Chapter 787: Mistake

Translator: Lordbluefire

The police heard this and immediately rushed to the door, knocking on it, saying, “Hello, please open the door.”

From inside the room, Chu Cichen’s voice was heard, “Wait a moment.”

In no time, he stood at the door.

Chu Cichen was sweating and looked a bit surprised to see several people at the door. He asked, “What’s going on?”

The police couldn’t say it was a neighbor who reported a case, so they just looked inside the room and asked, “Is there anyone else at home?”

Chu Cichen nodded, “My wife is here too.”

“Can you let her come out for a moment?”

“Oh, she’s not feeling well.”

The police immediately looked at the two people who had reported the case.

Li Li spoke up, “What’s the inconvenience? Miss Shen? Miss Shen…”

She called inside.

Chu Cichen,”?”

He frowned, “She’s really not feeling well.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the police rushed into the room with Li Li. Once they entered, they saw Shen Ruojing arranging a row of shiny silver needles.

There were accidentally spilled bottles on the floor.

Everyone was surprised.

Li Li asked again, “Miss Shen, what are you doing?”

Shen Ruojing raised the silver needle in her hand, “I’m giving him acupuncture.”

Li Li pointed to the broken glass on the floor, “And these?”

“Cupping.”

Everyone,

Li Li smirked, “But I heard someone screaming in pain just now…”

At this, Shen Ruojing looked at Chu Cichen.

Chu Cichen seemed to understand something. He coughed and touched his nose, saying somewhat awkwardly, “When my wife was giving me acupuncture, it hurt a little, so…”

Actually, he couldn’t really bear the pain.

What kind of pain was that?

Mainly… he wanted to get Jingjing’s attention!

But he didn’t expect Jingjing to be so forceful. Not only did it not ease the pain, but it also led the neighbors to misunderstand?!

The police officers exchanged glances, “So it was just a misunderstanding, then everything’s fine.”

The police then looked at Li Li and her husband, “You should remember to apologize to your neighbor, but 1 must also commend you. You did well. Next time, if something like this happens again, report it to the police. It’s better to have a misunderstanding than to miss a real emergency.”

Li Li and her husband received praise and apologized to Chu Cichen and his wife.

After the police left, Li Li and her husband repeatedly expressed their apologies, and by this time, Shen Ruojing had already put away the silver needles and sent them off at the door.

When they reached the door, Li Li asked, “Miss Shen, is your husband not feeling well?”

Shen Ruojing replied, “…Yes, that’s why we chose to be here for his recuperation… Oh, no, it’s for his rehabilitation.”

How did she accidentally reveal her true thoughts?

Li Li nodded, “I see. What about your husband’s gambling problem?”

Shen Ruojing then understood why the couple had misunderstood her. So she said, “I was just teasing him. He doesn’t have money to gamble.”

Li Li and her husband felt more embarrassed now, realizing they had mistaken Chu Cichen for some kind of bad person.

As they were talking, they heard the door of the neighboring house also open.

The male streamer stretched out his hand, seemingly having understood something from Li Li’s conversation, and couldn’t help but say, “Miss Shen, don’t you and your husband have to go to work?”

Shen Ruojing, “…Well, the most important thing is to take care of our health.”

The male streamer paused slightly, “But you have no income, what will you do? Oh, I see, you’re living off your savings. Do you have a lot of savings?”

“…,” Shen Ruojing remained silent for a moment, “Yes, just a little bit.”

The male streamer, “A little bit won’t do. You can’t just rely on your savings; it’s not a sustainable plan. If you run out of money and then think about making more, it’ll be too late. Actually, you can try doing live streaming. If you need any help, 1 can teach you or even promote your channel for free.”

Shen Ruojing,”?”

She nodded at the male streamer, “Thank you, but 1 won’t need that.”

Li Li also chimed in, “By the way, Mrs. Shen, your husband isn’t in good health, right? My husband is a doctor; he could help with arrangements and treatments. He specializes in traditional Chinese medicine.”

Shen Ruojing looked at the helpful neighbors again, “No need, thank you.”

Li Li said, “Alright, if you need anything, just talk to us. Now that we’re neighbors, there’s no need to be polite. Besides, my husband is really skilled in traditional Chinese medicine; he even studied in the capital…”

Li Li’s husband smiled faintly and asked, “I noticed you were using silver needles just now, do you know acupuncture?”

Shen Ruojing replied, “Yes, just a little bit.”

Li Li’s husband spoke up, “I majored in acupuncture in university. If there’s anything you’re not sure about, you can come to me! Or 1 can give your husband acupuncture for free, no need to be polite!”

Shen Ruojing smiled and said nothing, “Alright.”

Finally, after chatting, Shen Ruojing closed the courtyard door. On their way home, Li Li looked at her husband and said, “It’s so sad for Shen Ruojing, being so young but having to live this kind of rustic life with her husband.”

Her husband sighed, “There’s nothing we can do; her husband is sick after all.”

Li Li suggested, “Then let’s take care of them more in the future. Like changing the water and stuff, if you see them doing it, lend them a hand.”

“Sure, i got it, dear.”

Meanwhile, the streamer Xiao Yi returned to his room and interacted with his fans on the live stream, “1 was so startled; I thought there was a thief that attracted the police, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. A young couple moved in next door, resting and recuperating here… Rich people? Nah, they seem quite unfortunate, living off their savings. Fortunately, living expenses aren’t high in our small county… sigh, but once they have a child, they’ll need to buy milk powder and diapers, right? 1 might advise them to create an online account and help them out….”
