Chapter 40: Chapter 40 We Are Not Here to Cause Trouble

"Your clothes?"

Startled by Liu Suqiu’s outburst, Liu Zheng was a bit confused.

Even now, he still didn’t understand what was wrong with Liu Suqiu’s clothes.

At that moment, Liu Suqiu was frantic, tears spinning in her eyes.

Her almond-shaped eyes wide open, there were tears, but it seemed as though there was also a flame burning within them.

If she could have turned around, she probably would have slapped him by now.

"I, I—the hook of my underwear came off, help me hook it back on!"

"Damn, you mean this? Why didn’t you say so earlier, who would have known what you meant?"

"You, you... Now that you know, why aren’t you hurrying to take your hand away? You pervert."

Liu Suqiu felt a despairing urge to cry and the desire to kill someone surged within her.

She was taken advantage of, and now it seemed as if she was the one at fault.

If you don’t know what’s going on, why don’t you ask? You’re just taking advantage of me without even asking, and now it turns out to be my fault?

Liu Zheng finally understood, although he was indeed somewhat reluctant to let go.

But without a reason to continue, he could only sigh inwardly and withdrew his hand.

Now that he understood, Liu Zheng had no option but to honestly hook the clasp of Liu Suqiu’s underwear.

However, when he turned around, he pinched his own palm.

The feeling from before was so incredibly good.

As for why Liu Suqiu’s underwear clasp came undone, it was actually quite simple.

The car was bumpy just now, and she had close contact with Liu Zheng; it must have been then that it got unhooked.

But at that moment, after pinching his palm, Liu Zheng’s heart raced uncontrollably.

The feel of that touch was so enchanting, lingering in his mind, hard to forget.

Once the underwear clasp was fixed, Liu Suqiu turned around, took a deep sniffle, feeling very wronged.

With an angry swing, she punched Liu Zheng’s back hard and asked furiously, "Is this the way you won over my sister? By methods like this?"

Hearing her lumping himself and Liu Sumei together again, and the relationship sounded incredibly complicated.

Turning back to glance at her, Liu Zheng quickly corrected," Don’t talk nonsense, what I have with your sister is completely innocent."

"Hmph! Innocent? Who are you trying to fool? If it’s so innocent, why did you go straight to taking off her pants on the kang after entering the room?"

Liu Suqiu didn’t believe Liu Zheng’s defense at all.

She only believed what she had experienced and seen.

Speaking of which, Liu Zheng is a single man, although he isn’t married, he isn’t afraid of village gossip.

But if this were to spread through the village, chewed over by all those gossipy aunts, how could Liu Sumei face anyone in the future?

Thinking about this, Liu Zheng felt it was imperative to clarify the situation.

"What on earth are you thinking? There’s absolutely nothing between your sister and me; she was injured before, and I went to your house today to apply medicine. But as soon as I entered, I heard you calling out, and I thought sister Sumei’s injury had worsened, so I took off my pants without a word to check on her."

Although Liu Zheng spoke the truth, Liu Suqiu still didn’t believe him.

She snorted and said, "If you were just checking the wound, why was your hand so restless?"

With that question, Liu Zheng indeed found it somewhat hard to explain.

After all, at that time he was indeed trying to take advantage of the situation.

Especially his wandering hands, which were about to reach inside someone’s collar.

Although it wasn’t an appropriate thing to respond to, Liu Zheng still thickened his skin and forcefully replied, "How have I been dishonest? Sister-in-law Su Mei’s injury is right at the root of her thigh. Moreover, the acupuncture point is near the chest, so I had to perform acupressure to stop the bleeding. How have I been dishonest?"

Liu Suqiu could not stump Liu Zheng and could not help but glare at him. Although she was somewhat skeptical, there was nothing she could do if she didn’t believe him.

The incident had already happened, and indeed Liu Zheng was capable of treating illnesses, which was beyond doubt.

All Su Qiu could do after giving Liu Zheng a skeptical look was to say, "Fine, no more nonsense, let’s go."

Hearing that she wasn’t going to pursue it further, Liu Zheng was immediately relieved, as if granted amnesty, and quickly started the car, heading towards the county town.

This time, Liu Zheng was much more behaved, as after all, the road was smooth and there was no way to play any tricks.

When the car arrived in the county town, Liu Zheng dropped Liu Suqiu off at the entrance of a very luxurious residential complex, and they went their separate ways.

After leaving, Liu Zheng first went to Renxin Hall to deliver herbal medicines.

However, this time he did not see Qin Wanru; she probably had something to take care of and wasn’t there.

The herbs were not particularly valuable this time, and he only sold them for a total of two thousand yuan.

After coming out of Renxin Hall, Liu Zheng went straight to the county committee.

He wanted to deal with the expansion of his clinic and was hoping to get financial support from the county.

But there were too many people, and he had to wait in line for a long time.

After inquiring, he learned that the county’s support for village clinics and the like had a limited number of quotas.

Although Liu Zheng’s clinic already had a license, getting expansion support and funding from the county wasn’t as simple as just asking for it.

The county’s subsidy quotas were already gone.

If he wanted to expand, he would probably have to dig into his own pocket.

Leaving the county committee, Liu Zheng felt somewhat disheartened.

It might just be a small clinic and only an expansion, but it was proving to be very troublesome to carry out.

If he couldn’t get the subsidy from the county, he would have to use his own money.

But how much would that cost?

As he thought about it, Zhao Cuihua came to his mind.

Could it be that for the expansion of the clinic, he would have to sell his own body?

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

However, since things had come to this, he could only put the matter aside for now.

Afterward, Liu Zheng went to the market in the county.

His brother was frail and his sister-in-law led a tough life, seldom able to afford even a bite of meat.

Now that he had some money in his pocket, Liu Zheng directly bought five pounds of meat, along with some fresh vegetables and fruits.

He planned to cook a good meal for his brother and sister-in-law to improve their life when he got back.

With this in mind and seeing that the time was about right, he drove his electric tricycle directly to the vicinity of the residential complex where he had earlier dropped off Liu Suqiu.

But just as he arrived,

before he could even stop the car, he saw a few men surrounding the place, their smiles lecherous, and they were teasing someone.

"I say, beauty! We’re all here to genuinely buy clothes, you can’t just falsely accuse us of causing trouble, can you?"

"Exactly, we’re all sincere about buying clothes. It’s just that there’s no model or anything, so you’ll have to put them on and show us, brothers. If it looks good, we’ll buy them."

"That’s right! Beauty, with your figure, it’s bound to look good. Come on, put it on for us brothers to see."
