Peach Blossom Divine Medical God

"Divine Doctor Chen, let’s talk outside."

Seeing that Li Xuemei had fallen asleep, Li Sihai immediately invited Chen Yang and Wang Hong to speak outside to avoid disturbing her rest.

Chen Yang nodded slightly and followed Li Sihai and Chen Xiuzhi out of the room.

"Divine Doctor! Thank you!"

As soon as they stepped out of the room, Chen Xiuzhi couldn’t help but burst into tears of joy and even wanted to kneel to express her gratitude to Chen Yang.

"Ma’am, please don’t do this, you don’t need to do this."

Fortunately, Chen Yang quickly caught her, preventing her from kneeling.

"Ma’am, this was an agreement between me and Village Chief Li, there’s no need for such over-the-top thanks. Besides, I’m a doctor, treating people is my duty." As he helped Chen Xiuzhi up, Chen Yang responded courteously.

Li Sihai, standing beside them, was equally grateful to him at that moment.

"Chen Yang, there’s no need to be modest. You cured my daughter; no matter how you look at it, you’re a benefactor to our family!" Li Sihai also expressed.

Chen Yang was momentarily speechless; he wasn’t fond of such an atmosphere.

"Village Chief Li, calling me a benefactor is too much. Just fulfill our agreement and lead Fuling Village towards a better development direction." Chen Yang replied.

Li Sihai heard this and nodded without hesitation.

"I will certainly do this. I will make every effort to ensure the village’s coal mine cooperates with you," Li Sihai affirmed.

"Good, that’s all I need to hear."

Chen Yang was very satisfied with Li Sihai’s response.

It seems that the coal mine in Fuling Village is firmly in the bag.

He could even call Wang Jingman later to inform her to prepare the funds for the cooperation with Fuling Village at any time.

"Village Chief Li, are you home?"

Just as Chen Yang had cured Li Xuemei and agreed on cooperation with Li Sihai, a villager around 30 or 40 years old suddenly walked in from outside.

"Old Ma, why are you here? What’s the matter?" Li Sihai glanced at the villager and asked.

The man called Old Ma apparently didn’t recognize Chen Yang and assumed he was a guest or relative of Li Sihai.

"Village Chief Li, you have guests, but some leaders and a few tycoons have come to the village committee and said they have important matters to discuss with you. You should go over there." Old Ma responded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, both Li Sihai and Chen Yang instinctively looked at each other.

Chen Yang understood that it must be the Gu Family bringing some officials to discuss the village coal mine with Li Sihai.

And Li Sihai thought the same.

"Alright, I know. I’ll head over right away." Li Sihai replied to Old Ma.

Old Ma gave a grunt of acknowledgment and left Li Sihai’s house, merely passing by to deliver the message and having little to do with the matter.

"Chen Yang, it looks like that Gu Family you mentioned is here to discuss the coal issues with me." After Old Ma left, Li Sihai took the initiative to share his thoughts with Chen Yang.

"Yes, it’s definitely them." Chen Yang nodded slightly, not saying much more.

Li Sihai understood and, noticing Chen Yang’s silence, clarified his stance.

"Then I’ll go take a look. Rest assured, I’ll keep my promise. Our Fuling Village and your Liuhe Village are like family villages, so I’m more willing to cooperate with you." Li Sihai smiled and made a remark, then left directly.

Seeing his attitude, Chen Yang felt completely relieved.

With his firm words, the Gu Family definitely couldn’t take Fuling Village.

"Yang Zi, shouldn’t we go and take a look too?"

After Li Sihai left, Wang Hong came over with some curiosity and asked.

"Why should we go and look?" Chen Yang didn’t answer but instead asked a question in return.

"Aren’t you curious about how their talk will go? And if you go, the Gu Family will definitely know that we’re determined to get this coal mine. Once they realize our connection with Fuling Village, they might just back off." Wang Hong suggested.

Poof.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

"Yang Zi, why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?" Wang Hong was puzzled by Chen Yang’s laughter.

"Auntie, between me and the Gu Family, who’s stronger? Although we have the advantage, if the Gu Family sees us there, they won’t just back off; it might make them anxious, leading them to continuously pressure Fuling Village, and things would only get more complicated." Chen Yang explained with a smile.

Wang Hong’s thinking was simple; she had no understanding of such commercial games. However, she understood Chen Yang’s explanation.

After all, the reasoning behind desperation is not difficult to grasp.

"Oh, I get it. If we don’t show up and Village Chief Li declines them, they might not take it seriously. But if we appeared with Village Chief Li, the Gu Family would become alert." Wang Hong understood.

"Exactly, that’s the principle. So it’s better for us to wait here, and Village Chief Li should bring back good news." Chen Yang spoke as he conveniently sat down in the main room.

Seeing this, Wang Hong smiled and sat down as well, waiting in the hall with Chen Yang.

After waiting for about an hour, Li Sihai returned from the village committee.

Seeing his smiling face, it was evident that there was good news.

"Chen Yang, I’ve sent them away." Li Sihai entered the door and immediately spoke to Chen Yang with a smile.

"Village Chief Li, what did you say to them?"

For some reason, Wang Hong was very curious about this matter, and when she saw Li Sihai had returned, she stood up to ask about the situation before Chen Yang did.

Knowing that Chen Yang would also be concerned, Li Sihai smiled and began to speak to Chen Yang.

"Chen Yang, your guess was spot on. The Gu Family came down with some officials offering six hundred thousand per household to buy out our Fuling Village’s coal mine with no other conditions."

"I made some excuses to decline them and tried to negotiate, but they seemed confident and stuck to a maximum of six hundred thousand per household, insisting we consider it carefully before ending the discussion."

With a smile, Li Sihai explained the entire situation to Chen Yang, finding the Gu Family’s actions laughable.

Chen Yang felt the same.

The Gu Family, relying on their connections, arrogantly set such a low price. Do they take everyone else for fools?

"That’s typical behavior for the Gu Family, not surprising," Chen Yang laughed.

"Those people are utterly unreasonable! Our village’s coal mine is so high-grade, and they think they can fob us off with six hundred thousand per household? They’re dreaming," Chen Xiuzhi angrily remarked after hearing Li Sihai’s account.

Though she didn’t understand much, she could tell from Chen Yang’s conversations that the coal mine was significant.
