Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!

"Why are you asking? Of course I'm... I'm... thanking you."

Lu Jinfeng said somewhat shyly, her cheeks flushed red.

Although she blushed with embarrassment, Lü Jinfeng's hands moved quickly.

Zhao Dazhu was a little flustered, after all, this was neither at home nor in a hotel.

He hurriedly looked around, afraid of being seen.

But Zhao Dazhu wasn't worried about his own reputation; he was worried about Li Yujiao.

If word gets out that he's having affairs with other women and Li Yujiao finds out, how can he and Li Yujiao get along peacefully?

Seeing Zhao Dazhu's flustered appearance, Lü Jinfeng burst out laughing.

"I'm a woman and I'm not afraid, so what do you, a grown man, have to be afraid of?" Lu Jinfeng asked.

Zhao Dazhu blurted out, "How could I not be afraid? I don't want Yu Jiao to find out..."

"What does she know? Isn't she your nanny?" Lu Jinfeng asked, puzzled.

Suddenly realizing something, Lü Jinfeng let out a soft exclamation: "Could it be that you and Li Yujiao are having an affair? Yes, yes, yes, that must be it, otherwise why would she inexplicably move into your house! Even if she's a housekeeper, she shouldn't actually be living with an old man like you!"

"Don't talk nonsense. There's nothing between Yu Jiao and me. She just had nowhere else to stay, so she stayed at my house," Zhao Dazhu argued.

Lu Jinfeng didn't say anything more, but she gave Zhao Dazhu a mocking look, as if to say to him: You think I would believe your nonsense?

The two finished in no time.

"My husband absolutely must not know about our relationship," Lü Jinfeng said.

"That's for sure." Zhao Dazhu nodded repeatedly without thinking.

Lu Jinfeng got up from the ground, and Zhao Dazhu then took out his wallet and pulled out eight bright red banknotes.

"Here, this is your living expenses for this week," Zhao Dazhu said.

However, Lü Jinfeng did not accept the money. She shook her head shyly and said, "You have already examined and treated my husband, and even saved his life. How could I possibly accept your money... Let it go this time. I served you voluntarily."

At this point, Lü Jinfeng's face turned so red it was almost bleeding.

Zhao Dazhu insisted, "That won't do. I can't just take your body for nothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Dazhu forcefully stuffed eight hundred yuan into Lü Jinfeng's hand.

Moreover, he didn't give Lü Jinfeng a chance to refuse and ran away immediately.

Watching Zhao Dazhu's hurried departure, Lü Jinfeng's expression was extremely complex, a mixture of shyness, emotion, shame, and embarrassment.

As soon as Zhao Dazhu got home, Li Yujiao asked curiously, "How's Lü Jie?"

Zhao Dazhu gave a brief explanation and then tried to get into bed, but Li Yujiao suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" and raised a slender hand to take a long straw off Zhao Dazhu's body.

"How come you have this on your body? It's here, it's here, and I think it's under your armpits too..."

Li Yujiao found several straws in Zhao Dazhu's clothes one after another, and then cast a suspicious look at him.

Zhao Dazhu rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "On the way back, a motorcycle came towards me. Its headlights blinded me, and I lost my footing and tumbled into a haystack."

"Really?" Li Yujiao asked.

"Of course it's true, otherwise how would I have this stuff on me... Oh right, wait a minute, I'm going to take a shower. I rolled around in the haystack and got covered in dirt and straw, I can't leave without washing it off."

After saying that, Zhao Dazhu laughed awkwardly a few times, then turned and ran towards the bathroom.

Li Yujiao sat up in bed, looking at the wheat stalk in her hand, her suspicion deepening.

"Could that old man be rolling around in a haystack with another woman?"

"But besides that widow Wang Caixia, who else would want this old geezer? Besides, Wang Caixia went back to her parents' house this afternoon and won't be in the village tonight... Am I overthinking things?"

Li Yujiao muttered to herself, her brows furrowed tightly.

In the morning, Zhao Dazhu borrowed a farm tricycle from the village, drove it to the fields, and cleared away all the cherry tomato vines.

Then he returned the tricycle, carried a hoe, and tilled the two acres of farmland.

In the past, this job would have taken him three days, let alone a day.

But now, he not only finished the job in one morning, but he also didn't feel tired. On the contrary, he felt very refreshed after sweating profusely.

After returning home, taking a shower, and having lunch, Zhao Dazhu picked up his basket and set off for the back mountain of Xinghua Village.

His trip to the back mountain was partly to find the Black Jade Three-Leaf Flower for Lü Jie, and partly to find rare and precious Chinese medicinal herbs for himself.

Because Zhao Dazhu has decided that he will no longer use the quick-growth powder and the spirit-nurturing technique to accelerate the growth of crops.

In other words, he doesn't plan to make money by farming anymore.

Although growing cherry tomatoes was very profitable, earning 80,000 yuan in less than a month, it not only paid off the online loans but also left some money.
