Chapter 34: The Ugly Ger’s Farming Story

“Quick! Quick! Quick! Come up!”

Li Changfeng and his companions had just stepped out of the pharmacy when they saw Uncle Xie returning from Wu’s house with a donkey cart. The group carefully placed the unconscious Xie Yu on the cart. Xu Qing attentively held an umbrella for Xie Yu, while Uncle Xie cradled him in his arms, providing warmth.

Because it had been raining for the past few days, there weren’t many pedestrians on the road. Uncle Xie was in a hurry, so they arrived at Lin’s Pharmacy soon enough.

“I came to this pharmacy a few years ago when I injured my leg. Whenever there’s a cold or something, I come here. Trustworthy!” Uncle Xie explained while carrying Xie Yu on his back.

Although Xie Yu had been ill for a long time, the medicines were obtained by Ma Ama, who sought cheaper options from another place with mediocre medical skills. However, this time, after Xie Yu returned home, Uncle Xie personally came to Lin’s Pharmacy to get the medicines. Seeing that Xie Yu’s health had improved considerably after taking the medicine, it was the words from Zhonghua that had provoked him like this!

“Doctor Lin, please take a look at my son!” Uncle Xie and the others anxiously called out to the old Doctor Lin, who was tidying up the counter, as they placed Xie Yu on a chair beside the medicine cabinet.

Doctor Lin was the elderly man who Xu Qing sold medicinal herbs, and it was under his name that Xu Qing face had been “cured.”

Doctor Lin examined Xie Yu and said, “Qi agitation attacking the heart, old illness not fully healed. Although it’s troublesome, it’s not a major issue. Don’t worry excessively.” He then noticed that Xie Yu and Xu Qing’s clothes were wet because Xu Qing tried to catch Xie Yu but failed, resulting in both of them getting wet. Doctor Lin furrowed his brow, “Both of you young ones have wet clothes. It’s not good for your health. Find a way to change them.”

“Oh dear, I was too careless. How did I not think of this!” Xie Ama slapped his own head and quickly handed his things to Uncle Xie. “You stay here and watch over him, Brother Qing. We’ll go buy some clothes for you and Xiaoyu.” Xie Yu was already in poor health, and it wouldn’t be good for him to wear wet clothes. As for Xu Qing, who had just gotten married, in case there was good news, falling ill wouldn’t be good!

“Alright, I’ll go. You and Uncle Xie stay here and take care!” Xu Qing also felt the chill when the wind blew on the wet parts of his clothes. After a few words of instruction from Li Changfeng, he followed Xie Ama and left.

“Fangliang! Come out and help!” After shouting towards the backyard, Uncle Xie saw the young doctor who had treated his leg years ago coming out. It had been several years, and Lin Fangliang had grown taller. Although he had become darker, he had an energetic demeanor, exuding a sense of authority even more than the constables at the yamen.

“Changfeng? Is your family sick?” As soon as Lin Fangliang came out, he saw Li Changfeng standing at the entrance. They had been assigned to the same small group in the military camp five years ago, along with second Wei and Chen Qi. They were all good friends.

Li Changfeng didn’t expect that Lin Fangliang’s family owned this pharmacy. Although he knew that Lin Fangliang’s family practiced medicine in the military camp, he hadn’t inquired much about it. “No, it’s Uncle Xie’s son.”

When Lin Fangliang heard the surname Xie, his heart trembled. “Young doctor, it’s been a long time!” Uncle Xie also felt relieved when he heard Doctor Lin say that Xie Yu was not in serious condition. He greeted the person who had saved his leg years ago.

“It has been a long time…”

Lin Fangliang looked at Xie Yu, who had been placed on the exam bed in the pharmacy by Doctor Lin and Uncle Xie, and murmured a response. However, he didn’t know if he was addressing Uncle Xie, who greeted him, or Xie Yu, whom he had briefly encountered five years ago.

Although Lin Fangliang was anxious to know about Xie Yu’s condition, he hesitated due to their respective identities and didn’t step forward to take his pulse. He remembered that Xie Yu had already been engaged five years ago, and by now, he was probably married for many years.

The thought of Xie Yu being married filled Lin Fangliang’s heart with bitterness. He had thought it was just a passing acquaintance, but he didn’t expect that Xie Yu had occupied a place in his heart for these five years, lingering and unable to be dispelled.

“This young man drank a medicine made from tiger and wolf herbs in his earlier years. Now he suffers from qi urgency attacking his heart. He needs more rest and recuperation, otherwise…” The old Doctor Lin didn’t continue his sentence but shook his head. This young man’s health was too poor. If not properly cared for, he would likely be plagued by many illnesses in the future.

“Doctor, please treat my son. No matter how much money it takes, as long as my son’s health is restored, I’m willing to give you anything, even my life without hesitation!” Uncle Xie immediately knelt down, pleading with old Doctor Lin to cure Xie Yu.

“What are you doing?! Get up! Get up! Fangliang!” Old Doctor Lin hurriedly avoided Uncle Xie’s kneeling and tried to help him up. However, Uncle Xie was as stubborn as an ox and couldn’t be pulled up no matter how hard he tried. In helplessness, he had to ask Lin Fangliang to lend a hand.

