Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 49: A rough man with a fierce mouth but a soft heart vs. a beautiful young intellectual (7)

Lu Huai paused in chopping wood. The little girl's soft voice was so pleasant to the ear that his heart felt like it was gently brushed by a feather.

"Yeah," he replied softly, "dinner is ready, you guys eat first."

"Okay." Shen Shuyi withdrew his gaze from Lu Huai's arm.

She washed her hands and ate with Yingzi. When Grandma Lu was bedridden, it was often Yingzi who brought her dinner.

Shen Shuyi was full and said to Yingzi, "It's getting late. Yingzi, you and grandma should rest first. I'll wash the dishes."

Yingzi wanted to serve her grandmother, so she got up quickly and went into the house.

Shen Shuyi put the food left for Lu Huai in the pot to keep it warm, then washed the dishes and went into the room to pack up.

After a tiring day, she just wanted to take a good bath and go to sleep. It would be great if she had a bathtub so she could take a soaking bath.

Shen Shuyi walked towards the bathroom with clothes, lifted the bamboo curtain and pushed the door open. With a "creak", she saw a man's thin upper body.

"what--"

"I!"

"sorry!"

Shen Shuyi immediately turned her back. She didn't expect Lu Huai to be inside, nor did she expect the door to be not closed tightly.

Lu Huai had just finished taking a shower and was getting dressed. His hair was still wet. He had already put on his pants, but he didn't have time to cover his upper body.

Shen Shuyi turned his back and walked out. Lu Huai's appearance was still reappearing in his mind. Water drops dripped from his hair onto his lean and powerful abdominal muscles, with a refreshing and cool moisture and the smell of soap nuts.
Lu Huai put on his clothes quickly, his brows furrowed.

She just screamed, probably because she was scared.

He walked to the door and raised his hand to check the door lock. It turned out to be broken. He immediately took the tools to fix the door.

After dinner, there was still no movement in the next room.

Lu Huai washed the dishes and saw that it was getting dark, so he frowned and went to knock on the door next door.

"Who?"

"I am Lu Huai."

Shen Shuyi walked over and opened the door. When she looked up, she bumped into the man's resolute and cold face. He was so tall that he was almost level with the top of the door.

Thinking of his lean and powerful abdominal muscles and arms with bulging veins, she felt an invisible sense of oppression.

Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes slightly and asked, "Comrade Lu, what's wrong?"

Lu Huai suddenly felt that the educated youth in front of him was particularly petite and pretty. As soon as she came to the village, some dishonest farmers talked about her face and figure, and even said some obscene words that were unbearable to hear, but he did not have the slightest lustful thought towards the educated youth in front of him.

She seemed really frightened and didn't dare to look at him, her snow-white fingers curled up nervously.

"The bathroom door has been repaired." As they were alone with each other, Lu Huai had no intention of staying in front of her door for long. He just said this and left.

Shen Shuyi glanced at Lu Huai's back, raised his eyebrows and smiled. He was quite upright.

……

In the next few days, Shen Shuyi and Lu Huai got along in a distant yet familiar manner, and there was no major fluctuation for the time being. She checked her favorability value and it was already 20%.

The autumn harvest entered its final stage and the educated youth also had a day off.

When Shen Shuyi was in the brigade, she never concealed the fact that she knew a little about medicine. Last time, when Dong Lanzhen, the educated youth, accidentally cut her hand while cutting crops, and the bleeding wouldn't stop. It was she who found some hemostatic herbs in the fields and bandaged her hand to help her stop the bleeding. This move immediately attracted people's attention.

Cheng Wanqin and Wang Chuzhe had known Shen Shuyi for so long, but had never heard that she knew anything about medicine.

Shen Shuyi only thought that she had learned some superficial knowledge from her grandfather, and no one would doubt it. Later, some people would come to Shen Shuyi to see if they had minor illnesses, such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, in order to save money. Shen Shuyi did not refuse and cured the disease with medicine. She was relatively low-key, and no one would report anything, after all, this place was relatively remote.

