The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 304 - Very Different

Half an hour had gone by.

The crowd at the entrance kept a respectful silence.

Everyone was holding their breath in anticipation.

They were all eager to see who would emerge once the doors opened.

From a distance, Su Ming was driving his truck, drawing closer at a steady pace.

He noticed a throng of people obstructing his home's entrance.

Confusion set in for Su Ming.

What could have happened?

Was there an incident at the door?

Perhaps a car accident?

Yet, the scene didn't resemble the aftermath of a crash.

He inched the truck forward until it could no longer advance due to the sheer number of people.

The road was completely blocked!

Su Ming blinked and steered his truck to the roadside.

Stepping out, he surveyed the scene with a sense of awkwardness.

He had made it to his doorstep but couldn't enter.

“Brother, what's happening inside?” Su Ming inquired of a young man nearby.

“Little brother, take in this spectacle. You've arrived at the perfect moment. With all these celebrities gathered, something significant must have gone down! I'm determined to wait it out patiently. If I can see it with my own eyes, I'll have stories to tell for years to come!”

The young man glanced back at Su Ming, then at the truck behind him, and quickly caught on, speaking excitedly.

“It's a shame I can't get a clear view from here. Little brother, your truck is pretty great. Mind if I sit in the passenger seat for a bit? It's higher up, which should give me a better vantage point to see inside!”

The young man's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

By the time he had arrived, the place was already swarming with onlookers.

He couldn't make out anything from his position.

But Su Ming's truck had an elevated driver's seat.

If he could just sit there, he was sure to have a clear view of the entrance.

As for climbing a tree to get a better look…

That wasn't an option since a few individuals had already been detained for doing just that in the nearby police cars.

Truth be told, the young man felt a twinge of envy towards those in the police cars.

They were closer and had a clear line of sight.

But this young man had recently landed a good job.

If he got arrested for mere curiosity, he risked losing it all.

That would be a tremendous loss!

“Okay!”

Su Ming simply nodded in response.

“Alrighty!”

The young man was thrilled.

He quickly climbed into Su Ming's truck and took his place in the passenger seat.

What a broad view from here.

The young man activated his phone.

He turned on the camera function and zoomed in.

“Little brother, the passenger seat can squeeze in two, I'll join you up there!”

“Okay!”

Su Ming was unfazed.

“Little brother, I'm Little Streamer. May I sit in your driver's seat? Don't worry, I can compensate you!”

“Sure.”

Su Ming was indifferent.

Helping others is a virtue.

Plus, there was nothing in his truck worth stealing.

Even if they took the truck, it wouldn't matter.

But they had to leave the chickens behind.

“Little brother, may I sit on your car's roof?”

“I'll offer 200 for a spot on the roof!”

“I'll bid 500 for a back seat!”

“I'll go 1000!”

Su Ming's truck had four seats, front and back.

People could sit in the back as well.

Soon, Su Ming's cab was packed with passengers.

Two were perched on the roof.

Another two clung to the sides of the truck.

Su Ming wasn't pressed for time.

He suspected an emergency must be unfolding ahead.

Thankfully, the chickens were in good health.

It wasn't hot.

The chickens were unlikely to come to any harm in the back of the truck.

Su Ming decided to wait a bit longer.

“Half an hour has gone by. Why isn't my brother-in-law awake yet?”

Xiao Chen stood at the back, surveying the area.

“Keep it down and wait! If you upset Mr. Su, I swear I'll thrash you today.”

“I'm sorry! I'll keep waiting!”

When Xiao Chen caught his father's stern gaze, he quickly stood at attention.

But his behind was sore.

Xiao Chen's legs ached from standing too long, and sitting too long made his behind hurt.

He was struggling to keep standing.

He scanned the area.

He desperately wanted to tell his brother-in-law, “Staying up late is bad for your health.”

“Why can't you just go to bed earlier?”

Xiao Chen was lamenting when suddenly, something caught his eye.

Xiao Chen whipped his head around abruptly.

He spotted a strikingly handsome face peering curiously from the edge of the crowd.

Wasn't that his brother-in-law?

They had all been eagerly awaiting his arrival.

But why was he being held back outside?

The very person they had been anticipating for so long was inadvertently barred from joining them.

What a massive misunderstanding!

“Dad.”

Xiao Chen turned to his father in a rush and uttered a single word.

“Quiet!”

Xiao Luomu snapped, turning to glare at Xiao Chen.

The look in his eyes sent a shiver down Xiao Chen's spine.

“Mom?”

Xiao Chen shifted his gaze to his mother.

“No talking!”

Yueqiu's face was etched with sternness.

“Sister!”

Xiao Chen turned to Xiao Ke'er.

“Chen, I can put up with your antics normally, but this is a crucial time. Just wait a bit longer!”

Xiao Ke'er's expression was no-nonsense.

Xiao Chen's mouth hung open, but he was too flustered to form any words.

Was he really that invisible?

Couldn't they spare a moment to hear him out?

“Sister, look!”

Xiao Chen tugged at Xiao Ke'er's sleeve and pointed outside.

Xiao Ke'er paused, then glanced sideways.

Mr. Su?

Oh my goodness!

The person on the outskirts was Mr. Su himself!

“Dad!”

Xiao Ke'er turned to Xiao Luomu and spoke up.

“What is it, my dear? Are you feeling tired? There's water in the car, go have a drink.”

Xiao Luomu responded immediately.

Beside him, Xiao Chen was utterly baffled.

Dad!

He was right there!

Could the disparity in the way he treated him and his sister be any more apparent?

Xiao Chen began to doubt if he was truly Xiao Luomu's own son.

He would get a glare and nearly a thrashing for speaking out of turn, while his sister received nothing but gentle responses.

Xiao Chen's heart sank.

“Dad, look!”

Xiao Ke'er pointed outside again.

“Who is that?”

Xiao Luomu looked on, puzzled.

It wasn't his fault, though.

He had never met Su Ming before.

“Grandpa Tang, Grandpa Qin, is that Mr. Su over there?”

Xiao Ke'er addressed the two elderly gentlemen.

Upon hearing this, the two elderly gentlemen were utterly perplexed.

Wasn't Mr. Su supposed to be asleep inside the house?

Simultaneously, the two seniors glanced to the side.

Indeed, it was Mr. Su!

The group had been waiting for quite some time.

They were expecting Mr. Su to awaken and open the door.

Yet, they had inadvertently left Mr. Su stranded outside.

“Girl, thank goodness you spotted Mr. Su. Go quickly and bring him inside!”

“Exactly. Otherwise, who knows how much longer we would have been waiting. You've really distinguished yourself this time!”

“This young man is Mr. Su. You should take a leaf out of your sister's book and learn how she discovered Mr. Su, while you've been of no help at all!”

They all moved briskly toward the side.

Xiao Chen overheard them from behind.

He felt deeply aggrieved.

It was he who had actually discovered Mr. Su!

Xiao Chen was on the verge of tears.

Ultimately, he resigned himself to his fate.

He was at the very bottom of the family hierarchy.

But he was accustomed to it.

He was a person of strong resolve!
