Leisurely mountain village

The taste was just average, nothing particularly amazing. The soup dumplings were also just so-so. However, he had read online that there were only a few famous soup dumpling shops in Nanjing, but not including the duck blood vermicelli shop.

After barely finishing his meal, Ye Huan searched online for the nearest tourist attractions. He found two options: Qixia Temple and Yanziji Park. However, the maple leaves on Qixia Mountain weren't red yet at this time of year, and Ye Huan personally disliked monks with unseemly eating habits, so he chose to visit Yanziji Park instead.

It's only a few kilometers, not far at all.

Upon arriving at the park, Ye Huan realized there wasn't much to see—just a pavilion and a monument. Disappointed, she descended the mountain and then unexpectedly discovered a main road along the river. Many parents were playing there with their children, and there were quite a few cars parked along the roadside.

The atmosphere was alright, but Ye Huan didn't feel anything special. He got out of the car and watched for a while by the river. There were people casting rods and fishing. Ye Huan walked along the river for a bit, and the air was okay.

"Help! Someone has fallen into the water!" Ye Huan walked back and sat on the curb by the bank, watching some fishermen fishing, when he suddenly heard cries for help coming from not far away.

Not only him, but almost everyone nearby ran towards that spot. Several men took off their clothes as they ran, and when they arrived, they jumped into the Yangtze River.

Seeing that quite a few people had already jumped, Ye Huan decided not to cause any more trouble and stood there listening to the people around him recount what had happened.

It turned out to be a young couple who had a fight for some unknown reason. The boy stormed off, and the girl jumped off the cliff. Ye Huan was speechless. Such an extreme little fairy? Luckily, he didn't jump in to save her.

Shaking his head, as he was about to go back, he saw several people working together to drag the girl up. The boy was also called over. Seeing the girl's appearance and his terrified eyes, Ye Huan felt quite sorry for him.

Sure enough, when the girl saw the crowd, she started crying and making a scene, demanding that the boy sell the house his mother had bought for him, and use the money to buy a house for her younger brother to get married in their hometown, while they could just rent a place to live.

With the arrival of the police, Ye Huan became a bystander. As the police questioned her, the matter became clear. However, after the matter was clarified, everyone looked at the girl speechlessly.

It turns out the two aren't married yet; they've only just met each other's parents. The groom's parents don't approve of the marriage because the girl's parents said the bride price is 388,000 yuan. The groom's parents have already bought a house for the boy in full, with the girl's name on it. In addition, the girl's younger brother is also dating someone back in their hometown.

So the 38 yuan dowry will not be returned; it will be given to the woman's younger brother as a dowry for her future in-laws. The woman's family "generously" said they would just add a few more quilts as a gift.

Before the matter was even settled, the girl's younger brother said his girlfriend was pregnant. He had offered a dowry of 38 yuan and threatened to have an abortion if she didn't buy a house. This excited the girl's parents, who then called the girl.

After the boy's parents returned home, they told him about these things, and the boy wavered and thought about breaking up. He realized that there was no need to find such a girl and family. Meanwhile, the girl received a call from her parents, and the two of them came here today to talk.

The boy wanted to break up, while the girl wanted him to sell their wedding house and use the money to buy a house for his younger brother to get married in their hometown. They could rent a place to live with the extra money.

Hearing this, the boy thought about what his parents had told him, and then looked at the calculating girl in front of him. He was completely disheartened and said something harsh: "Your family just wants to sell you for a good price, and you're helping them count the money? Let's break up."

When the boy left, the girl felt she had been wronged beyond measure and jumped into the river. After giving her statement, not only the surrounding crowd but even the police were speechless.

The boy was told to try and coax her, but he said firmly, "Breaking up isn't illegal, is it? During our relationship, she never let me touch her, nor did she spend any money on me or buy me anything. If I did spend money on her, like clothes or bags, I'll just consider it bad luck and not take it back."

The onlookers nodded in agreement.

The girl refused and made a scene, but the boy was determined to break up with her. Naturally, he wouldn't indulge her anymore. He left with a sentence: "Now that I think about it, I'm such a fool. You never let me kiss you or touch you. But you and your male best friends often go to bars all night and play mahjong. I've even seen you two holding hands as you leave a bar. Heh, go find your male best friends."

Not to mention Ye Huan, everyone was stunned, staring at the girl in disbelief. The girl was furious and turned to jump into the Yangtze River again, but was stopped by the police. The police had no choice but to accept that breaking up was not illegal, and that it would be stupid not to break up with the girl in her situation.

The boy left after all. Ye Huan nodded. It seemed he had grown up, or perhaps he had come to understand. People are foolish when they are in love. Ye Huan had been through it before, so he understood this feeling. However, he was better off. After graduation, the girl told him directly that they were not a good match. She liked rich people.

So it was a good breakup. If Ye Huan had encountered a girl like that, he probably would have been disgusted.

After watching the excitement, it was already three or four in the afternoon. Ye Huan looked at the other attractions and decided to head back.

I strolled around MixC Mall recently, had some dinner, bought gifts for Jingjing and Xiaotangyuan, and then drove home.

As for things like exorbitantly priced toilets or Niushou Mountain, he had absolutely no interest in them.

I lost all interest in the road trip; I stopped admiring the scenery along the way. Even though the car was playing the song, "I once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword, to see the splendor of the world..."

But he had no such thoughts at all. For some reason, he just wanted to go home, missed his grandfather, wanted some peace and quiet, and also missed Saihu and Xiaobai.

What he misses most is his safe house in the mountains, which is already completed. He can't wait to move in and feel the wind in the forest and the rain in the mountains.

A tiny bedroom, only three meters wide and four meters long, contains a bed, a desk, a chair, an air conditioner, a fireplace, and nothing else. Next door is a mini bathroom, which was completed quickly, and the thick steel mesh protective netting outside has also been installed.

The roof is made of the hardest glass, and it has an automatic opening and closing mechanism. This room cost 20 yuan to build, which Ye Huan was quite willing to spend.

The most expensive parts were the glass and the automatically retractable roof, which were all custom-made. The second most expensive part was the earthquake-resistant foundation, which was very wasteful of materials.

After taking a nap at a service area along the way, Ye Huan finally arrived home, travel-worn, before dinner, leaving behind a large bag containing 500 million yuan in cash on the back seat.

"Uncle, you're back~" Jingjing ran out as soon as she heard the car, her little legs carrying her. Saihu and Xiaobai followed behind her.

"Oh my, Jingjing, did you miss your uncle?" Ye Huan scooped her up and lifted her high, making her giggle.

"I want to~" Jingjing said, hugging her uncle's neck.
