Supreme Heir Son-in-law

"Is there really such a thing?" Xu Ke’s eyes widened slightly, finding it hard to believe that such a situation still occurred in this place.

The people traveling with Xu Ke noticed the shock in his eyes. They felt that Xu Ke, despite being a wealthy person, seemed quite down-to-earth. Willing to exchange a few more words with him, they softly spoke to Xu Ke, "Isn’t it unbelievable? When I first learned about this rule, I was also taken aback. In this day and age, such a rule still exists."

"This village might have genealogies or ancestral halls. And these people here don’t have a strong sense of the law; they act without restraint. I remember the first group of people who came here didn’t know about the rule, and they had conflicts with the villagers, leading to bloodshed. A colleague of mine had a hole beaten into his head and almost lost his life here," the person speaking said, sighing deeply.

"This place is actually quite dangerous. It’s surrounded by dense forests, and there’s barely any signal. If something happens, there’s no way to inform the outside immediately. This is why we didn’t want you to come with us; we wanted you to stay in town. You are different from us. We come here to work; it’s our job. Should anything happen, it’s part of our duty, what we should do," the person said, hands behind their back, with a tone full of earnestness.

Xu Ke, hearing this, looked slightly surprised at the person beside him. That person was turned sideways, so Xu Ke could only see their bright eyes, the fine lines at the corners, and the faint smile at their lips. Xu Ke could sense no gloom or resentment from this person, only the vitality and freshness of early spring.

"Your words truly earn my respect. I think the transformation of China to what it is now is likely because there are many people like you, willing to sacrifice everything for their responsibility. I used to think I did quite a lot and did well, but compared to you, I feel I’m still far from enough. I should do better," Xu Ke said sincerely, looking at the person beside him.
