Chapter 246 Saving the Wife - Troubled Times
Du Lian and Zhou Leng's married life is very sweet.
In fact, a good relationship requires two people to work together.
Dear viewers, please do not learn from those people in the storybooks who think that they can attract a domineering president or a gentle boy to be considerate and obedient to them just because they are kind, innocent and clumsy.
There are thousands of lovely girls, but how many of them are kind and innocent? Many of them meet scumbags, but few of them meet domineering bosses.
Half a month later, Zhou Leng's small clinic was open.
There were only three words written on the wooden board hanging on the door: Small Clinic.
Because this clinic was really small and didn't even have its own pharmacy, it was only responsible for seeing patients and writing prescriptions. If the patient needed to take more decoctions or get more medicine, Doctor Zhou thought of pushing the patient to the herbal pharmacy run by the Du family.
When you enter from the main entrance, you can see the counter first. On the wooden cabinet behind the counter are the finished pills Zhou Leng made in his spare time. Two apprentices are at the front desk, one is responsible for accounting, and the other is responsible for reception. They take turns doing this every half month.
Half a meter in front of the counter, turn right and you will find Zhou Leng's clinic, which has a wooden bed, a wooden table, and a row of wooden shelves with various tools on them. It is a small but complete clinic.
After the clinic opened quietly, there were no patients visiting for several days, but Zhou Leng was not in a hurry. He just wanted to live a stable life, and he still had savings.
Two months passed quickly, and as time went by, people from nearby areas would also come here to treat minor illnesses.
Because the small clinic charged fair fees and seldom prescribed medicine, most people just bought a few pills and the disease was cured, so the small clinic gradually gained more people, but the money it earned was barely enough to make ends meet.
One day at noon, Zhou Leng went back to the kitchen in the backyard and cooked meals and snacks by himself. He had nothing to do and suddenly felt like going out for a walk and bringing some food to Du Lian.
Zhou Leng usually wears a veil when he goes out. He is cautious and afraid of getting into trouble. When he arrived at Du Lian's shop, the man's forehead was already slightly sweaty.
Du Lian, who was usually busy in the store, was no longer there. A waiter came forward and said:
"Doctor Zhou, what a coincidence! The shopkeeper has been called away by the master. Why don't you go to the second floor and rest for a while?"
Zhou Leng nodded slightly and went up the stairs to the second floor.
Quarter of an hour later, Du Lian returned. When she heard the waiter say that Doctor Zhou had arrived, she hurried straight to the second floor.
Because of the limited space on the second floor and the many goods piled up, the two of them sat at a cramped table, and Zhou Leng opened the lunch box.
Du Lian said distressedly:
"Although I am happy, I don't want to trouble you. I said I would buy a servant for my family, but you don't want to be disturbed. I really can't do anything about you. Don't go to the kitchen again in the future. Your skin is too delicate to work. Let me see your hands."
Zhou Leng stretched out his hand and watched the other party check it. He said coquettishly:
"Try what I cooked. You usually cook for me, but today I will cook for you."
Seeing that the man's hands were not injured by burning firewood, Du Lian took the cake and ate it, then nodded and said:
"It's soft and delicious. Xiao Leng is really good at cooking. He can do anything well."
The two of them finished their meal in a loving atmosphere.
Du Lian put down the box and then said:
"The master wants me to go today. I may have to go north with the caravan. I have received news that the Central Plains is in chaos! The court and the people of the martial arts world led by Meiwan Villa have had several clashes. I think within a month, the first people who have fled will arrive in Yizhou."
Zhou Leng looked up at the other party and said:
"You're still going on a caravan during this chaos?"
Du Lian explained in a low voice: "One is to get information, and the other is to save someone. That person is someone we planted in Nanzhou. Now she can't get away because of the chaos."
Zhou Leng reached out and held the other person's hand. He frowned and reached out to touch the other person's wrist. After a while, he said:
"I think you should talk to the master about this matter and send someone else. If you don't go, then I will go. You know you are pregnant. Although you have a good physique, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep every day if you go. Maybe I will die sadly when you come back."
Du Lian's brain short-circuited, but the other party's sad death made her hold the man's hand tightly.
Most of the women here do not have any problems with work when they are pregnant, so Du Lian still cares about her husband, and she is more concerned about his health.
Du Lian actually felt the alienation of her master's family after her marriage, so she didn't want to refuse this mission, but now she can only go to the mansion to beg for mercy.
Zhou Leng looked at the other party in deep thought, and he said directly:
"If you feel that it is inappropriate, then go north. I will go with you. I don't want to be separated from you. Even if it means suffering, breaking my muscles and bones, and increasing my injuries, I will always keep an eye on you and check on your situation. If you are in trouble, I will not live in vain."
Du Lian saw her husband crying as he spoke, and then he started talking about life and death. She quickly comforted him:
"Okay, I'll report back now."
Zhou Leng held the other person's hand and said, "I will go with you. No matter you or I, we have always had a clear conscience towards our master."
This was the first time that Du Lian sat in the carriage while Zhou Leng sat outside driving.
Because she had to drive the carriage, the covering on the veil had to be slightly lifted. Some acquaintances saw the beauty driving the carriage, and thinking of the people sitting in the carriage, they all spat in disgust.
Du Lian closed her eyes in the carriage and prayed that it would arrive quickly. Since she couldn't persuade her husband, she had to sit quietly.
The two men arrived at the front door of the Du family mansion, tied up their horses and entered the yard.
The servant led the two men to the reception room and waited for a long time.
Du Sheng walked in from outside with a handsome young man.
Du Lian and Zhou Leng quickly stood up and saluted.
Du Sheng sat in the main seat and the man stood behind him.
Du Lian clasped his fists and bowed again before saying:
"I'm afraid I can't go to do what the master asked me to do today. Please ask the master to ask someone else to go. This time Du Lian responded hastily and refused. Please punish him."
Du Sheng glanced at the two people standing there, and she joked:
"Oh, you clearly agreed, why do you say you have something to do when you see your husband? As a woman, you should be brave. I see that you have lost all your femininity after getting married. Are you going to just stay with your husband in the backyard in the future?"
Zhou Lengwei lowered his head and said nothing. In the past, he was a martial arts master and a guest, a cousin, so he was very impolite. Now he is Du Lian's husband, so he has to be more low-key.
Du Lian clasped his fists and said:
"I would also like to thank the master for his help. All I want is to live with my husband in the backyard. I refused today because the master said that everything must be done perfectly. But I am pregnant, so I am afraid I cannot plan this trip with all my heart. My husband is weak, and he will be hurt if I am away because he is too worried. Doctor Zhou is a hero of the time, a strong man who no one can match. Now I am fearless, but I am only afraid that he will get hurt in the slightest."
Du Sheng looked at the two of them with a complicated expression. It was like the wife was following the husband's lead. After a while, she said:
"Since you say so, I will find someone to take over your affairs in the future and fulfill your wish. If so, your shop will also be taken over by a new person. After all, you will still have to rely on the name of this shop to do business in the future. I will give you money. In the future...in the future, you can live your lives in peace. You have all seen what you and your wife have done."
The two bowed and thanked him.
