Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine

Hearing Wang Haoran's slightly dissatisfied tone, Father Li couldn't help but feel embarrassed. After all, he was the one who hit the man! He just didn't expect to lose so thoroughly. However, since he had already lost face, he had to find a way to redeem some dignity.

Seeing that Wang Haoran didn't seem to intend to answer, Father Li no longer dwelled on the question of why he was so agile, but instead asked temptingly: "Are you interested in joining the army? With your skills, it won't be long before you are promoted to officer, and if you keep working hard, you can even become a general." After saying that, Father Li stared at Wang Haoran with anticipation.

"Uncle, does Li Ling know that you said such things?" Hearing Li's father's extremely tempting words, Wang Haoran raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked back with a smile.

Speaking of Li Ling, Li's father also felt a headache. If the two really got married, and Wang Haoran couldn't come home often because he was in the army, wouldn't his daughter resent him?

But when he thought of Wang Haoran's outstanding skills, it would be a pity if he couldn't stay in the army to serve the country. So he pretended to be calm and said, "I will naturally talk to Li Ling. Now I just want to ask if you are willing."

"I don't want to. I can't bear the hardship." Wang Haoran refused directly, thinking to himself: I have a system to rely on, why should I go to the army to suffer? Isn't it a good thing to enjoy life leisurely every day? After the reform and opening up, it won't be too late to let go and do a big job.

"You..." Hearing Wang Haoran's straightforward refusal, Father Li was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly. He had originally planned to teach this ignorant boy a lesson, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and could only wave his hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, since you don't want to, then go ahead."

Seeing that Li's father was no longer insisting on persuading him to join the army, Wang Haoran finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Li's father, then lit it and smoked it without paying attention to anyone else.

Father Li looked at the cigarette in his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He couldn't help but sigh that he was a general, but the cigarettes he smoked on weekdays were not as good as those Wang Haoran smoked. Tsk tsk tsk... The young are really formidable! Maybe "You have a good life! You can even afford Zhonghua." Father Li joked.

"That's a must. So! I am quite satisfied with my current life and don't want to change too much. If I need to change, it's not to join the army, but to find other ways out." When he said this, Wang Haoran's eyes suddenly became bright, as if there was a dazzling light flashing in them.

Father Li saw the change in Wang Haoran and couldn't help but feel curious. He asked, "What's the way out?"

Wang Haoran raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, but he did not directly answer Li's father's question. Instead, he said confidently: "Don't worry about it. Anyway, I won't do anything illegal. Li Ling will only live a better life with me."

Facing Wang Haoran's silence, Father Li seemed to have gotten used to it. Although his heart was tickled by Wang Haoran's words, just like being scratched by a cat's claws, he also understood that this young man had his own ideas and opinions. If he didn't want to talk, it would be futile to ask him more questions.

So, Father Li stopped asking questions and silently picked up the cigarette Wang Haoran handed him and lit it. However, as soon as he took a puff, he started coughing violently.

Wang Haoran frowned upon seeing this and asked with concern: "Were you injured during the war and your lungs hurt? Do you usually have chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing and difficulty breathing, and do you have bloody sputum from time to time?"

Father Li's eyes widened and he replied in shock, "How do you know? Did Li Ling tell you all this?"

Wang Haoran replied calmly, "How rare! I've said that I know some medical skills. The Chinese medicine techniques of acupuncture, smelling, observing, and palpating are a piece of cake for me, okay!"

Father Li curled his lips and said with some disdain: "Look at your nonchalant look, who knows whether what you said is true or not."

Wang Haoran smiled nonchalantly and responded confidently: "I never lie about these things. I would never do such a thing as pretending to be rich."

Seeing Wang Haoran's serious expression, Father Li's face showed joy. He hurriedly said, "Then please help me take a look. This problem has troubled me for many years. I have also consulted many famous doctors, but they can only temporarily relieve the symptoms. As for a complete cure, no one can do anything! Because of this, Li Ling and her mother always control me and don't let me smoke, which makes me feel very depressed and uncomfortable."

"Put your hand here, let me see it." Wang Haoran said softly. After hearing this, Father Li raised his arm without hesitation, skillfully lifted his sleeves, and then slowly stretched his hand in front of Wang Haoran. Wang Haoran's face was as calm as water. He stretched out two fingers and gently placed them on Father Li's pulse, carefully feeling the changes in the pulse. However, not long after, his brows slightly frowned.

"Is the problem serious?" Seeing the subtle change in Wang Haoran's expression, Father Li's heart suddenly hung in the air, and he asked with a slightly trembling voice.

Wang Haoran slowly withdrew his hand, his expression still as calm as before: "The condition is a bit tricky, but for me, it is not an unsolvable problem." Then, he reminded in a firm tone, "Try to keep your daily diet light and avoid spicy and irritating foods. The most important thing is to quit smoking."

"Not letting me smoke? That would be more painful than death!" Father Li complained bitterly upon hearing this.

Wang Haoran understood the pain that Mr. Li was suffering from his unbearable smoking addiction, but still patiently explained: "This is all for the sake of your health. As long as you take your medicine on time and follow my advice, you will be recovered within two months. By then, you can smoke as much as you want." As he spoke, Wang Haoran remembered that he still had some spiritual spring water, which could speed up Mr. Li's father's recovery process, and he said firmly.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something important, he added, "Oh... By the way, remember to eat the fruit I brought this time tomorrow. If you finish it, I'll ask Li Ling to bring some more."

"Okay, then I'll quit smoking for two months, as long as I can recover as soon as possible." Father Li said fiercely, as if he had made up his mind to quit smoking. His eyes were firm and resolute, as if he wanted to break up with cigarettes completely.

Later, Li's father found some paper and prepared to write down the prescription. Wang Haoran picked up a pen and wrote down a series of Chinese medicine names on the paper: mulberry bark, licorice, almond, Huangling... His handwriting was clear and powerful, and every word revealed his professionalism and confidence.

After writing, Wang Haoran handed the paper to Father Li and reminded him again and again: "These medicines need to be taken three times a day. Don't forget! In addition, next time I will bring you something better that can speed up the recovery of your injuries."

Father Li took the note, folded it carefully and put it in his pocket as if he had found a treasure. His expression was full of expectation and hope, as if this piece of paper was the light of hope for his recovery.

“Okay... okay..." Father Li nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely take the medicine according to the prescription.
