Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 217 The Bad Guy Loses All His Teeth

Some of the older men, who had bad tempers, had already started swearing.

"Crazy woman, stop trying to make yourself look good."

"Give me money? I'll slap you, want some?"

Some of the better-tempered ones stared blankly at Nie Tianlei.

Thinking that if he also sided with the Zhao family, should they have to pay her the consultation fee?

I only received one coin, do I need to pay some more now?
For the people of Chenjia Village, even a single penny is as precious as the grain grown in the fields.

Nie Tianlei scoffed and said to Zhao Shi, "You're hilarious. Do I know you? The people who saved me were the Li family. What does it have to do with you?"

Who do you think you are, yelling and disrupting my medical appointment?

When Chen Liang saw someone bullying his master, he immediately stood up and cursed, "Old Zhao, if you keep acting crazy, I'll knock your teeth out."

Yin Yin clapped her hands and said, "Knock out teeth, knock out teeth."

Taking advantage of her age, Zhao didn't take Chen Liang and Nie Tianlei seriously at all.

She shouted, "Everyone come and see! This person is ungrateful and heartless; he deserves to die a horrible death!"

Everyone in Chenjia Village knows about Li Ruru's rescue yesterday.

Everyone looked at her with disdain. "You always want to take advantage of good things? You're the most shameless person in the whole village!"

Zhao stood with her hands on her hips and confronted the crowd, the back-and-forth exchange filled with tension.

Nie Tianlei watched coldly from the sidelines, while Chen Liang stood firmly in front of him, protecting him.

Yinyin fiddled with the money bag in her hand, leisurely counting the money she had earned that day.

Although the price of one coin per string is cheap, the sheer number of people buying them is overwhelming.

"Dr. Nie, look, I've earned 32 coins."

She happily took the money bag and looked up at Nie Tianlei.

Nie Tianlei gave her a faint smile.

"Give it to me!" Granny Zhao suddenly rushed over and snatched the money away.

Having gotten the money she wanted, she turned and ran.

Suddenly, I felt unwell all over, and my feet wouldn't obey me and I stood still.

"Ah, my body... I can't move!" she cried out in terror.

Chen Bingxiao, who was following behind her, gave her a push in annoyance, "Run! What are you dawdling for?"

Chen Jingang simply snatched the money bag from Zhao's hand.

As soon as he got the money bag, he felt a tingling numbness in his legs and lost all feeling.

The three looked at each other and exclaimed in horror, "A ghost!"

The crowd looked at the three men suspiciously. They seemed possessed, their faces filled with panic as they muttered curses but remained motionless.

Nie Tianlei calmly put away the silver needles and deliberately asked loudly, "Oh dear, what's wrong with you all? Should I take your pulses?"

Zhao cried out in a hoarse voice, her throat like a broken bellows, unable to produce a sound.

The same applies to Chen Jingang and Chen Bingxiao.

Nie Tianlei shrugged and said, "Since you're unwilling, then forget it."

He then pulled Yin Yin up and said, "Let's go home."

Yinyin said indignantly, "They are bad people. Bad people should all lose their teeth."

Nie Tianlei smiled slightly, "Yes, you're right."

Chen Liang wanted to follow, but Nie Tianlei glared at him, and he immediately stopped in his tracks, looking embarrassed.

The excitement under the soapberry tree continued, with everyone surrounding Zhao Shi, Chen Bingxiao, and Chen Jingang, watching them with great curiosity.

Someone came up and tickled the three of them, but they didn't react.

Someone tried punching, kicking, and spitting in his face.

Someone started hurling vicious curses, directly insulting the Chen family's ancestors for eighteen generations.

But the three of them stood there like statues, completely motionless.

Only in his eyes did the flames of anger burn.

The others found it amusing and kept testing the three of them in various ways.

Only after trying all the methods and getting tired of playing did they reluctantly go home.

As darkness fell, the three members of the Zhao family were forgotten by the Chen family.

