When Li Chun proposed this idea, Pang Mingyuan also shook his head with a bitter smile, "Xinyu has always said that his traditional Chinese medicine skills are terrible and that treating people would be harmful, but when he was in school, he was always at the top of his class. When he first entered the school, his scores even reached the key university admission line. He only applied to one university, and that was Pengcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine University."

"Ah," in response to Pang Mingyuan's revelation, Li Chun and the others exchanged glances. Exceeding the key university admission line but only applying to a third-rate university, and being able to surpass the disciples of a traditional Chinese medicine family, this Zhao Xinyu truly exceeded their expectations.

"Pang Mingyuan, if you say his grades in all subjects were excellent, he should have obtained a medical practice license in college. Why does he need to take the traditional Chinese medicine qualification exam now?"

Pang Mingyuan sighed slightly and found a few photos on his phone, "He had an accident just before graduation. It was a series of murders, and he was the only survivor of that incident."

"Are you talking about the Pengcheng serial murder case involving food delivery riders?" the girl with the doll-like face asked with a hint of surprise.

Seeing Pang Mingyuan nod, a look of sympathy appeared in their eyes, and they all looked at the photos on Pang Mingyuan's phone. The photos were taken before and after Zhao Xinyu's discharge from the hospital.

Seeing the diagnosis results and Zhao Xinyu's unbearable appearance, Li Chun and the others were even more shocked, "Miracle doctor, this Zhao Xinyu is really a miracle doctor. Even experts couldn't cure his crippled leg and scarred face, but he managed to recover. Pang Mingyuan, quickly contact him, I want to be his disciple."

"He changed his phone number, and I've been trying to find him for over a year."

Pang Mingyuan suddenly looked at the girl with the doll-like face, "Xiaoli, where do you think Xinyu is now?"

"In a place called Xihan Ridge in Pengcheng. The houses and vegetable fields I showed you earlier are all his."

Pang Mingyuan nodded, "I know where he is, I'll go find him."

"Pang Mingyuan, it's almost May Day. Let's go together. I heard the vegetables and fish he grows are extremely delicious," the girl with the doll-like face said in a sweet voice.

"Sure, whoever goes, be prepared."

......

"Xinyu, Zhao Shiming and a few others have come out. They are spreading in the village that the matter is not over," one day, Han Tianliang told Zhao Xinyu with a heavy heart.

Zhao Xinyu was slightly stunned. The name Zhao Shiming once made him very helpless, but now he doesn't even care about such people.

Seeing Zhao Xinyu dazed, Han Tianliang thought Zhao Xinyu was still afraid of Zhao Shiming. He sighed, "I'll have Han Li and others come over more often. Don't worry about him. He's just a scoundrel, causing trouble to make a few bucks. Or..."

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "Grandpa Han, ignore him. People like him will become more arrogant if you give in."

After saying this, Zhao Xinyu looked at Han Tianliang, "Grandpa Han, how is the Xihan Vegetable Garden in the city?"

"It's very busy. Lu Ming and others are overwhelmed. The villagers say they can't keep up," Han Tianliang immediately perked up when talking about the Xihan Vegetable Garden.

The Xihan Vegetable Garden mainly sells vegetables from the courtyard. On the first day of opening, it was already crowded, and within a few days, it became famous throughout Pengcheng. Not only people from Pengcheng, but also people from surrounding areas came to buy vegetables from the Xihan Vegetable Garden.

The people who go to the Vegetable Garden every day only say one word: tired.

Zhao Xinyu's eyes flickered, "Screen them again. Choose some people from the list we set, and give the Vegetable Garden and the farm a rotation schedule."

"We have that idea too, but shouldn't the wages be adjusted? After all, if they have a rotation, they will only work half a month a month."

"No need. The wages are set by me. If they need to be adjusted, it can only be increased. If they are decreased, how will they feel?"

"Another thing, I've noticed that the people picking vegetables in the courtyard seem insufficient."

Han Tianliang smiled bitterly, "Xinyu, everyone who stays in the village works for you. Only you don't discriminate against them. Even the elderly are willing to be hired. The remaining families won't come to help. I've been contacting those who work outside, and some say they will return for May Day."

Zhao Xinyu also shook his head. He originally wanted to open a small brewery in the courtyard, but the lack of manpower was a problem.

"Grandpa Han, find ten honest and hardworking people from other villages. The equipment I ordered will arrive in a few days, and the brewery will start soon."

