Upon hearing Wang Tiehua's urgent inquiry, Qian Fei, with a complex expression, drew her gaze back from the window.

The next moment, Qian Fei didn't speak, but instead threw a cup of water from the table onto the floor...

"You... what are you doing?!"

With his pants splashed, Wang Tiehua's mouth twitched as he shouted in question.

Hearing Wang Tiehua's loud query, Qian Fei retorted hoarsely, "Can spilled water be taken back?"

Sensing Qian Fei's resignation, Wang Tiehua panicked, knowing that Hu Xiaobei was now an absolute goldmine! He had to cling to him at all costs.

Thinking this, Wang Tiehua quickly said, "Daughter, you... you can't talk like this! The issue between you and Hu Xiaobei was just a small misunderstanding! You two can definitely make up! Honestly, the moment I saw him, I knew he was the true dragon's son! So you have to hold on to this good man! Otherwise, you will definitely regret it!"

"A true dragon's son? Hah! Didn't you say before that he couldn't achieve anything? That he'd spend his life grubbing in the dirt?"

"This..."

Wang Tiehua didn't know what to say, aware that she had indeed gone too far before, even taking away the few sheep the family had during their toughest times! But Wang Tiehua felt she couldn't blame herself; at that time, she didn't expect him to rise like he had, otherwise, she would have clung to him long ago!

With that in mind, Wang Tiehua quickly said, "Daughter, I know there were some misunderstandings before, but it's all in the past now, and I still want him as my son-in-law!"

"Son-in-law? Whether he wants to be your son-in-law is his choice, isn't it? Enough talk! Things between Hu Xiaobei and I are no longer possible. Please leave!"

"But..."

"I told you to leave!"

"Well... then you take care."

Sighing silently, Wang Tiehua walked out of the room.

After Wang Tiehua left, Qian Fei looked out the window with mixed feelings.

She knew that her biggest mistake in life was underestimating Hu Xiaobei back then...

...

Outside, Qian Fei's brother was anxiously waiting. Seeing Wang Tiehua coming out, he quickly approached and asked, "Mom, how did it go? Did sister agree to continue dating Hu Xiaobei?"

With frustration building up, Wang Tiehua glanced at him and said coldly, "She did not agree."

Stunned!

Hearing Wang Tiehua's words, he was completely stunned and after a while, he said awkwardly, "How can that be? She... she really didn't agree?"

After another silent sigh, Wang Tiehua said, "But it wouldn't matter if she agreed now; Hu Xiaobei would never consent, given how badly we've offended him before!"

Hearing this, Qian Fei's brother fell silent.

Seeing his silence, Wang Tiehua continued, "We really did go too far before! Alright, I'm going back to rest."

After saying this, Wang Tiehua silently returned to her own room.

Seeing Wang Tiehua leave, Qian Fei's brother wanted to go and persuade Qian Fei further but eventually gave up.

He knew that nothing he did now would help, as they had truly offended Hu Xiaobei too much before...

At this thought, he felt regret.

Because he knew that Hu Xiaobei was truly wealthy now, and if his sister still had a relationship with him, he could have gained a lot of benefits, but now, all he could do was watch, feeling helpless as he punched the wall in frustration...

...

The next morning, after Hu Xiaobei got up and took a walk around, he laughed happily upon realizing that the village's liveliness was even better than the day before, knowing that this might become the new normal.

Smiling, Hu Xiaobei started thinking about his next plans.

He knew that developing the tourism industry would be the most important long-term goal, so he that he must secure a lease for the two barren hills behind the village...

While Hu Xiaobei was lost in thought, Song Feng and an elderly man of similar age rushed toward Xiaohe Village in a car.

In the car, the elderly man, his voice hoarse, said, "Old Man Song, I understand my own body, and it's beyond cure, so there's really no need for you to bring me here to see any Divine Doctor!"

Hearing such somber words, Song Feng frowned, "You're being too pessimistic before even seeing the doctor!"

"It's not pessimism! It's reality. I've been to all the major hospitals, but it was pointless! I've given up a long time ago!"

Initially, while he was resting at home, Song Feng suddenly came, claiming someone could cure him. He thought Song Feng was joking. Eventually, unable to dissuade Song Feng, he accompanied him, but even now, he felt it was just a waste of time as his condition was seemingly incurable...

"Yes! I know you've given up, but you can't give up! When we went to the countryside to support each other, all the others have passed away, leaving just us two. I don't want you to die first!"

Hearing such fervent words, he sighed, "Alright! I'll give it another look, to keep you, the tough old man, company a few more years."

"That's more like it!"

As they talked, Song Feng noticed the car slowing down...

...

"Such a lively place!"

Instinctively looking out the window, the elderly man sitting next to Song Feng was surprised to see tourists everywhere.

"Yes!"

As they talked, Song Feng was surprised too, but thinking of Hu Xiaobei, who could always create miracles, he felt calmer.

After instructing the driver to park the car, he and the pale-faced elderly man got out together.

"This air is so fresh!"

After steadying himself, the elderly man couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Hearing this, Song Feng nodded.

He also noticed that the air in Xiaohe Village had improved since the last time.

Knowing this was all Hu Xiaobei's doing, he softly said, "The changes in Xiaohe Village are all thanks to Hu Xiaobei."

Hearing Song Feng mention Hu Xiaobei, he retorted, "Hu Xiaobei? Is he the one treating me?"

"Yes!"

"I really want to meet him!"

Seeing his interest, Song Feng laughed and said, "Then let's go!"

"Alright!"

As they spoke, the two walked forward...

As they approached Hu Xiaobei's residence, Wang Dagui and Zhao Long were anxiously pacing in front of a small building...
