The village beauty and me!

Chen Huan found it hard to believe that the scene before him was real.

"Stop staring blankly, come inside and tell me what you've been up to all day?" Li Chunlan nudged Chen Huan lightly with her elbow, walking into the yard with a charming expression on her face.

Chen Huan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

They immediately showcased a variety of cosmetics and skincare products.

The table was piled high with food.

"My God, how come there are so many?"

"They all seem to be big brands, they must be really expensive." Zhao Liping's eyes widened as she carefully picked up the delicate little glass bottles.

Li Chunlan scolded them repeatedly, "We're both in the countryside every day, we rarely even leave the village, so a simple face wash is enough."

Why are you spending so much money unnecessarily?

Chen Huan frowned. "Sister-in-law, would you believe me if I said these things didn't cost any money and were gifts from others?"

"Just use it steadily. Even if you buy it, it won't cost much. Besides, we're not short of money right now."

Zhao Liping immediately took out the tens of thousands of yuan she had just received and placed it on the table.

"It's 60,000 yuan in total. Chunlan, you suffered a lot with me today but also helped me out. Chen Huan doesn't want this money, so let's split it 50/50."

After saying that, he pushed the 30,000 yuan in front of Li Chunlan.

"How can this be?" Li Chunlan began to refuse.

Just then, Chen Huan's phone rang, and he saw that the caller ID was Xiao Ying's.

As she walked outside, she answered the phone, "What's wrong? Has anything changed?"

Xiaoying asked in a coquettish tone, "Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"

Chen Huan coughed twice. "That's not what I meant. I was just afraid of delaying my sister's business."

Xiaoying snorted, "You little rascal, you're all talk and no action, but you always let us down when it matters."

Chen Huan became increasingly embarrassed. "I already said that I will definitely make it up to you in the future if I have the chance, double the amount."

Xiaoying acted coquettishly for a while, then got down to business, "I just got news that even though Ma Yanping went to the best hospital in Dongjiang City, he couldn't save his hands and feet."

"I guess you'll be confined to a wheelchair from now on. You're really ruthless."

"Is the feud truly over now?"

Chen Huan calmly replied, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. If you kill someone, you have to pay with your life. You don't need to worry about the rest, sister."

Xiaoying sighed, "I don't understand you men's affairs, but whatever you do, I'll support you. I just hope you'll be careful."

"I will inform you of any developments or changes concerning Ma Yanping and the Ma family."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. What are you going to do with the four million you left in my car?"

"Should I have someone deliver it to you, or should I find a way to get it into your account?"

Chen Huan slapped his forehead.

One thing after another happened today; I was busy non-stop.

I really forgot about that huge sum of money, several million.

"If it's convenient, I'd like you to keep it for me, sister. It's inconvenient for me to carry so much cash around."

"If the money is transferred to my account, it might cause some trouble."

"Ma Yanping suffered such a huge loss. Given his personality and the resources of the Ma family, he might soon find the right direction for the investigation."

Xiaoying readily agreed, "Okay, this is no big deal for me. Just give me a call whenever you want to take it back."

After exchanging a few words, Chen Huan ended the call.

He wanted to go back inside, but his gaze inadvertently swept over a corner of the wall, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"It was only planted this morning, and it's only noon now, how come it's already this tall?"

Chen Huan approached and looked at the few thriving seedlings by the base of the wall.

These are the seeds of wild fruits that he simply cultivated this morning by soaking fragments of the Golden Elixir in water.

Wild jujubes, wild strawberries, wild grapes, and things like cat's eye grapes.

At the time, I was just trying it out, but I never expected that in just a few hours, these seedlings would grow to be more than a foot tall.

At this rate, if cultivation continues, it could probably flower and bear fruit in just a few days.

It could even be faster.

Chen Huan immediately broke off a small piece of the golden pill and threw it into the watering can that was usually used to water the vegetables.

After the effects of the Golden Elixir dissipated, I watered the seedlings twice more.

At this time, Li Chunlan and Zhao Liping had already divided the money and were chatting and laughing intimately in the kitchen as they prepared to cook.

Judging from her demeanor, Li Chunlan clearly didn't care about the little secret between Zhao Liping and Chen Huan, which put Chen Huan completely at ease.

Then he excitedly envisioned his future happy life.

During the meal, Li Chunlan remained calm, but Zhao Liping seemed a bit off.

She became awkward and hesitant, occasionally avoiding Chen Huan's gaze and lowering her head, her face flushed.

Finally, while Li Chunlan went to get more rice, Chen Huan quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Liping raised her face and glared at him, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

Just as Chen Huan was becoming increasingly curious, Zhao Liping blushed and said again, "You'll find out tonight."

Looking at Zhao Liping's shy yet excited expression, and recalling the lively conversation the two had had in the kitchen earlier, one can sense the tension.

Chen Huan seemed to have grasped some key points.

At that moment, a message came through the mobile chat app.

I am the Queen. [Chen Huan, come to my house immediately, it's extremely urgent.]

Following this was a series of pitiful, pleading expressions seeking comfort, which inexplicably tugged at Chen Huan's heartstrings.

"What's going on? He just asked me for leave."

"Now she's inviting me to her house again?" Chen Huan wondered to herself.

My first thought was that this might be a trap.

After all, apart from Miss Zhao herself, the rest of Zhao Jingjing's family hate her to the bone and wish they could tear her to pieces and grind her bones to dust.

Despite his doubts, Chen Huan didn't hesitate at all. He got up, greeted Li Chunlan, and walked out.

When we arrived at the door, I thought about it for a moment, and finally got into the car.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Huan had already driven his pickup truck directly to the front of village chief Zhao Siming's gate.

They were extremely arrogant and honked their horn several times.

Soon after, a noise came from the courtyard.

Then the door opened, and Zhao Jingjing, swinging her long, white legs, rushed out in a hurry.

I don't know why my face turned bright red.

"What's wrong, Miss Zhao? Did you get into a fight with your father?" Chen Huan teased with a smile.

Zhao Jingjing rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense and get me out of here, and hurry up."

"So eager? Have you thought it through? Want to go to a hotel with me?" Chen Huan continued to joke nonchalantly.

Unexpectedly, another person rushed out of the courtyard at this moment.

He was quite fat and burly, and he pointed his chubby finger at Chen Huan in the car, cursing, "You bastard, take back what you just said, or I'll kill you!"
