Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

Chen Jianji's voice echoed through the mountains and forests.

A black Jialing motorcycle, belching exhaust fumes, disappeared around the corner not far away.

Chen Jianji slowly lowered his hand.

The weight that had been pressing on my heart seemed to have been quietly lifted.

His eyes flickered, and his gaze lingered on the corner of the mountain path for a long time.

The bond between father-in-law and son-in-law from a past life has come to this.

Also good.

Let bygones be bygones, may we all be well.

I just hope...

"You brat, everyone's gone, what are you still looking at?!"

Before Chen Jianji could continue his reflections...

Then came Chen Guochang's deep voice from the side.

He was about to turn around and speak.

But in that very instant...

Chen Jianji felt a sudden tightness in his ears.

"You've really gotten bold, haven't you? Why don't you just send all the stuff in your house away? I prepared two days' worth of fancy dishes, and I sent them all out to you."

"Mom, it hurts!! Let go, let go!"

"Now you know it hurts? I told you to eat, but you wouldn't. You just keep causing me trouble. Is this something your child would do?"

As Wang Suling spoke, she released her grip.

But the other hand rose up and poked Chen Jianji's forehead, chuckling and cursing under its breath.

"You've given them all, but what about the uncles and elders in the village? Where is Mom going to get so many vegetables?"

Chen Jianji rubbed his ears and laughed.

"Oh my god, we know all these uncles and aunties very well. Make more tomorrow, and I'll use my savings to buy groceries for you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Guochang, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but look up and pat him on the head.

"You brat, you can keep that money for your own spending. Hurry up and come inside to eat. We'll eat in the yard with your Uncle Zhang and the others. We'll be inside in a bit."

"oh!"

Chen Jianji then turned around and stepped into the courtyard.

Zhang Jianjun was already serving the workers their meal when he saw him come in, and he jokingly greeted him with a smile.

"Jianji, when you went to see that couple off just now, your dad's eyes were practically blazing with anger."

"I overheard him muttering something, saying that it was like the person who did the job was your dad, talking so familiarly, even knowing that the streetlight was broken when the person came home, and his actions were so natural."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Jianji's expression froze for a moment, then he scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

"I've met my classmate's parents, but I've been too embarrassed to acknowledge them in front of them. Uncle Zhang, please don't laugh at me."

"Oh, I see."

"Yeah, well, Uncle Zhang, you eat first. My parents will be here soon. I'll go inside and eat something by myself."

"Alright, you little kids can eat whatever you want, don't worry about us adults."

"good!"

Chen Jianji hurriedly ran into the house and closed the door without looking back.

He was completely cut off from those two piercing gazes that had been watching him intently, like thorns in his back.

...

"Guochang, do you think that couple is...?"

Seeing the closed door, Wang Suling couldn't help but tug at Chen Guochang's hand and ask in a low voice.

"Hmm... I think so too."

The two exchanged a glance and nodded as if they had just realized something.

Chen Guochang couldn't help but laugh and scold, "This kid, he's like this when he meets other people's parents at home."

"He might have made our family lose face at school."

Upon hearing this...

Wang Suling rolled her eyes at him.

"Your son almost failed to get into a junior college, but a top student from Tsinghua University was willing to tutor him, and now he can get into a very good junior college. You should be secretly happy."

"If it could help my son improve his grades and get into university, I would gladly send him a whole bunch of pigs, cattle and sheep, let alone just these vegetables."

Chen Guochang waved his hand, chuckled, and took out a cigarette from his pocket, about to light it.

"Tutoring is too much trouble, let's just bring them back..."

"Hiss! Ouch...no...no...no!"

Chen Guochang covered the hand that was twisting his ear.

Wang Suling glared at him, but instead of loosening her grip, she twisted it even tighter.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your son is only a senior in high school. You, as his father, are never upright."

Chen Guochang grimaced in pain, trying to distract himself.

"Su-ling...I lost my cigarette pack, it's brand new!"

"It's good that he quit! You were teaching your son to smoke last week! You've made him quit too!"

"No, isn't that all in the past? Why are you bringing it up again?"

"Hey, wait a minute, let's go in and sound him out, okay? If he's... you know, I'll give him a good talking to!"

