Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

In the following days, the construction team arrived.

In Ye Chen's home, the original mud house was demolished and rebuilt.

The dozen or so people were working busily, creating the most spectacular scene in the village.

"Yesterday, Aunt Li brought over a chicken, saying it was one of her own. I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it."

"In addition, Grandpa Li came to visit yesterday. From what he said, it seemed that he wanted you to buy his yard so that he could move to the city, but I refused."

"Ye Chen, these people in the village are too materialistic. When we were down on our luck before, no one paid any attention to us when we talked to them. They all looked so arrogant."

"Now you know how to flatter people? No way! Ye Chen, I don't care about anything else, but when it comes to lending money, not a single penny."

Tian Xiaohui put her hands on her hips and lectured Ye Chen.

Ye Chen joked, "What if it's one of your relatives coming to borrow money?"

"Don't even mention relatives. Even if it were my own parents, if they came to borrow money, I would just say one word: No!" Tian Xiaohui said firmly.

Since marrying Ye Chen, Tian Xiaohui has never contacted her family again.

Back then, she had excellent grades and was a sure thing to get into university.

If it weren't for her parents'刁难 (difficulties) and forced marriage, Tian Xiaohui wouldn't be living under someone else's roof now.

As for Tian Xiaohui's relatives, they were all just watching the spectacle unfold.

Previously, when Ye Chen was disappointing, these people not only didn't help him, but also gossiped behind his back.

At this moment, mentioning such an ungrateful wretch made Tian Xiaohui furious.

I wish I could bite all those relatives to death!

"What kind of filial daughter is this? She doesn't even care about her parents! Sigh!"

Ye Chen shook his head dismissively, then got up, picked up his hunting rifle, and prepared to leave.

"What are you doing?" Tian Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped Ye Chen.

"Now that we have money, why are you still running off into the old forest?"

"I was just thinking of taking a stroll in the old forest and maybe hunting a wild deer. I've been free lately anyway. Didn't I promise you I'd go home and visit sometime? I should at least prepare a gift for my mother-in-law, right?" Ye Chen explained with a smile.

Tian Xiaohui stood there, completely stunned.

When Ye Chen said he was going home to visit, she took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously at all.

But seeing Ye Chen's serious attitude, Tian Xiaohui couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Her parents favored boys over girls and always emphasized that she should give way to her younger brother.

In order to support her younger brother, she was deprived of her right to go to school.

If we're talking about hatred, Tian Xiaohui truly hates her parents; otherwise, she wouldn't have never returned home after getting married.

But now, upon suddenly hearing Ye Chen mention it, her homesickness overwhelmed her uncontrollably.

Various thoughts kept popping into Tian Xiaohui's mind.

I've been away from home for three years. How are my parents doing?

How is your health?

Do you have any illnesses?

"Then...then go and come back soon!" After a long period of contemplation, Tian Xiaohui nodded in agreement with Ye Chen's statement.

Ultimately, he couldn't overcome his nature and decided to take this opportunity to go back and see his parents, and also settle his past grievances.

"You're all bark and no bite! Don't forget to prepare some of the silk you bought in town last time, and those nutritional supplements too. Take them home with you so people don't laugh at you."

Ye Chen saw through Tian Xiaohui's thoughts and gave her some advice.

After saying that, he calmly walked towards the old forest.

Along the way, every villager who saw Ye Chen tried to be friendly, and Ye Chen had unknowingly become the most unapproachable person in Shuangshu Village!

……

The weather was exceptionally good today, and Ye Chen was also quite lucky. After entering the old forest, he hadn't gone far when he encountered a lost wild deer.

Ye Chen landed a fatal blow and carried the deer carcass away.

"We'll have venison tonight; it'll be a treat for everyone."

"Keep half of the venison; we'll take it to Xiaohui's parents tomorrow!"

On the way back, Ye Chen pondered to himself.

But just as they reached the door, they heard a shrill voice coming from the courtyard.

"You little brat, you're so ungrateful! We're Ye Chen's cousins."

"Seriously speaking, we're family, and you're just an outsider. What right do you have to stop us from seeing Ye Chen?"

"Uncle, Aunt, I've already told you, it's not that I don't want you to see Ye Chen, it's just that he's really not here!"

"Stop arguing! So what if he's not here? We'll wait here! Hurry up and bring us a stool so we can rest our feet!"

"We've been through so much together, don't you even know what it means to respect the elderly and care for the young? No wonder Ye Chen wanted a divorce back then, you have no sense of propriety at all, you deserve it!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's face immediately darkened.

After searching my memory, I finally found the information about my so-called uncle and aunt.

The two lived in the next village. When Ye Chen's father died, the two of them traveled a long way to the village and took away a lot of furniture.

Since then, there has been no further news from them.

When Ye Chen was desperate, he sought out the two men, hoping to borrow some rice.

In the end, not only was he kicked out, but he was also severely scolded.

When I was down on my luck, they kicked me when I was down. Now that they know I'm rich, they still want to take advantage of me?

no way!

These two dare to bully their own wives! They're practically asking for death!

Ye Chen was furious and walked straight into the courtyard without saying a word.

Upon closer inspection, a man and a woman stood with their hands on their hips, pointing and gesturing at Tian Xiaohui.

Qian Jiali and Luo Ling went to the old house to supervise the construction, leaving Tian Xiaohui alone.

Ye Chen felt sorry for her seeing her looking so aggrieved.

"What are you two doing here? If I didn't know better, I'd think this was your home, and my wife and I were the guests."

Ye Chen suddenly spoke, his tone sarcastic.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's voice, his uncle and aunt immediately turned around, their previously sharp and sarcastic expressions turning into praise, their faces full of flattery.

"Hey, Ye Chen, you're finally back! I told you you were going to amount to something, and look, it's come true."

"Ye Chen, you must be tired carrying a deer on your back. Here, give the things to your uncle, and I'll help you carry them."

"No need, you two are of noble status, how could I dare to order you around?" Ye Chen took a step to the side, dodging his uncle's outstretched hand.

Then, he quietly walked to Tian Xiaohui's side.

"Xiaohui, if you ask me, you're still too soft-hearted. You're the lady of this house; how can you let outsiders bully you?"

"Next time I encounter someone barking like that, regardless of whether I'm around or who they are, I'll chase them away!"

"Our house may not have high barriers to entry, but it's not a place where just anyone can come and cause trouble!"

Ye Chen made a veiled attack, and as he spoke, he walked straight toward the kitchen.

From beginning to end, they completely ignored their uncle and aunt.

"Ye Chen, how can you say that? We're family, no matter what!"

"That's right, Ye Chen. As the saying goes, a loving family is a good family. We're just teaching your wife a lesson, there's no need to say that, is there?"
