Chapter 1925: Mistaken for the God of Wealth

~8 min read 1,542 words

He had many things to consider; his parents hadn't even brought Yueyue, yet he wanted to bring his own family of three, and he was afraid his other siblings might have thoughts about it.

Shi Youxuan said, "It's settled then. Go back and prepare. Of course, you don't need to bring too many things; just bring the milk powder for Baobao and a few sets of clothes to change into. We leave tomorrow."

"That doesn't seem right..."

"What's right or not? I have the final say. You just need to listen. Don't worry, they won't have any objections. You're a good child in every way, except that you think too much."

Litian went home and told Feifei about it. Feifei smiled and said, "Mom is right; you really do think too much. Go ahead, Baobao and I will go with you."

On the day of departure, the whole family came to see them off.

Yueyue had an objection: "Mom is the most biased toward the second brother. When going out to play, she only takes the second brother's family and doesn't take me."

Shi Youxuan: "I'll take you, will you go?"

Yueyue: "I won't."

Shi Youxuan gave her daughter a flick on the forehead: "If you aren't going, why are you spouting nonsense at me? You only know how to make me angry every day. If I had known you would be like this, I shouldn't have given birth to you."

"Dad, keep your wife in check; she's always targeting me."

Yueyue had backers, and those backers were her father and the brothers and sisters-in-law in the family.

She was the youngest in the family and the darling of everyone; even when Shi Youxuan wanted to discipline her, she couldn't.

"Alright, we're about to leave, why are you still hitting the child? She's so old, why are you still bickering with a child?" Sheng Hanyu shielded Yueyue behind him, and immediately after, Yueyue was protected in turn by Li Xueer and Yuanyuan.

Protected by everyone, Yueyue felt emboldened, even making faces at her mother from behind her eldest brother, with the attitude of, "What can you do to me?"

Shi Youxuan wanted to hit her, really hit her!

But there was no time left; she was pushed into the car by her husband, the door closed, and they drove away.

With her parents not at home, Yueyue was now like a fish in the vast sea and a bird in the high sky.

——————————————————————————————

The plane landed at the Q Country International Airport.

In the blink of an eye, it had been over twenty years since she had returned to this place.

Q Country didn't seem to have changed at all; it was the same now as it had been over twenty years ago.

Thinking back to those years, Shi Youxuan had once come here to shop with Yafei.

The scenes from that time were still vivid in her mind, as if it were only yesterday, yet in the blink of an eye, over twenty years had passed, and things were no longer the same.

Yafei had already passed away, and Yafei's son had grown into an adult, raised by her own hands.

Time is like a white horse passing a crack in the wall; it flashed by in an instant.

The scenes of those years were like things that happened yesterday, but things were long since no longer the same!

Shi Youxuan sighed in her heart. Seeing that her expression was off, Litian asked with concern, "Mom, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

"It's nothing, Litian. You are Mom's pride."

Litian:...

There was a small incident when they went out for dinner in the evening.

Just as Sheng Hanyu walked out of the room, a local person walked toward him, staring blankly at him with an excited expression.

He wanted to step aside, but he didn't expect this person to suddenly kneel on the ground and start kowtowing loudly!

Immediately after, more people followed this person's example, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to him!

"What are you all doing? Get up quickly!"

The people didn't get up; they just kept praying.

Soon, there were more and more people, and some even held incense in their hands, kneeling and bowing to him!

This was going too far. Burning incense and kowtowing to a living person—what was the meaning of this?

"Are you sick!"

Sheng Hanyu turned and walked away. Although no one dared to pull him, people followed behind him; he took a step, and they took a step!

Sheng Hanyu threatened, "Don't follow me, or I'll call the police."

"Oh, almighty God, we beg you not to be angry. We will listen to you."

The people finally backed off, though unwillingly and reluctantly.

Shi Youxuan asked, "They seem to treat you like a god. It's really strange. What is going on?"

"You're asking me? How would I know?"

Shi Youxuan said to her husband, "You go back to the room first, I'll go and find out."

"Fine."

She found out very quickly. It turned out that on an island not far away, there was a statue made of gold.

The person on the statue looked exactly like Sheng Hanyu, and that island had been an unknown Small Fishing Village decades ago, but it had become popular in recent years and had become a wealthy place famous far and wide.

Everyone said that the reason that place was wealthy was because of the protection of a god or Buddha.

Now that the god who blessed people with wealth was right in front of them, of course they couldn't miss such a good opportunity.

Where was that place?

This was almost unnecessary to ask; it was the very Small Fishing Village they were planning to visit.

This couldn't go on. Sheng Hanyu couldn't even leave the door. Shi Youxuan came up with an idea: let him wear sunglasses and a headscarf when he went out.

A floral headscarf, at that.

Sunglasses were fine, but the headscarf... Sheng Hanyu firmly refused to wear it!

He was very resistant: "I won't wear it. Only women wear headscarves here. Why would a grown man like me wear a headscarf? I won't wear it, I won't wear it, I just won't wear it."

Shi Youxuan smirked: "Dressing up as a woman, it's not like you haven't done it before..."

"Are you done yet? Don't say any more."

"I'll say it, so what? If you don't wear it, you can't go out. Choose for yourself!"

Sheng Hanyu:...

Although he was unwilling and reluctant, in the end, he still put it on.

Without wearing a headscarf, he couldn't take a single step outside!

However, the way Sheng Hanyu looked wearing the headscarf was truly too comical; one really wanted to laugh and simply couldn't hold it back.

His son and daughter-in-law were snickering on the side.

Shi Youxuan kept teasing him incessantly: "Husband, you dressed up like this, you really look like a kind old lady."

"Shut up!"

"I won't."

"If you say another word, I'm taking it off."

"Who are you trying to scare? If you take it off, you won't be able to go anywhere!"

Sheng Hanyu:...

He had lost the bickering match with his wife again; it was no surprise at all, it was like this every time.

Litian was long used to it; from childhood to adulthood, his parents had always had this mode of interaction.

Feifei, on the other hand, was filled with envy; she was so envious, and she hoped that when she and Litian grew old, they could be just like her parents-in-law.

But she also knew that she did not have her mother-in-law's personality and could not achieve that.

But she and her husband would also be happy for a lifetime; she had this confidence.

In the end, Sheng Hanyu still took off the headscarf; if he was recognized, then so be it, it was no big deal. Anyway, he wasn't a wanted criminal, and being worshipped like a god wasn't a bad thing either.

He had come to terms with it, but he still felt it was troublesome because he simply couldn't walk out; as soon as he showed his face for a little while, he would immediately be surrounded three layers deep inside and out.

"Let's set off early; we leave first thing tomorrow morning!" Sheng Hanyu waved his hand and made the decision.

The children had rested enough, so the family of five boarded a cruise ship and set off for the Small Fishing Village!

The cruise ship was rented from a shipping company, a brand-new luxury cruise ship.

The ship had a captain, first mate, sailors, and even waiters and cleaners, all fully staffed, but the only guests were their family of five.

Renting such a cruise ship was not cheap, and it wasn't just about buying seats; if you wanted to charter the cruise ship, you had to book in advance, and it wasn't something you could do just by having money.

The reason it went so smoothly was all thanks to Sheng Hanyu's face.

Never mind paying the rent, they would have let him have it even without the rent!
