The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C313 – My Mom Won’t Let Me Play with Trash

Loong Qingyuan was brimming with self-assurance.

He had expected to be surrounded by words of praise.

Instead, the silence was deafening.

“Brother-in-law!”

Just then, Xiao Chen entered from outside: “Mom says the food is nearly ready. We can sit down to eat now.”

It turned out Xiao Chen was inviting them to dine.

After speaking, Xiao Chen noticed the jar in Loong Qingyuan’s hand.

“Who’s this?”

Xiao Chen blinked: “What’s inside this jar? I’ve seen this before in a book. Grandpa Qin, this is the Flying Dragon Blood Herb mentioned in the ancient text you gave me!”

Loong Qingyuan perked up at this.

Finally, he had an audience.

He boasted, “Young man, you must be Xiao Chen, the young master of the Xiao family, correct?”

Loong Qingyuan gave a smug smile, lifting his chin: “You’ve never seen something this exceptional, have you? Take a good look now; you won’t get another chance in the future.”

Xiao Chen’s brow furrowed: “You’re saying I won’t have another chance to see the Flying Dragon Blood Herb?”

“That’s right.”

Loong Qingyuan was visibly pleased with himself: “I might be the only person in the world with the Flying Dragon Blood Herb. No one else could possibly have it.”

Xiao Chen nodded earnestly.

Loong Qingyuan swelled with pride.

“Examine the Flying Dragon Blood Herb closely. You might even want to take some photos to remember it by, since you won’t get to see it again.”

Loong Qingyuan was quite magnanimous.

Xiao Chen blinked: “I think I’ll pass.”

“Don’t worry, even if you drop it, I won’t hold it against you!”

Loong Qingyuan said with a casual smile.

He set the item before Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen stepped back, a hint of reluctance in his movement.

But Xiao Chen was a sincere kid and couldn’t bring himself to lie.

Rubbing his nose, Xiao Chen admitted, “At our house, we use this to feed the dogs.”

Loong Qingyuan froze.

“I just said I was the only one in the world with this, and you agreed! It looks like you’re no different from the rest!”

Loong Qingyuan let out a cold snort.

“What I’m saying is, trash like this is something only you would have.”

Xiao Chen’s expression was one of pure sincerity.

He was speaking the truth!

Loong Qingyuan was seething with anger.

“You’re pushing me too far!”

“Don’t you believe what I’m saying?”

Xiao Chen blinked and glanced back at Su Ming, “Brother-in-law.”

Why didn’t he take it himself?

Because he was afraid.

The items were too valuable, and he feared damaging them.

Su Ming gave a nod.

Once more, he reached into the black plastic bag.

Loong Qingyuan shuddered inside!

He had always dreaded black plastic bags.

Su Ming’s hand emerged, clutching a Flying Dragon Blood Herb.

It was large and plump.

It truly resembled a dragon, lifelike and vibrant.

Its entire body was a blood-red, shimmering with clarity.

And it was perfectly intact.

Loong Qingyuan was dumbfounded.

Such a valuable item in a plastic bag?

He had thought he’d be the one to astonish the Xiao family today.

Instead, he was the one left in shock.

Without uttering another word, Loong Qingyuan began to gather his belongings!

With a darkened expression, he stormed off without looking back.

His young apprentice followed behind, head bowed.

From behind, Su Ming called out, “No need to rush off. Why not stay for dinner?”

Upon hearing this, Loong Qingyuan nearly stumbled!

He hastened his steps.

Loong Qingyuan resolved to walk away the moment he saw Su Ming!

Watching Loong Qingyuan beat a hasty retreat, they all burst into laughter.

They weren’t really bothered.

People like Loong Qingyuan were not uncommon; they loved to flaunt their treasures.

And if someone was in need, they would surely demand a hefty price.

Now, the sight of a black plastic bag sent Loong Qingyuan into a panic.

For him, it had become the most terrifying object in the world.

Su Ming remained in the villa, enjoying a meal.

The conversation flowed easily and joyfully.

Su Ming didn’t read too much into it, assuming they had simply invited him for a meal.

But in a family as traditional and strict as this, the invitation held significant meaning.

After the meal, the preparation of the Chinese medicine was deemed a success.

They administered the traditional medicine to Grandpa Qin. Although he remained unconscious, a healthy flush returned to his cheeks. His breathing grew stronger, and his blood pressure gradually normalized. The indicators for his organ functions also showed steady improvement. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing he was out of danger.

Su Ming then took his leave and headed home. Xiao Luomu assured him that he would resolve the building issue within the next two days. Xiao Chen gave Su Ming a lift back to his place.

“Brother-in-law, is it okay if I visit you here often?” Xiao Chen asked, poking his head out with a grin.

“No! You better listen to your sister,” Su Ming responded, feigning sternness.

Xiao Chen’s face fell. He had hoped his brother-in-law would indulge him, but now he faced yet another person setting boundaries for him!

“What’s the matter? You don’t seem happy. Should I call your sister?” Su Ming teased, still smiling.

“No!” Xiao Chen shuddered, “I’m very happy! I should get going now, brother-in-law. I won’t bother you any longer!” He quickly got into his car and drove off.

Su Ming chuckled to himself. He could see that Xiao Chen was clever and talented, yet still lacked maturity. Besides, Su Ming had his hands full with farming. Frequent visits from Xiao Chen would only complicate matters.
