"Alright, alright, let's get to the point. Old Man Wen has been rehabilitated and is returning to the capital. What is that place? It's the chairman's office, the center of the country, the most important place."
The village chief was laying the foundation while watching the reactions of the villagers below. Seeing everyone's surprise, he suddenly felt very proud. This person came from their Xiashan Village. Over the years, their Xiashan Village has given Old Man Wen a lot of protection.
"We are collectively doing this for him today and wish him all the best in his future life."
Holding his glass high, the village chief was the first to lead the toast. The atmosphere immediately heated up, and people around him immediately started walking around holding bottles of wine.
"Wen Maidong...I have something to tell you."
In the other corner, the uninvited educated youth watched Chen Hong shyly walk to Wen Maidong, and they felt mixed emotions as they talked.
"Humph...some people are really shameless enough. However, in my opinion, they are just putting their skin in front of others for them to step on."
Wen Maidong and her family were about to return to the capital, where they were looked down upon. Even if they were educated youth, what good was that? Educated youth were becoming increasingly worthless, and their hopes of returning to the city were slim. Like their elder brothers and sisters before them, they would remain rooted in the countryside, unable to return to the city.
"Yeah! They just look down on us and ask for humiliation."
"They are now city dwellers, what are we?"
The village girls who had been with him for so long hadn't been able to take down Wen Maidong, so what good would they do if they went forward? It would be better to just eat and drink and fill their stomachs.
"Enjoy the wine, enjoy the wine. This wine is really good. Although it doesn't have much alcohol content, it still has a bit of alcoholic flavor."
"Well, I heard it can beautify the face and improve health, and it has some pretty good effects."
However, we can only take advantage of this opportunity to satisfy ourselves. We don't know when the next time will come. It is only in recent years that the harvest has been good and there have been no major disasters. Otherwise, how could we produce so many good things at once?
"Comrade Shen Hong, you and I have no friendship at all. I don't think there is anything to talk about between us."
Wen Maidong frowned, irritated at the young woman before him who had no idea how to read people's expressions. This was the first time he'd been pestered by someone like this, and he felt completely daunted. He didn't understand how she had the nerve to speak like this to him. Did she really think she was a fairy?
"How could that be? Didn't you help me fetch water some time ago?"
"Carrying water? I just remember seeing you twisted your ankle and it was inconvenient for you to carry water for a while."
It was a simple favor, and he'd help anyone he saw. He just didn't know why this girl was so arrogant, throwing dirty water on him. No matter what, he couldn't possibly have the wrong eyes to fall for someone like that. The thought of living with her in the future was terrifying.
"Why? Are you abandoning me just because I'm going back to the capital?"
"There was no beginning between us, so how can you say you abandoned me?"
Wen Maidong's tone was stiff. He didn't understand why he kept talking to this girl about something that hadn't even happened. What was it about her that made him interested? What was so special about her? None of that. He was so confident and shameless.
"You unfaithful man, I'm going to tell everyone what happened between us."
Chen Hong's face suddenly changed, and she steeled herself, determined to accept the reality of the situation. She didn't want to stay in the village any longer; there was no hope of returning to the city. The only path left for her was to join the Wen family and head to the capital.
"Humph... You're really shameless. Do you think anyone will believe you if you say that?"
Wen Maidong didn't think anyone would believe him. The villagers all knew him. A trick like this might fool others, but it definitely wouldn't fool the villagers. This woman was too naive and bold. This kind of thing was not good for either man or woman. It was okay for men, but not for women.
"Ophiopogon japonicus... here, here..."
"Wen Maidong... come here quickly, let's drink."
Shen Feng and Shen Yu noticed the exchange, looked at each other, raised their brows and shouted loudly.
"Here it comes..."
Wen Maidong waved his hand and walked away without even a glance. The best way to deal with this kind of person was to ignore him. Wen Maidong secretly made plans in his mind, and decided to deal with him properly later.
"Why, you're being entangled? Congratulations?"
Shen Feng punched Wen Maidong, then looked at his brother happily, raising his eyebrows: "Well, I guessed right!"
"I didn't expect you to be so popular."
Chen Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes. She hadn't expected Wen Maidong to be the most popular among them. Look, he had already sent away countless female comrades who had come to confess their love. It was a pity that Wen Maidong was so stupid that he didn't even react at all.
"Oh... forget it. I don't know if that young woman is mentally ill or just has some issues. She wants to throw mud at me."
"Ah... no way! You've provoked a rotten peach blossom."
Immediately, both of them looked at Wen Maidong with sympathy. They had experienced and witnessed the power of bad love affairs. They might have looked down on women in the past, but now, the three of them really didn't dare to underestimate women. Even if it was a humble woman, you didn't know what she was thinking or what she would do.
"I don't know what to say." Wen Maidong drank a bowl of fruit wine and said with a terrible headache.
"Okay, we're going to the capital anyway, why bother with all this?"
Patting Wen Maidong on the shoulder, he said, "The emperor is far away, and he won't come back anyway. Let these people daydream, it's impossible for their dreams to come true anyway."
"Yeah! Yeah! Don't worry about those people. They just want to take shortcuts and get ahead overnight."
"I'm going back to the capital soon, don't forget you guys."
"Of course, don't worry! I'll show you the house."
The three brothers, Shen Feng, had accumulated considerable funds and a small treasury from their activities in the black market over the years, and they were ready to move to the capital. They had already agreed on a house, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, this would be the first thing he needed to do.
"I want a courtyard house."
"I know. Don't worry! I will definitely find something like this for you."
Wen Maidong rolled his eyes, knowing that this group of brotherly lovers would have this request.
"Well, if the money is not enough, just write to me." Chen Feng didn't want Wen Maidong to advance the payment for his house, even though they paid enough.
"I know, don't worry! You definitely have enough money. Besides, Niuniu also gave me some extra money."
"Um."
The three of them didn't say anything else, they just ate the banquet and drank the fruit wine.
