As soon as the words fell, several village women immediately rushed over. They were about to mock when they saw the four large fish in Li Mei's and Er Zhu's hands.
Holy crap, they actually caught some!
What normal people couldn't do, this fool actually managed!
They, the normal ones, were actually not as good as a fool!
The few of them swallowed in shock, the words that had been on the tip of their tongues had to be swallowed back.
They had come to regain face, but unexpectedly, they were slapped in the face again!
All day, they hadn't done anything but get slapped!
"Second Aunt, this fish weighs two pounds!"
Seeing the expressions of the village women change again and again, he naturally knew their intentions. He held up the heaviest fish in his hand and grinned foolishly.
"Heh heh, Li Mei, we're going home to cook."
The few of them chuckled sheepishly, glanced at the fish in Er Zhu's hand, and after a perfunctory remark, they scattered and fled.
Seeing their embarrassed state, Li Mei guessed their thoughts. She glared at them impatiently and then pulled Er Zhu towards home.
She had thought that after today's events, they would stop causing trouble, but it turned out to be the same!
They were truly incorrigible, like eating a hundred beans without finding them fishy!
For dinner, Er Zhu and Li Mei enjoyed a hearty meal, but the other villagers had very plain meals.
There was no other way; they had spent ten thousand yuan in one day!
If they had known this, they wouldn't have dared to confront Er Zhu even if they were threatened with knives!
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. During these three days, Er Zhu did nothing but lie around at home.
It wasn't that he didn't want to do anything, but it was impossible; it rained for three consecutive days. He even suspected that the sky had sprung a leak.
After lunch, seeing the heavy rain outside, Er Zhu pondered.
He wondered how the medicinal herbs in the field were doing. The herbal fertilizer could ensure a normal harvest under normal circumstances, but this heavy rain was a natural disaster.
Although he had the Heluo Divine Art protecting him, he hadn't cultivated it to the point where he could defy heaven.
Thinking of this, Er Zhu put on his raincoat and decided to go to the field to check.
Looking at Er Zhu's retreating back, Li Mei naturally knew what he was thinking, and her brow furrowed.
With such heavy rain, if all the medicinal herbs died, Er Zhu would be in real trouble!
Even though it was a natural disaster, some villagers would surely come to cause trouble again.
The more Li Mei thought about it, the more worried she became, and her brows furrowed deeper.
Arriving at the edge of the field, he looked at the thriving ginseng seedlings and nodded gently.
Fortunately, the terrain here was high, and he had modified the irrigation ditches two days ago. The medicinal herbs in the field were not affected at all!
After seeing that the ginseng seedlings were fine, Er Zhu turned to head back. But halfway, he heard a faint voice:
"Big brother, save me!"
Er Zhu narrowed his eyes, vaguely seeing a car parked not far away, and a person sitting on the ground!
Er Zhu hurried over and found a woman leaning against the car door, looking at him pitifully. The woman was already drenched by the rain, her body covered in mud. Blood mixed with mud coated her entire ankle!
Seeing this, Er Zhu quickly picked up the woman on his back and ran home.
Upon reaching home, Er Zhu quickly cleaned the woman's wounds. Watching Er Zhu busy himself, Li Mei's heart felt a pang of sadness.
Er Zhu's luck with women was so good; Wang Xiaomei before, and now this woman!
Li Mei darkened her eyes and carefully looked at the woman on the kang. The more she looked, the more sour her heart felt, and the colder it became!
The woman's features were as delicate as a doll's, and her skin was as smooth as if it would break with a touch. Her figure was also far better than hers!
Er Zhu truly had good fortune with women.
Li Mei smiled faintly, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes.
But in an instant, she let go. Er Zhu was merely treating her injuries; he hadn't done anything else.
She couldn't possibly ask Er Zhu to only treat male patients; that condition was unreasonable, and besides, she didn't have the right.
In the blink of an eye, the sky slowly darkened. Li Mei was tending the fire in the kitchen, while Er Zhu was taking care of the woman.
It was at this moment that the woman slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
"What exactly happened to you?"
Before the woman could finish looking, she suddenly heard a voice beside her. She turned her head and saw Er Zhu's handsome face.
The woman recognized Er Zhu at a glance. She choked back a sob and weakly recounted what had happened.
It turned out that the woman's name was Liu Yan. Her car broke down in Shilith Village while she was on a business trip. She wanted to get out and check, but she twisted her ankle. When Er Zhu found her, she had been soaking in the rain all day.
"Benefactor, can you tell me your name? I will repay you handsomely!"
After explaining everything, Liu Yan looked at Er Zhu gratefully and clasped his hand.
It was at this moment that Liu Yan noticed her clothes had been changed. She looked at Er Zhu, then at her clothes, and her face instantly turned red.
This was the first time in her life that a man had changed her clothes, how embarrassing!
And not only had her clothes been changed, but her… pants too!
Seeing the unfamiliar pants on her body, Liu Yan's face turned red to the roots of her ears!
Liu Yan was both ashamed and embarrassed. If this were any other time, she would have slapped him long ago, but thinking of the heavy rain outside, she could only endure it.
"No, your clothes weren't changed by me. It was Sister Mei who changed them."
Seeing Liu Yan's shy demeanor, Er Zhu immediately guessed what was happening and quickly said.
"Mm, thank you, brother and sister-in-law."
Upon hearing the woman's name, Liu Yan's blush faded by half, and the shyness in her heart instantly receded.
She thought this older brother was single, but she didn't expect him to be married!
Liu Yan glanced at Er Zhu with a hint of disappointment and slowly closed her eyes.
She had thought it was a budding romance, but it turned out to be like this…
Seeing Liu Yan's somber expression, Er Zhu shrugged helplessly. He knew Liu Yan had misunderstood, but he didn't want to explain.
Let her misunderstand; it was actually quite good to be misunderstood like this.
In a short while, Li Mei finished cooking. During dinner, Liu Yan learned that Er Zhu and Li Mei were not married, and her extinguished hope reignited!
Li Mei didn't pay much attention to these things. She was very sympathetic to Liu Yan after hearing about her plight and took extra care of her.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Liu Yan sat on the kang, looking at the clear sky outside.
The sky had finally cleared up, and she could finally go home!
Thinking of going home, a smile appeared on Liu Yan's lips, but along with the smile, a sense of loneliness arose in her heart.
If she went home, would she be able to see Er Zhu again?
Was the fate between her and Er Zhu really this short?
"Miss Liu, your injury is quite serious!"
Just as Liu Yan was worrying about her and Er Zhu's future, a voice like a bolt from the blue startled her awake.
