Chapter 608 Rebirth
Finally, Wan Qiqi arranged for Zhu Youcai to be transferred from Yunhe County to Hefeng Town.
With Zhu Chengye in charge of Yunhe County, and Feng Gan busy entertaining guests at the restaurant, the loss of an accountant wouldn't be a big problem.
The whole family, plus Chen Yongliang, and Wu Gousheng, went back to Lianhua Village together.
No one in Lotus Village had ever been able to afford a horse-drawn carriage. When they saw the carriage awaken, they all peeked out and curiously discussed the newcomer.
"Whose relatives are visiting? And they're even traveling in a horse-drawn carriage!"
"Besides Chen Lizheng and Chen Yongnian's family at the village entrance, whose relatives in the village can afford to ride in a horse-drawn carriage?"
"Could it be that the eldest son of the Chen family and his wife have returned?"
“I don’t think so. I heard that the eldest son of the Chen family and his wife left their child in town and haven’t come back to see him for a month or two.”
"Tsk, this couple, once they have money and power, they don't even care about their own children anymore. They're so heartless!"
Wu Gousheng, riding Chen Yongnian's horse, quickened his pace upon hearing this.
The villagers who had been watching were startled by the charging horse and quickly scattered.
Aunt Dazhuang's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, covering her eyes and trembling.
Wu Gousheng reined in the reins and looked down at Aunt Dazhuang, noticing that the patch of ground where she was sitting was wet.
"Oh dear, Aunt Dazhuang, what's wrong with you? You're such a big girl, why are you wetting your pants?" Wu Gousheng burst into laughter.
The villagers who heard this also laughed.
Someone noticed that the man on horseback resembled Wu Gousheng, but his demeanor was different, and asked, "Are you the eldest son of the Wu family?"
“Aunt Youyi, I’ve only been gone a few months, and you don’t even recognize me?” Wu Gousheng jumped off his horse, a smile playing on his lips.
Aunt Youyi rubbed her eyes, walked around the man and the horse, and then realized that this really was Wu Gousheng, the village hoodlum from back then!
"You've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you," Aunt Youyi murmured, still finding it hard to believe.
Today, Wu Gousheng has long since shed his rural appearance. He stands upright, is dressed neatly, and exudes a spirited air, making him look like a young man from a wealthy peasant family.
Wu Gousheng was very happy to be looked at by these people.
In the past, he only attracted attention when he did bad things, and everyone wanted to strangle him; but now, people look at him with admiration.
A hateful gaze, tinged with envy, stood out from the crowd. Wu Gousheng was quickly drawn to the burly aunt on the ground.
"You, Wu Gousheng, you've really grown up since you followed Wan Qiqi! You rode your horse and charged at us, trying to commit violence in the street?" Aunt Dazhuang cursed, kicking at the dust to cover up the damp soil.
The more she acted this way, the more attention she attracted, and some people even whispered and laughed at her.
“Aunt Dazhuang, you’re scared, so why are you framing people?” Wu Gousheng seemed a little unhappy, and sighed with his head down. “That’s right, Aunt Dazhuang and Sister Qi don’t get along, so naturally she doesn’t like me either, and wants to drive me out of Lianhua Village as well.”
"Drive them out of Lianhua Village?" A villager nearby heard this and became anxious. "We're all from the same village. What do you mean by driving them out of Lianhua Village? If anyone should be driven out, it should be Aunt Dazhuang, not the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family."
If one person speaks, then a second person must speak.
A group of women talked about everything, down to the smallest detail, all criticizing Aunt Dazhuang.
Nowadays, everyone in the village knows that Chen Yongnian works in the county government, that Wan Qiqi's branch has opened in Yunhe County, and that Chen Yongliang will become Tao's son-in-law.
Those who knew all this were eager to cultivate a good relationship with the Chen family in order to gain some benefits for themselves.
Aunt Dazhuang got anxious and glared at Wu Gousheng.
She never said anything like that.
Aunt Dazhuang never said that; it was Wu Gousheng who made it up. He didn't expect that when Wan Qiqi came back, Aunt Dazhuang would start nagging again.
As Wan Qiqi's carriage drove over, it was immediately surrounded by the surrounding villagers.
Those who knew her welcomed her back to the village, while those who didn't might have thought she was about to cause trouble.
Wan Qiqi felt a headache just looking at the scene, and the two little ones were also scared and huddled together.
Chen Yongnian jumped off the carriage, carrying a basket of pre-prepared snacks.
"Folks, Qiqi has specially prepared some snacks from the restaurant for everyone to try. If you want some, come with me."
The villagers had also heard that the dim sum at Xinglong Restaurant was loved by many high-ranking officials and nobles.
Being able to eat the same kind of pastries as high-ranking officials and nobles, especially since they were made by the same person, is a source of great pride!
Soon, the people surrounding the carriage turned and walked towards Chen Yongnian.
Chen Yongliang reacted quickly, driving the carriage away as he muttered, "How come I never noticed how annoying they were before? They even surrounded us and wouldn't let us come back, what kind of logic is that..."
"You'll get used to it," Wan Qiqi said calmly.
Chen Yongliang's current reaction is exactly how she felt when she first arrived in this world.
These villagers are so gossipy!
The Chen family.
Chen Yongxing and his group had already heard the commotion at the village entrance and were wondering how to disperse the villagers when they saw the carriage approaching.
Chen Yongliang jumped off the carriage and hugged Chen Yongxing, exclaiming, "Second Brother!"
Chen Yongxing was also very happy. He patted Chen Yongliang on the back, but his eyes were fixed on the carriage.
Wan Qiqi lifted the carriage curtain and let Wu Gousheng carry the two little ones down before jumping down herself.
"Yongxing, where is Insect Girl?" Wan Qiqi asked.
“Take Siyu inside, Mom is in the kitchen boiling water and making tea,” Chen Yongxing replied, squatting down and clapping his hands. “Pingping, An’an, come here and let your second uncle hold you.”
Since having his daughter, Chen Yongxing has grown to love children more and more.
When the two little ones came over, he noticed that they had both grown quite a bit taller, and were fair-skinned and delicate, like children from wealthy families.
