Chapter 8: In the end, they tried to get rid of me with ten million.
Having dealt with Huang Mao, the Yan family then turned their attention to Yan Sui.
More than the shock Yan Sui had just given them, they were curious about why Yan Sui was here.
The answer is simple—
“My adoptive parents found their biological daughter, and I was kicked out.”
Yan Shunzhong and Yan Shunxia exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with astonishment.
How can you just abandon a daughter you've raised for so many years?
Their eyes showed heartache, and they imagined a pitiful scene of "the little cabbages turning yellow in the field".
"Child, you've suffered so much." The old woman held her hand, tears streaming down her face.
Yan Sui nodded in deep feeling, "That's right. I originally wanted to go home and inherit the family fortune, but they tried to get rid of me with ten million. The difference is unimaginable."
The old lady: "..." She cried too soon.
The other members of the Yan family all turned their faces away, feeling angry just looking at her.
Yan Shunzhong cleared his throat and hurriedly asked, "Sui Sui, so you came back this time to..."
"Ugh, the cost of living in the city is too high. I want to go back to the countryside to live."
Everyone suddenly realized.
"And what about your job?" The person who asked the question was Tian Xiangjuan, Yan Sui's aunt.
Tian Xiangjuan is fair-skinned and chubby, with a round face, and looks particularly kind.
Yan Sui had seen their information before. Tian Xiangjuan was a childcare teacher at a kindergarten in the town, and her temperament matched her job perfectly.
"I've retired from the entertainment industry and I'm currently unemployed."
Tian Xiangjuan thought that Yan Sui still had money and could support herself even without working.
She looked at Yan Shunzhong and said, "The second son only has one daughter, and his house originally belonged to Suisui."
Yan Shunguo was also a native of Changqing Village, so he naturally had a homestead here.
He used to be Yan Zhaohua's driver and bodyguard, and his salary was quite high, especially his year-end bonus.
After saving up the money, he built a courtyard house in Changqing Village.
This courtyard house is older than Yan Sui, and it's never been maintained. If Yan Sui wants to move in, it will need to be renovated.
Yan Shunzhong and Yan Shunxia both nodded in agreement.
They all looked at Yan Sui, asking for her opinion.
Yan Sui then said, "I'd like to go take a look first."
Yan Shunzhong stood up and said, "I have the key. I'll take you there; it's not far from here."
The rest of the Yan family members stood up, and everyone except the old man and the old woman followed suit.
This is a square courtyard house with a large yard in front.
There is a ginkgo tree outside the courtyard, which is said to have been planted by Yan Shunguo himself, and it is now more than 20 years old.
As soon as the gate opened, all that could be seen was overgrown weeds, taller than the rice paddies.
The brothers Yan Shunzhong and Yan Shunxia used sickles to cut through the weeds and make a path in the middle.
Yan Sui then noticed that there was a well nearby.
Yan Shun stared at her without blinking. "What's wrong?"
Yan Sui shook her head. "It's nothing."
This well is incredibly rich in spiritual energy.
She's determined to stay in this courtyard house!
Yan Shunzhong had just unlocked the door and was about to go inside.
Immediately, a sound came from outside.
"Shunzhong, what's wrong with you? Why did you come here?"
Yan Sui stopped in her tracks and looked back.
Yan Shunzhong walked out with a smile, "Sui Sui, this is Grandma Zhang who lives next door."
Yan Sui smiled politely, "Hello, Grandma Zhang."
Granny Zhang nodded with a smile, her face very gentle.
"Shunzhong, this child is..."
“Aunt, this is Yan Sui, a girl from the Shun Kingdom.”
Granny Zhang's aged eyes suddenly narrowed as she sized up Yan Sui.
"So you're a child from the Kingdom of Shun. You've grown up so much. Why did you suddenly come back?"
Yan Shunzhong: "This child wants to go back to live in the village."
Yan Sui keenly noticed the reluctance on Granny Zhang's face, and even the way Granny Zhang looked at her became unfriendly.
However, Yan Shunzhong was busy clearing away the weeds inside and didn't pay much attention.
