"Isn't that right? Not only is the wife beautiful, but she also drives a BMW!
If my son found a wife like that outside, even if the son wasn't his biological child, I'd raise him like my own grandson!"
"Get lost! If he wasn't your biological grandson, you'd probably die of anger!" one person teased with a laugh!
The voices of the few people speaking were neither too loud nor too soft, but they were heard by Su Wanru and Liu Yifeng.
Su Wanru's face instantly turned red. Holding Tongtong's hand, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
After all, being misunderstood like this, and she was still an unmarried young woman!
Up until now, she hadn't even held a man's hand.
Liu Yifeng didn't fear being misunderstood himself, but he couldn't implicate President Su and have people gossip.
After all, she had kindly brought him here to get his wound bandaged.
But just as he was about to go over and explain, Su Wanru stopped him.
"Forget it. Some things get messier the more you explain.
They don't know me, so it won't affect me!"
"But if you don't explain, it will only solidify the relationship between us," Liu Yifeng still wanted to clarify.
Su Wanru said indifferently, "As long as our relationship is pure, why should we fear them gossiping.
If you go over specifically to explain, they'll become even more excited.
Besides, I don't live here, so they'll probably forget about me in a while."
Liu Yifeng heard this and felt it made some sense, so he didn't go over to explain.
Instead, he turned and went into the clinic. There weren't many people in the clinic at noon.
The old man on duty was dozing at his desk. Liu Yifeng woke him up, "Physician Chen, wake up. Please bandage my wound."
Physician Chen wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and then looked at Liu Yifeng's small arm.
"How did you get this hand?" Physician Chen put on his reading glasses.
Liu Yifeng sat opposite him, placed his hand on the table, and then said, "I fell on the mountain and accidentally scraped it on some small stones."
"This looks quite serious. I'm afraid it will need stitches, otherwise, it won't heal quickly," Physician Chen said, picking up medical cotton with tweezers and disinfecting Liu Yifeng's wound with iodophor.
Although it was a bit painful, Liu Yifeng could still endure it.
However, Su Wanru and An An, who were watching, frowned as if the disinfection was being done to them.
"Daddy, does it hurt?" Tongtong asked with concern.
Liu Yifeng shook his head, "It doesn't hurt."
Soon, Physician Chen finished disinfecting the wound. "So, stitches or just a bandage?"
"Since Physician Chen thinks stitches will heal faster, then let's have stitches!" Liu Yifeng was not someone who feared pain.
Right now, he just wanted to get better quickly.
After all, there were so many things waiting for him every day. If the wound really got infected, it would cause too much delay.
"Alright, I'll stitch it up for you now, but it will be a little painful, so bear with it!" Physician Chen said.
Liu Yifeng nodded, "It's okay, let's do it!"
His wound was quite long, about seven to eight centimeters, requiring more than ten stitches in total.
Although Liu Yifeng didn't groan throughout the entire process, the sweat on his forehead betrayed him.
Su Wanru watched the sweat dripping from Liu Yifeng's forehead and instinctively wiped it for him, her actions somewhat intimate.
Liu Yifeng's body suddenly stiffened, and he even forgot the pain from the wound.
"Don't misunderstand. I just saw you sweating a lot and was afraid you weren't comfortable, so I wiped it for you!" Su Wanru quickly explained, fearing Liu Yifeng might overthink it.
Liu Yifeng nodded, "Thank you!"
About twenty minutes later, Liu Yifeng's wound was finally stitched up, looking like a centipede with dense stitches.
Finally, Physician Chen bandaged his wound, gave Liu Yifeng some anti-inflammatory medicine, and told him some precautions.
"Thank you, Physician Chen. How much is it?" Liu Yifeng took the medicine.
"Sixty yuan in total!"
It wasn't expensive. If he went to the hospital, it would cost at least several hundred, and there would be registration fees and other hassles.
Liu Yifeng took out sixty yuan in cash and gave it to Physician Chen, then left.
"Right, remember to come back for a dressing change in a couple of days!" Physician Chen reminded him loudly.
"Okay, I know!"
When they came out, they couldn't help but be pointed at and whispered about again.
However, Liu Yifeng and Su Wanru got into the car as if nothing had happened.
