By the time the Xie family found out, the woman had already miscarried. Xu's sister cried and wailed, demanding several boys to vandalize the He family's house.
Xie Jin, pressured by his elderly father, had no choice but to take his two younger brothers along to go through the motions.
On the other side, Li Hongdan felt extremely guilty after learning that He Shan had hit Xie Fang.
She knew the man had violent tendencies, and she had suffered from it herself. Not wanting her brother and sister-in-law to worry, she never mentioned it.
Unexpectedly, Xie Fang, after being reborn, stepped into the situation and stole her former husband.
The fact that she had secretly intercepted He Shan's goods, causing Xie Fang to be beaten and miscarry, made Li Hongdan feel uneasy and guilty.
She didn't hate Xie Fang; in fact, she felt a little sorry for her. After all, He Shan was not only a womanizer but also a terrible person!
Li Hongdan knew very well why he hit her, but she really didn't mean to provoke He Shan!
In his previous life, He Shan looked like an ordinary businessman, and didn't seem to have much money.
In fact, no one knew that he was an antique dealer who took advantage of the opening up to sell national treasures to foreigners one by one.
After being beaten, Li Hongdan was also confused about what she had done to offend him. It wasn't until she understood his past actions that she realized what had triggered his anger.
The things that He Shan is hiding in the back mountain were all secretly transported here by He Shan and his group of people.
After the movement begins, he will get more things from all over the country.
Decades later, through the sale of cultural relics, he amassed an enormous fortune. Each of his five or six illegitimate sons received enough to dominate a province.
He Shan is a true hidden tycoon, but unfortunately, he made his fortune by stepping on the blood and tears of the nation's civilization.
In her past life, she was also killed when she submitted evidence to the state. She knew who the mastermind was even with her eyes closed.
The reason she had to collect the items from the back mountain this time was because there was a 10-meter-long calligraphy and painting artifact among them.
The treasure was later sold to a foreign museum, becoming an indelible disgrace for the country after its founding.
What frustrates her most is that she still can't use these treasures to call the police.
Once the matter is brought to light, everything will be lost. He Shan might even use this opportunity to escape punishment.
Li Hongdan could only intercept and preserve the items for now. As for where he might hide them later, she could only try to find out.
If Xie Ming knew her worries, he would definitely tell her, "Don't worry, you have Grandpa Pocket!"
"Sister! Where's my brother?"
Li Hongdan, who was standing by the roadside wondering what identity she should use to visit Xie Fang, was suddenly grabbed by a soft little hand.
"Oh, it's Tiantian. Which brother are you looking for?"
Actually, many five-year-old children in the village are quite sensible, but the Xie family's child is a bit special.
Perhaps because she has many older brothers and was spoiled since childhood, she is still quite clueless and naive, which is really funny.
"I want them both."
"Come on! I'll take you to find it!"
The little girl was a bit greedy, which amused Li Hongdan. She also knew the three brothers had gone to the He family, so she could take this opportunity to visit Xie Fang.
He family
Xie Fang poured out her grievances to her cousins inside the house, while He Shan promised that he would never beat his wife again.
Xie Ming knew this was just the beginning; domestic violence either happens zero times or countless times. He was just there to make up the numbers today, so he didn't care whether He Shan was serious or not.
While the group was still talking inside, Li Hongdan came over carrying Tiantian.
Xie Fang was already in a bad mood, and then she saw the person she least wanted to see arrive with someone she was jealous of. She immediately lost all interest in turning away and remaining silent.
Xie Jin and Xie Hou thought she was giving them a hard time, but they didn't care. Li Hongdan thought she felt embarrassed to face her because she had taken He Shan from her.
Only Xie Ming knew that it was Xie Fang's inherent flaws that were causing the problem.
The people inside, except for Tiantian who had come to see her brother, remained silent. The atmosphere was quite awkward, so they all left the He family's house together.
Xie Fang's eyes were red from venting her frustration. She admitted that she couldn't bear to see Li Hongdan living so comfortably.
Knowing that Xie Fang's life would not get any better, Xie Ming turned his attention to Xie Hou's "career".
Dongyang Village is in a special location. To get to the city from the old road, you have to cross two mountains to the neighboring county and then take a half-day bus ride to get to the city.
But if a tunnel is built and a bridge is constructed, it will only take 20 minutes to get to the city.
In the future, this will not be a difficult task at all; the country accomplished it in a very short time.
But that won't work now, we have no money! There's no economic value here, so why would the government undertake such a large project?
The soil in Dongyang Village and several nearby villages is unique and unsuitable for growing grain. Moreover, wild boars frequently rush down from the mountains, and the meager amount of grain can be destroyed if one is not careful.
Xie Ming figured that since they couldn't grow grain, they should try something else! Xie Hou was inexperienced and wanted to help his younger brother, so he could only take him along on his journeys up and down the mountain.
After much effort, Xie Ming finally found a way out.
Since this place will become the city's backyard, let's build a real garden here!
He had already decided to plant some roses first, since wild boars don't eat them, making it perfect for Dongyang Village.
Roses are not only highly ornamental, but they can also be used to make essential oils and perfumes; some varieties are even edible.
There are just too many related products!
Moreover, roses can be harvested in just over three months, so they can take advantage of the approaching winter to make a big push.
Xie Ming also looked around and found that Dongyang Village and several nearby villages were very suitable for growing flowers.
Then he will go out and look for a way out.
Xie Ming doesn't care what's going on outside; as long as it can generate foreign exchange, it's a key target for national protection.
With the imperial edict in hand, things will be much calmer here.
As for food! Forget about it. The crops grown in several villages can't even feed half the population here, and we still have to rely on government relief every year.
