Chapter 367 - Taking a Stand
Chapter 367 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God" starts here: It was almost time for dinner, so she felt embarrassed to go to Zhang Xueyingâs... Discover what happens next!
It was almost time for dinner, so she felt embarrassed to go to Zhang Xueyingâs house for a meal and went back to the village office instead.
Chen Yang also carried Xiaoxiao and returned to Xueyingâs home.
By coincidence, at this time, Xueying had just finished cooking, and all the dishes were served on the table.
âYouâre back?
Put down Xiaoxiao and come eat, Chen Yang,â
Xueying said with a smile.
Chen Yang glanced at the table and then nodded, âOkay, letâs all eat together.â
With that, the whole family sat down at the table.
The Zhang family elders were very enthusiastic and kept offering food to Chen Yang.
They also chatted a lot with Chen Yang and gave him many compliments.
Chen Yang felt quite embarrassed.
Actually, he didnât like such occasions where he would be constantly praised, giving him the feeling of being placed on a high pedestal.
In fact, Chen Yang was more of an approachable person.
Especially for those he was close with, he disliked creating a sense of distance and formality.
So Chen Yang said, âUncle Zhang, you really donât need to thank me.
You are Xueyingâs parents, and also Xiaoxiaoâs maternal grandparents.
Things concerning Xiaoxiao and Xueying are also my business.
Helping you is from a certain perspective helping my own people.
Being so thankful creates a feeling of distance.â
Chen Yangâs tone was calm, yet his expression was very sincere.
The Zhang family elders felt deeply moved when they heard these words.
Their family had always lacked a pillar of support, and now with Chen Yangâs words, the old couple suddenly felt they had someone to rely on.
Their eyes moistened involuntarily.
âYang ZiâŚ
Uncle really doesnât know how to thank youâŚâ
The old master Zhangâs voice was choked with emotion.
Chen Yang knew why the old man was so moved.
âUncle, you really donât need to say thanks.
In the future, for anything, just use me as you would your own son.
With me here, I wonât let others bully Xueying or the elders, and I will do my utmost to ensure that the two of you and Xueying have a happy life!â
After Chen Yang earnestly finished speaking, he turned his gaze toward Xiaoxiao who stood on a stool and was leaning on the table.
âI will also ensure Xiaoxiao receives a good education.
All these things are what I should do, so you really donât need to keep expressing your gratitude!â
Chen Yangâs tone was firm and heartfelt.
The Zhang family elders, along with Zhang Xueying, were overwhelmed with emotion.
Afterward, the Zhang elders nodded repeatedly, acknowledging Chen Yangâs words and refrained from voicing their gratitude.
Then, the four of them, just like one family, happily finished their dinner.
After dinner, Chen Yang had to deliver lobsters, so he did not stay long at the Zhang familyâs house.
âXueying, Iâm leaving for today.
If you encounter any difficulties or problems in life later on, feel free to talk to me.
I will do everything I can to help you.â
Chen Yang said to Zhang Xueying by the door.
Zhang Xueying nodded with a touched face and then cautiously moved closer to Chen Yang.
Seeing Zhang Xueyingâs action, Chen Yang opened his arms without hesitation and embraced Zhang Xueying.
âXueying, Iâve been really busy lately, so I havenât contacted you, but you and Xiaoxiao have always been on my mind.
Please donât feel distant from me anymore, okay?â
Chen Yang whispered gently.
Since the phone call that morning, Chen Yang had sensed that Zhang Xueying was feeling distant from him.
And in fact, this was true.
Zhang Xueying hadnât been in touch with Chen Yang for a long time because she felt estranged.
But from the moment Chen Yang drew her into his arms, she knew that she was still in his heart.
At that point, Zhang Xueying could no longer control herself and started crying on Chen Yangâs shoulder.
âSorry, Chen YangâŚ
I thought you were despising me, so I acted like thatâŚâ
Zhang Xueying sobbed, feeling wronged.
Chen Yang patted Zhang Xueyingâs back, âSilly, why would I ever look down on you?
You will always be my woman!â
Chen Yang spoke again, with a firm tone, and Zhang Xueying felt deeply moved.
Clinging tightly to Chen Yang, she lay in his armsâŚ
The two of them continued to embrace each other like this for a long time.
It was probably after more than ten minutes that they finally let go.
As soon as they parted, Zhang Xueying immediately wiped the tear marks on her face and revealed a smile.
âChen Yang, you have things to do at home, so go ahead and be busy, and if I have any issues, Iâll come to you.â
Zhang Xueying spoke with composed assurance, already considering herself Chen Yangâs woman,
which was why she was so at ease seeking his help.
That was also what Chen Yang wished to see.
âOkay, Iâll go and take care of things then.
Your work arrangements should be finalized in the next few days, and Iâll be the first to place you.â
Chen Yang nodded, then glanced inside the house.
âAnd Xiaoxiao is not little anymore, she should also start attending kindergarten.
Iâll take this time to find a good kindergarten for Xiaoxiao.â
âXiaoxiao does indeed need to start school, and I have been thinking of finding her a kindergarten when the term starts,â
said Zhang Xueying.
âThatâs perfect, then.
Leave this matter to me, and you just take it easy at home.
Iâve got everything under control.â
âMm, thank you, Chen YangâŚâ
Zhang Xueying habitually expressed her gratitude.
âDidnât I say?
Donât be so formal.
Your matters are mine, and finding a school for Xiaoxiao is only right for me to do,â
Chen Yang pulled Zhang Xueying into his arms again.
Zhang Xueying was profoundly touched by Chen Yang and lay compliantly in his arms, showing unlimited filial piety.
After a moment of tender warmth, Chen Yang finally left.
If it werenât for seeing Uncle Niu and his group coming down from the mountain from afar, Chen Yang wouldnât have wanted to leaveâŚ
Chen Yang returned to the medical clinic.
He happened to encounter Uncle Niu and Mr.
Xiao carrying lobsters to the entrance.
After a few familiar exchanges, Uncle Niu and Mr.
Xiao left, having finished their work for the day.
Chen Yang loaded the lobsters into his truck and drove straight into town.
Half an hour later, as usual, the transaction took place at the back door of Night Snack Street.
After completing the deal, Chen Yang was ready to drive off.
But at that moment, the old man suddenly called out to him.
âBoss Chen, please wait a moment, thereâs something Iâd like to talk to you about,â
the old man said cheerfully.
Hearing the voice, Chen Yang turned around.
âWhat is it, old man?
Anything else you need?â
The old manâs face was beaming with a radiant smile.
âNothing much, I was just wondering when youâll be free?
Iâd like to invite you over to my place for a meal, to properly thank you for the lobster business,â
the old man warmly invited.
Hearing this, Chen Yang was taken aback.
Hadnât he just been thanked last time?
Why again?
Chen Yang was puzzled but didnât dwell on it, decisively refusing.
âOld man, weâre conducting proper business, thereâs no need for gratitude, and youâve already treated me to a meal last time, so itâs really not necessary.â
Chen Yang refused without showing any emotion.
Just like with the Zhang family, Chen Yang was somewhat unable to accept such excessive gratitude.
Having a meal once was enough; he didnât want to keep taking advantage of someoneâs kindness just because he had done them a favor.
Even though the old man was offering voluntarily, Chen Yang still preferred not to accept it.