She showed this skill mainly to save Grandma Lu. According to the development of the previous life, Grandma Lu will die of illness in a month. After Grandma Lu's death, Lu Huai will become even more cold-hearted, and it will be difficult for her to capture her at that time. Grandma Lu's disease is not a terminal illness, but Red Star Village is too backward to be cured.

Shen Shuyi has the medical skills memory from his previous life and is confident that he can cure Grandma Lu.

On the morning of the first day of rest, Shen Shuyi stopped Lu Huai who was going into the mountains to hunt, "Comrade Lu, I know a little bit about medicine, how about I go and see Grandma Lu?"

Lu Huai stopped walking, frowned, and finally said, "Okay, but I'll pay you as much as you deserve."

"That won't do. I'm just staying at your house, so I have to charge you half of what you paid me. Besides, I'm not a doctor. I just check on the people around me occasionally."

Lu Huai put down the homemade bow and arrow in his hand and took Shen Shuyi to Grandma Lu's room.

He didn't have much hope at first, he just wanted to work hard to earn more money and use medicine to keep his grandmother alive.

But seeing Shen Shuyi's sincere eyes, he accepted the kindness.

Shen Shuyi used acupuncture treatment. The silver needles were exchanged from the system. He first took Grandma Lu's pulse and then performed acupuncture.

During this period, Grandma Lu was in a daze and not very conscious. She thought that her grandson had called the village doctor.

Lu Huai looked at Shen Shuyi's skillful and neat appearance, and her serious and beautiful profile, and a strange emotion arose in his heart.

After a set of acupuncture, when Shen Shuyi put away the silver needles, Grandma Lu was surprisingly much more awake. She looked at Shen Shuyi in surprise, then looked up at Lu Huai.

"Huaizi, what happened?"

Lu Huai helped Grandma Lu sit up, "Grandma, Shen Zhiqing just treated you."

Grandma Lu was not fully conscious yet, so Lu Huai asked Yingzi to take good care of her and then took Shen Shuyi out.

Shen Shuyi said, "Are you free tomorrow? I want to go to town to get some medicine for Grandma Lu."

"Well, I'll go with you." Lu Huai took out money from his pocket and gave it to Shen Shuyi, "Thank you so much this time."

Shen Shuyi declined, "You can pay for the medicine tomorrow. If you really want to thank me, help me make a big bathtub after the autumn harvest. I remember Yingzi said you can do carpentry."

"Okay." Lu Huai didn't say much, and quickly took his bow and arrow to go into the mountains to hunt. If he caught any prey, he could take it to town and sell it tomorrow.

……

Shen Shuyi got up early in the morning. After washing, she pushed her hair to one side of her neck into a pigtail and went out, only to find that Lu Huai was there earlier than her.

"Morning, Comrade Lu."

Lu Huai glanced at her and looked away, "Let's go."

However, as he looked at the dim sky, Shen Shuyi's appearance just now flashed through his mind.

The little face is pretty, the eyelashes are trembling, and the eyes seem to be able to speak.

They arrived very early, so they didn't meet anyone from the same village on the way to the town.

Lu Huai led her to the town, stuffed a handful of money into her hand and left in a hurry. "The clinic is just ahead. Buy whatever medicine you need first. If you don't have enough money, you can buy it on credit in my name. The doctor knows me."

"Hey, where are you going?" Shen Shuyi saw him hurriedly walking away with a large bag of prey on his back, and did not answer her question at all.

Shen Shuyi guessed that he had gone to the black market to sell prey. This was a way for him to make money to treat Grandma Lu's illness. Forget it, I'll go find him after I've purchased the goods.

She first went to the pharmacy to get a course of Chinese medicine, and then went straight to the black market to find Lu Huai.

The prices of black market items are generally higher than official prices due to channel restrictions, imbalance between supply and demand, information asymmetry, risk costs and other reasons, so she wanted to see if she could find a way to make money in the black market.

The black market is not so easy to find. This place is very mobile to avoid detection. Shen Shuyi did not dare to ask strangers rashly, so he had to follow the route provided by the system.
