Chapter 1066: Discussion

Apart from Shanhus grandma, the Village Chief and the aunts she met at Shanhus home were here too.

Gu Chaoyan was slightly surprised, but she soon took her seat.

The Village Chief looked a little embarra.s.sed. Normally, he should have come with some influential male figures for the important things for Li Village, but after the disaster that happened to the village, most of the men at the village were more or less injured. So there were few who were able to be here. That was why he only brought with him some elderly aunts to be the witnesses.

Despite the arrangement, the Village Chief still felt slightly uncomfortable. He did not think that this arrangement was solemn or serious enough.

Well, the Village Chief had also forgotten that Gu Chaoyan was just a lady too.

After Gu Chaoyan took a seat, Shen Tai served her a cup of tea, which he knew that Elder Miss liked.

Gu Chaoyan sipped the tea and glanced at them, then she looked at the Village Chief, asking, What are you doing here at the clinic?

The Village Chief nodded.

He was here for something.

Although the staff from the clinic had not talked about this, they from Li Village should not just ignore it.

The Village Chief said, Well, I was aware that Xinlin Clinic could cure dying men, so I brought those injured young people here directly. We have just checked on them and most of them are recovering well, except for some who are just suffering from minor injuries. They should be fine after a while.

However, we need to talk about the payment with you Lady Chaoyan. The other clinics charged the payment first before doing the treatment, and you, Lady Chaoyan, have been kind enough to take care of us first before mentioning the payment. So we have to talk about this now.

It costs 70,000 liang, but that is too much for us. We have acc.u.mulated 3,000 liang together, but it is still a long way to go before 70,000.

I would like to ask whether we are able to pay monthly or yearly, so that we can pay it off little by little.

We will try our best to pay you back, the Village Chief said, embarra.s.sed and guilty.

He had been thinking that those injured men were defending them with their lives, so under the emergency, he had to make sure that they were cured. Therefore, he almost forgot about the 70,000 liang.

And later

He realized that it was very difficult to return the payment, but they could not just keep delaying the repayment. He had to try his best to solve this matter as soon as possible.

So he came to discuss it with Lady Chaoyan, rather than return the payment directly.

If Xinlin Clinic did not agree to receive the payment monthly, they would have to use their last resort.

They would have to turn the field into money and give it back to Xinlin Clinic.

The whole land should be worth 70,000 liang, but without the land, where would the villagers go? It was a very headache inducing issue.

However, as long as they were alive, everything else could be solved.

Gu Chaoyan looked at the Village Chief.
