Lin Fan said honestly, "No, I rented it in the county town for convenience to bring Third Uncle back."
So it was rented!
Instantly, the villagers all started laughing, their laughter tinged with a hint of disdain.
This kid Lin Fan really has no prospects, a car so ordinary, yet it was rented, not bought.
This shows Lin Fan couldnât even afford such a small car!
"I thought he bought a car, was just about to praise him, but turns out it was rented!"
"Canât even afford a small car, and heâs a college student, what a waste of an education!"
"It was a waste from the start, what kind of college student goes to deliver takeaways, truly no prospects!"
"Still, Xiaohai is the one with prospects, Lin Fan canât compare to him."
The villagers snickered to themselves, seeing Lin Fan as unpromising made them feel assured.
These idle men and women in the village loved to gather and gossip about others in their free time.
Lin Fan couldnât be bothered to respond, if he really wanted to show off, these peopleâs jaws would drop in shock, but he felt it was unnecessary for now.
Back in the village, Lin Fan planned to stay a couple more days, and head back to Yun City once Lin Daweiâs health completely improved.
During the following two days, Lin Fan was in the village, spending time at the small clinic when he had nothing else to do.
The medicinal herbs he purchased in the city also arrived, and as previously agreed, Lin Fan helped cure Chen Zhonghouâs leg ailment.
The entire village knew about Chen Zhonghouâs condition. After getting injured, he had surgery in the county town, but there was no improvement and it even worsened, with the risk of amputation.
Lin Fan cured Chen Zhonghouâs leg, and this surprised all the villagers, making them aware of Lin Fanâs medical skills.
If saving Chen Huzi before was considered luck, then curing Chen Zhonghouâs leg canât be called luck anymore!
How could there be so much luck?
This indicates that Lin Fan actually knows medical skills, and heâs quite good at it!
Lin Fan, working as a deliveryman in the city, made almost no money, even the small car was rented, leading the villagers to mock him for lacking prospects, but when it came to medical skills, there was no room for ridicule, everyoneâs bodies were honest about it.
Once they confirmed that Lin Fan truly had good medical skills, they all flocked to him for treatment, regardless of whether they were sick or not, just for peace of mind.
Suddenly, the small clinicâs business was booming.
Liu Zixing was the happiest, as this small clinic was her and Old Liuâs source of income, with better business, the income greatly increased compared to before.
She really hoped Lin Fan could stay in the village forever, not only for the increase in income, but also because she felt particularly safe with him around.
However, her happiness didnât last long before trouble came knocking.
One day, the village chiefâs son, Chen Junjie, was carried to the small clinic on a stretcher, having been beaten so badly his leg was broken.
The village chief even personally came.
The village chief was an old man with a crew cut, looking like someone not to mess with.
"Lin Fan, I heard your medical skills are quite good, you even cured Chen Zhonghouâs leg, can you help my son too? There will be a generous reward if you do!" the village chief said straightforwardly.
Lin Fan glanced at Chen Junjie on the stretcher, clearly, he got into a fight with someone, bearing bruises and a leg broken by an iron rod.
This playboy ending up like this was no surprise, perfectly normal.
"How did he get injured?" Lin Fan asked.
The village chief glared and said, "You donât need to know how he got injured. Youâre a doctor, just cure him, thatâs it, no need to ask about anything else!"
Lin Fan felt a bit displeased with such an attitude from the village chief. He somewhat understood that Chen Junjieâs behavior had something to do with the way he was raised, a bad habit encouraged by his father.
"To treat an illness, itâs important to find out the cause. If I donât know how he got injured, I canât make a correct diagnosis, so itâd be best to explain everything without hiding anything so I can diagnose properly. If youâre unwilling to say, sorry, I canât treat him," Lin Fan said.
The village chief was somewhat annoyed, this kid Lin Fan actually had quite a temper.
"If not for your decent medical skills, and the way youâre speaking to me right now, youâd have gotten a slap long ago. Fine, Iâll tell you: he was beaten up, isnât that clear enough?" the village chief said.
Lin Fan said, "Why was he beaten?"
The village chief said, "This kind of thing... damn it, you brat, speak it yourself!"
At this moment, Chen Junjie was howling in pain. He remembered the time Lin Fan taught him a lesson, and he really didnât want to meet Lin Fan, but now he needed his help and just wanted to get treated quickly.
"I..." Chen Junjie said, "I took a liking to a girl from the neighboring village and tried to hit on her, but ended up getting beaten by her family. Thatâs the whole story, Lin Fan, please treat me quickly, Iâm in so much pain."
Lin Fan chuckled, "All you did was try to hit on the girl, and her father beat you up like this?"
Chen Junjie said, "Iâm telling the truth, Lin Fan, are you going to keep nagging? Iâm freaking dying of pain, hurry up and treat me!"
The village chief said, "Lin Fan, the fact is he was beaten with an iron rod. As for why he was beaten, even if I donât know medicine, I know it has nothing to do with treatment, you donât need to know everything so clearly, just treat him quickly, I actually want to see how good you really are!"
Lin Fan said flatly, "Sorry, if you wonât cooperate with my questions, I canât treat him, you can find someone else instead."
The village chief yelled, "Lin Fan, what kind of attitude is this? Iâm the village chief, Iâm asking you to treat him, are you trying to go against me?"
Lin Fan smiled, "Village chief, I respect you as an elder and your position, but please respect me as a doctor as well. If youâre not willing to cooperate with my work, I naturally canât provide medical services for you."
The village chief was a bit frustrated, as they truly needed Lin Fan now. They couldnât just hold Lin Fanâs hand and make him treat Chen Junjie.
"Lin Fan, donât think I donât know. Youâre not a medical graduate and donât even have a practitionerâs license, so youâre technically not allowed to practice here. If I, as the village chief, were to uphold justice, Iâd shut down this clinic, and youâd have nothing to say!" the village chief sneered.
A threat!
Liu Zixing, standing to the side, was angry to hear the village chief threaten to shut down their clinic.
"Village chief, you canât do that. Lin Fanâs medical skills are genuinely good, itâs obvious to all. Even if he doesnât have a license, heâs no fraud, at most he just needs to get certified. Shutting down the clinic is unreasonable!" Liu Zixing said angrily.
The village chief sneered, "Simply put, if he doesnât treat my son, he shouldnât think of practicing here anymore!"
Lin Fan shrugged and chuckled, "Thatâs just great, anyway, I was planning to leave in these two days. Village chief, you say Iâm not qualified to practice, well, Iâm officially closing shop then, is that okay? Why would you still want me to treat your son? Sorry, Iâm closing shop."
"You!" the village chief was fuming.
He, the dignified village chief, couldnât handle this kid Lin Fan.
"Ah, Dad, Iâm dying from the pain!" Chen Junjie howled in agony at this moment, clearly really in pain.
The village chief had no choice, they truly needed Lin Fan now, and threatening him hadnât worked, so he had to confess to Lin Fan.
"Fine, fine, Iâll speak. This brat got beaten because he tried to assault that girl and got caught by her family..."
