“Lil Tang, we heard that your cousin was getting engaged. Old Li and the others couldn’t resist, as they wanted to come along too.” In the distance, Liu Dajun yelled, “So, which one is your cousin? I have to congratulate him.”
When he got closer, Liu Dajun put the boxes on the ground and opened them. They were filled with red 100-yuan notes.
Suddenly, there was a racket, and the crowd started to clamor.
Feng Jun, on the other hand, turned as pale as a ghost. His body was swaying slightly, and he almost fainted.
It really was a million yuan!
Oh God! Just what kind of person was this peasant? Not only did he have a million yuan, he even had a group of friends who drove luxury cars.
He suddenly recalled the officer’s earlier reaction and his face became even paler.
This guy was no peasant! He was some kind of bigshot! The kind of bigshot that not even the people from the police station dared to mess with!
“Big Bro Liu, this is my cousin, Shi Dazhu, and this is my cousin-in-law, Gao Ying!” Tang Hao welcomed him and introduced them to Liu Dajun.
“Congratulations! Congratulations!” Liu Dajun walked up to them and shook Shi Dazhu’s hands warmly.
Then, he took a briefcase from Jin Biao and passed it to them. “This is a small gift from the few of us, just take it as a congratulatory present. Keep it!”
Shi Dazhu took it from him and opened it to find that it was filled with red 100-yuan bills as well. There must have been three or four hundred thousand yuan inside.
“This… how can this be? There’s no way I can keep this!”
Shi Dazhu was shocked and tried to push the briefcase back into his hands.
“Sigh! It’s fine, just keep it! It’s just a small gift from us,” President Li and the others spoke up.
The briefcase was shoved around for a bit until finally, Shi Dazhu realized that he could not get rid of it, so he had no choice but to keep it.
“That’s right! When you get married, you have to invite us to your wedding banquet.” Liu Dajun laughed.
The folks from the Gao family stood at the side, feeling as if they were in a dream.
Before this, Shi Dazhu was just a poor wretch, but in the blink of an eye, he had received a million-yuan bride price, a car, and a three-or-four-hundred-thousand-yuan congratulatory present.
His life had turned around instantaneously.
“Who would have known that this Shi Dazhu had such an amazing relative?”
The people of the Gao family started talking among themselves, their words laced slightly with admiration and envy.
Mrs. Gao sighed in relief and was even a little joyful. The more she looked at Shi Dazhu, the more she liked him. To her, if he had such a powerful relative, Shi Dazhu should have a bright future too.
“Mom, will you agree to this marriage now?” Gao Ying walked in front of her and asked softly.
“Of course I do! Why wouldn’t I agree? Your Dazhu is an auspicious man!” Mrs. Gao exclaimed happily. “Then it’s settled. Let’s pick a good date, and we’ll arrange the marriage!”
Gao Ying made a grunt of affirmation, her face flushed.
Tang Hao’s uncle and aunt were now smiling. They both walked up and started chatting with Mrs. Gao.
Even though Mrs. Gao had been slightly snobbish before, they could understand why she acted the way she did. After all, they would all be family in the future, so they should not hold onto these grudges.
At that moment, the entire village was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Feng Jun, the matchmaker, and the others took advantage of everyone’s inattention and left in disgrace.
Chapter 84 - Liu Bingyao’s Call
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
That afternoon, the entire village was filled with a festive atmosphere.
It was the first time in many years that someone in the village had won the hand of a woman from the city. Tang Hao’s million-yuan bride price just added to their elation.
After a discussion between the two families, the wedding date was set for a little over a month’s time.
Tang Hao’s aunt held onto him, thanking him profusely.
His grandparents were overjoyed, and they held onto the couple, wishing them to have children as soon as possible.
Finally, Tang Hao managed to pull away to join Liu Dajun and the rest for a visit to the construction site.
“Lil Tang, the plantation is almost done. What’s your next step?” Liu Dajun asked.
Tang Hao stood on the top of the hill and looked down at the construction site that was bustling with activity with a contemplative look on his face.
He had thought about this before.
The plantation was just the first step, as it would be used to supply the medicinal herbs that were in short supply in the market. The next step would be large-scale production.
After he mastered the talisman seal technique, he could create an Artifact to replace himself and activate the medicinal herbs’ medicinal powers. Then, large-scale production could be achieved.
However, he was hesitant. Which kind of medicine should he choose as the first product to enter the market with?
Weight-loss tea? Aphrodisiac? Health care potion? Or cosmetic cream?
“Which medicine do you guys think is best?” He asked Liu Dajun and the rest.
“The aphrodisiac, of course! What man wouldn’t want something like that?” Jin Biao replied nonchalantly.
Then, the others started to chime in.
President Li had a differing opinion. “I think weight-loss tea would be better. Think about it, aphrodisiac products like Viagra might not be as effective as Lil Tang’s products, but they are a lot more well-known.”
“As for weight-loss tea, the ones available in the market right now are all fake. However, Lil Tang’s weight-loss tea is extremely effective; if it’s properly publicized, it will cause a sensation.”
