Village Doctor's Path to Prosperity

Yuehai Village is nestled in a corner of Qingyun City. It is surrounded by the sea on one side, boasting beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate. Unfortunately, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with nine peaks forming a ring, making it a poor and isolated place. “After six years away, I, Xu Fang, have returned.” Tonight, a handsome young man hurriedly made his way to the village, a place rarely visited by people even on ordinary days. … 28-year-old Zheng Xiulan lay in bed, unable to sleep. She had been in Yuehai Village for two months, and thinking about her life there filled her with immense bitterness. The constant marriages at home had nearly driven her mad. Hearing that Yuehai Village was short of a village chief, and with the secret help of a friend, the matter was settled—she was to become the village chief of Yuehai Village. She wanted to come here, but somehow her family received the news. As expected, everyone vehemently opposed it. Zheng Xiulan tried to explain that she only wanted a career in government, not to escape marriage. Her father, however, bluntly stated that the village's economy was unlikely to develop, and going there would be a complete waste of time. He suggested she marry the man they had introduced, promising a smooth and successful career in government. Unwilling to obey her parents' arrangements, Zheng Xiulan made a bet with them: if Yuehai Village's economy didn't improve within a year, she would comply with their wishes and accept the arranged marriage. She expected her family to object again, but to her surprise, her father readily agreed. Full of confidence, Zheng Xiulan arrived in the village. With her education, leading a village to development was a piece of cake, right? But after two months, things weren't as easy as Zheng Xiulan had imagined. Nine mountains sandwiched the village, making transportation extremely backward, and the infrastructure incredibly poor. She heard that electricity had only been connected three years ago. Speaking of electricity, this was the reason for her sleepless night. The village's electricity was always unreliable. Around 8 PM, after washing up and going to bed, she wanted to use a hairdryer when she heard a "snap"—the fuse had blown. It was a pity it was so late; the village electricians were all off work, and the only way to get someone to fix it was tomorrow. The dog days of summer were the hottest, and the electric fan couldn't stop the irritability. Zheng Xiulan, wearing only a tank top, was drenched in sweat, her clothes already soaked through. "I'll take another shower, hopefully I can fall asleep," she sighed, getting up and heading outside. "Finally back." Standing outside the main room, Xu Fang was about to push the door open when it opened by itself before his hand even reached the handle. This startled Xu Fang. Holy crap, was the house haunted? Looking closer, he saw a pretty face with double eyelids and large, wide eyes. She was only wearing a tank top, and her ample breasts were quite impressive. The tank top didn't cover much, and for a moment, Xu Fang felt incredibly hot. "A beautiful ghost, no less," Xu Fang chuckled, then his heart skipped a beat. Where in the world could there be a ghost? Could it be a person? Zheng Xiulan finally realized what was happening and was about to scream when the other person swiftly covered themselves. Xu Fang glared menacingly at the person before him, angrily saying, "It's pitch black at night. If you come out, you'll tarnish my innocent reputation!" Zheng Xiulan glared back. Tarnish your reputation? I'm a genuine virgin! You've already seen it all, and now you want to throw this mud at me? How can there be such a shameless person? However, Zheng Xiulan had seen her share of troubles, and her initial panic quickly subsided. If she really attracted attention, it would be even worse for her reputation. Seeing that Zheng Xiulan wasn't struggling or resisting, Xu Fang finally relaxed. Breaking free from Xu Fang, Zheng Xiulan blushed and tried to pull her vest down a bit. "Who are you?" The two asked simultaneously, both startled. "This is my house!" The same answer again, leaving them both momentarily speechless. "You speak first!" Again, in unison, leaving them rather speechless. Zheng Xiulan had initially been wary of this uninvited guest, but these few words gradually eased her mind. If he were truly a villain, he would have already attacked; he wouldn't have given her time to speak. Zheng Xiulan also sized up Xu Fang. His handsome face was clean and he appeared somewhat robust, giving off a sense of confidence and reliability. Xu Fang prepared to turn on the light first; this person was so beautiful, even though the moon was bright, it wasn't as clear as a lamp. "The electricity's fried," Zheng Xiulan reminded him. "I'll go fix it." After Xu Fang left, Zheng Xiulan sat down on a stool. This young man who had suddenly barged into her home had truly bewildered her. A few minutes later, when Xu Fang returned after fixing the electricity, he saw Zheng Xiulan still wearing only a tank top, his eyes fixed on her. Seemingly startled by Xu Fang's intense gaze, Zheng Xiulan suddenly snapped out of her daze. But if she stood up now, wouldn't he see even more? Suppressing her urges, she asked, "Who are you?" "I'm Xu Fang. This is my home. What, did the villagers sell my house?" Xu Fang was somewhat angry. Surname Xu? Hearing Xu Fang's words, Zheng Xiulan finally understood. When she came to the village, the villagers said this family had disappeared, so she was arranged to live here. For two months, she hadn't seen the owners of the house and had gotten used to treating it as her private property. Now the original owners had returned. “I’m the newly appointed village head of Yuehai Village, and I’m staying here temporarily,” Zheng Xiulan briefly explained the situation before adding with a wry smile, “I’ll move out first thing tomorrow morning.” Xu Fang glanced at Zheng Xiulan. Her face was fair, her breasts shapely and full, her legs long and rounded. Although her tank top only partially concealed her figure, she still possessed an air of elegance and poise. If he hadn’t had strong self-control, he probably would have pounced on her already. Taking a deep breath to calm his burning desire, Xu Fang said, “There are no vacant rooms at the other houses, so you can stay here. I’ll sleep in the east room.” With that, Xu Fang glanced at Zheng Xiulan again and turned to walk towards the east room.
