Peerless Little Divine Doctor: The Beautiful CEO Falls for Me
Chapter 50 Taking it a Step Further with His Sister-in-Law
It was Widow Liu.
Holding a lunchbox, she walked to the edge of the field and looked at the bustling scene before her, her eyes filled with an indescribable complex expression.
"Yuanbao..." she said, "Is...is this our land?"
Chen Yuanbao patted the seat next to him, gesturing for her to sit down.
Widow Liu hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down.
"Sister-in-law, this is our land." Chen Yuanbao looked ahead and said slowly, "It used to be a barren mountain, but it will become a gold mine in the future."
As Widow Liu looked at the land that was being planned, leveled, and developed, her eyes slowly reddened.
"Yuanbao..."
"Um?"
I had a dream these past two days.
"What kind of dream did you have?"
Widow Liu lowered her head and whispered:
"I had a dream, I dreamt about your cousin."
Chen Yuanbao's heart skipped a beat.
"He said...he told me..." Widow Liu said, her voice trembling with tears, "Yuanbao is a very outstanding child, and he can rest easy down there. He also said..."
She paused for a moment, then tears fell from her eyes:
"He also told me not to stay alone anymore."
Chen Yuanbao did not speak again.
He gazed at the land ahead, watching the busy workers, and saw Xuan Yi's white-clad figure in the distance, and further away, where Jiang Wenyuan's gold-rimmed glasses reflected the light.
He turned his head after a while.
Widow Liu lowered her head so low it almost touched her knees, tears dripping down her faded white shirt.
Chen Yuanbao stretched out his hand.
His hands were rough and covered in mud from the paddy field.
He gently took Liu's trembling hand, which was resting on his knee, into his own.
Widow Liu shuddered.
She wanted to take it back.
But there was no twitching.
Chen Yuanbao held it tightly.
It wasn't the kind of tightness that was rough, but rather the kind of tightness that made me feel "I don't want to loosen up."
"Sister-in-law," Chen Yuanbao said softly but steadily, "from today onwards you have a powerful backer."
"Half of this land belongs to you."
"These days..."
He looked at the sun ahead, his eyes resolute:
"We live together."
Widow Liu burst into tears.
These weren't tears of grievance.
It was the first time in my life I had shed tears of "having a home".
In the distant village, several elderly women had gathered, craning their necks to look in this direction.
"Oh dear, look!"
"That fool is holding Widow Liu's hand!"
"So that means it's settled, right?"
"Judging from the looks of it... it's probably true..."
"Oh dear, Widow Liu has finally made it..."
The voices were low, but they traveled far.
Neither Chen Yuanbao nor Widow Liu turned around on the ridge of the field.
The setting sun cast long, long shadows of the two people onto the newly turned earth.
On the seventh day of the competition, Jiang Wenyuan's team completed the land leveling first.
The 30 mu of land has been divided into many plots, irrigation pipes have been installed, and soil testing reports have been released.
On Xuan Yi's side, although the progress was slow, he managed to finish the job on the eighth day.
Both reported to Chen Yuanbao, "Boss Chen, you can start planting now."
Chen Yuanbao said with a smile, "You two have worked hard."
After seeing both groups off, Chen Yuanbao returned home and called Widow Liu over.
"Sister-in-law," he said, taking a small earthenware jar from the cabinet, "this contains spiritual spring water."
Widow Liu carefully accepted it.
The water in the earthenware pot was crystal clear and had a faint blue glow.
"Sister-in-law, just do as I say." Chen Yuanbao said, taking out a small notebook from his pocket. "I bought the first batch of medicinal herb seedlings from Baicaotang in the county town. They'll arrive first thing tomorrow morning. You're in charge of organizing the women in the village to plant the seedlings."
Widow Liu nodded and asked, "What should we plant?"
"Ginseng, angelica, codonopsis, astragalus," Chen Yuanbao named the medicinal herbs one by one. "These are all precious medicinal herbs."
Widow Liu stared wide-eyed and asked, "Yuanbao, will these survive? We've never grown ginseng here before!"
Chen Yuanbao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, dilute this jar of water into a bucket of clean water, and use the diluted water to water the seedlings. One spoonful of water is enough for each seedling."
"Huh? Just one spoonful?"
"Just one spoonful."
Widow Liu took the pottery jar with some skepticism.
……
The next morning, the transport vehicle that Chen Yuanbao hired delivered the medicinal herb seedlings.
Truckloads of fresh, tender green seedlings were moved to the fields behind the mountain.
Led by Widow Liu, more than twenty women in the village planted the seedlings one by one.
After planting, start watering.
The ratio of "spiritual spring water to clear water" that Chen Yuanbao used was something he figured out himself.
A jar of spiritual spring water is mixed with an entire large water vat of clean water. The resulting water has a spiritual energy concentration that is sufficient to promote the growth of medicinal herbs without being too exaggerated and arousing suspicion.
When watering, everything looks very ordinary.
The village women chatted as they watered the plants:
"Yuanbao is a very bright child."
"Yeah, who would have thought that he would turn out like this today, with his silly and naive appearance?"
"I think Widow Liu is blessed."
"Didn't you see? The two of them were holding hands on the edge of the field just a couple of days ago..."
Widow Liu listened from the side, her face as red as a monkey's bottom, but she couldn't help but smile.
……
the next morning.
Widow Liu went to the back mountain early in the morning to check.
She was stunned when she arrived at the field.
The medicinal herb seedlings were planted just yesterday.
They all turned green overnight!!!
The seedlings that were originally withered and yellow have now turned into lush green seedlings, and their leaves have opened up, as if they are stretching towards the sun.
Even more amazingly, the entire back mountain was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.
The fragrance is crisp and long-lasting, similar to the scent found in traditional Chinese medicine shops, but purer and more refreshing.
Widow Liu's mouth was wide open, and she couldn't close it for a long time.
"This...this..."
She stumbled back to the village, arrived at Chen Yuanbao's house, and knocked on the door:
"Yuanbao! Yuanbao! Look! Those seedlings! Those seedlings..."
Chen Yuanbao was drinking porridge in the house when he heard Widow Liu's voice and slowly put down his bowl.
"Sister-in-law, please speak slowly, please speak slowly."
"The seedlings! The seedlings have turned green!" Widow Liu exclaimed excitedly, almost incoherently. "They all turned green overnight! The whole back mountain smells of herbs!"
Chen Yuanbao smiled.
He had long anticipated this outcome.
The effects of the spiritual spring water were much better than he had imagined.
"Sister-in-law, don't get agitated." He stood up slowly and said, "I'll go with you to take a look."
……
The two arrived at the back of the mountain.
Chen Yuanbao was also startled when he saw it.
Under the spiritual gaze, each medicinal herb seedling emitted a faint green glow, a sign of abundant spiritual energy.