“That’s true!” Liu Dajun and the rest nodded in agreement.
Tang Hao thought about it, then nodded too. “That makes sense!”
This weight-loss medicine was the first medicine he made. Until now, he could still remember the misfortune that befell the pigs at uncle’s house that night.
“Then let’s pick the weight-loss tea!” Tang Hao clapped and said. “But there’s no rush, we’ll have to finish this plantation first.”
“Yup yup, no rush! No rush!” Liu Dajun and the rest respond affirmatively.
Very quickly, a few days passed.
Tang Hao had spent those few days practicing. Every morning, he would take a trip to Dragonrock Village to take a look at his saplings, then he would check the growth of the lingzhi mushrooms.
With the irrigation supplied by the magical spring and the nourishment provided by the leyline’s magical energy, the two medicines grew at an alarming rate. They could grow a lot each day, making the growth rate extremely gratifying.
This morning, as Tang Hao returned from Dragonrock Village, he received a phone call.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a stranger’s number.
“Who’s this?” Tang Hao muttered as he answered the call.
“Hey! Is this Tang Hao?” A sweet voice came from the other end of the call.
Tang Hao was stunned but recovered quickly. “You’re…Liu Bingyao?”
“Yup! It’s me!”
Tang Hao was stunned. “How did you get my number?”
“I got it from Li Fei.”
“Oh!” Tang Hao responded. He did not know what to say since he was not familiar with Liu Bingyao at all.
Back in junior high, Liu Bingyao was the school’s beauty, while he was just an obscure village boy. They were from completely different worlds. Even though they were classmates, they barely spoke to each other.
Once they entered senior high, they were assigned to different classes and rarely saw each other.
&n
bsp; “Then… is there something I can help you with?” Tang Hao asked.
“Are you free today? I… I want to treat you to lunch.” Liu Bingyao mumbled somewhat shyly.
It was her first time actively inviting someone of the opposite gender out for a meal.
“I still haven’t thanked you properly for saving me!” Liu Bingyao continued, “I had initially wanted to invite you out for a meal sooner, but after what happened that day, my parents were very afraid and didn’t let me out of the house for a while.”
“They only agreed this time because they heard that I wanted to treat you to a meal.”
Tang Hao paused for a moment but eventually accepted.
He did not think that it was polite to decline her invitation.
Suddenly, Liu Bingyao sounded a little more excited, “That’s great, let’s meet in half an hour at the entrance of the city center’s book store.”
“Okay!” Tang Hao responded,
“Then, I’ll see you later!” Liu Bingyao said and ended the call.
Once he put down the phone, Tang Hao pondered for a moment, trying to decide if he should change his clothes. However, when he thought about it, other than the few suits he owned, he did not have any nice clothes.
‘I don’t think I have to wear a suit to go have lunch with Liu Bingyao!’
“Ah forget it, I’ll just dress more casually!”
He muttered to himself, then changed into a clean shirt before leaving.
He got on the bus, and after 20 minutes, he arrived at the city center, right at the entrance of the book store.
After waiting for a moment, he suddenly heard a commotion from the side of the street. He turned around and was in shock.
At the other end of the street, a beautiful figure was gliding forward.
Her body was slender, graceful, and well-endowed. She was wearing a pure white chiffon dress while a pair of clean, straight, and beautiful legs stood exposed beneath the dress.
She had a face of unparalleled beauty, with her looks so dazzling that it was nearly suffocating.
She walked over gracefully, her white skirt fluttering in the breeze, making her look especially angelic. She had an aura that seemed otherworldly, as if she had just walked out out a painting.
Her appearance captured the attention of every person on the street.
Every man on the street was watching her in a daze. There were sounds of utter amazement, and many of them were captivated by her beauty, unable to tear their eyes away. If they were not careful, they would accidentally walk into poles, crying out in pain.
At that moment, the street was full of commotion.
“F*ck, she’s top-tier goods!” Many vulgar beasts were almost drooling.
Quite a few of them looked like they were tempted to make a move and ask her out.
Looking at this beautiful girl, Tang Hao marveled at her. She was born beautiful, but after dressing up carefully, she had become even more gorgeous. No matter where she went, she was the focus of attention.
Tang Hao looked around and suddenly felt immense pressure. If he stood with such a beautiful girl, he would no doubt be under scrutiny as well.
However, he had gone out with Sis Xiangyi quite a few times, so he had more or less gotten used to it.
Sis Xiangyi was mature and sexy, so no matter where they went, the situation would be almost identical to this.
In a moment, the young lady walked over. Her lovely eyes scanned the crowd and suddenly fell upon Tang Hao’s figure.
She pursed her lips, and her dainty face broke into a bright smile.
Her smile melted the hearts of the men around her.
Then, she hurried over and grinned at Tang Hao, speaking in a flirtatious tone, “You’re here!”
Suddenly, the men around them were stunned, and their deadly gazes simultaneously fell upon Tang Hao.
When they took in Tang Hao’s appearance and outfit, they were even more baffled.
This guy looked alright, but he was dressed so shabbily. He was so far out of this beauty’s league.
