Small Farmer Medical God novel Chapter 2003

Chapter 2003: Chapter 1998: The New Commercial Street

"You think just denying it will solve the problem? You really are way too naive!"

With a faint sneer, the man whose face was covered in cold smiles pulled out a sharp dagger.

Seeing that impossibly sharp dagger, Cui Dazhi’s eyelids twitched hard.

Putting on a fierce front while feeling weak inside, he shot them a look and deliberately raised his voice. "What do you think you’re doing? Believe it or not, I’ll call the police right now!"

They just shrugged indifferently and spoke in a calm tone.

"Suit yourself, but they’ll need some time to get here. You think you can hold out until they show up?"

After a brief silence, Cui Dazhi gritted his teeth and let out a powerless roar, "What exactly do you want? We don’t have any grudge between us, there’s no need for you to target me, right?"

"We’re not interested in targeting you. We just need you to tell us whether you’re Cui Dazhi or not."

"I am!"

Realizing there was no way to hide it anymore, Cui Dazhi gave up on pretending and answered directly.

Getting a definite answer, they let out a cold laugh. "See, you should’ve just admitted it earlier. You still remember what you did abroad, don’t you?"

"I did owe a bit of money, but it’s not like you had to chase me all the way here to grab me, right?"

Cui Dazhi glanced at them and sighed, somewhat speechless.

Back then, when he told Xiaobei those guys would come here to collect the debt, he was just trying to scare Xiaobei.

In his mind, there was no way those people would actually come all the way here for that little bit of money.

Yet somehow, they really did show up.

And they came pretty fast, too.

They shot Cui Dazhi a look, faces full of mockery.

"’A bit of money’? We’re talking several million here! You think a few million is pocket change? Since that’s how you see it, then hand over the money now so we can go back and report in."

"I..."

Hearing that mockery, Cui Dazhi opened his mouth.

But his words dried up; nothing came out.

Because forget a few million—he couldn’t even pull a few hundred out of his pocket right now.

...

"Damn it, if I’d known, I never would’ve gone crazy borrowing money back then!"

Right now, Cui Dazhi regretted it to death...

But he knew it was too late for regret...

Back then he figured he could just up and run anytime, that’s why he dared to borrow several million.

Now that the debt collectors had come knocking, he was completely panicking.

"Looks like you don’t have a few million to pay us back. In that case, you’re coming back with us and giving a proper explanation."

Seeing Cui Dazhi fall silent, they gave a cold snort and grabbed hold of him.

Before they came, they hadn’t expected Cui Dazhi to be able to pay anyway.

The main purpose of this trip was to drag him back.

Snapped out of it as they grabbed him, Cui Dazhi said, "Don’t take me back, don’t take me back, I’m begging you."

He cast them a fearful look as he spoke...

He knew that once he went back with them this time, he’d never get another chance to return.

"Don’t want to come back with us? Then how are we supposed to answer to our boss?"

They sneered and tightened their grip on Cui Dazhi...

Pinned down, Cui Dazhi glanced at them, his eyes suddenly lighting up as he blurted, "I can pay you back. I can pay you back."

"You’re not messing with us?"

"No, of course not!"

"Then take out the money."

Awkwardly shaking his head, Cui Dazhi hurriedly explained, "I don’t have it on me right now, but I have a very powerful friend in Xiaohe Village. You come with me to Xiaohe Village, he’ll definitely give you the money."

"Really?"

"Yeah, absolutely real!"

"Exactly!"

Many tourists, seeing the lively scene, asked curiously.

The place had been built a long time ago, but no businesses had ever moved in, which annoyed a lot of visitors.

Plenty of people stopped coming because of that...

Because it really wasn’t convenient to buy things.

Hearing the tourists’ curious questions, the merchants quickly replied.

"That’s right, we’re starting renovations now. Give it three to five days at most, and this place will be completely different."

"That’s really great!"

Hearing the tourists speak so excitedly, they were excited too.

Because once it was done, there’d be more places to stroll around.

...

Seeing such a bustling scene, Xiaobei was also much happier...

Once his mood lifted, Xiaobei glanced around, then let out a slightly wistful sigh...

Before, when he came back to Xiaohe Village, all he saw were familiar faces.

But now, there were many people he didn’t really know.

Because the villagers of Xiaohe Village all had money now, a lot of them frequently traveled all over the world.

And many others chose to settle in different cities.

"As Xiaohe Village gets bigger in the future, this kind of thing will only get more obvious. But as long as the villagers live well, that’s enough. Everyone has their own way of living, after all."

Muttering to himself, Xiaobei put his sunglasses back on.

He knew he could go back to the villa on the mountaintop again now.

No matter how Xiaohe Village changed, that place would never change, because that was Xiaobei’s forever home.

There were people there waiting for him, always, no matter when...
