Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

"I'm here to apologize," said Zhang Xiaoman weakly.

Apologize? Apologize for what? Xia Liu couldn't understand. Did she do something to hurt Xiaoxue?

"My parents were previously rude to your cousin and you..."

"Alright, haven't we put that behind us? Let's not bring it up again." Xia Liu felt somewhat depressed, for that matter had already passed, and he wasn't so narrow-minded.

"Then I want to go dive for oysters and earn some living expenses," Zhang Xiaoman suddenly jumped up from the bed and hugged Xia Liu.

The moment she entered his arms, Xia Liu felt a burning heat as he realized she wasn't wearing anything...

Clenching his teeth, Xia Liu picked up a thin silk blanket to wrap Zhang Xiaoman in: "Now your dad can make more than four thousand in a day, and with your mom, it's over five thousand. You still have more than a month till school starts, do you think you won't have enough living expenses?"

Listening to Xia Liu, Zhang Xiaoman fell silent. She wanted to throw off the blankets, but Xia Liu was holding them firmly, making it impossible for her to break free.

"Yes, it's enough for me, but I just want to give myself to you, only then can I feel at ease."

"..."

"When you had just returned, I scolded you, and my family did too. I made my cousin suffer for two years; I'm the sinner and hope you can punish me."

"No need, if you can achieve good grades in the future, that'll be the best payback for us. Don't make Xiaoxue sad, go back and sleep," said Xia Liu as he pushed Zhang Xiaoman out of the door. He felt this was no simple matter; although the girl was impulsive, Xiaoxue was under the same roof, and if he really did anything, it would definitely lead to trouble.

"Brother Xia Liu, you don't have to do this, it's really harmful to your body to use your hand. I can just imagine you, holding your phone looking at my nude photos, and then..."

"Oh come on, my phone broke last time and the photos were long gone, don't leave, listen to me explain..."

Watching Zhang Xiaoman hurry away, Xia Liu understood that explanations were useless now; he was bound to be misunderstood by this girl to the end...

Unable to calm his mind, Xia Liu could only sit cross-legged on the bed and practice the Five Elements Mantra to ease some of his troubles.

Early in the morning, Xia Liu went for a walk on the mountaintop; workers and several strong men from the village had worked overtime until eleven the night before and completed three tin houses covering six acres!

Pleased with the outcome, Xia Liu drove to the beach where villagers had already gathered two thousand pounds of oysters, with Zhang Xiaoman and Zhang Xiaoxue keeping records on the side.

Five thousand pounds of oysters couldn't be hauled in one trip, so Xia Liu loaded over two thousand pounds onto his truck to make a first trip to the county.

This time, after weighing the oysters, he didn't go to the office. Ever since he caught a glimpse of the "fairy" Huang Xue, every time he saw her, it was as if he could see right through her clothes, which was excruciatingly painful.

But due to the contract, he couldn't avoid going, so he decided to wait and return later to settle the accounts together, reducing his encounters with her.

After leaving the hotel, Xia Liu went to the shop where he previously bought chicks. As soon as the owner saw him, he was treated with the best tea and service; after all, this was a big-spending customer who had bought five thousand chicks in one go!

When Xia Liu mentioned the number of chicks he wanted to purchase, the shop owner was nearly scared witless.

"Twenty thousand chicks! Boss Xia isn't joking, is he?" The owner was stunned for a moment, as the quantity was rather large, and his facility couldn't possibly raise that many.

"No kidding, Osmanthus Village as always. Have it sent to me, and I'll give you the cash when it arrives," Xia Liu had wanted to transfer the money, but he didn't have cash in his account.

"Hahaha, that works!" The boss had been happy from the start. Those twenty thousand chicken seedlings were worth sixty thousand yuan, with which he could make twenty to thirty thousand in one go. Even if he got half the money up front and the rest in installments, that was fine with him.

Afterward, Xia Liu ordered a lot of feed. With such large-scale breeding, relying solely on the weeds and bugs from the mountains to keep all those chickens alive was impossible, so feed was essential.

By the time Xia Liu got back to the village, two trucks had also arrived, loaded full with the chicken seedlings, and the boss had personally accompanied the delivery.

When they saw Xia Liu's breeding base, the truck drivers and the boss were almost ready to kneel before him. Using such a vast area for breeding, and so many chickens, meant a significant investment. They couldn't understand how Osmanthus Village, the poorest in Hejing County, could also have a day of access and development.

Not long after, two more trucks arrived. Once all the chicken seedlings were settled, Xia Liu went home to get seventy thousand in cash to pay the boss for both the chicken seedlings and the feed.

However, Xia Liu stored only a two-day supply of feed on the mountain; the rest he kept at home. No one knew why he left it there.

Seeing Xia Liu had brought back the chicken seedlings, the women who had come earlier quickly went up the mountain to tend to them. They all felt incredibly guilty; Xia Liu had continued to pay them wages despite them being idle at home. The arrival of the chicken seedlings invigorated them; now they could earn their wages with peace of mind.

Xia Liu was delighted with this. These women's families each had a few able workers. Some had sons or husbands who were harvesting oysters; others had daughters-in-law picking atractylodes. It was most suitable for them to manage the chicken seedlings.

Before leaving, Xia Liu gave them a few bags and asked them to collect the fallen osmanthus flowers in their spare time.

The women agreed without hesitation. It was no bother at all; with so many osmanthus trees on the mountain, they could sweep up a bagful of osmanthus in less than ten minutes with a broom.

When Xia Liu was driving to the seaside, he brought along more than two hundred thousand in cash, planning to distribute it directly to everyone. After all, the money was of no use just sitting at home.

To Xia Liu's surprise, they had exactly five thousand jin of oysters this time, not more, not less. Upon inquiring, he found out that the villagers had put the surplus back in the water to retrieve the next day.

What pleased Xia Liu the most was that everyone shared equally, regardless of how much they had caught!

That is, they divided the money from the five thousand jin of oysters equally; no one took more.

When Xia Liu had proposed limits, he intended to even out everyone's income. Today, they had finally achieved that balance.

The villagers understood Xia Liu's intention; as soon as Li Zhi suggested this, everyone agreed. They were all farmers born and bred, making so much in one day, what else could they possibly ask for?

Xia Liu handed the money to Zhang Xiaoxue and drove off, possibly leaving ten or twenty thousand behind, which he told them to split between themselves.

This got Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang Xiaoman excitedly planting kisses on Xia Liu's face, causing the villagers at the scene to chuckle heartily.

Clutching two lists, Xia Liu knocked on the office door with some trepidation. He quietly recited the Five Elements Mantra, hoping not to embarrass himself in front of Huang Xue.

To his surprise, it was Fang Fei who opened the door. According to her, once Huang Xue was sure she was cured, she resigned and left.

"What? The fairy left?" Xia Liu was surprised and felt a pang of regret.

"Yeah, that damn fairy left. Are you feeling disappointed? You know, if you had realized this earlier, you could have sweet-talked her into sleeping with you before she left," Fang Fei said with a sly smile looking at Xia Liu.
