Chapter 23: An Unusual Scam
Looking at Liu Zixuan in this state, all the beautiful women turned to Liu Ruyan, wanting to see how she would respond.
Being stared at by so many people, Liu Ruyan’s little face turned red in an instant, and she exclaimed angrily, "Stop shouting nonsense, who is your wife!"
Liu Zixuan rubbed his chin with a smile, "Village Chief Liu, don’t go back on your word, remember we made a bet before, if Huang Youcai comes to me willingly, you have to call me husband every day."
"You!"
Liu Ruyan certainly remembered this, and she was willing to accept the loss, but with so many people around, how could she bring herself to say it out loud?
"Come on, Village Chief, let’s hear you say it."
"Oh wow, the Village Chief looks so cute when she’s shy!"
Everyone joined in the teasing.
"Hu...husband." Liu Ruyan murmured like a mosquito, then pushed Liu Zixuan: "OK, go treat the patient quickly!"
Liu Zixuan chuckled and followed the girl to treat the patient. As the male idol of Lingxiu Village, he naturally had some beauties trailing behind him no matter what he did.
So much so that, even while going to treat a patient, there were seven or eight girls following him, seemingly eager to pounce on him.
When he reached the girl’s house, Liu Zixuan paused for a moment, looking at the two mud houses in front of him, which were old buildings from the last century.
The courtyard walls had collapsed in many places, and the tiles on the house were old and looked like they would fall off at any moment.
What is called poverty, perhaps this is it.
The village is too poor, it seems urgent investment is needed to make developments.
Liu Zixuan thought for a moment, Huang Youcai was only fixing the roads, if houses needed to be built, larger investors might be necessary.
Muttering to himself, he followed the girl inside the house.
Looking at the furnishings inside, they could only be described as simplistic.
"My mom is in the inner room, you can go in alone, just call me if you need anything," the girl said, then turned to everyone: "Everyone can sit in the courtyard for a bit."
The women didn’t tease any longer and began chatting in the courtyard.
Liu Zixuan walked into the inner room, the walls were dark, simplistic but very clean and orderly.
On the mud-bed lay a woman of approximately fifty years, and a somewhat yellowed quilt covered her body; her hair had some gray strands.
Liu Zixuan went forward and asked, "Auntie, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
The woman slowly opened her squinted eyes upon hearing Liu Zixuan, sat up slowly, wearing only a thin piece of clothing. Her figure had been altered by the ravages of time.
After pausing, she slowly said, "Are you Dr. Liu? It’s an old issue, always a pain in my chest area."
"Chest pain?" Liu Zixuan furrowed his brow, then placed his hand on the woman’s wrist and began checking her pulse.
Judging from her appearance, the illness seemed nonexistent, and her pulse was also normal.
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "There’s something not right."
"What is it?" the woman asked.
"I checked your pulse and found no ailment, plus your complexion seems normal."
"That’s impossible."
The woman shook her head, told Liu Zixuan, "You should feel my chest, the heartbeat is much slower than normal!"
Liu Zixuan was puzzled, if there truly was a disease, one could discern it from the facial characteristics and pulse, yet now there is none...
Seeing him contemplate, the woman directly took Liu Zixuan’s hand and placed it on her chest.
"Feel it..."
"Um..."
I’m a very focused doctor, this is a consultation, not merely touching.
Before his hand touched the woman’s skin, suddenly the woman’s expression changed, tussled her hair wildly making it a mess.
Then she tore her collar and shouted outside, "Help, this doctor is being indecent!"
"Come quick, save me!"
What the hell!
When did this young master ever act indecently!
Liu Zixuan widened his eyes, forgetting to retrieve his hand from the woman’s grasp, the door immediately opened, and the previous girl along with some other women rushed in. What they witnessed shocked them.
"This..."
"Could handsome Liu have such strange tastes?"
"Look at Cui Hua’s mother, could handsome Liu really be attracted to her?"
"You villain, I’ll kill you!"
As everyone was gossiping, the girl suddenly grabbed a stick from the side and swung it at Liu Zixuan.
Liu Zixuan swiftly dodged, feeling a cold gust brush past the top of his head.
Retracting his hand, he said to everyone, "I did not act indecently!"
"Everyone saw, his hand just touched my chest, and he tried to do something improper... Village Chief Liu, you must stand up for me."
The woman looked at the door where Liu Ruyan had just entered, and tears streamed out.
Damn it, if you don’t become an actress, it’s such a waste.
Liu Zixuan really felt like swallowing this bitter pill silently, what kind of nonsense is this?
Liu Ruyan stepped forward, her eyes curiously questioning Liu Zixuan, seemingly asking what’s going on.
Liu Zixuan shrugged, "The innocent stay innocent. I was just here to treat the patient."
"But the claims of indecency..."
"Oh, jeez, do I have a screw loose?"
Liu Zixuan grumbled angrily, "Even if I were to act indecently, I’d look for a younger one, wouldn’t I? She’s in her fifties or sixties, am I nuts to be indecent with her?"
"You damned one." After hearing Liu Zixuan’s words, Liu Ruyan and others started doubting her, she immediately rushed over to cling onto Liu Zixuan’s arm.
"You did this to me and now want to deny it!"
Liu Zixuan rubbed his forehead, if the woman before him were a man, he would undoubtedly slap him, making him realize how vast the sky is.
"Cui Hua’s mama, I feel handsome Liu wouldn’t do such a thing."
"Indeed, he said it right, if he were indecent, he’d choose us lovely ones. Besides, we’ve been with him these days, not once did he make any advances on us!"
"He didn’t dare act on you, but seeing me lying here spurred his evil intentions!" Cui Hua’s mama screamed hysterically.

Liu Ruyan looked at Liu Zixuan, then at the awkwardly faced Cui Hua beside, seemingly guessed something, quickly stopped the woman, then asked: "Aunt, please calm down. That said, with things happened, what do you intend to do with him?"
Liu Zixuan blinked: "Hey, this can’t be..."
"Shut your mouth for a moment," scolded Liu Ruyan at Liu Zixuan, but unintentionally also shot him a glance.
Upon hearing, Cui Hua’s mama said, "He touched me, let him marry me."
"Holy crap!"
Liu Zixuan cursed, is this an alternative way of fraud?
