Revisiting

It was getting dark when the relatives who had gone out to eat finally came back one after another. They put down their empty bowls, chatted calmly with Li Yang and Chen Qian for a bit, complimented Chen Qian's beauty and Li Yang's capability, and then left.

His uncle was the last to return. It was already dark by the time he got back. He tossed the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, and before leaving, he clicked his tongue at Li Yang twice, then let out a light chuckle, waved his hand, and went home.

"Tomorrow, I'll take your aunts and them to Liu Family Village for a circle. By the time we get back, this matter should be pretty much settled."

His mother, Chen Cui, waited until a few relatives had left before smiling and saying this to Li Yang.

Shifting the public opinion in the nearby villages was to prevent the other party from influencing them.

Turning the public opinion in her village from good to bad was the counterattack.

Li Yang understood completely, so he comfortably held Chen Qian and slept in his room.

The next day, his aunt, older paternal aunt, younger paternal aunt, and uncle's wife came again and set off with Li Yang's mother on a tricycle. The men didn't go; after all, women were better at handling this kind of thing, and it would seem petty if men did it.

So, the few of them returned around noon, ate a meal at Li Yang's house, and then went back to their own homes after finishing.

"Alright, it's all settled now. You naughty boy, next time you do something like this, remember to let us know."

After returning from the outer village, Li Yang's mother couldn't help but give him a reproachful look, but remembering that Chen Qian was still there, she didn't say much more. Instead, she chatted with Chen Qian for a while longer before going off to take a nap on her own, leaving enough space for the young people.

Li Yang chuckled twice. Seeing his mother's reaction, he knew the matter was mostly handled. He couldn't help but feel satisfied and comfortably went back to his room to hold Chen Qian and take a nap. After waking up, he took her for a couple of turns around the old houses in the village.

By the time they returned, it was already time for dinner.

"Dad, Mom, let's clean up the house these next few days, and I'll take you to live in Heyang. I have a place there."

At the dinner table, Li Yang ate his dinner and offered his suggestion to his parents: "You two won't earn much money working, and you'll easily wear yourselves out. Why not rest at home? I'll leave you enough money, so you can do whatever you want to do."

"No, stop right there. Nowhere is as comfortable as living in this house. It's a three-story house with a small courtyard, surrounded by relatives and friends you know. You have your own vegetable patch for whatever you want to eat, and when you're free, you can ride your electric bike to go fishing. If you really want to provide for your mother and me in our old age, just let us live here."

His father, Li Jianshu, raised his hand to stop Li Yang before he could finish: "Besides, your grandma is getting old too. Your mother and I are close by here, so we can quickly go see her if anything happens."

"This house was originally built for your wedding. Now that you don't need it, it's just right for us to use."

His mother, Chen Cui, also spoke up, her expression full of satisfaction, clearly very happy about living here.

Li Yang frowned, but after a second thought, it made sense, so he shook his head.

"Alright then, in a few days, I'll have someone thoroughly renovate our house. We'll make sure the drainage and electrical circuits are all properly planned, have air conditioners installed in the rooms for you, as well as heating, water heaters, TVs, water dispensers, and renovate the second floor too. We can set up a tea room for drinking tea, and put in a sofa for watching TV..."

"If the second floor is renovated, when Li Ling and Li Na come back for vacation, they can also live more comfortably."

"Dad should also get his driver's license. The next couple of days, accompany me to pick out a car. That way, no matter where you want to go in the cold winter or hot summer, it'll be more comfortable."

Since they weren't going to Heyang, he would make the living conditions at their hometown comfortable, ensuring everything was to the most satisfactory and comfortable degree.

As for the issue of his parents being lonely, it wasn't a problem with his younger sister Li Ling, who was five years younger than him and seventeen this year, and his youngest sister Li Na, who was eight years younger than him and fourteen this year.

His two younger sisters, one in her second year of high school and the other in her third year of middle school, didn't have any conflict between them due to the large age difference. Instead, they listened to Li Yang very much.

After all, their phones were bought by Li Yang with his salary...

With two sisters in school, his parents wouldn't be bored or lonely. It was also convenient that they wouldn't have to travel back and forth between Heyang and the county every time they had a holiday, as he had previously considered.

Li Yang thought it was a good plan and was quite satisfied. On the other hand, his parents were somewhat reluctant for him to spend so much money, but Li Yang didn't care at all. That evening, he contacted a designer from the city and asked them to come and take a look in person the next day, determined to give their hometown a thorough renovation.

During the simple renovation of their hometown house, Li Yang's father had done it himself to save money. The result was that after it was finished, he discovered a basic mistake: he hadn't separated the toilet water pipes from the daily use water pipes!

This led to them having to open a door in the kitchen and set up a separate dry toilet solely for defecation.

Furthermore, the electrical circuits weren't set up for dual control. The lights were switched on at the door, and he had to go to the door to turn them off when going to bed at night. When they didn't have money before, they just put up with it.

Now that they had money, they naturally had to change everything back.

This included the lack of an electric water heater in addition to the solar water heater, having fans but no air conditioning, the second floor being empty, and the lack of good heating equipment in the winter...

One by one, all these issues had to be changed now.

After the designer arrived the next day, under the influence of the thousand-yuan private red envelope Li Yang gave him, he very carefully inspected everything and gave suggestions. Finally, he provided the renderings and blueprints on the third day.

On the fourth day, Li Yang started contacting workers, telling them to begin construction according to the blueprints starting next Monday.

His youngest sister, who was in middle school, was coming back for the weekend. Li Yang wanted to stop the noisy work before she went back to school.

While Li Yang was having a comfortable time these past few days, things were not going well for Liu Lili and her brother.

Originally, the bad rumors they spread were somewhat successful, and some people actually believed them.

However, when Li Yang presented the facts, it wasn't something Liu Lili could just ignore by saying "let's not talk about the facts." The neighbors in their hometown started pointing fingers at her family, and the opinion instantly changed.

Liu Lili even found a screenshot of her chat history with Li Yang posted by a friend from her hometown on her WeChat Moments. Although the name was redacted, she recognized it as her chat history with Li Yang at a glance.

[Chen Dong: I've lived long enough to see this, the legendary little fairy actually appeared in my town]

Liu Lili was stunned when she saw this Moment, and her face immediately changed dramatically. She realized that her reputation in the entire hometown circle had definitely started to stink, and she immediately rushed to confront this Chen Dong.

However, when she tried to comment, it failed. When she clicked into his profile again, she saw that he was no longer her friend; he had actually deleted her directly.

"Damn!"

Liu Lili's face twisted for a moment, and she cursed fiercely. But at this point, she realized there was nothing she could do and could only swallow her anger and wait for the matter to pass.

During this time, she would find a man who could tolerate 'all her little tempers' and marry him.

This way, the impact of this matter would be much less.
