My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 93 He thought he was lying flat
Chapter 93: 93 He thought he was lying flat
Lin Xiuyuan glanced at her sideways and smiled, "He probably thought the wooden board he was lying on was a coffin plank."
"Exactly, he sure has a vivid imagination," Zhao Shuzhen’s eyes were brimming with laughter.
"But to think that our second brother, with his simple and honest nature, could actually have such a daughter like Tangtang, it’s really..."
Her thoughts drifted to the potion her granddaughter had mentioned, and her gaze suddenly deepened.
"Xiuyuan, do you think you could use Tangtang’s potion?"
Zhao Shuzhen was considering asking Tangtang for some of that potion.
Xiuyuan had always had a weak constitution, and despite her nurturing him with great care for decades, he was still thin and frail, frequently falling ill.
Ever since their marriage, she had been constantly worried about his health.
If her granddaughter’s potion really was beneficial for Xiuyuan’s health, it would be a tremendous blessing for the Lin Family.
Lin Xiuyuan patted her arm with a gentle voice.
"There’s no hurry for this matter; we can ask about it some other day and find out."
Zhao Shuzhen was always quick-tempered, but when it came to Lin Xiuyuan, she had almost exhausted all her patience in life.
This time was no exception.
She suppressed the urgency in her heart and said, "I’ll listen to you."
Meanwhile, Lin Lu finally figured out the situation.
It turned out they weren’t planning to bury him but to take him to the hospital.
It was a good thing he didn’t voice the grumbles that were in his mind.
Otherwise, he would have completely lost face today.
"Cough!! I’m fine, no need for a hospital, why waste that unjustified money.
I feel like I could punch a cow to death right now," Lin Lu was very adamant about not going to the hospital.
Li Xiuli was worried but said, "You and your cow-punching, I reckon you could blow a cow away with a single breath.
Look up there in the sky, see that? That’s a cow you’ve blown into the heavens."
As if he could punch a cow to death.
If he had that strength, he would have already killed two wild boars.
What a bunch of hot air!
Lin Lu looked up at the sky with all seriousness and shamelessly asked, "Where, where? Where’s the flying cow?"
The couple bantered, turning Lin Tang and her siblings into mere background props.
Lin Fu and Qi Dafa exchanged looks, baffled.
How did Second Brother (Lin Er) suddenly get better?!
Qi Dafa had been nervously sweating the whole journey, fearing a good thing might turn bad, and that Lin Er would lose his life.
But now seeing Lin Lu completely fine,
the tension in his nerves suddenly eased.
He wiped the sweat from his face, the solemnity then relaxing.
Thinking of Aunt Zhao’s formidable fists, Qi Dafa shuddered.
Luckily Lin Er was alright.
His own skin was nothing like that of a wild boar.
Had Aunt Zhao so much as waved a fist at him, he would have passed out.
After all, those were the fists that made wild boars squeal.
Qi Xiangdong saw his father’s sweat streaming down his face and asked, "Dad, are you very hot? You’re sweating profusely."
Qi Dafa glanced at his clueless son and sighed internally.
After all, he, as the head of the family, bore all the responsibility.
They had come so close... they might have been branded as criminals.
With a helpless shake of his head, Qi Dafa wiped his sweat again and changed the subject:
"What happened to Lin Er? How did he suddenly get better?"
Qi Xiangdong’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly explained.
Qi Dafa was stunned for a moment, not overthinking it; instead, he sighed,
"Worthy of being the girl who topped every year, the only high school graduate in ten miles. She really is something."
"How did we end up with such a remarkable girl?"
"A daughter as exceptional as Lin Tang is probably unique to our brigade, truly talented."
"Skilled in making medicine which is so difficult, her mind is simply too brilliant for words..."
"Lin Er having such a daughter is truly envy-inducing, though it’s not just envy, there’s a bit of jealousy too..."
She began to mutter incessantly.
Qi Xiangdong, listening to his father’s profuse compliments while observing Uncles Lin’s expression souring as though he had eaten unripe fruit, twitched the corners of his mouth.
He had, in fact, heard such praise from childhood.
Yet, it was the first time he saw his father so excited.
However.
He believed his father would gradually come to accept a reality: the excellent children always belong to other families.
This wasn’t something one could envy into existence.
After all, with seeds like that, how do you expect the saplings to turn out?
That’s not to say that there weren’t other good saplings.
It’s just that their Qi family, and he, as a younger member, did not think too highly of it, truly lacked the thread of scholarship.
Such thoughts, Qi Xiangdong would only entertain in his mind, naturally not daring to voice them excessively.
Over there—
Li Xiuli, worried, asked Lin Lu several times.
Only after she was certain that he was truly alright, did she punch him.
Her fist, raised in anger, lost much of its strength by the time it descended.
The moment her hand touched a spot slightly below Lin Lu’s chest, she felt her hand get scratched by something.
Something hard and unbudging.
"What’s inside your clothes?" Li Xiuli asked.
Lin Lu’s face slightly changed.
He glanced at his daughter who was a few steps away, talking with some kids, and gave her a look, signaling her to discuss it later.
Li Xiuli nodded and didn’t ask further.
The members of the Lin Family, seeing that Lin Lu was indeed without any problems, exchanged a few words of concern and then hurried off to work.
Goodness me.
Heaven knows how devastated they were, suddenly hearing he had been upended by a wild boar while they were working properly.
That’s the formidable beast of the mountains with thick skin and tough flesh!
Who could handle it?
Lucky there was no serious incident, otherwise...
A letdown and a fuss over more than an hour.
The barefoot doctor didn’t say anything more and people dispersed.
He wasn’t bothered either. Naturally, it was for the best if there were no issues; it would be troublesome if there were.
Afterward, he also went down to the fields to work.
In those days, the barefoot doctors were peasants who also practiced medicine, laboring while attending to the medical needs of the collective members.
The Lin family headed home.
Along the way, everyone’s stomachs grumbled in unison.
Their cries were exceptionally clear and loud.
And it wasn’t just Lin Tang and Li Xiuli, who had rushed back all the way, but also the others who had worked all morning in the fields.
Zhou Mei felt as if her empty stomach could touch her spine, her whole body weakened.
"I’m starving! Oh my, why am I so hungry today, it feels like my chest is on fire.
I can’t take it anymore; if I don’t eat soon, I’ll pass out," she wailed, muttering to herself.
Lin Qingshui reached out to support her, frowning and said, "Hold on a little longer, we’re almost home. Ask around, who isn’t hungry?"
Lin Lu sighed, "Ah, it’s all my fault I didn’t notice the wild boar coming down the mountain..."
If it wasn’t for that, they wouldn’t have been delayed till now without food.
His words were laced with indescribable annoyance.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mei glanced at Lin Qingshui feeling guilty and quickly said, "Why would Dad say that? I was just speaking offhandedly, just offhandedly, that’s all."
The others indicated they were already accustomed to her way of speaking carelessly.
This time, there wasn’t even a hint of surprise.
Once home.
Li Xiuli went first into the room and took out the Peach Crisp from the cabinet, handing it to Lin Tang.
"Tangtang, if you’re hungry, eat a piece of Peach Crisp to tide you over. Mom will make lunch, it will be ready soon," she said before hurrying off to the kitchen.
