Chapter 21: The Widow's Door
"Xiaotian, you offended Xu Shimin. Will he come to cause trouble for you later?" On the way home, Ling Mengyao asked Lin Xiaotian with some concern.
"I can't say whether he will cause trouble for me, but I know that he will definitely come to me later. In fact, I have investigated Xu Shimin before. His family has a deep background, but it is precisely because of this that he limits his life direction. Well, you will know this later." Lin Xiaotian smiled and did not explain too much to Ling Mengyao.
Although Lin Xiaotian did not expect this scene today, Lin Xiaotian now has great confidence.
It was already night when Lin Xiaotian returned to Shanghe Village. As soon as Lin Xiaotian came back, Aunt Huang appeared excitedly at Lin Xiaotian's doorstep and said to Lin Xiaotian with a smile: "Xiaotian, when you left at that time, Widow Chen came to you with a pale face. I don't know if it was for the sake of medical treatment. I didn't pay attention at that time, and I saw this scene when I passed by your doorstep."
"I understand, thank you, Aunt Huang." Lin Xiaotian nodded and replied to Aunt Huang with a smile.
"You're welcome, everyone is a fellow villager, so it's time to help each other." Seeing that Lin Xiaotian did not give her benefits, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
The name of Widow Chen has some impression in Lin Xiaotian's memory. It seems that Zhang Wenqiang was working outside the city a few years ago and accidentally saved a girl, and then the girl came back and married him.
At that time, this incident was almost an explosion news, and the reason was that Widow Chen looked too far and harmed the country and the people.
It’s just a pity that a few days after Widow Chen married Zhang Wenqiang, news came that Zhang Wenqiang died unexpectedly at the construction site. Since then, Widow Chen has not married again and has always adhered to her duties and assumed the responsibility of raising Zhang Wenqiang’s parents.
"Well, go over and take a look." Lin Xiaotian didn't think much about it. After all, as Aunt Huang said, everyone is a fellow villager. Lin Xiaotian is now the only doctor in the village, so it's not a big deal to help the villagers treat the disease.
Lin Xiaotian brought some things and hurried towards Widow Chen's house.
"Is anyone here? I am Lin Xiaotian." More than ten minutes later, Lin Xiaotian came to a dilapidated house, knocked on the door and asked inside.
After a while, the door opened, and a woman in coarse linen stood in front of Lin Xiaotian. Even though her clothes were a little worn, she still could not cover her beautiful figure and beautiful face.
Looking at the pale face in front of him, Lin Xiaotian was slightly stunned.
"I just came back and heard Aunt Huang say you came to me at that time, so I'll come and see if you're sick." Lin Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said politely.
Although the other party is beautiful and full of the charm of a mature woman, Lin Xiaotian has no idea. Such a woman deserves Lin Xiaotian's respect.
"Forest……"
"Sister Chen, call me Xiaotian. Everyone is a fellow villager. Don't be so polite." Lin Xiaotian smiled slightly.
"Okay, Xiaotian, I'm going to trouble you. Come in and have a drink of water first." Widow Chen forced a smile on her face, nodded to Lin Xiaotian, and then took Lin Xiaotian into the yard; but when Lin Xiaotian just walked into the yard, a figure flashed outside the room.
When I walked into the yard, I saw that the yard was clean and without any mess. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Although it was a little poor, it gave people a feeling of comfort.
"Sister Chen, have you felt a little chest tightness recently, and your lower abdomen is still a little painful from time to time?" Lin Xiaotian walked into the room, sat down casually, and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, it's just that this problem happened a few months ago. But at that time, because there was no doctor in the village and it was not serious, I didn't care. I just didn't expect the pain to worsen recently, so I planned to come to see you at that time." A look of surprise flashed in Widow Chen's beautiful eyes.
She has heard about Lin Xiaotian for a long time ago, but she didn't believe it very much before, but now it seems that the rumors about Lin Xiaotian before are true.
"Xiaotian, does this disease cost a lot of money? If this is the case, I won't see it." Widow Chen suddenly remembered a key question and asked Lin Xiaotian.
"My sister Chen has been taking care of her two elders after Brother Zhang's death over the years. I, Lin Xiaotian, admired this very much. In addition, everyone is a fellow villager, so as long as I can cure this disease, I will not charge Sister Chen a penny." Lin Xiaotian shook his head, dispelling the widow Chen's concerns.
After saying that, Lin Xiaotian ignored Widow Chen's mouth and directly landed his hand on Widow Chen's wrist. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes looking, listening, asking and touching, but the more he pressed down, Lin Xiaotian's face showed a little solemnity and a little strangeness, which made Widow Chen a little frightened.
"Xiaotian, what's wrong? Is my disease difficult to cure?" Lin Xiaotian withdrew his hand and asked Lin Xiaotian with a worried look on his face.
