Chapter 132

Xiao Yichen: “Xuanxuan, there’s nothing we can do. The people in power are fighting fiercely, everyone is looking out for their own interests, they don’t care about anyone else’s life or death.”

“Some even betray their mentors, report their own family members, and cut off ties for the sake of advancement. There are many people like that.”

“But Xuanxuan, you don’t have to worry. With our family’s background, even if we return to the capital city, no one will dare to bully you.”

Xia Yunxuan thought to herself, “I know the future, I’m not worried. The college entrance exam will be restored in a year or two, that’s when I’ll really shine.”

“For now, I’ll just lay low. I don’t want to be targeted and sent to a cowshed. It’s so easy to make money here, just farming tools. It’s not bad, is it?”

Gu Beihui: “Sister-in-law, how did you make this ‘target meat’? I’ve eaten several pieces and I still want more. It’s so soft and fragrant, every bite is delicious.”

Xia Yunxuan: “This target meat is simple. First, wash and cut the meat into strips of similar size. Then fry them in oil. After frying, put them in a clay pot with water and seasoning, and simmer for a few minutes. The meat will be ready.”

Xiao Yichen: “Xuanxuan, after dinner, go to our new house and take a look. It should be finished today. We can clean it up, it’ll be ready for our wedding in two days. I’ve also ordered the furniture.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Yichen, when did you order the furniture? You’re quick!”

Xiao Yichen: “I ordered it a few days ago. You don’t need to move your furniture over, I’ll buy new ones directly.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Alright, since you’ve already ordered it, I’ll listen to you. But won’t that be too high-profile? People will definitely be jealous and gossip.”

Xiao Yichen: “As long as they don’t say it to our faces, just treat it like a dog barking. The more you pay attention to them, the more they’ll get a kick out of it. What’s wrong with me buying furniture for my wife? If they’re jealous, they can buy their own. No one is stopping them.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Yichen, are you trying to make people die of anger? If those people hear this, they’ll be furious. Your mouth is getting sharper, but I like it.”

“I want to say, good job.”

After dinner, they took some old towels, a basin, and a broom to clean the new house. The people around them were envious when they saw that Xia Yunxuan could live in such a good house.

This was the best house in their village, spacious, bright, and even had tiled floors. Who wouldn’t want that?

This little Girl was lucky, ever since she cut ties with her family, good things kept happening to her.

First, she built such a good house, then she got the easiest job in the village. And then, she caught a human trafficker, and the government even rewarded her with a lot of money.

Now she was dressed well and could eat meat every day. With such good conditions, if she didn’t have a boyfriend, people would be lining up at her door. Who wouldn’t want to marry such a golden nugget?

Saying she was an unwanted wild child was just jealousy. Even if she suffered unfair treatment at home, they wouldn’t dare to confront their grandparents or fathers.

The people who were most unhappy about Xia Yunxuan’s good fortune were the educated youths, the Xia family, and the Li sisters. The better Xia Yunxuan did, the worse they felt, the contrast was too obvious.

Especially Li Wenxi, she was getting married to Chen Zexuan tomorrow, but he wouldn’t pay to build a house. He would only give a few yuan to build a thatched hut. Now she regretted rushing into marriage.

They were all educated youths, and they were all getting married. Why could Xia Yunxuan, that little vixen, have such a spacious new house? She heard that he bought a lot of new furniture, and even tiled the floor, built a well, everything! And she didn’t even have a thatched hut. How could she not be angry?

Why were they both women, yet she lived like this? Why?

Some people are just like that, they have no ability, but they love to compare themselves to others, and they love to make trouble. They can only blame themselves for their own misfortune.

After half an hour, the three of them finally finished cleaning the room, which looked even cleaner and brighter.

Xiao Yichen: “Xuanxuan, this is the best we can do in the countryside. I’m sorry if it’s not good enough for you. When we return to the city, I’ll buy you a small villa.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Yichen, as long as you’re good to me, I won’t feel wronged. No matter how good the house is, we can only live in one room. And compared to other houses in the countryside, ours is already the best. Look at whose house has tiled floors.”

Xia Yunxuan whispered, “Yichen, we should keep a low profile for the next two years, to avoid making people jealous.”

Xiao Yichen: “Xuanxuan, I’ll listen to you. You’re the boss of our family.” His eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at Xia Yunxuan. This must be what it feels like to love someone deeply.

Xia Yunxuan: “Alright, Yichen, let’s go home and rest. You have to go to work. I’ve made some iced milk tea and put some fruit in the well. Have some before you go to work.”

Gu Beihui: “Really, Sister-in-law? I’ll definitely have a few cups. Your milk tea is delicious, sweet and fragrant.”

They returned home, and Xiao Yichen took out the iced milk tea and fruit from the well. They had afternoon tea.

Drinking milk tea and eating watermelon, grapes, and red apples, who wouldn’t envy them.

Gu Beihui was curious where his sister-in-law bought so much fruit, he had never seen it before. He was about to ask, but his boss gave him a death stare.

Even if he was stupid, he could guess that his sister-in-law had a secret. He was just curious how she got it. Their family never ran out of rice, flour, meat, or eggs, but why couldn’t others buy it, yet his sister-in-law always had so much in demand stuff?

Other people bought meat in half a pound, only the more generous ones would buy a pound. His sister-in-law always bought a whole chunk.

And she was generous with the oil when she cooked. Unlike others who only used a little bit of oil, just enough for the chopsticks to touch, making the food taste like boiled water.

He knew that everyone had secrets, and he shouldn’t ask, but he couldn’t help but be curious.

They finished their snacks and the work bell rang. They grabbed their straw hats, water bottles, and headed to the fields.

When they arrived at the fields, they heard those gossipy aunts asking Xia Muqing how many dishes she was preparing for her daughter’s wedding tomorrow. How many meat dishes were there, and was the dowry from the groom’s family really only 10 yuan?

Xia Muqing was furious when she heard this. She had no good face, and she immediately shouted at those gloating people, “Just shut your mouths!”
