Chapter 48: Second-Generation Love Lives
Soon, the time in the game reached [the year 33rd].
After years of drought ended, the world outside the Li family was getting better and better. The Li family's farmland could also be expanded outward.
Although they couldn't go deeper into the Silver Iron Forest, the Li family occasionally hunted around its periphery, where the number of monsters was increasing.
However, Green Valley Village did not see an increase in villagers. This was another drawback of the end of the drought.
Isn't farming in Tailin Town better than farming in a place like Green Valley Village? Especially as Tailin Town became vigilant and began to help civilians restore their livelihoods. The Hu and Wang families spread rumors that Green Valley Village was a gathering place for monsters.
At the same time, rifts developed among the four major families in Tailin Town. The transactions between the Chen family and the Li family made the Hu and Wang families deeply angry, but the Chen family continued to go their own way.
In the past three years of trading, the Chen family has already reaped significant benefits. The 'Body Training Powder' and 'Seven Flavor Elixir' refined by Li Yaoqing have greatly benefited their cultivators.
Li Yaotie would sell them 'Black Iron Beast Blood Armor' components every once in a while. They could also buy monster material and various spiritual herbs from the Li family.
The cooperation between the two families grew deeper.
The Chen family even sought to marry into the Li family.
Li Dalong and Chen Wudi, the head of the Chen family, worked together to introduce Li Yaoqing to the Chen family's eldest young master in hopes of fostering a relationship.
During their dinners, Li Yaoqing would ask questions like, "Do you know much about elixirs? Why take pills? Taking pills increases your body's drug resistance. What do you think about elixirs?"
While shopping, she would inquire about which elixir could thrive in a small, dark alley with constant noise and dust. She even questioned, "If you don't understand elixirs, how can you understand me? Will our children be born with disabilities?"
After only three days, the eldest young master of the Chen family was so put off that he never wanted to see Li Yaoqing again, feeling that marrying her would disrupt family harmony.
Then the poor young master of the Chen family was matched with the Li family's fourth young lady, Li Yaowen.
Spring seemed to come for the eldest young master of the Chen family. Li Yaowen was extraordinarily beautiful, and he fell in love with her at first sight. Despite her frail health, she was well-educated, gentle, and kind, making everyone who met her feel as if a spring breeze had touched them.
The eldest young master of the Chen family even began thinking about names for their future children.
Li Yaowen even agreed to the marriage, and everything seemed set.
But before the betrothal gift was paid, three maids from the Chen family and a concubine of an elder were found to be pregnant by the eldest son of the Chen family.
The scandal quickly spread throughout Tailin Town. Li Dalong was so enraged that he rejected the marriage on the spot.
Chen Wudi, felt deeply that he had lost face and felt guilty towards the Li family. On the same day, he broke the legs of the eldest son of the Chen family. He also presented a large gift to the Li family as an apology.
Afterward, Chen Wudi never dared to bring up the marriage with the Li family again.
"The Chen family wants to marry into our Li family? They are clearly overestimating their capabilities."
In the ancestral hall, Li Yaowen proudly reported to the ancestral tablet of Li Wei, "Ancestor, Yaowen has followed your instructions. With a little trick, we've convinced the Chen family to abandon the idea."
"Hahaha, well done!"
Li Dalong, who had been angry before, was now smiling. "They are all crooked melons. The ancestors were right. When it comes to marriage, character should come first, then by family background, appearance, and potential."
Li Wei, who was lying on the bed and looking at the 500-inch screen, showed a sinister smile.
Marriage is mostly based on interests rather than love; few couples build their relationships on genuine affection.
Li Wei was determined not to bring such intrigues into the family, as it would only cause unnecessary trouble. What the Li family needed now was stable development.
Although he managed to reject the Chen family's marriage.
Li Yaozu also had no plans to marry after he separated from Qu Xiaoxiao.
The guy who surprised Li the most was hiding behind a big tree, looking admiringly at a woman running with a stone in her hands. This woman was nearly 1.9 meters tall, her summer clothes clinging to her well-defined hips and eight-pack abs. Her dark skin glistened with sweat, showcasing her impressive physique.
A true bodybuilding woman.
The peeping Li Yaotie drooled.
"What a strong woman. If she had a child with me, she would definitely give birth to a real man and a hero among women."
"Suck~"
