Chapter 171 Not Let Him Go
Liao Pingan recalled the scene when Mianmian came.
He was busy delivering a baby horse when Xiao Bao came back in a huff, saying that Liao Jian had sent someone to visit him. Everyone was indignant, saying that the visit was definitely a pretense and that they might be there to cause trouble, so no one paid any more attention to it.
It wasn't until the girl loudly proclaimed that she could restore the horse's health that he had no choice but to go and see. To his surprise, the girl was not lying; she not only saved his horse but also led them to this paradise!
Later, I completely forgot to ask what exactly happened to Liao Jian.
Before I could finish thinking, the man had already scrambled over, shouting, "Nephew! You really got brought in! Hahaha, I'll never be beaten up again, and I'll never have to live a miserable life again, hahaha!"
He had a face covered in bruises and was banging on the door.
Liao Pingan took a few steps back. "Why are you like this?"
In my memory, this uncle was always very arrogant, always dressed in an elegant and domineering manner whenever we met. Since he entered Taoyuan earlier than me, he should be doing quite well, so how could he be in such a sorry state?
Liao Jian ignored him and pounded on the door. "Jiang Mianmian! Come out here! I don't want to guard the door anymore, find me somewhere else! You've already taken over the horse farm, you can't go back on your word! Hurry up!"
The courtyard gate was opened, but it wasn't Jiang Mianmian who came, but the woman called Xiu Niang.
"You'd better get lost, or I'll call for help right now! Don't you know Mianmian is busy? Besides, you have no right to tell her what to do! Get lost!"
After a flurry of words, Liao Jian dared not shout anymore. With a bitter face, he said, "Good embroiderer, please plead for me! I really can't take it anymore. They pick fights with me every day! Please help me, brother, since we're both slaves, okay?"
Xin Xiuniang shouted at the top of her lungs, "Liao Jian is here! Someone come and take him away!"
"No, no, no, I'll leave, okay?"
Liao Jian ran away, scrambling and stumbling.
Liao Ping'an finally pieced together a clue, "Miss, may I ask what you mean by saying you are slaves?"
“We are slaves here, you are residents, it’s different.”
Xin Xiuniang explained it to him in detail, and then went back to continue guarding Jiang Mianmian.
Liao Ping'an finally understood. It turned out that Mianmian was able to find him because of Liao Jian! It's just that Liao Jian was shameless enough to use his horse farm as a favor to get her to give him an easier job!
I even call him uncle, yet he repeatedly disregards my own life and death!
He returned with a sullen face. Liao Xiaobao and the others had just walked around the horse farm and were still very excited. "Dad, our horse farm is much bigger than before! And those stables, they look the same, but they're much sturdier. Sister is so amazing! And... Dad, why aren't you happy?"
"Xiao Bao, go check if the uncles and elders' living quarters are ready."
Liao Ping'an casually made up an excuse to send Xiao Bao away, then took Madam Liao's hand and told her all his speculations, "Ningxin, I'm sorry, Liao Jian has always wanted you... and now he's even eyeing the horse farm again, I will definitely not let him get away with this!"
"It's all in the past, it's okay, isn't everything fine now?"
Xu Ningxin smiled slyly, "He's a slave, we're residents, he can't harm us!"
"I won't let him get away with this either. I'll definitely find a way to teach him a lesson!"
"Don't do anything reckless. This is Mianmian's place. We're new here, so let's not cause trouble."
"Ningxin, you are so kind, you always think of me in every way."
Their voices grew softer and softer.
Liao Jian squatted at the entrance of the cave, watching the lights in the horse farm go out one after another, and he became even more annoyed.
Why are they treated like residents from the start, living in such nice houses? While I'm just a slave? And the lowest rank at that, with the most arduous tasks!
While he was writhing in a rage of impotence, Jiang Mianmian slept soundly.
In his sleep, his merit points soared, and his paradise expanded rapidly.
[With accumulated merit points ≥ , the host obtains the title of Level 4 Peach Blossom Spring Master.]
[The Taoyuan Mall has been upgraded to a dual-system platform. Please make good use of it to accelerate the development of Taoyuan.]
[Congratulations, host, for activating the Peach Blossom Spring infrastructure function. Please make good use of it to accelerate the construction of Peach Blossom Spring.]
[Two thousand resident slots, three thousand slave slots, one thousand skilled craftsmen slots, and five hundred custom slots will be awarded.]
[Merit points increase by 20, 40, 30...]
"Dr. Cheng, why isn't the child awake yet?"
"She's overworked, Ninth Sister. You should advise her to rest more. Her body can't take it if she continues like this."
"Alright, I'll make sure she gets a few more days of rest at home this time. Don't worry, Madam, go back and rest now."
Jiang Mianmian processed the series of prompts in her mind and quickly sat up. "Why are you all here? I'm fine."
The old lady and Ninth Sister both had red eyes, and Cheng Nian also looked worried.
Jiu Niang said angrily, "You think I'm alright? Who sleeps for two days straight when they're alright? I can't wake them up no matter how much I call them!"
"Oh, that long? I find it quite stimulating."
Jiang Mianmian waved her arm, and then her stomach growled, "Hey, Ninth Sister~ I'm hungry~"
"It's all prepared. Here, have some milk and bird's nest porridge to soothe your body!"
Grandma Niu heard the noise and brought in the porridge that she had been keeping warm. "What else would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
"Mother-in-law is here too?"
Jiang Mianmian was somewhat surprised. Although she had brought them here before, there was no place for them to stay. Moreover, the house was not hot even though she had installed air conditioning, so she hadn't been in a hurry to move in.
Granny Niu glared at her, "It's not just me, everyone from the village has come. You've been unconscious for two days, who can sit still and wait outside?"
The sound of people chattering could be heard outside.
"It's good that you're alright. We're waiting in the yard, otherwise it would be too stuffy if we all went inside."
"Are you all done now? Running around like this every day isn't a long-term solution."
As they started chatting, Cheng Nian felt it was inappropriate to stay any longer, so he took his leave and went back to work on his medical construction project.
Jiang Mianmian drank some porridge to fill her stomach. Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to have a group celebration that night. "Let's slaughter a pig, a sheep, and some chickens tonight. We'll stew, roast, and have hot pot—what do you think?"
"Are you crazy? There's so much, how are we supposed to eat it all?"
Jiu Niang poked her head, "What are you thinking about?"
Old Madam Ye also disagreed, saying, "Life is tough outside these days, so we shouldn't waste money."
"What I mean is, let's set all these up in the square, so that all the residents of Taoyuan can come and eat!"
Jiang Mianmian was in a good mood. "I'll bring out some more supplies so that everyone in the camp can relax a bit!"
