Chapter 33 She predicted everything

"Don't come out to pick me up if it rains next time. I'll find a way back."

Xie Suzhou tilted his head halfway, his eyes fixed on her eyebrows. "It's raining heavily. Many people who make a living outside can't go home. Most of them are staying in the dilapidated temples they must pass on their way here. You're lucky you didn't run into any bad guys this time, but you might not be lucky next time."

Su Cheng raised his lips and smiled, and said softly, "Then let's work hard and buy a carriage for our family, so that we don't have to worry about getting wet in the rain."

"I'll do as you say." Xie Suzhou nodded, his eyelids drooping as he saw that her shoes were wet from the rain and covered in mud.

A sigh escaped Xie Suzhou's lips. He placed the oil-paper umbrella in Su Cheng's hand, bent down in front of her puzzled eyes, and lifted her up with his arms.

"Uncle...Uncle?" Panic flashed in Su Cheng's eyes. She subconsciously hugged his neck tightly, but found that his right shoulder was completely wet.

"Open the umbrella." Xie Suzhou's voice was low and pleasant, and he quickened his pace. "This way, no one of us will get wet."

Su Cheng turned away, not daring to look at him, and his hand holding the umbrella was shaking a little.

Xie Suzhou lowered his eyes, a faint smile on his lips, "Sister-in-law, what are you nervous about?"

"Who's nervous?" Su Cheng looked back, and her tall nose brushed against his lips.

For a moment, the two were silent.

Xie Suzhou's hand holding her trembled, and the person in his arms screamed in fear. She held his neck with greater strength and pressed her body against him more heavily.

Su Chenghua's face turned pale, and she looked up at him, "Xie Suzhou, you are not going to throw me down and go home by yourself, are you?"

"I won't leave you." Xie Suzhou's face was now as red as a cooked shrimp.

Why is my mouth so rude! I had to make a few jokes, and now my face is red.

Xie Suzhou felt regretful and strode towards home.

When I saw the dilapidated temple, I had already walked most of the way and would be home in less than a quarter of an hour.

Su Cheng also went from being panic-stricken at the beginning to now curled up in his arms with peace of mind, and did not forget to ask the man with concern, "Uncle, are you tired? Why don't you put me down and walk for a while."

After walking for so long, she was tired of holding the umbrella, and Xie Suzhou had to bear the weight of another person.

"The roads in the town are at least maintained, but there are still many puddles. The closer you get to the village, the muddier the road becomes. You always like to wear green, so if you rub the mud on your clothes hard, it will leave marks." Xie Suzhou did not relax his strength at all, and he did not look like he was struggling.

The physical condition is pretty good.

Su Cheng curled his lips and made up his mind.

This carriage must be bought.

"A-Ming said that our land is always being turned over at night. Does sister-in-law have any suspects in mind?"

A man's questioning voice came from above. Su Cheng felt suffocated when he thought of this matter. "Too many people have been offended. It's hard to make a conclusion at the moment. I don't know if it's the Su family, the Song family, or Zhou Beibei's father... Xie Ming went to the fields to guard them yesterday, and happened to catch me fainting from the poison. After he ran home, the fields were disturbed again."

"Just blindly defending is useless. Given Village Chief Chen's personality, if only our land was turned over, he would definitely play dumb and ignore it. It's better to stir up this mess so that no one can rest easy."

Xie Suzhou's face flashed with confusion, and he lowered his voice, "What do you mean, sister-in-law?"

Su Cheng spoke slowly, his expression calm, "There are still quite a few seeds left from the big bag I gave to Xie Ming. I'll distribute them to the families at the end of the village when I get home. We live close together, and our fields are adjacent. Who wouldn't be anxious if the land gets turned over? We'll definitely have to conduct a thorough investigation."

Xie Suzhou frowned, "But why would Aunt Liu and those families trust us?"

Su Cheng's lips curled up into a sly smile, and he said slowly, "You don't know how powerful my seeds are. They grow potatoes, which can be used as a staple food. They can be grown twice a year and are suitable for both the north and the south. The yield is huge. Isn't this what farmers want?"

"As long as they hear me talk about it, they will definitely be tempted. Even if they don't dare to try it on their own land at first, they will keep their eyes on our land. Then, will Xie Ming still need to run around?" Su Cheng's eyebrows curved slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. "I can provide seeds, no matter how much, and I will take 2% of the profit."

Xie Suzhou pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "If I can really achieve what my sister-in-law just said, perhaps I can find a buyer for her."

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked softly, "Do you have someone in mind?"

Xie Suzhou's eyes flickered, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "I came to town today because Lord Wang found a way for me and introduced me to King Ruyang."

"Prince Ruyang?" Su Cheng exclaimed softly, "But who was that in my dream?"

"Yes, it's the Prince of Ruyang in Dingbei." Xie Suzhou nodded, a hint of smile in his eyes. "He has accepted me as his staff member. Once the palace examination is over and I win the third place, I can be used by him. If this trick works, sister-in-law, it will solve a big problem for him. Although Dingbei is a large area, there are not many things that can be grown there, and there is no market nearby. The crops are not popular among people from other cities, and they will rot if they can't be sold."

"We sell the seeds to Dingbei and then look for buyers in Ganping County. We can monopolize the market here and make money on both sides."

Su Cheng's eyes sparkled, and without the slightest hesitation, he said, "That's feasible!"

Then he seemed to think of something and said, "Have you heard of Dou Mingwei when you were there today?"

Xie Suzhou was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "No."

"That's a pity." Su Cheng's face showed regret. He glanced at him from the corner of his eye and murmured, "In my dream, Xie Ming joined the army to defend the king and led a fierce battle with the Dingbei Army. A general named Dou Mingwei took a fancy to him and tried to persuade Xie Ming to surrender, but he refused."

"Although in the dream Xie Ming risked his life to narrowly defeat Dou Mingwei, he followed the wrong master. Even if he won, he would still be branded a traitor and a traitor."

Xie Suzhou was frightened when he heard this and slowed down his pace a lot.

She described it so clearly and in such detail, could it really be a scene from a dream?

First it was Lord Wang, then Prince Ruyang, and now Dou Mingwei has appeared.

She predicted everything correctly.

Is it a dream or a prediction?

Seeing Xie Suzhou in deep thought, Su Cheng was very considerate and stopped talking. The two looked at each other in silence and walked towards home. No one noticed that there was a pair of hateful eyes hidden in the dilapidated temple behind them.

"Beibei, Daddy brought some bread, come and eat it."

The woman by the window shook her head and stared at the two figures going away, hatred filling her eyes. "Why...why did Su Cheng suddenly appear out of nowhere?"

Zhou Kai paused, looking at his daughter with some distress, "Beibei, you just got out of prison, why are you thinking about that little whore again?"

"If it weren't for her mischief, my daughter would have married Suzhou Brother long ago!" Zhou Beibei turned around, tears streaming down her face. "Now that I've been to jail and my reputation is ruined, how can Suzhou Brother marry me?"

"Alas..." Zhou Kai put down the pancake in his hand, his appetite gone for a moment, his eyes rolling around, "If you really hate her... Daddy will teach you a trick."
