Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Seeing Xu Yulan's panicked expression, Liu Ergou whispered, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I'm here. Hide here for now and don't come out, no matter what!"

"I'll go check on my brother!"

As he spoke, Liu Ergou threw on a piece of clothing and headed for the door. Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Xu Yulan's bottom a firm smack. This caused a blush to spread across Xu Yulan's face, which had been pale with panic.

Meanwhile, Liu Shuisheng, standing by the door, heard the footsteps and assumed it was Xu Yulan. He immediately started cursing.

"Goddammit, you bitch! I've been shouting for ages! Why are you only just opening the door? You looking for another beating?"

"Fucking open the door! If you don't open it right now, believe me, I'll kill you today!"

Hearing his brother's shouting, Liu Ergou couldn't help but frown. "Brother, it's me, Er Gou!"

Liu Shuisheng was clearly taken aback. "Huh? Er Gou? Where did that slut Xu Yulan go? Why isn't she opening the door for me?"

As he started unlocking the gate, Liu Ergou said, "Sister-in-law… well, she…"

Before he could finish, Liu Shuisheng cut him off. "What sister-in-law? That woman's a slut! Where did she go? Is she out cheating on me?! Goddammit, I'm going to kill her today!"

Seeing his brother's fury, Liu Ergou said helplessly, "Brother, can you let me finish? What are you talking about, cheating? Sister-in-law isn't that kind of person. She's been working so hard these past few days that she's completely exhausted. She's probably asleep in her room right now!"

As he spoke, Liu Ergou inserted the key into the lock.

"Huh? Crap! Brother, hold on. I was in such a hurry I grabbed the wrong key!"

Of course, Liu Ergou had intentionally grabbed the wrong key. However, just as he was about to go back for the right one, Liu Shuisheng stopped him.

"Er Gou, wait a second!" He passed a bag through the gap in the gate. "Here's some food I bought for you. You can't get anything good to eat around here, so I brought you some roast duck, roasted chicken, and pig's head meat from the city! Take it and eat."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but swallow. Speaking of food, he realized he had been busy all day, drinking only a few sips of water without a single bite to eat. He hadn't felt it before, but the mere mention of food made his stomach growl. He hurriedly took the bag from his brother.

Clutching the bag, Liu Ergou hurried back to his room. He set the bag on the floor and glanced around, only to see that Xu Yulan was gone. He let out a long sigh of relief.

He quickly found the correct key for the main gate and hurried back to open it for Liu Shuisheng.

The moment the gate opened, a slender figure squeezed inside. The man grabbed Liu Ergou and pulled him back into the room, not even giving him a chance to lock the gate behind them. Once inside, the figure sat down on the bed.

Only then was Liu Shuisheng's true appearance revealed.

Although Liu Shuisheng and Liu Ergou were brothers, their physical builds were at opposite extremes. Liu Ergou was tall and powerfully built. Standing there, he looked like an unshakeable iron tower. Liu Shuisheng, however, was short and scrawny. At less than 1.6 meters tall, he was as thin as a bamboo pole. To put it bluntly, he looked like a monkey.

Despite this, Liu Shuisheng cared deeply for his younger brother.

"Brother, why are you back so suddenly?" Liu Ergou asked curiously.

Liu Shuisheng smiled and picked up the bag of food from the floor, placing its contents on the bed. "Er Gou, you eat first. We can talk while you eat!"

At that moment, Liu Ergou's stomach was rumbling with hunger. He didn't stand on ceremony with his brother, grabbing a piece of the pig's head meat and biting off a large chunk.

Seeing this, Liu Shuisheng smiled and nodded. "Eat more, eat more! You can't get food this good in the village!"

As he watched Liu Ergou eat, Liu Shuisheng explained, "The construction site's closed for five days. I missed you, so I came back to see you!"

Liu Ergou nodded as he listened. Seeing how much his brother was enjoying the food, Liu Shuisheng didn't say much else, simply watching him eat with a smile.

Soon, Liu Ergou had polished off the entire piece of pig's head meat by himself. Still not satisfied, he pulled a roasted chicken from the bag and began to devour it. This surprised Liu Shuisheng a little, but he didn't mind. To him, having a good appetite was a blessing.

"Er Gou, do you want to come work in the city with me?" Liu Shuisheng suddenly asked.

The question caught Liu Ergou off guard. "Huh? Work?" he repeated.

But Liu Ergou quickly refused. "No thanks, Brother. I think life in the village is pretty good. Besides, the village can't be without a doctor! Thank you, though."

Hearing the refusal, Liu Shuisheng didn't press the matter. He just waved his hand and turned toward another room, one that was his alone. "Alright, if you don't want to go, that's fine. I can't force you, can I? I'm going to get some rest. I have to head back tomorrow for some other things."

With that, Liu Shuisheng went into his room.

Watching his brother's retreating back, Liu Ergou let out a huge sigh of relief. That was way too close! Luckily, I reacted quickly enough to buy Sister-in-law some time to get back to her room. Otherwise… The thought made him shiver. The consequences would have been unimaginable.

He quickly finished off the roasted chicken. He decided not to eat anything else in the bag, planning to save it for his sister-in-law.

After eating, Liu Ergou tried to sleep. But he just tossed and turned, still wide awake late into the night. With no other choice, he sat up, went out into the yard, opened the gate, and began to wander outside.

Since I can't sleep, I might as well go clear my head. If I get sleepy, I can just come back and go straight to bed. It's better than just lying here, unable to sleep and getting frustrated.

At this thought, Liu Ergou mentally gave himself a thumbs-up for his cleverness.
