Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

That night.

Su Chen lay on the bed, with Yin Xinyue resting her head on his arm.

After their passionate encounter, Yin Xinyue was drenched in sweat.

She held Su Chen tightly; since their marriage, the two had been inseparable.

It wasn't until she became pregnant that Su Chen didn't go to Yijia Village with her.

At first, Yin Xinyue was a little unaccustomed to it, but she also understood that sometimes she would become a burden to Su Chen by following him into the tomb.

At the same time, Su Chen slowly spoke up, "This time when I went to Yi Family Village, I married Miss Yi Xiao."

"This……"

Yin Xinyue was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, I won't be angry."

How could an outstanding man have only one woman by his side?

Which of those kings, generals, and high-ranking officials didn't have three wives and four concubines? Yin Xinyue had actually been prepared for this for a long time.

When Yi Xiao came to Su Family Village before, Yin Xinyue, as the clan chief's wife, although she did not communicate with Yi Xiao directly, she learned about their purpose by subtly inquiring about it.

Yin Xinyue remained silent at the time.

At this moment, Yin Xinyue can't say she fully supports Su Chen's decision, but she certainly won't oppose it either.

She was the first to enter the family, and in terms of family background and social standing, she would definitely be the first wife.

Anyone else who wants to join can only be a junior member.

Her child is also a legitimate son and has the right to inherit all of the Su family's property.

Seeing how understanding and considerate Yin Xinyue was, Su Chen was quite moved.

……

The next day, morning.

Su Chen brought Yin Xinyue to a foreign firm located in Changsha City.

The owner of this trading company was an American with long blond hair, wearing a suit and bow tie, and he looked very polite.

In those days, the only way to buy a car was through foreign firms and embassies, who would import them.

If someone's status and position are high enough, the embassies will also give them cars as gifts to win them over and seize their own benefits.

Even if there is no business relationship, paying them a service fee will still get them to use their connections to import cars.

Ultimately, the industrial base at that time was too weak to manufacture cars.

Su Chen was able to meet Mr. Henry, the owner of the foreign firm, only through the connection of Zhang Dafoye, the garrison commander of Changsha City.

Despite the monk's sake, Henry warmly invited Su Chen into the private room at the back.

A tall, fair-skinned, and elegant woman walked in and made tea for Su Chen and Yin Xinyue.

Taking advantage of the moment, Henry spoke up, "Mr. Su Chen, I heard you're planning to buy a car."

"Choosing our firm is the right choice."

"I just wonder which car Mr. Su is looking to buy?"

At that time, the most popular car on the market was Ford, and for high-end brands, there were also Buick and Stiebel Elek.

The cheapest Ford Model T inside still costs three thousand dollars.

"Let's buy a Ford!"

Su Chen pondered for a moment.

A Stipunk car costs four or five thousand dollars, which is expensive.

Moreover, the cost of gasoline and car maintenance at that time was not a small amount.

"Mr. Su, I would call the Ford cars produced in our country the best cars in the world!"

Mr. Henry immediately launched into a long speech.

Su Chen paid half of the deposit first, and will pay the balance when the car arrives.

Of course, Su Chen wasn't worried about the other party running away.

Although the foreigners were powerful at this time, they had not yet reached the point of being lawless.

And his trading company is still here!

The people of Sujia Village are not easy to deal with.

"Mr. Su, I heard that you are planning to open an antique shop. If you do open, please let me know."

Henry said, "I'll definitely be there to support you!"

"must!"

Su Chen nodded.

Foreigners did come to support the opening, which boosted the business's prestige.

After paying the deposit, Su Chen left.

It will take two or three months for the car to be shipped back by sea, so it's too early to say.

……

After leaving the foreign firm, Su Chen went to the antique shop.

The location here is indeed somewhat remote, but it is quiet.

Fourth Uncle sat in a chair and discussed the details with Su Chen.

"Xiao Chen, you need to set a date for the opening! That way we can send out invitations."

Fourth Uncle handed over the decision-making power to Su Chen regarding the date.

"Then let's do it in three days!"

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen decided, "Three days from now is an auspicious day for opening a business, starting work, or traveling. It's a pretty good day."

Let's set it for 10 a.m. three days from now!

"As for the protocol list, send a copy to Mr. Zhang, the defense officer, as well as the Huo family and the Wu family..."

Su Chen drafted a list of about a dozen people.

Although there weren't many people, they were all local dignitaries.

I certainly won't lose face.

"As for the other details, you can decide for yourself!" Su Chen instructed.

Since it's a grand opening, it has to be lively.

Lion dance, acrobatics, opera performances... they must be a huge success!

Fireworks and firecrackers are also essential.

The decorations in the antique shop must also be festive.

These miscellaneous tasks all need to be done by someone.

Su Chen became a hands-off manager, leaving all the work to Yin Xinyue and her fourth uncle.

Thanks to the large number of artifacts that Su Chen brought back from Zuyuan Jintang, the antique shop now has dozens of its prized possessions.

According to Yin Xinyue's plan, an auction could be held later, inviting major families and forces from both the north and south to participate.

Further enhance our reputation!

……

Sujia Village.

It was harvest season, and Su Chen wore a straw hat to shield himself from the sun as he walked along the ridges of the clan's fields.

The Su family hired even more day laborers.

In the rice paddies, the migrant workers harvested rice under the scorching sun.

There were also many elderly people and children by the paddy field, waiting for the rice to be harvested.

They would then swarm in.

"It's Chief Su!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.

Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at Su Chen and excitedly rushed towards him.

"Chief Su, we, your family, will never forget your great kindness!"

The person who said this was an old woman. During the famine, her whole family almost starved to death.

Fortunately, the Su family hired her son as a long-term employee and paid him a monthly wage, which allowed her whole family to have enough to eat.

"Patriarch Su, is the Su family still short of laborers? My son is very strong, and he's an excellent farmer..."

Some people also wanted Su Chen to say something and let her child work as a long-term servant in the Su family.

If all else fails, you can do odd jobs.

“Mr. Su, I don’t know how to do anything else, but I’ve been a carpenter for decades. Does the Su family need another carpenter?”

"..."

These people chattered amongst themselves, surrounding Su Chen.

For them, the only way to survive is to cling to the big tree that is Sujia Village.

"There are people specifically in charge of recruitment. You can go find my fourth uncle!" Su Chen said. "Don't worry, Su Family Village will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
