The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 181 Mrs. Lu and the Plan_1

After an exceptionally early lunch at Yu Lan’s home, Li Qing set off with Hu Wei.

Compared to yesterday, Hu Wei seemed like a completely different person.

All along the way, he chattered to Li Qing with a face full of joy, dreaming about a bright future.

This big fat man, who had always lived a life of luxury, though hysterical yesterday, apparently still hadn’t realized just how heavy the burden of life was or how rugged the future might be.

Li Qing remained a qualified listener throughout, neither dampening his spirits nor indulging in Hu Wei’s wild fantasies.

Some things can only be understood after one has been through them.

After all, the words of others are always someone else’s.

And the fact that Hu Wei could maintain such a disposition was actually a good thing.

Li Qing dropped Hu Wei off at the long-distance bus station, "Remember to give me a call when you’ve got time, and let me know if you’re short on money."

"At home, one relies on their parents; out in the world, one relies on friends. Since you insist on leaving, I won’t say much more."

Hu Wei patted Li Qing’s shoulder with a moved expression, "Good brother, I definitely won’t stand on ceremony. I’m off."

"By the way, do you have feelings for Wu Xingxing?"

Li Qing paused, then immediately waved his hand, "She’s your match from a blind date, how could I have any feelings?"

He said this seemingly with a guilty conscience.

"I’ll let you in on a secret," Hu Wei said mysteriously, "Wu Xingxing is interested in you. If you feel the same, I suggest you settle things sooner rather than later. Once raw rice gets cooked into boiled rice, neither my dad nor her dad will be able to do anything about it."

"When it comes to Wu Xingxing, to put it bluntly, it’s like being a puppet on strings, I can’t make decisions for myself."

Fearing that Hu Wei might see through him, Li Qing asked earnestly, "Aren’t you going to fight for it?"

"I don’t like her, she doesn’t like me, what’s there to fight for?" Hu Wei said with a carefree laugh.

"I’m not lying to you, Wu Xingxing definitely has feelings for you. Don’t mind me, if your heart’s moved, just go for it!"

"I’m off, I’m off."

Hu Wei waved his hand and boarded the bus.

Li Qing stood there in a daze for a moment before heading towards the exit.

Hu Wei had actually noticed that Wu Xingxing liked him.

How obvious was Wu Xingxing’s behavior when she used to live at Yu Lan’s place?

This didn’t seem like good news at all.

Now that Wu Xingxing was living with Yu Lan, if she behaved boisterously as usual...

What would Yu Lan think?

Li Qing felt a headache coming on.

The key issue was that he couldn’t intervene; he could only take things one step at a time.

Just as he was leaving the waiting hall, Li Qing suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Xiao Li, are you here to pick someone up?"

Li Qing turned his head to look, and it was none other than Mrs. Lu.

She wore a light yellow dress, her hair elegantly pinned up, holding a purse on her arm.

She still looked so mature and radiant that Li Qing’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

"Lu... Sister Lu, I was here to see someone off," Li Qing said with a smile.

Mrs. Lu smiled gently, "It looks like the wound on your arm has healed, hasn’t it?"

Li Qing moved his arms a bit and said, "The wound has basically healed up nicely. I was supposed to get the stitches out these past two days, but I’ve been too busy to take care of it."

Mrs. Lu smiled and nodded her head, "You should still be more careful in the future."

"I’ve heard that once the wound heals, the stitches need to be removed early, otherwise they may get embedded inside."

"I’ll find time to go remove them in the next couple of days," Li Qing said.

He truly didn’t know about this.

Since Mrs. Lu had mentioned it, it certainly couldn’t be delayed any longer.

"Sister Lu, what are you preparing to do?" Li Qing asked.

Mrs. Lu pointed toward the cluster of vendors not far away, her eyes carrying a hint of ambiguous suggestiveness, and said with a light chuckle, "That doctor you visited last time, we’re quite close. I’m planning to go see her. She likes the grilled corn from the station side, I’ll buy her a couple."

As he thought about this, Li Qing couldn’t help but feel a sudden warmth in his heart.

He remembered the plan Xu Keqing had mentioned last time.

Suddenly preoccupied with this, he completely missed the look in Mrs. Lu’s eyes.

"Why don’t we take advantage of today and go to the hospital together?" Mrs. Lu suddenly suggested.

Li Qing snapped back to reality, flashed a bright smile, and said, "You go ahead, Sister Lu. I still have something to do but should be free by the afternoon. Then I’ll come over."

"Is that so? Well, then I’ll head off first."

Mrs. Lu waved her hand, twisting her graceful figure as she walked towards the vendors.

Li Qing watched her figure for a moment and swallowed quietly.

That figure, truly enchanting.

Walking back to his tricycle, Li Qing thought for a bit and then called Xu Keqing.

"Miss me?" Xu Keqing’s soft voice came through.

"Aching for you," Li Qing said.

"If you miss me that much, then come over. I don’t have any patients right now; do you want me to take my pants off in advance and wait for you?" Xu Keqing laughed seductively, her voice temptingly soft.

Li Qing involuntarily shivered.

This devil, too provocative.

"Sure, you take everything off below, just wear a white coat and wait for me, okay?" Li Qing couldn’t help but say.

"Okay," Xu Keqing actually agreed, "Just lift it up to get started, right?"

When it came to provocative talk, Li Qing really could not outdo Xu Keqing.

Worried she might actually do it, he immediately said with a serious tone, "I give up, no more jokes. I might have some time this afternoon; I still have to make a trip to town now."

Xu Keqing giggled, "Don’t have the guts? I’ve already taken my pants off; I’m all bare right now!"

Li Qing: ...

"Then you better put them on for now, and take them off when I get there this afternoon."

With people bustling around him, Li Qing covered the phone with both hands to speak.

Xu Keqing, with her incessant provocative talk, managed in just a few words to get Li Qing boiling with eagerness, making him want to rush to the hospital right away and thoroughly deal with her.

"By the way, I have serious business to discuss with you. I just ran into Mrs. Lu," Li Qing said seriously, "Is there any progress on the plan you mentioned before? I need to be prepared."

Her words were a bit vague, she only said to let her know ahead of time when you’re coming; there hasn’t been a clear statement," Xu Keqing also became serious, "No wonder she just called me saying she couldn’t come now and would come in the afternoon instead; turns out she ran into you!"

Li Qing was stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Lu had actually changed her plans and already called Xu Keqing.

"When will you come over in the afternoon?" Xu Keqing asked.

"Around four o’clock," Li Qing said.

"Alright, I’ll talk to her face-to-face this afternoon," Xu Keqing said, "Although she hasn’t been very explicit, I feel like she’s probably interested. If she’s there, I’ll give you a sign in advance, so don’t give it away."
