The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 687 An Xue’s Home

Ling Feng quickly prepared the medicine and, due to the urgency, didn’t have time to make medicinal pills, so he produced a pile of powder instead. He handed it to Zhou Yi, "Take this to her, have her take some tonight and some more tomorrow morning, and everything should be alright."

"Okay."

Zhou Yi received it and then asked, "What about you?"

"I’m going back to sleep, what else?"

Ling Feng retorted irritably.

"Alright, alright, go back to sleep then, get some rest early!" Zhou Yi laughed.

Knowing he was behaving like a petulant child, everyone didn’t mind and urged him to leave, so he wouldn’t continue to grumble and be annoying.

Helpless, Ling Feng could only teleport himself home, thinking to himself, whatever, we’ll talk about it tomorrow!

So he went straight to bed as soon as he got home, completely forgetting about the terracotta jar he had found in the mountains.

The next morning, while Ling Feng was still deep in sleep, he felt a tickle on his nose.

Even before opening his eyes, he knew who was causing trouble.

Aside from Li Fei’er, no one else would do something so childish.

So, chuckling to himself, he didn’t bother to open his eyes and just reached out to embrace the person, pulling her into his arms!

Li Fei’er let out a surprised yelp and immediately started to struggle.

But Ling Feng refused to let go, holding her tightly and pulling her petite body onto his, then laughed, "That’s for being naughty!"

"Uncle, let me go, there are other people here!"

Li Fei’er’s voice was filled with embarrassment as she struggled and spoke.

Ling Feng was startled and finally opened his eyes, only to see An Xue standing at the door, her face flushed red, not knowing whether to stay or leave, looking extremely embarrassed.

So he quickly let go of Li Fei’er and said with an awkward smile, "Ah, An Xue is here too."

Struggling to get out of bed, Li Fei’er’s face was also somewhat flushed as she gave him a glare and said, "Bad uncle, so annoying!"

Ling Feng chuckled and didn’t say much, instead he asked with a smile, "What brings you two here?"

"An Xue sister wants to go home for a visit, so I came to find you with her!" said Li Fei’er.

"Oh, that makes sense, you’ve been here for two days, it is time to go back and check on things!"

Ling Feng nodded and got out of bed.

"I want to go back and check on things at home, I don’t know how everything is doing," An Xue said, fidgeting with her fingers.

"No worries, I’ve hired you, I haven’t bought your freedom, you can go back home whenever you want!"

Ling Feng smiled, "Wait for me, we’ll leave after I freshen up!"

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ling." An Xue sighed in relief.

"We’re all family here, from now on don’t call me Mr. Ling. Just like Wan’er and the others, call me Big Brother Ling!"

Ling Feng turned back and said with a smile.

By the time he was done washing up and went outside, An Xue and Li Fei’er were already waiting in the car.

Noticing this, Ling Feng asked in confusion, "Fei’er, you’re going too?"

"Yeah, this is a task given to me by the sisters, I must accompany Sister Xue back home and visit her family on the way," Li Fei’er explained.

"Oh, that’s good then!"

Ling Feng was keenly aware that this was everyone’s heartfelt effort, aimed at helping him keep An Xue by his side, so naturally, he had to treat her and her family a little better.

Thus, he smiled as he got into the car, bringing the two of them away from Shiliu Village.

When they neared the county town, under An Xue’s guidance, the robust vehicle ventured into a village at the urban-rural fringe.

This place was all bungalows, packed closely together, with narrow roads in between. Some areas could only accommodate one car at a time, making it quite inconvenient.

After several twists and turns, the vehicle stopped outside a small courtyard. Ling Feng got out and said to An Xue, "This place is too inconvenient. I think it would be better to find an opportunity to move to somewhere with easier transportation!"

"That, I haven’t considered yet, we’ll talk about it later!"

An Xue smiled, pushed open the courtyard gate, and then called out, "Mom, I’m back!"

"My girl, you’re back!"

A voice called from inside the house, followed by a middle-aged woman running out.

The woman’s face was weathered, her features deeply lined as if she were over fifty years old.

Yet Ling Feng knew that An Xue was only twenty, and her mother was just over forty. The premature aging must have been caused by the struggles of making a living.

An Xue’s mother, named Wang Lan, hurriedly came out smiling upon seeing her daughter bring two people over, "And we have guests!"

"This is Ling Feng, and this is Li Fei’er," An Xue introduced.

Li Fei’er was very polite, stepping forward and sweetly greeting, "Hello, Auntie," which completely melted Wang Lan’s heart, so she immediately took her hand, "What a good girl, come inside the house."

When Ling Feng entered the house, he saw that although it was clean and tidy, both the decor and the household appliances were very outdated. The TV was even the oldest type of bulky model, a style that had been phased out over a decade ago!

If An Xue’s father had a proper job, with the income of father and daughter combined, the family wouldn’t have had to live like this. Thinking of this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

He wondered if An Jiaming had been released yet, and seized the thought that he needed to deal with him properly when the opportunity arose!

After sitting down and noticing Wang Lan busily serving tea and water, Ling Feng smiled, "Auntie, please don’t trouble yourself, we’re not thirsty!"

"How could that be, we don’t have much to offer, but a cup of water is still a must!" Wang Lan laughed.

After saying that, she looked toward her daughter with eyes full of inquiry.

"I’m no longer working at the swimming pool. Mr. Ling has employed me, and I’ll be working for him from now on!" An Xue explained.

"You’re not working there anymore?"

Wang Lan was startled upon hearing this, it was news to her. She became flustered, "My girl, how could you not discuss something like this with me? Without the monthly salary of seven or eight thousand, how are we going to manage?"

She didn’t wait for her daughter to respond and turned to Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, don’t take this the wrong way, but our family’s circumstances are special, and Xiao Xue can’t be without a job. We rely on her salary to get by!"

Ling Feng was speechless, smiling bitterly as he responded, "Why would she be without a job? Didn’t I say that I’ve already employed her?"

"But, but can you offer such a high salary?"

Wang Lan was still full of concern. The wage level in the county town wasn’t high; a typical woman working in a factory would earn only three or four thousand, and even less for clerical work or sales, merely over two thousand.

Even if Ling Feng were a big boss, she couldn’t believe he would pay her daughter a salary higher than what the swimming pool had offered!

"Auntie, don’t worry. Uncle won’t treat Sister Xue unfairly. Didn’t Sister Xue do a big favor for us yesterday, so we decided to give her a reward of one million!" Li Fei’er said with a smile.

"What?"

Wang Lan, still worried a moment ago, was now completely stunned, her face a picture of disbelief.

"Mom, you heard right. Mr. Ling really did give me one million, and he’s going to transfer it soon!" An Xue said.

Hearing her daughter’s words, Wang Lan realized she wasn’t dreaming. She looked at Ling Feng, and her knees suddenly went weak!
