After the divorce, I returned to my village and became a legendary healer.

My mother looked at the two large bundles and seemed a little lost.

"Mom, don't worry, it's all earned by your son. I treated quite a few patients this time."

"Over the years, your son hasn't been able to properly take care of you," Chen Shi'an said softly.

One sentence brought tears to my mother's eyes: "Just take good care of yourself. Your father and I are still young; we don't need your filial piety."

Chen Shi'an smiled but didn't say anything.

Back then, I rarely came back to Lin Qingxue's place, even once a year.

The elderly couple, who live at home, say they don't miss their son, but they're afraid of hindering his career and worrying about him. They always report good news and never bad.

Looking back now, what was I even thinking?

"Please accept this!"

"Me? I'm saving up some money so I can find a place to use. It's not good for the clinic to keep renting from other people."

"I'll build a big courtyard later."

"Our house needs some renovations too," Chen Shi'an said.

I can't just move into this big courtyard myself and leave my parents to live in this dilapidated brick house.

He could move in together, but he was afraid his mother would be furious if she saw his daily life.

"Okay, Mom will save it for you." Mom nodded.

He took the money, headed towards the counter, then glanced at Chen Jianjun and said, "You go out first."

Chen Jianjun blinked, then lowered his head and walked out.

Chen Shi'an also went out.

The father and son stood in the yard. Chen Shi'an gave Chen Jianjun a cigarette. Chen Jianjun took a puff and said, "This cigarette tastes much better than that Huangguoshu cigarette."

Chen Shi'an couldn't help but smile. "Of course, the prices are different too, five yuan a piece." Chen Shi'an laughed.

"You're getting more and more wasteful!" Chen Jianjun said, glancing at the cigarettes with a hint of heartache.

"That's fine with me too," Chen Jianjun said.

"How could you be offended by me smoking this?" Chen Shi'an said with a smile!

"Hey, you're fifty years old, what difference does it make what you smoke? You can keep that! You might as well give me some money!" Chen Jianjun said in a low voice.

Chen Shi'an was speechless.

"That won't do, my mom would kill me if she found out," Chen Shi'an shook his head.

"You give your mother 200,000 yuan right off the bat, but you won't give me a single cent?" Chen Jianjun said through gritted teeth!

"It seems like several girls have come looking for you these past few days." Seeing that his rascal remained unmoved, Chen Jianjun said quietly.

Chen Shi'an blinked, took a deep breath, and touched his pocket. He still had over a thousand yuan left. Jiang Yao had given him this when he left, saying it was for gas or something, and that he would have to go inside to scan a code, so cash was more convenient.

I filled it with 2,000 yuan worth of gas, and that's what I had left.

"Here you go." Chen Shi'an smiled at Chen Jianjun.

Hey old man, that's impressive! Playing it like that, huh?

Chen Shi'an had a bright smile on his face.

He knew the old man liked to play a couple of small rounds of cards or mahjong, the kind where the stakes were a few dozen yuan.

He dared not, nor could he bear to, give up something too big.

Even the youngest child, the elderly couple used to argue about this quite a bit.

So they all played secretly.

Chen Jianjun took it and gave Chen Shi'an a look that said, "You know what's good for you."

Just then, his mother came out. Chen Shi'an glanced at the sky; the shadow of night had already fallen.

"Mom, I'm going back now, it's getting dark," Chen Shi'an said.

"Go ahead! Be careful." Mom nodded.

He drove the car back to the clinic, where two old men were playing chess. Chen Shi'an watched for a while, but found it uninteresting.

I lay down and started scrolling through my phone.

Jiang Yao sent many messages, and Chen Shi'an replied to them one by one.

The rest was sent by that cheap older sister.

Ask Chen Shi'an if he has arrived home yet.

It was almost eight o'clock, and the two old men were still in high spirits, so Chen Shi'an didn't disturb them.

As night fell, the village became very quiet.

Chen Shi'an didn't drive; he went directly to Li Yue'e's house.

She knocked on the door. "Who is it?" Li Yue'e asked.

"Water Boy," Chen Shi'an said softly.

The door opened, and Li Yue'e glared at Chen Shi'an before pinching him again, unwilling to give up.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you to death!" Li Yue'e said coquettishly!

Chen Shi'an laughed heartily.

As night deepened, footsteps sounded outside, but Li Yue'e remained oblivious.

Chen Shi'an smiled. This time, let's see how she runs.

What Chen had been so focused on, could it really have slipped away?

"Oh, busy, huh!" A light laugh rang out as Shang Jiahui stood beside the two.

Li Yue'e covered her face, not daring to look at Shang Jiahui, but she couldn't control her mouth.

Shang Jiahui took off her coat, and Li Yue'e's eyes widened in surprise.

Chen Shi'an grinned.

The night grew deeper.

Li Yue'e pinched Chen Shi'an repeatedly. Without even asking, she knew that this bastard must have been behind it.

Last time it didn't work, but this time, we finally let this guy's wish come true.

Moreover, Shang Jiahui's boldness was beyond her expectations; she wouldn't even dare to dream of wearing such clothes.

Chen Shi'an didn't say anything, he just smiled.

"Alright, I should go back now. I came out quietly, but the girl woke me up again." Shang Jiahui glanced at the two of them.

"No wonder Shi An likes it; she is indeed exceptionally talented." Shang Jiahui giggled, making Li Yue'e close her eyes in embarrassment.

"Go and see her off. Is she alright on her own?"

"You know the village was haunted before." Although Li Yue'e was embarrassed and annoyed, she still pushed Chen Shi'an.

Shang Jiahui chuckled. "Didn't you tell her?"

Chen Shi'an shook his head.

Shang Jiahui blinked, then whispered a few words to Li Yue'e.

Li Yue'e looked at Chen Shi'an and said, "Is this guy really that bad?"

"What do you think? If things hadn't gone wrong, would tonight have happened?" Shang Jiahui blinked, then put on her coat and left alone.

Li Yue'e looked at Chen Shi'an and asked, "You didn't deliberately arrange Yang Erxiao's incident before, did you?"

Chen Shi'an chuckled, "It's a shame you're not writing novels with that kind of brain. Do you think I'd go that far?" Chen Shi'an said irritably.

"Yang Hongyu's situation is because he messed with me first, okay?"

"Hmph! In short, you're not a good person either," Li Yue'e said with a light scolding.

Chen Shi'an laughed heartily, "Afraid she'll make fun of you?" Chen Shi'an said with a smile!

"You didn't even ask for my permission," Li Yue'e said through gritted teeth!

"Look, I just got back and came straight here. What will she think if she finds out? Isn't that favoritism? Right?" Chen Shi'an said with a smile!

"Stop making excuses," Li Yue'e said coquettishly.

What can she do now that things are like this?

Li Yue'e is the kind of person who is very reserved, but once she gets you, she will be devoted to you.

Chen Shi'an smiled and said, "Go back to your old ways! You should keep in touch with Sister Hui more often. I send you information, but you never read it."

"Pah, how dare you say that?" Li Yue'e said coquettishly.

That bastard, he just kept thinking about her. How come she didn't look at him? Her face burned like fire, she didn't even dare to think about it.

Chen Shi'an smiled and tightened his grip on Li Yue'e's soft body.

Li Yue'e calmed down.

The next morning, Chen Shi'an arrived at the clinic early to open it.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Guo had already gotten up.

They were strolling around in the yard.
