The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

Chapter 135 Right to Free Disposal

These pills came from the precious reserves in her space villa. Although the resources in the villa seemed endless, each extraction took time to recover, so she cherished them very much and had only obtained four pills so far.

Chen Yongfeng got three pills, and the remaining one was used as a family emergency measure in case of any unexpected event.

In order to ensure the extraordinary effect of these three pills, Chen Xi specially soaked them in the spiritual spring in his backyard. After a whole night of nourishment, the efficacy of the medicine was improved to a higher level, enough to bring life back to a dying person.

She handed over the pills with a solemn look on her face. Chen Yongfeng read determination and confidence in her eyes. He knew that these pills were by no means ordinary.

Chen Yongfeng did not hesitate at all. He held tightly the pills that carried his sister's deep affection and high hopes, with lofty ambitions surging in his chest.

"I understand, Xiaoxi, thank you." He responded in a low voice.

His decision did not avoid the Chen family members present, because he knew that along the way, he was carrying not only his personal ideals, but also the expectations and support of the entire family.

Although the pills are small and shiny, the precious herbal essence contained in them is enough to demonstrate its inestimable value.

However, in the eyes of the Chen family, this hard-earned treasure did not arouse the slightest greed. Their minds were all on Chen Yongfeng who was about to step onto the battlefield.

"Son, you must take these two hundred taels of silver notes with you. Don't let yourself suffer when you are out there. Use them when you need to."

Liu Xiufen's voice was gentle, and the banknote she gently unfolded in her hand was exactly the one that Chen Xi had generously given to Chen Ping'an before.

"Mom, how can I do this? This is the result of my third brother and Chen Xi's hard work. How can I keep it all for myself?" Chen Yongfeng frowned slightly.

In his opinion, even if it was the family's wealth, he could not take it away without permission just because of his temporary decision to join the army.

"Brother, don't refuse. We really don't mind."

In recent years, the Chen family's financial situation has gradually improved due to the booming business in the town. Even without the two hundred taels of silver, they can still go on with their lives.

But traveling far away without any money is undoubtedly very difficult.

Faced with his family's repeated persuasion, Chen Yongfeng's attitude was extremely firm. He shook his head with a determined look in his eyes.

"I can not accept."

Just when the atmosphere was a little tense, Chen Xi chuckled and said cheerfully: "Okay, second brother, just accept the one hundred taels that mother gave you, and I will add another two hundred taels for you."

Before she finished her words, she had already pulled out two brand new banknotes from her sleeve with quick and decisive movements.

“Brother, you’re welcome. When you become a general, don’t forget to bring me and the children to your side.” Chen Xi’s words made the last bit of hesitation in Chen Yongfeng’s heart disappear.

He knew that his sister was not only smart and capable, but also had close business relations with Mr. Fang in the town. A mere few hundred taels of silver might be just a drop in the bucket for her.

Just as Chen Yongfeng was about to put away the banknotes, his eyes accidentally swept to Xie Tianyi who was standing beside him, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Oh no, when I accepted the silver gift from my sister, I actually ignored my brother-in-law's feelings.

Will Xie Tianyi be unhappy about this?

Do you want to return the money?

But on second thought, whether he accepts or refuses now, if he can really become a general in the future, he will definitely take good care of his parents, sister and the entire family.

"Well, sister, I still have this money..."

Before Chen Yongfeng finished speaking, he quietly winked at Chen Xi, suggesting that she pay attention to Xie Tianyi's reaction.

And Xie Tianyi had already noticed Chen Yongfeng's concerns from their interactions.

He smiled slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, big brother, this money is earned by Chen Xi with her own ability, and she naturally has the right to use it freely. I never ask about her decision, let alone interfere. Big brother, please accept it, and let Xiao Xi feel at ease."

Seeing that Xie Tianyi didn't show any displeasure on his face, Chen Yongfeng accepted the silver with confidence, and felt even more respect for his brother-in-law.

"Brother, don't just carry the banknotes with you. When you get to town, remember to change them into loose change. Pay the bills where they are needed, and remember not to let anyone know that you are carrying a large amount of banknotes."

Chen Xi's reminder was meticulous and detailed. She knew very well that when out in public, one should not show off one's wealth.

Chen Yongfeng nodded solemnly, silently repeating to himself, "It is a crime to possess a treasure," and he knew the importance of acting with caution.

In the afternoon, the luggage was packed, and the instructions and advice before departure seemed to never end.

The three precious "life-extending pills" and four hundred taels of silver notes were carefully sewed by Liu Xiufen into a hidden place in Chen Yongfeng's underwear to ensure that they were safe.

The remaining one hundred taels were properly arranged for emergency use.

As the sun sets, a warm atmosphere permeates the Chen family's courtyard. They warmly invite Chen Xi and his family to have dinner together. Even Uncle Niu, who helps with the luggage, is cordially invited to stay.

While it was still light, Chen Yongfeng, Chen Pingan and Chen Ersao set out for the town to handle the final matters.

After packing their bags, Chen Xi and his family prepared to take a ox cart back to Xianghe Village.

The children's laughter and farewells were intertwined, full of reluctance and anticipation.

"Brother and sister, when can you come and play with us again?" Chen Jiayi and Chen Jiajia's voices were full of nostalgia.

"Mom, when can we go back to my aunt's house?"

Xiaoyang and Xiaochen shook their little heads, their eyes flashing with longing for the future.

"Mom, the little rabbits at my aunt's house are so cute. I want to raise one too!" Xiao Chen's innocent words caused everyone to laugh.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiufen immediately ordered Su Dazhuang to catch two lively little rabbits and carefully put them into Chen Xi's bamboo basket as a gift for the children.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt!" Xiaoyang and Xiaochen expressed their gratitude politely.

"You're welcome, my dears. Come anytime you miss your aunt, and she will find time to visit you." Liu Xiufen's smile was warm. Although Xianghe Village and Chenjia Village are not far apart, every gathering seems particularly precious.

As the oxcart slowly started, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen waved their hands reluctantly, "Goodbye, brother and sister! Welcome to visit us next time!"

Chen Jiayi and Chen Jiajia also waved vigorously in response, and the friendship between the two families became even deeper.

"Xiaoyang and Xiaochen, goodbye!" There was a hint of reluctance in the children's clear voices.

"We will definitely come to play with you." They waved their little hands in the air.

Children's emotions are always so direct and pure. In a blink of an eye, their little faces showed deep concern for their uncle who was about to join the army.

"Mom, can my uncle really become a general?" Xiaoyang's eyes were sparkling with curiosity and admiration, as if in their hearts, their second uncle was already a hero who had overcome all obstacles.

Chen Xi looked at the innocent faces of the children and did not give a direct answer. Instead, he asked, "Do you think Second Uncle can become a general?"
