Chapter - 7 - He promises to Protect her

"My mother-in-law didn't want me to take medicine. She said it was a waste of money, and let me endure it. If we go to the clinic to get the medicine, and my mother-in-law finds out she would be very angry." Tang Li paused, then whispered:  "Why don't we go home? It's hard for you to come back after so long, don't make trouble for me." 

She said that because she wanted to test the man's attitude. 

Yi Minghuan's footsteps paused and he lifted her up again, and assured her in a low voice: "If you have a high fever, you need to take medicine. Don't be afraid of her, I won't let her beat you again." 

Tang Li suddenly felt that the sun was somewhat dazzling and her eyes were wet. She sniffed, pulled his coat over her head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you! You are such a good person!" 

Yi Minghuan carried Tang Li on his back out of the woods by the river, and walked towards the village. Anyone who met them along the way would stop and stare at them in amazement.

"Are you Minghuan? The third child of Yi Xinyue's family?!" 

He simply greeted them, and then the villagers became even more surprised and shouted, "Oh! It's really Minghuan! Look at the change in his appearance. He has become so tall that I almost didn't recognize him!" 

When Tang Li heard this, she couldn't help thinking, it seems that he hasn't come back home since a long time.

After the identity is confirmed, the villagers continued to ask: "Why are you so wet, did you fall into the river?! Yo, who are you carrying?!" 

He just hummed and answered that he fell into the river.For the following question, he just said, wife. 

Tang Li lay on his back with her head covered. She didn't want to strike up a conversation with those gossiping villagers, so she pretended to be dizzy. After listening to the man's answer, she couldn't help but sigh.

'So cold.'

"Growl..." 

Tang Li's thoughts were interrupted by the growling of her stomach. She came back to her senses. Knowing that he must have heard it she said in embarrassment: "I didn't eat this morning." 

"I still have biscuits in my bag, soak them and eat some after a while." Yi Minghuan said, and his pace quickened a bit wanting to get to the infirmary early. 

Tang Li hummed, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the other party is a really good man.

The clinic in the village is very small. The doctor's surname is Zhang, who is almost 50 years old. He graduated from a serious medical university and received higher education. 

He was sent to the village by the provincial capital officials. After marrying a wife from the village, he took root in the village and has been here for more than 10 years.

"Who are you? Why do you look so familiar. Come in, who is sick?" Dr. Zhang saw Yi Minghuan and greeted him. 

"Uncle Zhang, I'm Minghuan. This is my wife Tang Li. She fell into the river after feeling dizzy from having a fever." He carried Tang Li into the room and put her on a chair. 

"God, it's Minghuan! Oh, I wouldn't even recognize you unless you tell me who you are! You've grown into a strong boy!"

Doctor Zhang looked at Yi Minghuan several times in amazement, and still felt that he couldn't connect the handsome young man in front of him with the poor, short and thin child many years ago. 

"Ahem..." At this moment, Tang Li coughed twice, drawing Dr. Zhang's attention to her. 

Dr. Zhang saw that her nose was bruised and face was swollen. Her face was flushed and she was shivering from cold. She looked ugly and miserable, but her eyes were very bright and clear, which made people very fond of her. 

Dr. Zhang thought about the gossip he heard on weekdays, and felt that Yi Minghuan's wife was beaten for doing a lot of work. It was really pitiful, just like Minghuan when he was a child. 

"You have a fever, so you can't wear wet clothes anymore. I'll get you a piece of your aunt's clothes. You can change first, and then I'll treat you." Dr. Zhang said sympathetically. 

It happened that his wife was also fat, so the clothes will fit her well.....
