He thought to himself, he hadn't done anything wrong. Protecting the land in Black Tiger Mountain Village and ensuring that the villagers had land to cultivate was his duty and responsibility.

But how can I face Zhang Dong? How can I feel sorry for him? It's really strange.

Anyway, Zhang Dong would come to Li Qingshan's house whenever he had nothing else to do.

They never come empty-handed; they always bring snacks or something for the kids.

Whenever there was work to be done at their house, Zhang Dong would readily lend a hand, never treating himself as an outsider while working.

As Zhang Dong came more and more often, Li Qingshan's sense of guilt grew deeper and deeper.

After going to bed last night, he said to his wife, Zhu Cuilian, "Oh, my wife, Zhang Dong comes over almost every few days now. Apart from the first time he mentioned his idea of ​​developing a mine, he hasn't mentioned it again since."

"But they keep coming over every now and then, how am I supposed to handle this?"

Zhu Cuilian had no good solution either: "I say, husband, you should make the final decision on this matter. After all, I'm just a woman, and I don't have any good ideas."

"But no matter what, I feel that Zhang Dong is a really good person."

"Mhm." Li Qingshan nodded: "You don't need to tell me that. If this kid were a bad person, I wouldn't have to make things so difficult for him. I could just kick him out, and that would be fine."

"My guilt stems from this young man; he left me speechless..."

"Hello, is Brother Qingshan home?"

Zhang Dong rode his motorcycle to the home of the old village chief, Li Qingshan, once again.

"Oh, Brother Zhang Dong, what brings you here with gifts again?"

Li Qingshan felt embarrassed, his face turning red.

"Brother Qingshan, what do you mean?" Zhang Dong chuckled awkwardly.

"I...brother, to be honest, I don't want you to go through all this trouble, coming to my house again and again..."

"Oh, Brother Qingshan, I just consider you a friend, don't take it to heart."

Zhang Dong put down the gift and asked, "What work do we have to do today?"

Seeing Zhang Dong take the initiative to ask for work, Li Qingshan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

"Brother, there's really nothing to do today. How about we just stay home, have a drink, and chat?"

Zhang Dong came here to deepen his relationship with Li Qingshan.

The reason he kept coming was that he saw Li Qingshan was also an honest man with a simple affection for Black Tiger Village.

They were afraid that the development of the mineral resources would harm the interests of the villagers.

The reason Zhang Dong came here so often was that he wanted to see his sincerity and perseverance.

Time reveals a person's true character.

You might not be able to tell what kind of person you are in a day, but you will over time.

The two men were drinking when suddenly Li Qingshan's son started crying and making a scene outside.

Zhang Dong had met Li Qingshan's son before. The little guy was named Huzi. He was a chubby-faced and lovable boy.

"Brother, quickly look at the child, what's wrong?" Zhang Dong said, getting up quickly.

Li Qingshan didn't dare to delay either, and he and Zhang Dong hurriedly came to the courtyard.

Tiger was lying on the ground, clutching his stomach and writhing in pain.

"Tiger, what's wrong?" Li Qingshan was startled.

Zhu Cuilian, Li Qingshan's wife, who ran over from the backyard, also panicked.

"Son, say something! Where does it hurt?"

"Waaah, my stomach hurts, it hurts so much."

Upon hearing that his son had a stomachache, Li Qingshan angrily cursed.

"Needless to say, you drank cold water after you were thirsty again. I've told you so many times that drinking cold water is unhygienic, but you just wouldn't listen. Now you know how serious this is, right?"

Seeing this, Zhu Cuilian became anxious: "What's the use of saying this now? Go and call the village's barefoot doctor right away."

After being scolded by his wife, Li Qingshan hurriedly went to find the village's barefoot doctor.

Zhang Dong took him on his motorcycle to a house in the east of the village, where they found the barefoot doctor and explained the situation.

Zhang Dong then rode his motorcycle with the barefoot doctor and hurriedly left.

This would save time, allowing them to go to Li Qingshan's house and check on Hu Zi's condition.

By this time, Hu Zi had already been carried back to his bed at home by Zhu Cuilian.

After examining the child, the barefoot doctor gave him a painkiller and an anti-inflammatory injection.

After finishing the fight, Li Qingshan returned home, panting heavily.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his son had received the injection.

But soon, Tiger was in pain again, rolling around on the bed.

Li Qingshan was startled: "Didn't he just get a painkiller injection? Why is my son crying in pain again?"

The barefoot doctor was also startled: "I just gave him an anti-inflammatory injection. If the stomach pain was caused by unsanitary food, the pain should have stopped after the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving injections."

"Dr. Wang, please think of something quickly."

Li Qingshan had a son late in life, and at over 50 years old, he cherished his precious son more than his own life.

"Judging from the current situation, my son's pain hasn't stopped at all. What's going on?"

The barefoot doctor was also anxious, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Village chief, I don't know the specifics either. You know my abilities; I can only diagnose minor ailments like headaches and fevers. As for more complicated illnesses..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dongyi tugged at Li Qingshan's shoulder.

"Brother, hold the child, I'll take you on my motorcycle, we'll go to the county hospital right away to get treatment for the child. Look at the child's face, it's already turned purple, we can't delay any longer..."

Zhang Dong's reminder brought Li Qingshan back to his senses from his previous anxiety.

"Yes, brother, we owe you a reminder this time."

"Hey, stop talking nonsense, quickly put more clothes on the child, hug him from behind, there's no time to lose..."

"Hey, old woman, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and prepare the money, how are we going to see a doctor without money?"

But at this moment, Zhu Cuilian also became a little anxious.

“We just deposited our money in the credit union; we don’t have any money at home.”

Seeing the couple arguing over money, Zhang Dong quickly helped Li Qingshan onto the motorcycle.

Zhang Dong said anxiously, "Brother, stop arguing, I have money..."

Saving people is like putting out fire.

After starting his motorcycle, Zhang Dong sped all the way to the county hospital, where he immediately took his child to the emergency room.

Li Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his son being wheeled into the operating room.

Soon, a nurse in white rushed over to find Li Qingshan: "After diagnosis, your son has acute appendicitis. Fortunately, you arrived in time; any later and his life would have been in danger..."

"What? Your life is in danger?" Li Qingshan shuddered.
