Chapter 534: Doctor Xie’s Worries
Doctor Xie stretched his sore body and said, “Your office is not needed, but I will tell Li Shu’s family to sleep in the waiting room. I’m going back to Xie Village today. ”

When Song Yan heard what his teacher said, his eyes lit up and he said, “Teacher, I bought a bicycle recently. It will be faster and more convenient if I take you back.”

Doctor Xie thought for a while and nodded, “Okay.”

It would also be good to let his students go to Xie Village. With his talent in medicine, he might be able to find out what materials were used by Lu Jueyu to brew her tonic wine.

Doctor Xie couldn’t help but smile at the thought of being able to drink the tonic wine every day. After tasting Lu Jueyu’s tonic wine, he fell in love with the taste. Unless he really craved it, he is reluctant to drink it since he only has a small bottle of the tonic wine.

After getting his teacher’s consent, Song Yan stood up and said, “Teacher, please wait a moment. I’m going to change clothes first.”

Doctor Xie waved his hand and said, “Take your time, don’t rush.”

After Song Yan left, Doctor Xie woke up Aunt Li and Li Sang and said, “Sister-in-law, I’m going back to the village first. You and your son can rest in the waiting room, you can use the blankets, beds, and pillows there.”

“Thank you, Doctor Xie.” Li Sang said gratefully.

Before leaving, Doctor Xie added, “Li Sang, you should report to your superiors first and take a few days’ rest. It may take a few days for Da Niu to wake up.”

Remembering that he had not notified his superiors about his daughter being hospitalized yet, Li Sang said, “Thank you, Doctor Xie, for reminding me.”

He waved his hand and said, “Since I adopted Da Niu as my granddaughter, we have become a family. There is no need to be so polite just for a small matter.”

After saying this, Doctor Xie went to the washroom to wash his face and then waited for his student in the hospital lobby. Not long after, he saw Song Yan striding over with a sling bag on his shoulder.

Seeing his disciple’s messy hair and heavy dark circles under his eyes, Doctor Xie shook his head. Among his ten disciples, Song Yan was the youngest and most talented. Unfortunately, despite his talent, handsome face, and excellent figure, he is still single at the age of 20. As a genius, his mind is always on his studies and he has no interest in relationships with women.

At this time, Doctor Xie was thinking about what kind of girl could make this iron tree bloom. He didn’t know if he could live long enough to see Song Yan get married.

Song Yan didn’t know that his teacher was worried about his marriage prospects, and walked over with a smile, “Teacher, do you want to have breakfast first? We can stop by the state-owned restaurant.”

Thinking of the food left at home, Doctor Xie waved his hand and said, “There is no need to spend money carelessly. I have food at home, so let’s go back directly.”

Since the teacher said so, Song Yan stopped insisting and went to get the bicycle.

When Doctor Xie and Song Yan were on their way back to Xie Village, the villagers were starting their day with new energy.

As the sun rose in the eastern sky, the Chen family was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere. Today is the first day of Grandpa Chen’s funeral, but beside the main branch, no one came over to help.

Under normal circumstances, even after a family is separated, if an elder in the family passes away, the whole family will get together to help with the funeral. However since Grandpa Chen hurt the other branches’ benefit during the separation, no one has been willing to come and help. They don’t even want to pretend to maintain their family’s reputation.

At this time, except for Grandpa Chen’s sons and daughters-in-law who were busy decorating the funeral hall, only Gou Dan and his siblings were busy borrowing tables and benches from neighbors.

Although the villagers don’t like Grandpa Chen’s immediate family members, they won’t give them any trouble borrowing tables and chairs. After all, they should respect the deceased, and Grandpa Chen is also very good at maintaining relationships with his neighbors.

Gou Dan came back from borrowing the table and saw other children chatting happily and walking to school. At this moment, a trace of regret surged in his heart. If he didn’t cause trouble to Dong Huang and Feng Lin, he might also be on his way to school instead of setting up a funeral hall for his grandpa.

Although he doesn’t like studying, it is still better than working in the field to earn work points. Now that his grandfather has passed away and his father has rarely come back from his workplace in the city, his second uncle is responsible for taking care of the family’s money and food.

Logically speaking, if the parents pass away, the power to run the household will be given to the eldest son and his wife. But because Gou Dan’s mother insisted not to report Grandpa Chen’s suspicious death to the authorities, the rest of the family refused to let her manage the family’s money and food.

They suspected that Grandpa Chen’s death was related to her or Gou Dan. Therefore, after voting, most people in their family agreed to let his second uncle manage the family.

After putting down the table, Gou Dan wiped the sweat from his forehead and wanted to go to the kitchen to fetch a cup of water.

But before he could take a step, his second uncle’s wife came over and said, “Gou Dan, go and borrow more benches. There will be many guests coming over soon, and we must ensure that everyone has enough seats.”
