This Doctor Is Too Wealthy

The Old Lady kept praising Wang Shuqiu’s father for being blessed with a grandson. At the same time, she sighed incessantly about Wang Shuqiu’s Mother’s misfortune, lamenting her inability to enjoy the happiness of family life.

”If your daughter hadn’t left, that young man would be your son-in-law now. If they had a Child together, ah... Why on earth did your Wife not think things through?”

Wang Shuqiu’s father’s face turned green with anger. His patience with the Old Lady had reached its limit.

Just as he furrowed his brow, about to drive her away, he heard the sound of brakes outside. Then, he saw Du Heng come in carrying three bags of well-wrapped medicine.

”Ah, youngster, you didn’t leave! That’s good. Stay and keep Old Three and his family company.” The Old Lady saw Du Heng come in and seemed to have found an interesting topic, a new direction to express her ”kindness.”

”Since Xiao Fang died last Year and Xiao Qiu left without a word, there hasn’t been this much liveliness in Old Three’s home. His Wife is now quite dazed, and Old Three is too lonely by himself. You’re a good Child; keep him company.”

The Old Lady sighed again. ”It’s just that Child, Xiao Qiu, is too inconsiderate. She has wronged you terribly.”

Du Heng’s dislike for the Old Lady had reached its peak. At this moment, he cast aside his upbringing and politeness.

If circumstances allowed, I’d send her flying with one hard slap.

He brushed past the Old Lady with the medicine bags and walked over to Wang Shuqiu’s father. ”Uncle, what is she doing here? Is she a relative?” he asked.

”Just the neighbor from next door. I don’t know what she’s here for either.”

”If she’s not related, let’s ask her to leave. She’s an eyesore,” Du Heng said, then carried the medicine toward the kitchen. ”I still have to give Auntie her medication later, and all this jabbering is too noisy. It might affect her recovery.” He added, ”I got out of the Car too quickly and forgot. Uncle, I bought some food for Everyone; it’s on the car seat. Could you help bring it in? Also, I bought some meat and noodles; they’re in the trunk. Can you bring those in too?”

Wang Shuqiu’s father’s furrowed brows relaxed. ”Ma’am,” he said to the Old Lady, ”since this kid is here to treat my wife, please go back first. You came so early; have you even fed your pigs yet? Go back and feed them. Listen to how loudly they’re squealing; they must be starving.”

The Old Lady rolled her eyes. She didn’t want to leave, as she hadn’t yet eaten the 300 yuan worth of fruit.

But Liao Yuzhu, who had gone to wash the fruit, seemed to have taken it all the way to the county town to wash, as she hadn’t come back after such a long time.

”Ma’am, please go back. If your pigs starve and get skinny, I’m afraid your daughter-in-law might not even give you these overripe bananas. Hurry back now.”

Wang Shuqiu’s father urged her to leave again. His mood was better than ever before.

He didn’t know why, but having Du Heng, Xiao Sun, and Liao Yuzhu around made his heart qi feel much stronger.

After saying that, he didn’t care if the Old Lady was leaving or not and walked outside himself.

The Old Lady wasn’t shameless enough to ignore everything. Seeing that there was no one left in the room, she had no choice but to walk out sulkily.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Liao Yuzhu sitting on the steps, slowly savoring some blueberries.

Liao Yuzhu glanced back at the two people emerging, then stood up with the washed blueberries in her hand. ”Uncle, try these,” she said. ”These blueberries are so sweet, not sour at all!”

With that, she proactively picked one and offered it to Wang Shuqiu’s father’s lips.

Liao Yuzhu didn’t care much for excessive formalities, but in the village, a daughter-in-law feeding her father-in-law was practically taboo.

Instantly, Wang Shuqiu’s father’s face turned red.

”Uncle, try one. It’s really sweet.”

Looking at the blueberry near his lips and Liao Yuzhu’s smiling face, Wang Shuqiu’s father couldn’t bring himself to open his mouth directly. Instead, blushing, he took the blueberry with his hand and popped it into his mouth.

It was so sweet, so sweet that tears welled up in his eyes.

”Child, eat them yourself,” Wang Shuqiu’s father said. He didn’t chew the blueberry but held it in his mouth, savoring it like a piece of candy.

Liao Yuzhu was also very happy. Holding the box of blueberries, she started walking towards the Old Lady.

Instantly, a smile spread across the Old Lady’s face, and she eagerly, almost imperceptibly, raised her hand.

”Uncle, wait for me! Heng said he bought some things. I’ll put these inside the house, then help you carry the rest in.” Liao Yuzhu didn’t stop, walking straight past the Old Lady.

The Old Lady’s slightly raised hand hung awkwardly in the air, her face flushing red with a mixture of anger and humiliation.

But there was no one in the yard to see her!

Ignored, the Old Lady started to leave with a grim expression, but when she reached the gate, she found she couldn’t bear to depart just like that.

Just as she was hesitating, Liao Yuzhu and Wang Shuqiu’s father walked out together.

Liao Yuzhu went first, opened the front passenger door of the Car, and took out two large bags of food. ”Uncle, we can get the rest later. Let’s go have breakfast first; Heng bought a lot of food.”

Wang Shuqiu’s father smiled. ”Open the trunk first, and I’ll grab what’s in there too.”

Liao Yuzhu readily agreed and helped open the trunk.

The Old Lady didn’t want to go over, but her Heart felt as if a cat were scratching it, the curiosity giving her slight palpitations.

The Old Lady couldn’t resist any longer. Feigning reluctance, she walked around the back of the Car. ”Old Three,” she called out, ”what did your prospective son-in-law buy for you? It’s not that much stuff; couldn’t he carry it in himself instead of making an elder like you do it?”

When she saw what was inside the car, her feigned reluctance vanished.

”So much? Can you all finish it?”
