Chapter 311 - Why Are You Looking At Me Like That?

"There is no need to worry," said Doctor Gu as he finished dressing Lin Jing's injuries " though the wounds look severe they are more or less surface wounds nothing else. It's just that Xiao Jing was scratched in several places which is why it looks serious than it is." then he patted Lin Jing on the shoulder and grinned " Xiao Jing is a young and sturdy man, he will be up and about in no time, just keep dressing his wound in every three to for hours after cleaning it. And make sure that he doesn't let his wounds fester, it will be better if he only wipes his body for the next fourteen days until his wounds start forming new skin. Here take this prescription and remember to rub it on his injuries until they completely heal"

Doctor Gu had arrived at their house a couple of minutes after Lin Rui's departure, so before Lin Rui could return, Doctor Gu had cleaned the rotten flesh and wounds on Lin Jing's body. 

" thank you, Doctor Gu, I don't know how to thank you," said Mother Lin as she took the prescription.

" oh there is no need to thank me," said Doctor Gu while packing up his things " we are from one village, it goes without saying that I will help your family when you need my help.  It's the least amount of gratefulness I can show after all Xiao Jing got hurt because he went up to the mountains to ensure the safety of the villagers, right? Then ensuring his safety is my responsibility as the only doctor of the village "

" you are too kind Doctor Gu," said Lin Jing as he stood up straight and bowed to Doctor Gu.

"There is no need to do such a thing " repeated Doctor as he waved away Lin Jing's formal show of gratitude " like I said we are from one village and your father is my friend which makes you my nephew. When did you see a nephew make such a big show just because his uncle treated a few of his injuries? Aren't you treating me like an outsider by doing this you naughty boy !"

Doctor Gu and Father Lin were friends from a young age, despite the differences in their family background, the two remained friends for a long time, it could br said that after Father Lin and mother Lin, the first person to hold the brothers when they were born was Doctor Gu, which was why Doctor Gu often worried about Lin Jing and his brothers like a second father. Thus, when he heard that Lin Jing got injured after going up the mountain to set traps, no one had to call for Doctor Gu, the honest old doctor rushed to treat Lin Jing even after dealing with quite a number of patients throughout the night at the town because of the growing winter. 

Su Wan and the others laughed when they heard Doctor Gu call Lin Jing a naughty boy because Lin Jing was the oldest and he was so calm and tolerant, mother Lin and father Lin hardly got the chance to scold him, thus, such a scene where Lin Jing rubbed his nose guiltily with an elder standing in front with a disapproving gaze was hard to come by.

Su Wan looked at the sight in front of her and thought about it a little before turning around and running to the spring room. Doctor Gu has really helped them out, so she would make sure to repay his gratitude properly! 

" Alright then I will be leaving, " Su Wan heard Doctor Gu say as she returned after picking up some green vegetables from their vegetable patch. 

Seeing that he was going to leave Su Wan picked up her pace because she was in a hurry she didn't even tie the bundle of vegetables properly and spent a good amount of time wrapping them up.

" Doctor Gu, Doctor Gu! " called Su Wan from behind stopping Doctor Gu from leaving "  Here, Doctor Gu take these chives and garlic, you can ask Aunty Gu to make you some chive dumpling this winter! piping-hot dumplings are the best for such cold weather"

Doctor Gu hesitated then shook his head " Lin wife, you don't need to give me these things. Didn't your mother already pay me for the treatment? Then why give these precious vegetables to me? I have heard from the villagers your vegetables are sold for a rather good price, keep them for yourself "

Su Wan blinked and pouted as she complained " Doctor Gu didn't you say that we are like one family and that my husbands are your nephews? So by this logic am I not your nephew's wife - can I not give my uncle even a bundle of vegetables? To keep such good things at home and not give them to our elders isn't is being unfilial ?"

For a while, Doctor Gu was stunned before he burst out laughing as he slapped Lin Yan on the back who came to accompany him to the door " your wife is really smart huh! She outsmarted me with my own words, haha! This child, you really didn't need to go through so much trouble for this old man but now that you have brought them, I can't possibly refuse. Okay, I will take these and ask your Aunty to cook some dumplings for me !"

Doctor Gu took the vegetable bundle with him and happily went away. Lin Yan who sent him off also looked at Su Wan in an extremely doting manner making her blush, she couldn't help but complain shyly " what are you looking at like that? I - I just did what I was supposed to do.  Doctor Gu treats our family really well, we shouldn't always take advantage of him, right ?"

"Hmm, Wife is always right, " said Lin Yan good-naturedly, making Su Wan surprised at his friendly tone actually no one could blame Su Wan for reacting like this, ever since she came to the Lin family, Lin Yan have hardly agreed with her and that too so easily! Looking at her surprised expression Lin Yan unhappily poked her forehead " why are you looking at me like this? Is it so surprising that I agreed with you? "

" that-" Su Wan began but before she could say anything, Lin Rui who just returned home brush past them. He didn't even look back and walked without even stopping once leaving both Su Wan and Lin Yan shocked. What was this? Why was the gentle puppy of the Lin family acting like someone stole his bone!
