Chapter 1067: One More Thing
She had actually forgotten about the payment.
She opened the Xinlin Clinic and charged so high, not to make money for herself. She did it because first of all, she wanted to show the whole capital, and even other places that Xinlin Clinic only cured dying people and secondly, she really expected to cure dying people.
There were many famous clinics in the capital. So it was very difficult to let a newly-opened clinic earn trust and to gain fame. It took time.
That was why Gu Chaoyan did it through this method.
She did not care about the high payment, but she cared about those who came to get cured.
Just as the Village Chief said. It had been a difficult time for Li Village, and the court did not seem to care about them either. So under such a difficult situation, they should not be charged with payment.
However, that was the rule so it should not be ignored.
Then what should she do to make it reasonable?
…..
Gu Chaoyan started to think.
While she was silent, the people from Li Village were staring at her, feeling rather anxious. That was 70,000 liang, and any decision made by Gu Chaoyan was going to change their destinies in the future. They were really nervous.
Gu Chaoyan thought for a while and soon came up with a look of relaxation.
She sipped the tea and showed a brief smile, as she glanced at those people from Li Village and asked calmly, “You are living on planting and fis.h.i.+ng right?”
That was what Gu Chaoyan noticed at Li Village.
Apart from the land, they had a river, which was large and good for fis.h.i.+ng.
The people from Li Village nodded.
The Village Chief nodded too. He wondered what Lady Chaoyan was asking about their means of living when they were talking about payment?
When Gu Chaoyan heard the sounds of confirmation she nodded. “In this way, you don’t have to pay me back with money. But you can supply us with vegetables and fish for five years. After five years, the debt is paid. What do you think?”
Gu Chaoyan looked at the people from Li Village calmly.
Everyone showed a look of surprise, including the Village Chief.
Well… That was just… so easy!
Five years of food supply was worth far less than 70,000 liang, even 100 years was not enough.
Lady Chaoyan was taking care of them!
Moved, the Village Chief just had no idea what to say.
With tears in his eyes, he looked at Gu Chaoyan with excitement, so moved that he had no idea what to say.
The Village Chief took a few steps forward and suddenly kneeled down.
Gu Chaoyan got startled and took a step sideways.
Xiu Jie helped the man up.
Flus.h.i.+ng, Gu Chaoyan said calmly, “That is the deal, Xiu Jie can speak with you about the details.”
She was about to leave when Shanhu’s grandma shouted after she saw the scene. “Lady Chaoyan, please, I have one more thing to discuss with you.”
