Chapter 99 Unaccustomed Days of Abundance After hearing what A Niang said, Su Chen did not and Junior Sister Jin Yue were not close, but after saving her life, he met her more often. But, it seems like I didn’t really feel anything. "Mom, if brother and sister Jin are attracted to each other, I think they are a good match. My brother is handsome and sister Jin is beautiful. Don't always bring up family background. It has nothing to do with the love between two people." The younger sister standing by was a little indignant, as if she felt that her mother was slandering the feelings between men and women. Hearing this, A'niang turned her head and looked at her. “You are still young, and you think everything is too simple. Do you really think that the term "well-matched" was made up by our ancestors? Your brother married a girl from a prominent family, so it's fine if people say he's marrying above his station. There is still a long time to go, and there will still be many discomforts in life."
It was obvious that A-niang's words did not convince my younger sister. However, Su Chen nodded, indicating that he understood A Niang's intention. "If you really have no interest in that girl, Xiao Chen, you should be careful about the social boundaries when you interact with her in the future. Women raised in wealthy families naturally know how to read people's expressions. If you just make your attitude clear, she will understand everything. There is no match between the two of you, so don't waste each other's time." After A Niang finished speaking, she didn't say any more about it. Then he walked into the house and took out a stack of banknotes. “The girl gave us half a street of shops as a reward for your life-saving grace. This month, those tenants started paying rent to us." Looking at the stack of banknotes in front of me, it is not a small amount. My mother and my younger sister are at home. No matter how extravagant their life is, it seems that they can never spend all their money. "Xiao Chen, think about how we should deal with this. Although it was a return for saving my life, Miss Jin gave too much." Su Chen nodded and said, "If I run into her in Tiangang City, I'll talk to Junior Sister Jin Yue about it. For now, I will accept Junior Sister Jin’s kindness.” Su Chen actually felt that Jin Yue’s reward was too generous. After returning to Tiangang City, talk to her and ask her to take some of her temper. However, Su Chen was still very grateful in his heart. In fact, I have always wanted my mother and younger sister to live a rich life.
During this time in Tiangang City, I have also earned a lot of credit. The money and property brought back were actually enough to make life better for my mother and younger sister. But to reach the current level, there is still more than a little gap. The three of them talked for a while and it was already noon. The younger sister suggested going to a restaurant to eat, and when the mother heard her say that, her face darkened slightly. A-niang still hopes that her younger sister will not learn to be arrogant and extravagant. Even though the family has suddenly become rich, she should still be simple. Seeing this, Su Chen hurriedly tried to smooth things over. He took the two of them to the restaurant, and when he went out, he also called guard Yin and two maids. Sometimes my mother is indeed a bit harsh on my younger sister. As a little girl, it was normal for her to be a little greedy, Su Chen thought. There’s nothing wrong with going out to eat something delicious. Along the way, Su Chen met many neighbors. The last time I came back, they all treated me coldly. This time, when Su Chen saw them, he still greeted them politely. These neighbors used to have very close relationships with each other. Before I went to Yunyang Sect, the neighbors often helped each other. The relationship is relatively harmonious. If Chen Xia hadn't told them about the stigma that Yunyang Sect had put on her, perhaps everyone's relationship would still be relatively harmonious. Hearing Su Chen's greeting, the neighbors no longer gave him a cold look. He looked up at Su Chen, without responding, and just left. Compared to before, they dare not give a bad face anymore. Now, half of the streets in Jiang'an City have fallen into Su Chen's hands. Deep down, he was probably still very dissatisfied with Su Chen. But when I think about it, I don’t dare to offend him. Jin Yue gave her family half a street of wealth at once, and her family's status in Jiang'an City took a big step forward. Moreover, he has the ability to buy half a street in Jiang'an City. Many people don’t know the strength and status of the Jin family, but they will make guesses. After much speculation, the Jin family is often praised more highly. Seeing that Su Chen's family had made friends with such a powerful force, any resentment in their hearts had to be suppressed.
Several people went to the restaurant. Now the deed to this restaurant is also in my home. When the restaurant owner saw Su Chen and his group, no matter what he thought, he could only come to greet them with a smile. Su Chen originally wanted Yin to guard them and have dinner together, but the three of them seemed to take these rules very seriously. In the end, I didn’t have dinner with Su Chen and the other two. The rule of not eating at the same table with the master has always been followed. After Junior Sister Jin Yue gave these land deeds to her family, the people of Jiang'an City did become much more polite to her family. But deep down, I'm afraid I still have all kinds of disgusting thoughts. Looking at his mother, she didn't seem to like the current situation very much. Now my family still has a bad reputation. Material conditions have indeed improved a lot, but the reputation is still relatively poor. The more stable the front line is, the more stable the cities in the rear will be. The entire Zhou Dynasty was surrounded by wilderness in the southwest, east and southeast directions. On the west and north sides, there are other dynasties. There is still some monster attacks on the south side of the city, but the pressure from monsters is much smaller. Therefore, there are many sects on the east, southeast, and southwest sides. The Yunyang Sect and Tiangang City are larger sects, so their defense lines are much longer. If these two sects can hold the front line, the Great Zhou Dynasty will not have too many problems facing attacks from monsters on the east and southeast sides. In the past few days, Su Chen has been at home accompanying his mother and younger sister. Looking at the orderly appearance of Jiang'an City, Su Chen felt that everything he had done on the front line was worth it. But now, I will no longer devote myself to the front line of defense as I did before. After learning a lesson, I will never give up on my cultivation strength. If you don't have the strength, you will still be treated harshly even though the environment in Tiangang City is much clearer. Not to mention the distant consequences, he must have suffered a lot from Ji Sheng. I have made countless contributions on the front line, and Tiangang City is going to reward me. It is very likely that Ji Sheng will directly refuse those rewards on his behalf. They will also find excuses, saying that their abilities are not worthy of those rewards. Giving yourself those relevant resources is a waste.
Su Chen is now more certain that he has not taken the wrong path. Just like this time, if I perform mediocrely in the mid-year test, what good does it matter if I have the ability to detect monsters? Having strength doesn't mean you're good at dealing with monsters. But if you don't have the strength, even if you are very good at dealing with monsters, others may still say you are not that good.
