Chapter 6, Who Cares About You Eating
"Do not mention that matter again, and do not speak of it to anyone, otherwise I will kill you!" Nie Yu pushed Fang Hong aside, picked up the large and small bags on the ground, and walked into the kitchen, where the sound of chopping vegetables soon echoed.
"Why are you shouting so loudly?" Fang Hong asked as he walked in.
By absorbing the memories of his former host, Fang Hong learned that this person was his landlord, and the purpose of coming here was not to demand rent, but to increase the rent, with no other intention.
Bastard, bastard, bastard! Nie Yu chopped the vegetables on the cutting board as if they were Fang Hong, striking them fiercely.
"Stay here? No way!" Nie Yubai shot a disdainful glance at Fang Hong and said, "Who would want your doghouse?"
What else do you want?
Hmph! How could it be refused? What a foolish and ignorant woman! Fang Hong, feeling helpless, finally experiences the taste of how difficult it is to make a penny, having previously enjoyed a steady stream of wealth simply by writing a prescription in his past life.
Is there a mistake? Fang Hong said with some surprise: "Isn't it due on the 15th of every month? Today is only the 8th."
Fang Hong cautiously asked, "About what happened in the morning..."
"How much is it? I will pay." Nie Yu suddenly raised her head and said
At first, he thought that the landlord had come to notify him of a rent increase, which would at least give him some time to earn money, but he did not expect that she was there to collect the rent directly
The wound was quickly bandaged, tightly and securely without being cumbersome, and even the pain was significantly alleviated, leading Nie Yu to admire this once again in her heart
"Don't make a fuss." Fang Hong grasped Nie Yu's hand, pressing his thumb gently on her tiger's mouth, specifically on the Hegu acupoint, applying a few gentle presses.
"Aunt Zhang, what brings you here?" Fang Hong smiled.
Fang Hong left without saying a word
Moreover, he also despises doing such things
The landlady's round, meaty face is as dark as the bottom of a pot. Due to misconceptions among the Chinese people, menopause is often labeled with tags such as old maid, irritable, and unreasonable, which leads patients to often refrain from discussing it with others
Nie Yu was momentarily taken aback, and then her complexion changed from pale to green, from green to red, and from red to black, until her face was overshadowed by dark clouds and smoke began to rise from her head
What kind of person is he, after all
... ...
Incredible, within just a few seconds, the wound stopped bleeding.
Looking again at the large and small bags that Nie Yu was carrying, filled with vegetables, meat, and condiments, it seemed that they could stuff her small refrigerator to the brim. Unable to help herself, she exclaimed: "Are you kidding me! You can't possibly be planning to stay here long-term, can you?"
"Xiao Fang, you need to pay last month's rent," the landlord said straightforwardly.
Dr. Fang is undoubtedly a staunch male chauvinist, and being scolded like a dog by a young woman in front of outsiders is quite humiliating for him
The dragon swims in shallow waters, the dragon swims in shallow waters!
Seeing outsiders enter, Nie Yu also prudently restrained her temper for the time being, set down her bowl, and then took Fang Hong's chopsticks to eat by herself
Of course, it will never be spoken out loud
Just by looking at the presentation, it is evident that Nie Yu has put in considerable effort
Fang Hong let out a cold smile: "Aunt Zhang, from what you say, it seems that you are not just here to collect the rent, but you genuinely want to drive me away!"
That..." Nie Yu's face flushed, and she lowered her head, saying: "You took me in for a night and even healed my foot, so I would like to make you breakfast to express my gratitude before I leave
The landlady's expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural, and she chuckled awkwardly, saying: "Xiao Fang, what are you talking about? Aunt Zhang is just a small landlord, relying on rental income to make a living. You are now running a clinic and earning a lot of money. As the landlord, it is only natural for me to benefit a little from that, isn't it?"
At the same time, I secretly lament that the grievances endured over several hundred years in my past life are nothing compared to the multitude I have experienced in just these few days
This guy can be quite considerate at times
Hey, that is..." Fang Hong wanted to remind Nie Yu that he had eaten that before, but he was a bit afraid that the girl would explode again
A bowl of clear broth, with noodles at the bottom, topped with two curved, emerald-green vegetables, a few slices of half-fat, half-lean char siu, and a fried egg that is slightly charred and glistening with oil.
The implication is that I will help you with the prescription for treatment, so you may want to hold off on the matter of collecting rent for the time being
Fang Hong was puzzled and said: "Then what is this..."
"Impressive, truly impressive," Nie Yuren couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "So stopping the bleeding is this simple!"
Nie Yu nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, this is what I am best at, you should give it a try!"
"It's nothing, just speak honestly," Nie Yu said
Fang Hong would not dare to utter even half a sentence
I only thought about it, but did not dare to say it out loud
Fang Hongjian saw that the landlady was determined to collect money, so he said: "Aunt Zhang, your face is flushed, you have a sheen of sweat on your forehead, and your voice is high-pitched. These are all symptoms of a serious condition. I will prescribe a remedy for you; just take it for a month, and I guarantee a complete cure"
Fang Hong also said little, picking up his chopsticks and eating heartily.
Is it ... ... the caretaker?
It has been changed to No. 8. The landlord's tone is quite firm, giving off the impression that you can leave if you do not want to rent.
Fang Hong hesitated for a moment and said, "Um, may I ask, what was your previous occupation..."
Fang Hong clenched his fist and covered his mouth, coughing twice: Do you still need to ask?
