Chapter 151: Question

“When he wakes up, you can ask him yourself.” Doctor Zhou looked at the two of them. After thinking for a while, he couldn’t help but say, “This family is pitiful. You’ve seen his reputation. No one likes him.”

“Doctor Zhou, you seem to be very familiar with him…” Yue Jiaojiao asked softly.

“Not really.” Doctor Zhou hesitated for a moment and sighed.

“This child’s mother and I were old acquaintances. When Chen Xiaolang was born, her husband conflicted with someone on the street because he spoke for justice. He was accidentally injured and got locked up in prison. In the end, he contracted a cold disease and died.

“Her husband died, and the two of them have been ostracized ever since. The reason why Chen Xiaolang is like this today is that no one in the town wants to work for him. Although he extorts people, he only extorts foreigners.

“He thinks that people are not good people, so he would do things like blackmail to get what he wants. When the people in town see him do that, they spread the news so far that he’s come to this.”

Thinking about how Fang Tianliu was treated as a bad guy caused Jiaojiao to frown.

Yue Jiaojiao didn’t think it was that ridiculous. After all, the first time they met wasn’t a pleasant experience.

“Doctor Zhou.” Chen Xiaolang clutched his stomach as he walked to the backyard. His obedient demeanor was completely different from the bluffing one he had the last time they met. “I’ve troubled you again. Tell me how much money I owe you. I’ll return it to you in a few days.”

“Return? What do you mean by return?” Doctor Zhou blew at his beard and glared at him. “I don’t want the dirty silver you take!”

Chen Xiaolang lowered his head in embarrassment.

When Yue Jiaojiao saw this, she leaned close to Zhao Zhan’s ear and whispered a few words of advice.

“Do you still remember me?” Zhao Zhan said in a deep voice, “I still remember clearly what happened on the street last time.”

How could Chen Xiaolang not remember?

He had only been treated when he was pushed onto the bed by this person. He pretended not to know them because he felt embarrassed.

“Say something,” Doctor Zhou said unhappily. “Where’s your prestige? Why aren’t you answering when others ask you a question?”

“Doctor Zhou,” Chen Xiaolang lowered her head, “I didn’t refuse to answer.”

“I have a favor to ask of you.” Zhao Zhan looked down at him. “Will you be willing to help me? If you do it well, I’ll pay for Doctor Zhou’s consultation fee.”

Doctor Zhou anxiously pushed him forward.

“Sir Zhao and Madam Zhao looked like decent people. If you can follow them on the right path, it would be a great thing.”

“It’s not like I can’t help you, Yingluo.”

“Can we talk in private?”

“Xiaolang, you should go with them. Don’t forget to come back later to drink the medicine. The medicine should be ready for another two hours.”

Chen Xiaolang repeatedly nodded, then slowly followed behind Zhao Zhan and Yue Jiaojiao to leave the medicinal hall through the back door.

“I want you to secretly inquire about a few people.” Zhao Zhan turned his head to look around to see if there was anyone who could listen in. He said in a cold voice, “There are two men who came to the mountain to look for someone, a woman in her fifties. If you have any news, just go to the shop where you caused trouble last time and leave a message.”

“I’m really sorry about what happened last time. I didn’t know that the man was your brother. I thought he was another hothead from another city,” Chen Xiaolang apologized awkwardly. “As for the person you asked me to find out, I’ll find out for you now.

“Wait a minute,” Yue Jiaojiao opened her mouth and called out to him, “Before you help us on this matter, you can’t go and extort people again. Also, our shop is looking for a dishwasher. Is your mother willing to do it?”
