9. Establishing connections.

Of course, Cheng Yun had to live his life, and he wanted to live it comfortably. As the saying goes, 'If you don't want to lose your child, don't let the wolf in.' To gain something, you have to give something first.

He adjusted his clothes and knocked on Dr. Liu's door. Soon Dr. Liu came out to open it for him.

"Cheng-Ge'er? What happened? Is there something wrong at home?" Dr. Liu, like the village head, couldn't think of any other reason for Cheng Yun's visit at this time, other than asking for his help.

Cheng Yun repeated what he had said to the village head. Sure enough, Dr. Liu also showed surprise on his face. However, his family only had him, so he didn't think too much about it. He looked at the duck meat in Cheng Yun's hand and quickly invited him inside.

Dr. Liu was a kind-hearted person. Although the bowl of duck meat looked delicious, he still asked Cheng Yun many questions.

"I heard that you got married to the third son of the Yang family. Is life still going well for you? When you were young, your mother used to bring you here often and say she wanted to cure your illness," Dr. Liu pointed to the area below his ear, "but I couldn't do anything about it. It's innate. But since you have now agreed to marry the third son of the Yang family, don't worry about it. Just live your life the way you want."

Perhaps Dr. Liu was used to chatting with his patients, he talked a lot to Cheng Yun. He also said that it was better to marry someone kind-hearted than someone unreliable, and gave him a few examples. He said that someone in the village had married a gambler, and the money they earned was not enough to support their family because the head of the family had spent it all on gambling. Cheng Yun knew that this was all well-intentioned advice from Dr. Liu, so he did not refute it and agreed to everything he said.

After chatting for a while and seeing that Dr. Liu had no intention of stopping, Cheng Yun finally said, "Dr. Liu, please have some food first. The duck has been cold for a while now, and if we wait any longer, it won't taste good."

"Ah," Dr. Liu responded, "you see, once I start talking, I can't stop. Come on, Cheng-Ge'er, get yourself a bowl and chopsticks. Let's eat together."

Cheng Yun quickly refused, "Hongjin is still waiting for me at home. We already have food ready at home."

He thought for a moment and decided not to hide his intention, "Actually, I do have something I want to ask for your help with. I heard from Aunt Wang that your son runs a restaurant in town. I thought I would let you taste this duck dish that I made at home. If you think it's good, I want to try my luck and sell the recipe to the head chef at the restaurant."

Dr. Liu immediately understood what Cheng Yun was asking for. He looked at Cheng Yun and saw a hint of shyness in his eyes, but they were clear and showed no hint of calculation. At most, this was just a shortcut.

"It's just a small matter. Although Dr. Liu could help with the relationship, it would be his son who ultimately makes the decision. Not to mention, if Cheng-Ge'er's lives a good life and the couple live in harmony, it will be fine. He had been unable to help Cheng-Ge'er and it would fulfill his long-standing wish of helping to improve Cheng-Ge'er's physical condition.

Dr. Liu neither agreed nor refused. He looked at the roasted duck and asked Cheng Yun to bring a bottle of white wine from the main room. When Cheng Yun came back with the wine, Dr. Liu had already started eating.

Dr. Liu loved to drink. The roasted duck had a hint of wine flavor and paired well with the wine. Although the roasted duck itself didn't seem to be anything special, Cheng Yun's culinary skills surprised Dr. Liu. He was pleasantly surprised after taking a few bites, and asked Cheng Yun to pour more wine for him.
