Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 21 Xiangdong, what on earth are you thinking?

"Look, that's Zhao Rong's house. The one with the open gate is it!"

"Okay, thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Lin Jun gratefully bowed to the person who led the way and thanked him loudly.

He took his daughter and followed the address given by He Yushui all the way to the front gate. They successfully found the veterinary shop, but the shop was closed and no one was found. After asking around in the shops, he learned that Li Xiangdong had gone to the tavern. When he ran over to take a look, Li Xiangdong was not there again.

There was no choice but to take his daughter and ask an old man who was performing shadow puppet shows across the street. Only then did he learn that Li Xiangdong had followed the tavern owner to the home of Zhao Rong, an employee of the small restaurant. After asking around a bit, he quickly caught up with them.

The journey was really tiring for the two of them. Lin Yanqiu's nose was already covered with sweat. After seeing his father park the car, he pulled him in to find Li Xiangdong.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Although Lin Jun was a little excited, he held his daughter's hand and shook his head, "Let's not rush for now!"

"Dad!" Lin Yanqiu was speechless. She shrugged her nose and said in confusion, "Dad, you're not thinking that being close to home makes you feel more timid, are you? The man surnamed Li is in this yard. If you don't look for him now, we might not be able to find him again later..."

"Shh, no hurry, just listen!" Lin Jun smiled without saying anything, pointed to the small courtyard, tilted his head and listened to something.

"Dad~" Lin Yanqiu stamped her feet coquettishly. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the yard. She frowned and listened to her father for a while. Her smart eyes immediately burst into anger and she said indignantly, "It's too much. What era is this? There are still men who beat women! Dad, I finally heard that Zhao Rong's man is not a human being. How can he do this!"

Lin Jun listened quietly, distinguishing the sounds in the yard. After listening for a while, he could only hear a woman crying and another young female voice indignantly. He guessed that one of them was Zhao Rong and the other should be the tavern owner Xu Huizhen, but Li Xiangdong's voice did not come for a long time.

"He who has no respect for women, beats and scolds women at will, and disrespects human rights, should be sent to the street office and the police station to be locked up!" Lin Yanqiu stamped her feet angrily and pulled her father, saying, "Come on, Dad, since we're here, let's go in and help!"

"Wait a moment!" Lin Jun held her back, but shook his head. He had an idea in mind. "Let's just take a look outside the courtyard and go in later. It's not polite to barge in rashly! This is someone else's family affair! It's said that family disgrace should not be made public. If we strangers go in, it will be embarrassing for the host family! Yanqiu, come here!"

As he spoke, he pulled Lin Yanqiu closer and found an angle from which they could see the scene in the courtyard.

"Dad, you wanted to find Li Xiangdong, but now you're here and he's gone. I really don't understand what you want to do! Okay, okay, if you don't want to see him, then don't see him!" Although Lin Yanqiu believed in what he said, he didn't understand his father's behavior.

Along the way, she has already changed the third place to find Li Xiangdong. If it were her, she would have to go home and rest if she couldn't find him the first time!
But Lin Jun just smiled without saying anything, looking at the yard with interest, his eyes fixed on the young man standing in the middle.

Seeing her father like this, Lin Yanqiu pouted and rolled her eyes silently. She didn't know why, but she felt the urge to take a peek, which drove her to look towards the yard.

The first thing that came into her sight was a tall and straight figure, and then a young man with a handsome face, sharp features, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes immediately attracted her attention.

His skin was wheat-colored, with a bronze tint from years of running around, his hair was slightly short, his body was tall and well-proportioned, and he gave off a healthy and sunny vibe.

And those clear black and white eyes swept towards the courtyard, but were not affected by the noise at all. He always looked calm and indifferent, appearing so relaxed and indifferent, and possessing immense confidence.

Lin Yanqiu looked at him deeply, as if his eyes were attracted by a magnet and could not move away. He even felt his heart skip a beat, causing his breathing to become slightly faster. He... must be Li Xiangdong!

Lin Yanqiu was certain of this person's identity, and the noisy sounds around her ears began to come in. In her sight, the man named Wang Li was saying something angrily to Xu Huizhen. The intense scene suddenly made her feel anxious, and she couldn't help but worry whether Li Xiangdong would be affected.

"Xu Huizhen! You've gone too far! I respect you as Xiaorong's shopkeeper, but let's be honest, I also tell you that you don't need to be involved in our family affairs. If you meddle in other people's business, get out of here!"

Wang Li picked up the fire tongs beside the door and pointed at Xu Huizhen and Li Xiangdong, no longer being polite.

This sudden scene frightened Zhao Rong. She rushed over and hugged her man, shouting, "Wang Li, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, come to me if you have anything to say! They all mean well, please don't hit them!"

Li Xiangdong slightly turned his body and silently blocked Xu Huizhen's body.

"Okay, Wang Li, now you not only beat your wife, but you also want to beat me, the shopkeeper, right? Okay, okay, I, Xu Huizhen, have never been one to be scared! Come on, hit me on the head!" Xu Huizhen had a hot temper and would not be scared by a fool like Wang Li. Hearing that, the anger in her chest seemed to be ignited and she rolled up her sleeves and was ready to rush forward.

"What's going on?" The old man next to him was turning around in his seat anxiously, but he couldn't see anything and could only worry.

"Huizhen, Huizhen, don't come over! I beg you, please go! It is said that when you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, you follow the dog. He is my man. Not to mention that he didn't hit me, even if he did, I admit it! This is our own family matter, please don't get involved! Please, Wang Li is angry, and I'm afraid you will get hurt. Please go away!" Zhao Rong was extremely scared. She hugged Wang Li's legs tightly, not letting him go forward, and quickly yelled at Xu Huizhen to stop her from rushing over.

"Zhao Rong!" Hearing her words, Xu Huizhen was extremely disappointed. "I shouldn't have been involved in your family's affairs, but you know, your thinking is still from the old society. How can you let your husband treat you like this? You will be beaten to death!"

"I'll accept it even if I'm beaten to death!" Zhao Rong cried.

"..." Xu Huizhen was stunned and speechless for a long time.

"Humph, good words can't persuade the damned ghost, Zhao Rong, Sister Huizhen has nothing to say about you, and you actually favor someone like Wang Li!" At this time, Li Xiangdong pulled Xu Huizhen and gave her a look, "Sister Huizhen, let's go!"

"Ah? Go?" Xu Huizhen was stunned. She looked up at the calm eyes in confusion. She stared at them with a questioning look and found that Li Xiangdong did say go.

"Let's go!" Li Xiangdong didn't explain. He turned his head and took a deep look at Wang Li, whose chest was heaving, then grabbed Xu Huizhen's arm and walked out of the yard.

Behind her, there was a thud, and Zhao Rong slipped from Wang Li's legs and fell to the ground, bursting into tears.

Outside the courtyard, Xu Huizhen was very confused and disappointed and said, "Xiangdong, Wang Li is already like this, if we leave, do you believe that she will be beaten to death later... I didn't expect you to be a coward!"

"Leave?" Li Xiangdong smiled when he heard that, and turned around and squatted at the gate of the courtyard, "Who said we were leaving!"

"Huh?" Xu Huizhen's eyes lit up, and she immediately squatted down, saying in surprise: "Xiangdong, you've confused me. What on earth do you have in mind?"
