The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

“Su Ming has become quite the successful entrepreneur now.”

“Su Ming, do you have any job openings in your company? While my daughter may not be as influential as you, she’s a university student.”

Their neighbors had all received generous gifts, and their fondness for Su Ming continued to grow.

“I’d rather not chat here. My dad is still recovering from his injuries. We should head back and get some rest.”

“Alright then, go and take care of your matters.”

“Su, your injuries should heal up quickly this time.”

“Your son is not only wealthy but also very courteous.”

The villagers nearby couldn’t help but envy Su Ming as they watched him assist Su Tao into their home.

“Not too long ago, Lee Sumei was going around borrowing money. It’s only been a few days, and she’s already quite well-off.”

“Do you think she might be involved in some illegal activities?”

“That Guo Jianguo from the neighboring village is in prison.”

“It’s likely that their family framed Old Su. I heard they demanded half a million in compensation, and Guo Jianguo ended up in jail.”

“Based on what you’re saying, Su Ming’s connections must be quite powerful now!”

“Certainly. That’s why he wouldn’t engage in any unlawful activities.”

The villagers congregated at the doorstep, engaged in discussion.

They had watched Su Ming grow up, and their children had played with him.

When Lee Sumei had borrowed money from them, they had lent her a substantial sum.

Now that Su Ming had achieved success, their happiness was palpable.

The courtyard wasn’t expansive, with vegetables growing on both sides of the ground, and a narrow brick pathway in the middle.

Neatly stacked firewood occupied one corner.

Su Ming gazed at the run-down courtyard and sighed.

Over the years, the living conditions of many had improved, and thanks to government support, numerous families had built new homes.

Yet, his own house remained a small bungalow.

The windows and doors were still the same old wooden ones, worn and weathered.

Nevertheless, this was still Su Ming’s home, the place that filled him with the most warmth.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m in good health,” Su Tao reassured.

Su Tao was clearly elated.

Lee Sumei couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“My son has achieved success. How could I not be happy?”

Su Ming eavesdropped on his father’s words from the doorway, chuckling and shaking his head.

“Mom, I crave the food you prepare.”

Su Ming glanced at the time, leaving Lee Sumei a bit bewildered by his request.

“Son, we’re out of ingredients at home.”

“No worries. Our house isn’t far from town. I’ll drive, and the two of us can shop together.”

Lee Sumei nodded in agreement, appreciating the convenience of her son having a car.

Su Ming took the wheel, with Lee Sumei as the passenger. They headed to town to purchase vegetables, fruits, and meat.

Upon their return, Su Tao lounged on the brick bed, munching on fruit while watching TV.

Su Ming and Lee Sumei teamed up in the kitchen, swiftly preparing a table filled with delectable dishes.

The family of three gathered around the brick bed, engaging in conversation and savoring the rare warmth.

“Dad, Mom, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you. I bought a villa in the city. Come live with me.”

Su Ming set down his chopsticks and made his proposal.

“I won’t go.”

Su Tao shook his head. “Son, we’ve grown up in the countryside and spent half our lives here. Although the conditions are a bit tough, we’ve grown accustomed to it.”

“Son, we understand that you’re concerned, but we’re not working to make money anymore. We just feel at ease here.”

Lee Sumei smiled as she spoke.

“But it’s still not convenient for you to live in the countryside. The villa has air conditioning, and I’ll hire a nanny. You won’t have to worry about a thing.”

Su Ming insisted.

“We simply can’t bear to leave this place. How can we live without our neighbors in the villa?”

Su Tao stated, with Lee Sumei nodding in agreement.

Su Ming couldn’t help but sigh.

“Since you’re attached to this place, I’ll construct a building here.”

“Is that acceptable?”

The couple exchanged glances upon hearing Su Ming’s proposal. After a moment, they nodded.

“Son, you must do what you can, but don’t let your finances suffer because of us.”

Su Tao hesitated briefly before speaking.

“That won’t happen. Building a villa here only costs 500,000 yuan.”

“And 500,000 yuan is a trifling sum for me.”

Su Ming reassured them.
