I'm Rich_1

Ellen Young was picked up by a well-respected elder in Haran Village, Hordy Young.

That is, Ellen's grandfather.

In his youth, having been wounded on the battlefield, Ellen's grandfather came down to Haran Village to heal.

Since then, he had been helping out in the village, and everyone in the village respected him a great deal.

However, due to health reasons, Ellen's grandfather never married, as he didn't want to delay anyone's life.

It wasn't until later in life, when he was out gathering firewood, that he found Ellen abandoned.

Having lived a solitary life, he believed the child was a blessing from heaven just for him; he named her Ellen, which means the arrival of later years.

He picked her up and raised her well.

The villagers actually knew very little about Ellen, only that Mr. Young said she was too smart to stay there forever.

Therefore, Ellen was taken away by a mysterious person at the age of three, and the villagers had no idea who it was. They only knew that Ellen would come back to see Mr. Young during festivals, and the people with her would bring a lot of stuff to distribute to the villagers.

The villagers all liked Ellen.

They remembered what Mr. Young said, that Ellen was extremely intelligent, a very smart child.

But they didn't know what Ellen was doing, as Mr. Young only said she was constantly learning outside.

It wasn't until last year, when Mr. Young passed away, that Ellen came back, knelt all night for him, offered incense, and kept vigil for the night. The next day, she was hurriedly taken away by someone else.

The cool girl didn't shed a single tear, which elicited some murmurs from the villagers, who thought she was ungrateful.

When she left, she still asked the village chief to take care of things, saying she couldn't handle her grandfather's affairs, that she was regrettably unfilial.

She left behind a lot of money.

The village chief actually understood her; he knew a bit more than the others.

For he saw that when Ellen walked away, her steps were somewhat unsteady.

A year later, she returned.

She brought back many gifts, and since the villagers remembered her kindness, they didn't say much.

Ellen took over her grandfather's shabby house at the back hill of the village. She's been busying herself these few days. Unexpectedly, her biological parents came looking for her, yet she was unwilling to return with them.

The village chief found this very puzzling.

As he was helping to send some daily necessities to the back of the village for Ellen, he asked her, "Your sister seems to be dressed pretty well, huh? If you go back with her, you'll live a good life. Why don't you go?"

Ellen faced them with a hint of a smile, "Village Chief Grandpa, I'm not doing badly here either."

The village chief laughed heartily, "Silly girl, our conditions here are not as good as in the city. Look at my son; he's living in the city now. If it weren't for festivals, he wouldn't even think about coming back, given how poor the road conditions are here."

Ellen's eyes flickered, "I've seen it when I came back. The road condition is challenging but not impossible to connect. You can build a new road through from the neighboring Seamount Village and widen it a bit."

The village chief sighed, "We've thought about what you said, but our village is too poor. Where do we get the money for such a long road, and to clear the mountain paths, it's too difficult."

The village chief could only shake his head and sigh.

Ellen smiled, "I have money."

Village Chief: "You've just finished your studies, where did you get the money from? Keep your money, how can a girl live without money? Your grandfather is gone, and we can only help you out as much as we can, not much. You should really think about your biological parents' matter."

The village chief still hoped she would go back because they believed that once back, Ellen would live a good life.
