The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 35: Ruining the Moment
Chen Yuhe declared confidently, "There’s something fishy when things are out of the ordinary, you must be the demon causing the trouble!"
Ling Feng nodded, "Fine since you’re calling me a monster, I’ll just sneak into your house tonight, then do ’that’ before the kill!"
"Sis, look at him, he’s starting his nonsensical talk again!" Chen Yuhe quickly complained, turning to Mo Jiaolan for help.
But Mo Jiaolan had become numb to it all, to the point where she didn’t want to intervene in their arguments, nor did she bother trying to mediate, so she just pretended not to hear anything.
Seeing this, Ling Feng chuckled slyly and provokingly jerked his chin up at Chen Yuhe!
"Hmph!" Chen Yuhe gave him a big eye roll in return.
As they were about to finish the meal, Ling Feng found an excuse to leave the private room, looking to settle the bill with the proprietress.
Although Mo Jiaolan had offered to treat them, as a man, how could he let a girl pay? So, he planned to pay the bill early on, leaving Mo Jiaolan with no chance to spend a dime!
However, the proprietress was not at the counter, so Ling Feng had to walk towards the back, thinking she was just there earlier and wondering why she hadn’t come back yet?
He reached the backyard and saw no one, then Ling Feng’s eyes flickered, and he tiptoed toward the window, trying to see if anyone was inside, perhaps hoping to witness something exciting!
When he got to the window, he hadn’t even peeked inside when he heard the voices of two people conversing within!
"Yang Guihua, you’ve been stalling and stalling, how many times has it been now? You either give in today, or I’ll stop bringing you mushrooms!" an old man’s voice said.
The voice of the proprietress came through, "It’s not about stalling, I genuinely can’t do it now!"
"Hmph, it’s ’can’t do it’ every time, it’s clearly an excuse. Are you different from other women, having your period twenty-five days a month?" the old man asked bitterly.
"Almost, you think I want this? I’ve seen countless doctors and still no one knows what’s wrong with me." the proprietress spoke in a tone of helplessness.
No sooner had she finished speaking when an exclamation from inside the room was heard, and the proprietress urgently said, "What are you doing, don’t touch me!"
Ling Feng looked up immediately, only to see that the two people inside had started scuffling, with a skinny old man pressing on top of the proprietress, while also saying viciously, "Period or not, I don’t care, I’ve waited for half a year, I must have my way with you today!"
Seeing this situation, Ling Feng quickly guessed what was going on, so he swiftly called out, "Proprietress, are you there?"
The two people inside jumped from the scare, with the old man shuddering all over, frightened limp by Ling Feng’s loud voice!
Struggling to get up from the bed, the proprietress fixed her hair and hurried out of the room to see Ling Feng, then asked, "What do you want?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Just settling the bill, what else?" Ling Feng said with a wicked smile.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Yang Guihua seemed to understand something and immediately frowned, "Did you see something just now?"
"Me? See what? Were you changing clothes inside just now?" Ling Feng feigned innocence, his eyes wide open.
Yang Guihua spit at him and said with a flush, "You little rascal, come with me to settle the bill!"
After she walked ahead to the front corridor. Ling Feng whispered, "So, the proprietress seems indulgent, but is actually quite conservative, huh!"
"You did see!" Yang Guihua turned her head back, staring at Ling Feng.
"So what if I saw, why the nervousness? Didn’t I help you?" Ling Feng smiled.
Though she said that, Yang Guihua still felt embarrassed by the incident, so she whispered, "You’d better not spread this around, or I won’t let it go!"
"Relax, I’m not a gossip!" Ling Feng nodded.
When they reached the counter, Yang Guihua began to calculate the bill, and he couldn’t help asking curiously, "Who’s that old man? Does he supply all the mushrooms for your place?"
"Yes!" Yang Guihua’s fingers rattled across the calculator, her head not even lifting.
Ling Feng chuckled, "Age doesn’t dull the spirit, eh? Where did this old geezer pick up those oyster mushrooms?"
"What do you want?" Yang Guihua stopped tallying and looked up suspiciously.
"Nothing much, just asking. If I could get hold of those mushrooms, he wouldn’t have any reason to threaten you anymore, would he?" Ling Feng inquired.
Yang Guihua glanced at him and scoffed, "You think no one else has thought of that? Unfortunately, only he can find fresh mushrooms, no one else can!"
"Is that so? Could this old man be some kind of mushroom sprite?" Ling Feng wondered aloud.
Amused by his guess, Yang Guihua gave him a sidelong look, "I have no idea about that, but if you can figure out a way to supply me consistently, I might really thank you!"
"Really? How would you thank me?" Ling Feng perked up immediately, asking excitedly.
"What do you think?" Yang Guihua shot him a glance.
Just that flirtatious look was enough to excite any man, and Ling Feng nodded at once, "Deal, you just wait and see!"
Yang Guihua didn’t seem to take it too seriously, giving a perfunctory nod before checking the bill, "You’ve spent five hundred and eighty today. Since you helped me out just now, I’ll round it down. Pay five hundred."
"What the hell, that much for a few dishes?" Ling Feng jumped, startled at the price!
"The bill is right here, you can check it for yourself."
Taking a look, Ling Feng realized that just the oyster mushroom stir-fried with bamboo shoots cost a whopping one hundred and forty-eight!
"Damn it, delicious for sure, but a bit too pricey!" he couldn’t help but complain.
Yang Guihua nodded, "Can’t help it. These mushrooms have two features: one is they’re fresh and the other is they’re expensive!"
"Alright, lesson learned," Ling Feng nodded, somewhat begrudgingly handing over five hundred bills.
After paying and returning to the private room, Chen Yuhe immediately asked, "Where did you go, why did it take so long?"
"It’s nothing, shall we go?" Ling Feng inquired.
The two women nodded and got up to leave the room together.
Outside, Mo Jiaolan still wanted to pay the bill, but Yang Guihua quickly said, "This gentleman has already settled it."
"How can that be okay? It was supposed to be my treat!" Mo Jiaolan said, baffled.
Chen Yuhe, however, gave Ling Feng a small smile, "I didn’t expect you to be such a gentleman!"
"Of course, I have quite a few of those qualities," Ling Feng boasted proudly.
Chen Yuhe immediately retorted with a sneer, "You puff up at the slightest praise!"
Yang Guihua watched the three leave with a smile but was secretly trying to guess the nature of their relationship.
With Mo Jiaolan’s plan to treat having failed, she could only nod and say to Ling Feng, "Alright, but you can’t do this next time, or I won’t eat with you again!"
"Sure, you can treat next time!" Ling Feng chuckled.
The trio stepped out, and just as they were about to get into the car, they happened to see the skinny old man walking out from the back yard, hurrying onto an electric bike and riding away.
"Jiaolan, could you follow that old guy?" Ling Feng asked immediately.
