I Have an Immortal Emperor Uncle Who Farms at Home Chapter 9: Chance for Revenge

Laiyang Town’s Haoxiang Grand Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in all of Laiyang—no exceptions.

On the surface, the hotel owner appeared to run a legitimate business, but behind the scenes, he was involved in both legal and illegal dealings—doing all kinds of shady things that couldn’t see the light of day.

This hotel owner was none other than Wang Scar, the younger brother of the local underworld boss—Lai Jianhua.

"You bastard, what the hell happened to you this time?"

In the hotel suite, Lai Jianhua looked at Wang Scar, who now had both arms crippled, with a touch of mockery in his eyes.

Only Lai Jianhua, as Wang Scar’s older cousin, dared to call him "bastard" to his face. Wang Scar didn’t take it to heart, it didn’t matter to him.

"Second Cousin, yesterday morning Huang Mao and I went out to collect protection money," Wang Scar said, glancing at the blond-haired man standing beside him. "But the guy refused to pay, and not only that, he crippled both my arms. He also said…"

At this point, Wang Scar deliberately lowered his voice and paused for effect.

"Said what?" Lai Jianhua had no patience for theatrics and asked directly.

"He also said that if we came to collect again, he’d cripple the people backing us too," Wang Scar said, watching Lai Jianhua’s reaction closely.

Wang Scar was sincerely hoping that his words would enrage Lai Jianhua. If that happened, he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger. Lai Jianhua would personally take care of that guy for him.

Huang Mao understood Wang Scar’s intention and chimed in, "Big Bro is right. That guy didn’t take us seriously at all—"

But before he could finish, Lai Jianhua shot him a glare, cutting him off mid-sentence.

Sure enough, after hearing that someone dared to disrespect them, Lai Jianhua became furious. "That punk must be tired of living."

Seeing that his words had worked, Wang Scar quickly fanned the flames. "Exactly! He even said that if anyone dares mess with him, they better be ready to face his wrath."

"Arrogant fool! I’ll show him who really runs Laiyang Town."

Now, Lai Jianhua was completely enraged.

Seeing this, Wang Scar’s eyes lit up. "Oh, right, Second Cousin, there’s one more thing."

"Say it. What else?"

"That punk has a sister too. You probably don’t know this, but she’s absolutely stunning beauty like that could topple a kingdom. Even though she’s already a mother, she’s still incredibly attractive."

Wang Scar was clearly a lecherous scoundrel, he couldn’t help but replay Ye Qingcheng’s appearance in his mind as he spoke.

"Oh? Is that true?"

"Absolutely."

After a short pause, Lai Jianhua burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Wang bastard, tomorrow you’re coming with me. We’re not just going to teach that brat a lesson, we’re taking his sister too."

As he spoke, a filthy grin crept into Lai Jianhua’s expression.

……

On the other side, not long after Ye Fan and the others had left the foot of the Shanjiao Village, Jiang Shuping, driven by curiosity, decided to cook the Chinese cabbage.

But to her surprise, even without adding any seasoning, the cabbage gave off a rich, savory aroma that filled the air.

"That's strange... What’s going on here?"

Still, Jiang Shuping didn’t think too much of it. She carried the steaming hot cabbage soup into the room.

At that moment, on the messy and filthy bed, Song Lianjun had already fallen into a deep sleep.

"Lianjun, Lianjun…"

After calling him for a while, Song Lianjun finally woke from his stupor. But his body was so weak that he couldn’t even open his eyes, let alone speak. He only managed to feebly tilt his head as a response.

"Lianjun, get up and drink some cabbage soup."

As she spoke, Jiang Shuping helped Song Lianjun sit up and leaned him against her chest. Then, she slowly fed the cabbage soup to his lips.

Because Song Lianjun was too weak to chew the cabbage, he could only drink the broth from the bowl.

"Lianjun, how are you feeling now?"

After a short while, something miraculous happened. The once feeble and exhausted Song Lianjun slowly began to open his eyes. His gaze gradually regained clarity and spirit.

Jiang Shuping covered her mouth in disbelief. In that moment, the words of Ye Fan and Yang Hu suddenly echoed in her mind: "This cabbage will help him."

