"I see." Feng Ao Kuai nodded.
They continued to talk about some other matters as the carriage finally reached Sheng Village. Like what Sheng Shan Lang said, the villagers welcomed them warmly and seemed to be very cordial towards Feng Ao Si.
Seeing the baffled Feng Ao Si, Feng Ao Kuai felt that their mother might have worked too hard to brush favorability points with these villagers.
After some talk, they finally reached Sheng Shan Lang's house.
"I don't think I'll get used with their warm treatment." Feng Ao Si was troubled.
Sheng Shan Lang laughed. "Having good reputation will make your life easier if you choose to stay in the village. Anyway, the villagers also like my sister and will not make things difficult for you."
"Such as?" Feng Ao Si had no clue about living in the village. Aside from being in the army, he only had the life as the young master of Feng Family. Where would he have the time to find out more about the lives in the countryside?
"You can get information more easily. Also, you can trade food with them easier." Sheng Shan Lang used to be a hunter and usually sell his game to the other villagers to trade for other types of food that he needed. In any case, they were far away from market and trading with fellow villagers would be faster.
It was not like they had a lot of things to be traded.
"Trade food, huh?" Feng Ao Si felt that he might need some time to adapt to this kind of life. He was used to have the servants prepare for food and didn't have to worry about it at all.
"Anyway, you can also bring her to your land if you don't want to stay here all the time." Sheng Shan Lang glanced at Feng Ao Si. "You also have nobility rank, so you have some properties, right?"
"Yeah, in Wind City." Feng Ao Si didn't care that much about those properties. With his current salary, he could get more properties if he wanted to. In any case, his father had already given him more than enough things. Not to mention, his mother was by no means poor.
For him, the problem of money was nothing to be concerned of.
Sheng Shan Lang who could barely buy another house in a city nearby: "…"
He felt that if he were to compare his wealth with Feng Ao Si, he would definitely feel that he was so poor. Rather than hurting his heart, it would be better for him not to think too much about it.
"Do you want to go there?"
"That will depend on what Qi Rou wants." Feng Ao Si had no opinion about this matter. If Sheng Qi Rou wanted to stay in Sheng Village, he will just arrange for some people to protect her. If she wanted to go to Wind City, he will bring her there and also arrange some people to protect her.
"Wind City was destroyed three years ago during the war, right? Has it been repaired?" Nan Luo asked curiously.
Feng Ao Kuai nodded. "It has been settled and those whose houses were destroyed received their compensation. I heard that the officials from the Capital City was deployed to take care of this matter two years ago.
"I see."
"Qi Rou, I'm back!" Sheng Shan Lang called his sister from the door.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps from inside and then the door opened. Sheng Qi Rou looked at her brother and then at the man behind him. She showed a bright and sweet smile.
"Brother, Brother Si."
Feng Ao Si smiled back in response.
And Sheng Shan Lang looked at the two of them before averting his eyes away. He began to wonder whether picking a military commander as his sister's husband would be good or not. After all, Feng Ao Si definitely couldn't stay and accompany Sheng Qi Rou all the time.
"Come in, I'll prepare food for you."
"Qi Rou, it'll be your marriage soon. Have you prepared everything?" Sheng Shan Lang was stunned.
"Mother in law is the one taking care of everything." Sheng Qi Rou blushed. There were also some people in the village who helped, mostly some older women who were quite idle and wanted to help.
"If there's anything that I can do…"
"You just have to attend, Brother."
Sheng Shan Lang: "…" Why do I feel so useless?
The others walked inside and also eat together. At this time, Sheng Shan Lang also reminded his sister of a few things that he had to pay attention when with Feng Ao Si. All of this was done right in front of Feng Ao Si's face.
"Brother!" Sheng Qi Rou rolled her eyes. "I'm not that stupid."
"I'm just telling you so that you won't be taken advantage by him too much." Sheng Shan Lang showed an innocent expression.
Feng Ao Si: "…" did you forget who invited me to come in the first place?
Beside him, Feng Ao Kuai said nothing and only nodded internally. The matter of money management could never fall in Feng Ao Si's hand unless they wanted to get bankrupt overnight.
This stupid man could never take care of money and will always buy things that were unnecessary.
He had no sense of… saving money.
"Don't worry, Brother Si is a good person and will not fight with you over the matter of money management once you're married." Feng Ao Kuai poked his older brother with his chopsticks.
"Yes, yes!" Feng Ao Si nodded his head heavily.
Even now, the one who managed his money was actually Feng Ao Kuai. But he would never admit it out loud in front of others. This matter better be kept a secret within his family forever.
The group continued eating and chatting with Nan Hua standing at the side. There was a hint of smile in her eyes.
She hoped Feng Ao Si will be happy.
