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

Chapter 22 What Li Xiangdong needs to do is to cure the root cause

As a woman, Xu Huizhen naturally knows how difficult it is for women to work in this era.

She had known Zhao Rong for many years. Ever since she took over the tavern, the other party had been working for her. Later, after the public-private partnership, after several twists and turns, Zhao Rong was finally assigned to work in the restaurant by her.

To be honest, Xu Huizhen admires and feels sorry for this woman who supports the entire family on her own.

So when Xu Huizhen saw her friend suffer such injustice, she was angry. Her straightforward nature made her want to help Zhao Rong escape from her suffering and speak up for her.

Li Xiangdong has always been one of the people she admires very much. She brought him here today to help Zhao Rong because she was impressed by Li Xiangdong's kindness and sense of justice. However, she did not expect that at the critical moment, facing the arrogance and unreasonableness of a scum like Wang Li, he actually chose to retreat. How could Xu Huizhen not be angry and disappointed?
But after leaving the hospital, she heard this guy say that he was not leaving. This made her a little confused and bewildered, and she didn't know what Li Xiangdong was up to.

"Xiangdong, tell me the truth, have you noticed something? What are you thinking? You are pulling me away and not leaving, what do you want to do?" After squatting down, Xu Huizhen asked hurriedly.

"Haha, Sister Huizhen, do you think I'm really leaving? What will happen to Zhao Rong if I leave? Don't you want to stand up for her?" Li Xiangdong said with a smile, without any sense of urgency.

This made Xu Huizhen even more curious, "Li Xiangdong, what are you doing? You're driving me crazy!"

"Let's go for a walk! Wang Li was furious just now. I can fight him head-on without any problem. But if I accidentally hurt you, I will be guilty. Let's go in after he calms down! Then all problems will be solved!" Li Xiangdong explained.

Xu Huizhen's eyes lit up, but she was a little unconvinced, "Is this true? The problem can be solved by going in again? Do you have to be so magical?"

"Sister Huizhen, you don't believe it?" Li Xiangdong smiled slightly.

"Of course I don't believe it! Do you have such ability? You didn't say anything just now, I thought you were scared silly!" Xu Huizhen pursed her lips.

"Don't doubt it. How about we make a bet?" Li Xiangdong said confidently.

"Bet?" Xu Huizhen was stunned. She didn't expect that he would still have such thoughts at this time. She laughed out loud, "You are really something! You just said that you will solve the problem. What I want is that Wang Li admits his mistake and stops beating Zhao Rong. If he has committed a crime, he must take the initiative to apologize to Zhao Rong. If it is serious, he must take the initiative to admit his mistake to the street! Accept the punishment from above! If Wang Li was indeed misunderstood by me, you have to help me solve this misunderstanding and let me know what happened!"

Li Xiangdong smiled and said, "Okay! If I can solve it successfully, I want you to promise me one thing!"

"What's the matter?" Xu Huizhen blurted out.

"You'll know when the time comes. Just tell me whether you agree or not." Li Xiangdong looked at her.

"You can't make any excessive demands..." Xu Huizhen's face suddenly turned red.

"..." Li Xiangdong's mouth twitched.

"Okay!" Seeing him look at her strangely, Xu Huizhen felt a little insecure for no reason. She thought she had misunderstood and nodded quickly, "I promise you! Then tell me what you found?"

Li Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "You must have also observed this small courtyard. What did you find?"

Xu Huizhen turned her head and stroked her forehead, "Xiangdong, don't keep me in suspense. I was so anxious just now that I didn't have the energy to observe. Just tell me!"

"Okay!" Li Xiangdong pointed towards the yard, "Did you see the chicken coop and the firewood pile? They are clean, tidy and flat. Zhao Rong is so busy at work, this is definitely not her work. There is also a blind old man in the Wang family, so this must be taken care of by Wang Li! Did you notice when he served the old man a meal just now? The old man ate white flour buns and drank white rice porridge, but Wang Li himself ate corn flour buns and drank noodle soup, which didn't have many noodles at all. Seeing how he talked and got along with the old man, and how he treated people, it is hard to compare this man with the impression that he treated women rudely. He is clearly a good man who manages the family and respects his family!"

Xu Huizhen was stunned and said in astonishment: "You are indeed a person with a keen eye for discerning things. You have seen so much in such a short time! Wang Li is such a person? To be honest, I don't believe it..."

"Sister Huizhen, please believe me, my intuition will not be wrong!"

Xu Huizhen was stunned for a moment, her brows furrowed, and after a while she finally nodded: "When do we go in?"

"No hurry, wait until he gets sick!"

