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

Chapter 85 A creature born of a father but raised without one

Chen Liang's appearance caught everyone's attention, as there were very few doctors in Pingchuan County and even the entire Datang area.

Many people at the scene recognized Chen Liang, and they all stepped back to make way for him.

Chen Liang lifted Zhang Laizi and Granny Hua's eyelids to take a look, and said coldly, "They're dead."

Huh? No way, really!
Everyone was dumbfounded. They hadn't even tried to kill them, so how could these two have died?

The onlookers never expected that their casual visit would lead them to a murder case.

Two people died at once, and it was them who did it.

Seeing the pale faces of everyone, Chen Liang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Although they are dead, I can bring them back to life."

What do you mean by dead or not? Those two on the ground are just faking it.

He could tell everything just by flipping their eyelids and feeling their pulse.

Chen Liang took out a silver needle and poked Granny Hua's philtrum.

"Ah..." Granny Hua cried out and sat up abruptly.

She covered her philtrum and backed away in fear, "What...what do you want to do?"

Chen Liang said irritably, "I saved your life."

As he spoke, he took an even longer needle and walked up to Zhang Laizi.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? I'm fine!" Zhang Laizi, who had been lying motionless on the ground, suddenly jumped up.

He moved his arms and legs, trying to prove that he was alright.

When everyone saw that the two people had actually come back to life, they were filled with admiration for Chen Liang's medical skills.

"A miracle doctor, Dr. Chen, is amazing!"

"A divine doctor can save lives with just one silver needle."

"You can tell if a doctor is good or not the moment he makes a move."

As everyone patted the horse, Chen Liang seemed to be in a good mood today. He smiled humbly and said, "You flatter me, everyone."

While everyone was praising Chen Liang, Zhang Laizi and Granny Hua exchanged a glance and then ran off.

Li Ruru stared at the two people's backs and said with a smile, "Oh my, how come this old lady Hua runs faster than a rabbit?"

After saying that, she glanced around and saw that Ren Si Niang and Liu Pozi's family, who had just been causing trouble here, had also disappeared.

She scoffed inwardly, "That's it!"

I thought they were so powerful, but they were still brought down by her.

She successfully quelled a smear campaign against her, which was not only a victory for her personally, but also a victory for the entire Pingchuan County.

Many of the women and girls present also learned a trick: when dealing with Huang Yao, they didn't need to prove their innocence or explain themselves to anyone; they could simply use their fists to solve the problem and show the people spreading Huang Yao's rumors who the boss really was.

If you ever dare to spread rumors about me again, I'll break your legs.

Another method is to spread rumors about the other party, making them nervous, have to explain, and have to prove their innocence.

If he's lewd, you're even more lewd than him; if he says vulgar things, you're even more vulgar than him.

Let's see who can't take it anymore.

This method is good, but it is not suitable for many people because many people care about their reputation and are unwilling to take the risk.

Li Ruru is not the shy or timid type; when facing bad people, she can be even more ruthless and vicious than them.

Today she gave Ren Si Niang, who had been hopping around right under her nose, a good beating, and was in a pretty good mood.

She addressed the onlookers directly, saying, "Thank you all for your help today. Tomorrow, my family will give away a bowl of konjac tofu to everyone for free."

After she finished speaking, she looked around carefully, trying to remember everyone's appearance.

"Very well, Madam Li is so generous."

"I'll definitely come earlier tomorrow to eat."

The crowd dispersed, chatting and laughing, as everyone went about their business.

Chen Liang packed his medicine kit and prepared to leave. Li Ruru quickly stepped forward and said, "Dr. Chen, are you going back to the village? I'll see you off."

Without saying another word, he picked up Chen Liang's medicine box and walked forward. After taking a few steps, he turned around and waved to Chen Liang with a smile, "Dr. Chen, hurry up, the oxcart is over there."

Chen Liang had no choice but to follow.

When the group arrived at the cattle pen, He Dajiao happened to be there as well.

He was talking excitedly to a man when he saw Chen Liang and immediately ran over.

Ignoring Li Ruru and the others, he said directly to Chen Liang, "Liangzi, come and take a look at my cow. It was tricked and fell down."

After saying that, he glared at Li Ruru fiercely.

Peipei rolled her eyes. "Who would scheme against you for no reason? I think it must be because you're always scheming against others that even God couldn't stand it anymore and decided to punish you."

"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat? You were born of a father but not raised by one!" He Dajiao said viciously.

Peipei retorted without flinching, "With your foul mouth, you're a disgrace to your parents. How dare you talk about me like that? You should watch your own stinking mouth first!"

Li Ruru couldn't help but give her daughter a thumbs up, "Well said."

The mother and her daughters burst into laughter, while He Dajiao was so angry that his nose twisted.

But right now he couldn't afford to argue with Li Ruru and the others; the most important thing was to heal his cow.

Otherwise, his money-making business would be gone.

He injured a whole carload of people in the morning, and he spent five taels of silver just on medical expenses.

That's five taels of silver! How many days of hard work would it take him to earn that back? It's all Li Ruru's fault.

Foolish people, even when they do something wrong, will only blame others.

"Dr. Chen, come with me quickly, the cow is over there."

Although his ox had sprained its ankle, it still managed to pull the cartload of people to the county town.

What a fine old ox it was, yet it was tortured and injured by Li Ruru.

She is simply the worst woman in the world.

He Dajiao looked at Li Ruru with eyes that seemed to want to devour her.

Li Ruru met his gaze and leisurely took out a handful of melon seeds.

"Dr. Chen, we're not in a hurry to go home. We'll wait for you here."

Although He Dajiao was a scoundrel, she still owed Chen Liang 42 taels of silver. Besides, the feud between the two of them had nothing to do with Doctor Chen.

Chen Liang was in a good mood, but seeing He Dajiao made him inexplicably irritable.

He asked coldly, "You said your cow is injured? You want me to go see it?"

He Dajiao replied, "Yes, she must have sprained her ankle; she's limping."

"Dr. Chen, will it get better in the next few days? What if it delays my ox's recovery? My whole family is counting on this ox to earn money for food."

He Dajiao rambled on and on, unaware that Chen Liang's expression was growing increasingly grim.

He continued, "Dr. Chen, how much do you charge for your medical services? My ox sprained its ankle last time and we went to the doctor in the next village, and he only charged us 5 coins."

I know the market price, so don't try to fool me.

"Look, we're from the same village, we see each other all the time, you'll definitely give me a discount, right?"

Chen Liang was thoroughly annoyed by him and asked in a deep voice, "Are you done talking?"

He Dajiao touched her nose. "Also, stop prescribing me ridiculously expensive medicine. A dose that lasts for three days is enough."

He thought that three days was enough time; it was just a sprained ankle, and he should be almost fully recovered.

Chen Liang couldn't hold back any longer and burst out cursing, "Are you out of your mind? Which eye of yours saw me treat an animal?"

He's not a veterinarian, so why is this person stopping him and talking on and on?

He Dajiao still couldn't understand human language. "So what? You can show it to humans, but not to animals?"
You're just a lousy doctor, aren't you? Look how arrogant you are.

I'm a full twelve years older than you; you should call me Uncle He when you see me.
