When Master Lin frowned, Lin Yiqing knew that his father was plotting something.

"Don't think of any evil ideas, it will ruin everything. She doesn't even know I want to marry her. She wants me to take the imperial examinations, and it would be difficult to propose if I don't pass."

Mr. Lin: ...

Am I no longer as good as my wife? He has been trying so hard for so many years, but it is still no match for a single word from his future daughter-in-law.

Master Lin was furious and asked, "Your mother and I have been waiting for so long, but you can't even see us. Are we too embarrassed to see him?"

"Anyway, it's not possible right now. I'll arrange it when the time is right."

Lin Yiqing didn't talk much to his father. He had to hurry to arrange everything and say goodbye before leaving.

A year later, he would return with fame and honor, marry her and protect her at home.

……

For Xu Siyu, the incident in Nanping County was like a disaster that came from the sky while she was still at home.

But fortunately, it is relatively easy to deal with the bad guys who acted on impulse.

Manager Yu took over the Xiangmanlou in Nanping County, the one in Yunyang Town, and promoted all the original staff. The former accountant became Manager Jin, and Xu Chenglin got the position of waiter because of his cleverness.

This year the weather was good and the duck down business was booming. Xu Huaishan's family lived better and better, and the villagers became jealous.

Several ducks raised by Xu Huaishan were stolen.

He Xiangmei stood at the door and cursed, and then checked every house, but there was no trace of the thief.

"My mother said that Er Laizi was the most suspicious, but thinking that Granny Li felt sorry for her, she didn't make trouble." After Xu Chengqi piled up the firewood, he stayed with Xu Siyu waiting for lunch, which was a good opportunity to chat with Xu Wangshi.

Granny Li is the most miserable widow in the village. Her husband died when she was young, her son died when she was middle-aged, and her wife ran away. She has not yet raised her only grandson well, and he is often caught for stealing and having to pay for it with things.

Granny Li's house was reduced to its frame. If we look for it again, we might not be able to get anything back. At most, we can dig up a few vegetables from her doorstep.

It wasn't that He Xiangmei didn't want to make a fuss, it was Xu Huaishan who didn't allow her to.

"He may not be from Xinshan Village." Xu Siyu knew that Li Erlaizi was a dishonest person, but he was close to Xu Chengyuan and had never stolen from the Xu family before.

"Yes, remind your mother not to go find Grandma Li. Let her take care of the house by herself." Xu Wangshi also disagreed with causing trouble for Grandma Li.

Granny Li is already in her twilight years. If anything goes wrong, who can bear the consequences?

"Hey. Grandma, we know."

"Oh, grandma, the Zhang family is planning to move out. Zhang Dahe is no longer the village chief, and the villagers are nominating my dad..."

"Your father?" Putting aside the question of why the Zhang family wanted to move away, Mrs. Xu Wang was not at all pleased when she heard that Xu Huaishan was elected as the village chief.

"He can't even protect his own family, how can he manage the villagers?"

"Haha." Hearing his father being scolded, Xu Chengqi hurriedly tried to make amends: "Don't we still have Uncle He Liu and Uncle Qin Wu? They also have people recommending them."

Xinshan Village is a village with mixed surnames. There are several families with big surnames, including branches of the Xu, He, and Qin families.

Zhang Dahe was chosen as the village chief not only because he could read and write, but also because the Zhang family was one of the few independent households in the village and would not be partial in their dealings.

But over the years, he was neither partial nor meddled in matters. He would always pull out the elders of several families for every matter, and he would hide aside, letting the families mediate on their own.

"The Xu family must nominate someone. Mao Xin from my third uncle's family, Mao Rong from my seventh uncle's family, these old people are still alive, so who is your father?" Although he is the eldest grandson of the eldest house, Xu Wangshi bluntly said that Xu Huaishan's weight was obviously not enough.

Xu Maoxin and Xu Maorong are cousins of Old Man Xu, and are also the older uncles of the Huai generation. If they really need to step forward to take charge, they will be more useful than Xu Huaishan.

"Hehe, grandma, that's what my dad said too. My third and seventh uncles' families have both gone before, and they'll discuss it. I said the villagers just wanted to get in on the action because they saw our family doing well, so they told the elders to nominate my dad."

Since Xiang Man Lou started helping to collect duck feathers, villagers have also gradually started raising ducks. However, Xiang Man Lou in Yunyang Town only collects 20 ducks a day, so their profit is definitely not as much as Xu Huaishan and Xu Huaize who collect as many as they can, so...

"It's a good thing that they are willing to raise ducks." Xu Siyu said, just as she wanted to hand it over.

"Ah?" Xu Chengqi didn't understand what Xu Siyu meant.

"I'm going to hand over all the matters of handling the duck down, sewing clothes and quilt covers to your family. Nianyue knows the cost and quantity. She previously agreed to a contract with the escort team, and every time she goes to the market, she needs at least two quilts and ten vests. Later, you and Nianyue will go home together and discuss with your parents how to allocate the household so that we can handle the work."

"Ah?" Xu Chengqi hadn't reacted yet.

Xu Wang picked up her cane and hit her grandson on the head. "Ah, what? Ask your father to come up with the idea of being the head of the family. If he can't figure it out, call your third uncle to come along. Don't call you Third Aunt yet."

Although Zhao Shuqin would eventually know, only by letting Xu Huaize tell them in a roundabout way would the three families understand that this was different from dividing the family property equally. This was Xu Huaishan giving some of the good things to his brothers.

Xu Chengqi was still dizzy, and he took Xu Nianyue back to discuss important matters.

Xu Wangshi, who stayed in the courtyard, looked at her daughter lovingly, "Are you planning to let Nianyue go back?"

The skills were given away and the person was released.

The girl who said she didn't want to get married years ago has been going out in a mysterious manner these days.

Xu Wangshi used her crutches as an excuse to visit the Yang family, and she often saw Xu Nianyue flirting with a boy.

Xu Siyu nodded and said, "The boy from the Tao family severed his ties with his family and lived in Doctor Yun's house, helping to pick up herbs. In this way, he also won over Cheng Qi's wife to send gifts to Nian Yue, winning her heart back.

Since he said he was willing to marry into the Xu family and would ask Doctor Yun to be his guarantor to prove that he was not a homosexual, then an open marriage would be better than a secret one."

If the barber is too enthusiastic, who would agree?

But Xu Nianyue had been distracted these days, so who couldn't see that the little girl was in love? Besides, the silk flower on her hair was clearly a gift from Tao Cheng, and she hadn't changed it in days.

To be honest, Xu Siyu was quite envious. The man was in love and the woman was willing. It was the most precious thing to love each other.

Xu Siyu hugged Xu Wangshi's waist and said coquettishly, "Mom, from now on, we will depend on each other."

"Okay, live with my daughter." Xu Wang patted Xu Siyu's back, thinking that she should ask that Mr. Lin what was the meaning of his long-term relationship with her daughter Siyu?

……

Xu Huaize knew that duck down business had a market, and with the support of the Lin family, the Xu family could go it alone, so he encouraged his eldest brother to expand his business.

A few days later, the two of them went to the town with their ideas and discussed them with Xu Siyu.
