Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!

Zhao Dazhu hurried over and placed the gifts he had bought for Li Yujiao that day in front of her.

"I didn't want to come back so late either, but something happened on the way and I was delayed... We'll talk about that later. Yujiao, look, I bought you a lot of things."

Zhao Dazhu said with a smile, and helped Li Yujiao unpack the various boxes.

Li Yujiao was just angry, but now her face showed surprise and joy, and her big, bright eyes began to sparkle.

Face cream, lipstick, perfume, lingerie...

These are all things she wanted!

And these things are all designer brands, each worth several hundred dollars!

"So many, and all so expensive..."

Li Yujiao held the face cream and lipstick and said in disbelief.

"I sold the purple Ganoderma lucidum and got the money, so I bought them all for you. Do you like them?"

Zhao Dazhu asked.

"I love it! Of course I love it! What woman wouldn't like these things?"

Li Yujiao said happily, then leaned over and kissed Zhao Dazhu's old face.

Zhao Dazhu was eager to help, so he urged, "Yujiao, take these things inside, change what needs to be changed, and use what needs to be used. Let this old man see the effect."

Li Yujiao nodded and ran into the room carrying the large pile of things.

Zhao Dazhu followed excitedly, but as soon as they reached the door, Li Yujiao slammed it shut.

He couldn't brake in time and crashed headfirst into the door, his nose stinging and tears welling up in his eyes.

"Yu Jiao, what are you doing?"

Zhao Dazhu covered his nose and said.

"Don't rush, wait for me outside. Come in after I've changed."

Li Yujiao said shyly from inside.

"I've seen everything on you, things I shouldn't have, so what are you embarrassed about?"

Zhao Dazhu said, sounding like he was grumbling.

"Anyway, you're not allowed in. You can come in after I let you in..."

Li Yujiao fell silent before she could finish speaking.

Zhao Dazhu pressed his ear to the door and heard the rustling sound of clothes being taken off coming from inside the room.

Zhao Dazhu was incredibly curious, his heart itching as if a swarm of ants were crawling all over him.

He would glance at the old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall every now and then, feeling that time was passing very slowly, as if each second felt like a year.

It's unclear how much time passed before Li Yujiao's shy voice finally came from inside the room.

"I'm all better now, you... come in..."

Zhao Dazhu had wanted to go in for a long time, so the moment he heard the sound, he turned the doorknob and rushed into the room.

Li Yujiao's bright red lips looked as if they were smeared with blood; the vivid red color was so mesmerizing.

"Is it...pretty?" Li Yujiao asked shyly.

"Beautiful, so beautiful! I've lived most of my life and never seen a woman as beautiful as you. I'd die on your belly and it would be worth it!"

After a pause, Zhao Dazhu added, "This money was well spent, absolutely worth it!"

Zhao Dazhu was so excited that his whole body trembled and his lips quivered. As he spoke, he lunged forward.

Li Yujiao's surprised exclamation, tinged with laughter, immediately filled the room.

Zhao Dazhu originally wanted to share his encounter with Qi Gaolan, the female county head, with Li Yujiao, but he couldn't care less about that now.

He devoted all his energy to this woman, as if he were using up the rest of his life in advance.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

……

Early the next morning.

As soon as Zhao Dazhu opened his eyes, he saw that Li Yujiao had woken up and was lying on her side, smiling at him with her hand supporting her cheek.

Li Yujiao even reached out and touched Zhao Dazhu's beard, as if she were playing with a toy.

"Yu Jiao, you were really something last night... I almost lost my life because of you."

Zhao Dazhu smacked his lips, still savoring the moment.

Li Yujiao suddenly pinched Zhao Dazhu's mustache and tugged at it, causing Zhao Dazhu to cry out in pain.

"Don't pretend you got the better deal. You tormented me for so long last night, I was the one who was really exhausted. I probably won't even be able to walk properly today."

Li Yujiao said coquettishly.

"Did I hurt you? Let me rub it for you..."

As Zhao Dazhu spoke, he reached out his salted pig's hand, but Li Yujiao slapped it away.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Zhao Dazhu finally got down to business.

"Yu Jiao, last night I ran into a high-ranking official on Central Street in the county town. Can you guess who she is?"

Zhao Dazhu said mysteriously.

"Stop bragging, what kind of high-ranking leader could you possibly meet?"

Li Yujiao said in an annoyed tone.

"I really met one, a really, really high-ranking leader. I guarantee you'll be shocked when I tell you!"

Zhao Dazhu said.

"Then tell me, who is it?" Li Yujiao asked with a smile.

"Our female county head of Peach Blossom County, Qi Gaolan!"

Upon hearing Zhao Dazhu's words, Li Yujiao's eyes widened immediately.

She couldn't even lie still anymore, and suddenly sat up, the blanket slipping off her shoulders.

So her beautiful body was suddenly presented before Zhao Dazhu's eyes, making him tremble with desire.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Zhao Dazhu pulled the blanket up to cover Li Yujiao's body and continued, "I'm not joking. I'm telling the truth. County Chief Qi collapsed on the roadside due to low blood pressure. I happened to see her and treated her."

"When Qi Xian woke up, she was very grateful to me, but her wallet and phone were gone, so I called a ride-hailing service to take her home..."

Li Yujiao interrupted, "Wait, how do you know she's Qi Gaolan, the female county head of our county? What if she's lying to you?"

"She showed me her work ID," Zhao Dazhu said.

Before Li Yujiao could ask any more questions, Zhao Dazhu grabbed his clothes, took out Qi Gaolan's business card from his pocket, and stuffed it into Li Yujiao's hand.

"Look, she even gave me her business card, and she said that if I encounter any difficulties in the future, I can contact her and she will do her best to help me," Zhao Dazhu said excitedly.

Holding the business card, Li Yujiao couldn't help but say, "If this is true, then you've truly met a benefactor!"

"Who can argue with that?"

Zhao Dazhu chuckled and continued, "Yujiao, our good days are just around the corner. You won't have to live in fear anymore! Once Chen Xiuling and I have gathered all the evidence against Wang Jianguo—at least most of it—I'll call County Chief Qi and report this damn village chief!"
