Chapter 708 River God 15

She does enjoy life, but she doesn't have much interest in money and doesn't care much about material possessions.

These things may seem contradictory, but that's the truth.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have willingly accompanied him to the free clinic.

However, even if Yan Yan only wants his money and only wants to cheat him out of his money, he is willing to live with him as long as she is willing to do so!

“My husband, I think this Mu City is quite nice. Why don’t we stay here for the rest of the year? I don’t want to leave for now.”

He Wei: How is this any good? The whole place is covered in dust, the village houses are dilapidated, and the people are dressed in tattered clothes. It's clear that they are as poor as they can get.

Their free clinics are located in relatively poor areas because the people there suffer and cannot afford medical care, making their free clinics meaningful.

But if the lady says this place is nice, then it is nice. Let's stay here.

He thought Ning Yan meant staying in the village, so he wanted to buy a house there.

The next second, his waist was twisted hard.

"Are you just pretending to suffer without experiencing hardship? Are we so poor that we can't even afford a house in the city?"

"I can afford it, I can afford it. I just misunderstood. I thought you liked this village?"

Ning Yan's eyes widened. Who would like a poor and dilapidated little village?

Are you crazy?

"I don't like it!"

"Okay, okay, let's go to the city and buy a house, the biggest and best house."

Ning Yan then let go of her hand. "That's more like it."

The two maids quickly lowered their heads upon seeing this, otherwise they would be scolded again if the master discovered that they were secretly laughing.

He Wei bought the house very quickly; the house was in hand and the staff were in place in just five days. Even the flowers, trees and shrubs were planted.

Ning Yan was very satisfied after seeing it. Back in the spacious living room, He Wei dismissed all the servants and then carried her to a chair.

"Yanyan, isn't that a coincidence?"

Ning Yan turned her head to look at him, "What?"

"The Ning family was sold here back then, and they're farming in the mountains west of the county town. Would you like to go and take a look?"

Ning Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Then we definitely have to go and take a look."

"It's a bit late today, and it rained tonight. It'll rain all day tomorrow, so let's go the day after tomorrow."

He is the river god, in charge of protecting rivers and waterways, but he is also particularly sensitive to rainfall. If he says it will rain tomorrow, then it will definitely rain.

Ning Yan wrapped her arms around the man's neck and kissed him on the lips. He Wei's eyes darkened slightly, and he wouldn't let her leave. He placed his large hand on Ning Yan's back, and their lips were pressed tightly together.

Ning Yan didn't stand on ceremony and slipped her hand inside the man's shirt.

Because they were busy buying a house, they hadn't done much at the guesthouse these past few days; the two of them were completely absorbed in their own pursuits.

An hour later, the living room door opened, and He Wei carried Ning Yan back to the main courtyard.

It was already dark when the food was brought to the main courtyard. He Wei insisted on holding her and feeding her, and Ning Yan's protests were ineffective. After eating and washing up, Ning Yan was carried to bed again.

What's a good thing to do on a rainy day?

Don't ask, just do it!

On the morning of the third day, the gate to the main courtyard was opened.

Ning Yan, like a flower bud that has been nourished, went out looking radiant.

He Wei, equally spirited, accompanied her, his wide sleeves completely concealing their clasped hands. Ning Yan couldn't shake him off no matter how hard she tried; she could only say that this man was too clingy.

"Master and Madam."

He Wei hummed in agreement, then helped Ning Yan into the carriage. The carriage swayed and wobbled slowly towards the western suburbs. At this time, the streets were bustling with activity, and various vendors were calling out their wares. Even though she had already eaten breakfast, Ning Yan still had several kinds of snacks bought for her.

She silently noted down the delicious foods, as there were many dishes in this world that she had never tasted before. She planned to stock up on them before leaving, so that she wouldn't be unable to eat them in the future.

"Do you really love eating these things that much?"

Ning Yan picked up a piece of food made of minced meat and vegetables and fed it to He Wei. "Try it, isn't it delicious?"

She tried this wild vegetable again and again, but still couldn't figure out what it was. It must be something unique to the area. She forgot to ask what it was called earlier. It was cooked with meat, made into strips the size of a little finger, fried, and then served with a simmered broth. It tasted especially delicious, and the broth was also very tasty.

He Wei tasted it and said, "This contains leaves of the tree. These leaves have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and they can enhance the flavor. The taste is also excellent. It's a pity that this herb is only found locally, so you've never eaten it before."

Oh, that's really a good thing. I must put some in my shrine. I can try eating it with other foods later.

Ning Yan picked up another piece and put it into the man's mouth, but the chopsticks were held in his mouth and his waist was wrapped around her. Ning Yan glanced at the man and thought, "This stinky man, so lecherous!"

"Let go! We're outside, don't do anything reckless."

He Wei let go of his mouth, pursed his lips and ate the food. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth with it, then kissed Ning Yan on the cheek.

Ning Yan didn't dodge; she quickly stuffed another piece of food from her bowl into his mouth, afraid he might do something reckless in the car.

The car swayed for more than an hour before finally coming to a stop.

This suburb is really far away.

"This whole area, including those mountains, belongs to a boss surnamed Jiao. His estate is very large and employs over a thousand people."

The car drove slowly along the country road, and soon Ning Yan saw the people working hard under the scorching sun. It was late September, the golden autumn season, the time for harvest.

From afar, the shouts and curses of the foremen could be heard: "You brat, how dare you waste food! You can forget about lunch!"

Along with the shouts and curses came the loud crack of a whip. "Stop, stop hitting me! I was just so hungry I was picking things up..."

"You think you can steal food just because you're hungry? You deserve a beating!" With two sharp cracks, the boy received two more lashes.

Ning Yan has excellent eyesight and immediately recognized the person being beaten not far away as Ning Zhu, the second son of her second uncle's family, who is thirteen years old this year.

Not far from Ning Zhu, the entire Ning family was busy working.

"So it turns out that even if my aunt does farm work, she can still turn into a country auntie."

When the original owner was at home, her aunt would always look at the family with disdain. Everyone in the family was a peasant, while she was a celestial fairy. As soon as she was associated with them, she was no longer noble.

But she never thought that with all the money her family earned going towards supporting her, she could certainly dress up beautifully, be impeccably clean, and never lift a finger.

If she had ever worked in the fields for even a day, she would have known that she was no different from anyone else.

Now, Ning Qiulan has not only become rustic and covered in dust, but even her once beautiful face is gone.

Prolonged sun exposure and insufficient food intake caused her skin to become sallow.

He was very thin, and his gray linen clothes were covered with patches.