Xu Huizhen's pupils trembled, her eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "You mean... Wang Li is sick? What's wrong with him?"

Li Xiangdong kept silent, but did not say anything else. In the distance.

Lin Yanqiu had been pulled to a corner by Lin Jun.

"Dad, what are you doing? Li Xiangdong is here, why don't you go over and meet him? What are we doing here today? Really! I'm impressed by you!"

Lin Jun was not angry when his daughter scolded him. He just pulled her and said with a smile: "Aren't you curious about what Li Xiangdong wants to do?"

"Huh? What does he want to do?" Lin Yanqiu didn't really figure out why Li Xiangdong suddenly pulled Xu Huizhen away. If it were her in the situation just now, she would definitely not be afraid of Wang Li's brutal attack and would rush up to rescue Zhao Rong.

Glancing at his daughter, he saw that she was still furious, with fire in her eyes. Lin Jun smiled and said, "If it were you, would you have rushed up to confront Wang Li? Would you have rescued Zhao Rong and sent Wang Li to the subdistrict office?"

"That's for sure! People like Wang Li should be punished, and it would be best if he goes to jail! Humph!" Lin Yanqiu said angrily.

"Then I can only say that if you are a doctor, you can only cure the disease, but what Li Xiangdong has to do is to cure the root cause! He wants to eradicate this stubborn disease! This young man is becoming more and more interesting!" Lin Jun was very pleased that he did not make a mistake in choosing the right person.

Lin Yanqiu widened his eyes, somewhat moved, and turned to look at the young figure squatting at the gate of the courtyard. Suddenly, he felt that the other person's image was gradually becoming taller.

And at this moment, in the small courtyard.

Zhao Rong had stopped crying. She comforted the old man, asked the three children to leave the house, and ignored her husband who was sitting dejectedly on the side. She quickly prepared some food and let the three children sit at the table to have lunch with the old man.

"Daniu, Erniu, Niuniu, come and eat!"

The three children held their bowls and slurped the poor noodles with a bitter look on their faces, but their eyes were reluctantly cast on the old man's bowl, where there was half a white steamed bun floating on the white rice porridge.

"Don't look at them, just eat your own food!" Zhao Rong called out, and then whispered, "Dad, do you want me to heat it up for you?"

The old man shook his head, pointed at Wang Li and said, "Help Xiaoli reheat his steamed buns and rice porridge. Don't blame him..."

Zhao Rong shook her head, wiped her tears and said, "Dad, I never blamed him!"

"Grandpa, my dad doesn't eat white flour buns, he eats corn flour buns, and drinks clear soup noodles, which only have a few noodles!" A child's voice came at the right time, which made the old man shudder all over.

He immediately burst into tears, wiped his tears silently, and whispered: "Hey, Xiaoli, our family is so miserable! You are obviously a good child, but you are misunderstood by outsiders..."

"Dad!" Wang Li, who was sitting on the doorstep at this time, interrupted his father and said with a wry smile: "Don't say anything, I accept it in this life! It's just... Xiaorong has suffered, I'm sorry just now!"

Hearing this, Zhao Rong sighed, took two steps and squatted in front of Wang Li, holding his hand, shaking her head and smiling: "Wang Li, I don't blame you! Let's live our own lives. Other people's misunderstandings are their own fault. I will explain to Huizhen tomorrow, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your affairs..."

"Hiss!" Wang Li nodded and took a breath.

Zhao Rong was suddenly startled, and hurriedly grabbed his hands tightly, saying in a lost voice: "What's wrong? Is it hurting again? Bite me, I can bear it!"

"Go away! Go away! Get out of here!" Wang Li pushed Zhao Rong away and fell to the ground with a painful look on his face. His back was arched. He closed his eyes tightly and slapped the ground in pain. A beast-like howl came out of his mouth, scaring the three children so much that they huddled together.

"Wang Li, hold me, hold me! It's okay, it's okay!" Zhao Rong found a towel and stuffed it into her mouth, rolled up her sleeves and rushed over to hug him. No matter how Wang Li struggled, she would not let go, saying, "It's okay, Wang Li, it will pass, believe me!"

"Get out, get out!" Wang Li was sweating profusely. He clenched his other hand tightly. His nails were covered with blood. The veins on his neck were bulging and his face was hideous. He shouted to his eldest son, "Danniu, get a knife. I can't hurt your mother anymore. I'm going to chop off my own hand..."

Bang!
At this moment, the tightly closed courtyard door was kicked open and Li Xiangdong's tall figure appeared at the door.

"Wang Li, why are you doing this? If you believe in me, I can save you!"
