Chapter 874: Chapter 870 Returning to the Village

"Sister-in-law, did they give you all the compensation money?" After packing up, Chen Yang inquired about the compensation Zhang Wei had promised.

Nie Shuping immediately nodded upon hearing this: "Yang Zi gave it to me; he transferred the hundred thousand to me right after you guys left. Give me your account number, and I’ll transfer this money to you later."

For Nie Shuping, the fact that Chen Yang could help her vent her grievances and take her back to the village was more than enough to be grateful for.

This hundred thousand, she had no intentions at all and just wanted to transfer it to Chen Yang.

But Chen Yang asked purely out of concern since they were about to leave, and it would be inconvenient to ask for it later if it hadn’t been given yet.

"Sister-in-law, that money is compensation for you; why would you give it to me? You should keep it; you can use it to buy some new furniture or something when you go back." Chen Yang waved his hand and then signaled Nie Shuping to get in the car.

Seeing Chen Yang say this, Nie Shuping didn’t insist anymore.

She nodded slightly and got into the car.

Then, Chen Yang returned to the driver’s seat, pressed the gas pedal, left the bar, and headed towards the highway.

Once they were on the highway, conversation started in the car.

Nie Shuping proactively began asking Chen Yang about the situation in the village.

Chen Yang, while driving, also briefly told her about the situation at home.

For example, the great changes in Liuhou Village, where everyone, young and old, could find work with decent income, and things would get better and better in the future.

Hearing about such significant changes in Liuhou Village, Nie Shuping was utterly shocked!

If Chen Yang hadn’t spoken so seriously, she would have thought he was joking with her.

"Yang Zi? Is what you said true? Has the village changed so much? Which big boss took a liking to Liuhou Village to invest so much?" Nie Shuping asked in amazement.

Just now, Chen Yang had not mentioned his own enterprise in the village, so Nie Shuping thought a big boss had come to invest in the village.

"Uh... this is hard to explain; you’ll see when you go back. Then you can also find work in the village, and there’s no need to wander outside anymore." Chen Yang said.

At the mention of her child, Liu Wu, tears welled up in Nie Shuping’s eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Qingyue immediately handed her two tissues from the front seat and offered comfort.

After some comforting, Nie Shuping’s emotions calmed a little, and she started asking Chen Yang about Liu Wu’s situation.

Chen Yang told her truthfully.

"Wu Zi has been living with his grandparents. The living condition is tough, but his health is okay, so rest assured. It’s just that his study performance isn’t great, quite poor actually." Chen Yang said.

"As long as he’s healthy, I’m just worried that without my care, he might have health issues."

Nie Shuping let go of her worries a bit.

They chatted in the car, and before long, they exited the highway and arrived near Liuhou Village.

Seeing the familiar environment, Nie Shuping knew they were about to enter Liuhou Village.

"Yang Zi... can I ask you a favor..." Seeing they were about to enter the village, Nie Shuping suddenly spoke hesitantly.

Chen Yang glanced at her through the rearview mirror and asked, "What’s wrong, sister-in-law? What is it?"

Nie Shuping hesitated for a moment, but she spoke up: "Can you tell a little lie for me? Don’t say you met me at the bar, just say I was deceived while working out of town... Please don’t let the story about me dancing at the bar get out."

These words left Chen Yang momentarily stunned.

But only for a moment, Chen Yang quickly collected himself.

"Don’t worry, sister-in-law, how could I recklessly spill such a thing, I definitely won’t say it." Chen Yang said earnestly.

Seeing Chen Yang say this, Nie Shuping immediately relaxed.

"Thank you so much, Yang Zi." Nie Shuping thanked him again.

Chen Yang smiled slightly: "No need to be polite, sister-in-law, we’re about to enter the village, so try to calm your emotions and return happily!"

"Mhm."

Nie Shuping nodded heavily twice, and then her face broke into a smile.

Chen Yang drove into the village and then stopped in front of his clinic.

Nie Shuping’s home was inside the village with no road access, so Chen Yang couldn’t drop her right at her doorstep and had to stop at the clinic instead.

"Sister-in-law, we’ve reached the village, get out of the car." Chen Yang unbuckled his seatbelt and said, turning around.

Looking out the window, Nie Shuping realized they were at the village and responded affirmatively before getting out of the car.

Chen Yang got out and immediately went to the trunk to help unload the luggage.

"Sister-in-law, there’s so much stuff, let me walk you home; it’s hard to carry it all by yourself." Chen Yang offered.

Nie Shuping had a suitcase plus three or four bags, which would be a struggle for her alone.

So Chen Yang offered to escort her.

Nie Shuping didn’t insist on managing by herself. Hearing Chen Yang offer, she nodded: "Okay, thank you, Yang Zi."

Without further words, Chen Yang handed his house keys to Wang Qingyue, instructing her to go home first and he would be back after escorting Nie Shuping.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you at home."

Wang Qingyue took the keys, nodded, and headed to open the clinic’s door while Chen Yang carried the suitcase and two bags: "Let’s go, sister-in-law, I’ll walk you home."

With that, he headed towards the village.

Nie Shuping carried the remaining two bags, following behind Chen Yang.

It had been a year and a half since Nie Shuping last returned. During this time, she had been out of contact, and the family thought she had run away with someone.

Now, suddenly back, those who saw her along the way came over to greet her and inquire.

"Hey, isn’t that Shuping? How come you’re back?"

"It really is Shuping! Shuping, you’ve returned!"

"Liu Granny, your Shuping has returned."

...

Her return coincided with noon, a bustling time in the village.

Those working in the mines or farming were all home for lunch.

So, in no time, the news of Nie Shuping’s return spread throughout the village; before she even reached her door, someone had run ahead to inform her family.

Faced with this scene, Nie Shuping looked a bit panicked.

Because of her guilty conscience...

However, Chen Yang quietly reminded her: "Sister-in-law, just act naturally, no one will know if I don’t say anything, so don’t overthink it!"

Her initial guilt vanished upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, bolstering her courage.

Her expression became more natural, and she even started talking with the villagers she knew!

Before long, they reached her house.

Coincidentally, a messenger was assisting Liu Granny out of the house.

Seeing it really was Nie Shuping, Liu Granny was overwhelmed with joy, tears streaming down her face as she approached quickly.

"Shuping! It really is you, Shuping! Daughter-in-law, where have you been these two years, why didn’t you contact us?" Liu Granny held Nie Shuping’s hand, asking emotionally.

Nie Shuping could hold back no longer; seeing Liu Granny like this, she too couldn’t help but cry.

"Mom, I’m back, sorry for making you worry during this time!" Nie Shuping sobbed as she replied.

Upon meeting, they embraced and cried together for a while.
