Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Chapter 157 Return to Guyang County

The summer afternoon is hot and unbearable, especially on a windless and sunny day.

It was less than a quarter of an hour away from Guyang County, and they were unwilling to delay on the road for such a short distance. They had already spent almost five days living in the wild on the road, and no amount of fun could bear it.

Therefore, everyone wanted to hurry up and get to the county inn early to rest and fill their hungry stomachs.

The carriage gradually stopped at the door of the inn. It was already past lunch time and there were almost no diners in the inn. Suddenly, a team of carriages and horses stopped at the door of the inn, and the waiter immediately stepped forward to greet the guests.

The carriage curtain was opened, and a man leaned out of the carriage. The waiter recognized him and asked in surprise, "It's Master Li, have you just returned from abroad?"

"Yes, Brother Zhao, you don't need to take care of things here. As usual, please go in and help order the food. There are fifteen servings in total. Serve the three servings for the host family first."

"Okay! Please prepare yourself. I will ask the chef to serve the food."

"Thank you."

After Xin Ye finished explaining things to the waiter, he jumped off the carriage and waited on the side to help his wife get off. Yan Yiyi naturally put her hand in his palm and jumped off the carriage.

Hua Murong saw the young couple get off the carriage and didn't even think about waiting for her. She turned around and walked into the inn. Yan Yiyi seemed to whisper a reminder in Xin Ye's ear. The next second, Xin Ye's normal walking posture turned into a limp.

This scene made Hua Murong and Hua Bei's mouth twitch.

As Hua Murong went in, the other secret guards became visible guards and followed him into the inn.

Hua Murong wanted to support Yan Yiyi and needed more people, so he asked the secret guards to follow him as ordinary guards for the time being. Moreover, when he arrived in Liangguan County, none of the opponents noticed him, as they all attracted his attention due to the activities of the guards from the east, south and west.

Therefore, he was not worried that this high-profile trip would attract attention.

In addition, he deliberately disguised himself as a rich young man visiting his sister who had married far away. No matter how much those people inquired afterwards, they would not be able to match him with the eldest son of the Hua family.

Thanks to my sister, the Li family is well-known in Guyang County. How could the Hua family have such a poor relative?

After lunch, Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi led Hua Murong and his group to Li's Grocery Store on the vegetable market. Unlike other stalls, this was the time when sweet potato dishes were delivered, and many people were afraid that they would not be able to buy them, so they came early to line up.

As soon as they arrived, they saw the bustling scene at the entrance of Li’s. Uncle Zhang, who was in charge of delivering the dishes, was also busy helping out. It was obvious from his skill that this was not his first time helping out.

Hua Murong saw the bunch of green-leaved and green-stalked vegetables that the people were rushing to buy, and asked Xin Ye who was standing beside her: "Is that the sweet potato vegetable you mentioned?"

Xin Ye: "Yes, that's the sweet potato dish. You should have some at home, right? We only sell a limited amount every day. We probably haven't sold out in the half month we were away."

Hearing that there was more, Hua Murong felt a little relieved. Having tried sweet potatoes and corn, which were new foods he had never eaten before, he didn't want to miss out on this delicacy, sweet potato dish, which he had never tasted before.

After the sweet potatoes were sold out, people who couldn't buy any didn't complain. They were used to it and they were all ordinary people. Even those who lived in the city planted some vegetables in their yards, knowing that once the vegetables were eaten up, they would be gone because the new ones had not yet grown.

"father!"

"Dad, we are back!"

Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi shouted one after another to Father Li who was about to turn around and go back to the shop to work.

Father Li looked over when he heard the voice, he was so excited and happy: "Hey! You guys are back! Dad will close the shop now, go buy some meat, and come back to cook for you.

By the way, have you had lunch? Are you hungry? There are still some leftover pastries in the shop that can fill your stomach. "

"Dad, we just ate at the inn, we're not hungry." Then, Xin Ye led Father Li out, "Dad, this is my wife's eldest brother. We met him by chance in Liangguan County, and my eldest brother-in-law wanted to visit us."

Upon hearing this, Father Li immediately came forward and saw Hua Murong, a man of dignified appearance and extraordinary temperament, as well as the guards behind him. He thought: As expected, my daughter-in-law's family background is extraordinary.

Father Li raised his smiling face and said, "Mr. Yan, welcome, welcome."

Hua Murong smiled politely, without explaining immediately, and greeted: "Junior greets Uncle Li, Uncle Li, you can just call me Arong."

"Okay, then I won't be polite. Rong, you are welcome to visit our home."

"Sorry to bother Uncle Li."

"No, no, the weather is a bit hot, why don't you go into the store and have a glass of water to quench your thirst?"

"Dad, let's go home now. We've been traveling for several days. Let's go home and rest for a while." Xin Ye interrupted their polite greetings.

"Yes! You guys go back first. I'll close the shop and go buy some food and then come back." Father Li instructed, "Aye, treat your eldest brother-in-law well."

"I know dad, we just came to say hello to you."

"Okay, I understand. You guys go back first."

After watching them get on the carriage and leave, Father Li turned around and saw Uncle Zhang Wu standing at the door: "Uncle Zhang, please help me clean up. Please buy some wine and food later. Come over for dinner tonight."

"No, your family will have a good reunion tonight, we won't disturb you for now. Besides, I have to go home to take care of my wife, so I can't drink."

This is true.

"Oh! I forgot to tell my daughter-in-law that your wife gave birth."

"It's okay, it's okay. We'll find out when we get back to the village. It's not a big deal."

The carriage rumbled back to Dashan Village. At that moment, many villagers were sitting under a large pear tree in the village, enjoying the cool and chatting. When they saw the carriage entering the village, they all looked out.

"The carriage is large and beautiful, not like the magistrate's."

"Could it be an outsider? Should we stop outsiders from entering the village? Otherwise they will find the sweet potatoes planted in the fields at the end of our village."

"There are quite a lot of people here. They don't look easy to deal with. Can you stop them?"

"What should we do? Should we call the village chief?"

"Should we go and inform the adults?"

The villagers began to discuss the matter with serious expressions, as if something big had happened.

Hua Bei saw the villagers gathered under a tree, looking serious as if they were about to stop a carriage, so he immediately notified his son-in-law.

Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi immediately understood why they were like that. Xin Ye leaned his head out of the carriage and sat down next to Hua Bei.

Someone saw clearly that the person coming out of the carriage was the young man from the Li family, and hurriedly said, "It's Daye, Daye is back."

Upon hearing this, the villagers all breathed a sigh of relief.

When the carriage came closer and he could clearly see that it was Shen Ye, he finally relaxed his slightly tense heart.

It's really scary. The sweet potatoes in the field are growing well now and it looks like it will be a good harvest season. They don't want to be noticed and destroyed by others.
