The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1125: Grand Ambitions

Tang Xiaoqian was stunned and raised her head in confusion: "I don’t know!"

Ling Feng was speechless, then asked: "Well, you should know about the land contracting and plans for planting crops in your village, right?"

"I know about that! My family has three acres of land in that plot!" Tang Xiaoqian quickly responded.

"Uh..."

Ling Feng felt helpless and thought, she already knows about this, yet still doesn’t recognize who I am?

So he looked at Tang Xiaoqian with doubt and asked, "Then do you know who took the contract?"

"Of course, it’s Miss Chen! We even saw her before!" Tang Xiaoqian said.

Ling Feng sighed and gave a bitter smile: "Alright, she’s working with me, strictly speaking she’s here to help me. I’m the actual investor."

"Ah, it’s you!"

Tang Xiaoqian immediately covered her mouth, her eyes widening in surprise.

After carefully studying Ling Feng’s face, she lowered her hand and said, "They said the big boss is a young man. I had no idea it was you!"

"Well, blame it on nobody mentioning my name. Otherwise, you’d have known long ago!"

Ling Feng chuckled and said, "If you’d known who I was when I got injured in the mountains, perhaps things between us wouldn’t be like this now."

"Why?" Tang Xiaoqian asked, confused.

"Because you’d think I was out of your league, maybe even too intimidated to ask me for help, let alone having me carry you home!" Ling Feng explained.

"True!"

Tang Xiaoqian nodded in agreement, then grinned and said, "If that were the case, you could forget about getting into my bed!"

"Oh really? Why’s that?" Ling Feng turned to ask.

"Humph, rich men are usually no good. I’d keep my distance from you and wouldn’t even talk to you!" Tang Xiaoqian pouted.

Seeing her reveal a coy and playful side, Ling Feng smiled and brushed away some stray hair from her face. "And what about now?"

"Now that things have come to this, it’s too late for regrets!"

Tang Xiaoqian spoke softly, "No matter who you are elsewhere, during your time in Tang Family Village, I’m just going to treat this as if I’m living in a spring dream."

"..."

Ling Feng was moved, so much so that he was left speechless for a moment.

He ended up hugging Tang Xiaoqian tightly.

The two embraced each other, holding on closely for quite a long time.

Eventually, Tang Xiaoqian fell asleep.

Ling Feng was slightly dumbfounded, thinking to himself, she can even sleep at a time like this? She really trusts me too much!

He didn’t dare move, simply holding Tang Xiaoqian in his arms and closing his eyes.

That’s how the night quietly passed. When dawn broke and the sound of a rooster crowing came from outside, it woke Tang Xiaoqian from her sleep.

Opening her eyes, she saw Ling Feng looking at her, and her face instantly flushed!

She quickly got up and said, "I must look terrible right now! I’ll go wash my face!"

"Not at all, you look beautiful!" Ling Feng laughed.

Despite his words, Tang Xiaoqian still rushed outside to freshen up, after which she started preparing breakfast with clinking sounds from the kitchen.

Ling Feng lay back for a while before getting up, pondering that today the satellite scan results should arrive—he’d soon have to head back into the mountains, possibly for another intensive effort!

A while later, steaming hot porridge was served. Tang Xiaoqian said, "Eat it while it’s hot."

Though it was just a simple homemade meal, Ling Feng couldn’t help but feel his appetite surging as he took a sip of the porridge, savoring the rich fragrance of the rice.

Seeing Tang Xiaoqian watching him with a cheerful smile, he couldn’t help but say, "Sis, you should eat too!"

"I feel satisfied just watching you eat," Tang Xiaoqian teased.

"If you don’t eat, then I won’t eat either!" Ling Feng insisted.

"Alright."

Tang Xiaoqian finally sat down and scooped herself a bowl of porridge.

As they ate, Ling Feng asked her, "Sis, has your family’s land been acquired already?"

"Hmm, at first there was some hesitation. But when I saw everyone else in the village agreeing, I just followed suit and signed the contract."

Tang Xiaoqian nodded, then asked, "Can you really help the entire village make money?"

"Don’t worry. I’m not a scammer! Once the crops are planted, you’ll soon witness a miracle!" Ling Feng chuckled.

"That would be fantastic! Our villagers have always lived off the land, but the harvests barely provide us with enough to eat and sell to make any money." Tang Xiaoqian remarked.

"Just wait. In about half a year, I aim to ensure every family can afford the latest appliances. Another six months later, everyone’s houses could be renovated!" Ling Feng declared.

"Huh?"

Tang Xiaoqian was stunned and asked in disbelief, "That fast? Can the land really generate that much profit?"

"Others might not, but I definitely can!" Ling Feng smiled.

Tang Xiaoqian gaped at him, astonished: "Then our village’s future depends on you!"

"No problem!"

Ling Feng felt a surge of enthusiasm as he envisioned achieving great things in Tang Family Village.

Of course, his motivation primarily stemmed from Tang Xiaoqian, though he didn’t share this in order to avoid burdening her.

After breakfast, Ling Feng stood up to leave.

Hearing he was departing, Tang Xiaoqian felt a pang of reluctance and nervously fidgeted with the hem of her shirt. "What happened last night was my fault. You’re not mad, are you?"

"Of course not! I also feel it was too abrupt. But hey, there’s plenty of time ahead, right?" Ling Feng hugged her and said with a smile.

"Mm."

Tang Xiaoqian felt relieved and quickly nodded.

Ling Feng then left her house, while Tang Xiaoqian stood at the doorway, watching him until he disappeared from sight. Even then, she lingered there for a moment.

Ling Feng returned to Shankou Village and saw two women at the construction site—Chen Yuhe and Lin Xue.

Spotting Lin Xue, Ling Feng immediately knew the awaited results might have arrived. He hurried over.

Before he could speak, the two women asked in unison, "Where’d you go last night?"

"I stepped out. Lin Xue, are you here to deliver the news?" Ling Feng attempted to change the subject.

But Lin Xue, ignoring his question, locked eyes with him and pressed on: "Where did you go?"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng felt cornered and grumbled, "What’s with this interrogation? It’s like I’m a thief being scrutinized—is that necessary?"

Lin Xue rolled her eyes and turned to Chen Yuhe, "He’s guilty!"

"Mm, he must’ve been up to no good last night!" Chen Yuhe agreed, nodding.

Ling Feng: "...."

Helpless, Ling Feng knew he was indeed guilty and figured denying further would be futile. The truth was his only escape now.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xue didn’t pursue the matter. Instead, she said, "The scan results are ready. Do you want to check them here or at Longyuan?"

"Longyuan is too troublesome; let’s check them here!" Ling Feng replied.

"Alright."

Lin Xue pulled a tablet out from her space bracelet. She powered it on, revealing a high-definition map for Ling Feng.
