Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

This elaborate and intimate gesture lasted for a full minute, with both of them frozen in place, completely stunned.

Lin Ping's thieving eyes darted around, and before Zhou Xiyin could erupt in anger, he suddenly darted away, tail between his legs, and ran towards Xuanji Hall, shouting in terror, "It's eating people! The tigress is going to eat people!"

"Tiger mom" is an extremely disrespectful term for a woman. Zhou Xiyin's face turned green with anger. If she were really a tiger mom, she would probably have devoured Lin Ping long ago.

"Hmph, what a coward with a heart of a thief!" Zhou Xiyin said angrily, and sternly ordered the driver to go home.

She's a girl, and when she's wronged, she always needs to find a place to vent her anger. But the driver is somewhat innocent and even unaware of the situation.

Lin Ping dove into the covers, moving as fast as lightning. Even with the blankets covering his head, he couldn't stop the panic in his heart, which felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.

Only now did Lin Ping truly taste the faint sweetness on Zhou Xiyin's cherry lips.

Of course, Lin Ping is a wealthy loser who can not only taste Zhou Xiyin's sweetness, but perhaps also her saltiness.

"Hmph, she's far inferior to my wife!" Lin Ping said, smacking his lips, shamelessly comparing Zhou Xiyin to Jiang Yunying.

As night fell, Lin Ping's roaring heart finally calmed down, and he pondered what might happen tomorrow.

Lin Ping had already developed this good habit, and even began to anticipate the day before he would be embarrassed and show off.

After daybreak, Lin Ping treated thirty patients according to international practice, but the time was half that of the past. This was not because Lin Ping's medical skills had improved, but because he was always nervous and his right eye kept twitching. Even putting a piece of white paper on his eyelid did not help much.

"No, I have to go to the Zhou residence to check on things, lest that stupid woman do something foolish again," Lin Ping said anxiously, which could also be considered as assigning tasks to Zhao Ritian and Ye Liangchen.

In fact, Xuanjitang treats more than thirty patients every day. Every afternoon, Zhao Ritian and Ye Liangchen take turns to be on duty, and some patients with milder conditions are willing to let the two of them treat them.

A good teacher produces outstanding students! The disciples of Doctor Lin can't be too bad.

After running all the way to the Lin residence, Lin Ping was completely exhausted. He was panting heavily, his hands on his knees, almost sticking out his tongue to cool off.

"Divine Doctor, what brings you here? Please come in quickly!" The doorman said with a fawning smile upon seeing Lin Ping, without even bothering to inform Lin Yezheng.

Before Lin Ping could even enter, Zhou Yezheng hurriedly came out to greet him, his face always bearing the most sincere smile.

"Is the divine doctor here to see Yinyin?" Zhou Yezheng smiled wickedly, his eyes revealing his true thoughts.

Although it is said that daughters cannot stay at home forever once they grow up, it is not appropriate to rush to marry off one's daughter. Besides, Zhou Xiyin has never said that she likes Lin Ping; it is all Lin Yezheng's subjective assumption.

Lin Ping's throat was hoarse, and he couldn't say a complete sentence; he just kept nodding.

"That's strange. Didn't Yinyin go to find the divine doctor? Why didn't you two run into him?" Zhou Yezheng said with a puzzled look as he watched Zhou Xiyin leave with Wan'er.

Bound by feudal ideology, girls were not allowed to go out freely, and their parents would keep a close watch on them.

If it weren't for wanting Zhou Xiyin to find him a rich husband, Zhou Yezheng wouldn't have allowed her to go out so freely.

It's quite strange that Lin Ping has come to his door now, but Zhou Xiyin is nowhere to be seen.

"That stupid woman must have gone to borrow money!" Lin Ping slapped his thigh and said in annoyance, regretting what he had said yesterday.

He had assumed that the Zhou family could afford the 18,000 taels of silver, so he hadn't paid much attention to Zhou Xiyin's behavior at the time. Now that he thought about it, she did seem rather depressed and forlorn.

"Borrow money? Why would you need to borrow money for no reason?" Zhou Yezheng was even more puzzled. Just as he was about to ask for clarification, Lin Ping had already disappeared.

Although Zhou Xiyin is somewhat willful, she loves her family deeply and is willing to do anything to elevate the Lin family to a higher level.

Since Lin Ping had offered a bright path, she was determined to work hard, regardless of any difficulties or obstacles.

"What a foolish woman!" Lin Ping suddenly recalled the scene of Zhou Xiyin agreeing to marry Ruan Dan for the sake of the Zhou family. How resolute and how tragic.

Lin Ping regretted irresponsibly offering a seemingly bright path, which ultimately required a frail woman to run around doing all sorts of errands.

There are two ways to borrow money: one is to borrow money from relatives and friends, and the other is to borrow money from a money exchange.

Lin Ping didn't think Zhou Xiyin had any reliable relatives or friends, otherwise she wouldn't have been driven to such a desperate situation by Jin Manlou.

It cannot be ruled out that Zhou Xiyin might sacrifice her happiness again for the sake of the Zhou family's development, for example, by borrowing money from some lecherous and audacious wealthy merchants.

This possibility will soon be ruled out, after all, the Lin Zhou family's situation is much better than before, and it's not worth sacrificing lifelong happiness for the sake of adding to their existing happiness.

Therefore, Zhou Xiyin most likely went to the money exchange to borrow money.

The target was narrowed down again; there were only a handful of reputable money shops in Yingtian Prefecture.

Going to Jinmanlou to borrow money would be tantamount to humiliating oneself, and there's also the possibility that the other party could find something to use against her. Lin Ping figured that this woman wasn't that stupid.

"Bafang Money House!" Lin Ping suddenly mentioned this name. After all, this money house had recently become very popular and had a good reputation, making it the best choice for Zhou Xiyin to borrow money.

At this moment, a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a beautiful face arrived in front of a branch of Bafang Money Exchange, accompanied by a young girl dressed as a maid.

The two hesitated, and several times they tried to step through the gate, but then turned back.

"May I ask what brings you two young ladies here?" The two gatekeepers asked rather unfriendly questions, sensing that the two were acting suspiciously.

"Since you're here to borrow money," Wan'er replied with a pout, naturally not wanting to be mistaken for a petty thief.

It's one thing for me to be misunderstood as a maid, but Zhou Xiyin is a precious young lady, and she absolutely cannot be smeared with any mud.

"Borrow money? May I ask your names?" the gatekeeper continued.

Judging from Zhou Xiyin's clothes, she shouldn't be poor, but it seems really unwise to have two women come to borrow money.

“My young lady is the daughter of the Zhou family. How could you two gatekeepers possibly stop her?” Wan’er retorted angrily, hands on her hips. She clearly saw the disdain in the gatekeepers’ eyes.

"The Zhou residence?" The two gatekeepers' dark eyes darted around, and they quickly confirmed Zhou Xiyin's identity. Their disdainful gazes immediately turned...icy cold!

Indeed, the two men stood directly in front of the door, their attitude quite firm, saying, "Please leave, gentlemen. Bafang Money Shop does not serve women."

Not receiving women? Why does that sound so harsh? They clearly look down on the Zhou family, thinking that the Zhou family's fate is sealed and they are powerless to repay their debts. This is just a euphemistic way of putting it.
