"Liu Kerong, don't push your luck!"

"They went to buy grain. That's what she told Rulan and Wenjing when she left. You can ask them if you don't believe me."

Mother couldn't hold back any longer. Liu Kerong's voice was so loud, it sounded like she was interrogating a county magistrate in court, her manner aggressive and intimidating.

“I don’t believe a word you say, and the villagers won’t be so foolish as to believe you either. Your family’s fine wine has run off with that At.

"If your family really wants things to be alright, you'd better hand over the grain as soon as possible to my son Deren and the village chief for safekeeping. My son Deren might spare your family's life out of consideration for our past as classmates."

Seeing her mother getting anxious, Liu Kerong became even more aggressive, putting her hands on her hips and pressing her chest directly against her mother's body, looking like she was about to devour her.

"You're the one who ran away with someone! You're the one who ran away with someone! Your whole family ran away with someone!"

My mother used to be too good-natured and had never argued with a shrew. But now that she was arguing, her head was spinning and she couldn't hear anything except Liu Kerong's insults towards her daughter.

Liu Kerong was formidable, so her mother went all out, pushing her with all her might, sending Liu Kerong flying and slid a long way to the ground.

Liu Kerong had never seen her mother like this before, and she felt that her mother could not do such a thing. She sat on the ground for a long time, looking at her mother with her mouth open, almost unable to believe it.

"Oh my god, this is terrible! I'm bleeding!"

Once she had recovered, Liu Kerong sat on the ground shouting and yelling, as if she were about to throw a tantrum.

“This matter is not over yet. Your family has to compensate me. Fifteen taels of silver is not enough. Now we have to add all the grain and all your carriages.”

"If you're short even a penny, I'll never forgive your family."

Liu Kerong got up from the ground and rushed like a madwoman to the carriage where the wine and grain were stored.

"This is outrageous! Why should I give you my family's grain?"

With red eyes, her mother reached out to grab Liu Kerong, but she was too slow and Liu Kerong escaped.

Suddenly, with a "thud," just as the mother was filled with remorse, she heard a loud thud as flesh hit the ground.

The mother turned her head and saw Old Li slowly retracting his foot, muttering, "Ouch, you've stomped on me! You're really ruthless!"

Mother couldn't help but smile. Old Li was the only one who could stop such a wicked person.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..." Liu Kerong, her mouth full of dust, got up from the ground and hurriedly spat out the filth in her mouth. She was covered in dust and looked terrible.

"You old geezer, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Liu Kerong raised both arms, her eyes blazing with fury as she hurled insults.

"Look at you, wife, how can you start slandering people like that? It's one thing to slander me, but you even slandered their fine wine just now."

They might not bother with you, but I won't let you off easily.

You've ruined my feet! You have to pay for them! Three hundred taels, give it to me!

Old Li plopped down on the front of the cart, looking like he was in excruciating pain, gently blowing on the tips of his shoes, and asking for much more than Liu Kerong.

"What? Three hundred taels? Why don't you just rob someone?"

From anger to shock, Liu Kerong almost jumped up.

"Oh ho, so you know about robbery? Well, stealing grain from a tavern is robbery, isn't it? Why should your family be responsible for storing their grain?"

Old Li looked at Liu Kerong with a smile, not as angry as she was, but rather as if he were teasing a cat.

“The grain in her house is for the villagers, not for my family. We are just holding it in trust. How can this be called robbery?”

You're an outsider, so mind your own business. Otherwise, you'll regret it.

Liu Kerong didn't take Lao Li seriously and was very disgusted by his meddlesome behavior, so she naturally didn't have any nice words for him.

"Outsiders?" Old Li snorted and pointed at the Zhizheng and At people patrolling in the distance, saying calmly, "They are outsiders too. Are you going to make them suffer as well?"

The guards were all strong and skilled in martial arts; even if Liu Kerong had eight lives, she wouldn't dare offend them.

Her request for food from Wenmei Restaurant was simply to control the guards. In this day and age, you can't survive without food; no matter how powerful you are, you still need to eat.

In her view, the reason those people listened to Wen Meijiu was simply because they were beholden to her and felt obligated to her. If she had food, she would have done the same.

“You’re different from them; you’re not part of the guard.”

Liu Kerong was able to distinguish between what was important and what was not, and knew to look at Old Li and the guards separately.

"But they listen to me."

Old Li suddenly turned serious, stood up solemnly, waved to Zhizheng in the distance, and shouted:

"Come here, vying for the position of instructor."

Zhizheng had already noticed that his young master was missing and was thinking of asking Old Li about it. Before he could find an opportunity, he heard Old Li calling him and ran over.

"Dr. Li, what can I do for you?"

According to the original script, he was still not very familiar with Lao Li, so he naturally followed Wen Meijiu's lead in calling Lao Li that.

"You..." Old Li had barely begun to speak when he realized he had spoken impulsively.

His direct order to stop the dispute was something the dispute would naturally accept, but it could easily raise suspicions about their relationship and expose the identity of the young master Wang.

As Old Li hesitated, Liu Kerong burst into smug laughter.

She laughed at Old Li for being too arrogant, thinking who he was, and that these guards wouldn't just take orders from anyone.

"Speak up, Dr. Li, what do you want to do? Talk to Coach Zheng about it."

When she said that, some of the villagers who were watching disapproved of Liu Kerong, and others disagreed with Wen Meijiu. They all wanted to take this opportunity to prove that their ideas were correct, so they started to stir things up.

"Dr. Li, just tell me."

"That's right, say it!"

"Tell her, show her."

Everyone chimed in, putting Old Li in a very difficult position.

Old Li's eyes darted around, he raised his wide sleeves, and his voice reached an octave.

"Strive to be the coach, stretch out your hand."

Without understanding the situation, he did as instructed.

Old Li then placed his finger on Zhizheng's pulse and squinted.

The villagers who were watching looked at each other, wondering what he was trying to keep in suspense.

After a while, Old Li opened his eyes and said meaningfully to Zhizheng:

"You've been on patrol for a long time, which is extremely tiring and has taken a toll on your health. You must pay attention to your diet to avoid getting a sore throat."

Zhi Zheng stared into Lao Li's eyes for a long time, but couldn't figure out the hidden meaning at all, so he could only nod in bewilderment.

"Also, your brothers are probably in the same situation. Please take good care of them. Go ahead."

Seeing that Zhizheng was not leaving, he added another sentence, then sat up straight, looking very serious.

Not understanding the situation, Zhizheng had no choice but to stop, get up, thank Old Li, and leave.

"That's it?"

Liu Kerong laughed so hard she almost fell over, pointing at Lao Li and giggling endlessly.

Everyone knows that Old Li is a veterinarian, and anyone can pretend to treat patients.