"I almost forgot. Zheng Min has two brothers. I've met them, and they are as honest and hardworking as Zheng Min. They are also good swimmers and now work on large fishing boats. Zheng Min once asked me if her brothers could come over."

"Sure, as long as they are good people. Have them come over. Also, ask if their families want to come. Sister Min's courtyard is large, and there is room to live. We are also short of manpower here."

Han Tianliang sighed, a bitter expression on his face. He looked at Zhao Xinyu, "Xinyu, the treatment here is good, and many people want to come back. But if they come back, their children's schooling is a problem. Our village is poor and can't retain good teachers. Now, the children in the village are from families with financial problems. They have some money and want to send their children to school, but accommodation is also a problem."

Zhao Xinyu's eyes flickered, "Grandpa Han, let's build a school and hire teachers."

"Building a school and hiring teachers will cost a lot. Besides, this is a village matter and has nothing to do with you. You've already helped the village a lot."

"Our villagers are honest. I trust them to do the work. We must solve their worries so they can work for us with peace of mind. I'll contact people, and you can take them to plan and measure the site."

When the news that Zhao Xinyu would help build a school and hire teachers spread, the village was once again in an uproar. This time, not only the village but also the district sent people to Xihan Ridge.

The school area is not small, but due to the lack of teachers, there are only about ten students. Because the school is being rebuilt, it has temporarily moved to the village committee.

One day, Zhao Xinyu was walking around the courtyard with Heifeng when his phone rang, "Han Li, are you hungry again? What do you want to eat?"

"Go to the school. Jia Zhansi was beaten."

Zhao Xinyu's eyes narrowed. Jia Zhansi is the village party secretary, and he has as much prestige in the village as Han Tianliang. If he was beaten, it must be Zhao Shiming again. Zhao Xinyu's first thought was Zhao Shiming.

Leaving Heifeng to guard the house, Zhao Xinyu hurried to the school. From a distance, he saw a large crowd gathered around the school being rebuilt, and the noise could be heard from afar.

In the crowd, Jia Zhansi, in his sixties, was lying on the ground, his head and mouth covered in blood, groaning in pain. Han Li and Lu Ming were surrounding a middle-aged man.

When the villagers saw Zhao Xinyu, they automatically made way for him. Seeing Jia Zhansi's condition, Zhao Xinyu's face darkened. Without asking what happened, he squatted down and began to treat Jia Zhansi.

While treating him, Zhao Xinyu learned the details. The construction team that rebuilt the school was the same one that renovated his courtyard, and Jia Zhansi was responsible for supervising the work.

This morning, the district sent a few trucks of bricks, saying it was the district's decision and that the school reconstruction was entirely the responsibility of the construction company. Jia Zhansi naturally tried to stop them, but was beaten by the middle-aged man.

"Xinyu, look at the bricks they brought. They crumble at a touch, and they want to charge 1.2 yuan per brick," Han Li showed Zhao Xinyu a brick and, as he spoke, crushed it with his hand, turning it into a pile of rubble.

"Damn it, it's not 1.2 yuan anymore. It's 1.5 yuan per brick, and all the bricks for the school must be from me," the middle-aged man, seeing that Zhao Xinyu was in charge, shouted.

As he spoke, more than ten young men with sticks jumped off the trucks, looking like troublemakers.

The villagers, though angry, had to retreat a few meters. Zhao Xinyu was left with only Han Tianliang, Han Li, and a few others.

"Are you Zhao Xinyu? 1.5 yuan, no negotiation. These bricks will be left here whether you like it or not. The school reconstruction is our decision. You should know who my brother-in-law is."

Han Tianliang frowned and whispered to Zhao Xinyu, "He is Li Ju's brother-in-law, Shi Kan. A few days ago, Li Ju called, saying he was in charge of the school construction and that the school couldn't be used without his signature."

Zhao Xinyu then learned from Han Tianliang that Shi Kan, like Zhao Shiming, was a scoundrel. Relying on his brother-in-law, he roamed around, causing trouble and fraud. Whenever a school needed construction, he would interfere, bringing in substandard bricks and demanding high prices. Because of his brother-in-law, he had made a lot of money in recent years.

This only made him more arrogant, and he had a group of small scoundrels around him. Anyone who complained would be scolded or beaten.

Many people have reported him to the police, but because of his brother-in-law, he could always get out, making him even more brazen....
