Transmigrated Leftover Woman in Rural Style

Perhaps because the two were standing too close and speaking too softly, they attracted the attention of everyone in the clinic. Realizing the quiet around them, Wei Yu quickly distanced himself, reverting to his domineering and arrogant demeanor.

As soon as the oppressive feeling was relieved, Li Xiaonuan quickly straightened up and unconsciously fanned herself with her hands, feeling a little hot. Remembering what Wei Yu had said earlier, she quickly asked, "Young Master Wei, I'm very busy. Could I please visit your residence when I have some free time?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yu flew into a rage and immediately ordered, "Do as I say. I'm too busy at other times. If you don't come and can't hand over the goods, you'll be in for a world of trouble."

9:00 AM is precisely the prime time. Based on my understanding of a few coastal countries, two hours a day would be enough to cover everything in just half a month. After that, there would still be enough time to complete the land purchase and house construction.

Li Xiaonuan nodded in agreement, acknowledging her compromise. Wei Yu was also satisfied and was about to head home when the curtain to the private room was lifted, and Doctor Qi emerged. He glanced at Li Xiaonuan and said to Wei Yu, who was about to turn away:

"Wei Yu, why did you leave as soon as you saw me?"

Wei Yu stopped awkwardly, and said somewhat timidly, "Uncle Qi, I was just about to leave and didn't notice you came out. How have you been these past few years, Uncle Qi?"

Doctor Qi said self-deprecatingly, "Good, how could it not be good? You used to be so annoying, always coming to find Ji'er to go out and fool around, so he didn't even get to properly learn medicine. In the past three years, since you haven't come to see him, he's been able to put his heart into studying. Tell me, how could it not be good?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yu was extremely embarrassed. His affair with Qi Ji had indeed put both sets of parents in a difficult position. However, he now had his suspicions and was investigating. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to find Qi Ji to ask for clarification.

After gathering his thoughts, Wei Yu said to Doctor Qi in a shameless manner, "Uncle Qi, I was ignorant before and caused you trouble. But, I might come here often in the future, so please don't dislike me anymore."

Doctor Qi said with disdain, "No, you'd better not come looking for Ji'er. I'm afraid he'll hang out with you again and become disobedient. I'm still waiting to hold my grandson."

Wei Yu protested, "Uncle Qi, you still have Brother Qi Jin. If you want to hold a grandson, you have to hold theirs first. Anyway, I don't care, I will definitely visit Qi Ji often in the future."

Doctor Qi was about to glare and berate Wei Yu, but remembering that Qi Ji had been somewhat melancholy for the past few years, he refrained from Wei Yu's rudeness. He flicked his sleeve and said to Li Xiaonuan:

"Girl, I think they'll be here soon. Why don't you go and see what we need to prepare? If you just stand here like a wooden stake, others will bully you."

Li Xiaonuan stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit innocent as the anger instantly turned against her. However, considering that these two had put on a show for her and given her a free performance, being scolded was worth it. So, after agreeing, Li Xiaonuan went to the backyard.

As Li Xiaonuan left, Wei Yu unconsciously stared at her retreating figure, his gaze following her into the distance. Doctor Qi, being who he was, naturally noticed something amiss with someone. It's just that the person in question was unaware of it yet.

So he deliberately said, "What are you looking at? Don't always provoke people you shouldn't. Humph, that girl is someone I've got my eye on, so don't get any funny ideas. With your family background, you shouldn't get involved."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yu turned around, thinking that Doctor Qi was overthinking things, and said, "Uncle Qi, don't worry, I don't like that kind of woman. My father's concubine has a cousin who is both beautiful and gentle, and she is my first choice. Besides, Qiqi is a lady from a respectable family, how can that ugly girl compare to her?"

Doctor Qi chuckled upon hearing this and teased, "Oh, so the beauty's name is Qiqi. Alright, you should hurry up and leave. I still need to prepare some things; the girl's second uncle will be arriving soon, and we need to treat her promptly."

"Wasn't it you who stopped me just now?" Wei Yu thought to himself, but on the surface he said respectfully, "Yes, Uncle Qi. I'll go back now and come to see you again in a few days."

After Wei Yu left, Doctor Qi took two of his more capable apprentices into the backyard. He instructed them to prepare some commonly used life-saving herbs, and then had the young apprentice in charge of decocting the medicine prepare the necessary prescriptions.

He was just about to go back to his room to change into clean clothes so he could check on the situation at the operating room when his own carriage sped in through the side gate. Before the carriage had even come to a complete stop, Qi Ji jumped down. Seeing Doctor Qi, Qi Ji's composed expression turned anxious, and he asked:

"Father, are Prince Jing and the others still inside? Have everything been prepared?"

Seeing that his expression was off and his tone was somewhat urgent, Doctor Qi asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Qi Ji said urgently, "The patient woke up once before we arrived at his home and fell off the bed. He is now in critical condition. If we can't control the bleeding, he may not make it through the night."

"It's that serious? Then hurry up and carry him over. Prince Jing and the others are resting at Fuwei Courtyard. I've already had someone prepare the operating room; we can start the operation as soon as we get Prince Jing and the others there," Doctor Qi replied quickly, and before he finished speaking, he had already walked a few steps to Fuwei Courtyard.

Qi Ji ordered the people in the vehicle to carry the patient out. As the stretcher was lifted out of the vehicle, a stench of blood filled the air. Li Xiaonuan was sweeping in her father's old courtyard when a child called her over. Upon arriving, she saw her second uncle, his face covered in blood, being carried off the vehicle.

Seeing blood on Li Xiaoyang, Li Xiaonuan went over to ask what had happened. Upon learning that her second uncle had fallen off the bed, causing him to vomit blood, Li Xiaonuan scolded Li Xiaoyang, "Xiaoyang, didn't I tell you to keep an eye on your second uncle? How could he have fallen?"

Xiao Yang blamed himself, saying, "It's also my fault. I thought it was impossible for my second uncle to wake up so quickly, so I didn't tell my second aunt and the others when I went to the outhouse."

Knowing that Xiao Yang couldn't be blamed for this, Li Xiaonuan softened her tone and said, "Alright, it's not your fault. It was just that I was in a hurry and spoke carelessly. Let them carry Uncle inside. Look at you, go and take a shower first. I've already prepared water in Dad's room, and Xiao Gang has brought your clothes. He's waiting for you there now."

Seeing that the apprentice had already taken over carrying his second uncle to the operating room, Li Xiaogang absentmindedly agreed. Before leaving, he told Li Xiaonuan, "Second Aunt and the others are still behind in the oxcart. Go out and wait for them."

Li Xiaonuan agreed and urged him, "I know, go wash up quickly." Li Xiaoyang's originally handsome and resolute face was now full of self-blame and exhaustion, which made Li Xiaonuan feel sorry for him.

Qi Ji only had time to tell Li Xiaonuan to take her second aunt and the others to the side hall to rest and wait for news before he hurriedly left. Li Xiaonuan noticed that his steps were somewhat unsteady and knew that her second uncle's condition was very serious; perhaps he wouldn't make it this time.

Overwhelmed by sadness, Li Xiaonuan felt listless and couldn't think of anything to do. It wasn't until she heard the chaotic footsteps of her aunt and the others that she snapped out of her reverie. She couldn't show this emotion in front of them. Therefore, she forced herself to cheer up and greeted and comforted the mother and her three daughters.
