CHAPTER 616: CHAPTER 615 VISITORS FROM THE COUNTY (9/10)

Early morning.

Yang Chen got up at five, ran alone to the hilltop, and sat cross-legged on a stone to train.

He felt that training on the hilltop seemed to be more effective, and he felt refreshed.

By the time he returned, it was already six o’clock.

When Yang Chen came back, he happened to see Gao Hong washing up, preparing to go for a run.

Gao Hong looked at Yang Chen, his face filled with embarrassment, and said to Yang Chen, "Well... I..."

Yang Chen said lightly, "Besides diligence, find more methods and feel more."

Gao Hong nodded and ran out.

Yang Chen washed his face and started knocking on Li Wanwan’s room door.

Last night, the four girls squeezed into one room.

"Wanwan, get up!" Yang Chen shouted and then started packing things.

About half an hour later, Li Wanwan finally came out, her face full of sleepy confusion.

Yang Chen had already packed up and said to Li Wanwan, "Let’s go, treat your mother!"

Yang Chen had calculated the time, and it was just right for the second treatment.

When they entered the room, Yang Chen applied acupuncture again, repeating the process.

After Wang Guilan took the medicine, they waited fifteen minutes before Yang Chen began massaging for recovery.

At this time, someone outside shouted, "Wanwan! Guilan!"

Li Wanwan looked at Yang Chen and Wang Guilan.

Wang Guilan said to Li Wanwan, "Go outside and see who has come."

Li Wanwan nodded and went out.

When she got to the yard, she saw her Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle standing there.

"Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle," Li Wanwan said.

Fourth Uncle said, "Wanwan, we heard someone came to your home to treat your mom?"

"Isn’t it a comrade of your brother?" Fifth Uncle asked.

"Yes, it is," Li Wanwan nodded.

"Are you sure of his identity? How can you believe anyone? What if he’s a fraud!" Fourth Uncle said.

Fifth Uncle also said, "Exactly! Your family is just you and your mother, conmen like to target people like that!"

Li Wanwan didn’t want to hear others call Yang Chen a fraud, so she immediately defended, "Brother Chen is not a fraud."

Upon hearing Li Wanwan call Yang Chen "Brother Chen," Fourth Uncle immediately widened his eyes, "And he’s not a fraud! Did that person leave last night? Where did he sleep? Did he bully you!"

Li Wanwan, albeit young and inexperienced, knew some things. Hearing this, she immediately said anxiously, "Fourth Uncle, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"Nonsense? Remember this! You are a member of the Li family, and you must never do anything to disgrace the Li family!" Fourth Uncle said angrily.

The way he looked, it was as if he had already concluded that Li Wanwan had not maintained her purity and had some relationship with Yang Chen.

"Old Fourth! What crap are you spewing!" Wang Guilan stood at the door, yelling angrily.

Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle were dumbfounded to see Wang Guilan standing at the door, unbelievably looking at her. They knew Wang Guilan had a disabled leg and couldn’t stand.

Yet Wang Guilan was standing now, leaving the two stupefied.

Wang Guilan pointed at the two of them in anger, "Old Fourth, Old Fifth, you two are truly something! What have we done to disgrace the Li family? Think about what your second brother did! And you still have the face to say we’re part of your Li family? When have you ever cared for us, mother and daughter? My son’s comrade finally came to help us, and you’re hastily slandering our Wanwan. What do you mean by that?"

Wang Guilan was furious.

Her daughter was still a pure girl, not yet an adult, graduating from middle school this year. If what they said got out, how could her daughter face people in the future?

Old Fourth and Old Fifth were embarrassed by Wang Guilan’s words.

"Your leg..." Old Fourth stared at Wang Guilan’s leg and asked.

"It’s healed!" Wang Guilan glared, "Xiaochen healed it!"

Old Fourth was somewhat incredulous, "Just in one day..."

"What’s one day? My son’s comrade is a battlefield doctor, treating people on the battlefield. To treat a person like me is nothing!" Wang Guilan said coldly.

"This..." Old Fourth and Old Fifth exchanged looks, somewhat in disbelief.

At this moment, several cars stopped at the door.

Several people got out of the cars, stood at the door, and asked, "Excuse me, is this Wang Guilan’s house?"

Immediately, everyone turned to look at the door.

But when they saw the person standing at the door, they were all stunned.

Especially Old Fourth and Old Fifth, they looked in disbelief at the person standing at the door.

Isn’t this the person from the county?

How could such a high-ranking official come here?

Wang Guilan was also stunned, looking incredulously at the big official, recalling the strange stories her daughter told her last night. Could they be true?

"Yes! It’s here!" Li Wanwan, knowing what’s going on, quickly replied.

The county official, seeing Li Wanwan, confirmed that this was indeed Wang Guilan’s house.

He walked in with a smile, signaled his men carrying things to come in, and said to Wang Guilan, "Ms. Wang Guilan, our county leaders heard about your situation and are very concerned! We sympathize greatly with your family’s situation. This is a token of our regard, please accept it."

Wang Guilan looked in the direction the county officer pointed and saw that they had brought many things: two boxes of cooking oil, two boxes of apples, two bags of flour, two bags of rice, two quilts, two sheep, two pigs, a cow, and some cash.

These gifts left Wang Guilan stunned.

"As the saying goes," the county official said, "it’s better to teach people to fish than to give them fish. Besides some daily necessities, we bring you cattle, sheep, and pigs, hoping you can rely on breeding to improve your family’s life. Though the cash is not much, it represents some intention from our county, so you can buy some recuperative products to convalesce, and about your illness..."

Mentioning the illness, the county official blinked, looking at Wang Guilan standing, somewhat puzzled.

During yesterday’s questioning, he was clear about Wang Guilan’s condition through the descriptions by the director and Zhou Yao, but now...

"My illness has already improved!" Wang Guilan said excitedly, "Thank you for your concern, my guard has let Xiaochen treat me, Xiaochen is my son’s comrade."

The county official looked at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen said lightly, "Not yet, it’s just initially effective, curing it will take some time."

The county official found it hard to believe, "Did you not just yesterday..."

Yang Chen said lightly, "Finding the right lesion, treatment is not difficult."

Hearing this, the county official’s eyes flashed with shock, and he also began to ponder...

Old Fourth and Old Fifth, watching this scene, were completely stunned.

They never expected that a couple of county officials would come here, and from the way the county official spoke, addressed Yang Chen as "you," seemingly very respectful.

"Guilan, who are these people..." Old Fourth thought for a moment and asked.

Wang Guilan looked at Old Fourth coldly and said, "There’s nothing more, you can go back now!"

After what Old Fourth said about her daughter, naturally, Wang Guilan wouldn’t give him any good looks.

Being widows and orphans in the village was already hard enough; if Wang Guilan didn’t show some strength, they would be bullied relentlessly.
