Chapter 377 She is indeed not a person who waits for an idle moment!

On the two-foot-wide ridge of the field, Wang Ziru took off the burden on her shoulders, handed it to Han Suijing, pointed in the direction of the open space on the slope ahead, and stepped aside to make way for him.

A pair of almond-shaped eyes then looked at the gray-clothed man who was striding towards them. He had a face as white as jade, black hair, a thin figure, and an air of humility and gentleness.

Han Suijing picked up the shoulder pole swiftly and introduced: "Zi Ru, this is the head of the Bai family, Bai Pinheng. You can call him Teacher Bai."

"Teacher Bai?" Wang Ziru's eyes turned slightly. It turned out that the head of the Bai family was a teacher.

It seems that the Bai family has no successor, and there is indeed no other son to support the family business.

Bai Pinheng originally thought that Han Suijing's daughter-in-law was also a military wife with curly hair and fashionable clothes.

Who would have thought that she was not dressed like a soldier's wife, but looked like a young village farm wife, with two black braids, an oval face, a pair of expressive eyes, and a clear appearance.

Wearing a straw hat, he was willing to stay in the mountains, doing the rough farming work that the wives of soldiers in the family compound despised...

The speech he had prepared in advance was of no use at this moment. He was slightly startled and smiled humbly: "Hello... My name is Bai Pinheng."

"My name is Wang Ziru. I wonder if Teacher Bai has anything to do in the village?" Wang Ziru asked confidently.

Bai Pinheng stood on the ridge on the other side of the 90-degree turn, pointed at Han Suijing's back as he carried his load, and said with a wry smile, "I heard that Han Bingtuan's wife is a very good doctor, so I came all the way from Tengchong to visit you."

"And then?" Bathed in the dazzling sunlight, Wang Ziru looked indifferent.

"My eldest brother, Bai Linyan, was shot five years ago. His legs are disabled and he can't stand or walk. He has been paralyzed for five years. So I wonder if Comrade Ziru can help my brother cure his leg disease?" Bai Pinheng stood on the edge of the field with his thin body, being stared at by Wang Ziru's bright eyes. He was inexplicably at a loss.

Wang Ziru smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I've been paralyzed for five years. How can I cure it?"

The man standing on the ridge of the field frowned upon hearing this and said, "No, it can't be cured? Comrade Ziru, you haven't seen my elder brother yet. Maybe his leg can still be cured."

"Where are the others? Have they been brought here?"

"This..." Bai Pinheng was delighted and hurriedly took two steps closer, explaining embarrassedly, "It's a long way from my home town of Fenghuang to here. Moreover, after my eldest brother became paralyzed, he needed help from others for things like going to the bathroom. So, it's not very convenient for him to suddenly sit in a car for a whole day."

In fact, given his elder brother's situation, not only he himself was unwilling to travel far.

Even if Wang Ziru couldn't cure his leg disease, wouldn't it be a wasted trip? !

Wang Ziru did not continue the conversation. She turned her head and looked in the direction where Han Suijing was carrying the bag. She said in a neutral tone, "You are a teacher? The school is on vacation, right?"

"Haha, I used to be a teacher. But after my eldest brother got into trouble, my dad was devastated and couldn't manage the family business, so I withdrew from school and took care of some things at home."

"So your eldest brother was originally going to retire and come home to take charge of your family business?"

"Well, not entirely." Bai Pinheng's eyes were dim, and he followed Wang Ziru to the direction of the bright sunshine at the front of the valley, and said slowly: "Before my eldest brother got into trouble, he was also the commander of the Yun Province Military Division, wearing glory."

"In those years, the Bai family was very busy. My parents wanted my second brother to take over the family business so that my eldest brother could realize his lofty ideal of protecting the country. But later, as my second and eldest brothers met with accidents one after another, I, the most insignificant man in the Bai family, had to step forward."

The two of them walked one in front and one behind through the wide fields.

The gentle mountain breeze, mixed with the clean scent of the forest, makes one feel relaxed and comfortable.

Wang Ziru paused and looked back at the young man who looked a little depressed. "Excuse me, what happened to your second brother?"

