Liu Yujia was beautiful, performed well in school, and had a cheerful personality. Her only shortcoming might be her family’s poor financial condition.
Her roommates all had better smartphones than hers, so she hardly ever participated in discussions about smartphones.
But today, she herself had become the center of this topic.
“Brother-in-law sent the phone, I don’t even know what model it is.”
Liu Yujia was actually quite curious about what kind of smartphone that brother-in-law from Jiangcheng would send.
“Then hurry up and open it to see!”
“Yeah, let’s all take a look!”
“The packaging looks pretty big…”
The three girls became even more interested when they heard that Liu Yujia didn’t know what model of smartphone it was.
A girl who usually got along very well with Liu Yujia helped remove the outer carry bag, and then the four saw the “findN3” lettering on the packaging box.
“Wow, findN3??”
“Jiajia, your brother-in-law is so generous!”
One of the girls knew about the findN3 smartphone and immediately exclaimed.
“findN3?”
“Is it expensive??”
Liu Yujia, not knowing much about smartphones, asked curiously.
“More than ten thousand!”
“You tell me if that’s expensive!!”
“Ah??”
“More than ten thousand…”
Liu Yujia’s mouth dropped open in surprise, completely dumbfounded.
The two roommates who were also unfamiliar with the findN3 smartphone were equally shocked.
“Jiajia, hurry up and open it!”
“Right, let me see what a phone that costs more than ten thousand looks like…”
After a brief moment of astonishment, the roommates began to urge her again.
Then Liu Yujia carefully opened the packaging under the watchful eyes of her three roommates…
“Wow, it’s cool!”
“So beautiful!!”
“You can tell it’s high-end just by looking at it!”
After seeing the findN3 in the box, the roommates praised it one after another.
Liu Yujia was also amazed by the good looks of the smartphone, the Qianshan green color was very pretty and eye-catching.
Actually, the reason the four girls thought the phone was so beautiful was not only because the findN3 really had good looks but mainly because of its high price filter.
It’s like those luxury brand bags—if no one told you it was a certain brand, you might not even give it a second glance. But if someone tells you the bag is worth a hundred thousand, inexplicably, you might start to think that the bag does indeed look pretty, and it appears so high-end!
This is what’s known as the “money filter.”
And this money filter can be applied not only to objects but also to people.
Take Mrs. Ma for example. Without the money filter, most women wouldn’t give him a second look.
But because he is Mrs. Ma, in the eyes of women, he’s even more handsome than Yan Zhu!
Kang Village.
A small village located 25 kilometers away from Henghe County.
This village is quite large, with nearly a thousand households, but the majority of those left in the village nowadays are middle-aged and elderly people.
The younger generation has almost all gone out to study or work and this is the situation for thousands of other villages as well.
According to last year’s “Population Prediction Report,” in another twenty years, the number of villages in the country will be halved, and the population will concentrate in the larger cities within the region, such as second-tier cities like Jiangcheng.
Jiang Shuhui lived in three old-fashioned bungalows; while the yard was quite big and she had planted quite a lot of vegetables.
“Yang, sit for a while before you go.”
“It’s fine, Qiqi’s watching over things at the hospital.”
Jiang Shuhui warmly invited Yang Hao into the house.
Her husband, Liu Guangfu, was an honest-to-goodness farmer. Due to working in the fields year-round, he was dark-skinned and looked rather old for his age—though in his forties, he could be mistaken for a man in his fifties.
However, he had a fairly handsome face with strong, well-defined muscles, giving him a rugged kind of beauty.
Knowing that Yang Hao was Jiang Yuqi’s boyfriend, Liu Guangfu was also very welcoming, making Yang Hao a cup of tea with a large porcelain cup.
“Yang, our rural conditions are not as good as in the city, please feel free to make yourself at home.”
Liu Guangfu’s face was brimming with a sincere smile, looking quite naïve.
Yang Hao was not a fussy person; as he drank his tea, he looked around at the furnishings in the house.
With Hua Country’s development to this day, the truly impoverished population is actually quite small, and most rural living conditions are not bad, sometimes even better than cities.
However, the Liu family’s conditions really were not good, the house was tidy but the furniture and appliances were very old and worn.
When at the hospital, Jiang Yuqi had briefly explained to Yang Hao about her aunt’s family situation. Until last year, they had always been supporting two children in school, which one can imagine was quite a strain for a rural family living off farming.
Only this year, now that the elder daughter starting her final year at the vocational school had begun working to earn money, did the couple’s financial burden somewhat lessen.
Life was already quite difficult for them, yet they had unselfishly gone to Jiangcheng to help take care of eldest sister, Jiang Shuyun. The affection between sisters is one thing, but this also reflected their good character, maintaining a kind of simple honesty that is rarely found in rural folk.
Adhering to the principle of good deeds being rewarded, Yang Hao decided to bring some warmth to this honest and kind family.
Their daughter was studying and staying in a dormitory in Henghe County, which was, of course, a reluctant choice. If they had a house in Henghe, Jiang Shuhui could go there to accompany and take care of her, and it wouldn’t be a problem to come back to the village to help with the farming during the busy seasons.
So, Yang Hao took Jiang Shuhui’s ID card on the pretext of buying a ticket to Jiangcheng and then drove back to Henghe County.