When they returned to the village, the farm-to-table restaurant's meals weren't ready yet, so Liu Yifeng asked Su Wanru to drive to his house.
"My house is a bit old and dilapidated. I hope President Su doesn't mind!" Liu Yifeng said.
"It's fine. Who hasn't lived through hard times?" Su Wanru looked at Liu Yifeng's home, a red brick house with a tiled roof, without any sign of disdain.
This remark caught Liu Yifeng's attention. "Oh, judging by President Su's words, you've also experienced hardship before?"
Su Wanru nodded. "When I was little, my family was the poorest in the village. We didn't even live in a red brick house, but in a tiled house made of mud blocks. On rainy days, when it rained heavily outside, it would drizzle in my house.
And there were quite a few children in my family. My parents couldn't afford to raise all of us, so they gave away my two younger sisters, leaving only me and my brother."
Although Su Wanru's tone was calm, Liu Yifeng could still hear her longing for her two sisters.
To be honest, if she hadn't said it, he wouldn't have guessed that she had such a difficult childhood.
Because of Su Wanru's refined demeanor, she seemed naturally elegant.
It was rare for girls born and raised in the countryside to have such an aura.
"Are your two sisters still in contact with your family?" Liu Yifeng asked.
Su Wanru shook her head. "They were taken away by couples from other places. My parents don't know where they live now, and they've never returned.
Perhaps we'll never see each other again in this lifetime."
Speaking of this, it reminded Liu Yifeng of his own sister.
Back then, because their family was poor, his mother took his three-year-old sister and left.
He was only five years old then, and he watched his mother lead his sister by the hand and leave without looking back.
He cried and begged to follow, but his father held him back tightly.
From then on, he never saw his mother and sister again.
His mother never came back to see him, and gradually, he didn't think about them as much anymore.
Now, he had gotten used to this life.
Even if they appeared before him one day, he might not recognize them.
Because so much time had passed, he couldn't remember what they looked like anymore.
"What are you thinking about?" Su Wanru asked, looking at him as he drifted into thought.
Liu Yifeng snapped back to attention. "No... nothing! It's hot outside, let's go sit in the living room!"
"Daddy, I'll go play with Da Bai for a while!"
As soon as they arrived home, Tongtong impatiently hugged Da Bai and went to his personal study.
"Okay, you play with Da Bai. Daddy will call you when it's time to eat!" As soon as Liu Yifeng finished speaking, Tongtong entered the study and disappeared from view.
Su Wanru smiled at this scene and said, "It seems your son really likes puppies. Last time I bought watermelons from you, he was holding one!"
"It's mainly because this child is too lonely at home and has no one to play with!"
Su Wanru nodded in understanding and then turned her attention to the Transformers.
"Did you buy this toy for Tongtong?"
"Yes, I bought it for him because he liked it."
At this moment, Su Wanru received a call from an employee saying that all the watermelons had been loaded onto the truck.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanru looked at Liu Yifeng. "Where is the farm-to-table restaurant you mentioned? I'll have my people go directly there. Otherwise, with this hot weather, waiting outside can easily lead to heatstroke!"
Liu Yifeng remembered that the wild mushrooms he picked and the herbs Tongtong was using to develop the ovulation medicine for crayfish were still in the van. He immediately said, "I'll head over now and take them to the farm-to-table restaurant.
But my son is home alone, so I'd trouble you to look after him. I'll bring them there and come back!"
"I'll take care of Tongtong," Su Wanru agreed.
Liu Yifeng went back to his room to change into a short-sleeved shirt and then went out. The village wasn't very big, and it only took about five or six minutes to walk to where he had parked.
Su Wanru's employees were waiting in the shade by the large truck.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and enthusiastically offered one to each of them. "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Have a cigarette, and later I'll let you eat crayfish to your heart's content!"
Most men smoked, and everyone accepted a cigarette and started smoking!
Then, Liu Yifeng led them to the farm-to-table restaurant. His father was talking to Liu Xiaohai about something.
"Chunsheng, I'm not asking for the moon. Last time your son sold crayfish to others, I processed them for five yuan a jin. You have to let me make some profit, right?"
