Hence, He Yufeng started chatting with the villagers. They chatted for a while before asking them about Su Li and her children.

When the villagers saw that He Yufeng was not as stern as before and was still willing to talk to them, they started to gossip with him.

“He Yufeng, weren’t you quite poor when you split up? Why did you suddenly become rich? I think your wallets should be very bulging now.”

Someone spoke, and the people beside him lit up with curiosity. They said one after another, “That’s right. Did you discover a way to make money? Otherwise, why would you suddenly build a house?!” novelbuddy .com

“You can’t be stingy. If you really have any connections, tell us and let us make a little money too. Otherwise, we won’t be able to live like this!”

“That’s right. Look at how everyone is living. All of us are thin and sallow. We don’t eat much or wear warm clothes every day. If you have any connections, you have to tell us!”

It wasn’t like they didn’t know what kind of life He Yufeng’s family had led in the past. Although He Yufeng was better at earning money, all the money had been plundered by his mother. His pockets were probably cleaner than his face. Why were they building a house not long after they separated?

They had been curious about this question for a long time, but they had been thinking about it silently in their hearts. They had never dared to run to He Yufeng and ask him. After all, He Yufeng’s cold expression was quite scary, especially since Su Li looked so fierce. She would punch them twice if they disagreed.

They might not be able to find out the news later, and they might even be injured. In the end, all their efforts would be in vain. Moreover, they could not afford to offend someone like Su Li. Others might use their mouths but not their hands, but she would really use her hands!

The corners of He Yufeng’s mouth twitched when he heard their words. He knew that their construction of a house would definitely arouse the curiosity of the villagers, but he had already thought of this question. At this moment, he did not need to think too much and spoke.

“There’s no way. I just caught a few more valuable prey on the mountain a while ago. I was lucky and happened to meet a benefactor. He paid a high price to buy them, so I had some silver.”

“Moreover, you know that our house is not home at all. It can’t shelter us from the wind and rain. Now that the children are gradually growing up, it won’t be good if we don’t have a place to shelter ourselves from the wind and rain!”

According to Su Li’s thoughts, she didn’t want the villagers to know that she was the one who sold soap to Exquisite Pavilion. Firstly, she didn’t want others to be jealous. Secondly, she wanted to keep a low profile. As the saying went, one shouldn’t reveal one’s wealth.

Although she was not afraid of others being jealous, she was afraid of trouble. If someone came to look for them from time to time, she would be annoyed to death every day.

He Yufeng agreed with Su Li’s thoughts. It was never wrong to keep a low profile. He knew better than anyone what the villagers were like. They couldn’t bear to see anyone living better than them. As long as you lived well, they would be jealous. Some people would even trip you.

The villagers nodded when they heard He Yufeng’s words. The place they lived in was indeed not very good. It was not as sturdy as their pigpen. However, this was not an excuse for He Yufeng to fool them. Could he earn money by hunting a few more valuable prey? Who was he kidding?!

“What kind of prey is so profitable? You’re not coaxing us, are you?”

“That’s right! Why didn’t you make so much money when you hunted in the past? Besides, we didn’t see you drag your prey out!”

“That’s true. There’s nothing you can do if you don’t believe me!”

When the villagers saw He Yufeng’s expression, telling them that he couldn’t do anything if they didn’t believe him. They stopped harping on this question and began to ask about other things.

“By the way, didn’t your wife do some work previously? I heard that she even earned a lot of money. Is that true?”

He Yufeng said, “She’s just messing around!”

When the villagers heard this, their faces were filled with agreement. They looked like they knew it. “I knew it. She’s just a woman. Why would she start a business? She’s just playing games like children!”

“That’s right. I heard that she even hired the village chief’s wife. I wonder if she gave her salary.”

He Yufeng glanced at that person and said coldly, “We never go back on our

word.”

The villager nagged again, “You’re the only one who dotes on her. If it were my wife, I would immediately divorce her with a divorce letter. Otherwise, why would I keep such a woman for the new year?”

He Yufeng’s expression immediately darkened when he heard the villager’s words. He said, “She’s very good. She’s worth it!”

Su Li was indeed very good now. She was so good that he felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart. He was afraid that Su Li would abandon them that day!

The villager snorted and said, “Only you are stupid. If it was someone else, it would be different.’

“That’s right, that’s right. I’m telling you, women have to be beaten up. They’ll be obedient after one or two beatings. You’re treating her too well!”

He Yufeng’s face flashed with impatience. He didn’t have the patience to continue chatting with them. If they continued chatting, he felt that he would hit someone.

He didn’t want to continue this topic with them, so he asked, “Have you seen Dahu and Erhu?”

The villager shook his head and said, “I didn’t see him!”

They really didn’t see it. Although everyone was in town, Su Li was in a bustling area. The villagers wouldn’t go that way at all.

When He Yufeng heard this news, he felt a little disappointed. He wondered if Su Li had taken the children away.

As soon as this thought appeared, he immediately rejected it. Not to mention whether Su Li would do such a thing, the two children would not abandon him and run away with Su Li. He was still confident in this!

He Yufeng waited at the village entrance for a while more, but there was still no sign of Su Li and the others on the way. He Yufeng’s disappointment grew.

After a while, there was still no sign of them at the village entrance. He stood up and decided not to wait anymore. He would go home and finish his work first before preparing the food. In the past, Su Li would complain that she was hungry the moment she returned home. Later…

No, everything he did was for the sake of the two children. The main reason was that he was afraid that when the two children returned, they would be hungry and there would be food as soon as they returned. Everything he did was for the sake of the two children!

He would never admit that he didn’t mean what he said…

He Yufeng returned home and did some work for a while. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he started to wash his hands and cook.

A wisp of smoke drifted out of their thatched house, adding a trace of smoke to the originally quiet place.

He Yufeng looked at the flames in the stove in a daze. Without Su Li’s voice and the two children’s noise at home, there seemed to be something missing.. It was as if the world had quietened down, making him feel that he was the only one in this huge place!
