Chapter 4: The First Shot of the Opening Salvo

Su Chunhong responded, "Alright, I'll wait for you."

Shen Yu walked into the inner room, opened the cabinet used for storing valuables, and took out two cans of malt extract and a bag of brown sugar.

This malt extract and brown sugar were gifts sent by relatives, friends, and the construction site boss who had come to visit the original owner after Shi Lei passed away.

Unfortunately, the original owner had passed away before she could take them out to share with the children.

Now, Shen Yu could use them for emergencies, giving some to her mother-in-law first, and later providing the children with the high-quality goods produced in her farm space.

In Shen Yu's farm warehouse, there were many rare fruits and treasures that were truly beneficial to the body.

Items like the stamina juice and strength juice she had consumed before were extraordinary juices extracted from spiritual fruits.

However, as a newcomer, she had not yet figured out the temperaments of these relatives, so she didn't dare to brazenly bring out such miraculous things.

Even in her many years in her previous life, she had never dared to give such things to her subordinates.

It was through this meticulous caution that she had always been able to live smoothly without incident.

Now that she had been reborn, even with her rich life experience from her previous life, she still had to be careful to live a long and peaceful life.

After all, regardless of the era, extreme longevity and extraordinary abilities were the ultimate goals that the wealthy and powerful would go to any lengths to pursue.

News reports in her previous life had mentioned how certain billionaires spent hundreds of millions every year just to extend their lives.

To ordinary people, this seemed inconceivable.

But for billionaires with net worths in the hundreds of billions or even trillions, it was merely pocket change.

As for miraculous drinks like stamina juice and strength juice, unless she possessed formidable strength to ensure she could protect herself and her family, she couldn't risk it.

Otherwise, once these treasures were exposed to the public, her entire family might never know a peaceful day again.

Moving forward, she had to do her utmost to increase her own strength and that of her three children, ensuring no one had the opportunity to harm them.

Shen Yu took out a bag and packed the malt extract and brown sugar.

After coming out, she instructed Shi Zichen, "Chenchen, I'm going to check on your grandma. Stay home and look after your younger brother and sister, okay?"

Shi Zichen had also heard his eldest aunt say that his grandmother had fainted from heatstroke and had been sent to the hospital, so he was feeling a bit nervous.

His grandmother had always doted on the siblings, and he didn't want anything to happen to her.

Hearing his mother say she was going to see her, Shi Zichen immediately said, "Mom, I want to go see Grandma too. Let's take the little ones with us!"

Shen Yu thought about it and decided that this was a sign of the child's filial piety, so she nodded in agreement. "Alright, we'll go together. Go get the keys and lock the door."

Shi Zichen responded loudly, "Okay! I'll go right now."

Shen Yu took Xiaoshushu's hand and said to the second child, Shi Zigang, "Kangkang, you hold your sister's hand too. We'll walk together."

"Okay~"

Shi Zigang was very obedient. He dutifully took his sister's other small hand and even smiled at her, shaking her hand playfully, which made little Xiaoshushu giggle.

Watching the happy children, Shen Yu smiled as well.

A child's mood was truly like the weather in June—sunny one moment and rainy the next.

Shen Yu then said seriously to Su Chunhong, "Sister-in-law, please take these dishes back. Thank you for looking after our family along with my brother and parents during this time. When I have time, I'll invite you all over for a meal to properly thank you."

Su Chunhong smiled candidly. "We're all family, no need for such formalities."

During this period, Su Chunhong and her husband had been busy running errands for their family, especially since the original owner had been bedridden.

They also had to help look after the children. Su Chunhong had felt like a burden and had harbored some resentment in her heart.

Hearing Shen Yu say this, she felt a sense of relief.

Knowing that Shen Yu was grateful for the efforts made by her older brother and sister-in-law made them feel that their sacrifices were worthwhile.

If they had encountered someone ungrateful, there certainly wouldn't have been a "next time" after this help was finished.

Shi Zichen walked at the back, responsible for locking the door.

He quickly caught up and said to Shen Yu, "Mom, let me carry the things!"

Shen Yu did not refuse his kindness. She handed the items to him and said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Chenchen!"

Shi Zichen was the eldest son and a role model for his younger siblings.

Shen Yu wanted to cultivate his sense of responsibility as the eldest, teaching him to become a brave, dependable, and responsible man.

Seeing him take the initiative to help now, Shen Yu felt very comforted.

Since she had woken up, her eldest son's behavior had been like that of a child returning a favor—he was so sensible!

Many household chores were completed by Shi Zichen on his own without her even having to say a word.

Hearing his mother's words, Shi Zichen gave a shy smile. "Mom, carrying this little bit of stuff isn't hard at all."

Shen Yu laughed inwardly; this child was far too honest!

However, she also believed that educating children should focus on encouragement and guidance. If they truly refused to change after repeated teaching, then she would really have to find another way.

She hoped these three little ones would be well-behaved in the future and not cause her blood pressure to skyrocket.

As they walked along the village road of Nanshanwan Village, they could see the sea in the distance just by looking up. The scenery was beautiful, and the view was vast.

Looking at the wide, boundless ocean, Shen Yu felt her heart open up, feeling even more expansive and composed.

Their Nanshanwan Village sat against the Great Nanshan Mountain and faced the sea, looking across the water toward Hong Kong; it was a true land of great feng shui.

Their district would also become one of the strongest and most expensive areas in future Pengcheng.

Shen Yu then looked toward the industrial zone under construction in the distance.

This would become the first industrial zone of the Reform and Opening-up era that would gain national fame.

Their village would also become the first village in Pengcheng to receive land compensation funds.

After receiving the compensation, the village used the funds to level the original peach orchards and was now constructing new residential areas, commercial streets, and more...

Shen Yu had lived in Pengcheng for over a decade in her previous life and had a deep understanding of its development history.

Reborn and looking at the development of Nanshanwan Village, Shen Yu couldn't help but admire the foresight of the village leaders. They were able to quickly keep pace with the Reform and Opening-up and seize the first opportunities of the era.

It was because of this that the villagers of Nanshanwan would eventually enjoy a life of sitting back and waiting for dividends.

Shen Yu felt a surge of excitement.

Most people currently had no idea about future developments. Aside from her as a reborn person, no one knew how staggering the future growth of this region would be.

*Could she perhaps acquire more land and build more buildings, so she could carry sacks to collect rent in the future?*

Thinking of the wonderful scene of herself carrying sacks to collect rent, Shen Yu couldn't help but smile to herself...
