    A woman walked in and was slightly startled to see Tang Feng, “Who are you?”

    At this moment, Zou Mei came out.

    “Li Xia, what brings you here?” Seeing her old classmate, Zou Mei was somewhat flustered.

    “Oh!

    Your complexion is rosy and you seem much more spirited, have you taken some sort of elixir recently that made you so much younger?” Li Xia exclaimed.

    “My illness is cured.”

    “Really, thank heavens, thank the earth, who’s this young man, ah, you haven’t found yourself a man, have you?”

    “What are you talking about, he’s a doctor, he came to treat me, we were right in the middle of a treatment,” Zou Mei hurriedly said.

    “Hello, Auntie,” Tang Feng said with a nod and a smile.

    “Cough cough, can you call me sister?

    Wow, you’re so handsome.

    You know how to practice medicine at such a young age?”

    “It’s a family tradition, and I just happened to be classmates with Xinyin, so I came over to give it a try,” Tang Feng explained.

    “So you come from a family of doctors, that’s perfect, I’ve been having some discomfort in my chest, could you take a look?” As she spoke, she tried to grab Tang Feng’s hand, but Zou Mei quickly slapped her away, “What are you doing, girl?

    Trying to scare him off?”

    “Hehe, you say there’s nothing, but look at how protective you are,” Li Xia gave Zou Mei a knowing look and left her feeling helpless, deciding not to explain any further.

    “I’m going to set up my stall soon; did you come to help?”

    “I don’t have time; that rascal is returning from a business trip tonight, and I need to go back to cook for him.

    Let the handsome guy help you, which is probably what you want the most.

    As sisters, I won’t disturb you any longer.” Li Xia walked up to Tang Feng, suddenly patted his arm and almost reached for his face, startling Tang Feng considerably.

    This woman is too crazy, it’s wise to keep some distance.

    Tang Feng quickly got up and stepped back two steps.

    “Yo, you’re not afraid of your sister eating you, are you?

    Alright, I’m off, won’t disturb you two anymore, hehehe,” Li Xia left with a trail of laughter.

    “I’m sorry, you had to witness that embarrassing scene,” Zou Mei felt she couldn’t show her face to anyone, truly regretting her choice of friends.

    “Hehe, it’s okay, I’m just not used to so much enthusiasm,” Tang Feng said.

    “Pfft!”

    Zou Mei couldn’t help but laugh seeing Tang Feng’s expression.

    “Cough cough, you’re not allowed to laugh so openly in front of others from now on.”

    “Why not?”

    “Because you look very pretty when you laugh.”

    “Ah, I see,” she said.

    Zou Mei was unsettled.

    She hastily turned away.

    Tang Feng didn’t say anything more but instead began to push the cart, ready to go.

    “I’ll go with you,” Zou Mei, donning her apron, followed him.

    “It’s fine for you to rest at home.”

    “No, if you don’t let me come, then you don’t go either.”

    Seeing Zou Mei was unbending, Tang Feng had no choice but to compromise, “Then you just watch from the side; I’ll handle the rest.”

    “Okay,” Zou Mei then broke into a smile.

    Tang Feng learned very quickly; Zou Mei needed only to do things once, and he had it all figured out.

    Zou Mei couldn’t help but express her amazement.

    As the afternoon off-work hours approached, more people began to show up.

    Tang Feng was so busy he was spinning around; this time he deeply appreciated how tough it was for Zou Mei, this woman.

    His own strength was barely holding up, and he truly didn’t know how she had managed all this time.

    After putting himself in her shoes for a while, he became even more sympathetic towards this woman.

    And he thought she was truly incredible.

    This must be the power of motherly love.

    “Zou Mei, stop, sit down and take a break.

    There aren’t many people around now; leave the rest to me,” Tang Feng said with a firm stand, and Zou Mei found she couldn’t resist that kind of demeanor, obediently sitting to the side.

    She was completely stunned, not understanding why she had obeyed Tang Feng, but when he spoke, indeed she couldn’t put up any resistance.

    What was going on?

