Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 77 Aphorisms

Doctor Chen?!

BOOM—

Everyone at the scene froze.

What did they just hear?

The esteemed Magistrate He Yongkun of Songshan County had actually referred to Chen Xiaobei as a Divine Doctor?

They would rather believe the Earth had just exploded than accept this as the truth!

Zhang Xiangdong’s eyes bulged, and Yang Zhengtian was utterly speechless.

Qiu Xingcai felt dizzy, as if she were in a dream.

Only Chen Xiaobei remained perfectly calm, his expression cool and collected.

Facing the imposing He Yongkun, he didn’t lose an ounce of ground; in fact, he seemed even more domineering than the Magistrate himself.

In a flash, Chen Xiaobei pointed at Zhang Xiangdong and said, "Want to know what happened? Ask him."

"Uh—"

He Yongkun hadn’t expected Chen Xiaobei to be so brazen, and his face soured slightly.

But he had witnessed Chen Xiaobei’s medical skills for himself. His own son’s heart had a needle embedded in it by Chen Xiaobei, and he had specially invited the best doctors to examine He Lisan. However, the conclusion was always the same. The position of the needle was unimaginable. It wasn’t just a problem in Huaxia; even in America, trying to remove it would mean certain death.

In an instant, He Yongkun understood that Chen Xiaobei was indeed a Divine Doctor. Such a person was not someone a mere county magistrate like himself could afford to offend. Coincidentally, his daughter had contracted a strange illness, so he had come to request his help personally.

He just never expected Chen Xiaobei to be so badass!

But He Yongkun didn’t think too much of it. Young people ought to have a bit of pride.

Turning back, he asked with displeasure, "What exactly happened? Why are these people injured?"

"Magistrate He, save me!" Zhang Xiangdong cried, clinging to his hand like a dog.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Zhang Xiangdong, the president of the Songshan Rural Credit Cooperative. We were holding a class reunion here, and Chen Xiaobei is one of our classmates.

"But unexpectedly, just because I made a little joke with a female classmate, Chen Xiaobei lost his temper. Look how he beat me up! Please, Magistrate, stand up for me.

"Moreover, Magistrate He, you must be mistaken. I know this Chen Xiaobei; he doesn’t know any medicine at all. Please don’t be deceived by this guy!"

"Deceive my ass!" He Lisan kicked him to the ground and roared, "I am He Lisan, the mayor of Mangniu Town! It was Doctor Chen who cured my illness. Do you think I’d be lying about that?

"The way I see it, there’s something fishy going on here. Doctor Chen has never been one to bully others with his power; he would never hit someone without a good reason!"

Seeing her chance, Qiu Xingcai quickly chimed in, "Magistrate He, that’s not what happened at all. The truth is—"

Soon, Qiu Xingcai had recounted the entire incident.

Unexpectedly, Liang Xiaoxiao also spoke up. "Magistrate He, what Qiu Xingcai said is true. They all wanted to bully Xingcai, and Chen Xiaobei only fought to protect her. Please see that justice is done, Magistrate He!"

"Liang Xiaoxiao, fuck you!" Zhang Xiangdong completely lost his composure. He had seen people be two-faced before, but never this shameless. How could she switch sides so fast?

He Yongkun’s face darkened. "As a public official for many years," he declared, "what I detest most is this kind of quid pro quo of power for sexual favors, especially when it’s forced.

"As a bank president drawing a salary from the state, you engage in such filthy business.

"A beast like you deserves to rot in jail!

"Secretary Wang!" He Yongkun ordered, "Notify Director Zhou at once and have him arrest this Zhang Xiangdong tonight! Treat this matter with the utmost severity. Investigate thoroughly and prosecute strictly, with no mercy!"

"Right away, Magistrate," Secretary Wang said, immediately making a phone call.

"Magistrate, I was wrong! Please, just give me one more chance!" Zhang Xiangdong dropped to his knees. In his years as bank president, he had embezzled a great deal. If they really investigated him, he feared he’d never get out of prison.

But He Yongkun paid him no mind, turning to Chen Xiaobei respectfully. "Doctor Chen, since the matter is resolved, could we perhaps go to the hospital now? I’m afraid my daughter really isn’t going to make it."

"Alright," Chen Xiaobei nodded, then suddenly pointed at Yang Zhengtian. "He’s a classmate of Zhang Xiangdong’s, and he’s no good either. Arrest him too!"

"Doctor Chen, no! I didn’t do anything! At most, it was just an attempt!" Yang Zhengtian completely wet himself. He always thought Chen Xiaobei saw him as insignificant, but he never imagined Chen Xiaobei could be so vindictive. He hadn’t been clean these past couple of years either; if he went in, he’d likely never get out.

But Chen Xiaobei couldn’t be bothered with him. He took Qiu Xingcai’s hand and walked away.

"Zhang Xiangdong, fuck your mother! You’ve ruined me!" Desperate, Yang Zhengtian grabbed a liquor bottle and smashed it over Zhang Xiangdong’s head.

His agonizing screams echoed endlessly, but Chen Xiaobei couldn’t have felt more satisfied.

Especially when he noticed Qiu Xingcai’s pretty face blushing as he led her by the hand. He felt like he was flying. No wonder there was a saying online: it’s better to marry someone who loves you than someone you love. It was a profound truth! Look at Qiu Xingcai now, so demure and delicate, her eyes brimming with affection. Chen Xiaobei even felt that if he asked, she would strip for him on the spot.

But Chen Xiaobei wasn’t that reckless; after all, he still had to treat He Yongkun’s daughter. It was rather strange for someone to suddenly fall into a coma-like sleep for no reason.

Just then, He Lisan walked over. "Doctor Chen, the car is ready. Shall we proceed to the town hospital?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Forget it. I’ll go by myself."

Chen Xiaobei was disgusted by such a pushover to his very core. Besides, he had slept with the man’s wife and truly didn’t want any more contact with him.

He turned to Qiu Xingcai and said, "How about you take me there?"

"Okay, yes!" Qiu Xingcai, who was anxious for a chance to get closer to him, quickly brought her car around.

As he sat in the passenger seat, Chen Xiaobei watched Qiu Xingcai focus on her driving and said, "By the way, give me your bank account number later. Didn’t you need two million for an emergency? I can lend it to you."

"Ah?" Qiu Xingcai said in surprise, "Xiaobei, you... you’re not tricking me, are you?"

"Who’s tricking you?" Chen Xiaobei shot her a look. "I told you before that I have my own business now, but you just wouldn’t believe me! Remember, we’re classmates. If you ever have trouble in the future, just tell me. You don’t need to go asking others for help!"

"Xiaobei, I—" Qiu Xingcai’s eyes moistened, and she nearly crashed into a lamppost ahead.

This gave Chen Xiaobei quite a scare, and he hastily warned her, "Hey, old deskmate, you’d better watch the road when you drive! I’m telling you, this body of mine is priceless now. If you wreck me, you couldn’t afford to pay me back even if you sold yourself!"

"Tch! Who says I couldn’t afford it!" Qiu Xingcai pouted. Her mature, composed aura was now mixed with a spark of girlish vivacity.

In short, she was beautiful and sassy.

Soon, the car stopped outside the town hospital.

Following He Lisan upstairs, Chen Xiaobei quickly arrived at a private room on the third floor.

He had assumed the patient would be the only one in the room.

Unexpectedly, all the hospital’s doctors were crowded inside. They weren’t treating the patient but had instead focused their gazes on an old man by the bed who was taking the patient’s pulse, their faces filled with admiration.

"He Lisan, what’s going on here?" Chen Xiaobei was instantly displeased.
