After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 498 Harvesting Fruit

Upon hearing this, young master Liu Mang quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry! It's my fault. But where did you go?"

Su Xiaoxiao hates having to report her whereabouts to others, especially when it comes to dating. She finds it even more annoying, as if her personal freedom is being taken away.

Besides, she has no relationship with young master Liu Mang at all, so why should she tell him?

"I didn't go anywhere!"

Su Xiaoxiao was unhappy and seemed unwilling to talk to Young Master Liu Mang.

After opening her door, Su Xiaoxiao turned to the two men and said, "Alright, I'm feeling very tired today. You two should go back. I'm not in the mood to entertain you."

As she spoke, she blocked the two people outside the door without saying a word, then locked the door and went inside to sleep.

Qian Musheng and Liu Mang, who were standing at the door, looked at each other. Liu Mang was very angry and complained with a pout, "It's all your fault. Look, Miss Su is kicking out her guests. When has Su Xiaoxiao ever been so rude before?"

Qian Musheng was so angry at the sight that he almost laughed.

"Come on, give me a break! Let me tell you, if you hadn't come, Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't have changed her attitude so quickly. She might have even invited me in for breakfast!"

After Qian Musheng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Young Master Liu Mang to say anything in rebuttal, and immediately turned around and left.

His carriage was parked at an inn at the entrance of the village, where people were assigned to feed it and take care of it.

In the end, only Young Master Liu Mang was left yelling and screaming in front of Su Xiaoxiao's door.

He was so angry he didn't know what to say, but Su Xiaoxiao had already turned him away.

Can he still keep waiting at people's doors and knocking? That would be too impolite.

After Qian Musheng left, Liu Mang had no choice but to leave in a huff.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the window in the inner room and looked out. Only after the two men outside the door had left did she feel relieved and begin to wash up.

In that sense, Su Xiaoxiao seems to have returned to the past, surrounded by two handsome men, a feeling that seems somewhat familiar.

But now Su Xiaoxiao seems to have a new pursuit. She no longer feels that way. She is now completely occupied by the matter of saving lives with her medical skills.

Su Xiaoxiao was also very happy at this moment, after all, she had gained another skill.

Before she transmigrated here, Su Xiaoxiao's biggest dream was to become a doctor, the kind who could treat illnesses and save lives.

Moreover, she also possesses a magical artifact called the medicine box that unlocks space, which can be used to treat patients.

When she was a secret agent, she also learned some basic medical knowledge, including very common first aid.

This time, however, Su Xiaoxiao possesses skills sufficient to heal and treat illnesses. It seems she's invincible.

Sometimes, she can't help but feel proud of having such a skill.

After washing up, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to eat something, only to find that the food she and Qian Musheng had cooked a few days ago had gone bad. There was really no way to preserve food in ancient times; it was difficult to keep food for that long, especially since she hadn't been home for two days. It was normal for food to grow mold and spoil.

Su Xiaoxiao felt heartbroken. If the carpenter hadn't suddenly run into trouble at home and come to her for help, the boiled fish she made for Qian Musheng wouldn't have been eaten by the two of them and now had a layer of yellowish-green mold.

Oh, what a pity!
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly had a whimsical thought: it would be really nice to have a refrigerator used in ancient times.

Unfortunately, where could one find a refrigerator in this era? With Su Xiaoxiao's knowledge, it was far from enough for her to make one in ancient times.

Right now, such thoughts are just in my mind; how could I possibly put them into practice?
The village chief knocked on Su Xiaoxiao's door again. "I heard you helped the carpenter in our village cure his wife's illness. I didn't expect you to do us such a big favor again. I really should thank you. But I also have a favor to ask you, Dr. Su, if you could help us again?"

"What's the deal?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked, quite puzzled. Although the village chief had been troubling her, Su Xiaoxiao could understand it. After all, people with great abilities are bound to be a little busier.

"Well, the fruit trees in our village are about to bear fruit, but they're about to rot on the trees because no one is harvesting them. The big spender from Beijing who bought all the fruit from our village last year is no longer here. I was thinking of finding another supplier this year, but it hasn't been going well."

What kind of fruit do you grow?

Su Xiaoxiao asked with great curiosity.

"Our apples and oranges are growing incredibly well, you won't believe me. I'll take you to see them. The only problem is we don't have any connections; nobody wants to buy them..."

The village chief looked quite troubled; indeed, these were things a village chief had to consider. Su Xiaoxiao noticed that the village chief's hair had turned gray, mainly because he was so worried.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the fruits covering the mountains and fields. They were all ripe for harvest. If there was no market for them, even the best fruits would eventually fall to the ground, rot, and no one would want them.

Su Xiaoxiao thought it would be better to buy all these fruits and open a similar jam workshop in the capital.

Thinking back to the workshop in Baihua Village, everything stopped after Su Xiaoxiao left. With no one running it, all of Su Xiaoxiao's previous efforts were in vain.

But this time in Wangshui Village, seeing the fruit trees that the villagers had worked hard to plant for a year, only to find that the fruit could not be sold, wouldn't all their previous efforts have been in vain?

This won't do! Su Xiaoxiao's compassion immediately surged again, and she decided that she must help the villagers of Wangshui Village overcome this crisis.

Su Xiaoxiao said to the village chief of Wangshui Village, "Don't worry, I've harvested all the fruit your village planted this year."

"what?"

The village chief looked surprised and waved his hand awkwardly, saying, "But Dr. Su, why are you collecting so many fruits by yourself? You're not of any use to them. I just want you to help me find a distributor. Your friends, Young Master Qian and Young Master Liu, seem to be wealthy businessmen and officials in the capital. I think they must have connections."

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "You're really not stupid."

"I don't need them. I can handle this all by myself. Don't worry!"

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao was quite confident this time, but it didn't seem very realistic to not ask Qian Musheng for help.

If she were to open a jam workshop, she would still need to seek out Qian Musheng, but she didn't know if Qian Musheng would be willing to help her this time.

Thinking back to our previous collaboration, it was actually quite enjoyable.
