"Alright, the money has been given to you. Now hurry and leave," Li Qingfeng said to Wu Henjian. Upon hearing Li Qingfeng's words, he appeared extremely annoyed.
The original intention of implementing this strategy was to humiliate them, but unexpectedly, Li Qingfeng had easily deciphered it. At this point, any schemes were rendered useless.
Wu Henjian looked at the people before him and nodded directly, saying, "Retreat!"
"Brother, just letting him go like this? No way, Brother!"
The subordinate who had been angered to the point of spitting blood by Li Qingfeng had, at some unknown time, stood up again. Seeing that Wu Henjian intended to leave, he became anxious and grabbed his hand, preventing everyone from departing.
"Not leaving, huh!"
"Fine, then I'll satisfy you!"
Upon hearing this subordinate's words, Li Qingfeng lunged forward and threw a punch directly at the tip of the subordinate's nose.
The subordinate of Wu Henjian let out a cry of pain and was sent flying backward, landing with a thud on the stone bricks in the distance. Seeing his miserable state, Wu Henjian and his companions trembled in fear.
Looking at Li Qingfeng before them, they absolutely refused to stay any longer. They quickly apologized and fled. Seeing their leader escape, the other subordinates also refused to remain.
"Li Qingfeng, you just wait! I will definitely make you regret this!"
Even at this point, this person was still shouting threats. He clutched his backside, extended two fingers, and pointed them at Li Qingfeng's head, yelling.
"If you're not convinced, I'll stand here and let you beat me. But if you can't beat me! Then..."
Li Qingfeng didn't continue his words. However, looking at Wu Henjian's subordinate, who was constantly retreating, he was already terrified and backing away. Because of his words, this fellow stopped his shouting, clutched his face, and left.
Watching the receding figures of Wu Henjian and his subordinates, Li Qingfeng knew that this feud had been established. However, he wasn't afraid of these small fry from Shang Yang Village at all. With their underhanded tactics, ten of them couldn't even match one Jiang Xing.
"Aunt Pan, are you alright?" Turning around, Li Qingfeng looked at Pan Xiaolian beside him and asked.
Upon hearing his question, Pan Xiaolian was startled for a moment, then quickly replied, "Qingfeng, I'm fine!"
Hearing Aunt Pan's reply, Li Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Xiaohu, "Since everyone is alright, you should leave too! Don't come looking for trouble again; you can't beat me!"
Wang Xiaohu nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother Feng, I'll never dare to again. If you need anything in the future, just give the word, and this subordinate will do his best!"
"See you again someday!" Although Wang Xiaohu was a bit unreliable, this was the first time he had made such a promise, which caused Pan Xiaolian to glance at him. Seeing Pan Xiaolian's attention on him, Wang Xiaohu felt an indescribable joy in his heart. Perhaps he had truly encountered someone he admired! However, he also knew that he was not worthy of Pan Xiaolian and just wanted to help them as much as possible.
As soon as Wang Xiaohu left, Li Qingfeng slumped onto the ground, feeling exhausted.
"Qingfeng! How are you? What's wrong, Qingfeng?" Seeing Li Qingfeng suddenly fall, Pan Xiaolian's face turned pale with fright, and she asked anxiously.
Seeing Aunt Pan's worried look, Li Qingfeng quickly waved his hand, "Aunt Pan, I'm fine, just a bit weak from exhaustion. Don't worry, I'll be fine after a rest!"
Pan Xiaolian didn't believe him and stayed by Li Qingfeng's side for a long time until he stood up.
"I told you not to worry! You'll catch a cold!" Li Qingfeng said unhappily, looking at Aunt Pan, who was shivering from the cold morning air.
Hearing his words, Pan Xiaolian shook her head, indicating she was fine. The two of them entered the courtyard together. Because Wu Henjian and his men had caused a disturbance in the courtyard, it was extremely messy. Pan Xiaolian, being a person who preferred cleanliness, frowned upon seeing the scene.
Li Qingfeng understood Aunt Pan's meaning as soon as he saw this and went to pick up a broom. Seeing this, Pan Xiaolian went to fetch water. One swept, and the other mopped, complementing each other perfectly! After a long time, the courtyard was finally cleaned up.
"Aunt Pan, how much debt do we still owe?" Upon hearing Li Qingfeng's question, Pan Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly revealed the truth. In fact, besides the money owed to those hoodlums, the only remaining debt was the bank loan.
"Bank loan? How much?"
"Qingfeng, don't get agitated when I tell you!" Aunt Pan said softly, holding up ten fingers. "Our family owes the bank one hundred thousand yuan!"
Looking at Aunt Pan's ten fingers, Li Qingfeng was dumbfounded. He stared at them in disbelief.
"How much?"
"One hundred thousand yuan. How could our family possibly borrow so much?"
Afterward, Pan Xiaolian shamefully explained the situation. It turned out that when Li Qingfeng's grandfather built the clinic, he had used the land of this production team. When the old man was alive, Bian Liu, the village head of Mopan Gou Village, never bothered them, especially regarding land compensation. The clinic had been operating for many years, and both parties were at peace.
However, after Grandpa Li passed away and Pan Xiaolian took over the clinic, Bian Liu took a fancy to Pan Xiaolian's beauty and constantly used Wang Xiaohu to bully the two people at the clinic. With Wang Xiaohu's bullying, their lives were extremely difficult.
Upon hearing Pan Xiaolian's words, Li Qingfeng felt a surge of anger. He looked at the clinic before him, feeling somewhat at a loss.
"Then Aunt Pan, when is the deadline for the loan we mortgaged?"
"Another three months!"
Upon hearing Aunt Pan's answer, Li Qingfeng rolled his eyes. With only three months left, Aunt Pan didn't seem anxious at all.
"Aunt Pan, have we already saved enough money to repay the bank loan?"
"No, actually, our clinic has been running at a loss recently. It hasn't been profitable for a long time!"
Hearing Aunt Pan's words, Li Qingfeng finally understood everything. It turned out that these were all unavoidable circumstances. However, the money still had to be repaid. He had to find a way to earn some pocket money!
Just then, Li Qingfeng thought of something. The Shennong Hundred Herb Classic! This Shennong Hundred Herb Classic was a very useful treasure left to him by the Divine Physician. It contained methods for cultivating various medicinal herbs.
"How about this, Aunt Pan, I'll go up the mountain later to collect some herbs to supplement our income and save money for the loan!"
