Su Jing replied: 【So many of your relatives are coming to see me! I'm practically a big star now! I'm so excited, lol~ hahaha】

That's the only way to reply.

if not?

Su Jing, who was always competitive, never lost a verbal battle.

Su Jing checked the time; it was time to make dinner. She opened the refrigerator, and a blast of cold air hit her. She rummaged around for a bit, but there wasn't much to eat.

Unlike in the city, you can't order takeout in the countryside.

But one good thing about the countryside is that everything is natural and organic, and you can get some fresh river food to eat.

Carrying the bucket, I went to the lotus pond outside the courtyard. I had set a few traps earlier and had been away for several days, so I should have some fish.

Su Jing took off his watch and placed it on the shore, then lay down, grabbed the fish trap, and lifted it up.

Several crucian carp, a lot of crayfish, and a soft-shelled turtle.

Just then, a BYD Qin Lu, displaying a ride-hailing sign, passed by. The driver, Liu Pin, glanced at it and remarked, "Wow, so much cargo."

Su Jing smiled and said, "Brother Pin, you're back. Let's have some river delicacies together tonight, and we'll also have a soft-shelled turtle to make soup for your wife."

Su Jing and Liu Pin had a good relationship in the village.

Before the arrival of the Godly Rich System, Liu Pin took great care of Su Jing. He was the one who taught Su Jing the skill of repairing leaks. Later, he went to do other things and asked Uncle Wang in the village to introduce Su Jing to some work, which led to the cruise ship leak repair job.

Previously, Su Jing was 300 yuan short of tuition fees. Liu Pin used the money he had saved from a hotel room with his ex-girlfriend to pay Su Jing's tuition fees, while he took his ex-girlfriend to play games in the wild.

True brothers!

"Bring it to my house for a meal. You can have some old hen soup, which will be good for you and your sister-in-law to nourish yourselves."

"Uh... okay."

During his senior year of high school, Su Jing made sure he got enough nutrition. Because whenever Su Jing was home during his sister-in-law's pregnancy and delivery, Liu Pin would ask him to have postpartum meals with her.

Su Jing cleaned the fish and shrimp right there by the lotus pond, then went home and brought the Shanghai specialties that Xiao Ge had bought for him to Liu Pin's house.

My sister-in-law, Wang Yue, was in the yard putting the child to sleep when she called out, "Xiao Jing is here."

"Hello, sister-in-law. These are some Shanghai specialties I brought for you and Brother Pin."

"Why be so polite?"

"Of course."

Wang Yue glanced at the river delicacies in the bucket: "Wow, there are crayfish! That's great! I'm so sick of eating postpartum meals every day. Xiao Jing, you understand your sister-in-law."

"I'm glad you like it, sister-in-law. I'll go help Brother Pin now."

Su Jing brought the seafood to the kitchen.

Pin Ge was chopping chicken when he saw Su Jing arrive. He put down the cleaver, took out a red envelope from his bag, and handed it to her.

"You got into university! As your older brother, I've prepared a red envelope for you. Here you go!"

The red envelope was very thick, containing about 6000 yuan.

"Thank you, Brother Pin."

Su Jing knew he was trying to find different ways to pay her tuition, so she only took 200 yuan and put it in her pocket, then stuffed the rest back into his pocket.

"What do you mean? You look down on me, huh? Here, take it."

"Just a token is fine. I appreciate your kind gesture, Brother Pin. I've covered my tuition. If I need more money, I'll ask you again."

"Fine, if you need money, then say so."

"Okay, Brother Pin, do you need me to help out?"

"Peel the garlic."

"Okay."

……

As the sun sets, wisps of smoke rise.

In the courtyard, a table was laden with a sumptuous feast.

Su Jingchao said into the house, "Sister-in-law, dinner's ready."

Wang Yue took a pot of plum juice out of the refrigerator and poured a glass for Su Jing: "Try it, it's made by your sister-in-law."

Liu Pin: "Xiao Jing wants to drink beer with me, who's going to drink yours?"

"I drink everything, anyway, I can't hold my liquor."

Su Jing can't hold his liquor; he can only manage two beers before getting drunk.

I was drinking champagne with the four kids before, and one bottle was enough for five people, so it wasn't much.

Su Jing took a sip of plum juice soup.

Ding--

A reward was suddenly triggered.