They didn't find the three until midnight.

They remained the same, so the Chen family could only carry the people back first. It wasn't until dawn that the three Zhao family members' stiff bodies recovered.

Chen Bingxiao said in a hoarse voice, "I'm starving, hurry up and cook."

He didn't eat lunch or dinner, yet he was fully conscious; it was incredibly torturous.

When the wild vegetable porridge was served, Chen Bingxiao picked up the bowl and devoured it.

Zhao and Chen Jingang also devoured their meal, but the three of them suddenly stopped halfway through.

Chen Bingxiao found something hard in his food, spat it out, and cursed, "Damn it, did you put a stone in my food?"

Wang Shuixia was wrongly accused: "No, it didn't happen."

Zhao and Chen Jingang also ate something that was hard to swallow. When they spat it out, they were immediately shocked.

What they held in their hands wasn't a stone at all; it was clearly a tooth.

"Ah, what... what's going on?" Zhao exclaimed in surprise.

She was always very healthy before, how did she suddenly lose her teeth?

Chen Bingxiao was also shocked, but Chen Jingang had the strongest reaction.

"Mother, Mother, am I going to die?"

His hair stood on end in terror. He wasn't even twenty yet, how could he have lost his teeth for no reason?

Wang Shuixia was also quite frightened, and said tremblingly, "Why don't you go see a doctor?"

"Let's go, let's go quickly." Zhao pulled Chen Bingxiao toward Chen Liang's house.

Soon, the two returned.

Chen Liang told them a painful truth: "It's normal to lose teeth when you get old, what's the big deal?"

Chen Jingang did not go to find Chen Liang. Wang Shuixia took him to the county town to find a doctor because she did not trust Chen Liang.

The doctor in the county town took the pulse and examined the tongue coating, and after a long time of fussing over it, he listed a whole host of illnesses.

The prescription for the medicine was ten pages long, which nearly scared Wang Shuixia and Chen Jingang to death.

More frightening than the illness itself was the medical bill, which was a whopping 50 taels of silver.

Why wait any longer? They don't want to be taken advantage of.

Back home, Wang Shuixia observed her son for a few days and found that he was only missing a front tooth, and everything else was normal.

He immediately felt relieved, saying, "Son, don't worry, that doctor was just trying to scare you."

Chen Jingang asked dejectedly, "Mother, will my teeth grow back?"

Wang Shuixia couldn't bear to discourage her son, "Of course you can, you're still young, everything can grow."

Chen Jingang was skeptical, but he looked in the mirror for several days in a row, and eventually got used to his missing tooth.

After this incident, the three members of the Zhao family would avoid Nie Tianlei whenever they saw him.

They were convinced that it was Dr. Nie who was behind it, but they had no evidence. To avoid losing another tooth for no reason, they could only choose not to provoke him.

Yinyin saw the three people with missing teeth from afar and clapped her hands happily.

He turned his head and grabbed Nie Tianlei's collar.

Nie Tianlei squatted down and asked, "What's wrong?"

Without saying a word, Yin Yin kissed him.

"Dr. Nie is really amazing."

They could kill someone from a thousand miles away without anyone noticing.

Nie Tianlei chuckled and said, "This is nothing. Next time they bully you, I'll make them lose all their teeth."

"Okay, okay, let them all fall off and starve to death!" Yinyin skipped and clapped her hands, in a great mood.

Under Chu Xiu's arrangement, dozens of men gathered at Li Ruru's house.

The houses sprouted up like bamboo shoots every day, changing every single day.

The roof beam was raised quickly, and the family moved in not long after.

The bridge is repaired, the houses are built, and the next step is to build roads.

Chu Xiu and Chao Chao walked on the muddy road, feeling depressed.

"Chaochao, do you think I should go find my father?"

He was afraid that if he went back, his father would detain him again and he wouldn't be able to return.

She was even more afraid that when he came back, Chaochao's feelings for him would fade.
