After I left home with a broken heart, my whole family begged me to come back

Chapter 36 Encountering the Goddess
Xie Chen said so, the old village chief did not persuade him anymore, and half-heartedly accepted Xie Chen's red envelope, "Okay, I'll take you to see who else has a house to sell in the afternoon."

Xie Chen quickly thanked him.

……

In the old house of the Su family, Su Yu looked down at the chessboard in front of him. The battle between the red and green chess pieces was in a stalemate.

Opposite Su Yu, the old man of the Su family was humming a little tune happily, and he seemed to be in a good mood. "Hurry up! Why are you so slow in making moves?"

Su Yu smiled bitterly, "Dad, your chess skills have become more and more perfect. I am willing to admit that you are better than me."

Su Yu surrendered, and Su He, the old man of the Su family, felt disappointed. "Alas, I am old now, and I just love playing chess. I want to find someone who can play on equal terms with me. Why is it so difficult?"

Su Yu didn't respond.

Su He felt it was boring and changed the subject, "Why did you suddenly decide not to do the resort project?"

Su Yu paused while packing up the chess pieces, "Something went wrong."

"Oh?" Su He raised his eyebrows. "Something went wrong at this critical moment? Maybe someone with ulterior motives is trying to ruin our project!"

Su Yu paused while he was packing up the chessboard, then chuckled, "Dad, I sent someone to check, and there is indeed a problem."

Su He has been fighting in the business world for many years and is suspicious by nature. He always thinks twice before anything happens.

Su He then nodded and picked up the cup of Mingqian Longjing tea and sipped it carefully.

"Just now, you and Xuxu were out for quite a long time." Su He said lazily, "I heard from Xuxu that you met an interesting person?"

Su Yu nodded, "Well, he is indeed a very interesting person."

Su Yu briefly told him about Xie Chen's reminder to pay attention to the resort project and the situation he encountered when Xie Chen purchased a house in the village.

Su He half-closed his eyes, gently stroking the teacup with his palm, and after a while he chuckled, "Interesting."

He is just a senior high school student, but he knows some inside information that none of them know.

"See if there are any other families in the village who want to sell their houses. We'll buy them all." Su He curved his eyebrows and smiled a bit cunningly.

Su Yu hummed lightly, and a gleam of brilliance flashed across his eyes.

The houses in the village were favored by this little guy. What great development potential does this place have?
……

With the help of the old village chief, Xie Chen bought two more courtyards and left the village contentedly.

Now, he has three yards and a house, and he finally has a sense of security.

As long as I can pay off Lu Yuanyuan's money in half a year, I will be able to do things more freely after going to college.

Xie Chen took the bus when he came here, but when he went back, he was not so extravagant and planned to take the bus.

I saw the bus stop at the entrance of the village from a distance, and there was a person standing under the bus stop.

Seeing the other person here, Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, then he smiled at the other person and walked over, "Classmate Song Xue, what a coincidence."

Song Xue did not expect to meet Xie Chen at this time and place. A trace of discomfort flashed across her eyes. "Classmate Xie Chen, it's... what a coincidence."

Xie Chen glanced at Song Xue. Song Xue was still wearing her washed-out sportswear, carrying a similarly washed-out canvas bag, and wearing a pair of canvas shoes with yellowed soles.

"Student Song Xue, are you going home?" Xie Chen asked uncertainly.

Song Xue hummed softly, "We have guests at home, and they need to stay today. My room is not big enough, so I'm going back to school today."

When Song Xue said this, she didn't dare to look Xie Chen in the eye.

The visitors were all lies. There was no room for her at home. This weekend, because she had no money to eat, she chose to go home to ask for money.

But her biological mother was not at home, only her stepfather was at home.

The money was not paid, but Song Xue was almost humiliated by her stepfather...

Song Xue didn't dare to stay at home any longer, and ran out with her canvas bag on her back.

"Is your home in this village?" Xie Chen looked back at the village he had just walked out of.

Song Xue lowered her eyes and responded with a low "yes".

Xie Chen's expression suddenly became complicated.

He had just come out of this village and had heard from the village chief that the people in this village had a very high happiness index.

But looking at Song Xue's appearance, she seems to be still struggling on the poverty line. How can she be happy at all?
"That's great, let's get together and go back to school together!" Xie Chen didn't continue thinking about those trivial things.

Song Xue nodded, tightly grasped the strap of her backpack, and began to look anxiously in the direction where the bus was coming.

However, even though Song Xue was looking forward to it, there was still no sign of the bus arriving.

The bus didn't come, but a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard drove over in a hurry on an electric tricycle.

When Song Xue saw the figure of the middle-aged man, her face suddenly changed and her body began to tremble imperceptibly.

Xie Chen frowned and looked in the direction Song Xue was looking. He saw the middle-aged man casually parked the electric tricycle in front of Song Xue.

"Nier, today is only Saturday, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Come home with dad!" The middle-aged man looked at Song Xue wantonly, and while speaking, he reached out to pull Song Xue.

Song Xue was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She immediately exploded and fell down. She fought desperately, "I won't go back. Let go!"

Xie Chen was stunned.

Didn’t the other person claim to be Song Xue’s father?

Why did Song Xue react like this?
Could it be that he encountered a human trafficker?
"You haven't been home for three weeks. You finally came back, but you're leaving without even staying at home for a night?" The man still held Song Xue's hand tightly, with no intention of letting go.

"I said, I want to go back to school! Let me go!" Song Xue was anxious. This man had no sense of propriety or shame.

My mother is not at home now, and I don’t know what will happen if I follow this man home.

"Let her go!" Xie Chen finally realized something was wrong and spoke in a deep voice.

The middle-aged man did not loosen his grip, and glanced at Xie Chen with hostility in his eyes, "Ni'er, who is he? Are you dating someone at school?"

Damn, you little slut, let others do it instead of him.

"I'm her classmate." Xie Chen said coldly, "Let go of your hand first."

The other party claimed to be Song Xue’s father, but how could a father treat his daughter in this way?
Xie Chen only knew that Song Xue's family was not well off, but he didn't know the specific situation, so he didn't dare to rashly cause trouble with the other party.

"I want to take my daughter home to stay for one night. What does that have to do with you? Get out of here!" The middle-aged man cursed with a ferocious look on his face.

"She doesn't want to go home." Xie Chen said word by word, "If you do this again, I will call the police."

"Call the police? Ha, the police can't interfere in my family affairs!" The middle-aged man did not take Xie Chen's threat seriously.
