Jiangzhou Heavenly Doctors Clinic.

"Zhao Xiong Ying, you can't even handle such a minor issue, what's the use of your existence? Just go die!"

Zhao Xiong Ying accidentally shattered two porcelain containers used for storing medicine on the table, immediately invoking the fury and accusations of his mother-in-law, Li Dongmei.

"And you aren't dead yet, are you waiting for me to handle your corpse? Let me tell you, if you're going to die, do it far away - don't desecrate our clinic!"

Seeing that Zhao Xiong Ying was still standing in place, without cleaning up the scattered medicinal ingredients on the floor, Li Dongmei became even more incensed. She was like a ruffled tiger, launching a tirade of abuses at him. Her words were as nasty as they could be.

However, all Zhao Xiong Ying could do was to apologize in a jovial manner, then squat down to start picking up the mess.

The moment he slowed down, Li Dongmei would start cursing.

"I really don't understand what that old man was thinking when he allowed you to marry into our family, you have disgraced me, Li Dongmei!"

"Zhao Xiong Ying, if you have any manliness left, pack your stuff and get lost from the Lin family right now!"

Faced with these insults, Zhao Xiong Ying had long grown accustomed. He quietly picked up the scattered herbs without retorting a single word.

Ever since he married into the Lin family three years ago, Li Dongmei had taken a dislike to him, thinking he was poor and unworthy of her daughter.

Consequently, she deliberately made things difficult for him. All the seven to eight staff members in the clinic were dismissed, and their tasks were all passed on to Zhao Xiong Ying.

Zhao Xiong Ying had been working from dawn to dusk every day. Even so, Li Dongmei remained dissatisfied, occasionally finding random reasons to scold him.

Even when she lost at Majong, she would find a way to take it out on Zhao Xiong Ying.

In any case, she must find a way to kick Zhao XiongYing out.

Even yelling would suffice, she wouldn't even let Zhao XiongYing eat to his fill.

"Why should I give this scumbag food? He deserves to starve!"

In such adverse conditions, Zhao XiongYing didn't leave, after all, his unscrupulous master had told him to temper himself for three years in the Li family before his marital adoption.

Following this, his master also sealed his medical skills, making Zhao XiongYing quite helpless.

Lin MengYan, who was in the front diagnosing others, heard the noise and slightly frowned.

The Lin family runs a traditional Chinese medicine lineage, and has been treating people as doctors from a hundred years ago. Lin MengYan, having inherited her grandfather's genuine knowledge, was a famous doctor known to all around.

Not only was she skilled in medicine, she was also very pretty. Her extraordinary face attracted countless people pretending to be ill just to get a glimpse of the unparalleled beauty of Lin MengYan's.

As a result, the medical center was as popular as a supermarket with business results skyrocketing.

But this was misery for Zhao XiongYing. He was exhausted every day like a dog and could not serve all the patients promptly.

While she was presently checking a patient's pulse she glanced back to see Zhao XiongYing still picking up herbs on the ground and the fragments nearby, and instantly understood the situation.

However, instead of helping Zhao XiongYing, she felt an even greater revulsion towards him.

Three years ago, she had suffered from a severe illness. Even her grandfather had reached a dead end and could only spend a hefty amount of money in seeking help from others.

As a result, an elderly man brought Zhao XiongYing with him. Not asking for money, but as a condition, once she was cured, Lin MengYan must marry Zhao XiongYing.

Having no other alternative, her grandfather acquiesced.

In the end, the old man somehow magically cured Lin Mengyan. As agreed, Zhang Zhaoxiong got married to Lin Mengyan and hence, stayed in the Lin family.

After the wedding, Lin Mengyan never considered Zhaoxiong as her husband. She believed that it was the old man who saved her, and Zhaoxiong had nothing to do with it.

Moreover, Zhaoxiong was quite ordinary. In the past three years at the medical center, he only did manual labor, showing no extraordinary abilities.

This disappointed Lin Mengyan greatly.

Therefore, though they were husband and wife on the surface, in reality, there was no such intimacy - Zhaoxiong hadn't even touched a finger of Lin Mengyan for three years.

In her eyes, Zhaoxiong was merely a shop assistant.

"Zhaoxiong, can't you stand up for yourself?!" Lin Mengyan shook her head, disappointed.

"He just broke a medicine bottle, there's no need to get so angry. Besides, it was not intentional, we should let it go. We still have many patients waiting outside."

At this juncture, Lin's father, Lin Zhengyang, came out to mediate.

"Lin Zhengyang," Li Dongmei who seemed displeased overheard this, "What do you mean with that statement? Are you suggesting that I'm making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhengyang immediately backed down, gave Zhaoxiong an apologetic sigh, and left.

Zhaoxiong felt grateful inside but he could not express it out.

Father-in-law Lin Zhengyang is the only person in the Lin family who treats him kindly, other than old master Lin.

Lin Zhengyang inherited his father's clinic and is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the vicinity, but he's scared of his wife. As a result, all the power at home is held by Li Dongmei.

Whatever decision Li Dongmei makes, even if Lin Zhengyang doesn't agree with it in his heart, he can only verbally consent.

Otherwise, there would be endless arguments at home.

However, he doesn't care about these things and has always been passionately dedicated to studying medical techniques, to the point of fanatical obsession.

Because of this, Li Dongmei has become increasingly domineering and authoritarian.

Zhao Xiongying, having finished tidying up, saw Lin Zhengyang frowning at an old medical book and curiously went over to take a look.

"Lacking Angelica and rhubarb..."

He blurted out while reading the old medical book.

"What would a good-for-nothing like you know? Stop prattling on and get back to work!"

Li Dongmei became furious when Zhao Xiongying didn't move.

"If I catch you slacking off again, I'll break your legs!"

"Get out of here!"

Li Dongmei pointed at Zhao Xiongying and cursed heartily.

Zhao Xiongying rubbed his nose, prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to turn and go, a voice came from behind him."Wait!" It was Lin Zhengyang.
