Rural Superb Little Immortal Doctor

Hearing her heart-wrenching sobs Chen Ergou silently sighed.

However, at the same time, Chen Ergou was slightly relieved; at least crying out could somewhat ease Lin Qiaoqiao's pain.

Thinking this, Chen Ergou didn't speak but gently and rhythmically patted her back, trying to make her breathing smoother as she cried.

Chen Ergou knew that she was just a sixteen-year-old girl, and honestly, she really shouldn't have to go through so much.

But, unfortunately, because Lin Qiaoqiao had a rotten father!

Lin Fuquan, the number one scoundrel in the village, had been a good-for-nothing since his youth, and his wife had run off with another man early on.

His wife running away didn't make him realize his mistakes; instead, he in drenched himself deeper into gambling, leaving an already poor family in abject poverty!

"Brother Ergou, I'm sorry! I've gotten your clothes all wet!"

At that moment, Chen Ergou heard Lin Qiaoqiao's apologetic words, paused slightly, and soon, looking at her pitiful self, he shook his head and said:

"Silly girl! It's just a piece of clothing! Your brother won't mind! But about you, do you feel a bit better after crying?"

Forcing a smile, Lin Qiaoqiao bitterly glanced towards the distance, sighed and said somewhat despondently, "Yeah, I feel much better, but I might not be able to marry you now! Because my dad has arranged another marriage for me."

"Old Man Zhang? Don't worry, your brother will never let you marry him! I..."

Chen Ergou hadn't finished speaking when Lin Qiaoqiao plunged into his arms again, "Brother Ergou, stop talking, just hold me!"

"Okay!"

Feeling Lin Qiaoqiao's trembling body, Chen Ergou nodded quickly and held her tightly!

Chen Ergou silently decided, no matter what, he absolutely couldn't let her fall into a trap!

After comforting Lin Qiaoqiao a little more, Chen Ergou eventually separated from her...

Upon returning home, Chen Ergou saw Li Cuixia and Chen Jianqiu sitting in the courtyard discussing Lin Qiaoqiao's situation!

Li Cuixia was picking vegetables while sighing, "Qiaoqiao is really obedient, but with such a father, her life might really be ruined!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Li Cuixia's words, Chen Jianqiu took a deep breath...

"Dad, Mom, let's help sister Qiaoqiao!"

Hearing them discussing, Chen Ergou stepped forward and quickly spoke up!

Li Cuixia frowned and said, "Help? How to help? Where can we get one hundred thousand yuan from!"

Hearing Li Cuixia speak, Chen Jianqiu also said, "Exactly, I don't know what's going on this year, it hardly rains, the crops are almost dead! We really don't have the time to deal with other people's problems now!"

"I..."

Chen Ergou wanted to say something more, but he saw them picking up their hoes!

After opening his mouth, Chen Ergou could only heave a silent sigh...

Chen Ergou knew it wasn't that they were really heartless, but the family really couldn't pull together that much money!

Raising money!

How could he raise the money!

Thinking this, Chen Ergou remembered the ginseng he had dug up earlier, and he knew that if he could sell it quickly, he might be able to raise the money!

With this in mind, Chen Ergou hurried back to his room!

Just as he was about to check the forum again on his computer to see if there were any new updates, his phone rang.

Quickly pulling out his phone, Chen Ergou didn't recognize the number, but still hurried to answer, knowing that he had left his phone number on the forum before!

So, perhaps the caller was someone who had seen his post and wanted to buy the ginseng!

"Hello..."

The moment the call connected, Chen Ergou eagerly spoke.

"Hello, my name is Xia Yuhan! I saw your post about a ginseng on the forum, and I was wondering if it's still available?"

"It is!"

Hearing such a soft, bell-like voice from the other end, a flicker of excitement passed through Chen Ergou's eyes!

"Are you free tomorrow? If you are, I'll come over to have a look, and if there are no issues, I'll buy it!"

"Yes, I can do tomorrow!"

After agreeing without any hesitation, Chen Ergou asked, "I was wondering, how much could this ginseng possibly sell for?"