“Damn, what kind of logic is this?”
Many people started murmuring indignantly as they stared at Tang Hao, their gazes full of jealousy and envy.
Chapter 85 - Meeting Zhang Tianhao Again

The beauty before him was so beautiful it made people gasp for air.
No matter how many beauties he had seen before, Tang Hao would still be slightly dazed every time he laid eyes on one.
“Tang Hao, you must have been waiting for a while!” Liu Bingyao said gently.
“No, I arrived not long ago!” Tang Hao shook his head.
“Let’s go then!” Liu Bingyao said with a smile. As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the left. “There’s a really good restaurant over there, let’s go there!”
“Alright!” Tang Hao agreed.
“Let’s go!” Liu Bingyao led the way. There was a smile on her face, and her steps were light. She seemed very excited.
“I haven’t been outdoors in so long, this feels… amazing!”
As she said that, she turned around and smiled brightly at Tang Hao.
Under the sunlight, her beautiful eyes were as clear as glass, without a single flaw.
When he saw her like that, Tang Hao felt a little relieved. He was worried that after going through that incident, she would be traumatized.
“Tang Hao, regarding that incident, thank you. If you hadn’t gotten there in time, Liu Jiawei would have gone through with his plan!”
When she brought up that incident, her expression dimmed slightly.
Tang Hao replied, “It’s fine, it was my duty to do so. Liu Jiawei will finally pay for his crimes. He’s now in jail, so I’m sure he’s not having a good time.”
“I hope so. He should be jailed a few more years!” Liu Bingyao wrinkled her nose and said indignantly. “I always thought he was a no-good player, but I never thought that he would be such a disgusting, nasty person.”
“That’s what you call knowing someone on the surface, but not knowing what’s in their hearts!” Tang Hao said.
Liu Bingyao made a grunt of agreement.
“Oh, right, Tang Hao, I haven’t asked you what you’ve been up to. In the past three years, you’ve changed drastically. It almost seems like you’re a completely different person.”
Liu Bingyao turned around and gave him a once-over, her beautiful eyes scrutinizing Tang Hao.
“Is that so?” Tang Hao asked, neither agreeing nor denying.
“Yeah! I remember back in junior high, you were very untalkative, like a closed-up gourd. But now, you’re a lot more cheerful.
“Oh yeah, I also heard the others mention that you didn’t go to college.”
Tang Hao nodded, “When I was in the second year of senior high, I was expelled because I got into a fight.”
Liu Bingyao responded with an “ah”, appearing to be somewhat surprised.
“But fortunately, after I was expelled, I learned some medicinal skills and saved the secretary’s son. That’s why Captain Zhou was so polite to me the other day.”
“I see! That’s pretty good too. The secretary is a high-ranking official. When I told my parents about it, they were amazed by what you did.” Liu Bingyao said, smiling.
“Now, I’m doing some business. Recently, I’ve acquired a plantation and started planting medicinal herbs. In the future, I’ll open a factory, and eventually a company.” Tang Hao said.
Liu Bingyao smiled and said happily, “Then in the future, I’ll have to call you Boss Tang.”
Tang Hao was happy and smiled back.
The two chatted as they walked.
After walking for a bit, Liu Bingyao suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Tang Hao. “Oh right, are you and Fangfang…?”
Tang Hao was surprised and replied hurriedly, “No, not yet.”
Liu Bingyao’s e
yes glinted, and she suddenly seemed a lot more relaxed, “I’m relieved!”
Tang Hao was stunned.
“What I meant was, since you two aren’t dating, then I feel a little less pressured about inviting you out. Otherwise, if we were spotted by others, things would not end well,” Liu Bingyao explained.
“True!” Tang Hao agreed.
After walking a little further, they arrived at the restaurant.
It was still a little early, but there were already quite a few people in the restaurant. The business there was very good.
After they both sat down at the table, they ordered a few dishes which amounted to two hundred yuan.
As they ate, Liu Bingyao brought up many things about herself.
When he heard that she had managed to get into Z University, Tang Hao was slightly stunned. His cousin’s aunt’s darling son was studying there. Among the Chinese universities, Z University was one of the higher-ranking ones.
If he had not been expelled, even with his grades, there was no guarantee that he would be able to get into that university.
When he thought about that, Tang Hao felt a little dejected.
However, very soon the feeling had faded. Now, it did not matter to him if he did not get into university.
“Tang Hao, are you free in the afternoon?” Liu Bingyao asked suddenly.
“Yeah, I am. What’s up?”
“Then can you go shopping with me? It was so hard for me to come outside, so I don’t want to go back so quickly.” Liu Bingyao looked at him with puppy dog eyes and pleaded sincerely.
Tang Hao was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.
“Alright! I’m not busy anyway,” Tang Hao responded.
“That’s great!” Liu Bingyao exclaimed happily.
After they finished eating, the two walked out of the restaurant and went along the street.
As they were strolling, Liu Bingyao suddenly pointed at an ice-cream shop in front of them and asked, “Tang Hao, do you want to have some ice-cream?”
