Lin Fan walked towards the village committee building, a foolish grin on his face.
As he reached the entrance, he suddenly heard Han Xiangxiang's voice, "What are you grinning about?"
Lin Fan looked up to see Han Xiangxiang emerging, her apricot eyes full of allure, staring at him with ill intent.
Seeing that look, he recalled her demeanor on the car roof and couldn't help but shiver.
"Auntie Han, why are you out here instead of inside?"
Han Xiangxiang covered her mouth and let out a wicked laugh, "Looking for you!"
"Looking for me?" Lin Fan didn't believe her, thinking she was joking.
But Han Xiangxiang was serious. She truly wanted to find him to ask how much the Crimson Blood Ganoderma sold for. If it sold for a lot, she wanted a cut.
She didn't hide her intentions, asking directly, "Little Fan, you sold that Crimson Blood Ganoderma, right? How much did you get for it?"
Hearing her question, Lin Fan knew what she was thinking, so he lied, "It sold for a total of 150,000. 100,000 went to pay off debts, leaving 50,000."
"What a clever little devil!" Han Xiangxiang let out a series of chilling giggles that made Lin Fan's scalp tingle.
Lin Fan composed himself and said, "I know a bit about traditional Chinese medicine, and I want to open a clinic..."
"Really?" Han Xiangxiang was surprised. "You know, in the ten villages around here, ever since the old TCM doctor in Wangjia Village died, there haven't been any clinics."
"Since you can cure people, opening a clinic is perfect."
"I can help you with all the necessary permits and medical equipment."
"Also, you and your sister-in-law can live in the clinic. It's better than your dilapidated thatched house."
"And you can call me Sister Xiangxiang from now on. Of course, if you prefer, you can call me 'girl' too!"
Han Xiangxiang said this without considering Lin Fan's age at all.
All she was thinking about was money and achievements.
Gu Dayong could handle all the medical equipment.
She could also use this opportunity to extort a hefty sum from Gu Dayong.
She wouldn't miss out on such a profitable opportunity.
Lin Fan, without thinking, nodded repeatedly, "Since Sister Xiangxiang trusts me so much, I will definitely open a good clinic!"
"However, I'll need Sister Xiangxiang's help to spread the word in other villages."
Han Xiangxiang smiled and nodded, "No problem. My job this year is to visit other villages, so I'll definitely help you promote it."
"I've already chosen a location for the clinic. It's my old house."
"Come on, I'll show you."
After speaking, Han Xiangxiang didn't wait for Lin Fan's reply and walked ahead.
Lin Fan followed closely.
Although it was called an old house, Han Xiangxiang was very wealthy, and her old house was a hundred times more impressive than ordinary villagers'.
It was a two-story building with front and back courtyards, covering at least 300 square meters!
The exterior was tiled, the interior was luxuriously decorated, and the furniture was about five years old.
"This is a nice place, Sister Xiangxiang. Are you really willing to let me open a clinic in your mansion?"
Lin Fan was a little confused, completely unable to guess Han Xiangxiang's intentions.
Han Xiangxiang didn't answer the question.
She covered her mouth and chuckled, pointing to the second floor. "I'll have someone move out the furniture downstairs. You and your sister-in-law can choose two bedrooms upstairs to sleep in, and the rest can be used as patient rooms."
"Come on, I'll take you up."
She said this, glanced at Lin Fan, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
Seeing that look, Lin Fan inexplicably felt guilty.
"This is not good... Could it be..."
Lin Fan gave a wry smile and reluctantly followed her.
The second floor was even more luxuriously decorated, with an air conditioner on each side of the hall, and all other furniture was complete, ready for immediate occupancy.
Han Xiangxiang sat on the bed, pressed the mattress hard, and squinted with a smile, "This mattress is Simmons. It's soft and elastic, but I don't like it too soft, so I didn't bring it with me when I moved."
"Little Fan, come and try it. See if you like it."
Lin Fan walked over and sat down with some force.
Admittedly, the Simmons mattress was soft and elastic. It was the most comfortable mattress he had ever sat on.
"It's indeed very comfortable. I'll get it for my sister-in-law..."
Lin Fan stopped abruptly as Han Xiangxiang pressed his thigh. "Little Fan, don't young men like soft things? Why are you getting it for your sister-in-law?"
Han Xiangxiang said, and then pushed Lin Fan down onto the bed.
As Lin Fan lay flat, Han Xiangxiang burst into laughter and pounced on him!
"Oh my god!" Lin Fan was devastated. Who would have thought Han Xiangxiang was so aggressive?
"Sister Xiangxiang, this is not allowed!"
Lin Fan hastily rolled off the bed, avoiding Han Xiangxiang's pounce.
Han Xiangxiang, annoyed, punched the mattress, regretting that the bed was so large.
"Little Fan, are you still a virgin?"
"Isn't it good for me to give you some lessons?"
"I missed you so much last night!"
"If you accept me, you can save ten years of hard work!"
Han Xiangxiang's tone was sweet and coquettish, deliberately pretending to be younger.
Lin Fan, however, had no romantic feelings for her. He was determined not to get involved with a woman of questionable character.
"Sister Xiangxiang, to be honest, your looks and figure are quite good, but I'm like most men, I prefer someone younger, between twenty and thirty."
"So, please don't do this. If you continue, I'll report this to the village chief."
Han Xiangxiang's eyebrows shot up, and she snorted, "You brat, you've got a crush on your sister-in-law, haven't you?"
"Sister kindly warns you, give up on that idea!"
"No matter the era, there are ethics and morals!"
"Even if you're young and ignorant and dare to touch that, does your sister-in-law dare?"
"There are also many good girls around here. If you please me, whoever you like, I'll introduce them to you!"
Lin Fan, who was about to leave, froze in place upon hearing Han Xiangxiang's words.
After a while, Lin Fan regained his senses and asked, "Sister Xiangxiang, what do you mean? What's wrong with me and my sister-in-law being together?"
"Didn't you always want me and my sister-in-law to be together? Why the sudden change of heart?"
Han Xiangxiang let out a coquettish sigh, her alluring apricot eyes scanning Lin Fan again as if she could devour him with her gaze.
"Want to know?"
Han Xiangxiang chuckled, deliberately piquing Lin Fan's curiosity.
Lin Fan nodded, remaining silent.
Han Xiangxiang lifted her skirt, revealing a pair of long, fair legs, and said to herself, "I didn't expect you to have such strong self-control at such a young age. But I like you this way. It's more challenging, and the reward is sweeter!"
She got up from the bed, walked over to Lin Fan, and smiled again, "Little Fan, go downstairs and water those lucky bamboos. I'll tell you when you get back."
Although he knew she was up to something, Lin Fan followed her instructions.
After all, what she had said earlier had made him both curious and worried.
