“I’ve been here for a while.”
“How was I supposed to know when you move around so stealthily?”
Zhou Hengyang glanced at her but said nothing. Still, it was more than enough for Su Wen to sense his disdain.
He must have thought she was too unobservant.
Su Wen was so annoyed that she tossed the thought of getting fresh air to the back of her mind. She pushed Zhou Hengyang away, saying, “Make way. Don’t block the path.”
She was going to draw her lot.
Zhou Hengyang naturally made way.
Su Wen plucked a lot from the proffered box, not feeling a hint of nervousness despite the situation. She nearly cackled when she checked the lot she drew.
Her luck was phenomenal!
“Those are all barren mountains!” Zhou Hengyang frowned in confusion. He shot a few discreet looks at the assembled crowd, his expression turning stormy.
The lots were arranged according to the seating order, with Su We in front. While it may have appeared as luck to most, few knew that the lots were predetermined. Events were unfolding unscripted, and he refused to believe that nothing fishy was happening behind the scenes.
“It’s fine.” Su Wen knew there was a problem with the lot she had drawn but did not want to pursue the matter. Recently, she found herself in the public eye because of a series of disputes. She did not mind taking a small loss if it meant she could avoid trouble involving the division of land.
The land allotted to her was by no means terrible. It was no great loss since she did not know how to work the rice paddies, let alone the dry, sandy soil of the barren mountains. Besides, the Su family’s aspirations were far greater than the humble life of honest formwork.
Su Wen was determined to ensure her business succeeded.
Why should she care about a little piece of land when her business took off, and she became successful? By then, it would not matter if she had been cheated she could buy as much land as she wanted!
Su Wen was not being generous or a pushover; she simply knew where her priorities lay. The barren mountains provided her with another opportunity that suited her goals better.
The barren mountains had gone to Sun Yunyun’s family in the novel. There, they discovered several tea trees of considerable age—one gram of tea leaves from those trees sold for around a thousand yuan.
Sun Yunyun’s family relied on those ancient tea trees to make a fortune.
Therefore, Su Wen did not see the allocation of those barren mountains as a loss. Instead, she saw them as a treasure chest full of gold.
Best of all? It had fallen right into her lap!
Su Wen nearly pumped her fists in victory. For the first time since she transmigrated, she was getting the treatment the protagonist of a story should get.
Su Wen was giddy with joy.
She had not dared dream about those ancient tea trees on the barren mountains since she believed they would remain out of her grasp. Yet, just as she was drawing lots, her mind wandered to the possibility, and almost as if fate had willed it, she got exactly what she had thought about.
That was why she had nearly burst into laughter earlier.
Not only was she happy to receive the land she wanted most, but she also managed to deprive Sun Yunyun of an advantage the latter could have used against her.
The hustle and bustle of the event was disrupted by the appearance of an off-road vehicle speeding into Trinity Village. In the driver’s seat was Xu Xiaoxiao. Seated beside him in the front passenger seat was Liu Chun. The third was a surprise.
It was Sun Yunyun.
As soon as the vehicle entered the village, it attracted a group of children. Many villagers had never seen a car, while some older folk, who had never visited the capital, hobbled over to get a better look.
“It’s Sun Yunyun and the others!”
The backseat window was open, allowing the onlookers to see who was in the car.
“Yunyun, is this your classmate?” A voice sounded a question on everyone’s mind.
“Yunyun, is that a car you’re sitting in? Can you let us sit in it too?” A child clung to the car and refused to let go.
Pleased with the attention, Sun Yunyun preened, her posture straightening and pride filling her form. Demurely, she said to Xu Xiaoxiao, “Big Brother Xu, I’m sorry for causing you trouble. Those in the village live simple, rustic lives in the countryside, so they’re unfamiliar with many things.”
Sun Yunyun did not forget to show off while using her fellow villagers as stepping stones to highlight her uniqueness..
