Upon hearing that Qiu Yan wanted to buy barren land again, Zhao Shan no longer questioned her as before.

He joked with a smile, "Xiaoyan, are you and the Li family going to divide this mountain forest equally?"

A while ago, Li Zheng had just bought most of a mountain from him, and now Qiu Yan came to him to buy wasteland, making him quite tempted.

"I'm thinking about helping everyone get rich together." Qiu Yan is helping others and herself.

"Yes, you're right." Zhao Shan grinned from ear to ear.

If Lingnan Village becomes wealthy because of Qiu Yan, then his position as village chief will be more prestigious.

Even now, the village chief of Lingxi Village always tries to get close to him.

"Xiaoyan, when is your second uncle getting married?" Zhao Shan was genuinely anxious for Qiu Dafu. His two children were about to get married, and maybe next year he would even be able to hold his grandson.

"Well, I can't say for sure either." When Qiu Yan mentioned this, all she could think of was the way Jiang Liu's father had refused her.

"Now that you've found your sweetheart, you should hurry up and propose marriage." Zhao Shan thought that Qiu Dafu was really a handful. If he saw Qiu Dafu later, he would have to give him a good talking to.

Hearing Zhao Shan's anxious tone, Qiu Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "You're right."

After Qiu Yan bought the land, she began to have people clear the wasteland.

This time, the village chief helped again. There weren't enough villagers from Lingnan Village, so many villagers from Lingxi Village also came.

Almost overnight, Qiu Yan became known as a...landlord among the villagers.

The three branches of the Qiu family were filled with regret, especially the Qian mother and daughter. They tried to play the victim in front of Qiu Yan for a long time, but they still couldn't get Qiu Yan to hire them.

After all these tasks were completed, Wangyoutang naturally prepared to open for business.

The day before the opening, Qiu Yan rushed to Baiyang.

She had intended to take Gu Xiaoran with her, but before she left, Li Zheng came looking for her.

“Xiaoyan, you’re busy with business all day long. Why don’t you leave Xiaoran and her servant in the village so you can focus on your own business?”

Qiu Yan noticed that Li Zheng had been taking good care of Gu Xiaoran lately, guessing that he must know Xiaoran's identity, so she nodded and said, "That's fine."

Although the Li family has two other children to take care of, Xiao Ran still has Zhu Juan.

Zhu Juan knew her true identity; wherever Qiu Yan told her to go, she went.

Upon hearing Li Zheng's words, Gu Xiaoran strongly objected: "I want to stay with my mother." His big eyes were misty as he clung to Qiu Yan, refusing to get down. "My lightning still needs someone to take care of it."

However, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't change Li Zheng's mind.

Qiu Yan: "I'll take care of Lightning for you."

Gu Xiaoran watched Qiu Yan's carriage drive further and further away, muttering, "I can go by myself without taking a carriage."

As Dr. Hu had previously stated, a free clinic booth was set up in front of the pharmacy on the opening day.

The so-called free clinic offers free diagnosis and affordable medication.

Today, Qiu Yan, Zhao San, and Doctor Hu all arrived early to begin preparations for the free clinic.

As soon as the stall was set up, Qin Feng, dragging his weak body, sat down in front of Qiu Yan's stall.

He gasped for breath and said weakly:

"Qiu Yan, let me take a look first."

He's been coming every day these past few days.

However, Qiu Yan was nowhere to be seen.

Hearing yesterday that Qiu Yan's pharmacy was going to open and offer free medical consultations, he became the first person to do so.

Qiu Yan looked at the mysterious man indifferently and said, "Okay."

Before Qin Feng could be too happy, Qiu Yan turned her head and called out to Doctor Hu, who was busy wiping the counter inside the shop, "Doctor Hu, there is a patient."
