Instead of going home, Song Hanyan took the potatoes and wandered into the mountains, turning left and right.
Soon they arrived at a wooden house.
"Master," Song Hanyan called out twice into the room.
"Oh dear, I'm here. Stop calling me." Zhou Chang, with his hair disheveled, was clearly woken up by being called. He came out while fastening his belt.
He walked to the table and drank a cup of the herbal tea that Song Hanyan had poured for him.
With blurry eyes, she asked, "Why did you come all this way so late?"
Song Hanyan took out a potato from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Zhou Chang glanced at the things on the table, then shifted his gaze to Song Hanyan's face.
"What's this?" he asked curiously. "A clod of dirt?"
But the clods of earth don't seem to be so round.
When I picked it up, I found it was quite heavy.
I pinched it, and water gushed out.
"Ouch!" he quickly wiped his hands on his clothes. "It's not poisonous, is it?"
Song Hanyan sighed, wondering when his master would finally calm down.
Zhou Ping'an walked out from inside the door. "My lord, what brings you here?"
Song Hanyan: "Ping An, take a look at this."
"Hey, don't take it."
His son had already taken it in his hands and was examining it closely. "Can this be eaten?"
As expected of Ping An, he can tell at a glance.
"Wait, this is edible!" Zhou Chang exclaimed in surprise.
"This was found on the mountain. It is not only edible, but also very filling. One plant can produce more than two fruits."
Zhou Chang held his breath, staring intently at the clod of dirt in his hand as if it were gold.
If this thing grows any bigger and is planted in the central government, the people will be saved.
Zhou Chang then looked at Song Hanyan: "You're married and you didn't even hire a tutor. What lucky girl is that?"
Song Hanyan smiled slightly: "She's from Taile Village, her name is Nanzhi, very good."
Seeing the smile on his face, Zhou Chang felt a pang of jealousy.
He's been teaching apprentices for so many years, how come I've never seen him smile at him like that before?
He smiled so gently when he mentioned his wife.
However, Zhou Chang still felt that the woman who was a good match for his apprentice should be a noblewoman from the capital, not a peasant woman from the countryside.
Zhou Chang sipped his tea: "I'll bring him over to meet me another day."
"yes."
The entrance to Taile Village is as lively as ever. The old ladies have sons and daughters-in-law to take care of at home, so they find their greatest joy in sitting at the village entrance and chatting with other old ladies.
After resolving the matter with Nanzhi, Granny Liu sat at the village entrance chatting with a group of old ladies.
"What can that Li woman do, no matter how tough she is? I still managed to keep her out." She was very smug.
"The Chen family's child fell into the water and was rescued with great difficulty. I heard that he was injured and his health may not be good in the future."
Everyone sighed.
Grandma Liu said, "If you ask me, that's retribution. Look at Chen Siyu, he's just a little kid, but he bullies other kids in the village all the time. If I had a grandson like that, I would beat him until he cried for his parents."
"You're just bragging. The Chen family has connections; even the village chief gives them some face. And you still dare to beat them up?"
Grandma Liu lowered her head and cracked sunflower seeds. She was just saying that in this world, the rich and powerful still have the final say.
"Quick, look!"
The old woman next to her nudged Granny Liu with her elbow.
"When did our village get such a handsome young man?"
Wow, it's true! Grandma Liu has decided that this young man will be the most handsome guy in their village from now on.
Let's see who dares to say that the men in their village are too ugly for anyone to want.
“Young man,” some of the old women said eagerly, “whose son are you?”
Song Hanyan turned his head and found that it was the old woman at the village entrance calling him.
He thought for a moment: "Nanzhi."
this······
The old women were dumbfounded. The girl from the Nan family was already married. What was going on?
Grandma Liu looked at it carefully, feeling like she'd seen it somewhere before. "What's your name?"
"Song Hanyan".
With just one sentence, he successfully won the hearts of the old women at the village entrance.
"Clatter." Some of the old women's canes fell to the ground and rolled a long way.
I never dreamed that a rough-looking guy would turn into a pretty boy.
"Hey, hey, hey, Song family, don't go!" Granny Liu called out to him.
“Well,” Granny Liu was still a little scared, “the Chen family came to our door today looking for your daughter-in-law, so be careful these days.”
Song Hanyan frowned slightly: "Thank you, Mother-in-law."
Oh my, Hunter Song actually said thank you.
The group of old women found it novel.
I've never seen it before.
Song Hanyan quickened his pace to get home and found Nanzhi tidying up the house.
Since Nanzhi came to our home, she has bought many things.
Now things are either broken or missing.
"Zhizhi, how are you?"
Nan Zhi was caught off guard when Song Hanyan grabbed her shoulder and spun her around twice, making her a little dizzy.
"I'm fine, it's just that my house was robbed," Nanzhi said with a wry smile.
Song Hanyan pulled Nanzhi into his arms, saying, "I will protect you."
Seeing his serious expression, Nanzhi opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
“Song Hanyan, Chen Siyu, and Liu Wancai were the ones I threw into the Taile River,” Nan Zhi said calmly.
Song Hanyan: "They must have provoked you, they deserve it."
She thought the other person would blame her, but to her surprise...
Nanzhi chuckled, her crescent-shaped eyes seeming to hold the stars.
“They knocked me unconscious and threw me into the Taile River. I just wanted them to experience my pain.”
It's hard to imagine how cold the frozen river is in the dead of winter.
Song Hanyan's expression was gloomy. "I'll go and kill them for you tomorrow."
He really is a rough and tough guy.
She wanted to help the original owner, but since she had personally bathed in the glacier, Nan Zhi had to return it.
Nan Zhi said seriously, "No need, they won't have an easy time in the future."
Just as Nan Zhi had predicted, the two were thrown into the river, but Liu Wancai was unharmed.
However, Chen Siyu was very weak because he did not exercise regularly. He suffered frostbite not long after being in the river. After being rescued, the doctor told him that his body had been damaged and he might not be able to perform normal functions in the future.
Mrs. Li sat by the bed and cried.
"Mom, stop wailing!"
Mrs. Li said, "My poor son, he was harmed by that slut at such a young age. We have money, so you just focus on getting better. I believe there will be a chance for him to recover."
Chen Siyu's face darkened. He vowed that once he recovered, he would make Nan Zhi pay the price.
Mrs. Li only had this one son, whom she cherished dearly. She was just waiting for that unfaithful man to hand over the family business to her son, but in the end, all her efforts were in vain.
“You can’t tell your father about this,” Li Fu’er solemnly instructed.
Chen Siyu said with a serious face, "Mother, don't worry."
Of course he knew what kind of person Chen Quan was. His father had made money and kept a concubine who had a son the same age as him.
As long as he's around, he'll get rid of these eyesores sooner or later.
A figure flashed past the doorway, but neither of them noticed.
Chen Yan came out clutching her chest. Her brother was crippled, and the culprit was none other than Nan Zhi.
How long is that bitch going to keep hurting them?!
Suddenly, Chen Yan had an idea.
