Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

"If you had stood with me and confronted them just now, who would help me watch over this basket of fish?" Lu Ke'er patted her back gently and winked at her.

In the chaotic scene just now, if no one was watching over the fish, those black-hearted people would definitely take advantage of the situation and take all the fish away, leaving not a single one behind.

When Dong Ling thought of this, she finally felt a little better.

Lei Zheng looked at Lu Ke'er intently.

He had some understanding of the girl from the Lu family. Every time he saw her before, she would lower her head, timid and cowardly like a little mouse hiding in a hole. If someone spoke loudly to her, she would tremble all over like a frightened little rabbit. Except for the two children from Lei Qi's family, few people in the village played with her.

However, the girl in front of him was calm and had clear eyes. She stood there like a green bamboo that would rather break than bend. How could she be the same as before? If it weren't for the fact that her face still looked the same as before, he would have thought she was a different person.

"Well, Ke'er, you are very brave today." Lei Zheng praised sincerely.

Lu Ke'er smiled faintly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh. Ke'er is also forced by the situation. If I don't act tough and deter, even if my Lu family can escape today, I'm afraid that everyone will be able to step on my head in the future! If people don't respect themselves, they will be insulted; if they don't strengthen themselves, they will be humiliated!"

"Well said!" The head of the village praised and said to Ji, "In our Lingxia Village, you and Tianning are both literate and have good morals and reason. The children you have raised are extraordinary and can stand up at the critical moment."

Ji's face turned red: "Uncle Lizheng, you...you are too kind."

"Ke'er might have done it." Dong Ling pointed at the basket of fish at her feet and said to the head of the village, "Ke'er managed to catch all these fish."

When Ji saw the basket of fish, her eyes widened in surprise.

Lu Mingxi tightly grasped Lu Keer's sleeve, licked his dry lips, and said expectantly: "Sister, I want to eat fish."

"I'll make it for you tonight." Lu Ke'er rubbed the little kid's head, picked out two ten-jin-weight big black carps, and handed them to Lei Zheng, "Grandpa Lizheng, take two fish back to try later."

"This...how can I feel embarrassed?" Lei Zheng was very happy that Lu Ke'er was sensible. He tried to refuse it a few times, but finally accepted it under Lu Ke'er's insistence.

"Okay, then grandpa will accept it. If you have any problem, just come to grandpa!" Holding the fish, Lei Zheng asked Ji to convey his greetings to Lu Tianning, and then left happily.

Lu Ke'er poured out half of the fish in the basket and wanted to give it to Lei Qi, but Lei Qi refused to take it.

"Uncle Lei Qi, this was caught by Dong Ling and I together. It's only natural that you take half." Lu Ke'er advised.

"You can't count it that way." Dong Ling stuffed the fish back into the basket, leaving only two fish, and said, "You came up with the idea. Without you, I wouldn't have caught any fish. If you feel bad about it, I'll take two."

Lu Ke'er thought about it and did not insist, but she picked out two more big fish from the basket and said to Dong Ling, "Two is too few, add two more. By the way, I'm going to the town to sell fish tomorrow, do you want to take anything with you?"

I had a fish in hand, so I could use it as an excuse. I had a ready-made excuse to go to town, so I just used it.

Lu Ke'er thought to herself, fortunately, she caught a lot of fish today, otherwise, it would be hard to find a suitable reason to go to town. This way, she could conceal her tracks and prevent some people with bad intentions from coveting the Lu family.

"Wow, you're going to town tomorrow?" Dong Ling shouted excitedly, happier than if she were going alone. "Ke'er, let me tell you, town is so much fun! There are so many shops and so many people, it's so lively! Ke'er, who are you going with?"

"I'll go by myself. I'll take Old Ginger's ox cart."

"How can you do it alone?" Dong Ling widened her almond-shaped eyes, very worried, "You are not familiar with the town, what if you get lost? No, no, or... I will go with you."

She turned to Lei Qi and begged him to accompany Lu Ke'er to Jinji Town. Dong Ling usually helped Lei Qi to sell charcoal in the town and was very familiar with the town. Lei Qi had nothing to worry about his daughter, so he agreed and told his daughter to be careful and take good care of Ke'er tomorrow.

Before Lei Qi left, he went into the house to visit Lu Tianning.

He was surprised to find that Lu Tianning looked much better than before.

"Brother Tianning, you look good today." He greeted Lu Tianning with a smile.

"Brother Lei Qi, you are here?" Lu Tianning was also very happy to see Lei Qi. In the past few years, he has been paralyzed in bed and has experienced the fickleness of the world. Some of his brothers and friends who used to have a good relationship with him avoided him and cut off contact with him. Only Lei Qi would come to visit him from time to time. Sometimes he would help his family chop firewood, sometimes he would send some charcoal to his family, and sometimes he would send some rice and vegetables. It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. Lu Tianning was full of gratitude to Lei Qi.

When Lu Tianning saw the fish in Lei Qi's hands, he couldn't help but blame him, "Brother Lei Qi, Tianning is grateful for your presence, why are you taking things away? Alas, you have helped our Lu family enough."

Lei Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You misunderstood. This fish was not brought by me. It was given to me by your daughter."

After that, he told Lu Tianning everything that happened at the gate of the courtyard from beginning to end. After listening, Lu Tianning looked at Lu Ke'er, with mixed feelings for a moment.

Just now, he was in the house, and although the door was closed, he could vaguely hear the noise and quarrel at the door. He was worried and anxious, and all kinds of thoughts emerged in his mind. He just hated that he couldn't go to the gate of the courtyard to check in person. It was not until he saw Ji leading Lei Qi into the house that his heart was at ease.

After listening to Lei Qi's story, he finally felt truly scared.

I didn't expect the situation to be so critical. If Ke'er hadn't remained calm and intimidated everyone at the critical moment, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Ke'er, I'm sorry for that." Lu Tianning held his daughter's hand tightly, and felt as if a stone was pressing on his chest, heavy and suffocating. His eyes were slightly red, and his voice was trembling, "It's all... it's all Dad's fault, for forcing a girl like you to face all this..."

Upon hearing this, Ji also began to wipe away her tears.

Lu Ke'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Dad, why do you always take on everything yourself?" She sighed, "Flowers in a greenhouse can never grow into towering trees. It may not be a bad thing for Xiaoxi and me to go through some wind and rain."

"Brother Tianning, Ke'er is right." Lei Qi sighed, "You should be happy that your daughter has such a broad mind and insight. With an outstanding child like Ke'er, the Lu family will sooner or later stand up again. You, just wait to enjoy the good life in the future."

It’s not that Lei Qi doesn’t have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls, but he understands that if his daughter is capable, she will be of great help to her parents’ family.

"Oh, Uncle Ning, why did you put a stone next to the bed?"

Dong Ling is a girl who can't sit still. While the two fathers were chatting, she would chat with Ke'er and Xiaoxi for a while, and then she would look around in boredom. At this moment, a stone on the low cabinet beside Lu Tianning's bed attracted her attention.
