Peerless Little Divine Doctor: The Beautiful CEO Falls for Me
Chapter 23 Very Impressive
In the past, when she walked around the village, people would point and whisper about her, gossiping behind her back. Today, things are different; she walks with an indescribable sense of pride.
"Did the fool strike it rich?"
"No, it doesn't look like he's made a fortune. He must have done something shady," a middle-aged woman close to the Li family said sourly. "What decent thing could a fool do? He must have stolen something!"
"Maybe it was stolen..."
"I bet some rich woman in the city has taken a liking to him and is keeping him. Look at his clothes, they're obviously picked out by a woman."
"Oh, actually it's possible. Look at Chen Yuanbao's face. Even though he's an idiot, he's very handsome."
"A rich woman raising a simple-minded young man is so easy to boss around..."
The group of old ladies got more and more outrageous and lewd as they talked, making several young girls blush.
When Chen Yuanbao walked over, his smile was still very honest, but the light in his eyes had never been as bright as it was now.
He heard everything they said.
He sneered inwardly: When I was a fool, you wouldn't even give me a hot meal. Now that I'm rich, your eyes are all red with greed.
When he reached the crowd, Chen Yuanbao deliberately stopped.
He slowly pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket. It was a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes he had bought in the county town that day, which cost several tens of yuan.
He slowly opened the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then took out a gold lighter and lit it with a "click".
As soon as smoke started to rise, the villagers' noses would twitch.
A man who smokes can tell at a sniff that this cigarette is no ordinary cigarette.
"Zhonghua... Zhonghua?" An old man's eyes widened. "Chen Yuanbao smoked Zhonghua?"
Chen Yuanbao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, looking very relaxed.
Just then, he saw Li Ergou jogging from the village.
When Li Ergou met Chen Yuanbao at the village entrance, he quickly told Li Fugui the news. Now that he heard that Chen Yuanbao had returned, he ran over to check on the situation.
Seeing Chen Yuanbao standing on the edge of the crowd, smoking a Zhonghua cigarette and looking very imposing, Li Ergou's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Silly... Chen Yuanbao, where... where did you get all this stuff?" Li Ergou came over with a fawning smile.
Chen Yuanbao glanced at him sideways, said nothing, and slowly pulled out a wad of bright red banknotes from his pocket.
That was a stack of 100-yuan bills, roughly estimated to be at least 10,000 yuan.
Chen Yuanbao waved the money in his hand, then took out two bills and gave them to a little boy who looked about eight or nine years old next to him.
"Little Tiger, take this and go to town to buy some candy."
Xiao Hu was the child from the poorest family in the village, and like Chen Yuanbao before, he often went hungry. Although Chen Yuanbao used to be mentally challenged, he would always share half of any food he got with this child.
Xiao Hu was so shocked that he couldn't speak, holding two hundred-yuan bills in his hand.
His father, seeing this, immediately ran over and told the boy to return the money to Chen Yuanbao: "Brother Yuanbao, you can't waste money, there's too much..."
"Uncle, just take it." Chen Yuanbao pushed Xiao Hu's hand back and said, "It's not much money. Xiao Hu is just like me when I was a child, not getting enough nutrition. Take him to town for a good meal."
Xiao Hu's father's eyes welled up with tears, and he held Chen Yuanbao's hand for a long time without saying a word.
Li Ergou watched with great envy. Two hundred-yuan bills were given away so easily. How could Chen Yuanbao have so much money?
"Chen Yuanbao, how do you have so much money?" Li Ergou moved closer, staring intently at the wad of money in Chen Yuanbao's hand.
Chen Yuanbao deliberately shook the bundle of money again, the bright red banknotes standing out conspicuously under the streetlights.
"Accountant Li, where would I, a fool, get money?" Chen Yuanbao said with a smile. "It must fall from the sky."
Li Ergou was choked and speechless.
Chen Yuanbao didn't want to say anything more to him. He put the money back in his pocket, picked up the bag on the ground, and said to Widow Liu, "Sister-in-law, let's go home."
After humming in agreement, Widow Liu followed Chen Yuanbao away.
A group of villagers and Li Ergou were left standing there, looking at each other.
After regaining his senses, Li Ergou immediately picked up his phone and called Li Fugui.
"Village chief, village chief, Chen Yuanbao is back! He has a wad of cash in his hand, at least ten thousand yuan, and he also gave Xiao Hu's father two hundred yuan..." Li Ergou was extremely excited on the phone.
After a moment of silence, Li Fugui on the other end of the phone said coldly, "I know. Keep an eye on things and don't alert them."
……
After Chen Yuanbao brought the things back, he went into his dilapidated mud-brick house. As soon as he entered, he smelled a musty odor.
After putting his things on the table, he looked around at his home, which had been his home for twenty years, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Sister-in-law, look at this house," Chen Yuanbao sighed. "I've lived here for twenty years, how come I never noticed how dilapidated it was before?"
Widow Liu put down the bag she was carrying, looked around, and said, "Before, you were a fool and couldn't feel it. Now that you're clear-headed, you'll naturally feel very uncomfortable."
"Sister-in-law, what you said makes a lot of sense."
Chen Yuanbao clapped his hands and said seriously, "This house must be repaired! Not only must it be repaired, but it must become the most beautiful house in the whole village! I want everyone in the village to see that I, Chen Yuanbao, will live in a house like this in the future!"
After hearing his words, Widow Liu's eyes lit up: "Yes, it should be repaired! Now that you have money, you should live in a nice house."
"Sister-in-law, what kind of house do you think I should build?" Chen Yuanbao sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), his face full of anticipation.
"I think building a two-story house like the village chief's is fine," Widow Liu said, gesturing as she spoke.
"Two stories?" Chen Yuanbao shook his head. "That's too stingy. If I'm going to build one, I'll build three stories, with blue bricks and big tiles, and a big yard in front, where I'll plant some flowers and plants, and make a small pond..."
Chen Yuanbao spoke with great joy, already envisioning the "luxury mansion" he would build in the future.
But he had a bigger plan in mind. There was spirit jade marrow beneath their land, and perhaps even a small spiritual vein. He built the house to live more comfortably and to firmly control the land. The bigger the house, the better; ideally, he'd own the entire plot and see if anyone dared to covet it.
After hearing Chen Yuanbao's words, Widow Liu also began to dream about it.
Before I knew it, it was midnight.
