Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1136 - 1135: Heaven’s Chosen One

Xu Ke was utterly bewildered by what he heard. He wanted to go out and ask for further details, but all he could do was stay here, and in his mind, he remembered the Xiao Family.

After Uncle Li left, Wang Cuixia sat on a rock, staring at Xu Ke’s window for a long time before finally withdrawing her gaze.

She didn’t know if this was the right thing to do, but if the Xiao Family came, Xu Ke might not even be able to become a vegetable.

Back in her youth, she was truly naive and ignorant, daring to use the child in her belly as a wager to do such things for the Xiao Family.

And now, the Xiao Family set their sights on her child. Despite being indifferent to this child for so many years, after all, he was part of her flesh.

No matter how indifferent she became, she knew that if the Xiao Family came to take Xu Ke away, she would definitely fight them with all she had.

As for the dignified Xu Family, they never intended to acknowledge this son. From the start to the end, they always rejected the mother and child, hence she didn’t plan to let Xu Ke acknowledge his ancestral roots either.

When Xu Ke woke in the morning, he saw Wang Cuixia at the pigsty, feeding the pigs. The pigs raised their snouts, devouring the pigweed, and surprisingly, Wang Cuixia’s eyes showed a rare hint of gentleness as she watched them.

"Eat up, once you’re fat, we’ll have meat for New Year."

Xu Ke ignored her, opened the door, grabbed a sickle, and went outside. He planned to renovate this room, since he needed a place to stay for the time being.

As for uncovering the secrets of this body, it would definitely have to wait for a while.

Wang Cuixia heard the door creak slightly and, upon seeing Xu Ke’s silhouette, anxiously chased after him. Remembering something, she pushed the door open and came back.

Luckily, a bamboo grove was not far from the house on the mountain. Xu Ke cut down all the bamboo and noticed unusually that his physical strength had indeed grown. He dragged all the bamboo back home.

Wang Cuixia saw this, opened her mouth to speak but remained silent.

When Wang Cuixia served breakfast, Xu Ke was too busy tidying up the house to eat. By evening, the bamboo house was finally completed.

Looking at the adjacent room, naturally Wang Cuixia lived there. Although there wasn’t much affection between them, truthfully, when he heard the words spoken last night, Xu Ke realized Wang Cuixia actually liked him.

So he decided to renovate Wang Cuixia’s room tomorrow when he climbs the mountain. Although it’s tiring, at least it’s safe to live in. Exhausted from the labor, he slept soundly that night.

After renovating Wang Cuixia’s room the next day, Xu Ke simply used straw to patch up the kitchen, which now looked quite alright.

Wang Cuixia must have noticed Xu Ke’s continuous efforts, as she tidied up the courtyard and even planted flowers in a corner.

Life seemed to be improving bit by bit.

After dinner, Wang Cuixia actively took up the dishes to wash, even boiled a big pot of hot water for Xu Ke to bathe.

"Life may be hard, but no matter what, it’s ours, and we must go on living slowly."

Wang Cuixia, unsure what to say, kept clutching onto the hem of her apron. After pondering for a long time, she finally spoke.

"About you having woken up, don’t tell anyone for now. Even if you go out, don’t go down the mountain. Just move between our house and Uncle Li’s. If anyone asks for your name, don’t say your current name, just say you’re called Wang Er."

After speaking, Wang Cuixia looked at Xu Ke unsurely: "Just remember Mom’s words. Don’t tell anyone your name, and hide when you see strangers."

Xu Ke was puzzled, about to ask why.

Wang Cuixia, seemingly fleeing, left, and after she exited, she sighed at Xu Ke’s door. This was all she could do now; as for the rest, it was up to fate.

Xu Ke was still a bit confused, but memories of the Xiao Family surfaced. Was Wang Cuixia doing this because of the legendary Xiao Family? But what exactly was his relation to them? Why was Wang Cuixia so afraid?

Xu Ke couldn’t figure this out but enjoyed a comfortable bath, alleviating the fatigue accumulated over the days.

Meanwhile, one night somewhere, the elder of the Xiao Family was gazing at the celestial morning star: "According to the fortune-teller, this year the boy’s disaster is supposed to pass. I heard before he had become a vegetable; now he ought to be waking up."

Hearing this from the elder, Xiao Zhen felt a shock like being electrocuted, staring at his father before him.

"Dad, what are you thinking? Do you really want to marry our Yiyi to that useless person?"

Xiao Zhen was a bit angry. He never stopped his daughter from dating, yet this old man had determined her marriage right upon birth.

Initially, he thought as time passed the old man would forget, but unexpectedly, his memory was so strong, and now he mentioned that boy.

"What useless person, heaven itself told us he’s a divinely favored child. You’ve blended into the business scene, but what do you know? Trust me. You’ll be surprised later, and besides that, although the boy is currently aimless, he’ll surely amaze you in the future."

Upon hearing the elder’s words, Xiao Zhen spurted his tea out. What was the old man thinking? Putting that person as someone who’ll amaze him, don’t make jokes.

"Look, don’t make such jokes anymore, and that fortune-teller is a mere charlatan. You even believe him. Additionally, what he said hasn’t come true; he claimed Yiyi wouldn’t live past eighteen, yet here she is, lively."

Hearing his son’s words, the elder straightened his expression: "Don’t say those things to me anymore. Yiyi’s survival until now is owed to the boy who bore Yiyi’s catastrophe; we should rather be grateful to him. Anyway, I’ve decided on this matter, and nobody can change it."

Seeing the elder’s resolution, Xiao Zhen knew his father, though no longer serving as chairman of Xiao Group, remained domineering.

Whenever the Xiao Family was concerned and the elder spoke, others never had room to intervene. He sighed heavily.

How could he, having raised his daughter with so much care, possibly let her marry a rural man? No way, he had to think of a plan.
