Su Mao and Su De lived at the end of the village. It took three to five minutes to walk from their home to the old house. On the way, Liu Chunhua asked, "Achen, you're tired all day. If you lie down now and take a nap, it will be dawn soon. Why don't you not go to the city tomorrow?"

Old Man Su also advised.

Su Chen shook his head: "Mom and Dad, I still have to go, but I won't go to the city to set up a stall. I promised someone to go to Longshan."

"Longshan?" Old Man Su was puzzled. "That place is far from the city. It would take a whole day to walk there, right?"

Liu Chunhua had never left Liangshan in her life, let alone Longshan. After hearing what Old Man Su said, she immediately became anxious: "It's so far, Ah Chen, you should not go."

"We have to go. The things in the mountains are quite fierce. If we don't deal with them, many people will die."

The ghost energy from the previous life has revived. As a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, Su Chen has no choice but to kill any evil ghost he sees. This world is so beautiful that it naturally cannot be destroyed by these things again.

Therefore, even if no one offered him a large sum of money, Su Chen still wanted to go to Longshan.

Old Man Su opened his mouth but said nothing, but Liu Chunhua stamped her foot and said, "Ah Chen, are you stupid? You know that thing is dangerous, but you still go? Aren't you looking for death? No, Mom won't let you go."

"Mom~" Su Chen smiled bitterly, "He may be fierce, but your son is not a pushover either. If he can't beat me, won't he run away?"

"I have so many children to support at home, I cherish my life very much."

Liu Chunhua still had a stern face, obviously still unhappy.

Su Chen didn't try to persuade her anymore. He went home, took off his clothes, lay down, and fell asleep soon after.

The next morning, when Su Chen opened the door, he saw Liu Chunhua busy in the kitchen. Old man Su was also busy, making a fire.

Seeing that he was awake, Liu Chunhua brought over a plate of fried radish and a bowl of sweet potato porridge, placing them heavily on the table with a sullen face. "Eat quickly, and grab a few eggs later before you go. It's such a long journey, how can you go without something to eat?"

"Thank you, Mom."

Liu Chunhua glared at him and said, "Don't give me such a playful smile. If you really encounter danger, just run away. Do you understand?"

Seeing Su Chen nod, Liu Chunhua sighed: "No, Achen, Mom wanted you to be better before, but you don't have to be so good. Those things... Oh, forget it."

Su Chen went out with five boiled eggs in his pocket. From a distance, he saw a figure at the entrance of the village. Upon closer inspection, it was Su De.

"Fourth brother? What's wrong?"

Su De was waiting for someone at the village entrance to go down the mountain together.

He was really scared last night. He dozed off as soon as he got home, and was awakened by a nightmare as soon as he closed his eyes. There was a dark spot under his eyes. He thought about going to work early, but when he walked to the village entrance and looked at the dark path, he was scared, fearing that another dark shadow would fall from the sky if he went in. He had to wander around the village entrance, thinking that if the villagers were going down the mountain to buy New Year's goods early, maybe they could go with them.

But I didn’t expect that the first person to arrive was Su Chen.

Facing his doubts, Su De laughed dryly twice: "It's okay, Ah Chen, are you going to the town so early? Or to the city?"

"Well, fourth brother, let's go together."

"Hey, okay."

Su De was secretly delighted.

Walking with the villagers is definitely not as good as walking with my younger brother. After all, my younger brother is really capable. Even if you encounter something on the road, it will not harm you.

As he was thinking about it, he heard Su Chen say, "Fourth brother, whose family have you been working for recently?"

Su Chen is actually not very good at communication.

The main thing is, this isn’t his real fourth brother.

But even if you walk fast, it takes more than half an hour to get from Niuwei Village to the town. How could you just walk without talking? That's weird.

As a last resort, I had to find a topic to talk about.

"The son of the Cui family in Liangshan is getting married, so we need to make a brand new set of cabinets, tables, chairs, and beds. My master and I have been busy for five days, and we should be done in another ten days or so."

"Old Cui..." Su Chen dug out the memory of the original owner. It was a grocery store in the town. "His son seems to be about the same age as Aliang?"

"Yeah, it's about the same. Ah Liang will be 20 this Chinese New Year, which is a bit old. If we don't get married now, it will be too late. I talked to my eldest brother about this before, and he was so worried. Ah Chen, you don't know, when we got married a few years ago, the betrothal gift was only one or two hundred yuan. Do you know how much it is now? Two or three thousand!"

"Brother has saved for so many years, but he can only scrape together a small amount."

Su Chen asked: "Does Aliang have anyone he likes?"

Su De shook his head blankly: "No?"

"You know, Aliang has a dull personality. Ever since he graduated from elementary school, he's been following his older brother around the country, digging for food. He doesn't even like going to town. How could he possibly meet a girl?"

"Then there's no need to rush."

"……what?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Marriage is a lifelong thing. If you can choose a girl you like, life will be more enjoyable, right?"

"That being said, wouldn't it be nice if we could get married together first? As the old saying goes, it's better to start a family and build a career first. Only after you have a family can you build a career."

"But I heard from my sister-in-law that she wants Aliang to go to the city to find a job after the New Year..."

"Forget about just listening to sister-in-law's words. Hasn't brother gone to town to find work for Aliang in the past two years? He looked, but couldn't find any, let alone go to the city. He's probably like a housefly in the city, lucky he didn't get lost. Hey, I originally wanted to ask my master if I could take Aliang to work, but my master had his fortune told and he said he wouldn't agree no matter what..."

"You still have to study. I heard that now you can get a job after graduating from university. They are all stable jobs. Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan have good grades and have a good future. But our Atao can't do that. He is at the bottom of the list."

Su Chen originally thought that it would be quite uncomfortable to talk to this fourth brother, but he didn't expect that he was really talkative. He would talk for a while after praising him, and occasionally he would guide the questions. The two of them actually talked and laughed all the way, and there was no dull moment.

When they arrived in the town, Su Chen and Su De separated. As soon as they reached the bus station, they were stopped by Zhao Dongsheng.

"Brother Zhao, is there something wrong with Boss Zhang's family again?"

Zhao Dongsheng waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, Boss Zhang said that it's too tiring for you to go back and forth to the city every day, so he asked me to pick you up in the future."

"No need~"

"Yes, yes. Boss Zhang said he'll never be able to repay your kindness in his lifetime. If you don't take my car, he'll fire me. Master, look, I have a family to support..."

Su Chen knew it was an excuse the moment he heard it, but he couldn't stand the pitiful expression Zhao Dongsheng, a big man, squeezed out. He shuddered and waved his hands: "Alright, alright, I'll sit down. I'll sit down, okay?"

"Hey hey hey, Master, please get in the car."

Zhao Dongsheng smiled happily and quickly bent down to open the car door for Su Chen.

In fact, Zhang Yugui's Santana had been secretly watched by people since it was parked next to the station. After all, although there were people with an annual income of ten thousand yuan in the town these days, no one could afford a small car.

Small cars are a rarity in town.

Seeing Su Chen coming, Zhao Dongsheng opened the door for him with an almost flattering look on his face, and immediately someone started muttering.

"Who is that person? He looks familiar?"

"He looks familiar to me too. I think I've seen him at the poker table before."

"You don't know him? Su Chen, from Niuwei Village, his wife just died!"

"He's already riding in a car after his wife just died? Is he hooking up with a rich woman?"

"Who knows, but this guy is a bit of a gigolo."

At this time, Jiang Wanshui, who was rushing home to move the remaining half of the pork to the vegetable market, paused and slowly came over.

"What are you talking about? What happened to my brother-in-law?"