"Oh...that's not necessary..."

...

The two were arguing at the entrance of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Zhang Jianjun smiled at the workers.

"Old Chen and his wife have a really good relationship."

"Let's eat a couple of bites and then go home. It's rare for the kids to come back, so let's not disturb their family's happiness."

Everyone agreed.

"Okay, I'll be full after eating a little more! My kid's back too, I need to go back and check on him."

"Haha, you guys have finally made it! My kid hasn't even started school yet; he's just learning to walk and talk."

"Hey, you all have kids, but I don't. Wow, this stew is really good! Eat more."

...

inside the house.

Chen Jianji kept picking at his food, eating large mouthfuls of rice.

He ignored the three pairs of eyes that were directed at him.

"Here, this is a genuine free-range chicken. You can't get this kind of thing in the city."

Chen Jianji also casually picked up a chicken leg and put it into Zhang Xinyi's bowl.

"snort!"

Zhang Xinyi snorted coldly.

"You asked me to get a bag, but I took it and then didn't want it anymore. I don't want anything you put in my bag either!"

"Well..."

Unable to resolve the issue, Chen Jianji decided to ignore her for the time being.

He turned his head to look at Wang Suling.

The latter said slowly.

"I just bought a thermal container and you used it all. It's one thing if you don't come home usually, but when you do, you always nag me to prepare food. Today, you don't even care about me being your mother."

"Well..."

Chen Jianji shifted his gaze again, landing on Chen Guochang.

He blinked.

The meaning is obvious.

"Dad, I haven't offended you, have I? Aren't you going to put in a good word for me?"

"Oh, this."

Chen Guochang understood.

"Su-ling, the children are all back, and Xin-yi is here too. She's happy today. Go and get out the osmanthus wine that I've been saving."

As he spoke, he added a sentence.

"I'll have a little, but the children won't."

Wang Suling glanced at him.

I know him well; he always makes a fuss before asking about things like children, like drinking alcohol.

"Okay, I'll go get it for you."

"Uh...uh?!"

Chen Jianji suddenly stood up.

"Mom and Dad, why are you setting up a chicken coop on Uncle Zhang's land down the mountain today?"

Wang Suling stopped in her tracks, and Chen Guochang also looked at him.

"Oh, didn't you tell me last time you came back that although your mom and I signed contracts with the company, we could say you were selling prostitutes or something?"

"Actually, there's no need to go to restaurants or anything like that. Our village has always wanted me to help raise a batch of chickens to supply the village."

"Look, the village chief's family is getting married at the end of the year. They've already registered their marriage and are just waiting for the banquet. They asked me to prepare eighty chickens. Also, so-and-so's wife is six months pregnant and they'll be waiting for her to give birth."

"There's quite a bit of all this stuff, so we might as well just build a simple chicken coop."

"I see..."

Chen Jianji pondered carefully. In his previous life, after his parents came to their senses, their first batch of customers did indeed start from their own village.

Later, because of its good quality and strong chicken flavor, the word gradually spread, and people from neighboring villages and towns often came to the chicken farm to buy chickens.

"Then you should take samples of each batch you raise regularly for inspection, just in case, so that you won't have any trouble explaining yourself if something goes wrong."

"Hey kid, I've been with your mother for so many years, do you think I don't know?"

Chen Guochang burst into laughter.

The kids don't smoke here, but they crave alcohol.

He turned to look at Wang Suling and urged her again.

"Su-Ling, go get it. I need to talk to Jian-Ji."

"it is good."

"mom!"

Chen Jianji raised his hand to stop him again, and even stood up.

"Hey you, what's wrong with you...?"

Chen Guochang was immediately displeased, but he looked at the awkward expression on his son's face.

His heart skipped a beat.

"You wouldn't...!"

Swish!

Chen Guochang suddenly stood up and quickly ran to the depths of the house, to a corner where there was no water mill, to the bottom layer sealed in mud.

He lifted the cover and his eyes widened in shock!

It's empty inside!

"Chan Kin-kei!!"

Chen Guochang's roar echoed throughout the bungalow.

"You gave away my wine too?!"

"Don't you dare run away, or I'll beat you up!"
