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

Even Er Yuehong had to step back a little.

The Huo and Wu families are far inferior to the Su family.

As the saying goes, when you set up a stage for a performance, there are naturally supporting roles as well as main characters.

Without a doubt, the Zhang and Su families are the main characters, while the other families are supporting characters, used specifically to highlight the existence of the main characters.

……

Time flew by and it was already 11 a.m.

This timing was chosen by Su Chen in advance; it was the best time to open for business.

A group of people stood in front of the gate, with Su Chen, as the boss, naturally in the center position.

Although Zhang Dafoye was also a shareholder, he sat in the audience.

The other nine members also sat in the lower positions.

Su Chen didn't bother with any roundabout talk and simply said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today marks the official opening of Su's Antique Shop."

"I will continue to rely on your support!"

Then, Su Chen walked to the signboard and pulled the rope in his hand.

The red cloth covering the signboard fell off.

The gold-stamped lettering—the large characters of "Su's Antique Shop"—shines brightly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Qishan's adjutant took the stage and made a statement of support for Su's Antique Shop, which was an act of endorsing Su's Antique Shop.

Several prominent figures from prominent families also took to the stage to express their support for Su's Antique Shop.

Immediately afterwards, gongs and drums resounded, and firecrackers crackled, creating a lively atmosphere.

Fourth Uncle stood on the second floor, continuously scattering copper coins wrapped in red cloth downwards, which was considered distributing red envelopes.

We warmly welcome guests from all directions and eagerly welcome wealth from all corners of the world!

This street instantly became the liveliest place in Changsha.

Guests arrived in droves, and the gifts they brought filled the entire room.

Afterwards, Su Chen hosted a dinner for everyone at the nearest restaurant.

In the afternoon, we also need to entertain some guests.

The grandest banquet was held in the evening, attended by the city's elite, amidst dazzling lights and revelry.

On the opening day alone, Su Chen spent more than two thousand yuan.

There were simply too many guests, and they were all people of high status and position.

Therefore, the hospitality must be of a high standard, and there are many places where money is spent.

After finishing all that work, it was already late at night.

Su Chen drank quite a bit of alcohol and was quite drunk.

Since they couldn't go back to Sujia Village, they booked a room at a nearby inn and stayed near the antique shop.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Su Chen woke up in bed early in the morning.

I drank too much last night, and now my mouth is dry.

Seeing a glass of water on the table, Su Chen hurriedly got out of bed, picked up the glass, and gulped it down.

To Su Chen's surprise, the water was actually warm!

I checked the teapot again; the water inside was still hot.

The water in this teapot must be from last night, right?

It's still hot after all this time?

Somewhat outrageous.

"Squeak..."

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

Yi Xiao walked in, carrying a pot of tea.

"Wake up!"

Yi Xiao smiled faintly.

Only then did Su Chen realize that the teapot had no magic power whatsoever.

Yi Xiao hadn't slept all night and was worried that Su Chen would wake up and want to drink water, so she kept the water hot.

With such a virtuous wife, what more could a husband ask for?

"Thanks a lot."

Su Chen took the teapot and pulled Yi Xiao into his arms.

"Sister Xinyue said you drank too much last night and you'll definitely be thirsty when you wake up, so she asked me to prepare some water for you," Yi Xiao said.

"By the way, where's the new moon?"

Su Chen looked around and asked.

"She needs to rest during her pregnancy! I told her to go home and rest early."

Yi Xiao said, "During the first three months of pregnancy, it is best to avoid overexertion, as it can easily lead to miscarriage."

After saying that, Yi Xiao added more hot water to Su Chen's blanket.

The aroma of tea overflows.

"Then let's rest a little longer."

It's still early.

After chatting for a while, Su Chen waited for the tea to cool down before lying down on the bed with Yi Xiao in his arms.

Su Chen didn't get out of bed until around eight o'clock in the morning.

Having exercised for a while, and having barely rested last night, Yi Xiao was now fast asleep.

Su Chen put on his clothes, washed up briefly, and then left the room for the time being, heading to the antique shop.

Today is the second day of business.

Su Chen arrived at the shop early.

A woman of striking beauty, dressed in a cheongsam, stood in front of the door.

She was handpicked by Yin Xinyue; she was the daughter of a displaced family.

After receiving training from Yin Xinyue, he officially started working.

Of course, Yin Xinyue's training was not only about etiquette, but also included some knowledge about the antique industry.

"Mr. Su!"

The woman quickly bowed to Su Chen.

"Not so polite."

Su Chen walked straight into the shop, and the woman followed behind him. After Su Chen sat down, she immediately went to make tea for him.

In this respect, this girl did relatively well.

"What's your name?"

Su Chen, holding the teacup, inquired.

"Mr. Su, you can just call me Xiaoyue."

The woman spoke slowly.

"Is there anyone else in your family?" Su Chen had nothing else to do, so he started chatting with her.

“I have an elderly mother and an older brother at home. My brother works in the guard team of Sujia Village,” Xiaoyue said. “My wife saw that I was clever, so she let me work at the antique shop.”

When she talked about this, Xiaoyue's eyes were still sparkling.

She was so excited.

He could earn four silver dollars a month from the antique shop.

His brother received about seven silver dollars a month.

All together, he earned eleven silver dollars a month.

Their family had originally fled from another place and almost starved to death on the way. If they hadn't been lucky enough to escape to Sujia Village and drink the porridge provided by the villagers, there would probably have been several more corpses of starvation by the roadside.

Xiaoyue was thinking that after saving up some money, she would first find a marriage partner for her brother.

There were two girls in Sujia Village who were about the same age as her brother and were of marriageable age.

However, Xiaoyue dared not hope to become related to the Su family.

It would be best to help her brother choose someone who is capable, kind, and virtuous.

Oh, and we also need to build a decent house before her brother's wedding, so that the whole family will have a place to live.

"Work hard, and the store will treat you well."

Su Chen smiled.

"Ta Tata..."

At this time, a burst of footsteps came.

Yin Xinyue walked in from outside.

Xiaoyue tactfully withdrew.

"You seem to be chatting and laughing. What's wrong? You think this girl is nice? How about I go and talk to her and ask her to be your concubine?"

Yin Xinyue joked.

"Don't be silly, I don't have that idea."

Su Chen shook his head.

"Is it that you really don't have that thought, or do you have the desire but not the courage?"

Yin Xinyue asked again.

"Of course I don't have that thought. I already have such a beautiful wife, how could I not be satisfied?"

Su Chen said.

Xiaoyue is indeed quite beautiful, but she's only average-looking among ordinary people.
