Chapter 792 - 792: Rich Son-in-Law

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Can I speak with you privately?"

"No!" The person who responded to him was not Nie Longjiao, but Xiao Feng.

The middle-aged man's brow furrowed, "What does this have to do with you?"

"She's my girlfriend. Do you think it has anything to do with me?" Xiao Feng boldly put his arm around Nie Longjiao's shoulder.

Nie Longjiao's eyebrows vaguely furrowed, but she didn't resist.

"You two just wait!" the middle-aged man said menacingly.

The surrounding passengers immediately felt disappointed. They hadn't even had a good bite of the drama before it ended like this?

"Can't you take your hand back now?" Nie Longjiao glared at the hand on her shoulder, her tone clearly displeased.

"Why should I take it back? You're my girlfriend, Jiaojiao," Xiao Feng said inexplicably.

Nie Longjiao snorted coldly, directly moved Xiao Feng's hand away, and said, "What you just did comes with a fee."

"You've learned quite quickly," Xiao Feng said calmly, "But I'm sure you wouldn't dare charge me."

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

"Because you owe me a favor. If you upset me, I'll just fess up to your parents."

Nie Longjiao was speechless for a moment and angrily said, "You win!"

...

Two hours later, Xiao Feng and Nie Longjiao arrived in a small town called Luyang.

The streets weren't very wide, just enough for two cars to pass each other.

Underneath a big tree by the roadside, some old men were smoking and playing chess.

Meanwhile, the women gathered around knitting sweaters for their grandchildren and chatting merrily.

"This place is nice, quite leisurely," Xiao Feng commented. "Perfect for retirement."

Nie Longjiao shook her head slowly, "People can't be this leisurely all the time. Too much idleness can lead to problems."

Xiao Feng neither agreed nor disagreed. Everyone has the life they want, but most can't achieve it, so it's just a beautiful wish or a goal to strive toward.

"Does your family live around here?" Xiao Feng asked.

Nie Longjiao replied, "No, we live in a village. We have to walk a long way, then take a boat to get there."

"Why not just take a taxi?" Xiao Feng pointed at a small red taxi by the road.

"It's too expensive. A distance that can be walked in half an hour would cost 20 to take a taxi, and we're not in any rush. It's unnecessary," Nie Longjiao said. "If you're tired, you can think about it as earning money while walking.

Twenty bucks for half an hour is not bad."

Xiao Feng admitted, "Being this thrifty is quite the skill."

"Aren't you the same?" Nie Longjiao said irritably. "Always thinking about earning money from me."

After speaking, as if she remembered something, she added, "When you meet my parents, be careful."

"Careful about what?"

"Didn't I tell you before? Appear generous."

"Alright, just be generous, that's easy!" Xiao Feng readily agreed.

About twenty minutes later, Nie Longjiao turned into a small convenience store, picked out some snacks and miscellaneous items, a large heap of bags, and handed some to Xiao Feng.

Even if it's a pretense, you should never visit empty-handed on a first visit.

"How much longer?" Xiao Feng asked impatiently.

Nie Longjiao replied, "Not much farther. Go up ahead, take a turn, and go all the way to the end."

Xiao Feng noticed that there were fewer and fewer residences around, it wasn't desolate, but it was close to it.

After turning a corner, a large river appeared at the end of their view.

As they approached, a bamboo raft was spotted by the shore, with a middle-aged couple sitting beside it.

Their appearances were quite ordinary. The woman was named Nie Lan, and the man was named Nie Shouping.

Upon seeing the two, Nie Longjiao exclaimed, "Dad, Mom, when did you get here?"

Nie Lan stood up and smiled, "Your father insisted, rushed us here right after lunch to wait for you."

After speaking, she turned her gaze to Xiao Feng, warmly saying, "You must be my Jiajiao's boyfriend?"

"Hello, Auntie," Xiao Feng greeted with a smile.

Nie Lan nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. Handsome and well-mannered. Your family must be well-off, right?"

"Mom, let's head home first," Nie Longjiao interrupted.

"Right, right, let's go home first, have a meal and chat while we eat," Nie Lan said cheerfully.

With that said, she turned to Nie Shouping, "What are you standing there for? Help carry the stuff."

Nie Shouping walked to Xiao Feng, took the items, and with a smile said, "How about we guys have a drink later?"

"Sure," Xiao Feng nodded in agreement and said, "It's just that Jiaojiao didn't tell me you like to drink. Next time, when I come, I'll bring you some good wine."

"We'll hold you to that then. I'm looking forward to it," Nie Shouping half-jokingly, half-seriously said.

The four of them boarded the bamboo raft and began heading towards the village.

Nie Shouping was responsible for paddling while Nie Lan introduced, "Don't think that our place looks backward. It's only temporary. A bridge will be built soon, and cars will be able to pass.

Oh, by the way, Xiao Feng, you have a car, right?"

"Yes, but it's nothing special, just a few million."

"A few hundred..." Nie Lan was stunned, "A few million can't be considered a good car?"

"Depends on what you compare it with. Compared to those that are tens of thousands, it's much better. But against those worth tens of millions, it falls short."

"Yes, yes, you're right," Nie Lan agreed, looking at Xiao Feng with eyes full of enthusiasm.

This is better than a rich son-in-law. He must not be allowed to slip away!

Xiao Feng, keeping a calm demeanor, observed and admired the scenery along the way.

The river wasn't very fast, with an estimated width of at least twenty meters, numerous trees on the banks, and cultivated land planted with sweet potatoes.

About ten minutes of rowing to the west, a village came into view.

There were many similar bamboo rafts docked on the shore, but they were all chained, seemingly not for public use.

Nie Lan continued to introduce, "This is our village. Over the years, apart from not being very convenient to get around, it doesn't lack anything compared to other villages."

Xiao Feng nodded. This was quite evident.

With a glance, you could see several three-story, even four-story small buildings, and the streets were asphalted, giving a sense of the village being quite prosperous.

After securing the bamboo raft, the group headed into the village.

Nie Lan and Nie Shouping walked ahead, with Xiao Feng and Nie Longjiao carrying the items from behind.

"Lan, is that your son-in-law at the back?" an elderly man around sixty asked.

Nie Lan, beaming, replied, "Not officially yet, but it's only a matter of time."

"The young man is very handsome indeed."

"Not only handsome, but he's also from the city, always driving a car worth millions."

"How much is the car worth?"

"A few million!" Nie Lan answered loudly.
