Chapter 77: Where Do I Stay?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Madam Luo returned from work in the fields and heard that Su Li had invited the doctor from Huiren Hall back to perform surgery on He Yufeng, she pursed her lips in disdain.
Was Su Li that capable? Was it that easy to hire a doctor?
She could even invite a doctor to her house?
In her opinion, Su Li must have found a charlatan to act in a show together. Even if He Yufeng was crippled in the future, she would still have a good reputation. That woman was really too scheming.
However, she knew better than anyone what kind of person that woman was. She would not be deceived by her hypocritical appearance.
At this moment, Chen Xiang walked out of the courtyard.
Madam Luo grabbed Chen Xiang and asked, “What’s going on inside? Did that woman really invite a doctor over?”
She wanted to enter the house to take a look at the “charlatan” that Su Li had invited, but her relationship with Su Li had never been good. If she went in at this time and was swept out by Su Li with a broom, how embarrassing would that be!
How could Chen Xiang not know what the Madam Luo was thinking? Although she knew that Madam Luo’s thoughts would not change so easily, so she still wanted to explain for Su Li. The current Su Li had really changed. She was completely different from what she used to be.
Chen Xiang said, “The doctor she invited is indeed a famous doctor from Huiren Hall. The surgery just ended and everything went smoothly. I heard from the doctor that he can stand up after recuperating.”
“Mother of Dahu is a good person. Don’t make things difficult for her in the future. We’re all neighbors. If anyone has something up, we can help each other. It won’t do anyone any good if things go sour.”
Madam Luo pursed her lips. What did she mean by a good person? Is she wagging her tail like a good dog of hers just because Su Li gave her food?
Madam Luo said sarcastically, “One may be bound to others because of the things they give you. I think this is a good way to describe you. She must have given you a lot of things these past few days. Otherwise, why would you come to her house every day like a maidservant?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? I just…” Chen Xiang stopped mid-sentence.
Why was she telling Madam Luo this? If Madam Luo knew that Su Li was giving her salary, who knew what she would do? Wouldn’t it be better for her to quietly earn her salary?
Madam Luo thought that she had poked Chen Xiang’s heart. “Why aren’t you saying anything? I was right, right?!”
“Whatever you say. I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Chen Xiang did not want to continue chatting with Madam Luo. She still had a lot of things waiting for her at home.
After finishing the work that Su Li had arranged every day, she would come back and do the work at home. Although Su Li said that her salary was 80 copper coins a day, she had yet to get the money. No one knew what would happen next, so she still had to continue doing the work at home.
Although she was a little tired, she felt very at ease.
Madam Luo looked at Chen Xiang’s back and spat. “What’s there to be smug about? Do you really think you can get rich just by licking that woman’s butt? Dream on!”
“A man is a cripple and a bootlicker himself. People like you deserve to never straighten your backs.”
Chen Xiang stopped in her tracks. She took a deep breath and left quickly.
He Dahai noticed that Chen Xiang’s eyes were a little red and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Did that woman bully you?”
He Dahai thought that Su Li had bullied Chen Xiang. Other than Su Li, he really couldn’t think of anyone else.
The innocent Su Li: “…” Me???
Chen Xiang shook her head. “No, I was blinded by the sandstorm just now.” “Really?” He Dashan didn’t believe it.
Chen Xiang smiled at him. “It’s true. She’s very good to me. Look, hasn’t she asked me to bring back some food recently?”
At this point, He Dahai did not say anything else. They had indeed benefited from Su Li these days.
Cheng Yu carried his bag and entered the courtyard. Soon, he realized a problem. He didn’t seem to have a place to stay!
Now, the only place to stay in this house was the central room and the kitchen.
Moreover, there was not even a bed. Was he going to sleep on the floor?

“Madam Su…”
Su Li tilted her head and looked at him, asking him what was the matter. Cheng Yu said embarrassedly, “Where do I sleep? I don’t think there’s a place for me to stay at home.”
Su Li patted her head. How could she have forgotten about this?
There was indeed no place for people to live at home, but Chen Xiang’s house next door seemed to have an empty room. It was usually used by Chen Xiang to store various things. It should still be livable after a little tidying up. “Sit in the house for a while. I’ll arrange it for you,” Su Li said.
Cheng Yu nodded and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Su Li went next door to look for Chen Xiang, but He Mingshan told her that Chen Xiang had gone out to work.
“Do you know where your mother is?” Su Li asked. He Mingshan nodded. “I know. I’ll bring you there.”
Su Li smiled. “Alright, you’re awesome.”
He Mingshan smiled sheepishly at the praise.
He Dahai came in from outside and happened to see Su Li talking to He Mingshan. He limped over and looked at Su Li with an unfriendly gaze.
“What do you want?”
“The doctor from Huiren Hall will be staying at my house for a few days. You know that our house can’t accommodate him, so I came to ask if I can let the doctor stay at your house for a few days?”
Su Li kept feeling that He Dahai was very hostile to her. It must be because of the Host. This matter had nothing to do with her!
A doctor from Huiren Hall?
She heard that the doctors of Huiren Hall were very skilled. If he could be on good terms with him, it would be much easier to for him to see the doctor in the future.
He Dahai thought for a moment and said, “Sure. I’ll tidy up the room later and let the doctor stay at our house.”
Su Li thanked He Dahai. “Thank you.”
He Dahai didn’t reply. Su Li didn’t want to embarrass herself here, so she went home after saying a few polite words.
After arranging Cheng Yu’s residence, Su Li started to busy herself with other things. Seeing that it was about time that He Yufeng woke up, she walked into the house to take a look.
He Qingyao and He Qingmu had been guarding He Yufeng’s bed. When they saw Su Li enter, they asked worriedly.
“Mother, why isn’t Father awake yet?”
“Yes, Father has been asleep for a long time!”
They were a little worried that He Yufeng would never wake up again. Su Li lifted He Yufeng’s eyelids to take a look. “Soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, He Yufeng’s eyes began to move.
“Three, two, one.” Su Li counted down in her heart.
He Yufeng opened his heavy eyes and saw Su Li’s fair face and the two children’s worried faces.
“Father!” He Qingyao and He Qingmu were pleasantly surprised to see him awake.
He Yufeng reached out and touched their faces. “Don’t be afraid. I’m very powerful and won’t die easily. I promised you that I would grow up with you. I won’t go back on my word..”
