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

Putting aside these ambitions for the time being, the first day of the Lunar New Year finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Su Chen took his wives out to pay New Year's visits. In other words, they watched as people in the town lined up to kowtow to him.

As the clan leader, he could only sit in the upper seat, with several senior elders, handing out red envelopes to the younger generation.

Yin Xinyue, Yi Xiaoxiao, and A Ling couldn't stop laughing at the sight.

After finally getting through this difficult period, the village hired a theatrical troupe to perform, which pleased the elderly people who remained in the village and made them feel comfortable.

Enjoying the tranquility, Su Chen found a place to sit down.

Suddenly she felt a fragrant breeze, and when she realized it was Yi Xiaoxiao, she relaxed.

Yi Xiaoxiao let Su Chen rest his head on her lap, gently massaged his temples, and said softly.

"I get the feeling that you don't really like sitting with the old clan chief and the others."

"How old am I? Staying with those people is worse than being killed!"

Thinking about what happened this morning, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over. He would rather go tomb raiding than end up like the old clan chief and the others.

There's no other reason than that he doesn't like the smell of these old people, but he happens to be the highest-ranking person in the Su family. What can he do if he doesn't show up?

Yi Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly and chuckled softly.

“This is already quite simple. If we followed the old rules, these younger generations would have to line up and follow the family traditions to come and see you.”

"We might even have to offer incense and pray for our ancestors..."

Before Yi Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, Su Chen already felt a headache coming on.

He turned his head away, pretending not to want to listen, then touched her slightly protruding belly and suddenly looked up to ask.

Why didn't he kick me?

"It's not time yet."

When Yi Xiaoxiao heard her man thinking about this, she poked his head in annoyance.

He spoke slowly and deliberately.

"What do you think he should be called?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen slowly spoke.

"If it's a boy, we'll name him Su Yi; if it's a girl, we'll name her Su Xiaoxiao."

"Why don't you just call yourself Su Yixiao?"

Yi Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, but her movements became even gentler, her eyes filled with tenderness as if she wanted to melt Su Chen's heart.

"Oh, so I've been looking everywhere for you. So you two were hiding here?"

Seeing the two of them enjoying some peace and quiet, Yin Xinyue and Miss A Ling quickly came over as well.

Time flies, and the Lantern Festival has passed in the blink of an eye.

After a short rest, Sujia Village got back on track.

With the Su family's law enforcement team maintaining order, few ordinary villagers dared to cause trouble anymore.

In the eyes of many, Sujia Village is even regarded as a paradise on earth.

On such a day, Liu Dacheng arrived with his men.

Liu Dacheng, who joined the village, has been living a very comfortable life lately.

They even met Su Chen.

"Chief Su... I have no way to repay this life-saving grace."

"I have a wife, and I'm not interested in your daughter."

Su Chen looked at Liu Yan'er, who was dressed up and following behind Liu Dacheng, and quickly spoke up.

His decisive and resolute rejection made Liu Yan'er feel subconsciously disappointed.

As a girl from the mountains, she felt a strange aura towards Su Chen, who had saved her, and always wanted to do something for him.

But Su Chen didn't need anything she could do, which made Liu Yan'er feel a little wronged.

Her eyes immediately reddened. Girls in the mountains say whatever comes to mind, and when they meet someone they like, they are even more proactive than some men.

Liu Yan'er was afraid of being disliked by Su Chen, which is why she didn't rush up directly. Instead, she started crying.

Seeing this, Su Chen felt somewhat helpless and spoke up.

"Your name is Liu Yan, right?"

"It's Liu Yan'er."

Looking at Su Chen in front of her, Liu Yan'er wiped her face again and corrected Su Chen's statement.

This made Su Chen both amused and exasperated, but it also made him realize that the girl in front of him was a person with her own opinions.

"Okay, Liu Yan'er."

“Sujia Village is not like other villages. As long as you don’t cause trouble, you won’t suffer any grievances. Just live a good life with your father, and those days of fear will not come again.”

Su Chen said with a smile.

In the past, Liu Dacheng and his daughter always lived a life where they didn't have enough to eat.

If life were manageable, who would choose to go tomb raiding?

Those were choices made out of necessity.

In Sujia Village, there weren't as many rules as outside. If you really couldn't find work, you could just go and help build houses. Anyway, Liu Dacheng wouldn't go hungry.

His original idea was for Liu Dacheng to take his daughter to do some business. Since the other party had chosen to come, he couldn't say anything, so he took the initiative to encourage him.

“You can try to do it. There is equality between men and women here. You can do what your father can do. I believe you can do it better than Liu Dacheng.”

"Can I call you Brother Su?"

Liu Yan'er nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining with joy as she spoke.

After receiving Su Chen's affirmation, she said that she would definitely live a good life and would not let Su Chen down.

After calming the two people down, Su Chen began to calm the three people in the house.

For a moment, Su Gege's voice could be heard everywhere in the house.

Having enjoyed a relatively peaceful life, Su Chen received a message from Shanghai.

The locations for the antique shop and auction house have been finalized, and thanks to Su Tian's efforts, they are almost ready to open.

Everything that needed to be arranged was taken care of, and we were just waiting for him to come and cut the ribbon, but then an unexpected incident happened.

The batch of funerary objects sent over before the Lunar New Year was leaked by someone, which aroused the envy of some local forces, who began to obstruct the antique trade.

Su Tian was quite capable, but he was still no match for the established local powers.

This forced Su Chen to bring forward his schedule. He had originally planned to go in the spring, but now he had no choice but to go ahead.

After saying goodbye to his family, Su Chen embarked on his journey to Shanghai.

The antique business couldn't be delayed, and he also had a plan to go to Wushan later. So this time, he also mustered up his troops and went there.

Partridge Whistle, Chen Yulou, and Black-backed Old Six went to Shanghai together.

The remaining corpse carriers, Lao Ma, Duo Ling, and Gu Chen, did not follow this time; their destination was Wushan.

To scout the way for Su Chen to go to the Coffin Gorge in Wushan.

Meanwhile, his expansion into the Northeast continued.

Su Chen was clearly preparing for something big.

But all of this can only begin after the issues in Shanghai are resolved, before we can gradually implement our plans.

A steaming train sped across the plains, the white mist like the breath of a dragon. Su Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed, was quietly preparing a plan to overturn the world of tomb raiding.