Lin Fangliang held Uncle Xie’s hand and exerted a steady force to lift him up. Seeing that Uncle Xie wanted to kneel again, he quickly spoke, “Please rest assured. My father said that as long as he can recover through proper rest and care, there won’t be any issues. You don’t need to worry too much.”

“What’s going on?! Could something have happened to my Xiaoyu?!” As Xie Ama and a dressed-up Xu Qing entered the pharmacy, they saw Uncle Xie was trying to kneel in front of old Doctor Lin and a young man. Seeing this, Xie Ama thought something must have happened to Xie Yu!

“It’s alright, it’s alright. Your husband is just overly concerned. Hurry, let your husband change his wet clothes. We have a temporary room in the backyard. Fangliang, you lead them to the room and then go prepare a dose of medicine. When Brother Xie wakes up, give it to him to drink.” Old doctor Lin couldn’t do anything about Uncle Xie. He was afraid that his legs might act up again and he would kneel on the ground.

After hearing Old doctor Lin’s words, Xie Ama and Xu Qing felt a mix of amusement and helplessness. Subsequently, they had Xie Yu taken to the room, with Uncle Xie changing his clothes, Lin Fangliang preparing the medicine, and Xie Ama waiting outside. Xu Qing and Li Changfeng went to the market to buy the tools needed for woodworking. Li Changfeng had already decided on the type of cabinet to buy from Wei’s second son and needed the tools to work on it.

“It’s chilly, isn’t it? It’s my fault for not noticing that you were wearing wet clothes and letting you wear them for so long.” As Li Changfeng and Xu Qing left the pharmacy, Li Changfeng took the initiative to apologize to Xu Qing. Later, he would ask old doctor Lin to prescribe another dose of medicine just in case Xu Qing caught a cold and needed preparation.

Xu Qing tugged at his new clothes and shook his head. “How can I blame you? In that situation, who would have paid attention to these things? It was only when old doctor Lin mentioned it at the pharmacy that I realized I felt a bit chilly.”

Li Changfeng held the umbrella over Xu Qing, tilting it mostly towards Xu Qing’s head. The drizzling rain fell lightly on Li Changfeng’s shoulders, but his eyes were full of warmth, reserved only for the person beside him.

“Oh, isn’t that…?”

“Li Changfeng! Li Changfeng! Over here!”

Li Changfeng and Xu Qing suddenly heard someone calling Li Changfeng’s name. Following the voice, Li Changfeng saw a tall man holding a small umbrella, looking somewhat out of place. “Chen Qi, what are you doing in town?”

Chen Qi, swinging his own umbrella, approached Li Changfeng and Xu Qing. “This is…” Chen Qi looked at Li Changfeng, who was now standing beside him, feeling uncertain.

“He’s my wife!” On their wedding day, Chen Qi could only see Li Changfeng and Xu Qing bowing to each other, but he hadn’t seen Xu Qing’s appearance. Although he heard that “Ugly Ger” had improved his looks, Chen Qi still couldn’t believe it. It was only when he saw the clean and presentable Xu Qing in front of him that he had to admit Li Changfeng was a lucky guy!

“Congratulations! Congratulations, brother!” Chen Qi sincerely congratulated Li Changfeng, but as he thought about his own happy occasion, he couldn’t help but show off a bit.

“Just as your happy occasion has passed, mine has just arrived!”

“Do you have a concubine now?” Li Changfeng maintained a poker face but nearly choked Chen Qi with his words. Xu Qing couldn’t help but turn to Li Changfeng and shake his shoulders in laughter.

Chen Qi wanted to strangle Li Changfeng. If it weren’t for the fact that the guy had just gotten married, he would have pulled a sneaky move on him!

“What are you saying? What are you saying! My little brother is getting married! Isn’t that a happy occasion?!”

“Oh, congratulations! When is the date? Which family? We should go and share in the joy as well.” Xu Qing knew that Chen Qi was Li Changfeng’s good friend, so if it was his good friend’s younger brother getting married, they should definitely visit.

Chen Qi gave a blank-faced Li Changfeng a sidelong glance. How could someone who couldn’t speak well be so lucky to marry someone who spoke so eloquently!

“I love hearing that! The date is set for the day after tomorrow! It’s the Ma family who runs the grocery store, and the groom is Ma Fugui. He’s a good person, treats Xiaohong and our parents very well. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to their marriage!”

If someone wants to marry my younger brother, they have to pass my test, or it’s not going to happen! My younger brother is so outstanding, how could he just marry anyone without scrutiny!

“The Ma family! Ma Fugui?!” Xu Qing exclaimed as soon as he heard the name. Today, Zhonghua mentioned that the Ma family would welcome a new member the day after tomorrow. Could it be…

Li Changfeng also didn’t expect that the household Chen Hong was about to marry into was none other than Ma Fugui, who had recently divorced Xie Yu! Xu Qing, who had the same thought, didn’t look too pleased either.

“What’s with your expressions?” Chen Qi had originally wanted to see Li Changfeng and Xu Qing’s expressions of blessing for his younger brother like everyone else, but why did their faces look as if they had eaten shit!