The man following behind also stopped, and the serene expression on his face disappeared in an instant.

Bai Pinheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly closed, and his voice was deep: "That year, on the eve of his 23rd birthday, my second brother left us forever."

The air around me froze slightly.

"I'm sorry! I made you feel uncomfortable when we first met."

Wang Ziru turned around and walked quickly towards where Han Suijing stopped.

There was a large piece of reclaimed land on the top of the slope in front. Wang Ziru planned to experiment with growing medicinal herbs, so after turning the field over, she watered it and spread some farm fertilizer.

Bai Pinheng felt really upset. Whenever he heard about his second brother, the events of the past would inevitably come to his mind again.

He followed Wang Ziru to the hillside and looked around at the empty farmland. He then noticed that there were some small medicinal seedlings in the two scoops. He smiled faintly and said, "Comrade Ziru, are you planning to transplant the seedlings here?"

"Yes, you recognize these seedlings?" Wang Ziru was a little surprised.

When he just heard Han Suijing call him "Teacher Bai", he thought that the other party didn't recognize these medicinal seedlings.

Who knew that he not only recognized her, but also rolled up his sleeves and glanced at her, "I'll help you plant it, and we can chat while we work."

Han Suijing raised his hand and glanced at his watch, his eyes gentle: "Zi Ru, then you guys chat first, I have to go back."

"It's okay, go back and get busy."

The two of them stood on the edge of the field and watched Han Suijing Jianshuo's back gradually disappear among the mottled shadows of the trees.

Bai Pinheng then slowly said, "Back then, the three major families in Yixi had several fights over their respective businesses. Originally, our Bai family had always been in Tengchong, and everyone tacitly accepted that it was the Bai family's business scope."

"But later, as the Duan family and the Zhou family entered Tengchong, especially when the Duan family discovered ore in Baiteng Town, the balance between the three families was instantly broken by interests."

"My second brother was unwilling to give up and wanted to take back the ore in Baiteng Town, so he had a dispute with the Zhou and Duan families. He was a kind-hearted man. In order to protect the workers, he was unfortunately seriously injured in the fierce fight and died soon after."

The mountain breeze was crisp, whistling past their ears.

What surprised Wang Ziru the most was Bai Pinheng's eagle-like gaze. He looked straight ahead, sharp and deep!

It instantly overturned the elegant impression he left on Wang Ziru.

After a while, Wang Ziru walked to the field with a hoe in her hand and slowly found her voice. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that the three major families in Yixi had a fight. So, does the Bai family have any dealings with the other two families now?"

Bai Pinheng slowly withdrew his distant gaze, his face taking on a somewhat cold expression, and his slender figure followed him into the field.

"We both have our own businesses, so there is no need for us to interact with each other."

He works very efficiently and doesn't look like a man from a wealthy family at all.

He skillfully dug a hole in the field, and then together with Wang Ziru, transplanted all the small seedlings in the two scoops into the soil. "The seedlings that have just been transplanted need to be watered, otherwise they will dry out and die."

He straightened his thin waist and looked around. "Is there a well in the village? I'll fetch two buckets of water and water it."

"A well? It's right next to the Yang family's yard. No, Teacher Bai, I'm afraid you can't carry the water, so I'd better go and get half a bucket of water to water it myself." Wang Ziru pointed to a big tree beside the Yang family's yard, and under the tree was a well.

But she was also worried that Mr. Bai was just a teacher after all, and he was weak and it would be a bit difficult for him to fetch water.

"I'm a man, so I can carry water. Please wait here."

Half an hour later.

The two of them watered the seedlings together, completing the transplanting work of the first batch of medicinal herb seedlings.

Wang Ziru squatted on the ridge of the field and observed for a moment, then looked up at the man standing beside her, "Thank you so much today. However, your elder brother, I haven't seen him yet, so I'm not sure whether I can cure his leg disease. I have to see him in person and check it out before I know."

"You might consider bringing him to Queensland."

Bai Pinheng looked embarrassed. He wanted to let his brother go on a long journey, and he couldn't say that he couldn't do it.

