The couple remained silent all night. The next morning, Changsheng disappeared after finishing his breakfast and feeding the chickens.

Shen Rong didn't care. Changsheng was no longer the stubborn person he used to be.

Now Changsheng will remember every word she said in his heart.

She was not worried that Changsheng would run out of the village alone again.

Shen Rong tidied the house inside and out, then started reading her grandfather's medical notes.

Just then, there was a noise coming from the entrance of the village, accompanied by the sound of a carriage.

Shen Rong stood up and looked outside the door. Two carriages happened to be passing by her house, and behind the carriages were many children who were joining in the fun.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "The carriage is here to take Miss Qianjin to the capital!"

The sound was quite loud, and soon the carriage was no longer followed by a group of children, but by a number of villagers.

Men, women, old and young were all there, and it was obvious that people of all ages came to watch the fun.

Shen Rong subconsciously followed him out of the courtyard. She didn't know what she wanted to see.

The carriage went all the way into the village and finally stopped in front of the Gu family's door.

Chen Yuanyuan and Gu Zhaoming, mother and son, had already packed their luggage and were waiting.

Although they were moving, they didn't take much with them.

Shen Rong only took two sets of clothes for the journey, but Gu Zhaoming took all his books with him.

It was Liu's first time to go on a long journey, and she would never come back again, so she took everything she could with her. Chen Yuanyuan advised Liu many times, but she refused to listen.

It was only after Gu Zhaoming persuaded her several times that Liu only took some valuables.

Otherwise, I'm afraid even two carriages wouldn't be enough to carry it.

Gu Zhaoming and his family were about to leave Taohua Village. All of Gu's relatives and friends came and gathered at the door, making it very lively.

Liu had been flattered by the sisters-in-law of the same clan for a long time. Seeing that the carriage was almost at the door of her house, she hurriedly said to drive them away, "Okay, I have to go. If I have the chance in the future, I will come back to see you."

Many young wives also gathered around Chen Yuanyuan. Most of them became friends with her because they bought soap and skin care products from her. They looked at the magnificent carriage with uncontrollable envy on their faces.

Shen Rong did not follow the carriage to Gu's house.

Chen Yuanyuan glanced at the crowd and didn't see Shen Rong. She felt a little unhappy, but she quickly suppressed it because Wang Momo got off the carriage, walked forward, and knelt down to salute Chen Yuanyuan.

"This old slave has met the young lady."

When Wang Momo saluted, the servants behind her also followed suit and saluted Chen Yuanyuan.

As for Gu Zhaoming and Liu, Wang Momo didn't know what arrangements her lady had made. She didn't bow but just nodded to the two of them.

Gu Zhaoming's eyes darkened, but he showed nothing.

Liu was also somewhat dissatisfied. She felt that none of the servants took her seriously.

Wang Momo's behavior made the villagers of Taohua Village truly feel that the village girl they watched grow up was really different.

Everyone was watching the excitement while trying to establish relationships with the Gu family members.

This person said that he watched Yuanyuan grow up.

The one who said he was related to the Gu family.

Others said that Shen Yuan was blessed at first glance, no wonder she could marry Gu Xiucai, it turned out she was a rich lady…………

They didn't know when they would be able to return home. Looking at the familiar villagers, Liu and his friends couldn't help feeling reluctant to leave. Liu and Gu Zhaoming said goodbye to the elders and villagers.

Seeing that her mother-in-law and husband were reluctant to get on the carriage, Chen Yuanyuan didn't want to get on alone, so she waited on the side.

Here, after some instructions from Nanny Wang, the servants who came with them quickly placed the Gu family's luggage on the carriage, and then invited Chen Yuanyuan and others to get on the carriage.

The carriages started moving, and the villagers followed them to the village entrance, and their discussions did not stop until the carriages left Taohua Village.

Just like that, the Gu family left Taohua Village in a lively manner as the villagers saw them off.

Many days after the Gu family left Taohua Village, they were still the hottest topic in the village, no doubt about it.

However, what people talked about most was not the story of the village girl named Shen Yuan from the Shen family becoming a rich lady, but the fact that the rich lady left five hundred taels of silver to her adoptive mother Zhang. This matter was widely circulated in the village.

After all, that was five hundred taels of silver. Most people in the village could not earn five hundred taels of silver in their entire life. How could everyone not be envious?

This news spread to several nearby villages, and people from other villages also came to Taohua Village to ask if it was true.

When they found out it was true, the people who came to ask also looked envious.

Let’s not talk about what Zhang did with all that money.

But Changsheng came to the old soapberry tree early in the morning, ready to enter the tree hole to dig out the hairpin.

Unfortunately, the group of mud monkey-like children in the village arrived earlier than him and came to the old soapberry tree to play games.

In order to keep his secret from being discovered by others, he had no choice but to wait under the tree until all the children left, then he would go into the tree hole and dig out the hairpin.

As they waited, they finally saw the horse-drawn carriage that came to pick up Chen Yuanyuan's family and enter the village.

When the children living near the old tree saw the carriage coming, they immediately ran straight to the village entrance.

Changsheng was no longer curious about carriages, after all, he had ridden in them several times.

Seeing that everyone had left and there was finally no one around the old tree, he bent down, entered the tree hole, and began to dig out hairpins.

Gu Dawang's mother, Zou, heard the commotion and ran out to watch. She happened to see Changsheng crawling into the tree hole with a nervous look on his face.

Her heart moved. She looked up at the envious faces of those who were watching the fun, curled the corners of her mouth, and quietly approached the old soapberry tree.

For Zou, Shen Yuan caused her son to be beaten so badly. Now instead of asking her to watch Shen Yuan's highlights and envy her, she might as well go and see what that fool is doing.

Although the hole of the old soapberry tree was not small, it was not big enough for an adult man. Changsheng sat with his back to the hole entrance, and his broad back blocked the hole tightly, so Zou could not see what was going on inside.

She looked up at the top of the tree trunk. The main trunk was hollow. If she climbed up the tree and looked down, she would be able to see what was inside.

But once she climbed up the tree, she would alarm the fool, so Zou could only wait by the tree.

After a while, Changsheng came out of the tree hole holding a hairpin.

As soon as he came out, he was caught by Zou. At one glance, she saw the white silver hairpin in Changsheng's hand.

Zou got excited and stepped forward to grab Changsheng and said, "Changsheng, this hairpin is mine. Where did you pick it up?"

Changsheng held the hairpin in his hand and stared blankly at Zou, without giving her any response.

Zou secretly cursed him as a fool, pointed at the hairpin in Changsheng's hand and said, "Changsheng, this is mine. You picked up my things, do you want to give it back to me?"

Changsheng now understood that the woman in front of him was asking him for a hairpin, but he still ignored her and was about to leave.

"Hey! You can't leave! Hand over the hairpin quickly!"

Taking advantage of Changsheng's silence and lack of explanation, Zou held Changsheng back and refused to let him leave, insisting that he hand over the hairpin.

In Zou's heart, this hairpin can belong to anyone, but it is definitely not for immortality.

After all, she had seen with her own eyes Changsheng enter the tree hole empty-handed, and when he came out, there was a hairpin in his hand.

She was certain that Changsheng must have gotten this hairpin for free. It would be better to give it to her instead of letting a fool get such a good thing for free!

Look, she is dragging Changsheng into a quarrel.

At this time, Zou, whose mind was blinded by greed, would never have thought that this hairpin belonged to Changsheng, and that Changsheng had buried it in it with his own hands.
