Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

In the primitive forest filled with towering trees, Deng Chun chose a large black locust tree, constructed a treehouse, and made his dwelling in the trees.

After listening to Tong Sanlang disclose his purpose, he raised his hand to stroke his graying beard, then spoke, “So the treasure is really gone?”

“It’s gone.” Tong Sanlang met his sharp gaze without flinching.

” What about the water drop pendant you wore?” Deng Chun’s gaze fell on his neck.

“I gave it to Qiao Xiaomai yesterday.”

Upon hearing this, Deng Chun frowned, “You gave it away?”

“She’s the girl I intend to cherish for my entire life.” Tong Sanlang declared.

“That belonged to your great-grandmother.” Deng Chun emphasized the words ‘great-grandmother’.

” When I was young and it was found, you and Grandfather both decided that I should keep it, which means it’s mine, and I have the right to give it away, don’t I?” Tong Sanlang explained calmly.

Hearing this, Deng Chun’s brow furrowed more tightly.

Tong Sanlang silently met his gaze.

After a long while, Deng Chun’s gaze shifted away, looking at the boundless sea of trees, “You’re right.”

His voice was calm and measured, devoid of emotions.

Tong Sanlang, after some thought, asked, “Master, was the pendant actually my great-grandmother’s?”

Years ago, Tong Tiehu had compared the pendant to an inventory and realized that nothing was missing from the treasury, hence he assumed the pendant belonged to Liuli.

But with no conclusive evidence, and after asking Deng Chun, who claimed not to know, he ended up casually pocketing the pendant.

But judging by Deng Chun’s reaction now, there seemed to be more to it…

“Yes, the pendant indeed belonged to your great-grandmother.” Deng Chun spoke up.

Hearing this, Tong Sanlang was stunned.

He had expected not to get an answer.

Deng Chun continued, “Your great-grandmother said that the pendant should be given to a person of destiny. You were the one who found it back then, so you kept it. Now that you have given it to Qiao Xiaomai, she is that person of destiny.”

Tong Sanlang fell silent.

Recalling last night’s events, he was almost certain: this pendant was most likely Liuli’s space.

If it was just an ordinary pendant, his master would not react like this.

After thinking a while, he asked, “Master, how did my great-grandmother move all these treasures here in the first place?”

Deng Chun was a member of the Gu Family army, the youngest member of the assault team back then, only in his teens.

If there was anyone in the world who understood Liuli the best, it was clearly his master, Deng Chun.

“You don’t need to know.” Deng Chun replied.

Tong Sanlang pressed his lips together, then said, “But the disappearance of the treasure is too baffling.”

“In one’s lifetime, not everything can be understood.”

Hearing this, Tong Sanlang sighed inwardly.

Alright, it seemed Deng Chun was aware of Liuli’s secret but was unwilling to disclose it.

“Master, would you be willing to come down the mountain?” He asked.

“No need, I’m quite comfortable living here. When the day comes that I truly can’t move around anymore, I’ll join you down the mountain.” Deng Chun’s gaze returned from the distance and landed on him, “Didn’t you say you wanted to go hunting? Go.”

Tong Sanlang looked at him silently for a moment, then resignedly said, “Then I’m leaving, goodbye, Master.”

After saying this, he jumped down from the tree, picked a direction, and went hunting.

Deng Chun watched his retreating figure, a rare look of fatigue appearing on his face.

He looked toward the east where the morning sun just broke the horizon and murmured, “My lady, the situation is out of control, the treasure…it’s actually gone…Yang Wenxiao, who you had high hopes for, failed to revive the Aristocratic Families in fifty years.”

” When will I be able to follow you without any worries…I’m getting old…”
