Chapter 530 Relaxing and Pleasant Times
Night fell, and a cool breeze blew.
Lianhua Village is surrounded by mountains, and it gets a bit chilly at night.
Wan Qiqi sat on the wall, staring at the dim sky, seemingly lost in thought.
Chen Yongxing walked over and sat down beside her.
Looking at his sister-in-law, he felt increasingly confused.
Even though the person was right beside him, he felt as if the other person was shrouded in a fog, making him unable to see clearly.
"Sister-in-law, why did you get Chen Lizheng drunk today?" Chen Yongxing asked.
Wan Qiqi's astigmatic eyes gradually brightened, and she sighed softly, saying, "I want to confirm some of my guesses."
"So... have you figured it out?" Chen Yongxing asked.
"More or less!" Wan Qiqi was also a little confused.
She sensed that someone in the village was connected to Tang Qiwen, but she couldn't be sure who it was.
Chen Lizheng was someone she had suspected, but what he said while drunk today proved that her guess was wrong.
Everything is moving in a positive direction now, but the only thing that worries her is Tang Qiwen.
She couldn't eliminate this trouble without finding any evidence against Tang Qiwen.
Most importantly, the other party is now involved with the state, which is a step above what she's currently dealing with, and that's what's bothering her.
However, no matter what happens next, she will not give the other party a chance to turn things around like she did before.
Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
Chen Yongxing noticed a hint of ruthlessness in Wan Qiqi's eyes, a change from her previous gentleness, which surprised him.
He didn't understand. It had only been twenty-odd days since his sister-in-law last came back, so why did she seem so different?
"Sister-in-law, how's the girls' school going? Are you still going to insist?" Chen Yongxing asked.
He hadn't been paying attention to things in town these past few days and didn't know that the school issue had been resolved.
"It's all settled now. Next, I'm planning to open a branch restaurant in Yunhe County." Wan Qiqi patted Chen Yongxing on the shoulder and said, "Are you really sure about staying in the village and not going out?"
"My wife and mother are both in the village, and there are so many vegetable gardens. If I go out, who will take care of these things?"
Chen Yongxing had also thought about going out and learning to do business, just like Chen Yongliang.
But after careful consideration, he decided to stay.
The outside world is wonderful, but he wants to stay on the land where he grew up and develop it well.
“That’s easy. If you want to go out, I can find someone to handle these things. Isn’t there Chen Lizheng? I think Sanyuan can do it well,” Wan Qiqi said with a smile.
"I... Sister-in-law, do you want to hand over the village affairs to him?" Chen Yongxing asked, somewhat disappointed, seemingly very dissatisfied with the outcome.
Seeing his expression, Wan Qiqi suddenly laughed and said, "Don't overthink it. With you here, why would I need to ask someone else to do these things?"
Her goal is to develop the village into a vegetable growing base, which naturally requires a trustworthy person to manage it.
In her view, family members are the most reliable and trustworthy.
Of course, this is based on the premise that she thinks the person is reliable; not every relative is like that.
Chen Yongxing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then asked, "Sister-in-law, most of the vegetables in the wasteland are growing quite well. Many have flowered and are growing very lushly. They should be ready to eat soon!"
"When the results are in, you must tell me, I'd like to see them too."
Wan Qiqi wanted to see the glory she had created and what the results of her planting would be.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
She will eventually overcome all difficulties, stand at the top of the thorny path, and look down at the road she has traveled.
As night fell, the chirping of insects filled the air.
Lotus Village fell into a deep sleep.
Then, with the sound of birdsong, the village gradually came back to life.
Wang Zhi didn't have the habit of oversleeping. He got up early, carried a basket on his back, and headed down the mountain with a sickle.
When the villagers saw this, they couldn't help but ask, "Chen Wangshi, your eldest daughter-in-law brought back so many good things, why are you still going up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables?"
Wang Zhi stopped and replied with a smile, "I'm going to cut some grass to feed the fish and dig up some wild vegetables. I just love this."
After she finished speaking, she carried her basket up the mountain.
The person who had just spoken to her showed a look of disgust and said to the person next to him, "This woman is such a show-off! She's just showing off to us that she has a daughter-in-law who makes money."
“I think Aunt Wang isn’t faking it; she does it every day.”
“There are people in the family who earn money, and her son works in the county government, so there’s no need for her to do these things. Some people are just destined to work hard.”
"Some people want to enjoy a life of luxury, but they don't even deserve it!"
A rather hoarse voice came over, interrupting the woman's discussion.
Looking again, it turned out to be Old Mrs. Chen!
“You all just criticize my daughter-in-law. She’s capable and makes money, and you’re all jealous, so you’re saying these sarcastic things.”
Old Mrs. Chen said sternly, hands on her hips, appearing as mean as could be.
“That’s your daughter-in-law’s daughter-in-law, she has nothing to do with you, old lady!” a villager retorted.
"Whether it's related or not isn't up to you to decide. My granddaughter-in-law brought me a big piece of meat when she came back yesterday. You don't get that kind of treatment," said Old Mrs. Chen with a proud look.
The person's face darkened upon hearing this, and they no longer wanted to argue with him.
Wan Qiqi got out of bed when the sun was already up on the hillside, and leisurely got up to wash and get ready.
No need to take care of children, no need to go to restaurants, and no one to look after you—life couldn't be more comfortable and carefree.
Apart from the courtyard being a bit dilapidated and the facilities being somewhat outdated, life doesn't seem too bad.
If this kind of life continues, even the most diligent person will become lazy.
Wan Qiqi allows herself to do this once or twice, but not often, because she doesn't want to ruin herself like this.
