You call this a village?

"Wait," Wei Zisu asked in shock. "This... this is a private jet... right?"

Yin Zhengchuan nodded. "Yes, our family's private jet."

Wei Zisu: !!!

"Our..."

No, he absolutely could not let himself be included in that "our."

Wei Zisu slowly turned to look at Yin Zhengchuan. After a long while, he finally voiced his confusion. "Doesn't your family grow vegetables?"

"Yes." Yin Zhengchuan handed the suitcase to the flight attendant. "We just have quite a lot of vegetable fields."

"How much?" Wei Zisu asked.

He really wanted to know how many vegetables someone had to grow to afford a private jet.

Yin Zhengchuan said, "About ten thousand mu."

Wei Zisu: ...

By the time Yin Zhengchuan led him aboard and he saw the inside of a private jet for the first time, his shock rose another level and went straight through the roof.

The airplane interiors he had seen before had all been rows upon rows of seats. Even business class was only a little roomier than economy.

But inside the private jet, there were none of those tightly packed seats. Everything was incredibly spacious. There were sofas and coffee tables, and the aisle beside them was wide enough for three people to walk abreast. Farther inside, there was even a bedroom with a large bed and a walk-in closet!!

With his horizons forcibly broadened, Wei Zisu now had luxury filling his left eye and extravagance filling his right, so much that neither could hold any more.

Yin Zhengchuan sat down with him. The flight attendant brought drinks and snacks, and Yin Zhengchuan pushed the snacks toward Wei Zisu.

Wei Zisu was full of questions just then and had no appetite. He tried to pick up his drink and take a sip to calm his nerves, only to accidentally knock the glass over.

Wei Zisu: ?!

Yin Zhengchuan quickly grabbed a napkin to help wipe him off and had the flight attendant replace the tablecloth while he was at it.

Watching Wei Zisu lower his head and slowly wipe the juice off his clothes, he thought he was utterly adorable.

A moment later, Wei Zisu looked up. "That's not what you told me before."

Yin Zhengchuan asked innocently, "Huh? What did I tell you before?"

"You said your family grew vegetables and sold what you grew."

"That's right," Yin Zhengchuan explained. "Besides those ten thousand-plus mu of vegetable fields, my family also has dozens of hotels and supermarkets. Most of the vegetables sold or used there are grown in our own fields. Whatever we can't use gets sold to other provinces or exported abroad. Doesn't that count as selling what we grow?"

Wei Zisu no longer knew what words could describe how he felt. His mind was simply blank.

"But, but..."

He was speechless. Something felt wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Thinking it over carefully, Yin Zhengchuan really didn't seem to have lied.

Yin Zhengchuan tapped his fingers against the table and said, sounding a little aggrieved, "I just didn't go into much detail. I was afraid that if I said too much, you'd think I was showing off my wealth and... and wouldn't want to be with me."

When Wei Zisu said nothing, he continued, "Zisu, ever since we met, you've never asked about my family. I thought you weren't concerned, didn't care, and didn't want to know, so I never brought it up. Now that I've come clean, you don't think I was deliberately hiding it before, do you?"

Those words stirred a sense of guilt in Wei Zisu. He really had made far, far too little effort to learn about Yin Zhengchuan.

So he blurted out, "No, I wasn't blaming you."

"That's good." Yin Zhengchuan continued, "We registered our marriage in such a rush, so I thought that once you came to Shandong, I had to make it up to you with a perfect wedding. Bringing you to Shandong had to be formal too, with a proper sense of occasion."

Only then did Wei Zisu understand why he was wearing a suit today. Looking down at his own casual clothes, still stained with juice, he felt even guiltier. How could he possibly blame Yin Zhengchuan in the slightest?

A little over an hour later, they arrived at the airport in Shandong.

There were actually clothes that fit Wei Zisu in the plane's walk-in closet, probably prepared especially for him by Yin Zhengchuan. Only after changing did Wei Zisu feel a little more presentable.

A little over an hour was nowhere near enough for Wei Zisu to digest his shock.

After they got off the plane, Yin Zhengchuan took the suitcases the flight attendant wheeled over.

Wei Zisu's heart suddenly sank.

He didn't dare imagine how Yin Zhengchuan's family would react when he arrived at their home, opened his suitcases in front of them, and took out the wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and rice.

And then there was that StellaLou plush. Would a little girl from such a wealthy family like the ordinary plush he had brought her?

He was already feeling embarrassed for himself.

"Um..." Wei Zisu said. "Could you wait for me a moment? I came in such a hurry that I haven't bought any gifts yet."

He planned to buy some new ones at the airport. Then, once they reached Yin Zhengchuan's home, he would sooner die than open those two suitcases!!

But Yin Zhengchuan said, "There's no need to buy gifts. My parents and my sister were so happy when they heard you were coming today that they couldn't sleep. You're the greatest gift they could have. The car's waiting outside. Let's hurry over."

With that, he walked off dragging the two heavy suitcases, giving Wei Zisu no chance at all.

The car that came to pick them up was a minivan. The driver wore a suit and white gloves and opened the door for them with practiced precision, giving Wei Zisu the illusion that he was acting in a CEO drama.

In the car, Wei Zisu asked, "You can finally tell me where you live now, right?"

Yin Zhengchuan smiled. "Of course. I didn't tell you yesterday because I was afraid you'd book a flight here yourself and not give me a chance to pick you up. My family's home is right on the edge of the city, in Longevity Village."

Longevity Village?

Then they reached their destination and got out of the car.

Looking at the rows of villas and upscale courtyards in all sorts of styles, Wei Zisu couldn't help asking, "You people in Shandong call this a village?"
