"Dad, Mom, little brother, I’m back."

Wang Hong pulled Wang Jingman into the yard and immediately shouted towards the house.

Soon, the elderly couple happily came out from the house.

Wang Hong’s parents looked quite young, around sixty, and in good health.

They walked at a very fast pace.

"Hong, you’re back. If you hadn’t come, your dad and I would have to visit you."

The elderly couple looked at Wang Hong, their expressions very excited and happy.

Wang Hong was equally, if not more, excited.

"Mom, Dad, it’s just been inconvenient the past two years, so I didn’t come. But since I had the chance, I came back this time," Wang Hong replied happily.

"Ah, it’s good you’re back. We missed you so much over these two years," Wang Hong’s mother said.

"Mom, where’s little brother? Where did he go?" Wang Hong smiled and then asked.

"Oh, your brother? Knowing you were coming back, he went out early to buy groceries. He should be back soon. Why don’t you sit inside first?" said Wang Hong’s mother.

"Okay."

Wang Hong nodded and immediately led Wang Jingman and Chen Yang into the house.

Once inside, Wang Hong’s parents eagerly asked about the identity of Chen Yang and Wang Jingman.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hong immediately said:

"Mom, Dad, this is Chen Yang, whom I mentioned to you over the phone."

"Ah? This is Chen Yang? Such a young lad?" Hearing that it was Chen Yang, Wang Hong’s parents were both surprised.

And Chen Yang, seeing their expressions, was also quite baffled.

Did they know him?

That was impossible; he’d never dealt with anyone from Fuling Village, except the aunts in his own village.

"Yes, this is Chen Yang, a young university student. Without him, Liuhe Village wouldn’t have changed so much," Wang Hong said with a smile, nodding.

"Wow, he’s so accomplished at such a young age. From what I heard on the phone about your village’s changes, I thought Chen Yang would be at least a middle-aged man. I didn’t expect him to be so young," Wang Hong’s mother exclaimed, amazed, even finding it a bit hard to believe.

"Honey, why do you say that? Didn’t you hear Hong say he’s a university student? It’s not only middle-aged laborers who have the capability," Wang Hong’s father chided, then turned to Chen Yang with a smile, "Don’t mind her, she’s just not very articulate."

"It’s no problem, sir," Chen Yang waved it off with a smile, not taking it seriously.

"Honey, we have guests, quickly pour some water. Why are you just standing there?"

"Oh, oh, right."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hong’s mother joyfully went to pour water, while Wang Hong’s father sat in the hall, chatting with Wang Hong and Chen Yang.

"Hong, you’ve been away for two years, and our village has changed a lot too. Do you remember the small hill on the west side of the village where you often herded cattle with your brother as a child?" Wang Hong’s father suddenly said with a smile.

Immersed in the joy of returning to her family, Wang Hong wasn’t in a hurry to discuss serious matters.

Unexpectedly, her father was the first to bring it up.

"I remember. That piece of land now has a lot of coal mines discovered on it, doesn’t it?" Wang Hong said directly.

Her father was taken aback, "Hey, Hong, how did you know about this? Has the news spread that fast?"

Wang Hong smiled, "Dad, actually, I came back today because of the coal mine. I wanted to discuss some things with you."

Her words left her father even more puzzled.

He didn’t understand what Wang Hong meant by this.

"The tea is here, everyone have a cup,"

Before he could ask, Wang Hong’s mother arrived with a teapot, pouring a cup each for Chen Yang and Wang Jingman.

"Thank you, ma’am," Chen Yang and Wang Jingman said simultaneously.

"No need to be so polite."

Wang Hong’s mother chuckled, placing the teapot aside.

Only then did Wang Hong’s father, still puzzled, ask, "Hong, what do you mean by that? What is there to discuss about the coal mine?"

"Dad, the village discovered the coal mine, and someone has come to acquire it, right? What terms did they offer our village?" Wang Hong didn’t express her thoughts right away but first inquired about the current village situation.

Having been away for a long time, she wasn’t very clear about the village’s situation.

The information about the coal mine had come from Chen Yang.

"Yes, I heard someone has come to negotiate with the town’s office, but they haven’t been to our village yet. I’ve heard they plan to compensate each household with about five hundred thousand. Why?" Wang Hong’s father thought for a moment and replied.

Hearing about the five hundred thousand, Wang Hong glanced at Chen Yang.

They had already discussed this amount on the car ride.

It was pretty much what Chen Yang had anticipated.

"Dad, is there nothing else apart from the five hundred thousand?" Wang Hong turned her gaze back to her father and continued to ask.

"There shouldn’t be, the information isn’t clear yet. The details will have to wait. Hong, why are you asking all this?" Wang Hong’s father answered Wang Hong’s question seriously, then couldn’t help but ask her opinion on the matter.

Having almost fully understood the situation, Wang Hong naturally began to explain her intention for this visit.

"Dad, the village’s coal mine can be sold, but it must not be sold to the Gu Family," Wang Hong said directly.

"Huh? Why not?"

Wang Hong’s father was confused.

"Because this company is notorious for being ruthless in business. If we cooperate with them, our village won’t fare well. Besides, the price they offer is a bit low. You mustn’t agree," Wang Hong explained.

In the family, Wang Hong’s opinions were valued significantly.

This was evident from how her parents welcomed her, not viewing her as a daughter married off and forgotten.

"Really? I hadn’t heard about this. The village says this Gu Family company is a big corporation, it shouldn’t be like that," Wang Hong’s father remarked, surprised by her words.

Wang Hong’s mother shared the same astonished expression.

"Hong, you might be overthinking it. The villagers say the Gu Family group is quite influential. How could it be as you say?"

Wang Hong turned her gaze to her mother, "Mom, the Gu Family group also collaborates with our village. How can I not know how they operate? Today, not only have I returned, but Sister Zhang and all those married in neighboring villages have come back too, to persuade you not to cooperate with the Gu Family."

"And when have I ever lied to you both? It’s my home, and of course, I hope our family prospers."

Wang Hong spoke earnestly and confidently.

After hearing her words, the two elders, although shocked, were more inclined to trust their daughter, right?

"How could this happen? But currently, it seems our village can only collaborate with the Gu Family. What should we do?" Wang Hong’s father appeared anxious.

Seeing this, Wang Hong quickly said, "Dad, didn’t I just say? I came back today specifically for this matter."

Saying this, she glanced at Chen Yang and Wang Jingman, "Dad, Chen Yang is actually very interested in the coal mine in our village. He wants to acquire it, so you can definitely sell it to him."