    Watching Tang Feng work like an old hand, she couldn’t help but feel both annoyed and amused.

    Thanks to his help, sixty percent of the spicy hotpot had already been sold in just over an hour.

    The business was indeed good.

    Watching Tang Feng earnestly skewering the vegetables and meat slices, a smile appeared on her face.

    This lad looked so handsome in action.

    Being young is so great.

    No, she must let Lin Xinyin hold on tight; boys like this are really rare.

    “Mom, I’m back,” Lin Xinyin’s voice called out.

    Only then did Zou Mei react, cursing herself silently before quickly getting dinner ready.

    The three of them worked hard, and they packed up and returned home before eight o’clock.

    “Xiao Feng, did you skip classes this afternoon?” Zou Mei asked anxiously as soon as she got home, not wanting family matters to interfere with Tang Feng’s studies.

    “I haven’t been for several days,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

    “How can that be?

    Your college entrance exams are next year; time is tight.

    If you don’t work hard, aren’t you afraid of missing out on university?” Zou Mei said.

    “I’m prepared, it’s okay,” Tang Feng replied with a smile.

    “Tang Feng, you can’t be like this.

    If you continue this way, I won’t accept your help anymore,” Zou Mei said worriedly, afraid of the responsibility if she held Tang Feng back in life.

    “Zou Mei, really, it’s fine, I have my own plans for this,” Tang Feng assured her.

    Zou Mei really got angry, “Yes, you’re not anyone to me, I can’t manage you, nor do I have the right.”

    “Aunt Zou, I can treat you like family.

    If you want me to go back to my studies, I will, no more setting up the stall,” Tang Feng offered.

    “Okay, I’ll stop doing it.

    You listen to your aunt and go home to study, okay?” Zou Mei proposed.

    “Not good enough; I can only rest easy once you’ve fully recovered.

    In fact, I’ve already completed the coursework, and getting into college won’t be an issue,” Tang Feng insisted.

    “Why are you so stubborn?

    This could affect your whole life.

    I really can’t shoulder such responsibility.”

    “Okay, just listen to me; after all, I’m the only man in the house,” Tang Feng said.

    Zou Mei was speechless, knowing she couldn’t persuade Tang Feng and so she turned to her daughter, “Xiao Yin, you must make your brother go to school, understand?”

    “Oh,” Lin Xinyin stuck out her tongue playfully, not minding at all in her heart.

    She was very aware of Tang Feng’s capabilities.

    With his level, he was sure to get into a top university, and she had improved rapidly with his tutoring recently.

    “Brother, what do you plan to do?

    Mom seems really angry,” she said.

    “Just ignore her.

    By the way, how was your studying today?”

    “Don’t mention it.

    The boys in class keep looking at me and talking to me; how am I supposed to focus?”

    “That just proves my Xiao Yin is charming,” Tang Feng laughed.

    “Brother, no making fun of me.

    You know, I only care about your feelings,” Lin Xinyin confessed, her heart pounding afterward.

    “You little girl, have you fallen for your brother?”

    “It seems like it.”

    “Not just a crush?”

    “It’s liking, I’m sure.”

    “So, should your brother celebrate a little?” Tang Feng laughed.

    “Yes, tomorrow I want you to make me a delicious meal.”

    “Alright, my little princess.

    But, won’t your mom object?”

    “She won’t.”

    “Oh, why’s that?”

    Lin Xinyin naturally wouldn’t tell Tang Feng that all this was with her mother’s approval; otherwise, how would she dare to have a romance?

    Tang Feng left with a smile.

    That night, Zou Mei and Lin Xinyin talked for a long time, but as for her own thoughts, those were known only to herself.

    The next afternoon, Tang Feng showed up at Zou Mei’s house on time.

    Still upset, Zou Mei ignored him, so Tang Feng, undisturbed, helped prepare the materials and pushed the cart outside.

    But tonight wasn’t smooth; not long after setting up, troublemakers arrived.

    Needless to say, they were targeting Zou Mei.

    After her recovery, she had transformed from a duckling into a swan, and the lowlifes of society turned red-eyed at the sight of her.
