Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 329 Ye Jingchen Discovers the Gap

This night was a night of debauchery for all of them. Those with women indulged in tenderness and vented their feelings. Those without women also drank until they were in a daze and in a good mood. They all achieved their goals and fell into a deep sleep when they returned home.

After all, they were all urging each other to drink, and no one was sober. Even General Wang An, who had a good alcohol tolerance, was slightly tipsy in the end, and went straight back to the bedroom, lying down and sleeping without washing.

They agreed to start the peace talks in three days. Both sides took the terms drafted by Ansheng and went back to study them carefully.

Su He was also supervising the work in Wengcheng. She was busy anyway, so she chose to bring people here, which made her feel more at ease. For every new choice, she put in her utmost energy to meet new challenges.

Her main concern now is to make money. After thinking about it, she devotes herself to it. After doing her best, she will feel genuinely happy.

Their family was getting better and better, and they did not completely abandon the village. They sent someone back to leave some money for the village chief, asking him to send someone to plant their land. They also sent someone to look after the house to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of it.

I heard from the people who came back that the village is now well-known for being wealthy, and it is an honor to marry into their village. The villagers can now eat enough and wear clothes that are no longer tattered.

The village chief repeatedly assured them that everything at home would be left to him and he would make sure everything was arranged properly. When they came back, everything would be the same as when they left, and they were all waiting for the Su family to return to the village.

Su He was very pleased that his original intention was not wasted. His family helped the villagers and gradually got rid of poverty. Everyone remembered the good things of the Su family, which was enough. At least the Su family's future was saved.

Otherwise, how could Su He's grandparents, parents, and other people who were born and raised in Shili Village and have lived there for generations be willing to never go back? There are their ancestral graves there, and they must return to their roots in the end.

No matter how far they go, they still have to go back to Shili Village, where their home and roots are. Especially the grandparents, who have been asking when they can go back to the village recently, because they miss home a little.

Su He also advised them to live well here, and when their family had money, they would go back and buy the mountain behind, plant fruit trees, and repair the natural barrier so that the people of Dongjie would never come to harm them again.

Su He had already thought about it. He would hire someone to dig a ditch and build a natural moat to prevent the enemy from getting through easily. He would also set up traps to make Shili Village a safe village, where grandparents could live safely and look after the family. The younger generations would earn money and become officials outside to protect them.

After the Ye family boys returned, they also changed a lot, especially Ye Jingchen. He practiced martial arts more diligently every day, studied harder, and began to learn some military books.

Of course, he asked his father to help him buy these military books from the library. Because this is a border town, wars often happen, and the library also displays common military books at the request of the city people.

As soon as Ye Jingchen came into contact with the brothers and sisters of the Su family, he discovered the gap between him and them. The family background of the Su family was similar to theirs before, but the brothers and sisters were much better than them.

The Su brothers and sisters have clear goals, each with their own ideas, and are working hard. They have gradually come out of the poor countryside and see that other people are gradually becoming wealthy.

They had a house and a shop, and could afford to hire their father to teach. They also had connections with the general's mansion, and they had built it up step by step.

For example, when the war started, Wang Xiaohu from the General's Mansion came to Su He to discuss countermeasures. What does this mean? He must have something extraordinary. They care about the Su family, so they came to ask.

However, the suggestions made by Miss Su He were really useful, successfully turning the situation around and bringing the war to a successful conclusion in a very short time. Her unique insights were really amazing, and after being adopted and applied on the battlefield, Ansheng won at a very low cost.
