Perhaps it was for this reason that he had always been angry at Xue Dagui for being a rascal, but he had never hated him.

The family members were also angry at Xue Dagui’s rascal type behavior, but they did not hate him.

However, Zhang Meili was different from him. Her family hated her.

This was because Xue Dagui would still care about his father’s feelings. Although he was a scoundrel and went overboard sometimes, he would never push things to the extreme. Zhang Meili, on the other hand, won’t care about feelings at all. She only knew how to take and take and never give.

Thinking of this, Xue Yan couldn’t help but think that Xue Dagui would die soon.

In his previous life, his grandfather’s health had started to deteriorate. It was all because of this that he lost his precious children. He had been so sad and suffered too much trauma it led him to his death.

“What’s wrong with you?” Suddenly, Jiang Yue pulled him back.

“Ah? It’s nothing.” He said with a smile. He was about to continue walking home when he realized that he was too focused on his own matters. Unknowingly, he had walked to a tree and was about to hit it.

If Jiang Yue hadn’t pulled him back, he would have already crashed into the tree.

Xue Yan was speechless. He was almost crushed by a tree on the mountain, and now he almost willingly hit a tree.

“Walk properly.” After saying that, Jiang Yue ignored him and left.

Xue Yan quickly went around the tree and caught up with her.

Fortunately, no one else saw it.

Xue Yan coughed and touched his nose.

Jiang Yue glanced at him.

Xue Yan looked away, obviously more embarrassed than he should be. She could have stopped him earlier and not let him make a fool of himself, but she only stopped him when he was about to hit the tree. It was obviously intentional.

He could not help but look at her again.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see the corners of her mouth rise slightly.

For some reason, the corners of his mouth curled up as well.

When he got home, he washed his hands and started to eat dinner.

While Jiang Yue and the others were having dinner, some people were sitting at the entrance of a family in the village, chatting as they ate.

They were talking about the Xue family buying five acres of barren land today. Someone’s eyes immediately widened from the gossip. “What’s wrong with this rich family? How can they be so rich? That’s ten silver, and they bought land just like that? Even if you have money, you can’t waste it like this, right?”

“It seems like the blind bear was sold for more than a hundred silver.”

Wang Sufen was here, for obvious reasons. She immediately shouted excitedly, “How can it be more than a hundred? I heard it with my own ears. It’s definitely only a hundred silver!”

“Then maybe he saved some money before and took it out this time.” Someone said.

Everyone agreed.

“I didn’t expect a family like that to save that much money. Look at how hard they worked to support Xue Yan’s education. Their houses are so dilapidated, and there are several people living in the kitchen. They can’t even bear to eat the vegetables they grow. They just send them to town to sell. I really thought they were dirt poor.”

“Yeah, we all thought their family was the poorest in the village! But now… poor my *ss! Turns out that they’re super rich! Yet so st*pid to take out ten silver to buy barren land. Who knows how much money they have left.”

“I think Xue Yan and Jiang Yue wanted to play with the barren land, so they bought it. You know that Dafu always pampers their little ones. When Yifu and the others were young, Dafu and Guixia gave them whatever they wanted as long as they could.”