"This... this is incredible."

As the cabbage soup was fully absorbed into his body, Song Lianjun’s mind also began to clear.

"Shuping, what’s going on?"

Hearing Song Lianjun speak, Jiang Shuping was overwhelmed with emotion and burst into tears. She had been waiting for this moment for far too long.

"Lianjun, Lianjun!"

Jiang Shuping threw her arms around Song Lianjun, holding him tightly as tears streamed down her face, dripping directly onto his cheeks.

"Alright, Shuping, your tears are going to drown me."

Jiang Shuping quickly wiped the tears from her face and forced out a smile she hadn’t shown in a long time. "What? Are you saying you’re disgusted by this old woman?"

"Hehehe… cough cough, how could I? We’ve been husband and wife for decades now."

Seeing Song Lianjun gradually regain his strength, Jiang Shuping quickly brought the bowl of cabbage back to his lips.

"Lianjun, here, eat this cabbage."

Just regaining consciousness, Song Lianjun stared at the cabbage in the bowl, his eyes filled with astonishment. Jiang Shuping might not have noticed anything unusual, but with his cultivation background, he could clearly tell that this cabbage was no ordinary plant.

Filled with curiosity, he asked, "Shuping, what is this?"

"You mean this cabbage?" Jiang Shuping placed it back in the bowl and continued, "It was given to us by a young man."

"A young man?"

"Yes, and there was also a middle-aged man with him. Before they left, they said this cabbage would help you."

Jiang Shuping recalled the scene and added to her explanation.

"Those people weren’t ordinary."

Before, Jiang Shuping might not have noticed anything unusual about them, but now she was certain—those people, especially that young man Ye Fan, were definitely not normal.

"Alright now, hurry up and finish the cabbage."

"Old lady, you should eat some too. It’s good for your health as well."

Although Jiang Shuping didn’t have any cultivation, after so many years of hardship and suffering alongside her husband, her body was already riddled with illness.

"Old man, you eat it. Your health is more important."

Song Lianjun’s eyes were full of affection for Jiang Shuping. When he saw that she didn’t want to eat, he turned his head to the side and said, "If you’re not eating, then I won’t eat either."

"What’s that supposed to mean, old man? You throwing a tantrum with me?" Seeing the look on Song Lianjun’s face, Jiang Shuping chuckled and said, "Alright, fine, I’ll eat, okay?"

As she spoke, Jiang Shuping picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in her mouth. Then she picked up another piece and brought it to Song Lianjun’s mouth. "Come on, old man, eat up."

"Mm, okay!"

However, the more Song Lianjun chewed the cabbage, the more he realized something was off. It felt like the cabbage was filled with spiritual energy. "Is this... spiritual energy?"

"Spiritual energy?" Jiang Shuping widened her eyes and asked in surprise.

"That’s right, this cabbage is filled with spiritual energy," Song Lianjun said as he looked at her and continued, "Old woman, I want you to find that group of people. I want to meet them."

Jiang Shuping hadn’t expected that Song Lianjun would want to see Ye Fan and the others, but she didn’t know exactly why. "Why do you want to meet them?"

"Old woman, I believe the time for my revenge is near." As he spoke, Song Lianjun’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

In Yingcheng County, there were four major families: the Kuang family, the Yan family, the Huang family, and the Song family. The Song family used to be the top family in Yingcheng County, both in terms of influence and industry. They were firmly in first place.

However, what Song Lianjun didn’t expect was that the Kuang, Yan, and Huang families would join forces to take down the Song family. In the end, the family was destroyed, lives were lost, and only Song Lianjun and his wife managed to escape. As for the rest of the family, they were either killed or crippled.

When Jiang Shuping heard there was a chance for revenge, her emotions surged with excitement. "Old man, are you serious? We could actually get revenge for our family?"

"That’s right." A flash of determination passed through Song Lianjun’s eyes as he looked at her and said, "But the key is finding that group of people. I’m sure they have a way."

"Don’t worry, old man. I’ll find them no matter what."

As long as she could avenge her clan, Jiang Shuping was willing to do anything to find Ye Fan and the others even if it meant dying on her knees before them, she wouldn't hesitate.
