”You don't look happy at all.” On the way back, Xia Li took the initiative to hold Sun Chun's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and asked playfully.
”Watching other men blatantly provoking you, no matter which man in hubby they are in, they won't tolerate it.” Sun Chun said as he stopped and turned to hug Xia Li.
”Promise me that in the future, you'll only have me in your heart. Don't even think about other men.”
”Then marry me.” When Xia Li said this, his heart was beating like a drum, his palms sweating nervously.
”I will.” Sun Chun seemed to be thinking about something, but he quickly responded to Xia Li.
Hearing that, a huge boulder in Xia Li's heart slowly fell to the ground, the other question in his mind also surfaced, ”Recently when you go out every few days, what are you doing in secret?”
”It has to do with my clan's business. This time, I lost my Red River Town because there are still many things that I have yet to finish.” A complex expression flashed across Sun Chun's eyes as he consoled Xia Li, ”After I finish my work, I'll explain everything to you clearly, okay?”
”Up to you. I still have to busy myself with matters of hospital anyway, so I don't have the time to keep an eye on you everyday anyway.” Xia Li was a little bored, so he did not beat around the bush on this topic anymore.
Sun Chun once again left Xia Li to busy himself with other things. Xia Li returned to the hospital alone.
was curious, so he went to the backyard, where Lee's was washing clothes by the well. Seeing Xia Li coming over, she quietly measured his body, as if trying to avoid her.
Xia Li was suspicious in his heart, he went closer to the Lee's and took the initiative to hold her hand, ”Mother, let me help you wash these clothes.”
”How, how can this be!” As if struck by lightning, Lee's struggled free from Xia Li and stood up, revealing the swollen bruises on his face.
”Mom, what's going on with you!” Xia Li lightly touched Lee's's face, causing her to take another step back to avoid the pain.
She mumbled, ”No...” ”It's nothing, I just accidentally touched it.”
”Where's Xia Manjiang? Where is he?” As Xia Li said this, he was about to go find someone in Lee's's room, but Lee's blocked his path.
”He's not in the house. He said he went to meet his friends at the pub.” Lee's was nervous for a moment, and immediately lowered his head after he finished speaking.
”Mom, where did he get the money to go to a tavern? All he sees are his bad friends!” Xia Li was so angry that his liver hurt. It had only been a few days, but that man had already revealed his true nature.
”He only beat me up when I was drunk. He treats me pretty well.” Lee's explained carefully.
”Mother!” Xia Manjiang already beat him up, and you still want to defend him? Even now, you are still protecting him! ” Xia Li's voice rose to a crescendo, scaring Lee's out of his wits and he squatted on the ground.
”It's mother's fault, don't be angry.” When the Lee's became nervous, he returned to the side of the washbasin and rubbed his clothes with all his might.
”Mother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken to you so loudly.” Xia Li calmed Sun Chun down, went to the hospital, took out the medicine, applied it on the Lee's and supported her back to her room to rest.
When the sun was about to set, Xia Manjiang dragged his tipsy body back to the hospital and lied down in front of them to play with them. After scaring away all the customers and smashing the teacups served by the guests in the hospital, he was so excited that he was about to hit attending doctor Bai Ying with the teapot.
When Xia Li arrived at the hospital Hall, he saw such a chaotic scene.
Even though Day Rui and Day Bao were furious, but because Xia Manjiang was Xia Li's father, Bai Ying did not dare to do anything to him. Furthermore, there were Lee's standing at the side watching them.
Xia Li's expression was calm, the anger in her eyes dimmed, and she shouted.
”Day Rui, the two of you go find a thick rope to tie up this drunkard who was lying on the ground and hang him on a tree in the backyard. Without my permission, no one is allowed to put him down.”
”Yes, Manager!”
Day Rui agreed and started running to find the rope.
”Shopkeeper, I have knockout drugs here. Drink them down for him. I can't let him cause any trouble.” Day Bao said as he took out a white paper package from the counter.
”Go and drink a small cup of wine for him. Let him fall asleep for a short while.” Xia Li replied.
”Alright, shopkeeper.” Day Bao said, he ran to the table that was used to entertain the patients, found a tea bowl, tore open the white paper bag, poured some knockout medicine, held the teapot and poured half a cup, then walked to Xia Manjiang.
”What are you guys doing? Get out of the way!” Although Xia Manjiang was drunk, he still had a strong sense of self-preservation. Lying on the ground, he kicked and kicked wildly, causing others to be unable to approach him.
”Shopkeeper, you must hold him down before I can pour the knockout drug into him.” Day Bao said with difficulty.
”Then this old man should come over and help too! ”Shopkeeper, I will hold him together with you!” Bai Ying was also probably angry, so he called for help.
