Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209
On a country road, Lin Yifan drove his Toyota Prado, taking Shen Shiyao back to Taoyuan Village.
The trip to the market was quite fruitful for him.
The trunk was filled with medicinal herbs he had bought in the county town.
"Are you still mad about yesterday’s incident?"
Shen Shiyao watched Lin Yifan cautiously.
After a big argument with her two uncles last night, she was embarrassed to go back to him.
Especially since with him in plain sight, she wouldn’t dare to stay openly with him.
"How could I be? Your uncle really cares about you. If my niece brought home some guy of unknown origin, I’d definitely have to check him out too. That’s just the minimum one should do."
Lin Yifan reached out and held Shen Shiyao’s small, delicate hand.
"About the bet with your third uncle, you weren’t just saying that in anger, were you? Big Uncle mentioned you have confidence, but what exactly are you planning to do? I’ve been feeling uneasy, surpassing him in three days is impossible unless you manage to dig up more Wild Ginseng."
Shen Shiyao hadn’t slept much all night.
She was also trying to think of ideas for Lin Yifan.
"It’s not impossible, but it goes against my original intentions. Trust me, God is fair. ’Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad.’ Your third uncle is mad beyond limits, and such a person will naturally be dealt with by fate."
A light rain mixed with the cool autumn wind.
The forest seemed desolate, yet Lin Yifan smiled confidently.
Shen Shiyao couldn’t say more; she could only let Lin Yifan hold her hand.
Fingers intertwined, all she sought was trust.
Seeing the rain getting heavier, if they left the car in town, they couldn’t return on an electric scooter.
Moreover, so many herbs would be doomed if they got damp, so Lin Yifan drove the car all the way back to the village.
At the school gate, he dropped off Shen Shiyao and then headed straight for the threshing ground.
As the car stopped, Lin Yifan opened the door and got out, immediately drawing attention from the nearby villagers.
"This car must be worth at least tens of thousands."
"You’re really clueless, it’s worth at least hundreds of thousands."
"Do you even know cars? That’s a Toyota Prado, it’s worth hundreds of thousands."
Amidst the chatter, Xu Fengxian, who was cleaning inside the house, immediately came out.
"Wow, you went to the county and came back with such a massive car, did you buy it?"
Circling the car, Xu Fengxian naturally didn’t know the price of such an SUV.
In her eyes, the car was big enough.
"Bought a lot of stuff, borrowed it from a friend for use. These are the herbs I brought back from the market."
Lin Yifan didn’t explain much.
He picked up a burlap bag from the trunk and walked inside.
"I said, even a Wild Ginseng couldn’t be traded for such a big car, but look at how those people are drooling over it."
Xu Fengxian naturally helped carry a few bags.
As she walked into the house, she didn’t forget to glance at the distant group of villagers.
Then she swaggered with her snake-like waist, following Lin Yifan into the two-tile house.
This maneuver sparked even more discussion among the distant group.
"Liu the Sixth, why are you still squatting there staring? The car they drive is incredibly expensive. Your Liu Family’s woman seems to have completely run off with someone else this time!"
"The car’s wheel alone is worth more than your broken house. You’ll never get a chance to kiss Widow Xu in your lifetime, you better go check on Widow Zhao now."
Naturally, everyone’s attention turned to Liu the Sixth, who was squatting aside.
With a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes were filled with anger.
"It’s just four wheels; what’s the point of a luxury car? Can it sprout wings and fly? You guys wait and see, soon I’ll make his luxury car slower than a cow."
Stomping out the cigarette stub, Liu the Sixth sneered.
Hearing this, Li Si felt uneasy and quickly lowered his voice to console.
"Liu, don’t act foolishly. If that car gets a scratch, even selling your house wouldn’t cover it. Don’t lose your head."
"I’m not stupid. You just wait and see, soon he’ll be begging all over, and I’ll take your surname."
Liu the Sixth’s eyes flickered, and he wore a defiant expression.
When it came to causing a ruckus, he was an expert.
Outside, the crowd was chattering and laughing, while Lin Yifan and Xu Fengxian were busy inside.
The left room was for storing herbal medicine cabinets, while the right was used as a warehouse.
Looking at the two newly made herbal medicine cabinets, Lin Yifan placed the purchased common medicines inside one by one.
He also added labels on top for easy identification.
"Yifan, opening a clinic in the village will make money, right? Are you truly planning to do this long-term?"
Xu Fengxian was beside him, only wiping off dust.
"As long as you’re capable, you can earn money anywhere. I plan to make the clinic the base for selling our locally produced herbal medicines, and at the same time, handle acquiring herbs. There’s a lot of treasure on our mountain; this way everyone can earn an extra income."
Lin Yifan was only making short-term plans.
As they were talking, the sound of a car engine roared outside.
Soon, several Mercedes and BMWs stopped at the threshing ground.
"Finally decided to come!"
Watching the people getting out of the cars, a hint of hatred flashed in Lin Yifan’s eyes.
Because, it was Qian Jiahao, the same person who had hit him with a wine bottle three years ago.
And following him was the petite woman who was his ex-girlfriend, Su Man.
As their eyes met, a cold smile appeared on Qian Jiahao’s face.
He put his arm around Su Man and walked towards the room.
"Hey hey hey, isn’t this the top scholar from three years ago? I heard you were mentally out for three years and then suddenly got better. I heard about it, and I flew back from abroad just for this."
Qian Jiahao sneered, his face full of disdain.
As for Su Man, she just looked at him coldly.
Her gaze showed no hint of guilt.
"Well, that was quite considerate."
Lin Yifan squinted at him, scrutinizing his face.
In the corners of his eyes, several fine wrinkles appeared, along with a dark aura.
That’s his karmic debt for the evil deeds he’s done.
"Why be polite with me? After all, your girlfriend is constantly begging to sleep with me, and she’s quite inventive about it. For that alone, I’ve got to bring her here to see what kind of life she’d have with a poor guy like you."
Qian Jiahao said as he pinched Su Man’s chin.
She showed no shame, instead looking bashfully.
Her eyes filled with a swirling dark aura, showing the misdeeds she’d done over the years.
"What’s there to boast about wearing someone else’s worn shoes? No matter how good the tricks are, it’s thanks to the previous education."
The sarcastic voice of Xu Fengxian came from the inner room.
"Didn’t you say he never touched you?"
A single sentence changed Qian Jiahao’s previously arrogant expression, and he instinctively looked towards Su Man in his arms.
"Once the pants are pulled up, who’s not a little girl? How would she pick up tricks without experience? She probably even found someone for private lessons."
Not waiting for Su Man to explain, Xu Fengxian stood with her arms crossed beside Lin Yifan.
As the Chao Tian Jiao of Taoyuan Village, her argument skills were extraordinary.
"Don’t talk nonsense, I really didn’t do anything with him... You have to believe me!"
Su Man hurriedly pulled Qian Jiahao to explain.
"Yes, yes, you have to trust her, especially since she tricked even the police. What’s the difference between lying and telling the truth."
Xu Fengxian’s sarcastic tone came forth.
"You ugly old hag, shut your mouth!"
Qian Jiahao, originally there to flaunt, turned bright red.
In a fit of anger, he raised his hand to slap Xu Fengxian.
"Slap!"
