Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 694 - 697: Don’t Understand

Swallow Li's actions left Liu Ergou completely puzzled.

I'm in danger, so why is Master acting as if he doesn't care at all? Could it be that my life is insignificant in his eyes?

The thought made Liu Ergou feel a surge of indignation.

"Master, you're going too far!" Liu Ergou said angrily. "I told you I was in danger! Why are you still acting like this? Can't you just..."

Liu Ergou hadn't finished his sentence when he was interrupted by Swallow Li.

Swallow Li, who was basking in the sun, opened one eye and glanced sidelong at Liu Ergou. "What should I do? Hear that you're in danger and get up to avenge you? Young man, I'm begging you, use your brain. If that person really meant you harm, do you think you'd still be standing here talking to me? I really can't believe you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou stood there, stunned.

He's right, why didn't I think of that? If that person had intended to harm me, I would have been finished long ago. There's no way I could have made it back to the village.

For a moment, Liu Ergou was speechless, not knowing what to say.

The next second, Swallow Li added, "Also, please be smarter the next time you boast! What's this nonsense about the odds being twenty-eighty? With you at twenty and him at eighty, that is! Do you think you stand a chance against someone who can appear behind you without a sound? If he wanted to kill you, you wouldn't even have time to react!

"So, stop trying to make yourself look good! Alright, I've said all I need to say. If there's nothing else, then scram. I'm going back to rest."

With that, Swallow Li turned his head away, adopting a look of complete disinterest.

Liu Ergou stood there, his mouth agape, but ultimately said nothing. He turned and left.

It wasn't that Liu Ergou had nothing to say; Swallow Li's words were simply too logical to refute.

Staying any longer would just be looking for trouble. Leaving now is the best option.

Soon, Liu Ergou left the courtyard. Only after his figure had disappeared from sight did Swallow Li open his eyes, looking in the direction Liu Ergou had gone.

Then he muttered softly, "TSK. What's his deal? Why did he suddenly decide to show up today? Didn't we agree last time that it wasn't his time yet? What's he doing here now? I really don't get it. His appearance is just stirring up trouble. I'm at my wit's end with him! But it can't be helped. He's here now, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Having said that, Swallow Li lay back down and continued to enjoy his sunbath.

「Meanwhile, Liu Ergou had returned to his house.」

His house was empty, not a soul in sight. As expected, his sister-in-law had gone to work in the fields again.

After looking around the house, Liu Ergou sighed deeply, went back to his room, and flopped onto his bed with a long, lazy stretch.

Since no one's home, I might as well sleep in. When I wake up, I'll go look for my other women.

However, just as Liu Ergou was drifting off to sleep, a familiar voice suddenly called out from outside the door.

"Junior Brother, my dear Junior Brother, where are you!"

Only one person could call Liu Ergou "Junior Brother," and that was Ning Hua.

Upon hearing Ning Hua's call, Liu Ergou reluctantly opened his eyes and sat up. He had intended to ignore her shouting, but she showed no signs of stopping.

"Liu Ergou! Hurry up and come out! I call you 'Junior Brother' a couple of times and you get all high and mighty, is that it? Giving me the silent treatment for so long! Don't think I don't know you're back. Get out here! Quick, quick!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou finally responded with a helpless sigh, "What's the matter, Senior Sister!"

With that, Liu Ergou went outside.

There stood Ning Hua in the courtyard, hands on her hips, an unhappy expression on her face.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou's heart skipped a beat.

Ning Hua's unhappy?! Oh no, she's probably going to use me as a punching bag.

At that thought, Liu Ergou wanted to turn and leave, to get as far away from Ning Hua as possible and avoid a beating.

But just as Liu Ergou took a step, he had a sudden realization.

Wait, I'm strong enough to beat Ning Hua now. She's no longer a match for me, so what can she do even if she's angry? The days when she could use me to vent her anger are over!

The thought instantly erased his fear.

Looking at Ning Hua, Liu Ergou asked, "What's wrong, Senior Sister? Why were you yelling for me? Judging by your tone, you sound pretty unhappy. What happened? Did you get dumped? Or maybe your boyfriend cheated on you?"

Ning Hua rolled her eyes at Liu Ergou's remarks, then stepped forward and kicked him hard.

"Shut your mouth, Liu Ergou!" Ning Hua said irritably. "Those three things you mentioned are all basically the same thing! Besides, can't you say something nice for a change? Why do you always have to wish the worst for me? I'm so done with you!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou just chuckled.

"Hey now, Senior Sister, you can't blame me. Other than that, I really can't think of any other reason why you'd be so angry. Just tell me what's wrong. Don't make me guess—I'm too dumb, I'll never figure it out!"

After hearing this, Ning Hua rolled her eyes again.

"You, dumb? Who are you kidding?"

"Whatever, I can't be bothered to argue with you. It's a good thing you're back, actually. There's something I need your help with."

Liu Ergou nodded. "Senior Sister, what do you need help with? Just name it. If I can do it, I absolutely will!"

Hearing Liu Ergou's eager response, Ning Hua didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"It's nothing major. I just haven't bathed in a long time, and I'd really like to take a hot bath. But it doesn't seem like there's anywhere to do that in your village. So, could you help me figure something out? I'm dying for a hot bath."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou replied without a second thought, "Why do you need a hot bath? What's wrong with a cold one? It's still so hot this summer, a cold bath would be perfect! Besides, aren't we martial artists? You're not scared of catching a cold from some chilly water, are you?"

The moment he said this, Ning Hua's face flushed crimson. In the blink of an eye, her cheeks were as red as an apple, which left Liu Ergou completely baffled.

Why did her face suddenly turn so red?
