The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1059: Chapter 1058: Setting Out for My Hometown

”Even if someone told me that Su Changfeng is flying a plane now, I would believe it.”

”A few years ago, everyone in Jiang City looked down on Su Changfeng, thinking he was just a son-in-law with no capabilities. But now, look at him, he casually buys dozens of luxury cars.”

”Who dares to insult him now? It’s practically suicidal. I feel that Su Changfeng was just too low-key in the past and didn’t show off.”

The people of Jiang City have long changed their opinion of Su Changfeng. However, the current admiration for Su Changfeng is a recent development. But Su Changfeng doesn’t pay attention to it at all; no matter how others see or judge him behind his back, Su Changfeng remains indifferent.

Since he first stepped into Jiang City, Su Changfeng had only one thought: to take good care of Shen Hanxue in this life. As for other things, they were trivial matters, not worth his concern.

Sitting in the back seat, Zhao Xiaona and Chen Qingqing watched the people coming and going, with their heads down in silence, as if fearful of being recognized.

”Sister Zhao, Qingqing, the car windows aren’t transparent; people outside can’t see you. So you don’t have to keep your heads down like this,” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

”Chang Feng, I can’t shake off this strange feeling,” Zhao Xiaona said. She felt like an ordinary person, unworthy of being the focus of everyone’s admiration. She was content with a happy daily life and having meat to eat every day, but this whole situation was too overwhelming for her.

”Sister Zhao, it’s only your first time; you’ll get used to it after a few more experiences. If you want to return home in the future, just tell Shen Hanxue or Zhu Lie, and Zhu will make arrangements in advance.” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

Zhu Lie, who was in the driver’s seat, quickly chimed in, ”Sister Zhao, Chang Feng is right; if you want to go back in the future, just let me know, and I’ll make sure everything is arranged perfectly.”

Zhao Xiaona shook her head quickly. The scene was already too much for her, and she couldn’t handle it happening more often.

”No need, no need, I would feel embarrassed to trouble you all the time,” Zhao Xiaona said, embarrassed. After all, she felt that Zhu Lie worked for Su Changfeng, and she, being just a servant, shouldn’t receive such high treatment.

Zhu Lie smiled broadly and said, ”Sister Zhao, there’s no need to feel embarrassed. We’re all family, and we should take care of each other. Plus, I’ve eaten your cooking quite a few times; just out of gratitude, I must make sure everything is set for you.”

Throughout the trip, Chen Qingqing remained silent, constantly fiddling with her fingers. Clearly, she was preoccupied with something, but since she didn’t bring it up, Su Changfeng didn’t ask either.

Zhao Xiaona’s hometown is in a village near Jiang City, although it’s only a little over a hundred kilometers away, the heavy traffic kept their speed down, taking nearly two hours to arrive.

At the village entrance, a group of people had gathered around a fire. This was a common sight in the village now that there wasn’t much farm work to do, so everyone had some free time.

It was winter, and everyone gathered at the village entrance to chat, inevitably discussing household gossip.

Of course, the gossip was always about those who were absent.

”Hey, have you heard any news about Zhao Xiaona lately?”

”Her? I reckon she’s probably married to someone else by now. After all, she can hardly support herself, let alone with a daughter.”

”If she didn’t find some man, they probably would’ve starved to death.”

”Exactly, spending most of her life in the countryside, what kind of decent job could she find in the city?”

They were speaking out of malice, making baseless assumptions because they believed what they couldn’t achieve, Zhao Xiaona couldn’t either.

”There’s no wasteland in the city, after all, she can’t farm there.”

”Oh, speaking of Zhao Xiaona, I recently heard that Chen Yiming has been pursuing her and even leaves her house in the middle of the night. I feel like there’s definitely something going on between the two of them.”

”Chen Yiming? No way, he’s the village head, why would he be interested in a widow like Zhao Xiaona?”

”That’s a mystery. After all, at midnight, a man and a woman alone in a room, who can assure nothing happened?”

As the crowd was gossiping about Zhao Xiaona, a long convoy of cars suddenly arrived at the village entrance, blinding everyone’s eyes.

”Oh my god, what kind of cars are these? They look so luxurious.”

”Let me count; how many cars are there? One, two, three...”

”Who is this immortal, driving so many luxury cars?”

”If I had just one, I’d be content for life.”

At this moment, the old village head, Chen Yiming, was at home watching old films. He’d kept them in good condition. Apart from drinking, he had this one hobby—watching them when he had nothing else to do, reminiscing.

”Chen Yiming, Chen Yiming.”

While Chen Yiming was engrossed in his film, an urgent shout came from outside.

”You old ghost, what are you shouting for? It’s broad daylight; you think you’ve seen a ghost or something?” Chen Yiming said, annoyed.

”You... you better go to the village entrance and see... see for yourself.” Ghost panted heavily.

”There’s nothing but those women gossiping at the entrance; I don’t feel like going over. If you have nothing else, just get lost. I’m in the middle of this film,” Chen Yiming said impatiently.

”This is something big. Something’s happened at our village entrance. Some big shot has arrived with lots of cars like the ones on TV, really expensive ones worth millions,” Ghost said enviously.

Chen Yiming was stunned by this, so many cars at the village entrance, and all luxury ones? Even TV shows wouldn’t dare to depict something like this!

”Ghost, are you talking nonsense in broad daylight? Our backwoods place is always deserted; how could some big shot come by?” Liu Wei said, unbelievingly.

”Old village head, I’m telling the absolute truth. If you believe I lied in even half a sentence, I’ll work hard labor for you for half a month,” Ghost said earnestly.
