Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 4: Chapter 4 The Filial Ling Xiu



He Lingxiu's father had only her as a child. Her mother had passed away early. Since her father fell gravely ill, He Lingxiu had stopped going to the factory to work and stayed at home to take care of her sick father.

She was a filial daughter. When her father first fell ill, he indicated that he did not need treatment. However, He Lingxiu insisted on treating her father again and again. She not only spent all the family's savings but also took out high-interest loans from Wu Laosi.

Now, her family was struck by one disaster after another. Not only had her father's illness not improved, but they also owed a huge debt. Wu Laosi even came to their door to force a marriage.

How could He Lingxiu, such a frail woman, bear all these blows?

Just when she felt the loneliest and most helpless, Ling Zhenfei seemed to have become her only support.

Yet, Ling Zhenfei's own family was also struggling. How could he possibly have her?

In the He Family's courtyard, He Lingxiu was full of worry. Looking at her father, who was seriously ill inside the house, her heart ached as if it were being sliced with a knife.

Bang!

She was about to prepare some herbal medicine for her father when she suddenly heard the courtyard door being kicked open rudely.

At the same time, an extremely loathsome voice came from outside the courtyard, "Hehe, Xiu'er, the three-day deadline I gave you has passed, how have you decided? If you keep reneging on me, you can't blame Mr. Wu for taking a bride by force today!"

After learning about the desperate situation He Lingxiu faced, Ling Zhenfei felt frantic and rushed to the He Family's home as fast as he could.

"You shitty woman, you dare go back on your word? Do you really think I, Fourth Brother, am easy to provoke? You didn't even go to Guanqian Town to check, did you? I, Wu Laosi, am known for lending money at high interest rates. Since you can't pay back the debt, you'll have to pay with your body! Take her away!"

Just as Ling Zhenfei was rushing to the outside of the He Family's gate, he heard the sound of dishes and bowls being smashed inside the house, amidst which was the voice of a man hoarse as a crow.

Needless to say, the person speaking was Wu Laosi, the loan shark from the town known for devouring people without spitting out their bones.

"What are you doing... Let go of my Xiu'er! Cough cough... If you have any issues, just come at me, this old bag of bones!"

In the courtyard, Wu Laosi was directing his two henchmen to drag He Lingxiu out, and Father He was shocked. He tried to step forward to stop them, but Wu Laosi slapped him down to the ground.

Wu Laosi cursed, "Pah, you old bastard, nearly half-buried in the grave and still daring to stop me! I'll beat you to death!"

"Don't hit my dad!"

He Lingxiu, being pulled by two Big Men, saw her father getting hit and, summoning strength from somewhere, broke free from their grasp. She rushed over and viciously bit Wu Laosi, who was about to kick her father.

"Ah... You wretched girl, were you mothered by a dog?"

Wu Laosi was caught off guard and almost had a chunk of flesh bitten off by He Lingxiu. Engulfed in furious embarrassment, he pushed He Lingxiu to the ground, raising his foot to kick her.

Whoosh!

Just as Wu Laosi's foot kicked forward, a figure had already shot into the courtyard like lightning.

Thump!

In the next split second, as fast as lightning striking flint, Wu Laosi's body was sent flying by a punch from the newcomer.

"Brother Afei!"

He Lingxiu, suddenly seeing that the person was Ling Zhenfei, was both shocked and overjoyed, and burst into tears as she threw herself into his arms.

Although Ling Zhenfei didn't use much force in his kick, he had kicked Wu Laosi hard enough to leave him disoriented. With the help of his two henchmen, Wu Laosi managed to get up, wheezing and panting.

He recognized the person who intervened as Ling Zhenfei, and in a rage, he pointed at Ling Zhenfei and cursed, "Kid, this has nothing to do with you, mind your damn business!"

"Axiu, don't worry, I'm here!" Ling Zhenfei gently patted He Lingxiu's shoulder, comforting her with a warm voice.

After helping Father He up, Ling Zhenfei then turned around, giving Wu Laosi, who was still arrogantly shouting, a cold stare, "Wu Laosi, you can still bark now, it seems I went too easy on you earlier. If you don't scram, I'll make sure you lie in bed for three months without being able to stand!"

Guanqian Town was only a few miles from Qinghe Village, and Ling Zhenfei's reputation as a formidable fighter in the village was something Wu Laosi had naturally heard of.

However, he hadn't expected the kid to be so vicious and wild. That punch alone was enough for him, and yet the kid was threatening to leave him bedridden for three months?

"You... Kid, you're too arrogant!"

Wu Laosi was shaking with rage and frustration, but he dared not advance and could only point at his two henchmen and bark, "What are you dummies standing around for? Get him! Peel off his skin for me!"

The two big men, ignorant of the situation, rushed at Ling Zhenfei with a grim smirk...

Yet, although these two thugs had some fierceness in them, how could they be a match for Ling Zhenfei, who had received the legacy of The Ultimate Medicine God?

With a cold snort, Ling Zhenfei moved forward instead of back. With what appeared to be two casual punches, he knocked them all to the ground.

"Ah! You..." Wu Laosi clearly hadn't expected the youngster from the Ling Family to be such a good fighter!

After being stunned for a moment, Wu Laosi came to his senses, not bothering with anything else, he turned to flee.

"You think this is Caiyuanmen, where you can come and go as you please?"

However, before Wu Laosi had gotten far, Ling Zhenfei's figure appeared like a wall in front of him.

"Kid, debts are to be repaid, the He Family owes me money, and I'm here to collect. It's only fair! What can you dare to do about it?"

Originally wanting to escape and being blocked by Ling Zhenfei, a surge of ruthlessness suddenly rose in Wu Laosi, and instead of running, he glared at Ling Zhenfei and snapped back.

"You're right, debts must be repaid, Axiu's debt to you must be returned. But if you dare to lay a finger on her, I won't let you off!"

Ling Zhenfei's eyes tightly fixed on Wu Laosi, he ominously asked, "Tell me, exactly how much does the He Family owe you?"

"How much do they owe me? Heh heh, kid, listen well," replied Wu Laosi, already a greedy man, who upon hearing Ling Zhenfei mention money, had his small eyes gleaming with avarice, and said with a sinister sneer, "That girl borrowed a total of a hundred thousand from me in three installments for her father's treatment!"

After saying this, he cast a provocative glance at Ling Zhenfei, "Kid, if you have the ability, pay back this money, and I'll leave immediately! Oh yes, that's just the principal, there's an additional fifty thousand yuan in interest that needs to be paid separately!"

"Axiu?"

Upon hearing the He Family owed Wu Laosi a total of one hundred and fifty thousand with interest, Ling Zhenfei's brows immediately furrowed, turning to He Lingxiu with an inquiring look.

He Lingxiu was helping her frail father to bed, and upon seeing Ling Zhenfei looking at her, her expression became extremely worried, she murmured with downcast eyes, "Brother Afei, this matter... you don't need to interfere..."

Seeing He Lingxiu's expression, Ling Zhenfei knew Wu Laosi's words were true, his expression immediately turned very solemn.

A hundred thousand might not mean much to the wealthy, but in the impoverished Qinghe Village, it was an enormous sum.

Not to mention the He Family relying solely on each other, there were very few families in the village who could come up with that amount of money.

As for Ling Zhenfei himself, his family's situation seemed even worse than the He Family's…
