The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1296: Vehicle Issues

Ling Feng and Mu Lingling both knew the other wasn’t asleep, but neither said a word.

After a long silence, Ling Feng suddenly heard a sigh, followed by a soft body lifting the blanket and burrowing into his bed.

He didn’t expect Mu Lingling to be so proactive, but feeling her skin as hot as it was, he knew this girl was very nervous and shy.

So Ling Feng also remained silent, simply reaching out to embrace her shoulders.

Mu Lingling let out a long breath, contentedly closing her eyes.

Though unspoken, it could be considered a confession.

Ling Feng didn’t say anything either, holding the person in his arms, and couldn’t help but sigh as he thought of what she had been through.

Whether or not this girl has really moved on, no matter what, giving her more warmth is the right thing to do.

Thus, he didn’t take advantage and eat tofu, but held the person tighter in his arms and closed his eyes.

When he woke up the next morning, he looked down to see Mu Lingling already awake, her face blushing as she looked at him. Ling Feng smiled and asked, "Did you sleep well?"

"I haven’t slept this well in a long time. Thank you, Ling Big Brother." Mu Lingling blushed and smiled.

Ling Feng looked at her and asked teasingly, "Thank me for what? Thank me for holding you while you slept or for not taking advantage?"

Mu Lingling’s face turned even redder, and she stuck out her tongue, "Both!"

The two exchanged smiles, and there was no need for more words.

After getting up, they went to the yard, where Mu Guocai had changed the way he addressed Ling Feng, no longer calling him Mr. Ling, but directly by his name.

"Ling Feng, are you going to town today? Shall I go with you?"

"No need, Uncle Mu, I can go alone." Ling Feng smiled, not speculating about the old man’s thoughts, and continued, "Let’s have everyone start getting the apples out of the cellar; if things progress quickly, trucks will be here soon to transport them!"

"Alright, I’ll go inform everyone right away!"

Mu Guocai beamed with joy and quickly nodded.

This apple acquisition is a big deal, determining the villagers’ harvest from a year of hard work. It’s not just his family; the entire Mu Family Village was excited.

Ling Feng quickly drove to town and after some inquiries found Ding Yuhai’s house.

This was a large compound, with a three-story building standing out among the surrounding structures.

Ling Feng parked his car and approached the entrance, where a large black dog barked and rushed over!

After glancing at it, the black dog immediately lost its steam, tucked its tail, and ran off.

Ling Feng then shouted, "Is Boss Ding home?"

"Who is it?"

In response to the shout, a bald, burly man emerged from the house.

This man was robust, and although he was dressed warmly, it was clear he was in good shape, with bulging muscles that made him look menacing.

At the entrance, Ding Yuhai sized up Ling Feng and asked, "Who are you?"

"I want to use a truck; I heard Boss Ding has a few and knows several owners, so I came to ask for your help!" Ling Feng smiled.

"Oh, how many do you need, and what for?" Ding Yuhai asked.

"To transport apples, twenty trucks!" Ling Feng said.

"What?"

Ding Yuhai’s voice rose in surprise, "Five hundred tons of apples, where did you buy them?"

Ling Feng smiled, "Mu Family Village!"

"..."

Ding Yuhai squinted, and his expression changed immediately.

After seriously sizing up Ling Feng again, he asked coldly, "Kid, where are you from?"

Ling Feng was taken aback, "What’s that got to do with where I’m from?"

"Of course, it matters!"

Ding Yuhai nodded, "Apparently, you don’t understand the situation yet. Within dozens of miles, who’s unaware that I’m the apple buyer? Yet, you dare come into my territory and snatch my business?"

"How is that snatching?"

Ling Feng chuckled, "In business, people sell and I buy. Whoever offers the right price gets the goods!"

"How much did you pay for the apples?" Ding Yuhai asked.

Ling Feng: "Two yuan per pound."

"Per pound?"

"That’s right!"

Ding Yuhai: "...."

After a moment of silence, he burst into laughter, "Where did this clueless kid come from? The Mu Family Village’s Red Hibiscus Apples are only worth one and a half yuan per pound on the market, and you dare to buy them for two? Are you crazy?"

"That seems to have nothing to do with Boss Ding, whether I make money or lose money is strictly my concern!" Ling Feng replied.

"I don’t care if you profit or lose, but you dare interfere with my business, that’s not acceptable!"

Ding Yuhai sneered and continued, "You better leave. Don’t worry, you won’t be able to hire a single truck around here without me! No one dares to work for you!"

"Are you sure?"

Ling Feng wasn’t pleased either, looking at him seriously.

"What? You trying to intimidate me, kid? Let me tell you, in my neck of the woods, I’m the authority on apple business!"

Ding Yuhai arrogantly pointed at Ling Feng’s nose, "If I say you can’t do this deal, then you definitely can’t! I’m absolutely certain!"

"Alright then, I understand!"

Ling Feng smiled, turned around, got in his car, and left.

There was no need to fuss with someone like this. After driving a bit away, Ling Feng called Mo Jiaolan.

Upon explaining the situation, she immediately said, "Hold on, I’ll find a local transport company for you!"

"Okay, I’ll wait for your news!"

Ling Feng didn’t want to go to the county to search; it was too time-consuming. Internet searching was the best option.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Mo Jiaolan called back with several transport companies’ information and sent him the contact details.

Ling Feng didn’t hesitate and began calling to discuss truck hiring.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he mentioned transporting apples from Mu Family Village, the companies asked if he had contacted Ding Yuhai. After confirming the answer, they all refused!

Ling Feng was speechless, not expecting such a situation. Could that Ding really wield so much power?

His stubbornness kicked in!

Didn’t Ding claim dominance within these dozens of miles? Fine, I don’t believe you’re just as mighty in other cities!

Ling Feng found a company in the county where Shankou Village was located and called them.

This time, it was smooth sailing in securing twenty large trucks.

The other party had no idea who Ding Yuhai was and upon hearing Ling Feng wanted to transport apples, a distance of over a hundred kilometers, with a freight cost of one yuan per ton per kilometer, the company manager immediately agreed!

This distance wasn’t long; if done quickly, it could be a round trip within a day. The freight cost calculated to about three thousand yuan, and after deducting labor and fuel costs, a truck could net two thousand yuan—only a fool would refuse such business!