Do you think you can fool me? Hmph, I was already calculating how to outsmart others while you were still wetting your pants!
Although the wound has stopped bleeding, it still needs to be bandaged; otherwise, it is very easy to become infected. Fang Hong said this as he took out a piece of white gauze and carefully helped Nie Yu with the bandaging
Nie Yuqi said: "Mind your own business!"
In fact, the landlord's urgent and hasty arrival to collect the rent was primarily due to hearing some rumors.
"Come, give it a try!" Nie Yu placed a large bowl of steaming noodles in front of Fang Hong, who was engrossed in his phone.
Nie Yu slightly raised her chin, her beautiful eyes glistening with encouragement: "Mm, mm."
Fang Hong looked up and asked, "Did you do this?"
The issue is that Doctor Fang is currently in a state of near complete financial ruin
Just as the bowl of noodles, filled with Nie Yutao's overwhelming anger, was about to smash down on Fang Hong with the force of Mount Tai, someone suddenly shouted from outside the door: "Xiao Fang!"
Nie Yuye glared at Fang Hongdao, asking, "Do you really wish for me to disappear that much?"
"That..." Nie Yushuang clasped her hands in front of her chest and asked nervously, "How does it taste?"
Nie Yu had tears glistening at the corners of her eyes, and she raised her injured finger, exclaiming, "I cut my finger."
Throwing the large and small bags in hand aside, he grabbed Fang Hong's collar and roared like a lion: "What the hell do you want to say? Do you believe I will silence you right now? Do you believe it?"
That kind of complete immersion and meticulousness, that gaze as profound as the cosmic starry sky, is simply a stark contrast to his usual whimsical self
Is there a mistake? Could it be that I, too, will one day fall to the point of sleeping on the streets?
The landlady cast a glance at Nie Yu, who was bowing her head to eat noodles, and was secretly astonished: this girl is truly beautiful; could she be Fang Hong's new girlfriend?
Fang Hong complained, "Knowing that I am clumsy, I shouldn't try to use a kitchen knife like others"
Hehe, Xiaofang, Aunt Zhang has other matters to attend to and doesn't have time to chat here. You should go ahead and pay the rent first
Director Li of the neighborhood committee will send Fang Hong to the mental hospital at any time
Is that all
"Simple, you say!" Dr. Fang scoffed, "Do you not realize that what appears simple on the surface conceals profound techniques within? Next time you cut your hand, try stopping the bleeding like I do. I guarantee you will bleed to death from excessive loss of blood."
Upon hearing this sound, Fang Hong immediately felt a sharp pain in his forehead
However, when Fang Hong pointed out her ailment, the landlord was indeed taken aback for a moment. Of course, she would never believe that Fang Hong possessed exceptional medical skills; she would only think that Fang Hong had guessed correctly by chance.
Fang Hong looked at the wound and calmly said: "The wound is too deep; a hemostatic patch will be of no use."
Nie Yu scolded: "The hemostatic patch is useless; does it help to just watch me bleed profusely like this?"
It could be relatives or friends or something like that
Fang Hong showed a look of difficulty; although he was sometimes domineering, he was by no means an unreasonable person. Renting someone else's house and paying rent is a matter of course; one cannot act like a rogue.
The visitor was a middle-aged woman with a head full of yellow curly hair and a figure resembling that of a barrel
"What scriptures are you referring to, and what symptoms?" The landlord lady was completely baffled
Nie Yu raised the kitchen knife and said: "Get lost!"
After chopping for a while, suddenly the injured hand was pulled over, and Fang Hong said: "That vegetable is not me, why are you using so much force?"
There is no way; under someone else's roof, one must bow their head
Once this matter is confirmed, that fellow will be sent to a mental hospital; who will she turn to for rent then? It is better to take the initiative; collect as much as possible!
Fang Hongdao: "This is what is referred to in modern terms as menopause syndrome"
That bastard seems to be eager for me to leave quickly. Am I really that annoying..." Nie Yu was chopping vegetables, but the scene of Fang Hong treating her foot injury involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
While eating, they sulkily said: "Who cares about you eating, who cares about you eating!"
Pu! Nie Yu almost spat a mouthful of noodles onto Fang Hong's face
It suddenly seemed to him that this idea was truly ridiculous; how could Fang Hong possibly attract such a beautiful girl? If he really had that ability, he wouldn't have been dumped by his previous girlfriend
Nie Yudun was instantly enraged: "Is this the right time to talk about this? Hurry and bring me a band-aid!"
Ah? Nie Yu was momentarily confused, but after chewing on it for a while, he finally understood. Anger surged from his heart, and malice arose in his gut. He snatched the bowl of noodles, raised it high above his head, and shouted, "You bastard, are you saying that what I cooked is not fit for human consumption, right? Would you die if you didn't insult me, would you!"
Furthermore, you have paid last month's rent, and you must also pay next month's rent in advance. Additionally, the rent will increase by one hundred percent because you have unilaterally converted the property into a medical clinic, which qualifies it for commercial use, thus the rent naturally has to be higher. Of course, if you choose not to rent, I welcome that as well. I will give you one week to move out; the decision is yours.
Fang Hongwen paused his writing, deep in thought, as if he were organizing his words
Even so, Fang Hong felt utterly humiliated. Not to mention that this Zhang surname individual was merely a common, unattractive woman, just the remuneration for this prescription was shockingly low compared to the millions of dollars he would have received in his previous life
Oh no! Suddenly, a sharp pain struck; it turned out I had cut my finger. The wound is quite deep, and blood keeps oozing out.
