Peerless Little Divine Doctor: The Beautiful CEO Falls for Me

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua's expression softened slightly, but she quickly became stern again.

"Five thousand yuan? Li Dazhuang, are you crazy? We only have that much money at home, and you think you can just give it to him like that? You, as his older brother, don't teach him any manners, and you're actually giving him money?"

Wang Guihua stood with her hands on her hips, looking even fiercer than Li Dazhuang.

Li Dazhuang was already feeling aggrieved, and when he saw his wife dare to speak to him like that, he was immediately filled with rage and raised his hand to slap her.

"What are you muttering about? Hand over the money now, or I'll beat you to death!"

Wang Guihua had been beaten by Li Dazhuang quite often. He had a bad temper, and she hadn't given him any children. She felt guilty about it, so she could only tremble and whisper.

"Dazhuang, five thousand yuan for just helping you up? Yuanbao's a fool, he'll believe any sweet talk. Why would you give him that?"

"What exactly happened? Did you go gambling again?"

He watched as the couple made a complete mess of things in front of him.

Chen Yuanbao pretended not to see and began to look around Li Dazhuang's house.

The Li family was considered wealthy in the village. Their house was one of the few brick and tile houses in the village, and it also had a color TV, a refrigerator, and all the furniture was new.

Compared to his own dilapidated mud-brick house, it was like heaven and earth.

"Guihua, it's nothing. It's just that Yuanbao saved me. I promised to give him money."

Li Dazhuang clenched his fist. "A man should keep his word. Hurry up and hand over the money."

Wang Guihua wanted to say something more, but seeing the veins bulging on her husband's face, she didn't dare to say anything more and could only go into the inner room to take out the money.

"Here, five thousand dollars, take it!"

Chen Yuanbao didn't stand on ceremony. He stepped forward, put the money away, and even counted it in front of Wang Guihua.

"Not a penny less, thank you Sister Guihua, thank you Brother Dazhuang."

Chen Yuanbao carefully tucked the money into his pocket, gave the couple a simple, honest smile, and turned to walk out the door.

As he reached the door, he seemed to remember something and turned back.

"By the way, Brother Dazhuang, when are you going to start working on that house you said you'd fix for me?"

Li Dazhuang: ...

Wang Guihua: ? ? ?

"Repair...repair the house?" Wang Guihua's voice shrilly. "Li Dazhuang, you're going to repair his house too?"

Chen Yuanbao looked at Li Dazhuang with an innocent expression: "Brother Dazhuang, you haven't forgotten, have you? You said my house is dilapidated and leaks when it rains, and you wanted to find someone to fix it for me."

Li Dazhuang was so angry that his teeth itched, but he couldn't lash out in front of Wang Guihua, so he could only grit his teeth and nod.

"Yes, yes, I said that."

"That's good, that's good."

Chen Yuanbao said happily, "Brother Dazhuang, you are a good person. I will definitely repay you in the future."

After saying that, Chen Yuanbao turned and left, leaving Wang Guihua in the house yelling at Li Dazhuang.

On his way home, Chen Yuanbao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Five thousand yuan is a huge sum of money for him right now.

He had never seen so much money in his life.

What made him even more comfortable was that Li Dazhuang had suffered in silence and dared not make a sound, which felt incredibly good.

However, Chen Yuanbao also knew that this was just the beginning.

A man like Li Dazhuang won't give up so easily.

He's got me cornered tonight, but he'll definitely find a way to get revenge later.

Moreover, Li Dazhuang is not the only person like him in the village.

Although Sanshui Village is small, it is a mixed bag of people. The village chief, Li Fugui, is a cunning old fox. His father and Li Dazhuang's father are cousins, so the Li family has a lot of influence in the village.

Chen Yuanbao was bullied when he was a child, and many of the bullying incidents were committed by members of the Li family.

Now that he has a chance, he naturally wants to get back at everyone he suffered before.

But he can't rush things; everything has to be done slowly.

Although he has regained his intelligence and received a cultivation inheritance, his strength is still very weak, not even as good as an ordinary person. He has only just begun to learn the "Taiqing Xuanyuan Gong" and has not even condensed a trace of spiritual power.

To truly establish a foothold, we need to plan for the long term.

Back home, Chen Yuanbao hid the five thousand yuan in the kang (heated brick bed) hole and covered it with a broken brick.