Yan Sui didn't care much and followed them inside.
The courtyard inside is also quite large, with a clear view from one end to the other, and a very square layout.
The main house is a two-story building with a rooftop terrace.
"Although this house has been built for many years, it has hardly ever been lived in."
Building a house in his hometown was Yan Shunguo's obsession, but Yan Sui's biological mother disagreed, preferring to buy a house in the city.
Later, when Yan Shunguo worked for the Yan family, she rented a place to live with him.
Yan Shunguo would only bring Yan Sui's mother to stay in the village occasionally when he returned.
Yan Sui looked around and found very few traces left by her biological parents.
“Shunzhong, wasn’t this child adopted? Why has he suddenly come back?”
Upon hearing the sound, everyone realized that Granny Zhang had followed them in.
Yan Shunzhong explained, "It's not something that can be explained in a short time."
Granny Zhang's lips twitched twice. "All the young people in the village are leaving, but Yan Sui is different."
Yan Sui smiled faintly and said casually, "After living in the city for so long, I just want to go back to the village to retire."
Granny Zhang: "...You're only a few years old, why are you already taking care of me?"
"Retirement isn't about age, it's about whether you have money in your pocket." After saying that, Yan Sui looked at Yan Shunzhong.
"Uncle, I've decided to move back. I might need your help to get someone to fix up the house."
Yan Sui fell in love with Changqing Village the moment she got off the bus.
After wandering around the village, she vaguely felt a restlessness within her.
In just a few days, Sui Sui will be able to take human form.
Yan Shunzhong was actually a little hesitant when he saw that Yan Sui had made up her mind so quickly.
Over the years, those who remain in the village are mostly middle-aged and elderly people and some left-behind children.
Most young people are leaving home.
Even his two sons are the same; after graduating from university, they stayed in the city to work and only came back occasionally on weekends when they had free time.
Yan Sui, however, did the opposite, which made him somewhat worried.
He had heard about the child's online activities and feared that he had been severely traumatized.
“Sui Sui, I’m so happy that you’re back, but have you really thought it through? Our village is not like the city, and I’m afraid you won’t be used to living here.”
Yan Sui waved her hand, "Uncle, I've made up my mind!"
After years of struggling in the apocalypse, all she wanted to do was lie down and not fight.
As long as she doesn't start a business recklessly, the money she has is enough for her to live comfortably in the countryside.
“Uncle, since this courtyard house was built by my father, there’s no need to change it. Just renovate it as it is.”
Yan Shunzhong nodded in agreement.
He didn't know much about Yan Sui's situation, so he would try to persuade her properly once she was settled.
Granny Zhang's expression changed slightly. They were about to make some repairs. Did Yan Sui really intend to take the house away?
She had been waiting in the village for so many years, and thought she had finally gotten her hands on the house.
Yan Sui's sudden appearance made it impossible for her to accept it willingly.
Her grandson is getting married soon!
Yan Shunzhong led Yan Sui around for a while, then locked the gate again.
Unexpectedly, Granny Zhang was still waiting at the door.
"Auntie, is there anything else?"
Granny Zhang smiled and said, "Does Yan Sui really want to go back to the village? She's lived in the city for so many years, I'm afraid she won't be used to living here again."
Yan Sui keenly sensed that she really cared about her going back to live in the village.
She searched her memory but couldn't recall ever knowing Granny Zhang.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandma Zhang. I feel very safe with you next door, and I'm sure I'll get used to it!"
Granny Zhang: "..." Who cares about you!
She forced a smile. "What I mean is, such a big house would cost a lot to renovate. If you don't like living in the countryside, wouldn't that money be wasted? It's better to stay at your uncle's house. You can stay for ten days or so whenever you want."
Even Yan Shunzhong thought this method was good.
Yan Sui shook her head. "This is the house my father left me, and I want to renovate it. Grandma Zhang, there's no need to persuade me. I don't need this little bit of money."
Granny Zhang was so angry that her liver hurt, so she rushed home to call her grandson.
"If you don't come back soon, someone will take the house away!"
