The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 434: Want a Girlfriend?

Ling Feng was a bit bewildered by the questioning!

Zhang Jinhua sat next to him, her face brimming with enthusiasm, bombarding him with questions without a clear purpose in mind.

Perhaps sensing his discomfort, Zhang Jinhua chuckled, "Don’t be nervous. These past few days, I’ve asked around about you. To think that you’re doing so well now. If you don’t have a partner..."

Ling Feng’s heart hung in his chest as he hurriedly waved his hands, "No, I have a girlfriend already!"

Hearing this, a tinge of disappointment flashed across Zhang Jinhua’s face as she uttered an "Oh."

However, in the blink of an eye, her interest was piqued again, "A girlfriend, but not yet married, right? There’s still a chance!"

Ling Feng almost spit out his drink!

What kind of logic was this?

Looking at Zhang Jinhua’s face full of wrinkles and sensing she was at least in her forties, he thought, ’Does she not see herself? Do I, Ling Feng, look like the kind of man who would just go for anyone?’

But he had misunderstood—Zhang Jinhua wasn’t talking about herself, but her daughter!

She beamed as she took out her cellphone, opened the photo gallery, and pointed to a girl, saying, "Take a look, this is my daughter. She’s quite pretty, don’t you think?"

Sweat formed on Ling Feng’s brow as he glanced at the photo subconsciously, thinking the girl was not bad-looking, except she must weigh at least 180 pounds!

"Uh... Sister Zhang, I truly appreciate the thought, but let’s forget it. My girlfriend is the police officer from last time. If she finds out, she’ll straighten me out!"

Ling Feng had no choice but to use Lin Xue as his lifesaver.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Zhang Jinhua’s face immediately stiffened.

Lin Xue had made quite an impression on her; the girl was as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, slender, and had an exceptionally fine bearing. Her daughter simply couldn’t compare!

Zhang Jinhua sighed reluctantly, "Alright then, if you’re unwilling, let’s drop it."

But no sooner had she finished speaking, she couldn’t help but ask, "How about you let my girl call you her big brother then?"

Ling Feng: "..."

He truly regretted it. If he had known it would be like this, he would never have followed her home. What was all this mess?

After a wry smile, Ling Feng stood up, "You’re too kind, and I appreciate the sentiment, but it really won’t work. I’m going to check on the neighbors now!"

"Don’t go, you can have a meal before you leave!" Zhang Jinhua reached out to grab his arm.

Luckily, Ling Feng was quick-witted and swiftly dodged her hand.

If she had grabbed him, he feared he wouldn’t be able to leave at all!

Hurriedly leaving the Zhang household, Ling Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Upon hearing Zhang Jinhua following him out, he quickly ducked into the neighboring courtyard!

It was funny, really; out of all the things to make Ling Feng sweat, this woman was the first!

Once he arrived at the next house, the people inside hurried to greet him. Ling Feng found the woman familiar; she was the one who had sat in the passenger seat last time!

"Ling Feng, you’re here, come in and sit!"

Ling Feng offered an awkward smile, "You’re the second sister-in-law, right? I won’t sit down, just came to check on the house. I have to head back soon!"

"What’s the rush, you can have a meal before you go!" Gu, the second sister-in-law, said with a laugh.

As someone from the countryside, Ling Feng knew this was the village custom: having guests over and feeding them a meal was the highest form of hospitality, so he was used to it.

He smiled and then spoke, "Thanks, but I won’t stay for a meal. There’s plenty of opportunities in the coming days. Where’s the room you’re renting out?"

"These two side rooms, you can take a look. I’ve already cleaned them out!" Gu, the second sister-in-law, said as she opened the door to the rooms.

Ling Feng stepped inside and saw that they were indeed very clean.

Rural outbuildings are generally used as storage rooms to keep grains and the like, but her family’s was clearly meant for living, with a heated brick bed and walls that had been painted. The place felt quite decent.

Therefore, Ling Feng nodded and turned to Auntie Gu and said, "Then let’s settle on this place. I’ll move in tomorrow. If that old man surnamed Chu comes around, you tell him I’ve already claimed this spot and he’ll have to figure out something for himself!"

"Relax, do you think I can’t handle that? You can rest easy staying at our place, it’s certainly better than the neighbors!" Auntie Gu was very pleased.

Ling Feng didn’t know what to say and, with a slight smile, left her house.

He quickly returned to his own home and told everyone about it.

While the others were alright with the news, only Li Fei’er pouted and, looking pitiful, came over to pull on Ling Feng’s clothes: "Uncle, you’re going to be gone for several days, what am I going to do if I miss you?"

"It’s just a few days, what’s there to miss?"

Ling Feng was always helpless against her acting cute, this pitiable look just too much to bear.

"No way, I can handle a day or two, but four or five days is too much for me!"

Li Fei’er stomped her feet and twisted her waist, launching a full-blown tantrum.

Ling Feng was speechless, was there really a difference between one or two days and four or five? Why didn’t you make a fuss when I went to the Demon Capital?

Just when he was puzzled, Li Shiyun smiled and said, "Since Fei’er can’t be without you, why not take her with you?"

"Yes, yes!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fei’er immediately clapped her hands joyously as if Ling Feng had already agreed.

Looking at Li Shiyun with a speechless expression, Ling Feng couldn’t figure out why she would say that.

But Li Shiyun just gave him a look and said nothing.

Not deciphering the meaning behind that look, Ling Feng could only offer a wry smile and nod. "Fine, you can come with me, but we have to agree: no mischief. If I get busy, I might not have time to take care of you!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself!"

Li Fei’er hurriedly assured him.

And just like that, the matter was settled. By evening, Lin Xue drove over and Lin Hu got out of the car with her.

Seeing his Uncle Lin Hu, Ling Feng was somewhat surprised and asked with a smile, "What brings you over?"

"Xiao Xue insisted on finding you, and I was worried about her safety, so I had to bring her over!" Lin Hu replied.

"I see, so are you planning to stay here tonight?" Ling Feng asked.

"Forget it, I’m not staying at your place. I’m heading back now and will come to pick her up tomorrow morning!"

Lin Hu glared at Ling Feng and turned to get back in the car.

Ling Feng chuckled, "No need, I’m actually going out tomorrow anyway. I’ll just drop Xiao Xue off while I’m at it!"

"That works, really, I don’t see what’s so good about this place of yours!"

Lin Hu muttered before driving away.

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and couldn’t help but feel annoyed. "Yesterday, you were gnawing on that big bone at my place, more than anyone else, aren’t you going to mention that?"

Too bad the man was already gone, grumbling went unheard, and Lin Xue, smiling, linked her arm with his: "Come on, you’ve known my brother’s temper since day one!"

"Alright then."

Ling Feng smiled and patted her head, "In the future, just let me know when you want to come over, and I’ll pick you up."

"All this picking up and dropping off is such a hassle, can’t you hurry up and work on that Teleportation Array?" Lin Xue looked up and asked.
