The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1086 - 909, A Thousand Miles to Find Husband

With the arrival of the Sun Family’s trading caravan, Ganzhou City saw the addition of a few shops selling specialties from other inland regions. Items that were hard to come by in previous years such as food, fabrics, and household utensils became available.

To establish a long-term presence in Ganzhou City, Sun Changze bought a house along the street near the Dong Family’s property.

On the day the house was set up, the members of the Dong Family all came to Sun’s Residence to warm the house for Sun Changze and Dong Yuanyao.

"Father-in-law!"

After Dong Yuanyao entered the house with Elder Mrs. Dong, Madam Dong, and Liu Xiaoman, Sun Changze stayed behind to welcome his father-in-law and cousin.

Facing his father-in-law, Sun Changze was still as nervous and uneasy as ever.

And Dong Jiancheng, regarding his son-in-law Sun Changze, had mixed feelings.

Initially, when this man persuaded his daughter to elope with him, he truly detested him;

Later, when the Dong Family faced adversity, not only did this man not avoid them, but he also actively helped, which improved his impression significantly. However, having his pampered daughter married to him still left him somewhat uneasy.

Dong Yuanxuan, seeing both faces tense, smiled and eased the mood, "Changze, have you chosen a site for the oil extraction mill?"

Relieved by the question, Sun Changze smiled and said, "Yes, it’s not far from the Li Family’s textile factory."

Dong Yuanxuan nodded, "Actually, your choice to develop here is right. The land for the oil mill is free to use, which can save you quite a bit of silver."

"Furthermore, military procurement has been assigned to you, which guarantees your sales."

At this point, Dong Jiancheng spoke up, "Besides opening shops and an oil mill, do you have any other plans?"

Sun Changze glanced at his cousin, who was smiling silently, and said with determination, "Yuyu was born, and I no longer want to travel everywhere. Coming to Xiliang, I want to develop well here and earn a family fortune for Yuyu."

Dong Jiancheng, noncommittal, paused then said, "If you wish to earn a family fortune for Yuyu, then you must work hard."

"Yeyang is determined to properly manage Xiliang. With his status and capability, as long as the external threat from Xiliao is resolved and the ineffective local bureaucrats are removed, Xiliang’s potential for future development is enormous."

"Those who come earlier will definitely have a head start. If you have the capacity, you can also manage more industries related to people’s livelihood. The authorities are supportive in this aspect now."

"Like the Li Family, they found a valley in the western part of Ganzhou suitable for grape cultivation and immediately bought the land to establish a grape plantation for winemaking."

"Such a large piece of land, only because Xiliang is lacking in resources and undeveloped, were they allowed to purchase it. You wouldn’t even think of obtaining such a deal elsewhere."

"I heard that Li Chenzhi has already scoped out shops in Jinwei Guard and Lanwu Guard to open branches. Once the wine is produced, there won’t be a worry about sales."

Hearing this, Sun Changze immediately expressed that he would venture out more in the future to look for suitable business opportunities for the Sun Family.

Seeing that he took his advice, Dong Jiancheng said no more.

...

Xiao Yeyang took a couple of days of rest at home, then went to inspect three military towns. Seeing that the soldiers’ morale and appearance had greatly improved, and they were all diligently practicing every day, he showed a look of satisfaction.

"The daily training must not be neglected. More practice now means less bloodshed on the battlefield. Also, daily patrols must not be overlooked."

Cao Dan, seeing Xiao Yeyang speaking earnestly, quickly asked, "Sir, is there movement from Xiliao?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded, "The four guards adjacent to Xiliao are all strengthening their military towns, Xiliao will naturally not remain unresponsive."

"I took a detour through Jianzhou Guard when I returned from Liangdu and encountered Xiliao scouts along the road."

Saying this, he scoffed.

"The Xiliao people are still not giving up on taking Xiliang."

Cao Dan became more solemn, "Rest assured, sir, I will intensify the training of the soldiers."

Xiao Yeyang hummed, "In a few days, a batch of military weapons will be delivered. Arm all the soldiers with them. Ganzhou Guard is closest to Xiliao, so defense must be thoroughly ensured."

Cao Dan nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yeyang had finished giving all his instructions and was ready to leave.

Just as he stepped out of the Ganxuan Town gate, Su Hongxin rode up on his horse.

Xiao Yeyang looked at him: "How come you’re out here?"

Su Hongxin smiled and said, "Isn’t it your birthday tomorrow? I happen to have the day off, so I came to celebrate with you."

Xiao Yeyang chuckled, riding forward: "You’re just here for the free food, aren’t you?"

Su Hongxin laughed heartily, not denying it at all.

Xiao Yeyang noticed he had tanned quite a bit, and asked: "How is it, getting used to staying in the barracks?"

Su Hongxin said: "There’s nothing to get used to, but I... I kind of miss home." Saying this, he hummed, "It’s been over a year since I came here, and my wife hasn’t sent me a single letter. I don’t even know if my child is a boy or a girl."

Xiao Yeyang had no sympathy for him: "That’s what you get for leaving home without saying a word."

Su Hongxin was crestfallen: "Yes, it’s my own fault."

...

On the first day of June, Xiao Yeyang turned twenty-three.

The Xiao Residence didn’t throw a big party, just invited Dong Yuanxuan and his wife, Dong Yuanyao and his wife, Li Chenzhi and his wife, along with Su Hongxin to gather.

As everyone was an old acquaintance, Daohua didn’t separate the seating by gender, and everyone sat together to chat and have a laugh.

Inside the hall, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao held Dong Yuanxuan’s son tight, teasing the little guy with toys, making him giggle nonstop.

Just before dinner started, Guyu hurried in, glanced at Su Hongxin, and whispered to Daohua: "Miss, there’s a Madam outside claiming to be Mister Su’s wife, looking for him."

Daohua’s hand playing with the toys paused mid-air, bewildered, she looked at Guyu: "Who’s here?"

The others also stopped talking and looked over here.

Guyu glanced at Su Hongxin: "Mister Su’s wife."

Daohua turned to look at Su Hongxin, hesitated for a moment, then quickly stood up and said, "What are you waiting for, invite her in quickly."

Saying so, she began moving outside.

Taking a few steps, noticing Su Hongxin still standing frozen, she had to turn back and say: "Big brother Su, your wife is here, aren’t you going to greet her?"

Su Hongxin was clearly still in a daze, sitting unmoved: "Could it be a mistake? My wife wouldn’t come to Xiliang, could it be a scammer?"

Daohua was somewhat speechless: "I doubt anyone would dare to scam people at the Xiao Residence, besides, not many people know your identity in Ganzhou Guard."

Xiao Yeyang also stood up, "Enough, don’t just sit there, whether it’s a scammer or not, we’ll know if we go out and see."

As soon as these words fell, a loud female voice rang out from the courtyard.

"Su Hongxin, get the hell out here!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Su Hongxin, then quickly stood up and turned to the door, whereupon a red-dressed woman holding a child stormed into view.

"Whoosh~"

Upon seeing the person, Su Hongxin dashed out like the wind: "Wife, it’s really you!"

He Fangyi saw Su Hongxin, a touch of moisture appeared in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. As Su Hongxin approached, she handed the child to the maid behind her and then fiercely twisted Su Hongxin’s ear.

"Imagine that, Su Hongxin! Sneaking off to Xiliang without a word, making me travel thousands of miles with our child to find you."

"Ow, wife, it hurts!" Su Hongxin tiptoed in pain, pleading continuously, "Wife, I was wrong, I already regret it, please forgive me."
