Chapter 25 Young Master Wan’s First Visit to Orchid Village

Shen Nian, her father and second uncle arrived safely at the city gate. Old Liu was indeed waiting there. As soon as he saw Shen Nian, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

“Nian, are you tired from a day of sightseeing?”

“Not tired! It’s Father and Second Uncle who are tired. They carried all the things, and they carried me on the way.”

“They are adults, it’s their duty to carry you. You are still young, your little feet will hurt if you walk too much. You need to take good care of them.”

Old Liu said as he lifted Nian onto the oxcart. At this time, several people ran over from a distance. Two were from Liu Family Village, and the rest were villagers from nearby villages. The oxcart would pass through their villages on the way back.

When everyone was seated, Old Liu cracked his whip and drove the oxcart slowly forward.

When they entered Orchid Village, it was already dusk. Shen Nian looked up and saw her grandparents standing at the entrance of the village.

The two elders were carrying hoes, as if they had just returned from the fields.

“Grandpa, Grandma!” Shen Nian waved her hand and ran towards the two elders.

Seeing their beloved granddaughter back, the two elders smiled, their faces shining brightly in the twilight.

“Nian is back!”

Old Lady Shen threw the hoe to Old Man Shen and reached out to hug her little granddaughter who was rushing towards her, saying dotingly: “Did you have fun in the city?”

Shen Nian replied: “It was fun, I even made a good friend.”

Old Man Shen was curious: “Oh! You made a friend after only one day out, who is it?”

Shen Nian said with a smile: “His name is Wan Baocai.”

Old Man Shen frowned: “This name sounds familiar.”

Shen Dong and Shen Nan wiped their sweat. Shen Dong whispered a few words in Old Man Shen’s ear. Old Man Shen’s face immediately changed. He glared at Shen Dong and the two: “You two… go back and explain yourselves clearly!”

The first time they took Nian to the city, something happened. They were really capable!

The villagers had all finished their work and were returning home. Seeing Shen Nian back, they teased her a few words. Shen Nian chatted with them tirelessly.

It was unclear whether the adults were teasing the child or the child was fooling the adults.

When they reached the front door, they saw Shen Feng and Uncle Zhao sitting on the doorstep. As soon as they saw them, they excitedly ran over.

“Nian, you’re back! You must be tired after being out for a day! I’ll walk with you.” Shen Feng reached out and took Shen Nian’s hand.

“I want to walk with Nian too.” Uncle Zhao bent down and took Shen Nian’s hand: “I made a lot of dishes for Nian to eat. Nian, you have to praise me a lot later.”

Since he had been the chef at Zhang’s wedding banquet, Uncle Zhao had taken on the responsibility of cooking for the Shen family’s eldest branch. No one could deprive him of the joy of cooking.

Shen Nian praised Uncle Zhao a few times: “Uncle Zhao is so good! Thank you, Uncle Zhao! Uncle Zhao is amazing!”

Uncle Zhao immediately laughed like a fool.

Before dinner, while washing their hands, Old Man Shen called Shen Dong aside to get to the bottom of the Wan Baocai matter.

Learning that his beloved granddaughter had almost been bought forcibly, Old Man Shen was furious. But thinking that Wan Baocai was coming tomorrow, he snorted: “Will that kid really come?”

Shen Dong said: “He probably won’t. It’s a long way to get here, and you can’t take a carriage. That kid is pampered, how could he endure such hardship?”

Old Man Shen snorted: “If he dares to come, I’ll let him experience what it’s like to live a farmer’s life.”

At dinner, Shen Nian ate the dishes and couldn’t help but praise Uncle Zhao a few times.

Uncle Zhao’s cooking was really delicious.

Her mouth had been spoiled by Uncle Zhao!

She would have to have a good cooking competition with Uncle Zhao sometime. She would take out those modern recipes from her space and study them, open a big restaurant and make a lot of money.

After dinner, Shen Nan told Wei Shi and the others about what she had seen and heard in the city. As they talked, they talked about Wan Baocai.

Shen Feng asked: “Who is Wan Baocai?”

Shen Nan said: “He’s a spoiled brat. Ninth Brother, when he comes to our house to visit, let’s teach him how to be a good person!”

Shen Feng smiled: “Okay.”

Although he didn’t know what was going on, the person who could be treated so well by Nian must be a very annoying and offensive jerk!

That night, Shen Nian and Shen Feng slept in the room with the two elders.

As soon as Shen Dong entered the room, he told Wei Shi about Wan Baocai. Wei Shi’s face was not good: “Next time you take Nian out, put some makeup on her first. Our daughter is too attractive!”

It was like this when she was little, and it will be even worse when she grows up.

This time it was a spoiled little brat, next time who knows what kind of disgusting person she might encounter. Not everyone is as easy to fool as Wan Baocai.

Meanwhile, Old Man Shen also told Old Lady Shen about Wan Baocai. Old Lady Shen also said: “It’s all our fault for not being able to protect Nian. Next time we take her out, we’ll disguise her first.”

Old Man Shen felt very guilty. He hoped his granddaughter would be excellent, but he was also afraid that she would be too perfect.

The world is too chaotic.

After the two elders went to sleep, Shen Feng opened his eyes. A flash of ferocity appeared in his eyes.

He had heard everything the two elders said. It turned out that Nian had encountered this kind of thing in the city.

He looked at Shen Nian, who was sleeping soundly in Old Lady Shen’s arms, and reached out to gently touch her little face: “I will work hard to become stronger and protect you!”

He got up and quietly climbed out of the window.

Shen Nian opened her eyes and yawned at the window.

“Stinky boy… I don’t need your protection!”

Wan Baocai came the next day!

He was carried into Orchid Village in a sedan chair with two guards.

He was originally riding in a carriage, but halfway there he asked someone and learned that Orchid Village was so poor that it didn’t even have a good road, so he had people buy a sedan chair.

Orchid Village rarely had outsiders coming, let alone someone riding in a delicate little sedan chair.

The person must be a big shot!

Many people looked curiously.

Wan Baocai had the guards stop and ask for directions.

When they learned that the big shot was looking for Shen Nian, the villagers were surprised, but they also became more vigilant: “What are you looking for Nian for?”

The guard said: “Our young master is Miss Nian’s friend.”

“Friend?” The villagers were even more puzzled. They hadn’t heard Nian mention having such a friend.

Wan Baocai was nice to Shen Nian, but not to others. He had a real young master’s temper. He pulled open the curtain of the sedan chair and shouted: “Why are you so slow asking for directions? What’s going on?”

He pointed at the villager who was being asked: “You, quickly tell this young master where Shen Nian’s house is.”

He had been on the road for so long, he was almost exhausted!

Zhao Dehai hated this kind of fat, ugly, and rude stinky boy the most. How could someone with this tone and attitude be Nian’s friend? He was probably jealous of Nian’s intelligence and cuteness and was looking for trouble. He said coldly: “I don’t know, go find it yourself.”

He winked at a young man, who immediately turned around and quietly ran towards the Shen family.

Shen Nian was about to go to the fields with the adults, Uncle, and her brothers to work and clear the land. She had just stepped out of the courtyard when she saw Little boy running over in a hurry.

“It’s not good! A rich stinky boy came to the village looking for trouble with Nian. He lied to us, saying he was Nian’s friend, but he was very fierce. He was fat and had two guards with murderous looks on their faces. He doesn’t look like a good person. Uncle Dong, quickly hide Nian.”
