Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 670: Chapter 670: Return to Hometown in Glory

Lin Dong and his group, after leaving this place, headed towards Fulong Village.

Soon, they arrived at Fulong Village.

Lin Dong went from house to house, paying New Year’s visits.

Naturally, Lin Dong’s return also drew the entire village’s attention.

No one had expected that Lin Dong, who used to rely on the Hundred Families Feast, would come back dressed in fine clothes after disappearing post-high school graduation.

Not only did he bring back three women who were more beautiful and poised than TV stars, but he also brought a big bag of gifts.

And he went from house to house handing out red envelopes!

”Lin Dong, the kid’s made it big, huh?”

”Look at the three women with him, they’re even prettier than the TV stars!”

”Eh, seems like I’ve seen one of them on TV before. She looks like a star!”

”Look at the gifts Lin Dong is giving, big and small bags aplenty. And he’s leaving a big red envelope at every house.”

”Wonder how much money is in those red envelopes!”

”...”

The villagers’ discussions buzzed with envy.

But Lin Dong wasn’t presenting gifts and paying visits to just anyone.

The villagers quickly realized that Lin Dong was giving gifts only to those who had helped him in the past.

Soon, word about how much money was in Lin Dong’s red envelopes spread.

In an instant, all the villagers in Fulong Village were shocked.

”My God, the red envelope Lin Dong is giving has a card with five hundred thousand loaded on it.”

”It’s the same for every household!”

”He’s given them to more than fifty families.”

”What? Five hundred thousand in a red envelope per family? More than fifty families, wouldn’t that be over twenty million!”

”How much money has Lin Dong made out there? He really has struck it rich!”

”Damn, I regret not helping Lin Dong back then. If I had just given him a meal, I could’ve gotten a five hundred thousand red envelope now.”

”Not just five hundred thousand, Lin Dong is also giving gifts to each family. Those gift bags are worth tens of thousands.”

”I’m so envious of those who helped Lin Dong before; they’re getting rich now.”

”Five hundred thousand is enough to buy a suite in our county town!”

”...”

The whole village was in an uproar.

Those villagers who received Lin Dong’s New Year’s visits and gifts were all delighted beyond measure.

Of course, there were also some honest and simple villagers who had never seen so much money in their lives. Upon learning how much Lin Dong’s red envelopes contained, they immediately became anxious and tried to refuse.

”Lin Dong, this isn’t right. Back then, I just gave you a few meals. There’s no need for you to repay me with so much money,” they said.

Faced with these refusals, Lin Dong replied, ”A drop of water should be returned with a gushing spring!”

He remembered this principle well.

Plus, he now had the strength to do so; his wealth had even surpassed the publicly known richest person.

Giving fifty thousand to each family who had treated him kindly in the past was no big deal for him.

Soon, Lin Dong came to the last house.

This household held a special significance for Lin Dong.

The family’s surname was Zeng.

They had a member named Zeng Daniu.

Since Lin Dong was from elsewhere and only had his mother without a father, and his mother was sick at the time, Lin Dong inevitably got bullied.

The village had a group of ruffians, led by Shou Hou, who often bullied Lin Dong, isolated him, called him a bastard, and extorted him.

And whenever this happened, this person named Zeng Daniu would come out and protect Lin Dong.

His protection was one that involved no retaliation.

Zeng Daniu was tall and sturdy. At his teens, he was nearly two meters tall, standing firm like a mountain. Whenever the ruffians came to bully Lin Dong, he would shield Lin Dong behind him.

When those people threw stones at Lin Dong, he would use his body to block them for Lin Dong.

His body was as solid as iron, unharmed by the stones thrown at him!!

He spoke little and was always smiling.

Everyone called him the Foolish Ox, calling him a fool. He, like Lin Dong, was isolated by the village peers of their age.

And these two isolated individuals became the best of friends.

Lin Dong hadn’t seen Daniu for a long time, and this time he was going to visit his house to check on him.

Speaking of which, Daniu had a tragic background as well.

Not long after he was born, his mother passed away. Later, his father married another woman who soon bore him a younger brother.

Ever since that brother was born, Daniu was not treated well at home.

Being poor, they only allowed him to study until second grade in primary school before making him return home to farm.

If it weren’t for the fact that Daniu was tall and strong, able to do lots of farm work, and could bring income to his family, he would’ve been kicked out by his step-mother long ago.

Even though he was a hard worker who could contribute to the family, his step-mother always had curses for him, calling him a freeloader who needed to eat three large bowls of rice every day!!

But in reality, Daniu only ate those three bowls of rice. He never ate meat; the meat was always reserved for his brother. As for money, he was never involved with it.

After working all day long, clearly three bowls of rice were not enough for his body, but that was his daily allowance.

His step-mother set strict rules for his work and meals.

He had to start working in the fields at five-thirty in the morning, having one bowl of rice per meal, continuing until it was too dark to see before he was allowed to come home.

His life was harder than an ox’s, his work more than that of an ox, but his meal was only those three large bowls of rice per day.

Lin Dong’s return to the village this time was not just to celebrate the Lunar New Year; he also had a significant reason: he wanted to take Daniu out with him.

However, upon arriving at the Zeng family home, he found Daniu was no longer there.

Daniu seemed to have... had an accident.
