A Blessing in Disguise: The Rural Doctor

  Marry into the Fú family? Lǐ's heart skipped a beat, and before she could even process her thoughts, a cold laugh sounded in her ear. It was the eldest brother of the Fú family, his voice coarse and menacing: "A main wife for my Fú family? She's not worthy! To say nothing of being a wife, even as a concubine, I find it disgusting just thinking about it!"

  "Marry you? You must be dreaming." It was Lian Tian'er's sharp voice, her small face flushing with anger as she pointed at Fu Zhanqiang, but ultimately still had a hint of fear, her body shrinking cautiously behind Li Shi. "You don't even look at yourself, what kind of thing you are, having killed several wives and now thinking of making me your next target, ugh. Who wants to marry you? I'd rather die than marry you."

  Li's anger was so great that she almost spat out old blood, but she had actually forgotten about Fu Zhanqiang's wife - Fu Zhanqiang is only 22 this year, and has already been engaged three times. The first time was an arranged marriage from childhood, and the wedding was just about to take place when the bride suddenly died the day before the engagement!

  The second marriage was also a good girl, previously healthy and well, after the marriage with the Fú family was settled, on the way to worship, the car had an accident, fell off a cliff.

  The third engagement was still last year's affair, the bride's surname was Zhao. Old Master Fu had spent a lot of effort to get the Zhao family to agree to marry into the Fu family. The Zhao girl was also pleasing to the eye. However, on the eve of the betrothal ceremony that both families had agreed upon, the Zhao girl took a bath and slipped, falling to her death in the bathroom!

  With this, the reputation of Fu Zhanqiang's wife is now nailed down, and it has been spread for dozens of miles that she was a living embodiment. Some say that Fu Zhanqiang was born as an isolated star, and some even say he was the reincarnation of the Demon King, destined to be a lifelong killer of his wives and parents. Look, didn't Madame Fu die early?

  As for Old Master Fu, he's still around, but that's because of his strong fate, who knows when he'll kick the bucket! This matter made Old Master Fu so angry that he almost choked to death, and he turned around to go find his old wife to keep him company!

  No matter how you say it, Fu Zhanqiang's marriage was no longer asked about. Whose daughter is not a relative? Even if the family has thoughts of getting more betrothal gifts, they would never have the idea of sending their own daughter into a fire pit. Old Master Fu was so angry that his heart hurt, but Fu Zhanqiang didn't think it was a big deal and instead comforted his father, "Dad, don't worry, I'm thinking about it, I reckon my marriage fate hasn't arrived yet, the affinity isn't enough."

  But was kicked away by Old Man Fu with his foot.

  What a load of crap!

  Li had just been thinking about the wealth and nobility of the Fu family, which was famous throughout the village. Old Master Fu was a shrewd businessman, and Fu Zhanqiang was a respected leader who could make even the village heads smile when they saw him. If her daughter married into that family, wouldn't it be wonderful? But just as she began to indulge in this fantasy, someone poured a bucket of cold water over her head.

  It's still pouring down like in the depths of winter.

  "Mother, mother, I don't want to marry him, I don't want to die, I don't want him to be responsible for me, waaaah——” Lian Tian'er was so scared that she burst into tears in the end. Looking at Fou Qiu-lian, her eyes were twitching, and when she looked at Fou Zhan-qiang again, she blinked mischievously, with a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes. It turned out that this cheap brother still had some use?

  "Tian'er laughed and said, 'Brother, you can't scare people like that, especially not my little sister.' Fuchaun Lian quickly turned this into a joke and then changed the subject. 'Husband, mother is busy here, why don't we borrow two people from my brother to help clean up things?'"

  "It's all up to you." Lian Qing bowed slightly towards Fu Zhanqiang, "Thanks, Uncle."

  "It's none of your business, I'm not doing it for you. As long as you treat my sister well and my future nephew, don't let those scoundrels bully her again。 Otherwise, humph!" Fú Zhǎnqiáng looked at Lián Qīng with a very unfriendly gaze, actually he was more of "this little rascal stole our family's treasure" kind of sour feeling!

  "Alright, that's it then, Liu. What do you think?" Lian Lao's face was dark, but he couldn't say anything more, and with a stifled breath, he gave Lian Tian'er a warning glance before turning to smile at Liu Li Chang who was sitting beside him, "Brother, take a look, is there anything else you want to say."

  "I'm fine, it's mainly those few nephews, since they all agree, then let's just do it this way." Liu Li Chang smiled and seemed to ignore what had happened earlier, nodding towards Lian Xia and the others, "In that case, the fields of the Lian family will only be ten mu, you four brothers can divide them equally. As for these things at home, wait until they clear out the dowry for San Shu's wife and make a list, then we'll divide them later."

  "What Uncle Liu said is true."

  Zhou smiled and thought it was better to be straightforward at this time, rather than singing a different tune - the inner chamber had already spoken up, the third house also had someone backing them up, even her own husband couldn't overpower them, what could they do?

  Li's fingernails were almost pinched off.

  Looking at Fow's siblings' eyes, they seemed to be about to spit fire.

  If eyes could kill, I don't know how many times Fú Qiūlián brothers and sisters would have died in this instant. Fú Qiūlián directly ignored her, if you want to look then look, being looked at a few more times won't make you lose any flesh.

  Lian Qing's face was slightly cold, her eyebrows raised, as if nothing was wrong, she took a step forward and stood in front of Fu Qiu Lian, smiled faintly, "Mother is looking at my wife like this, do you have something to say? If not, then please don't stare at my wife like this in the future. My wife has a thin face, it will be very embarrassing for her."

  Fú Qiū Lián: Wǒ...

  Fu Zhanqiang looked at Li Shi's dark face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and finally felt a bit relieved, but only a little. He stretched out his hand and slapped Lian Qing's shoulder with a loud "pa", "Brother-in-law, you can't be like this, so weak and frail! I'm starting to doubt whether you're a man or not! From now on, you need to pay attention to exercising your body, it's too weak! My sister is counting on you, how can she if you're like this? A man shouldn't be like this, besides, being too thin won't live long! I don't want my sister to become a widow!"

  Lian Qing: "......" I'm a scholar, not some rough and boorish lout like you!
