“You traveled here overnight?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes,” Cao Hui said .
“So, he’s made a decision?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, he decided to confess all of the crimes he has committed to the police,” Cao Hui said .
“OK, I will treat him after he has spoken to the police,” Wang Yao said .
“You…” Cao Hui tried to say something .
“You don’t trust me?” Wang Yao knew the purpose of her visit now .
“I’m a bit concerned,” Cao Hui said . She thought she should make it clear .
“Haha, I will keep my promise,” Wang Yao said .
Cao Hui kept silent for a moment . It was just a verbal promise from Wang Yao, which meant nothing . However, she didn’t have any other choice .
“Can you go to Beijing with me?” Cao Hui asked .
“No, that’s not possible,” Wang Yao said . “To be honest, do you really think I will care about them? They asked for it . ”
The reason he spent time talking to Cao Hui was because she still had something good inside her . Although she offered Cao Meng help, she was a completely different person than Cao Meng .
Cao Hui kept silent again . She didn’t know what to say . She was in a different situation this time . Wang Yao was dominating . She had nothing with which to bargain with him .
Maybe this is karma, Cao Hui thought .
“Sorry to bother you,” she said after thinking for a while .
She had traveled thousands of times, day and night to this village, and only spoke to Wang Yao for less than half an hour .
“Not at all, bye,” Wang Yao said .
Cao Hui left the clinic when it was noon, the hottest time of the day .
Zhong Liuchuan and Zhong Anxin came to the clinic in the afternoon . Zhong Anxin had fully recovered and was now quite healthy .
“Where are you two going?” Wang Yao asked .
“Actually, we plan to stay here . I’m going to buy a property in the village,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
He had decided to buy an apartment in Lianshan town center and a house in the village . Zhong Anxin could live on campus . He could take care of his sister in the town center .
“Sounds like a good idea,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
The residents who used to live in the village chose to leave while outsiders wanted to move in .
On the other hand, Zhen Weijun was about to leave the village . He no longer required a wheelchair and walking stick . He could ambulate independently but slowly . He had a walk around the village every day .
“Uncle, I have to go back soon,” Zhen Weijun said .
“I see . I know you have to go,” Zhen Shixiong said .
“Actually I don’t wanna go back . I like it here,” Zhen Weijun said .
The longer he stayed in the village, the more he liked it here . The village was a peaceful and relaxed place . Zhen Weijun didn’t need to worry about the fight, schemes, and all the dirty things in the business world . He didn’t need to worry about the wrestling between different family members .
There were rarely any cars coming and out of the village . The size of the population was very small . There was no noisy factory in the village . The pace of life was really slow . People took their time to do everything . He often made himself a cup of tea and had a good think about his life when he had nothing else to do .
After leaving the village, he had to say goodbye to his peaceful lifestyle and return to the real world .
“You don’t belong here anyway,” Zhen Shixiong said .
A person’s life was probably arranged at the moment he or she was born . It was one’s destiny to be rich or poor, or an elite or someone average .
Zhen Weijun kept silent for a while . “I really envy Dr . Wang . ”
“He doesn’t belong to the mundane world,” Zhen Shixiong said .
Although Wang Yao still interacted with people through his clinic, he didn’t appear to belong to the mundane world . He was not a recluse, but there was a big difference between him and people like Sun Yunsheng and Zhen Weijun .
There were not many patients coming to the clinic in the afternoon . Wang Yao closed the clinic earlier than usual . When he arrived home, he found his mother was cleaning a wild rabbit .
“You went to town?” Wang Yao asked .
“No, this was given by Zecheng . I asked him to take it away, but he just left it here . He has lost a lot of weight,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“Wang Zecheng?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yeah . You know he used to be really terrible to Yilong and really lazy . Now, he’s a completely different person,” Zhang Xiuying said .
Everyone in the village could see the change .
“He has changed,” Wang Yao said .
“How do you want me to cook the rabbit? Cook it with soy sauce?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“It’s up to you, I’m not fussy,” Wang Yao said .
He stayed at home with his parents for some time after dinner . It was 9 p . m . by the time he left for Nanshan Hill . There was no one outside . The lights along the road were still on .
Roar! A shaking motorcycle came into the village from the north and stopped next to Wang Yao .
“Hello, Dr . Wang . ” It was Wang Zecheng .
“Hello, you are back so late,” Wang Yao said .
“Yeah, I just went to do an extra shift,” Wang Zecheng said .
Actually, it was not late for Wang Zecheng at all . He normally came back after 10 p . m . His boss didn’t have much work for him in the past few days . He actually wanted to work more to make more money .
Wang Zecheng looked very tired under the street light . After all, he had to work over 10 hours every day . His did labor work, so it was no wonder he was very tired .
“I’ve told you not to get too tired . You need a proper rest,” Wang Yao said .
“I know . I’ll take the day off tomorrow,” Wang Zecheng said .
He was exhausted, but he felt his life was full . He really didn’t have other choices .
“You can try some other work,” Wang Yao said .
“Like what?” Wang Zecheng asked .
“Grow herbs,” Wang Yao said .
“Who would want herbs?” Wang Zecheng asked .
“I do,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“But, I’ve never grown herbs before,” Wang Zecheng said .
“Have you done farming?” Wang Yao asked . “It is pretty much like farming . ”
Wang Zecheng kept silent for a while before saying . “It sounds like a good idea . I can try . ”
“Good,” Wang Yao said .
“Thank you,” Wang Zecheng sincerely said .
“Go home, your family is waiting for you,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Zecheng’s motorcycle made a turn at the end of a stone bridge and headed west before it disappeared in the dark .
Wang Yao had thought about teaching people to grow herbs a long time ago . After he had decided to go ahead with the pharmaceutical company, he had to have sources for herbs as soon as possible . His company had to use natural herbs, not the ones containing chemicals .
He had limited space in the herbal field for a large amount of herbs . Plus, he planned to grow licorice roots predominantly in his herbal field . He needed a large amount of common herbs elsewhere . He couldn’t rely on a supplier to get common herbs because he wouldn’t have control of the quality of herbs . Therefore, he wanted to ask villagers who didn’t move to the town center to grow herbs for him .
He had also thought about growing common herbs on Dongshan Hill since Xishan Hill had become a deadly place . It was better not to grow anything on Xishan Hill .
That was why he made such a suggestion to Wang Zecheng .
It was very quiet in the village .
“Grow herbs?” Wang Zecheng’s wife was surprised . “Why do you suddenly want to grow herbs?”
“I bumped into Yao this evening . He suggested it,” Wang Zecheng said .
“But, we’ve never grown herbs before,” his wife said .
“I don’t think it is too difficult . It should be similar to farming . You have nothing to do at home anyway,” Wang Zecheng said .
“OK, let’s give it a try,” his wife said .
“I don’t work tomorrow . I’ll talk with Yao about it,” Wang Zecheng said .
“Sounds good,” his wife said .
