Chapter 551: The Prodigal Son in the Countryside

Widow Li blushing vividly: "I understand now. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back. Oh, Lin Fan, please don’t tell anyone about my illness."

Lin Fan smiled and said: "Don’t worry, keeping patient secrets is our duty as doctors."

Finally, Widow Li felt a little relieved.

Thus, Lin Fan and Widow Li left the examination room and went outside.

Liu Zixing was outside organizing some things. When she looked up and saw Lin Fan leading Widow Li out, Widow Li’s face was still blushing, appearing very embarrassed.

Seeing Liu Zixing, Widow Li felt quite awkward and dared not make eye contact with her. If Liu Zixing found out about the matter earlier, it would be so embarrassing. Fortunately, Lin Fan had promised to keep it confidential.

"Lin Fan, how much for the fee earlier?" Widow Li asked.

Lin Fan waved his hand smilingly: "It’s nothing, no charge this time. No need for formality between us."

Liu Zixing was nearby, so Widow Li couldn’t say much, only uttering: "Thanks then, I’ll go first."

After speaking, Widow Li went out the door.

Liu Zixing gossiply asked: "Lin Fan, what illness does Widow have? Couldn’t be..."

Liu Zixing chuckled, having heard some women in the village say that Widow Li seemingly didn’t have a very prudent lifestyle.

Lin Fan said: "It’s nothing serious, just some stomach discomfort."

He had promised to keep Widow Li’s secret, naturally couldn’t tell Liu Zixing.

Liu Zixing felt somewhat disappointed, turned out to be stomach discomfort, she thought there was some explosive gossip.

"Lin Fan, why didn’t you charge Widow Li?" Liu Zixing asked.

Lin Fan laughed: "In terms of hierarchy, she’s my sister-in-law, and she’s a widow, so once or twice is fine."

"Oh."

Liu Zixing said, "By the way, Lin Fan, let me tell you something. When you were examining Widow Li, my dad called from home saying he encountered a rather troublesome patient and might stay a few days. He was worried there’d be no one at the clinic. I told him about you, he was delighted and wants to invite you to help at the clinic for a few days, would it be okay?"

Lin Fan pondered for a moment and answered cheerfully: "Alright, but I don’t know when I’ll leave, hope Elder Liu returns before I go."

Liu Zixing felt delighted, thinking in the upcoming days, Lin Fan would be here every day, she was mysteriously happy.

"However," Liu Zixing said, "we must talk about the clinic’s rules, opening a clinic isn’t charity work, it’s about making money, so let’s avoid free services in future."

Lin Fan uttered an acknowledgement. He understood Liu Zixing. Old Liu relied on the clinic to raise her and support her education. Although such rural clinic hardly earns much monthly, for Lin Fan now it’s not a big deal, yet it’s their father and daughter’s income source.

Lin Fan said: "Okay, I got it. It’s my first day back in the village and I haven’t returned home yet. No patients now, so I’ll head home first. Call me if you need anything."

Liu Zixing said: "Alright, let me add you on WeChat."

The two exchanged contacts and added on WeChat, then Lin Fan left the clinic intending to head home first.

By now it was somewhat dim, while walking, Lin Fan suddenly stopped, looking up towards the side village path.

Lin Fan recognized it. This path leads outside towards the village’s elementary school.

On one side of the village path, in front of a dilapidated house, there was a pair of man and woman, the man blocking the woman’s path.

The man in his twenties dressed quite fashionably, looking flashy, the woman wearing a shirt, holding a few books in arms, slim figure, very pretty face.

Amazingly, Lin Fan recognized both of them.

The man’s name is Chen Junjie, son of Chen Datou, village head of West River Village. This guy hasn’t behaved since young, relying on being the village head’s son to cause trouble everywhere. With a somewhat handsome appearance, he’s harmed several females; could rightfully be called a total scumbag.

It was said that in middle school he got a girl pregnant and forced her to abort, almost ruining that girl, leading to the school expelling him. Later on, he returned to the village, idly lounging every day, possessing none of a rich second generation’s life, yet having all their ailments, truly a rural wastrel.

Lin Fan had a quite poor impression of him, luckily had never interacted with this guy.

The woman was astonishingly Chu Yue’er!

"Yue’er, agree with me, tonight I’ll take you to the county for fun, you can buy anything you want. Heard there’s a blockbuster released recently, I’ll accompany you to watch." Chen Junjie smirked.

Chu Yue’er furrowed her brows, looking quite annoyed: "Mr. Chen, I’ve explicitly told you before, I can never be your girlfriend. I hope you stop bothering me!"

While talking, Chu Yue’er tried to leave.

Chen Junjie reached out and leaned against the wall, blocking Chu Yue’er, saying with a grin: "Don’t be so quick to refuse me. What’s wrong being my girlfriend? My dad is the village head, how could he treat you unfairly? Follow me, live the high life!"

Chen Junjie wore a proud face, posing like a president’s son though merely a small village head’s son.

Chu Yue’er sneered: "Sorry, you’ve misunderstood me. I don’t care what you can offer me, nor can you give what I desire. I simply dislike you, understand? Please step aside!"

Chen Junjie’s anger flared hearing that, this chick was quite stubborn, never had anyone rejected him so.

"Even my dad wouldn’t dare speak like that. What can a chick like you do? Daring to refuse me, do you still want to stay in this village?"

Chen Junjie sneered arrogantly.

Chu Yue’er retorted angrily: "I’m teaching here righteously, what can the village head do to me? Seems like you’re lacking home education, blame your dad for failing at parenting, go ask the village head how to teach you to be a person!"

Chen Junjie chuckled: "You’re a teacher, perfect, you can teach me."

Saying so, Chen Junjie reached out attempting to touch Chu Yue’er’s chin.

Chu Yue’er dodged quickly, angrily saying: "Show some respect. You’re scum; I can’t teach you, nor interested. Move aside!"

Chen Junjie shamelessly refused: "I won’t move, see what you can do. There’s no one to help you, no one dares, acceptant or you’ll have to tonight!"

Chu Yue’er, inflamed, asked: "What are you planning, scum? Aren’t you afraid of jail?"

Chen Junjie laughed: "Exactly, I’m going to force you. Someone told me once you’ve been forced, you’ll behave. Be my woman, you’ll naturally behave. Moreover, getting you, even spending years in jail, isn’t a loss."

Chen Junjie, appallingly audacious, appeared ready to take the plunge.

"Someone help, save me!" Chu Yue’er, desperately panicking, shouted out loud, fearing she’d be no match for Chen Junjie, unprepared for his hands-on approach.

Chen Junjie chuckled: "Shout all you want, no one will save you. Let’s see who’s got the guts to meddle in my affairs?"

Saying so, Chen Junjie prepared to act.

"Yue’er, what’s happening here?"

Lin Fan stepped in, purposefully asking loudly.
