Lin Xiaoxu a ten-yuan note.

She had been furious. Their own family was so poor that even the pots and pans rang hollow, yet Lin Guohua still had the nerve to worry about that idiot!

And if all the times she had not caught him were included, who knew how much money Lin Guohua had spent on Lin Xiaoxu?

Chen Xiuhong spread her arms like an eagle and blocked Lin Xiaoxu from entering.

“Auntie Hong, I promised you this morning that I would come over this afternoon to treat Uncle Lin’s illness and his legs!”

Chen Xiuhong’s shriveled, sagging breasts swayed right before Lin Xiaoxu’s eyes, making him feel extremely awkward.

“You worthless idiot, you really do love bragging! If you can cure my husband’s illness and fix his legs, I’ll eat dirt!”

Lin Xiaoxu thought, Auntie Hong, what kind of strange preference is that?

Still, since you’re my elder, I suppose this junior of yours should do his best to satisfy you.

“Mom, can you stop talking nonsense?”

Because Chen Xiuhong had been inside applying medicine to Lin Guohua, she had missed the remarkable scene earlier, when Lin Xiaoxu had skillfully dealt with the officers and the village chief. That was why she had spoken so recklessly in front of him.

Lin Manru tried to stop her mother, but it was already too late.

“Xiaoxu, my mother was too harsh just now. Don’t take it to heart.”

Lin Manru pulled Chen Xiuhong, who was still standing with her arms spread like an eagle, to one side.

“As a junior, how could I possibly take offense at Auntie Hong, my elder?” Lin Xiaoxu said with deliberate magnanimity. “I’ll go in and take a look at Uncle Lin first.”

After Lin Xiaoxu entered Lin Guohua’s room, Chen Xiuhong turned on Lin Manru and roared:

“You unfilial daughter! You’ve actually entrusted your father’s life to that idiot. Are you planning to burn incense for him at your father’s grave next Tomb-Sweeping Festival?”

Lin Manru gave a bitter smile.

“Mom, four years ago, Xiaoxu was the first person in Peach Blossom Village to be admitted to a prestigious university. He got into medical school, so he does know medicine.

“Besides, we’ve spent plenty of money on my father’s illnesses and put him through all kinds of examinations. He’s had countless injections and taken more medicines than anyone could count, yet none of them worked. Since Xiaoxu says he’s confident he can cure Dad, why not let him try?”

Chen Xiuhong was rendered speechless.

How could she not understand that logic?

But what she feared most was that Lin Xiaoxu might treat her husband to death. That idiot lacked legal capacity and would not even be held responsible. If that happened, who would she be able to seek justice from?

“Ah—!”

A scream burst from inside the room, startling the mother and daughter standing by the entrance so badly that they leaped into the air.

Lin Guohua lay on the bed, his face as pale as though it had been coated in lime. Beads of sweat the size of beans covered his forehead. His emaciated body trembled uncontrollably, the corners of his eyes twitching violently as he let out hoarse hissing sounds from time to time.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoxu was holding a handful of silver needles and stabbing them into the soles of Lin Guohua’s feet in a completely haphazard manner.

When Chen Xiuhong and Lin Manru entered, this was the scene they witnessed.