The agile tongue triggered a fruit-themed attack (3/3)

[Reward: 300 million RMB cash reward]

I rely on!

The last chance came from my sister-in-law's plum juice soup.

Name: Plum Juice Soup

Ingredients: 20g dried plum, 20g hawthorn, 5g licorice root, rock sugar, 5 drops of milk.

Su Jing gulped it down in one go.

Wang Yue: "Is it good?"

"It's delicious, even better than what you buy outside. It's so creamy and fragrant. Did you add milk, sister-in-law?"

No, it wasn't added.

Su Jing was puzzled, but the recipe said five drops of milk.

My sister-in-law suddenly gave an awkward smile, realizing that the dish was made for feeding a baby and that some of the milk might have splashed in, adding to the flavor.

Liu Pin raised his glass to his wife: "Come on, Xiao Jing, have a drink. You got into a good university, you'll definitely make something of yourself in the future."

"Thank you, Brother Pin; thank you, Sister-in-law. I'll drink it."

Su Jing just said the same thing, "I did it," she really couldn't say many nice things.

Just then, a family of three passed by the Liu family's house. A middle-aged man saw Su Jing and said, "We were just looking for you. Here you are."

The people who came were Su Jing's uncle, aunt, and cousin.

Su Jing ignored him and continued eating the crayfish.

The uncle walked up to him and said, "Xiao Jing, what's your thought about what I told you before?"

The eldest uncle's family and Su Jing's family live back to back. The eldest uncle's family wants to build a house. In fact, their family's land plot is already very large, but they want Su Jing to give them the land plot so they can build a large detached house with a courtyard.

"There's no use keeping your old, dilapidated bungalow. I'll give it up. I'm building a new house, and I'll leave you two rooms. We're all family, and I'm doing this for your own good."

Su Jing knew his uncle's character better than anyone else.

They were just trying to trick Su Jing into handing over the homestead.

If you actually give it to him, he'll not only refuse to keep two rooms, but he'll also set dogs on the ground to bite people as soon as they enter.

"I disagree, don't even think about it."

"Say it again!"

Liu Pin hurriedly went up to persuade his uncle.

Aunt: "I must be blind to have such a good-for-nothing nephew like you."

Liu Pin spoke up: "Xiao Jing is promising; she got into a top-tier university. Su Cheng, where did you get into?"

Cousin Su Cheng scoffed, "So what if he's a first-tier university? It's not like he's from Tsinghua or Peking University. Pshaw, what future can a quiet guy like Su Jing have?"

Liu Pin: "You think you're so successful?"

Su Cheng: "Of course I'm more successful than him. We went to the same school, you guys don't know, right? We had a school beauty named Xue Ningyao, and Su Jing was such a simp for her, but she didn't even acknowledge him. He really disgraced the Su family!"

Wang Yue couldn't stand it anymore: "Su Cheng, stop spreading rumors."

Su Cheng: "You don't believe me, right? Fine, I'll call Xue Ningyao right now to verify, and let you know that our Su family produced such a disgraceful and conspicuous thing as Su Jing."

Su Jing called Xue Ningyao.

He was Wang Xiaoyu's lackey, so naturally he was familiar with Wang's girlfriend.

The phone rang, and the other party answered immediately: "Su Cheng."

Su Cheng was stunned for a moment. Why did the beautiful Xue answer so quickly today, and with such a nice tone?

Could it be that you like me?

If so, he is willing to betray Wang Xiaoyu.

Su Cheng stared at Su Jing, who was engrossed in eating crayfish, and asked, "Miss Xue, back at the karaoke bar, did Su Jing know you were Wang Xiaoyu's girlfriend, yet he still fawned over you?"

Xue Ningyao: "First of all, Wang Xiaoyu is not my boyfriend. I have always treated him like an older brother. My relationship with him is innocent. Secondly, Su Jing did not fawn over me. It is I who like Su Jing."

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"I'm not lying. You're Su Jing's cousin. Since you've met him, please pass on the message that I like him. Thank you."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Su Cheng was stunned.

what's going on?

Do you like Su Jing, this taciturn guy?

"It must be because Miss Xue is trying to save face for Su Jing that she said that. Who would like a taciturn guy like him?"

beep-

At this moment, someone made a video call to Su Jing.

Everyone looked up and saw the name—[Tong Mengxi].