After doing all this, he sat cross-legged on the kang again and began his cultivation.

The night is deep and quiet, a perfect time for spiritual practice.

Before we knew it, the sky was turning a pale white again.

Chen Yuanbao opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and full of energy.

He jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) and stretched.

After a night of training, he could clearly feel that his strength had increased significantly, his eyesight had become brighter, and even his hearing was much sharper than yesterday.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard a commotion of footsteps outside.

"Idiot, is the idiot home?"

A rough, hoarse voice sounded from outside the door.

Chen Yuanbao frowned. He recognized the voice; it belonged to Li Ergou, the village accountant.

Li Ergou was also a member of the Li family. He often bullied people because he was in charge of the village's accounts.

"Accountant Li, what's up?"

Chen Yuanbao opened the door, still sporting that same simple and honest expression.

Two other people followed behind Li Ergou: one was Zhao Laosi, the deputy village chief, and the other was a stranger who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a suit and clearly not from the village.

"Fool, the village needs to repair the road, and each household needs to contribute five hundred yuan. Pay the money now."

Li Ergou stretched out his hand and said with an impatient expression.

Chen Yuanbao's heart stirred.

Li Dazhuang had mentioned the road repair to Widow Liu yesterday.

But that was money given to Widow Liu so that she could repay him.

Now Li Ergou is coming to me and asking me to pay 500 yuan as well?

Chen Yuanbao patted his pockets, a troubled expression on his face: "Accountant Li, I have no money. You know I'm an orphan, and I often don't even have enough to eat."

"No money?" Li Ergou sneered. "If you don't have money, just mortgage the house. Anyway, your dilapidated house isn't worth much. The village is going to be redeveloped, and your house is on the road, so it'll have to be demolished."

Chen Yuanbao's eyes narrowed slightly.

So this was their real purpose; building the road was just a pretext. What they really wanted was their land.

Although his house is dilapidated, it has a good location, right on the main road leading into the village from the east end. If the village were to develop the area, the land would be quite valuable.

"Accountant Li, this...this house was left to me by my parents, it can't be demolished."

Chen Yuanbao deliberately feigned a panicked expression.

"Can't we demolish it?" Zhao Laosi said sarcastically from the side. "Fool, village affairs are decided by the village. How can you oppose it by yourself?"

The man in the suit spoke up at this moment. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and slowly lit it: "Young man, don't worry, we won't let you suffer any losses."

"Your house may be run-down, but I can buy it for three thousand yuan. What do you think?"

Three thousand yuan?

Chen Yuanbao almost burst out laughing.

His house and the land are worth at least 30,000 yuan, and these people actually want to settle for 3,000 yuan.

However, Chen Yuanbao did not refuse on the spot, but pretended to hesitate: "This... I need to think about it."

"What are you thinking about?" Li Ergou said impatiently. "Idiot, you're lucky if you get three thousand yuan. If you keep arguing, you won't get a single penny. We'll just demolish your house!"

Chen Yuanbao kept his head down, so his expression was not visible.

Although he has regained his intelligence and received the inheritance of cultivation, it will still take him time to deal with these people.

Impulsiveness won't solve the problem; he needs to find someone to rely on.

"Accountant Li, give me three days to think about it."

Chen Yuanbao raised his head, still sporting that simple and honest expression.

Li Ergou was about to say something when the man in the suit waved his hand: "Fine, I'll give you three days. We'll come back in three days. Young man, you'd better think it over carefully; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

After the three left, Chen Yuanbao stood at the door, watching their departing figures, his eyes becoming deep.

The water in Sanshui Village was deeper than he had imagined.

Who is that stranger in the suit?

Why would they target my land?

Is the road construction real, or is there another motive?

Countless questions flooded Chen Yuanbao's mind.

He knew that he had been a fool before, and there were many things in the village that he didn't know.

To understand these things, you need to find someone who knows the inside story.

The first person he thought of was Widow Liu.

Although Widow Liu had a bad reputation, she had been in the village for so many years and had ambiguous relationships with the men there, so she had a lot of information.

Moreover, after what happened yesterday, Widow Liu is completely obedient to me, which is a good opportunity to take advantage of her.

Having made up his mind, Chen Yuanbao turned around and headed towards Widow Liu's house.

As soon as Chen Yuanbao arrived at Widow Liu's house, he heard arguing coming from inside.

"Liu Xianglan, get out here right now!"
