Chapter 329 The Unique Chen Family Village
"This Chenjia Village is truly unique."
Unable to get an answer, Zheng Qiuyan sighed. On her way from the county town to Chenjia Village, she had seen many villages, and the situation in those villages was often the complete opposite of Chenjia Village. The whole village was desolate and deserted. There were hardly any people in the village, let alone houses. Villagers with connections would go to the nearby county town to seek a way to make a living, while those without connections could only stay in the village and suffer from hunger and cold.
All Zheng Qiuyan saw on the faces of those villagers was numbness.
In contrast, the villagers of Chenjia Village, despite the hard work of building their houses, all wore smiles and showed no signs of numbness.
"Look over there, that girl is so pretty!"
"I saw it too! What a beautiful girl, like a fairy."
"So beautiful! I wish I could marry such a beautiful wife!"
"Keep dreaming!"
"..."
Many villagers who were working noticed Zheng Qiuyan's arrival and kept praising her beauty. In Chenjia Village, where strong women were everywhere, Zheng Qiuyan's appearance was like a swan emerging from a flock of ducks, making it hard not to attract the villagers' attention.
Many hot-blooded young men were eager to go up and strike up a conversation.
However, it was just a thought; they still had work to do. If they abandoned their posts, Chen Hou, the foreman assigned by Chen Dao, would not be lenient with them.
A pay cut would be the least of my worries; I might even lose this hard-won job.
"Qingying, let's go."
Zheng Qiuyan noticed the gazes of the crowd and led Qingying away from the busy construction site.
Before long, the two arrived at a shop called Baicaotang.
At this moment, in front of Baicaotang, Su Qiaoxi was playing with Xiaoyuan. Since Su Qiaoxi and Su Shihua moved into Chenjia Village, Su Qiaoxi also had a share of ownership of Xiaoyuan.
When Chen Dao goes out, he naturally takes Xiao Yuan with him as his bodyguard. When Chen Dao stays in the village, he lets Xiao Yuan play in the village on her own. Most of the time, Xiao Yuan will choose to go to Baicaotang to play with Su Qiaoxi.
"Uh-huh-huh."
The little round creature, tickled by Su Qiaoxi, let out a joyful cry, its eyes curving into crescents. Its fluffy, round face and pink little tongue were incredibly endearing.
At this moment, Su Qiaoxi, who heard footsteps, suddenly looked up, a look of amazement flashing in her eyes.
What a beautiful woman.
Su Qiaoxi thought to herself unconsciously.
Zheng Qiuyan's gaze sharpened and fixed on Xiao Yuan.
She was deeply impressed by the cat-like creature, not only because of its adorable appearance, but also because of the information Zheng Qing told her.
According to Zheng Qing, most of the martial artists sent by the Wang family to hunt down Chen Dao were not killed by Chen Dao and Chen Cheng, but died from the claws of wild beasts. Zheng Qing guessed that the one who killed the Wang family martial artists was most likely the cute little beast on Chen Dao's shoulder!
This woman's relationship with Chen Dao is probably not simple!
Zheng Qiuyan's mind raced. This little beast, which was inseparable from Chen Dao and could be described as ferocious, was now being held in the hands of this girl, looking adorably silly. This showed that Chen Dao and this woman must have a very close relationship.
She might even be Chen Dao's fiancée?
Zheng Qiuyan couldn't help but have this thought: there is no market for free love in Xia Kingdom, nor is there any such thing as a romantic relationship, yet this woman can play with Chen Dao's inseparable little beast. Zheng Qiuyan couldn't think of any other possibility for such intimacy except that she is Chen Dao's fiancée.
"Young lady, would you like to play with Xiaoyuan?"
Seeing Zheng Qiuyan's gaze fixed on Xiaoyuan, Su Qiaoxi couldn't help but ask.
"This...can I do this?"
Zheng Qiuyan asked hesitantly. Of course she wanted to play with Xiaoyuan; girls have absolutely no resistance to these fluffy, adorable little animals, but...
Thinking of Xiaoyuan's terrifying record, Zheng Qiuyan couldn't help but feel a little scared.
After all... this was a ferocious beast that killed one sixth-grade martial artist and two peak seventh-grade martial artists from the Zheng family!
"Of course!"
Su Qiaoxi said with a smile, "Xiao Yuan is very friendly and won't hurt anyone."
friendly……
Zheng Qiuyan's lips twitched. If the Wang family heard this, they would probably be furious.
The bodies of those martial artists from the Wang family had only just been buried.
"You'll see once you try it. Xiaoyuan won't hurt anyone."
Su Qiaoxi held the small round object in both hands and pushed it towards Zheng Qiuyan.
Seeing this, Qingying stepped forward and shielded Zheng Qiuyan behind her, her face full of vigilance, afraid that Xiaoyuan would hurt Zheng Qiuyan.
Fortunately, Xiaoyuan only glanced at Zheng Qiuyan with her black button-like eyes and did not launch an attack.
"Qingying, you don't need to be so careful."
Zheng Qiuyan stepped past Qingying, hesitated for a long time, and then reached out to take Xiaoyuan.
"call!"
Seeing that Xiao Yuan did not resist at all, Zheng Qiuyan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but reach out and stroke Xiao Yuan's soft fur.
Xiao Yuan seemed to enjoy her petting very much, wagging her fluffy tail to express her inner joy, and her eyebrows and eyes curved into crescent shapes.
"So lovely!"
Zheng Qiuyan was even happier. This little animal, named Xiaoyuan, was so cute, and its soft, silky fur made her love it.
"I told you so, Xiaoyuan is a good girl, she won't hurt anyone."
Su Qiaoxi smiled and said, "By the way! What's your name?"
Looking at Su Qiaoxi's innocent and cheerful smile, Zheng Qiuyan felt a surge of goodwill and replied, "My name is Zheng Qiuyan, what's yours?"
"My name is Su Qiaoxi."
"Hello, Miss Qiaoxi."
While gently stroking Xiao Yuan, Zheng Qiuyan inquired, "Are you a villager from Chenjia Village?"
"Yes, it is."
Su Qiaoxi smiled and said, "My grandfather and I just moved to Chenjia Village recently. We used to live in the county town."
Zheng Qiuyan nodded. Su Qiaoxi's surname is Su, so it's obvious that she's not a local villager from Chenjia Village.
"How did you come up with the idea of settling in Chenjia Village? Shouldn't the county town be more prosperous than Chenjia Village?"
Zheng Qiuyan asked again.
"It was Brother Dao who invited us here."
When talking about Chen Dao, Su Qiaoxi's smile seemed to widen: "There was a disturbance in the county town before when refugees came to the city. After Dao-ge'er learned about this, he invited my grandfather and me to settle in Chenjia Village, saying that he could guarantee our safety. So my grandfather and I moved to Chenjia Village. Now my grandfather is the doctor in Chenjia Village."
Zheng Qiuyan glanced at the deserted interior of the shop and asked curiously, "Can you make money by moving here to Chenjia Village to open a pharmacy?"
"Okay."
Su Qiaoxi thought for a moment and said, "Now my grandfather and I mainly treat some elderly people in the village and also treat the wounded members of the guard team. Although we don't earn as much money as we did in the county town, my grandfather is very satisfied because we don't have to worry about safety when we live in Chenjia Village."
