Changsha City.

Su Chen was away for more than half a month this time.

After enduring the bitter cold on the back of Qin, the weather felt much warmer after returning to Changsha City.

The Su family's antique shop is doing quite well every day.

Yin Xinyue's belly is noticeably bigger.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Su Chen stepped forward and embraced Yin Xinyue.

"It's all our own business, what's this talk about hardship or not? If you're talking about hardship, you're the one who's really having a hard time, sleeping in the open and braving the elements!"

Yin Xinyue said with a smile.

The Su family is now almost entirely supported by Su Chen alone!

Su Chen is the backbone of Su Family Village!

"I brought a lot of things back with me this time! I'll put them on consignment at the antique shop for now!"

"By the way, how's business at the antique shop these days?"

Su Chen asked.

“We can sell about 30,000 to 40,000 silver dollars every month!” Yin Xinyue said slowly. “Not only people from Changsha City, but also people from the entire Hunan region and even the surrounding provinces come here to buy antiques!”

"Our reputation is slowly growing!"

"Many people also put their antiques in our shop to sell!"

When this topic came up, Yin Xinyue spoke eloquently.

She's practically the only one running this antique shop.

However, she has already begun training staff.

Whenever I appraise antiques, I bring a few girls with me.

Although those girls were refugees, they were thoughtful and beautiful.

It's now the signature item of the antique shop!

Many customers come to antique shops not to see the antiques, but to see the welcoming etiquette.

But they knew in their hearts that this was Mr. Zhang's territory, so they didn't dare to do anything reckless.

Since the antique shop opened, no one has dared to cause trouble here.

The street gradually became more prosperous.

"Across from our antique shop, they're currently setting up a place; they're probably planning to open an inn!"

Yin Xinyue said, "Everyone on the street benefits from our antique shop!"

The street is getting busier and busier!

Other shops are also doing better and better.

This street is showing signs of becoming the most bustling street in Changsha.

"Not bad!"

Su Chen nodded in agreement.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You've just gotten back, let's go back to the village first!"

Yin Xinyue informed her fourth uncle and asked him to keep an eye on the shop.

Then, the two left together.

As for Yi Xiao, at the train station, she told her family to go back to their base camp first.

She herself stayed in Sujia Village, intending to stay with Su Chen for a while longer.

Su Chen plans to explore the Ruins of the South China Sea next, and he will need Yi Xiao's help.

……

Sujia Village.

The harvest season is over.

On the hillside, the lush green wheat seedlings are a rare sight in winter.

Most of the leaves have fallen.

The whole winter seemed rather monotonous.

A light snow fell a few days ago, but it melted before it even hit the ground.

I returned at noon.

The people of Sujia Village are distributing porridge to the displaced people.

According to Su Chen's rules, the number of porridges distributed each day is fixed.

If you arrive early, there will be porridge; if you arrive late, you can forget about everything.

A long queue formed in front of the soup kitchen.

Those emaciated refugees, holding a broken bowl, obediently stared at the pot!

What could make them so obedient was, of course, the gun.

Several guards carrying guns were standing nearby.

Guns are the greatest deterrent.

Otherwise, these people would probably have swarmed up and snatched the food from the pot long ago.

"Clan Chief Su!"

Among the refugees, some recognized Su Chen's identity.

Immediately afterwards, all the refugees knelt down and kowtowed to Su Chen, thanking him.

"Thanks is fine, but kneeling is out of the question!"

Su Chen waved his hand.

He doesn't have that habit.

Su Chen walked up to the soup stall and took a look.

The porridge is neither too dry nor too watery.

One bowl is definitely not enough.

This was the old clan chief's decision.

First, we cannot provide relief to so many disaster victims; second, people who are well-fed are more likely to cause trouble.

They're not starving, but they're starving all the time.

"Where is the old clan chief?"

Su Chen asked.

"I'm at home, Brother Chen!"

"A younger member of the Su family said."

"it is good!"

Su Chen nodded; he would need to have a chat with the old clan chief later.

After leaving the soup kitchen, Su Chen soon saw a large area of ​​shacks.

Those shacks were where refugees lived.

In front of some shacks, there was a woman standing, dressed in tattered clothes, but her face was rosy.

A short while later, a man in his forties entered the shack.

The woman followed closely behind and went inside.

Then, another woman came out.

Such situations are quite common in refugee shantytowns.

Su Chen's face turned cold.

……

The entrance to Sujia Village.

The bunkers and city walls have been repaired and completed.

The next step is to set traps.

After entering the city gate tower, Su Chen and Yin Xinyue temporarily separated.

"You go home first, I'll go find the old clan chief!"

Su Chen said.

"Okay, then come back soon!"

Yin Xinyue nodded.

"Yi Xiao will probably be here soon, you two sisters can chat first," Su Chen said with a smile.

"What are you going to talk about? Who will keep you company tonight?" Yin Xinyue laughed. "I'm not suitable. You should let Yi Xiao keep you company more."

"What are you afraid of? We'll accompany both of them!"

Su Chen grinned mischievously.

After exchanging a few jokes, Yin Xinyue left.

Su Chen went straight to the old clan chief's house.

Of all the houses in Sujia Village, the old clan chief's house is probably the most dilapidated now.

My fourth uncle once suggested that the clan fund the repair of the old clan chief's house, or if that wasn't possible, rebuild a few rooms.

However, the old clan chief rejected this proposal.

The old clan chief's original words were that he was too old to go to such great lengths.

Sujia Village needs to develop, and there are many places where it needs money.

His house was neither drafty nor leaky, so it was quite comfortable to live in.

"Xiao Chen!"

Upon seeing Su Chen enter, the old clan chief hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Old patriarch!"

Su Chen helped the old clan chief into the house.

"Old woman, serve the clan chief some tea!"

The old clan chief gave the instructions.

The two then started chatting.

The old clan chief was the one who knew the most about everything in Sujia Village, big and small. Although he was no longer in charge, he still cared about the development of the village.

"The school is finished!"

The old clan chief said, "The children should all go to school."

"Seeing their chubby and healthy faces, this old man can finally rest easy!"

"The antique business is doing quite well too, Xinyue told you, right?"

"With you running our Su family's antique business, I can rest assured."

"The only concern is the migrants outside the village; they are ultimately an unstable factor."

Su Chen nodded. He had come to see the old patriarch for the same reason.

"Elder Chief, there's something you might not know: brothels have actually appeared in those refugee shacks!"

Su Chen said vehemently, "I think we can't stand by and watch any longer; we must reorganize the refugee groups!"

"If this continues, it will probably affect our Su Family Village!"
