"Little Shan, are you there? Open the door for your auntie."
"It’s Auntie Xiang i, open up quickly, your auntie has so secret words to tell you."
The visitor was none other than the widow, Su Xiangi.
After seeing how much Zhang Xiaoshan helped Luo ili today, she realized that Zhang Xiaoshan was still very interested in widows, and therefore, there was still hope for her to bear him a son.
She guessed that Zhang Xiaoshan refused just because he was shy, so she ca again quietly at night.
"Don’t worry, auntie ca here stealthily; no one saw . Will you just help out?"
"Rest assured, no third person will know about this; it’s our secret."
If Li Ya heard this, she would probably be furious with jealousy.
How could she ever imagine that her only kin would beco her romantic rival?
Widow Su stood at the door and called softly for a while but saw no response, which made her anxious. She moved to the window at the back of the house and shone her flashlight through the glass into the room.
The bed was empty; there was no sign of anyone.
"Not here?"
A look of disappointnt imdiately crossed her face.
It seed that there was no way to secure Zhang Xiaoshan tonight.
"If he’s not in the clinic, where could he have gone?"
Widow Su had done her howork for tonight’s endeavor; she’d specifically visited Zhang Xiaoshan’s ho beforehand to make sure that only Yu Xiuxiu was there before coming here.
But now, with the clinic empty, where could Zhang Xiaoshan have gone?
Soon, the image of Zhang Xiaoshan defending Luo ili during the day ca to her mind.
"Could he have gone to see Luo ili? I always felt there was sothing between them..."
Without delay, Widow Su turned around and headed towards Luo ili’s house, ready to catch them in the act.
...
Inside Luo ili’s ho.
Zhang Xiaoshan had just finished another fierce battle with Luo ili and was lying down to rest.
Rembering the shaful acts that Zhang Xiaoshan had asked her to perform, Luo ili’s cheeks burned with embarrassnt.
"You bad boy, always bullying ."
Luo ili curled up like a little kitten in Zhang Xiaoshan’s embrace, absentmindedly drawing circles on his chest with one hand.
"If you feel I’m bullying you, then I just won’t co anymore."
"Hey, don’t stop coming, I was just joking with you!" Luo ili beca anxious at the thought of Zhang Xiaoshan not visiting anymore.
"That’s more like it."
"Alright, let’s talk business. What did you want to see about last night?"
Zhang Xiaoshan had taken a little rest and now began to question Luo ili.
When the conversation turned to serious matters, Luo ili’s expression beca much more solemn, as she tidied her disheveled hair and explained to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"It’s about the purchasing station. A few days ago, Jia Lanhua already ca to inform at my ho. Wu Yong and his group went to find Wu Damming, asking him to support them in opening a purchasing station to compete with for business. Wu Damming has already made his stance clear. As a widow, I am helpless and can’t fight them, so I ca to discuss it with you."
"Wu Damming agreed? No wonder Wu Yong and his group are so brazen."
Zhang Xiaoshan understood.
In White Dragon Village, far from the emperor, Wu Damming, as the village head and Clan Leader of the village’s most prominent Wu family, held absolute authority over all village affairs.
Once Wu Damming took a stance, things would beco very difficult.
"Don’t worry, the villagers are clear about the shenanigans of Wu Yong and his mother Zhang Yulian; public sentint is definitely with you. They can only resort to despicable tactics like they did today. As long as I am here, I won’t let them hurt you."
"No!"
Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan’s words, Luo ili grew even more anxious.
"Today was too dangerous. What if sothing happens to you? Don’t fight with them anymore. If anything were to happen to you, how would I go on living?"
Luo ili spoke with genuine concern.
She may seem loose in manners, but at heart, she was a very conservative and traditional woman. Ever since her man had passed away, she had remained chaste until she t Zhang Xiaoshan. By now, she had co to regard Zhang Xiaoshan as her man, especially after today’s events; she valued him greatly.
"Little Shan, I’ve saved up so money over the years. Why don’t you co with ? I have a nice house in the city, and I can help you set up a clinic there. We can live in the city and never have to co back to this place."
Zhang Xiaoshan was taken aback when he heard Luo ili’s words.
