The feeling of being wealthy is simply exhilarating. Chapter 790: The feeling of being wealthy is simply exhilarating. "Looking at how you're running this estate—more humble than even a poor farmer—I'll take care of it myself." After arriving at the convenience store, Lu Yun ordered two bottles of beer, and his money was now nearly gone. Originally, he had intended to treat his first visit to the store with a few ready-made dishes for his guests, but his uncles and aunts had left in such a hurry that his entire weekly allowance was spent in no time. Standing awkwardly before the ready-made food displays, he felt embarrassed—neither willing to leave nor to stay. Feeling the unspoken thoughts in Lu Yun’s eyes, Tie Xinlan immediately reached into her waistband, swiftly pulled out a stack of one-hundred-yuan bills, and handed them to him, saying, "Buy whatever you like—don’t let me go hungry while I fight your battles." "Miss Xinlan, I—” Knowing Lu Yun’s financial situation, Tie Xinlan chuckled lightly and said, "Alright, I was just teasing you—don’t be so serious. Isn’t my money just as much Lu Yun smiled, but a pang of sadness welled up in his heart. He had been dreaming of building a harem of three thousand wives, yet he couldn’t even spare a single cent—how could he possibly build a harem? All he wanted was to avoid spending his own women’s money. As a man, if he couldn’t even support his own wives, what was he doing here—living, or just barely holding on? "Alright, I know what you’re thinking. You’re still young, right? When you grow up, you’ll repay me—just in a different way." Iron Heart Lan gently encouraged Lu Yun. "A different way?" Lu Yun thought. He was so broke, with nothing but his own vitality to hold himself up—what else did he have? What exactly did Lan mean? Later, later—was she already…? Lu Yun was instantly overjoyed, his arms soaring up, the bottles of beer he held flying off and clattering against the wall with a loud crash, shattering into pieces upon impact. "Xiao Yun, what on earth are you doing? Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this! I'm going to file a complaint against you with your uncle and aunt!" the convenience store owner, watching Lu Yun toss two bottles of beer into the air, felt her heart sink—those were real expenses. "Hey," Lu Yun waved his hands, beaming, "I'm just happy—this is just a celebration! I've got plenty of money now. Second sister, get me a case of beer, and bring over everything you have that goes well with it—both vegetarian and meat dishes. Today, I'm going to host like a true host!" The store owner, in her early fifties, had a delicate, fair complexion, though her face wasn't particularly striking among the village's many beauties—she was a bit of an outlier. Yet she had an unusually good temperament. Watching Lu Yun dance and gesture with such enthusiasm, she smiled, "You're a spendth "Ernü, just follow my advice. When you meet my uncle and aunt, simply tell them that's all." Lu Yun smiled carelessly at the owner's wife. "Ernü, you're so patient and never get upset with people—never raise your voice—while I'm always so well-liked. Isn't it because you don't want to bother me with complaints?" The shop owner, flushed by Lu Yun's stream of words, hurried to help him with the meal, gently scolding, "You've become so smooth-tongued, haven't you? Your uncle never had your flair!" As if realizing she'd let it slip, she stopped mid-sentence and silently cut a piece of cooked food. Lu Yun was now thoroughly excited and completely unbothered by the owner's remarks. He spoke with confidence, "Madam, I'm not a common customer—don't treat me like I'm short-changed. Otherwise, my uncle will come after you for the debt!" The owner's expression grew slightly awkward, especially since she was now facing away from Lu Yun. If he had seen her face, he would have surely noticed something. After a long while of busy work, she finally weighed all the cooked items in the store, packed them into a large plastic bag, and, with her head slightly lowered, said, "Forty-five yuan." "Here you go," Lu Yun said, genuinely feeling at ease for the first time, enjoying the satisfaction of being a real customer. As they stepped out of the shop, Tian Xinlan frowned, "Lu Yun, haven't you noticed that the shop owner seems a "What's wrong?" “Lu Yun asked casually, “I can’t quite put it into words, but it feels like whenever I speak about you…” Iron Xinlan frowned tightly, paused, and then shook her head, saying, “Perhaps I’ve just been overthinking it.” Lu Yun chuckled and said, “Xinlan sister, let me tell you—this second sister became a widow at twenty, which is why she’s called the second sister. Though she’s a widow, she’s actually a very kind person and has excellent standing among the villagers.” As he spoke, Lu Yun gave her a solid thumbs-up. Xinlan smiled quietly, saying nothing, yet she still felt as though the second sister was holding something inside her—especially when Lu Yun mentioned his uncle. Though she couldn’t see any expression on the second sister’s face, Xinlan could sense subtle changes in her body movements. Well, then, perhaps it was best not to get involved in her own matters, especially concerning Lu Yun’s uncle—she shouldn’t interfere at all. “Becoming a widow at twenty—indeed, that’s quite unfortunate,” Xinlan replied casually. But at that moment, Lu Yun seemed especially enthusiastic, walking on and saying, “Indeed, the second sister is no ordinary "Fei Xinlan asked in puzzlement. Lu Yun's face changed, and he smiled wistfully, saying, 'Miss Xinlan, you probably don't know the customs here...' Then Lu Yun explained to Fei Xinlan about this ridiculous tradition of being a eunuch village... Rural Beautiful Woman 790, Main Text 790—the feeling of having money is simply exhilarating.
