Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Lightning Strikes and Earthly Fire
"The reason for being hot-tempered is there, I guess it’s just inborn."
"Yeah, what can you do if it’s inborn? Dr. Liu, can you change that for me later on? Cure me of this ailment."
Liu Zheng looked at the beautiful young woman before him and thought to himself, "Curing you means putting out your fire.
"Since it’s inborn, it can’t be cured."
At that moment, Liu Zheng gave Zhang Cuihua a thorough once-over.
He turned his gaze towards the door and suddenly asked, "Zhang Cuihua, did you lock the door outside?"
At that point, Zhang Cuihua sat up again, leaning in close, and Liu Zheng said, "Yes, why wouldn’t a handsome young man like me lock the door? What else would I come here for today? Surely not just to chat with you?"
Liu Zheng was already tempted to the point of losing his soul, and at that moment, he almost wanted to pin Zhang Cuihua down on the bed, but his reason told him, he couldn’t let anything happen between them just yet.
After all, Zhang Cuihua had come for a medical consultation today and might need to explain herself to Liu Baishun later.
If Liu Baishun were to find out, he would certainly latch onto that leverage.
In that moment, Liu Zheng began to shake his head and fan himself incessantly.
Zhang Cuihua observed his state and thought that the man before her seemed almost like a madman, suddenly striking himself, but she could tell that Liu Zheng was already losing control and just needed a little more fuel to ignite him.
Zhang Cuihua leaned forward slightly, closing to just a few millimeters away from Liu Zheng.
She extended her slender hand into the inner side of Liu Zheng’s shirt.
With his eyes tightly shut, Liu Zheng continued to shake his head, saying, "No, no, no."
But Zhang Cuihua didn’t care about Liu Zheng’s protests, and now she whispered in his ear, "Handsome guy, why endure? Enduring isn’t good for your body. I think you don’t need to treat me today. I know how to cure my ailment, and it requires a wild man to really heal me."
Hearing this, Liu Zheng couldn’t hold back any longer, and placing his hands on Zhang Cuihua’s shoulders, he pushed her forcefully against the headboard.
Caught off guard by his sudden move, Zhang Cuihua didn’t know how to react.
Although she wanted something to happen with Liu Zheng, his current state took her by surprise.
Youth is just youth, they really do have the strength, Zhang Cuihua thought to herself, keeping silent.
She wanted to see what exactly Liu Zheng was going to do. At that moment, she took out her phone ready to make a call, because it was the perfect opportunity.
However, Liu Zheng had no inappropriate intentions and just lay on top of her without making a move.
She nudged Liu Zheng, but he didn’t budge, not because he didn’t want to move, but because he too was struggling with whether or not to take action.
But perhaps it had been a long time since Zhang Cuihua had touched a man, and she now felt a reaction stirring next to her, feeling a sudden warmth and dampness beneath her.
Suddenly, she turned her head to look at the man in front of her,
And Liu Zheng also looked back at Zhang Cuihua, their gazes sparking the flames of love.
At this moment, Liu Zheng’s hands began to wander uncontrollably, and to his surprise, Zhang Cuihua also closed her eyes, allowing him to freely explore her body.
Then, Liu Zheng suddenly stood up, took off his coat, and with a swift motion, picked up Zhang Cuihua and headed towards his bedroom.
Before leaving, Zhang Cuihua tossed her cellphone onto the ground. At this point, she had no intention of calling her father-in-law, Liu Baishun, as she too wanted to enjoy this moment of pleasure.
Meanwhile, Liu Baishun was not idly sitting by either.
He began to gather his allies, making calls to his brothers of the same lineage and his descendants. Within a short time, ten people had already arrived at Liu Baishun’s home.
Liu Baishun was smug, feeling certain that there would be no problems today. He was determined to bring Liu Zheng to justice, tarnish his reputation, and make it impossible for him to stay in the village. As for the land in the village, he had no intention of letting Liu Zheng contract it. Instead, Liu Baishun planned to re-contract the land himself and grow medicinal herbs on it.
The idea, in fact, had originally come from Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and recently, the prices of medicinal herbs had risen sharply. Liu Zheng wanted to use the land to grow herbs and make a profit, considering that not many people in the village came to him for treatment anymore, as most went to hospitals.
To them, Liu Zheng’s type of traditional medicine was simply not very appealing.
Nevertheless, Liu Zheng did not give up. He actively promoted the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine in the village, and gradually, some people, including several young wives, came to see him for treatment.
The land was originally used for growing crops, but Liu Zheng’s innovative initiative caught the attention of other villages and even the town officials. They were planning to allocate some funds to him, along with subsidies. However, this land, initially managed by Liu Baishun, was preemptively taken over by Liu Zheng.
So Liu Baishun wanted to drive Liu Zheng away and seize all the rights to the land’s subsidies and cultivation for himself.
At this time, he believed that his daughter-in-law, Zhang Cuihua, would not be a problem, convinced that money was omnipotent in this world and knowing her love for money, he felt certain she would not miss this opportunity.
Now the dozen or so people had fully assembled, though they had no clue why Liu Baishun had summoned them. Liu Baishun sat in the main hall’s seat, hands on his knees, announcing, "I’ve called you here today because we have some matters to discuss."
His cousin, sitting at the front, immediately asked, "Big brother, what’s the matter? Has someone been giving us trouble? We’re a prominent family in the village, we’ll deal with anyone who disrespects us."
Liu Baishun nodded his head and then shook it.
Taking action was inevitable, but they couldn’t be as reckless as they used to be.
His words caused confusion among his followers; after all, their previous actions were indeed quite rough. Whenever someone crossed them, they would grab a shovel and stir up trouble at the offender’s house. They were known as the village bullies, but with the recent crackdowns, they had to keep their heads down.
Liu Baishun may have been nefarious, but he was not stupid. After all, he had been the village chief for many years and was very sensitive to external matters.
That’s why he had summoned these people without giving them any prior details, fearing they might leak the plan and cause trouble at Liu Zheng’s house.
He surveyed the room, then stood up and said, "Today we’re heading to Liu Zheng’s house, but right now we can’t just barge in. I’m waiting for a signal on my end."
"Signal? What signal?"
Asked one of the younger men with the "Sun" surname.
"Looks like it’s going to be a major move this time!"
He continued.
However, Liu Baishun just smiled.
