Xiaobai pursed his lips, a tiny curve appeared at the corners of his lips, a faint smile flickered in his black gemstone-like eyes. He gently tucked her hair behind her ears, held her face, stroked her fair and smooth cheek with his thumb, lowered his head and kissed Xu Shan's pink lips, carefully, as if they were a treasure.

After a long time, they finally let go of each other. Xu Shan lowered her head and leaned in his arms. She was too shy to look up. Her eyelashes trembled with nervousness. How adorable it was. Xiaobai looked at her deeply.

The next day, the second and third brothers saw the two of them and noticed something was different.

They don't know exactly what's different, but they just feel it's different.

As human beings, neither of them was stupid enough to ask. After all, they were a couple in love, and they must have spent a night of passion together last night.

Breakfast was made by Xiaobai. Xiaobai didn't want Xiaoshan to do it, so he made it himself.

The second and third sons had never seen the eldest son be so homely.

It was my first time eating food cooked by my eldest brother, and I was a little nervous, but there was nothing I could do because neither of them knew how to cook.

Xu Min came just after breakfast.

He held Xu Shan's hand and talked nonstop.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I went to the city yesterday, just for one day, and missed a lot of things."

When she came back last night, she heard from her mother that Liang Chunyang had been arrested.

In order to shirk responsibility, Li Hanliang is preparing to divorce Liang Chunyang.

Xu Min had only one word for these two people: they deserved it.

Finally, I heard from her mother that Xu Shan was back.

I was so happy that I almost stayed up all night.

In the end, she was stopped by her mother, who said that Xu Shan had brought a man back.

Today, I saw some scary men next to Xu Shan. I was startled and asked, "Shan Shan, who are these men?"

"This is my fiancé, and those two are his brothers."

"Fiancé? Really?"

Xu Shan glanced at her sideways: "Is this kind of thing really true?"

"I just didn't expect it." Xu Min whispered, "They look so scary."

Xu Shan smiled and didn't respond. Maybe it was scary, after all, they had been in the underworld for so many years and they still had the aura.

"By the way, Li Changshan didn't come after you came back, did he?"

"She didn't come. I guess she was too embarrassed to come."

"That's not necessarily true. People like him are thicker-skinned than city walls. He will definitely come back. Just wait and see.

By the way, what are you going to do when you come back this time?"

"It depends on the situation. I just brought my fiancé back to pay respect to my parents."

"Well, that's as it should be. I thought you were going to just go ahead and have the wedding."

"Let's forget about the wedding. I don't have many relatives here, so even if I have it, there won't be many people around. By the way, how's your orchard?"

"They look pretty good. I've picked up a lot this year. Come on, I'll take you to see them."

Xu Shan saw that Dabai had not gone out to play since coming here.

Just take Xiaobai and Dabai along.

"Originally, there were over fifty trees. This year, I planted dozens of seedlings, and 80 to 90 percent of them have survived. I don't think they'll bear fruit this year, but next year there should be no problem. Look, each of these fifty-plus orange trees is carrying 200 to 300 kilograms of fruit. This is only the second year, and the third year will definitely yield even more."

"If you want saplings, tell me. I have plenty. They'll bear fruit a year sooner than transplanting them."

"I just wanted to try and see if I could plant some trees. If I had known you were coming back, I would have asked you to plant dozens for me."

"Wait until I get back. I'll mail you dozens of these saplings. As long as they come with soil, they'll survive anytime you plant them."

"Okay, give me more. This kiln factory still has a lot of vacant land. I expect to make two to three thousand yuan this year, but that's not a lot. If it comes to next year, it will definitely be a big harvest. My current annual income is not enough for me to spend. When I have nothing to do, I continue to work in the county town."

"Go to work? What for?"

"I work in a fruit processing factory. I deal with fruit all the time, so I can learn from them and see how they make dried fruit.

There's also canned fruit. I told our factory manager that I have an orange orchard, and he said he wanted to see the oranges when they were ripe. He seemed interested and wanted my fruit.

"That's good. The oranges are ripe and there's no problem selling them."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too. Best of both worlds."

Xu Shan and Xiaobai walked around Xu Min's orchard for more than an hour.

After taking Dabai back, Xu Min took a morning off and had to go back to work.

When the two arrived home, they saw a slightly plump middle-aged man standing in their yard.

Although Xu Shan didn't see his face, she recognized Li Changshan from his back.

“Brother, this man is looking for his sister-in-law.”

The second and third brothers had only heard of Li Changshan but had never seen him.

However, after hearing Li Changshan introduce him as Xu Shan's Uncle Li, the two had already guessed it.

He didn't say anything and just pretended not to know me.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't leave and the two people were unwilling to pay attention to him.

The man stood in the yard in a daze for half an hour.

Until the boss and two people came back.

Xu Min was right, Li Changshan really came.

"Shanshan, you're finally back. You've been away for so many years without even a phone call or a letter. Your Aunt Chen and I have been worried for a long time. You're such a worrying child! How could you just leave like that when everything is fine at home?"

As soon as Li Changshan saw Xu Shan coming back, he tried to get close to her.

After all this talk, Xu Shan sneered and distanced herself from Li Changshan until he finished. "Uncle Li, I'm 25 years old now. I'm no longer a child who can be fooled. There's no need for our two families to be so polite."

"Shanshan, what are you talking about? You have no relatives at home, but your father is my sworn brother. His daughter is naturally my daughter too."

"Oh, you occupied the farm without my consent, allowed your son to bully and insult his fiancée, and even cheated on her. Not only did you sit back and do nothing as an adult, but you even thought about having a daughter for nothing to pave the way for you."

"Shanshan, it seems you have misunderstood me too deeply. The contract for the farm has already expired. A girl like you definitely can't take over your father's work. Besides, our farm doesn't make any money. I want you, an orphan, to withdraw in time to reduce the loss. I will take care of everything. I did that for your own good. You don't know that in the past few years, it's either chicken plague or various diseases. Anyway, we didn't make any money. I heard that you set up a farm outside and it's doing quite well.

You see, it was Uncle Li’s foresight that allowed you to withdraw in time, which led to your current success.

As for Han Liang, well, I was busy with other things at the time and didn't keep an eye on him, so he made a mistake. I apologize to you here."