Even if his parents came forward, they might not be able to convince him. Moreover, his eldest brother had a bad temper and looked gloomy and scary. Most outsiders would be scared away when they saw him.

He squatted down as well, and after a pause, he asked, "I'd like to ask Comrade Ziru to go to the Bai family."

"Ah? Going to your house?" Wang Ziru was a little embarrassed. She remembered that when they were going from Xiong District to Baiteng Town, the military vehicles did not stop much along the way and ran all night.

"If Comrade Ziru agrees, I will stay at the town guesthouse tonight, and you will go to Fenghuang Town with me tomorrow morning."

Seeing Bai Pinheng's anxious look, Wang Ziru's eyes hesitated slightly. It was not impossible for her to go to Bai's house.

But for her, the journey was too long and she didn't want to take such a long car ride.

"Don't worry! As long as you agree to treat my eldest brother, the Bai family will definitely give you a considerable gift as a reward." Thinking that Wang Ziru was waiting for a reward, Bai Pinheng looked serious with a firm look on his face, "Of course, you can also put forward conditions, as long as the Bai family can do it."

Wang Ziru's pretty face paused, her eyes flashing with interest, "Your eldest brother must be irreplaceable to the Bai family. Tell me, if I can help him stand up again, what kind of reward can the Bai family give me?"

"you……"

She is definitely not one to wait!

She dared to ask for a reward before even seeing the patient. So, the relationship between her and the Duan family must be just one of interests?

That's very good.

Bai Pinheng stood up slowly with his slender body, looking at the woman in front of him who also stood up, with a sense of arrogance and pride in his eyes.

"Let's not talk about the distant future, let's talk about the present. I heard that the Han Corps is currently worried about building dormitories for the soldiers. The Bai family has its own construction workers and masons. I can help him build dormitories in the shortest time possible."

Wang Ziru chuckled and said calmly, "What does the army's affairs have to do with me?"

"..." Bai Pinheng thought that the woman in front of him, who was wholeheartedly trying to help her husband, would be happy to hear that the Bai family was helping to build the troops' dormitories, but she didn't care.

Bai Pinheng's eyes relaxed for a few seconds. "You may not know that among the three major families in Yixi, the Bai family is famous for its expertise in the medicinal materials business. Not only does it have a medicine shop with the most complete range of medicinal materials, it also has a medicinal materials factory."

"Oh? The Bai family? Baiyao... is it yours?"

"Have you heard of Baiyao?!" Bai Pinheng was stunned.

"Just a random guess," Wang Ziru felt a hint of surprise in her heart. It turned out that Baiyao really came from the Bai family. Then the Bai family in the future would be the most powerful family in Yixi.

"If you don't like these, you can invest in our Bai family's coal mine!"

Bai Pinheng gritted his teeth, and in an instant, his eyes were as sharp as a knife. "Just a few months ago, the Bai family discovered a coal mine in Baiteng Town. After a while, it will be officially opened for mining. You can consider it. After all, this is a wealth that even the Duan family has not discovered."

Coal mines...black gold?!

Wang Ziru's eyes suddenly lit up if the Bai family allowed her to invest in a coal mine.

Isn't that the same as just sitting at home and making money?

She raised her hand and asked in a somewhat bewildered manner, "Wait, you just said that Baiteng Town is the Duan family's territory. If you found a coal mine, would the Duan family allow you to dig?"

"If the Duan family insists on obstructing us, then we'll have another fight." Bai Pinheng's eyes showed sinisterness.

After a pause, Bai Pinheng said somewhat disappointedly: "I heard that you two have a close relationship with the Duan family, so you must also be jealous of the Duan family, right?"

"Wow, I am an unknown commoner, how can I be jealous of the Duan family? It is the Duan family that is jealous of me."

Wang Ziru automatically ignored the other party's attempt to inquire about her relationship with the Duan family, and said indifferently:

"I am very interested in the coal mine you mentioned. I will follow your suggestion and cure your elder brother's leg so that he can stand up again! The reward the Bai family can give me is one-third of the share of the Bai family coal factory. If you are willing, take me to your house tomorrow."
