Leisurely mountain village

"You should give cash, just to intimidate them." Ye Huan knew that because his grandfather doted on him, his aunt's family had some resentment towards his grandfather. It was only after they bought a house in the provincial capital and spent a lot of his grandfather's money that they stopped complaining.

In fact, apart from his own family, Ye Huan has very little affection for relatives. Perhaps because he has been away from home for more than ten years, he is only very close to his grandfather and doesn't really care about anyone else.

Grandpa nodded. He didn't care, not even his son's opinion. What hadn't he seen in his life? He'd even fought a tiger. Why would he care about such things?

He only cared about this grandson, because the grandson had been with him since he was a child, learning martial arts and medicine from him, running in the mountains with him, and drinking with him. So the old man left everything to his grandson, not entirely because of the family heirloom.

More than anything, it was Ye Huan's companionship since childhood. His daughter's family also lived in the village, but his grandson wasn't close to him. He was willing to teach him martial arts and medicine, but he absolutely refused. He would even go back to complain that his grandfather was abusing him just for standing in a stance.

Finally, his daughter started crying, and he gave up on the idea, even though he wasn't teaching her the core martial arts techniques of the Ye family.

Later, when Ye Huan went to high school, her daughter's family also insisted on moving to the provincial capital. Ye Wuju was disheartened and sold half a tiger bone to help his daughter settle down, which was considered as her share of the family property.

Until Ye Huan came back and said she wasn't leaving, no one knew that the old man was alone at home, laughing and then crying. Ye Huan knew that her grandfather was in a good mood, but she didn't know how good he was.

So when someone jumped out to bully his grandson, Ye Wuju was like a mad tiger. He didn't kill Lao Ba's whole family, which means he still has some intelligence.

He doesn't mind protecting his grandson now, and he'll only dare to leave with peace of mind once his grandson grows up. But what he doesn't know is that his grandson is reluctant to let him go. The food and spiritual spring water he provides every day are pushing his grandfather closer to 200 years old.

“Actually, it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t give me a penny, but even though we’ve moved, at least he hasn’t forgotten his roots. He still knows to come back and visit me during holidays,” Grandpa said to Ye Huan.

"Grandpa, you can make the decisions. Don't worry, I have no objections. To be honest, in a few years, I believe I won't even care about 8000 million." Ye Huan was confident in himself.

Putting everything else aside, what's the current price of that 800-year-old wild ginseng? What about a few more years, when it's cultivated to be over a thousand years old? What will its price be then?

As for the back mountain, with his future abilities, he didn't believe he couldn't find treasures in such an ancient primeval forest. His spatial ability came from a piece of jade he found in the forest.

Grandpa nodded, "Then I believe you, hahaha."

The father and son burst into laughter together.

Before dinner, Ye Huan was enjoying the cool air in the pavilion when his phone rang. He saw it was Chen Xixi and answered it.

"How so?" he asked.

"This Saturday at 5 pm, Nanjing. There will be fewer than 20 people this time, many of whom are from the vicinity of Jiangsu Province, so we decided to hold it here. I will make the arrangements," Chen Xixi said.

“Okay, send me your location when the time comes, and I’ll go there myself,” Ye Huan replied.

“Okay, I live not far away. There’s a mountain called Jubao Mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a Lehe Hotel, which is pretty good. It’ll be no problem to have a meal there,” Chen Xixi said. The location was rather remote, so she explained it clearly to her classmates.

Her father actually lived in the Hexi area of ​​Jinling. She didn't like living with her family because her father lived with his second wife's family. So she rented a house in Xianlin, far away from them. Once she went to work in Shanghai, she gave up that place.

This Jubao Mountain is a place she often goes hiking and exercising, so she knows there's a restaurant at the foot of the mountain. It's not very high-end, but it's okay. For a gathering, there's no need to go to a five-star or six-star restaurant; that's too vain.

Although her family was wealthy, she wasn't. She had been frugal since childhood, unlike her half-brother who was used to spending money lavishly. From her teens, Chen Xixi knew that her father had ulterior motives, so she didn't bother them except for tuition fees. From high school onwards, she earned her living expenses by doing odd jobs.

After she got to university, she didn't even ask her family for tuition anymore. She wouldn't go back home for even a single day a year. She returned to China this year without telling her family, and they didn't ask either. They probably don't even know which country she's in.

As for the cost of her studies abroad, it was all earned from participating in competitions, tutoring, and working during winter and summer vacations from high school to university.

Back then, her college entrance exam scores were high enough to stay in Nanjing and attend the best university, but she went to Shenzhen to leave, partly because they promised her a full scholarship.

"Okay, I'll do a search. When I get there, I'll also check if there's anywhere good to stay nearby. I'll definitely be staying for one night," Ye Huan said with a smile.

"Okay, you can see for yourself. I'm not very familiar with the others either." After replying, Chen Xixi said goodbye and went to notify the others.

Ye Huan checked the address and then searched the surrounding area. The most recommended hotel was a large hotel called Buckingham Palace, which looked pretty good, so he booked a double room online for this Saturday.

Today is Wednesday, two more days. I'll go get the money on Friday and check around to see if there are any good opportunities to buy gold. This afternoon I'll drive straight to Nanjing, which is over a thousand kilometers away. I estimate I'll arrive on Saturday morning. I'll take a nap at the hotel this afternoon and attend a party in the evening. Perfect timing.

Then on Sunday, we drove back together, taking two days off on a road trip. He's never really traveled much in his life, partly because he didn't have the time and partly because he didn't have the money.

During dinner, he told his family about his trip to Nanjing on Saturday. Since he wouldn't be of any use at home anyway, his parents nodded and said they understood.

"Grandpa, shall we go over there and have some fun?" Ye Huan asked.

"No, no, I don't want to go anywhere right now. I just want to stay at home." Grandpa waved his hand as if he didn't know what to do.

Everyone laughed, and Ye Huan secretly told his grandfather that there was no need to worry about the money. He would get a safe and store it in a bank vault, but actually he planned to put it in his spatial dimension for a few days.

Grandpa trusted his grandson completely and nodded without saying a word.

After finishing the wild game at home, Dad asked the village butcher to slaughter a free-range boar these past few days. The aroma of braised pork made Ye Huan eat two bowls of rice by herself, and even the little girl Jingjing ate four or five pieces of meat.

“Jingjing gets up every morning to play with her great-grandfather. Uncle will be back in a couple of days,” Ye Huan said to Jingjing while having breakfast early Friday morning.

It's mainly because it's not his own daughter; otherwise, he could take her out for a couple of days without any problem.

Jingjing nodded obediently, "Then Uncle, you must come back soon."

"Yes, yes, Uncle will definitely buy Jingjing a big toy, how about Pleasant Goat?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, Uncle." Jingjing squinted her eyes.