"How to say, your disease is not big, but it is not small. Before that, I want to ask you a question first. Do you plan to get married again?" Lin Xiaotian sighed and asked Widow Chen.
"What are you asking about this? Does it have anything to do if I get married or not have anything to do with my illness?" When he heard Lin Xiaotian's words, a little disgust rose on Widow Chen's face.
Over the years, I don’t know how many people have made her a move, but in the end she has been ruthlessly rejected; even though Lin Xiaotian is still a little young, she is still a normal man after all; now when he suddenly asks this question, Widow Chen subconsciously thinks that Lin Xiaotian also wants to make her a move.
"Sister Chen, you misunderstood what I mean; I said before, I admire you very much, so I won't make any decisions about you. It's just that your disease is caused by yin and yang disorder in traditional Chinese medicine, so I will ask you this question." Lin Xiaotian smiled bitterly, with a little helplessness on his face.
"Ah? Then... Is there any other way besides this method?" Widow Chen heard Lin Xiaotian's words, a blush appeared on her pale cheeks, which made her look even more attractive.
"Since ancient times, yin and yang can only promote physical and mental health. This is not something I made up at will. If Sister Chen does not intend to get married, I can also prescribe a few medicines for you to relieve your body. But if it goes on for a long time, the body will be damaged, and the medicine can be picked on the back of the mountain." Lin Xiaotian nodded, and without saying much, he directly prescribed a prescription and handed it to Widow Chen.
"Thank you, Xiaotian." Widow Chen said gratefully after taking the prescription.
"Sister Chen, can you tell me about your affairs with Brother Wen Qiang? Of course, I am just curious. If it is inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask." Lin Xiaotian said curiously.
Widow Chen hesitated for a moment about Lin Xiaotian's request, then sighed, "It was indeed because Wen Qiang saved my life in the city, so I married Wen Qiang. Although it was an impulse at that time, Wen Qiang has always been very nice to me, so I don't regret it at all. Although Wen Qiang has been away for several years, Wen Qiang's parents are in poor health, so I have to take care of them. This is my responsibility and a test of love between me and Wen Qiang, so no matter what, I will never get married again."
Widow Chen said this very resolutely, and I don’t know if it was to dispel Lin Xiaotian’s thoughts or to express it.
After returning from Widow Chen’s house, Lin Xiaotian didn’t think much about it, so he washed up and went to the yard to start practicing the magical doctor’s skills.
After Lin Xiaotian entered the first level of the miracle doctor's martial arts last time, after just a few days of practice, Lin Xiaotian gradually felt that he had experience in his previous life and could break through the second level in a short time, so Lin Xiaotian has also worked particularly hard these two days.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiaotian woke up and had a simple breakfast. After thinking about it, he went to the back mountain to help Widow Chen pick some medicinal materials. Widow Chen was not feeling well these days, and it would be a bit difficult if he went to the back mountain to collect herbs alone, so Lin Xiaotianquan regarded it as a good thing this time.
When Lin Xiaotian carried the medicinal herbs and walked towards Widow Chen's house, all the villagers were talking. When they saw Lin Xiaotian, they stopped directly. Some of the men in the village even gave envious and jealous eyes to Lin Xiaotian.
"Are I handsome again today?" Lin Xiaotian was slightly stunned and murmured in a low voice.
Lin Xiaotian came to the door of Widow Chen's house and saw a group of villagers gathering in Widow Chen's yard from afar.
"I beat you shameless woman to death. After you entered our Zhang family, what's wrong with us Zhang family? You actually stole a man! Are you worthy of the dead Wenqiang?" In the yard, a 70-year-old man, leaning on a crutch, fell heavily on Widow Chen's face and cursed loudly.
"Although Widow Chen has always adhered to her duties over the years, she still couldn't help it. But it was, Xiaotian was handsome and rich. If there was a girl in my family, she could also say it to Xiaotianla."
"Hmph, how about being rich? It's so unscrupulous to steal someone else's wife behind your back!" A familiar voice came into Lin Xiaotian's ears.
Looking in the voice, Lin Xiaotian's second aunt said with anger: "If I hadn't seen Lin Xiaotian walk into Widow Chen's house last night, I'm afraid the old Zhang family would have been kept in the dark."
After being told by the second aunt Lin Xiaotian, Old Man Zhang was so angry that he trembled all over. He grabbed the crutch and then smashed the pale Widow Chen on the forehead.
ps: I will add one chapter today, and there will be another chapter tonight. It’s not that I won’t update. First of all, I didn’t recommend it this week, so I kept the manuscript and recommended it to the new book list next week. However, everyone voted more monthly votes, and Chi Yan would update it no matter when.
Chapter completed!
