The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 998: Lake

In the yard, dozens of people were standing, and Li Yumei was explaining something to everyone. Ling Feng hurriedly approached upon seeing this: "What’s going on?"

"These are people from nearby villages, they are all here to see you!"

Li Yumei, seeing Ling Feng, suddenly seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and quickly said.

Ling Feng was stunned and looked at the crowd in astonishment: "What are you looking for me for?"

It was then that the people realized he was Ling Feng, so they suddenly crowded around him!

"We also want jobs!"

"I want to live in a new house!"

"I want to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables!"

"Uh...."

Ling Feng was speechless.

Turns out these people were all from the surrounding villages, seeing the development booming in Shiliu Village, they came to seek his help!

Strictly speaking, Ling Feng shouldn’t need to deal with this personally at all; he wasn’t a village official or a township head, these other villages’ affairs really had nothing to do with him!

However, seeing everyone’s eager eyes, Ling Feng found it hard to refuse. He then turned to Li Yumei: "Do we have any labor shortages in our greenhouses?"

"They are all fully automated, one person can manage a greenhouse, and there are enough people available during harvest, so there’s no way." Li Yumei said with a forced smile.

"Boss Ling, please think of something, after all, we are fellow villagers, help us out!" someone said.

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng couldn’t bring himself to be hard-hearted, so he said: "Well, everyone, don’t worry. Ling Corporation has already planned to develop the surrounding villages and towns, but one cannot become fat with one bite, everything has to proceed step by step!"

"When will that be then, after you get rich will you only care about what’s at your doorstep and ignore everyone else?" someone shouted.

Hearing this, Ling Feng was stunned, thinking to himself, what do I owe you?

However, those with such thoughts were in the minority. Most people were simple farmers just wanting to have a better life, so he didn’t say anything.

After that, Ling Feng stopped the incessant pleas from the crowd and loudly said: "Well then, I promise everyone, before spring begins next year, I will definitely provide a reasonable plan, by then everyone will have a good house to live in and a job!"

"That’s great, thank you, President Ling!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ling!"

Cheers erupted among the crowd.

Then, unexpectedly, many people took out home-grown chicken eggs, millet, and other various groceries, and began stuffing them into Ling Feng’s hands!

There were dozens of people, Ling Feng couldn’t possibly accept all the offerings, so eventually, everyone just piled the items at the entrance of the village committee office.

Seeing this scene, Ling Feng felt a bit emotional; these were true sentiments from everyone, and were worth much more than bright red bills!

So, watching the people disperse, he silently made a decision in his heart to discuss with Mo Jiaolan later and move forward with the development plans as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng noticed that the middle-aged man who arrived by car hadn’t left yet and was still standing not too far away.

Seeing Ling Feng look at him, the man quickly came over, smiling apologetically: "President Ling, I am the village chief from the north, Xiao Chi Village, my name is Li Futian."

"Ah, Village Chief Li, is there anything else you needed?" asked Ling Feng.

Li Futian grinned: "Actually, I didn’t come to ask you to build houses or factories for us, I have a project I would like to collaborate with you on!"

"Oh? What project?"

Ling Feng asked curiously, puzzled.

"In Xiao Chi Village, we have a large pond, we want to develop fish farming there. We provide the location, and maybe President Ling could invest some funds or technology, then this project could take off!" Li Futian explained.

"A pond?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng was taken aback and couldn’t help but say, thinking to himself, a village of at least dozens if not hundreds of households can’t even develop a pond?

"Mr. Ling, you might not know, originally, it was indeed a small pond, only a few acres in size, but for some reason, not too long ago, this pond suddenly collapsed, and it turned into a huge pond in a blink of an eye. We just got used to calling it that, now, it might even be considered a lake!" Li Futian explained.

"Oh?"

Ling Feng became interested upon hearing this, a lake formed by sudden collapse?

Li Yumei then said, "I’ve heard about this before too, people thought it was odd, but later some experts came to examine and said it was due to an earthquake induced subsidence in the underground space, so it’s not that strange anymore, I didn’t mention it to you."

"Oh, that’s what happened!"

Ling Feng laughed: "Those experts are just average, I don’t believe they truly understand the real reason, come on Village Chief Li, how about we go and take a look at this lake?"

"Great, let’s go, take my car!" Li Futian, overwhelmed with happiness, blurted out.

"No need, I’ll drive there myself, Village Chief Li, just lead the way in a bit!" Ling Feng said cheerfully.

On his way to get the car, Ling Feng looked at Yu Linglong: "I’m going to visit that village, are you coming?"

"Yeah!"

Yu Linglong nodded her head.

Ling Feng was somewhat surprised, not expecting her to take an interest in these minor matters, so he asked with a smile: "Want to see more of our local customs?"

"Sort of, it’s not like I have anything else to do!" Yu Linglong said.

Afterwards, the two of them got in the car and then drove back to the village committee office, where Li Futian, upon seeing them, immediately drove ahead to lead the way, and the two cars left Shiliu Village.

Driving north along the highway, after passing through a mountainous area, the cars circled around a patch of forest, and then the scene suddenly opened up in front, presenting a huge azure lake before Ling Feng and Yu Linglong.

Seeing this, both were startled!

Such a clear and blue lake, appearing right here!

It was as if they were seeing the ocean from the Nine Heavens!

Looking at each other, Ling Feng and Yu Linglong simultaneously said: "Nice place!"

Lake and mountains, sparkling waves, this scene was really beautiful!

Village Chief Li had already stopped his car, Ling Feng also pulled over, parking by the lake.

After getting out of the car, he approached with a smile: "This is definitely not an ordinary pond anymore, it’s truly a big lake now!"

"Yes, President Ling might not know, this area used to be a vast barren mountain, nothing on the mountain but rotten stones, then overnight it turned into this. Many of the villagers woke up thinking they were dreaming!" Li Futian chuckled.

"Such a big change, and no noise at all?" Ling Feng asked.

"You’re telling me!"

Li Futian smiled, then continued, "Later on, someone in the village made a raft, and a few brave young men went on it to see how big the lake was. It took them a whole day to row to the other side!"

Ling Feng’s eyes widened in astonishment: "Goodness, such a huge scope, definitely can’t let it go to waste!"
