Hu Xiaobei knew they must be feeling overwheld, so he wanted to first stabilize their emotions.
Otherwise, they probably wouldn't understand what he would say next…
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's calm words of reassurance, they exchanged a look, feeling much more composed.
Seeing their calmness return, Hu Xiaobei knew it was ti to explain things clearly.
With this in mind, Hu Xiaobei organized his thoughts, looked calmly at Qu Linger's mother, and said, "Auntie, there's a problem with your health. While this issue might be tricky for others, it's not particularly difficult for , so I can take care of everything!"
"Really?"
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei speak with such confidence, they quickly voiced their curiosity.
"Of course! I'm absolutely confident!"
"Great!"
They relaxed!
Soon, Qu Linger spoke up, "Xiaobei, what exactly is my mom's illness?"
Glancing at Qu Linger, "I can't say what this illness is called because this is the first ti I've encountered it, though I've seen related symptoms in dical books before. But the na isn't important; what's important is curing it, right?"
"Right! Right! Right!"
Qu Linger thought for a mont and quickly nodded…
With a gentle smile, Hu Xiaobei turned to Qu Linger's mother, "Auntie, this illness can't be fixed in just a day or two, so I need to proceed slowly. As such, you'll need to stay in our village for at least a week, so if you have any matters to attend to, take care of them. Because once treatnt begins, it can't be stopped!"
Hu Xiaobei explained all the necessary precautions to her…
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's reminder, she thought carefully and shook her head lightly, "I've got nothing else to handle! My family is all here, so we can start treatnt anyti!"
"That's good then!"
After saying this, Hu Xiaobei gently said, "I'll arrange a place for you to rest, and once that's done, I'll gather the dicinal ingredients needed for the treatnt. We'll officially start in the afternoon or evening. You can take a break while I prepare, and rest up!"
"Okay!"
When she agreed, Hu Xiaobei smiled, stood up, and said, "Let's go!"
...
Half an hour later, Hu Xiaobei brought them to a secluded courtyard.
This batch of courtyards was specially built by Hu Xiaobei earlier.
The environnt is wonderful…
The purpose of these constructions was to accommodate very important guests.
"Xiaobei, the environnt here is truly amazing!"
Standing in the brick-paved courtyard, they spoke excitedly.
They were truly delighted because the environnt here was impeccable.
"It's alright! You'll stay here. The water cos directly from the mountains. The vegetables and fruits are in the backyard gardens; there's a variety of everything. Pick whatever you want to eat."
"Alright!"
"Okay! I'll go prepare now! Once everything's ready, I'll co over!"
"Great!"
After they agreed, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked out.
"I'll go see Xiaobei off!"
Qu Linger quickly spoke up and hurried after him.
Her parents watched her run forward eagerly, a faint smile on their lips.
They understood their daughter and knew that this ti, she truly felt sothing.
"Even if my health can't recover, it's alright! Seeing my daughter find soone she loves is truly a joyful thing!"
Upon hearing these soft words, Qu Lei furrowed his brows, "What are you saying! Xiaobei said he was confident about treating your illness. Let's trust him now."
"Yes, you're right!"
After saying this, she turned to Qu Lei, "Alright, let's not talk about this now; let's check out the vegetable garden in the back!"
"Sure!"
Similarly interested, Qu Lei's eyes lit up when he heard her words, quickly agreeing.
As they headed straight for the backyard vegetable garden, Hu Xiaobei and Qu Linger were outside.
Hu Xiaobei glanced at Qu Linger and said calmly, "Teacher Linger, go have a chat with your mom, reassure her because her issue isn't that serious for . In no more than ten days, I can have her fully recovered!"
"Really? I previously thought you were just comforting my mom!"
"No, I was telling the truth before! I won't lie in front of you! Absolutely not!"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's firm explanation, a slight blush crossed Qu Linger's eyes.
After hesitating, she shyly said in a soft voice, "Actually, I have a question I want to ask you!"
"What is it?"
"It's…"
She hadn't finished speaking when she frowned slightly…
She did this because her phone rang.
"Who would be calling at a ti like this!"
Mumbling to herself, she took the phone out of her pocket…
After a glance, Qu Linger quickly frowned.
Seeing her frown, Hu Xiaobei lightly asked, "Is it soone annoying?"
"Yes! Not just annoying, utterly repulsive!"
"Then just don't answer!"
"I don't want to, but sotis you really have no choice!"
Sighing quietly, Qu Linger answered the phone…
She put it on speakerphone, so Hu Xiaobei also heard the excited voice on the other end.
"Linger, I heard you're in Xiaohe Village, right? I'm here now! Where are you? Tell , and I'll co find you right away!"
Hearing this barrage of excited questions, Qu Linger frowned in disgust, "What are you doing here?"
"Of course, I'm here to see you! I heard your mom was sick, so I specially found an excellent doctor who can surely cure your mom."
"We're not that close, so my matter doesn't need your trouble!"
If she hadn't t Hu Xiaobei, she might have agreed for her mom's sake.
But now, she had no intention of saying yes because she knew he was a complete scumbag.
"Linger, you really don't have to reject my kind intentions every ti. I'm sincere about you!"
He kept spewing these aningless words, and Qu Linger directly exposed him, "Sincere? The ti you put sleeping pills in my drink was sincere too?"
"That was an accident! At that ti, I wanted to add vitamins to your water, but I mistakenly put the wrong stuff, so don't bla ! I was well-aning!"
"Ha! If you're so good at storytelling, you might as well write novels. I have things to do! Bye!"
Coldly cutting him off, Qu Linger hung up the phone…
After hanging up, she looked at Hu Xiaobei and explained with so helplessness, "Honestly, I don't want to hear his voice, but I have no choice. His father is the principal of my school!"
Stopping here, she sarcastically added, "So people just have it good, with the fortune of a good dad!"
Understanding Qu Linger's frustration, Hu Xiaobei knew he needed to do sothing!
He gave her a deep look and took her phone.
"Xiaobei, you… what are you doing?"
"You'll find out soon!"
With a mysterious smile, Hu Xiaobei dialed the number back in front of her.
"That's that scumbag's number, you…"
Interrupting her, Hu Xiaobei calmly said, "Trust ! Leave it to !"
"This…"
Qu Linger was about to say sothing when she heard the excited voice from the speaker.
"Linger, I knew you wouldn't really hang up on ! After all, we're a match made in heaven! Stick with , and I'll treat you well in the future!"
Hearing this excited declaration, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, playfully yet coldly responding, "Oh, I didn't catch what you said, can I ask, which idiot is speaking?"
Finishing his playful remark, Hu Xiaobei heard an instantly alert and crazed question, "Who are you?"
Without directly answering, Hu Xiaobei responded playfully again, "Didn't catch that? I'm asking which idiot is speaking on the other end!"
"I'm the idiot! I… you're the idiot! I'm asking you, who are you? Why are you holding Linger's phone?"
Hearing the other person's hysterical shouting, Hu Xiaobei knew this guy wished he could tear him to pieces…
With a light chuckle, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, coldly and dominantly stating, "Linger? Is that a na a piece of trash like you can even call?"
