Chapter 1070: Pity

Shanhu’s grandma was older than him.

Normally, he would not have said something to her, but what happened today was so terrible that the Village Chief had to speak about this. Lady Chaoyan was a savior for the Li Village. She saved seven people from their village, more than seven! Many other injured people were not taken to the clinic, but Lady Chaoyan gave a lot of medicinal cream to them when she came to the Li Village.

Lady Chaoyan had done a great deal for their village, yet Shanhu’s grandma even said those nasty words to her earlier even though Lady Chaoyan did not owe them anything.

“Shanhu’s grandma, I respected you as one of the elderly women in our village, so I brought you here because of that. However, you just insulted Lady Chaoyan like this and I can not allow this to happen,” the Village Chief said seriously.

However, Shanhu’s grandma was not convinced.

It was just a medical check-up. How could it be so serious?

That was what Shanhu’s grandma said inside her heart, but she did not say it aloud. She and Shanhu needed to stay at Li Village in the future, so she would not oppose him now.

So she nodded timidly.

The other aunts did not want to get involved, so they let out a sigh of relief. They thought that Lady Chaoyan was a nice person.

Their food was worth nothing, but it was enough to pay back their debt! She was definitely a nice person, so the aunts did not defend Shanhu’s grandma.

After the Village Chief’s speech was done the whole incident pa.s.sed and they headed back to the Li Village.

When they were back at Li Village…

The Village Chief was going to inform everyone of what was happening.

Shanhu’s grandma returned to her own home with Shen Tai. She thought that Shen Tai was still better than no one.

Shanhu, who was in the room, heard the sound of footsteps and got slightly happy.

He had just looked out when his grandma came in with Shen Tai.

Shanhu looked behind the gang and saw no trace of Lady Chaoyan, so he looked disappointed.

Shanhu’s grandma said, “Lady Chaoyan has arranged for Shen Tai to check you up.”

She was thinking that even though Shanhu did not make it back to the capital, when Shanhu got better, he could go to Lady Chaoyan personally again. Anyway, there was always an opportunity, so she was not too sad about this.

Shanhu had a very bad expression on his face. He did not want to receive Shen Tai.

Shen Tai checked on him and saw that it was just the old wound that was ripped, which only required some medicine. He thought that Elder Miss should not only be able to check patients, but even tell the future. Elder Miss could even predict what wound Shanhu had.

He put on the medicine for Shanhu, smiling in admiration.

Shen Tai left when the cream was put on.

When Shen Tai left, the Village Chief had just pa.s.sed by Shanhu’s home.

He did not go in. He only stared at Shanhu’s home.

He had thought that a capable person like Shanhu might be interesting for the court, yet Shanhu’s grandma turned down Prime Minister Chu’s proposal.

What a pity.

The Village Chief sighed, then he headed towards his own home.

***

At Xinlin Mansion.

Zhou Huaijin followed Gu Chaoyan to Xinlin Clinic and returned with her, but Gu Chaoyan was still ignoring him.

However, even in this way, Zhou Huaijin was still tagging along with Gu Chaoyan and following her wherever she was.

Then they came to the room.
