After buying the things, Su Li returned to Huiren Hall. Cheng Yu sent someone to send her back.
Su Li waved at Cheng Yu. “There’s no need to send me. You can go back!”
Cheng Yu looked at Su Li’s reluctant expression. “I’ll definitely be on time the day after tomorrow.”
It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear to let Su Li go, but he couldn’t bear to let go of her superb medical skills. Sometimes, he would wonder why he wasn’t the one who had those medical skills.
Su Li nodded and replied, “Okay!”
Cheng Yu instructed the driver, “He Sheng, you have to send Physician Su home safely. Those things are very heavy, so remember to help.”
The coachman, He Sheng, was a young and strong man. When he heard Cheng Yu’s words, he nodded his head. “Doctor Cheng, don’t worry. I will definitely send Physician Su home.”
It had to be said that He Sheng’s driving skills were not bad. The journey was not as bumpy as before, and it was so comfortable that Su Li dozed off.
Su Li’s eyelids became heavier and heavier. She leaned against the car and closed her eyes.
The carriage that was originally walking well stopped. Su Li, who was napping, opened her eyes. In an unfamiliar environment, she would not let herself fall into deep sleep.
“What happened?”
He Sheng said, “Physician Su, an ox cart in front seems to be broken!”
Because the ox cart was blocking their way, they had no way to bypass it, so they could only stop.
Su Li lifted the curtain and saw an ox cart parked in the middle of the road. Beside the ox cart was an anxious old man.
“Let’s go take a look.” Su Li jumped out of the carriage.
Old Zhao was trying to repair the ox cart. Today, his luck was too bad. Not only was his wallet stolen in town, but the axle also broke on his way back.
Originally, he had refunded the people in the car half of the fare and they walked back on their own!
“Sigh, what should I do!” Old Zhao sighed and leaned against the ox cart dispiritedly.
“Can I help you?” A pleasant voice reached his ears.
“Mother of Dahu, uh, no, Su Li, why is it you!” Old Zhao looked at Su Li in surprise.
Su Li looked at the ox cart and said, “What’s wrong with your car?”
Old Zhao sighed and said, “The axle is broken. I thought it would be fine after some repairs, but it hasn’t been fixed even after half a day.”
Su Li took a look and saw that the axle was indeed broken. She was really not good at this. If he fell into a mud pit, she could still help.
When He Sheng heard Su Li and Old Zhao’s conversation, he realized that Su Li knew Old Zhao. He volunteered, “Physician Su, I know how to fix this. I’ll help him fix it.
He drove carriages for people all year round. If the road was not good, there might be all kinds of problems with the carriage. He did not dare to come out unless he had some special skills.
Su Li said to He Sheng, “Thank you.”
If Old Zhao’s car couldn’t be repaired, she probably wouldn’t be able to go back today. She would help if she could!
He Sheng smiled foolishly and said, “It’s fine. Please wait for a while. This will take some time.”
Old Zhao looked at He Sheng’s dexterous movements. He looked extremely skilled!
“Does he really know how to do it?” Old Zhao asked Su Li.
Su Li said, “You’ll know in a while.”
After a while, He Sheng stood up and wiped the sweat off his forehead. “It’s done.”
Old Zhao ran over excitedly to take a look. He tried driving the ox cart, and it moved.
Old Zhao was so excited that tears streamed down his face. “It’s really fixed!” After repairing the ox cart, Su Li got into the carriage and set off again.
The speed of the ox cart was not as fast as the carriage. Old Zhao looked at the carriage that was leaving and sighed. “The world is really full of ups and downs!”
Su Li took the carriage back to the village again. This time, the commotion was no less than the last time. The people at the village entrance pointed at her. “Look at her coming back in the carriage. I wonder what she’s doing in town.” “What else can she do with that lump of flesh? Who would like her?”
“Then why does she always come back in a carriage after buying so many things!”
“How would I know? If you’re curious, you can ask her.”
“It’s boring. I’m not talking to you!”
He Sheng heard the discussion and secretly looked at Su Li. He saw that her expression was calm, as if the person those people were talking about was not her.
Su Li took down the things from the car. Why should she care about what others think?
Besides, if she asked them to shut up, would they?
She couldn’t use needles and thread to sew up those people’s mouths either!
She would just take it that these people were jealous of her talent and beauty.
Pushing open the courtyard door, the courtyard was in a mess. The wild vegetables she had dried in the courtyard were scattered all over the ground.
Su Li glanced at everything in the courtyard and frowned. Had this dilapidated house been robbed?
He Sheng was also stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. He did not expect Su Li to live in such a dilapidated place. From what he knew, the doctors were all doing well, at least not in such a small straw hut.
He Sheng composed himself and helped Su Li put everything in the house before bidding farewell.
“Physician Su, I’ll take my leave first.”
Su Li urged him to stay. “Come in and have a glass of water before leaving.”
He Sheng declined politely, “No, there are still many things to do in the clinic. There are fewer people today, so I have to rush back to help.”
“Alright then. Be careful on the way back.”
Su Li didn’t ask him to stay anymore. After all, there wasn’t even a place for him to sit at home. It wasn’t suitable for him to stay.
When He Qingmu heard Su Li’s voice, he opened the door and stuck his head out. After confirming that it was really Su Li, he shouted loudly.
“Brother, Mother is back!”
Su Li had just put her things away when two more pendants appeared on her lap.
“Did you behave at home today?”
The two little guys nodded vigorously. “We’re very obedient.’
Su Li held their hands and walked towards He Yufeng’s room.
When He Yufeng saw Su Li enter, he said, “You’re back!”
Su Li nodded. “Yes, what happened today? Did bandits enter the house? The courtyard is in a mess, and the kitchen stove has been smashed!”
He Qingyao looked like he knew what was going on and complained to Su Li, “Grandma came over. The wild vegetables you left in the courtyard were all knocked over.”
He Qingyao added, “Grandma smashed our stove. She said that we don’t deserve to eat. In the future, we won’t need to cook because we’ll be begging on the streets.”
He Qingmu continued, “When she heard that Father could no longer get up, she pointed at Father’s nose and scolded him fiercely. She said that he was a piece of trash…
After saying that, he felt that something was wrong. He raised his head and carefully looked at He Yufeng. Fortunately, He Yufeng’s expression was normal. He Qingmu heaved a sigh of relief.
Su Li snorted. “Looks like the lesson last time wasn’t enough. She came to cause trouble again.”
He Qingmu continued, “She also said that if we don’t give her the money, she won’t be so easy to talk to next time. She’ll burn our house down.”
“Grandma also said that you will never come back. From now on, we are wild children without a mother!”
After saying that, the brothers began to tear up..