After Chen Ergou asked, he heard some hesitation from the person on the other end of the line, but soon, Chen Ergou received a response that excited him!

"Since I haven't seen the actual item, I can't say for certain, but if the picture is genuine, I'm willing to offer two hundred thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

Upon hearing this price, an overwhelmed-with-excitement Chen Ergou really wanted to roar out loud!

Chen Ergou contained his excitement and confirmed some details about their meeting tomorrow with Xia Yuhan on the phone before hanging up...

"Two hundred thousand! With this money, all problems could be swiftly resolved!"

Thinking this, Chen Ergou excitedly clenched his fists. The next second, Chen Ergou wanted to quickly share this great news with Lin Qiaoqiao, but then he realized it was already very late!

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ergou decided he would tell her the news tomorrow!

The next day, as soon as it was light, Chen Ergou hurried to Lin Qiaoqiao's house!

Just as he arrived at the doorstep of Lin Qiaoqiao's house, he was met with a scene that made his face turn cold!

An old man with a hunched back and a sleazy face was pestering Lin Qiaoqiao:

"Oh, Qiaoqiao, let me handle fetching the water from now on! I am your man after all. This kind of task shouldn't be done by a girl, right?"

Sleazy!

This old man had a sleazy face, and he tried several times to touch Lin Qiaoqiao's hands but she dodged them in panic!

Seeing Lin Qiaoqiao cornered by the sleazy-faced Old Man Zhang and looking helpless, many villagers silently sighed!

"Ah, Qiaoqiao's life is really ruined!"

"Yes, that Lin Fuquan truly is a curse!"

"Indeed, that Lin Fuquan really deserves to die!"

All the onlooking villagers wanted to help her, feeling helpless as they watched Lin Qiaoqiao, but they couldn't because they were outsiders and it wasn't appropriate to meddle in the Lin Family's affairs!

"All of you shut up, this is our family business, what does it have to do with you? Stop yapping here! Annoying! Now scram, or be careful I'll have someone kill you!"

Old Man Zhang, hearing people talk about him, instantly got upset!

After all, in his view, since he had paid the money, Lin Qiaoqiao belonged to him, and these people had no right to point fingers!

"You..."

Just as the onlookers wanted to say something else, they thought better of it knowing Old Man Zhang's character. After all, they knew he had a brother in the county town who was quite influential!

Seeing that the villagers dared not speak anymore, Old Man Zhang sneered arrogantly and then, grinning, showing his disgusting yellow teeth, he advanced towards Lin Qiaoqiao!

"You... don't come any closer!" Lin Qiaoqiao cried out in despair, her body retreating step by step.

Seeing the disgust on Lin Qiaoqiao's face, Old Man Zhang chuckled coldly and said,

"Heh, stop struggling, just accept your fate! Your father has already taken my deposit! By now, he's likely lost it all again, so it's impossible for him to back out now. You might as well settle in quickly! From now on, be my woman, carry water for me, wash my feet, and warm my bed!"

"I..."

As Lin Qiaoqiao, filled with terror, was about to say more, her expression suddenly brightened, because at that moment, she saw the expressionless Chen Ergou approaching her without hesitation and she quickly shouted for help,

"Brother Ergou, save me!"

"Brother Ergou?"

Hearing Lin Qiaoqiao's words, Old Man Zhang turned his head and saw the stern-faced Chen Ergou standing behind him!

With a sneer, Old Man Zhang loosened his stiff neck and said coldly, "Oh, Ergou! What's this? Planning to play the hero and save the damsel in front of me? Let me tell you, if you know what's good for you, scram now! Otherwise, I will have someone cripple you!"

Seeing it was Chen Ergou, Old Man Zhang appeared unconcerned because he knew that Chen Ergou was just a poor wretch, not worthy of challenging him...

"Scram? It's you who should be scrambling!"

Expressionlessly staring at Old Man Zhang, Chen Ergou didn't hesitate to lift his arm.

The next second, he landed a punch right in the disgusting face of Old Man Zhang...
