Chapter 122: Cultivating Dragon Blood Rice and the Third Uncle's Betrayal

"Yu'er, come back to the Chen Clan with me."

"Third Uncle Chen Shen held the woman's hand, speaking with deep affection."

"He didn't want to see this woman suffering outside, nor did he want to see her bullied; if it weren't for him this time, this mother and daughter might really have been bullied."

"That Zhang Clan brat won't let it go, and the Zhang Clan people won't spare you; if I hadn't rushed over this time, they'd likely attack you, even drag you back to the Zhang Clan, where they'd surely torture you."

"My Yu'er, for Nongqian's sake and for your safety, come back with me; I'll take good care of you and your daughter."

"Don't you understand my feelings?"

"Liu Yuer's face was flushed, her eyes still red from crying just now."

"Her husband's younger brother came to find her, simply to get her to return to the Zhang Clan; naturally, he didn't want her living alone outside, and after she went back he could inherit her—that is, marry her, not as a wife but as a concubine."

"As for her daughter, she too would be tormented by the Zhang Clan; she knew all too well their methods—after she joined the Zhang Clan back then, they looked down on her and her husband, constantly scheming against them, giving them no good days, until her husband couldn't take it and left."

"From then on, there was no more contact or interaction with the Zhang Clan, as they had agreed to sever ties forever; yet they dared to come find her, and her husband's younger brother even shamelessly set his sights on her."

"They didn't hesitate to threaten her with her daughter to make her comply, even the Zhang Clan's mother-in-law joined in, leaving Liu Yuer feeling helpless and wanting to cry; looking at her daughter beside her, she didn't want to return to the Zhang Clan or become their plaything, for if her daughter went back she would surely come to no good end."

"Those Zhang Clan people will surely find ways to target her and torment her, never giving her a chance to escape; having escaped with such difficulty, Liu Yuer will never go back—they are just bullying her because her husband is dead, bullying her as a widow and orphan."

"If Chen Shen hadn't come, she would likely face torment again and be sent back to that den of iniquity."

"By then, even if she refused, it would be too late."

"Chen Shen, thank you, but I..."

"Liu Yuer looked at Chen Shen and said helplessly, 'I don't want to bring you trouble; they won't let up.'"

"After this failure, they will surely come again; then I fear they will come to the Chen Clan to cause a ruckus."

"They're not the sort to care about face; I don't want the Chen Clan to suffer humiliation because of me."

"She knew all too well what her husband's younger brother and mother-in-law were like, and that was why she had never agreed to Chen Shen."

"She couldn't drag Chen Shen down, nor did she want to make things difficult for him."

"Her own affairs, she would handle them herself..."

"Besides, her daughter bears the Zhang surname, not the Chen."

"If she went to the Chen Clan, her daughter might not adapt, and would likely be mocked and bullied by the Chen Clan; for her daughter's sake, she couldn't be so selfish."

"I know your worries, Yu'er; believe me, I won't let you suffer injustice."

"Believe me."

"Gripping the woman's trembling hand tightly, Chen Shen gritted his teeth and said."

"He really liked this woman, especially her understanding and sensibility, and also her virtue."

"Even if she brought a daughter, Chen Shen wouldn't mind."

"This was the first time he had taken a liking to someone; that feeling was something he had never experienced before, and no other woman had ever given him."

"If you're worried about Nongqian being bullied, I'll arrange things—I guarantee you won't suffer injustice."

"He, of course, knows this woman's worries."

"Her daughter is her only one, and her last hope."

"She has been able to persist all this time solely for her daughter."

"Chen Shen also likes this daughter—she's sensible, obedient, and cute; he's always wanted a daughter."

"Well, there's one right here."

"If you don't want to go to the Chen Clan, I can arrange for you to stay with my nephew; there's hardly anyone there, and you won't have to worry about being bullied."

"My nephew is very capable—he knows everything; Nongqian can cultivate with him and study alongside him."

"Whatever Nongqian likes, my nephew can teach her."

"Liu Yuer still worried: 'Will it be too difficult?'"

"No, my nephew really respects me as his third uncle; he wouldn't dare not listen to my words." Chen Shen patted his chest, seeing Liu Yuer relent, and he felt he had to save face.

"At this moment, never mind the details—first agree, then we'll talk."

"For the sake of his beloved woman, what's the harm in sacrificing his nephew a little?"

"Maybe we shouldn't, just in case..."

"Don't worry."

"Chen Shen gripped Liu Yuer's hand tightly and gave her a reassuring look."

"Leave this to me; once I've settled it, I'll come pick you up."

"The place where my nephew lives is vast, with only him there—it's Longshe Mountain in Longshe Cheng; even if the Zhang Clan wanted to cause you trouble, they couldn't find you."

"Longshe Mountain is the safest place in Longshe Cheng; you can stay there with peace of mind."

"Seeing Chen Shen constantly making arrangements for her, Liu Yuer felt deeply moved."

"She felt deeply touched inside."

"Thank you, Chen Shen."

"For you, it's all worth it, Yu'er."

"……"

"On Longshe Mountain."

"Chen Chuyang sneezed three times."

"Aqiu."

"He raised his head, somewhat puzzled, looked up at the sky, and murmured, 'Who on earth is cursing me?'"

"He still didn't know he had been sold; his dear third uncle, at this very moment, was selling him for a woman."

"Chen Chuyang wanted to wipe his nose, only to find his hands covered in mud; the Dragon Blood Rice had begun cultivation, sprouted, and been transferred to the Spirit Field, where another plot had been cleared specifically to cultivate the Dragon Blood Rice seeds in his hands, using the same method, sprouting at about the same time, with enough spring water, ample spiritual energy, and sufficient nutrients."

"The grown seedlings needed to be transplanted to the Spirit Field, requiring Chen Chuyang's personal attention; he dared not be negligent or careless."

This is very important, more important than Dragon Tooth Rice; Chen Chuyang doesn't want to damage a single stalk, any stalk is a treasure, ah, it's fifth-grade Dragon Blood Rice, that is currently the most precious thing on Chen Chuyang's Longshe Shan, without equal.

It's worth him cherishing it so much; the Dragon Tooth Rice beside him is getting fuller and fuller, he can smell that unique fragrance of Dragon Tooth Rice, a fragrant aroma, a bag of seeds cultivated Dragon Tooth Rice on four Spirit Fields, so much Dragon Tooth Rice, part of it can continue to be cultivated, by then, a large portion of the Dragon Tooth Rice will be kept as seed, the rest can be eaten.

Mother can also try the taste, and Hongxue that girl can try her own Dragon Tooth Rice, to properly nourish her body.

The nourishing effect of Dragon Tooth Rice and Dragon Blood Rice is very gentle, with no side effects, suitable for anyone; it's not like medicinal pills whose potency is strong and takes effect instantly—Dragon Tooth Rice and Dragon Blood Rice nourish slowly, increasing bit by bit, and the absorbed energy will be stored in every inch of the skin.

This effect is enough to make many people envious.
