The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

It's getting late.

The last embers of the setting sun cast their last rays of light, covering the small village at the foot of the mountain with a beautiful purple-red veil.

By this time, all the villagers had returned home for dinner, and laughter and joy could be heard in every household.

The old village chief walked slowly towards the Lin family with his hands behind his back, his brows relaxed and a comfortable smile on his lips.

I went to the government office to do some work today. If it were any other day, the complicated procedures alone would have taken up half a day, and I would have inevitably received a few cold stares and cold remarks from the people around me.

He had made all the preparations, and even put a hundred copper coins in his pocket, ready to use it when necessary so that the land deed could be processed smoothly.

Unexpectedly, the chief clerk in charge of the matter this time did not seem embarrassed at all. Especially when he heard that he was going to apply for the land deed for the Lin family, he stamped it happily.

Finally, he was warmly escorted out of the yamen.

The whole process went so smoothly that he couldn't believe it.

When he bumped into the old couple from the Zhang family, the old village chief suddenly realized from whom he had benefited.

The Hundred-Angled Grass not only brought hope and vitality to their village, it was like a huge auspicious cloud under their village, carrying them up to fly.

Touching the land deed in his arms, the old village chief felt a burning sensation in his chest. Walking along the path filled with the fragrance of angelica sinensis, he felt that his whole body was unusually light, as if he had gone back ten years.

There were surprises on one side and shocks on the other.

Jishidiang closed its doors early that day and stopped all activity.

Zeng Yitang and his wife sat at home for a long time, but their backs still felt cold.

My home is in the town, and any movement from the government office would be seen and reported by someone along the way.

The matter involved Yuxi Village, and Chen went to find out the inside story immediately. After returning, the couple closed the shop and went home quickly, with no desire to continue doing business.

Chen sat on the chair, frowning, feeling angry and afraid.

"The whole village of Yuxi has started to grow Hundred-Angle Grass. When the Hundred-Angle Grass is harvested, it will be supplied to Sifang Pharmacy. Will our Jishitang still have a way to survive?"

Zeng Yitang looked exhausted, slumped against the back of his chair and laughed at himself, "What can we do? Even your uncle can't do anything to the Lin family now! Besides, didn't you go to inquire in person today? You still don't understand why the two people from the Zhang family were thrown into jail? The Lin family is not only extremely wealthy now, but also has a backer behind them that at least we and your uncle can't afford to offend!"

"You say he's a backer, but who knows where he comes from? Maybe he can only rule a small place like Wutong Town!" Chen gritted her teeth and refused to admit defeat, "Are you really going to just give up and do nothing? Are you waiting for us to be cornered?"

"You are so arrogant, but you can still figure out how to deal with the Lin family. Do you have that ability? Can you use your brain before you speak and act? Are you also looking forward to being sent to prison? If you hadn't been so ruthless in the first place, our family might not be without room for maneuver today!"

"You blame me? You said I was ruthless at the beginning, then why didn't you stop me? You thought everyone knew what was going on in your heart, so it turned out that I was the one who did all the bad things in the end, and you just cleaned yourself up and became innocent!"

"What's the point of arguing about all this now? You just keep making trouble every day. I was really wrong to marry a woman like you who brings disaster to the family!"

"Zeng Yitang! Have you forgotten who helped you to become the shopkeeper in Wutong Town? If I hadn't taken a fancy to you, you would be a poor man in a corner now!"

The couple was arguing fiercely across an eight-person table.

At the entrance of the living room, a graceful figure walked in. "Dad, Mom, stop arguing. What can you get out of arguing? It's better to sit down and think of a solution."

"Yu'er, why did you come out?" Seeing her daughter coming out, Chen took the opportunity to go down the stairs and snorted coldly, "It's easy to say. If there is really a solution, would your father and I still quarrel like this?"

Zeng Yitang's reaction was different. He looked at his daughter's beautiful face, and a light gradually brightened in his eyes. "No, maybe... it may not be unsolvable. We still have Yu'er."

Realizing her husband's thoughts, Chen stood up and cursed, "Are you crazy? Yu'er has been betrothed to the He family in Ma County!"

"So what? If you want to blame someone, blame the old lady of the He family for dying at the wrong time. If it weren't for her, Yu'er would have married long ago. Why would she have to wait for the young man of the He family to observe mourning for three years and waste her youth? By the time the He family's mourning period is over, Yu'er will be twenty years old! What good girl would get married at such an old age? This is not because my Zeng family is unfaithful, but because the He family is unlucky. The two young men are not destined to be together!"

"But if Yu'er keeps breaking off the engagement, her reputation will be ruined! She is your biological daughter!"

"Women have long hair but short knowledge! As long as Yu'er has the ability to capture Lin Jiang again, what does fame mean? In the future, our family may be able to rely on a big backer. When you become successful, you will see who dares to gossip about you!"

Zeng Ruyu sat quietly beside them, with her head slightly lowered. She no longer joined in her parents' quarrel, and no one knew what she was thinking.

……

Yuanzhou City.

The Ruan family was also furious at this moment.

Ruan Chengye walked around the small hall with his hands behind his back, looking extremely unhappy.

"They actually sent their son away without a word, and we don't know where they took him! In order to protect themselves from us, they even threw their only child out there. They weren't afraid that something might happen and the child would die outside and never come back, thus ending the Jin family's lineage!"

Zhou Huixin handed him a cup of tea and gently reminded him, "Master, be careful with your words. Walls have ears. The Jin family doesn't like our family to begin with. It would be even worse if these words got to their ears."

She paused, waiting for Ruan Chengye to take the tea, and then smiled and said softly, "Besides, there's no need to be so impatient. Jin Qianlai is willing to use force on his son, but he has two old people above him, right? Given how much the old man and old lady of the Jin family love and care for their grandson, Jin Qianlai will have to take his son back soon. As long as Yanyan is here, she can control Jin Duobao with ease. No matter how angry the Jin family is, what can they do?"

Ruan Chengye calmed down a little, snorted and sat down, "That's the only way I can think about it. The eldest branch has been suppressing us for so many years, and in the past two years we have finally been suppressing them in return. Dad has also begun to pay attention to the second branch. We must not let anything go wrong at this critical juncture."

Sitting on the small couch by the window was a sweet-looking little girl, wearing a pink brocade skirt and a double-ring bun adorned with a pink headband. She looked delicate and sweet.

However, as soon as the little girl opened her mouth, her spoiled tone ruined the sweetness, "Dad, Mom, how long do I have to coax that ugly fat boy? Because of him, no one else likes to play with me! You don't know how my cousins ​​laugh at me behind my back. They say I'm trying to please Jin Duobao for benefits, and some say I'm Jin Duobao's little wife! I don't want to be his little wife. He's as fat as a pig, fat and ugly, and I don't want to play with him at all!"
