Peach Garden

  Standing at the last step of the mountain road, looking down at the beautiful valley unfolding like a painting scroll in front of her, Mei was stunned. She turned her head to look at Third Uncle in shock and said, "Third Uncle, you deceived me."

  All that can be seen are lush green fields and winding paths, streams flowing like silk ribbons, villages hidden among the dense trees and flowers are all two-story small villas, with small bridges and pavilions in the courtyards.

  All the way here, they had thought that San Shu Gong was a farmer. The economic situation of farmers in small towns like Qingyan with inconvenient transportation would not be very good, so Mianmian actually felt a little sympathy for San Shu Gong's grandson in her heart. But what she saw before her eyes was clearly a paradise on earth.

  When they arrived at San Shu Gong's mansion, Mochen became even more indignant and said, "San Shu Gong, you really are deceiving me!"

  Third Uncle spoke all the way, describing the situation at home, saying that his son and daughter-in-law were working abroad, he himself was picking up some mountain goods on the mountain... making it really like a simple farmer, but the result of what Mochou saw in front of her eyes was an old-fashioned three-entry mansion!

  Third Uncle's face turned a bit red, and he scratched the back of his head, "Mazi, these are all family heirlooms, not worth much. We're not in Beijing, can't sell them for the price of those siheyuan houses in Beijing."

  Meng Cicada felt a bit indignant, "......it seems that even if the child can't get into college, Third Uncle, you can still spend money to send him somewhere, right?"

  She thought that kid was going to change his fate by taking the college entrance exam, and she also thought of herself as a Bodhisattva sister who saves the world. As a result, it's like a donkey's lips not matching a horse's mouth!

  "......But he won't go. He insists that if it's not his own achievement, he won't go anywhere. His parents even arranged for him to study abroad, but he refused."

  In her heart, Meng Xiang had already figured it out: whoever lived in this beautiful mountain village, owning such a magnificent mansion comparable to the emperor's palace, would not care about attending university or sleeping on the rooftop.

  This kid can't get into college, it seems that not only is he used to being pampered by his parents, but also spoiled by the environment! To make him work hard, it looks like she still has a long and difficult road ahead of her.

  "Village head, is there someone at home?"

  There were villagers carrying hoes walking by and greeting Third Uncle. Only then did Meng Chuan realize that Third Uncle was actually the village head.

  "Ah, someone's here." Third Uncle smiled and replied, "But it's not a guest, it's one of our own family members. Ziran, do you still remember? It's that child who took the exam - this is Ziran's daughter!"

  "Ah, it's Zi Ran's daughter, ah, good, good." The farmer even came over to greet Mo Xian warmly.

  As a result, his gaze suddenly froze on Mo Cui's face.

  The cicada was also frozen in shock, looking back at the farmer, wondering where it had gone wrong.

  The peasant backed off two steps, didn't say goodbye, "Uh, the face looks good. Village head, our village hasn't had a newcomer for a long time. The village head is busy, I'll leave first."

  "Oh, okay, go ahead." Third Uncle seemed to have not seen the farmer's previous strangeness and still smiled as he invited them in.

  She stepped across the threshold, her heart racing with an inexplicable sense of unease. Perhaps, she thought, the crux of the matter lay in what that farmer had said earlier: this village hadn't seen a stranger in ages, and she was a new face, which was why they suddenly turned cold on her.
