Chapter 163: Unworldly

The group soon arrived at Shenjiazhuang.

When they saw the grand courtyard of Shen Yi's family, everyone in the Wei family was shocked.

Su Tai heard the noise and came out to open the door. Seeing that it was Chen Yi, she immediately smiled happily, "You are finally back."

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed the people behind Shen Yi, and hurriedly opened the door to let them in first.

It was already dark at this time, and Wei Laoqi's family could not see the situation in the yard at all. They could only follow Shen Yi into the main room timidly.

Seeing the furnishings in the main room and Su Zhan and Ruan Xiaoyu teasing the children, the whole family became even more uneasy.

Su Tai poured water for them, and they also looked very nervous.

Shen Yi and Su Zhan exchanged a few pleasantries before introducing themselves to Su Tai: "Their family's surname is Wei. Wei Laoqi specializes in ironwork. He came with me this time because he wanted to go back to the village to farm. He has to stay at our house for a few days and return after things in the village are settled."

Su Tai nodded in understanding, and with a polite smile went to the kitchen to prepare food.

There are both fish and meat.

This dish looked normal to Su Tai, but in the eyes of the poor Wei family, it was an extraordinary delicacy.

At this moment, Su Tai was looking at the wild boar in the yard and asked Chen Yi, "Do you want to sell it or kill it for our own consumption?"

"It's up to you. If you like it, I'll keep it. If you don't want to eat it, just sell it. It'll make some money anyway."

Su Tai thought for a moment and said, "Then let's stay. Spring ploughing will start in two days, and we have to prepare some food for the aunties and grandmas who are working. They will definitely be happy if we can stew a pot of wild boar meat."

The conversation between the two was heard by the Wei family in the main hall, and everyone had different thoughts.

When they returned to the wing room, Liu Jinhua looked around the clean and tidy house and looked at Wei Laoqi, "Old man, how do you think Shen Yi has been doing these past few years? Why did he suddenly build such a nice house and even hire people to do the spring ploughing? Doesn't this make him a landowner?"

Wei Laoqi sighed and shook his head, "How should I know? Why ask so many questions? Let's go back to the village and get the land back first. Let's not ask about Shen Yi's affairs. It's obvious that the child is not an ordinary person."

Liu Jinhua thought about how her old man almost died and survived until now thanks to the heroic Shen Yi. She couldn't help but feel a little regretful, "If I had known he was so capable, I would have promised my granddaughter to him."

Wei Laoqi was so shocked that he choked on his saliva and coughed repeatedly, "Old lady, I tell you to forget it! Not to mention that our granddaughter and Shen Yi's ages don't match, even if they do, it's useless, because she has been engaged to the Mo family since she was a child.

I think Mr. Mo is really lucky to have such a capable son-in-law for nothing."

Liu Jinhua couldn't agree more.

The two fell asleep while talking.

The next day they were awakened by noises in the yard before dawn.

When I came out, it was still dark!

Liu Jinhua was puzzled to see Shen Yi coming in and out, "Are you up to work so early?"

Chen Yi smiled and pointed to the next door and said, "We run a small business, so we have to get up at midnight to work. You can take a rest first. I won't come over after this trip."

Liu Jinhua was even more surprised.

But in my heart, I became more and more envious of the Shen family.

Look at how they live. They have a big yard, endless fields, and they also have a business. How can they compare to the lives of ordinary farmers?

Just as she was in a daze, Su Zhan also came out and shouted to Chen Yi: "Brother-in-law, why are you working right after you come back? Go back and rest quickly. I'll do it today. I'll do it tomorrow after you rest.

The family is almost busy now, I will take Xiaoyu back to Dongmen Village after daybreak."

"Okay! Tell me before you leave, and take half of the wild boar with you. We won't be able to finish it if we keep it at home."

"Okay! My dad will definitely be happy."

The two of them exchanged a few more words before going their separate ways.

Liu Jinhua became more and more confused the more she listened. She went back to the house and woke Wei Laoqi up. "Old man, isn't Shen Yi's wife from Ximen Village? How come she is from Dongmen Village?"

Wei Laoqi turned over, frowned and muttered, "He was originally from Ximen Village, you heard it wrong."

"Impossible! I heard it clearly, his brother-in-law was talking about Dongmen Village! If you don't believe me, let's ask in the morning!" Liu Jinhua suddenly became serious.

Wei Laoqi had no choice but to trick her into agreeing.

Liu Jinhua got up before dawn. The yard was quiet, but laughter could be heard from next door. The front door was ajar, and three black dogs were squatting by the door, vigilantly watching the people coming in and out.

Liu Jinhua approached the gate fearfully and walked out under the watchful gaze of the black dog.

Only after she walked out of two doors did she let out a long sigh of relief. Looking at the farmland outside the door and feeling the breath of the countryside in the early morning, her brows relaxed.

The Xu family went to the fields with farm tools on their shoulders. They were surprised to see Liu Jinhua standing outside Shen Yi's house, so they stepped forward and asked, "Are you Shen Yi's guests?"

Liu Jinhua looked over, smiled kindly at Xu and nodded.

Xu also smiled back and walked towards the field.

Seeing them working in the fields not far away, Liu Jinhua followed them and chatted with Xu.

"Which village are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"From Liujiazhuang next door."

"Liujiazhuang? I've been to Liujiazhuang several times. Which family are you from?" Xu racked her brains but couldn't think of Liu Jinhua.

After Liu Jinhua explained, Xu suddenly realized, "So you have been hiding in the mountains for several years and are only coming out now?"

Liu Jinhua nodded.

Xu looked regretful, "In the past two years, everyone has been planting high-yield crops and saved a lot of money. You have missed the good times! But it doesn't matter. If you work hard this year, you can earn more.

If you miss it this year, you won’t have a chance next year.”

Liu Jinhua immediately became anxious, "What did you say? Why is there no chance?"

Xu did not hide anything and said what Su Tai had told her, her eyes full of pride and arrogance, "Let me tell you, my niece-in-law knows a lot and is very capable. Before our Chen Yi got engaged to her, he had no food to eat. After getting engaged to the Su family, his luck changed immediately. Not only did he make money, he also has the wealth he has today. Do you think my niece-in-law is destined to be blessed and wealthy? You can't go wrong by listening to her."

Liu Jinhua was stunned when she heard this. She had thought of various possibilities for Shen Yi's success, but she had never thought that it was related to his wife.

He immediately asked in shock, "Isn't Chen Yi engaged to the Mo family of Ximen Village? How come it's the Su family now?"

"Hey! That was so many years ago! That girl from the Mo family is not good."

Xu exaggerated the story and told Liu Jinhua what had happened.

Liu Jinhua finally understood the twists and turns inside, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's said that you should marry a virtuous wife, and it's really true. If Chen Yi had married a girl from the Mo family, who knows what would happen now?"

"What can we do? Just look at the Xiong family in Ximen Village and you will know! Xiong Kai broke off the engagement with Su Tai and married Mo Chunxiang instead. His life is not easy now.

I heard that Mo Chunxiang is also a vain and lazy person who likes to compare with others. She can't do the housework properly and always wants this and that. In my opinion, even if you have a fortune, you can't afford her to tossing around like this! She's not going to make a fortune, it's good enough if she doesn't ruin the family!"

When Xu mentioned Mo Chunxiang, her eyes were full of disdain, and there was also a hint of relief and pride in her tone.
