"Uh, I'm really sorry, I've been too busy lately, managing the factory and studying for my driving license..." Wang Xiaoqiang said with embarrassment.

"You, the big factory director, haven't worked yourself to death, have you? Oh, the Chicken Farm is up and running, right?"

"We've sold several batches of eggs!" Wang Xiaoqiang said happily.

"Uh, then why didn't you bring them to sell in the Provincial Capital? Pheasant eggs fetch a higher price there than you mentioned last time. I asked around at a few major hotels recently. They buy Wild Mountain Eggs by the piece, around eight yuan each..." Xu Qingxue said methodically.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang felt touched. He didn't expect Xu Qingxue to be so concerned about his affairs, even going as far as to ask about prices in advance. Seeing this, he responded promptly, "I am actually planning on that. Can you let me know when you're free, so I can bring the eggs over?"

"The day after tomorrow, I'm free then," Xu Qingxue said.

"All right, then the day after tomorrow it is." After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaoqiang rushed from Mantou Mountain to the village health clinic.

Last time, he promised Xu Qingxue to look into gynecological diseases, but he had forgotten about it amidst his hectic schedule. He was due to meet Qingxue in the Provincial Capital the day after tomorrow. Could he treat gynecological diseases? He had to give her some kind of explanation. Wang Xiaoqiang only had a junior high education, had never studied medicine, and was also a virgin.

It wasn't just gynecological diseases he was unsure about; he even had a poor understanding of women's physiological habits, let alone treating their diseases?

So, the purpose of his visit to the village health clinic was to see if there were any books on gynecological diseases. He needed to study up on this in the next couple of days.

Speaking of which, Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't been to the health clinic for several months. Each time he passed by, he hurried past the entrance. He purposely avoided Little Xu Xiaoya.

Little Xu Xiaoya saw that Wang Xiaoqiang's business was growing bigger and bigger. In just half a year, he had transformed from a down-and-out junior high school student into a factory director, and she was happy for him. But every time she thought about how purposely he avoided her, a feeling of resentment welled up inside her.

If they couldn't be boyfriend and girlfriend, being ordinary friends should have been fine, right? Why the need to always avoid and not see her?

In Sanmiao Village, Little Xu Xiaoya didn't have many people to talk to, especially not the few young men in the village who only came to the health clinic to harass her, which she found utterly annoying. She didn't have any dislike towards Wang Xiaoqiang, but ever since he last brought her chicken, he hadn't appeared in front of her again.

And Aunt Big Mouth, who used to often come to talk to her and encourage her friendship with Wang Xiaoqiang, hadn't shown up lately either. Little did she know that Zheng Dazui had already started considering his niece Zheng Shuang for Wang Xiaoqiang's affections, and now, even if Little Xu Xiaoya wanted to get closer to Wang Xiaoqiang, she would only encounter interference from Zheng Dazui.

So, when Wang Xiaoqiang appeared, it took Little Xu Xiaoya by surprise. She thought he must be sick; otherwise, he wouldn't come to the health clinic.

Fortunately, there was hardly anyone in the clinic at the moment, so she stood up to greet him, smiling as she asked, "Director Wang, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Let's not call me that, it feels so awkward..." Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand awkwardly, his gaze wandering around the clinic looking for medical books. That's when he noticed a stack neatly placed on a table near the pharmacy entrance.

"Aren't you a factory director now?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Little Xu Xiaoya's voice.

"If you want to call me that, go ahead!" Wang Xiaoqiang said nonchalantly, moving toward the table filled with books.

Little Xu Xiaoya paused at Wang Xiaoqiang's indifferent demeanor, rolling her eyes at his retreating figure.

Wang Xiaoqiang approached the table under the window at the pharmacy door and saw a stack of medical books on the table. He casually began to look through them.

"Aren't you here to see the doctor? What are you searching for?" Little Xu Xiaoya walked over and asked.

"I'm perfectly healthy. I'm here to borrow a book to read..." As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he had already found a book titled "Complete Guide to Gynecological Diseases". This wasn't a coincidence; the books were brought by Little Xu Xiaoya herself, who had specialized in gynecology during medical school.