After he left the Liu family, Jiang Shuhui began to pack her luggage.
“You’re leaving for a month, and I’m not sure if you’ll make it back in time for the early rice fertilization.”
Liu Guangfu was naturally a bit emotional about his wife going to Jiangcheng, feeling that she was making a mountain out of a molehill.
“Qiqi has to work, and with big sister’s situation, someone should be nearby to look after her. It just so happens that the early rice has also been planted, so why not go help out? Otherwise, Yang would have to spend money to hire someone.”
“Then why go to Jiangcheng? Isn’t it also good in Henghe?” Liu Guangfu didn’t understand.
“It seems that big sister will settle in Jiangcheng in the future, after all, with Qiqi and Hai there, it’s inconvenient for her to be alone in our hometown.”
“Settling in Jiangcheng?”
“That house isn’t cheap!” Liu Guangfu was quite astonished.
“Yang should be quite wealthy. Just now when I went to see Yujia, he even gave her a smartphone, probably worth two or three thousand!”
“A smartphone as a gift on their first meeting??” Liu Guangfu exclaimed in shock.
“It seems Yang felt I wouldn’t take money, so he gave Yujia a little gift, which was entirely unnecessary.”
“But since he gave it, it’s a token of his good intentions.”
Liu Guangfu nodded slightly, “Qiqi’s boyfriend seems to be a decent guy!”
“I also think he’s quite nice.”
Jiang Shuhui echoed this sentiment as she finished packing the clothes she needed.
Seeing this, Liu Guangfu pulled his wife’s arm and said with a chuckling smile, “Shuhui, you’re leaving tomorrow, let’s rest early today!”
“Behave~”
Jiang Shuhui rolled her eyes in response to the man, but she still drew the curtains and double locked the room door.
Possibly because his wife was leaving tomorrow, Liu Guangfu, the sturdy farmer, was especially enthusiastic tonight, toiling from a little past eight until after ten. Although there were breaks, the two rounds still left him quite exhausted, lying in bed and breathing heavily.
“Look at you, acting like there’s no tomorrow, and at your age too…”
Jiang Shuhui, who was forty that year, was in her prime and thoroughly enjoying herself.
Just then, she received a video call from her daughter.
Liu Yujia usually finished her self-study at nine forty, so she often called or sent Weixin messages to her parents after ten.
Jiang Shuhui quickly put on her pajamas and then answered the video call, “Yujia, finished with evening self-study?”
“Mom, I have something to tell you.” Liu Yujia appeared serious in the video.
“Hmm, what is it?”
Jiang Shuhui furrowed her brow subconsciously, thinking her daughter had encountered something serious.
“The smartphone Brother-in-law gave me is worth more than ten thousand!”
“Ah?”
“A smartphone worth more than ten thousand??”

Jiang Shuhui was shocked, and even the bare-shouldered Liu Guangfu sat up abruptly, “What kind of phone is it, costing over ten thousand?”
“Even if I tell you the model, you wouldn’t know it, but it’s just a phone worth over ten thousand.”
“Mom, is my brother-in-law really rich?”
Liu Yujia asked curiously.
“It seems pretty rich.” Jiang Shuhui nodded.
“No wonder.”
“I was thinking, he looks just like those dominating CEO uncles in TV dramas.” Liu Yujia sighed, then added, “Mom, when you see brother-in-law tomorrow, help me thank him again. My classmates are all envious of me.”
“Let’s leave it at that, I’m going to wash up.”
Liu Yujia hung up, looking delighted.
Jiang Shuhui was stunned for a while before speaking to her husband, “I told you I was going to take care of big sister, and you were unhappy about it!”
“Look how generous Yang is!”
“I didn’t say you shouldn’t go, just felt it was too much hassle.” Liu Guangfu rubbed his hands, feeling emotional, “Our girl is now using a phone worth over ten thousand, and I haven’t even seen one before!”
On the other side.
Yang Hao found a hotel near Henghe County Central Hospital.
Then he bought some fruits and snacks and delivered them to the hospital room.
Jiang Yuqi was going to stay there for the night, Yang Hao chatted with mother and daughter for a while and then went back to the hotel to sleep.
However, in the middle of the night, his young maid took advantage of Jiang Shuyun being asleep and came to the hotel for a comfortable time.
The reason being that there were many people handing out cards in the small county’s hotels, and Jiang Yuqi was afraid that the lascivious boss wouldn’t resist the temptation to order ‘outcall’ services, so she proactively provided a delivery service.
“Do you think I’m the type who is desperate for anything?”
After hearing the young maid’s reason, Yang Hao was quite speechless.
He admitted to being lecherous, that was a man’s nature!
Women often asked online at what age men stop being lecherous.
The answers were always, “When you’re hanging on the wall!”
Not to mention, there are always a good number of older men who suddenly die during pleasure, right on top of the masseuses.
Similar news stories were also common.
Fat Peng’s distant uncle passed away during fun time after taking a little blue pill, especially since his heart wasn’t very good. It was a close call that didn’t kill his aunt from anger, turning into the town’s laughing stock.
“Yang, I trust you.”
“But I don’t trust it~!”
The young maid pursed her lips and then stared at that treasure capable of four changes, saying, “Behave yourself, don’t get big unless it’s for me~”
