After parting with Taoist Mingxu and others from Yunding Mountain, Su Chen took Xi Meng and the others back to the teahouse.

After all the trouble, it was already past dinner time.

Xi Meng invited Su Chen to dinner, but was not angry when he refused. She looked at Taoist Qingwei, who just smiled and said nothing.

Ximeng rolled her eyes.

"Boring!"

He muttered, "I never get fooled," and went into the next room.

Su Chen nodded to Taoist Qingwei, who quickly turned and left.

Only after he completely disappeared did Su Chen return to the villa.

We have already had lunch at home.

Ah Hao helped him take out the hot food from the pot, and Liu Chunhua sat beside him holding Ah Yun.

When she met Su Chen's gaze, she sighed.

"what happened again?"

"Xiaozhu and the others won't come over for dinner this week."

Su Chen was stunned: "Did my brother-in-law's family harass them?"

"Awang's brother." Liu Chunhua was depressed. "They didn't dare tell us. Your father cut some vegetables this morning, and we couldn't finish them, so he sent them over at noon. That's when they bumped into us."

"There was a table full of delicious food, lots of fish and meat, and they drank a lot of wine. I'm afraid they spent half a month's salary."

"It's okay for your eldest brother to come home and eat and drink like this. I'm just angry. They've finally gotten back on their feet..."

Su Chen nodded: "Did Dad ask why the eldest brother of the Wu family came to see my brother-in-law and the others?"

When this was mentioned, Liu Chunhua looked even more disdainful.

"Why else?"

"He said his son was grown up and needed a job. If Xiaozhu had to work with him, there would be no one to take care of the child. He insisted that they give Xiaozhu's job to his son."

"It's broad daylight, and I don't know where I got the nerve to dream such a beautiful dream!"

Liu Chunhua complained for a while, then calmed down and said, "They didn't spend all this time with us in vain. I heard from your father that Awang directly refused and even threatened that his eldest brother would not be welcome in the family in the future."

"If it weren't for this, I would have rushed over and beat him up."

Su Chen didn't say anything, but just silently picked up the food and stuffed it into his mouth.

After finishing his meal, he put down his chopsticks and slowly wiped his mouth before asking, "Did Dad see it with his own eyes, or did he hear it from them?"

Liu Chunhua was stunned: "Achen, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Awang can deceive your father?"

"No, Xiaozhu has been bullied by him at home for these years. Doesn't he know what's going on?"

"Is he really going to give his job to his nephew?"

Su Chen reminded: "It's Fifth Sister's job."

Liu Chunhua: “!!!”

"He dares!"

But soon, her shoulders slumped.

After thinking for a while, he lowered his voice a lot: "Achen, if they really give up their jobs this time, don't interfere in their affairs in the future."

Su Chen said "hmm".

"If I'm wrong, it's Mom's fault. With your Fifth Sister's temper, she should find someone with a temper. Ah Wang... What's the point of being a good person if you can't protect your wife and children?"

As she said that, she stood up and walked back and forth twice. Unwilling to give up, she pushed Ayun into Su Chen's arms and rushed out.

Su Chen shook his head and carried Ayun out.

At a glance, you can see the two-story pavilion that has been built. The workers are now polishing the wood and preparing to paint.

Under the tree, Lin Yan was not sitting, but was flipping through a booklet.

Hearing footsteps, he quickly got up.

"Master Su."

Su Chen nodded, his eyes fell on the booklet in his hand, and he suddenly saw the word "formation".

"Are you studying the formation?"

Lin Yan nodded obediently.

"Do you understand everything?"

Lin Yan shook his head and then explained, "Master Zhang told me to mark the things I don't understand so we can ask him later."

Master Zhang?

"Zhang Qian?"

Lin Yan hummed softly.

"Master Zhang is acquainted with your great-grandfather?"

Lin Yan shook his head: "I don't know."

"Keep watching."

Su Chen carried Ayun to the pavilion.

As expected, the view is wide, and you can see all the buildings on the island in the middle of the lake, as well as several dragon boats parked by the island.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, you can eat rice dumplings while watching the dragon boat races. If you don’t feel satisfied, you can ask Xiaobai to come out and ride on it to watch.

Su Chen nodded, looked at the workers again, counted the number of people, and then went down.

Coming to Lin Yan, he flipped his hand.

Seeing the stack of money, Lin Yan was stunned.

"It looks like it will be finished this afternoon. Before they leave, give each of them a red envelope."

Lin Yan suddenly understood, and said seriously: "I understand, Master Su."

Su Chen: "Just ask Ah Hao for the red envelope."

"Good~"

When I returned to the teahouse with Ayun in my arms, Li Chang had already left.

Wang Guohui, who was beaten black and blue, was also sent to the police station.

Xiao Liuer handed Su Chen five hundred yuan, saying it was a thank-you fee from Li Chang.

After Su Chen took the money, he glanced at the folding tables and chairs leaning against the wall and asked Xiao Liu'er, "Did your Uncle Ji tell me how much these cost?"

"No."

"Let's go together and go to the supermarket to buy some food later."

Xiao Liu'er jumped up and said, "Master Su, are you treating me?"

Seeing Su Chen nod, she turned around several times in joy, then ran out quickly.

When they came back with bags, they saw Old Song, Ge Ping'an and Chu Zhifeng drinking tea inside.

There was a dark tint under Old Song's eyes, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept much in the past two days. Ge Ping'an, on the other hand, was in high spirits and was whispering with Chu Zhifeng about some recent business deals.

"Now that I think about it, I was really dumb before. It's you, Xiao Chu, who's smarter. When the commission is paid, I'll treat you to a drink."

Chu Zhifeng didn't refuse: "It's not enough to just drink, we need at least two or three hard dishes. I'll call two more people over later and see if I can recommend a few more orders to you."

"no problem."

Ge Pingan raised his teacup and clinked it with Chu Zhifeng's. He glanced at Old Song and saw that he looked exhausted. He asked, "What's wrong with you? Isn't everything going smoothly and well?"

Old Song lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "You know shit!"

"Okay, okay, I don't understand. I just know that I'll get a lot of commission this time. Come and have a drink later."

Lao Song: "..."

He sighed and looked out the window.

Ge Pingan: "Xiao Chu, let's ignore him. He's probably thinking about his old comrades again."

"Drink tea, drink tea."

"By the way, Xiao Chu, why are you here this time? Do you have something to ask Master Su again?"

Chu Zhifeng winked at him and lowered his voice: "A big order!"

"What big order?" Ge Ping'an said with some dissatisfaction, "If you ask me, any big order requires you to come to Master Su in person to show your sincerity. It's not a good idea for you to come."

Chu Zhifeng waved his hand. "I just heard a piece of news. They were planning to build a hotel, but before the building was even demolished, something went wrong. The boss went to the next province to invite a master to cast a spell. I figured it was going to be a disaster, so I asked a friend to keep an eye on it, and I came to find Taoist Su."

Ge Ping'an suddenly realized.

Question: “Which building?”

"It's right by the river, an eight-story tube-shaped building. I think they used to house the textile factory employees. There was quite a commotion a few years ago, wasn't there? It's been empty for years now."

Ge Ping'an nodded: "Now that you mention it, I remember that before I retired, I participated in the resettlement of residents in a tube-shaped building, and five households were arranged in this area."

Chu Zhifeng perked up: "Old Ge, have you ever been inside a tube-shaped building? What was it like? Was it eerie and chilly?"
