Chapter 431: The Purple-Haired Little Girl



"What?"

"Poor, too poor! But they are not barbaric. They are actually very genuine and kind, and they have pride. I wanted to donate money to them, but they wouldn't accept it no matter what."

"The village chief told me that if I really cared, I should teach the children in the village. The chief does have some insight, knowing that, no matter what, people need education."

"Naturally, I agreed to this request, so I built a larger felt tent with the villagers to serve as a school."

Lin Ruoxue pointed to one of the felt tents and said:

"At that time, I stayed here for six months and taught them until I had to go back and take over the Belle Corporation. For this, I even specifically learned the local language. You were quite surprised by the words you heard me speaking today, weren't you?"

Lin Ruoxue smiled proudly.

"My wife is certainly the best."

"After taking over the corporation, I got busy. Normally I have no time, and I can only manage to carve out two weeks each year to visit and teach them a bit."

Speaking of this, Lin Ruoxue started to feel guilty:

"Normally, it's only the somewhat educated village chief who teaches them Chinese characters and simple math."

"Wife, you've done your best. I believe they can understand that. But why didn't you bring those kids to study in Jianghai?"

Su Chen comforted her by stroking her hair, noting that, with Lin Ruoxue's capabilities, this was just a minor issue.

"I mentioned it, but you don't understand the situation here. The children are too young for their families to feel safe letting them go, and if they're older, they are already considered labor resources for their families."

Lin Ruoxue explained:

"These kids are not like those in the cities. They spend at least half their time herding or helping out at home."

"Perhaps they don't want to trouble you too much."

"Possibly so, but it'll get better in a couple of years. Our country's transport infrastructure will soon reach here, and then I can donate to build a school and hire some teachers to come here."

Lin Ruoxue suddenly said excitedly:

"You don't know, because the roads here are so rough, no teacher is willing to come here to teach."

"That's good. As long as the transportation improves, I believe their lives will get better and better."

"Yes!"

"By the way, wife, what did you ask Mrs. Wang to prepare earlier?"

"Nothing much, just some daily necessities. Since they are reluctant to accept money, I can only prepare some household supplies to send them every year. I've already arranged for shipping the day before yesterday, and it should arrive in a couple of days."

The couple sat and talked for a long time, until Lin Ruoxue fell asleep in Su Chen's arms, and then he carried her into the house.

The next morning, after having a simple breakfast at the village chief's house, Lin Ruoxue went to the felt tent that serves as a school for the village children.

The little guys in the village had already neatly sat on small stools, waiting for Lin Ruoxue.

During the times Lin Ruoxue visited over the past few years, the villagers had tactfully not assigned any chores to the children, allowing them to focus entirely on their studies.

The children were so eager to learn that Lin Ruoxue naturally did not slack off. She lectured from morning till night, with breaks scattered throughout.

Meanwhile, Su Chen wandered around. Such beautiful scenery was nowhere to be found in the concrete jungle of the big cities. He even spent a few hours cultivating on a mountaintop, bringing himself to full readiness.

When the lanterns were hung, Su Chen was surprised to find on his return that his reputation as the Ghost Doctor had spread through the village, all thanks to Tai Wei's grandfather.

One by one, the villagers wanted him to treat their ailments, as life in such a harsh place meant everyone had some chronic health issues.

Su Chen quickly promised that he would treat each person the next day, and only then did the crowd let him go.

Afterward, Su Chen went to Tai Wei's house to treat the old lady for another hour before returning to the village head's home to rest.

Some time later, Lin Ruoxue also returned from the makeshift school, and the village head invited them both for a supper before they went off to rest separately.

For the next two days, Lin Ruoxue continued to leave early and return late from teaching the rambunctious children.

Su Chen, on the other hand, set up a long table on a spacious meadow and began holding free clinics!

Almost every villager treated by him felt some improvement in their health, so it wasn't long before even those without any ailments came for a consultation as well.

You couldn't say they were being meddlesome. Su Chen actually discovered several individuals with hidden illnesses that could have led to severe problems if not detected early.

After another two days, even more people came for consultations, not because of how many villagers there were, but because people from neighboring and even more distant villages had heard about the Ghost Doctor in Baixing Village who offered free treatment, and they too came to seek his advice.

Some even traveled from villages tens of kilometers away. Su Chen, welcoming everyone, examined each person carefully. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

Lin Ruoxue, busy preparing lessons and teaching the kids, didn't pay much attention to this matter, but she felt happy that Su Chen could help these struggling people.

However, what both of them didn't know was that Su Chen's reputation as the Ghost Doctor had caught the attention of someone with intentions.

......

In another part of Tianshan, at the foot of a mountain, there was a thatched cottage with a small vegetable garden in front.

At the moment, an old woman with grizzled hair was holding a broken ladle, stooping over to water the vegetables.

"Grandma, I'm back," said a voice.

At that moment, a ten-year-old girl pushed open the gate and entered.

The girl seemed very special, as her soft, long hair was purple.

"Grandma, let me help," the girl said sweetly as she approached the old woman.

"No need, grandma will be done soon. Go rest inside for a while; dinner will be ready soon."

"I'm not tired; I want to stay with grandma."

"Xun is such a good girl!" the old woman said with a smile, tossing her ladle casually back into the nearby bucket:

"Let's go eat now, we can finish watering after dinner."

Following that, the little girl held the old woman's hand as they went inside the thatched cottage, where the grandmother quickly reheated a few dishes and served them.

The meal was simple, consisting only of lightly flavored vegetables they had grown themselves, but both enjoyed their dinner thoroughly.

"Xun, tomorrow you should go alone to Baixing Gully village. There is someone there who might be able to cure your illness," the old woman suddenly put down her chopsticks and spoke.