Little Xu Xiaoya saw Wang Xiaoqiang flipping through a copy of "A Complete Guide to Gynecology" and immediately her eyes widened in disbelief, followed by a snort of laughter. Between laughs, she said, "You, what are you doing looking at that book?"

"Can't I study it?" Wang Xiaoqiang's face was a bit flushed.

"What's it to you, a chicken farm owner, to study that? Could it be that you want to become a doctor?"

"I can always cure the hens, can't I!"

"Ahahaha..." After hearing this, Little Xu Xiaoya laughed so hard she bent over, eventually laughing so much it hurt her stomach, and she squatted on the ground, unable to stand up.

"Hey, stop laughing, someone's coming!" Wang Xiaoqiang reminded her.

When Little Xu Xiaoya turned her head to look, a Xiali car indeed drove into the health station. A man around twenty-six or seven got out, his hair dyed red, and he wore a pair of earrings like a woman, looking flashy with a faint hint of yin softness.

Seeing the man walk into the clinic, Little Xu Xiaoya's smile rapidly froze, her complexion turning pale in an instant. That man was none other than Li Wei, the boyfriend her parents had arranged for her in the county town—she just hadn't expected this guy to actually find this place.

"You really are here!" Li Wei stepped into the health station and, seeing Little Xu Xiaoya squatting on the ground, a flicker of annoyance crossed his face as he demanded, "How long do you plan to hide from me?"

Little Xu Xiaoya stood up, clutching her stomach, still in pain from laughing, and looked at Li Wei with disgust, "Li Wei, what do you mean by me hiding from you? Where I go is my business, it has nothing to do with you!"

"It has nothing to do with me... What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? We are betrothed through our parents' arrangement, with the go-between's word. Your parents agreed, and now you are my fiancée, yet here you are, pretending we're strangers..." As Li Wei spoke, his gaze swept the clinic, finally landing on Wang Xiaoqiang.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang leisurely flipping through a medical book, clearly not here for treatment, a flash of jealousy crossed his face, and gnashing his teeth, he pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang and questioned Little Xu Xiaoya, "Tell me, who is this man?"

Little Xu Xiaoya instinctively glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang and coldly stared at Li Wei, "Who he is—is none of your business. If you're not sick, leave this place quickly!"

"Great, so you hide here for this bumpkin," Li Wei sneered and prodded, "Little Xu Xiaoya, this is degrading yourself..."

"Degrading myself is still better than you making a fool of yourself over and over," Little Xu Xiaoya shot back defiantly. She wanted Li Wei to give up on her completely, and glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang subconsciously, "That's right, I already have a boyfriend, Li Wei, so don't come bothering me anymore!"

"So it is... Really... You've brought shame upon yourself!" Li Wei's words were clenched with anger. At first, he was just suspicious, but now he was certain that Little Xu Xiaoya had indeed taken up with the man before him. The color of jealousy in his eyes grew even thicker as he sized up Wang Xiaoqiang carefully.

Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang dressed like a peasant, clearly a man from this mountain village, his sense of unfairness grew. He approached Wang Xiaoqiang, snatched the book from his hand, and demanded, "Kid, you da** dare to steal my girlfriend? Do you know who I am?"

"Does who you are matter to me?" Although Wang Xiaoqiang was angry because of Li Wei's relationship with Little Xu Xiaoya, he didn't lose his temper but instead retorted.

"Kid, I'm warning you, break it off with my girlfriend from now on, or I will be ruthless..."

Li Wei had barely uttered the word "ruthless" when he received a slap from Wang Xiaoqiang. With that slap, Wang Xiaoqiang forced the word "ruthless" right back down Li Wei's throat.

"You, you dare to hit me?" Wang Xiaoqiang's slap wasn't light, and five finger marks instantly appeared on Li Wei's clean face. Li Wei had never been treated this way before, and he now doubted if what was happening before him was even real.

"So what if I hit you?" Wang Xiaoqiang snatched back the "A Complete Guide to Gynecology" from Li Wei's hand, "That was just a light warning. Get out quickly, or I'll make sure you leave lying down!"

"You, you country bumpkin... Fine, you've got some nerve, dare to tell me your name?" Li Wei covered the marks on his face with one hand, and pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang with the other.

"Wang Xiaoqiang," Wang Xiaoqiang said without any hesitation.
