Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

The two smiled at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

Just then, the hawthorn and apple juice cooked by Ye Wan was ready, and Shen Chulan scooped out three bowls.

Ye Wan scooped out several bowls. There were many children in the family, including his own children, several children from his mother's side, and several children from Shen Chulan's mother's side.

I made hawthorn and apple juice in the evening, so I cooked it along with the others. It only took a handful of firewood.

The two of them came out chatting and laughing with hawthorn apple juice, and happened to meet Li Ronghua who came to look for Shen Chulan.

"Chu Lan, I have something to talk to you about."

"Sister-in-law, what do you want from me?"

Shen Chulan asked doubtfully.

Li Ronghua didn't say anything, but looked at Ye Wan.

"I'll serve this hawthorn apple juice to the children first." Ye Wan understood and reached out to take the tray from Shen Chulan's hand.

He came here so late, there must be something private that he wants to keep secret.

Li Ronghua saw Ye Wan leave and pulled Shen Chulan back to her room.

"Chu Lan, you don't really want Ye Wan's eldest brother to be the manager, do you?

This is unacceptable!"

"Why don't you let your eldest brother take on such an important position as the steward? We are a family, and we can only be assured when we work together as a family. Wouldn't it hurt your mother's feelings if you let an outsider take on the stewardship?"

She heard it clearly outside the door just now that her sister-in-law wanted to give the position of manager to Ye Wan's elder brother Ye Qing.

With that stupid brain, can he do the job of a manager?

Such a good job must be given to one's own family, there is no reason to give it to others.

And it’s such an important job.

Being a manager is the most lucrative job.

She would definitely not admit that she refused to let her elder brother Ye Wan take charge of the job because she hated Jiang Lingling.

If Ye Qing really became the manager, Jiang Lingling would definitely show off in front of her.

He was originally a head taller than her, but now he is suddenly shorter.

Who can withstand this?

When Shen Chulan heard that Li Ronghua was looking for her because of this matter, her face suddenly turned cold.

His face unconsciously revealed the arrogance of Qingshuilou towards those workers.

"Sister-in-law, don't speak so harshly. What's the difference between an outsider and a non-outsider? I thought carefully before deciding to let Brother Ye take on this job. I look at a person's character!"

"Besides, my eldest brother isn't cut out for this. His craft is cooking. He might not be used to being a manager."

Li Ronghua was startled by the aura of his sister-in-law. He shrank his neck and said unwillingly, "Being a manager is such an easy job. Anyone can do it. You'll get used to it after doing it for a long time."

"Besides, I'm not wrong about this. If your elder brother can't handle the job, you can let me do it."

In short, the job of manager must not be given to Jiang Lingling, an outsider.

"Sister-in-law, the job of a manager may seem simple, but it actually requires the ability to do the accounting, manage everything in the store, and manage the relationships with the employees. It's not just about sitting at the counter."

Shen Chulan said this very simply. Her elder brother couldn't do the job of managing things, and you can't do it even more.

"I........" Li Ronghua hesitated to speak, wanting to refute but not knowing how to refute.

He was angry and anxious, thinking that Shen Chulan looked down on his family and gave such a good job to an outsider.

"Sister-in-law, please don't mention this in front of me. Qingshui Tower belongs to Yaoyao. I'm just helping with the management. All the decisions still lie with my mother-in-law. If you really want to be in charge, you can tell her about it."

Shen Chulan lied and pushed the blame onto Old Lady Liu.

This matter was brought to light, and the only one who was embarrassed was Li Ronghua.

The reason she gave the job of manager to Brother Ye was naturally because of Ye Wan.

Ye Wan was worried about family matters all day long. Boss Yuan went to the border to serve as a soldier. She couldn't help with the housework and it was difficult for her to ask Shen Chulan for help. Naturally, she was very anxious.

Since Shen Chulan stayed in Qingshui Building all day long, the task of taking care of the child naturally fell on Ye Wan.

If Shen Chulan doesn't help, she would be truly heartless.

And Brother Ye's work is indeed reassuring...

Although she is not at home during the day and only comes back at night, it does not mean that Shen Chulan does not know what is going on at home.

So if I can help, I will do so to prevent Ye Wan from worrying too much and collapsing physically.

Li Ronghua didn't get any advantage, so he was naturally very angry.

I muttered to myself: So what if Qingshui Tower belongs to Yaoyao? When she grows up and marries, won’t she still be part of the Yuan family? Why am I pretending in front of her now?

................................................

Li Ronghua returned to the house and became angry when he saw Shen Yanglou sleeping soundly with his daughter.

He came to the bed and pinched the flesh on Shen Yang's arm hard.

Shen Yang shuddered in pain, and when he saw Li Ronghua pinching the flesh on his arm with a ferocious face, he immediately became furious.

"Are you sick?"

Li Ronghua's face looked ugly. He became angry when he saw Shen Yang's behavior which showed that he had not made any progress at all.

"I'm just sick. You should work harder and get a job as a manager in your sister's restaurant. Our life will definitely be much better. The money you make once will be enough for our family to earn in a year."

"You're really sick." Shen Yang cursed and went back to bed to sleep.

Li Ronghua was so angry that he pinched the flesh on Shen Yang's arm again. "You really pissed me off. Your sister gave the job of manager to her eldest brother from her sister-in-law's family, and you still can sleep soundly!"

"My sister can give it to whoever she wants. What does it have to do with you? I'm telling you, you better behave yourself. If you do something like last time again, don't blame me for divorcing you!"

That incident, naturally, refers to the time when Li Ronghua asked Shen Chulan to borrow money and didn't want to pay it back.

"You really don't understand my heart. Chu Lan and I are a family. The good positions should naturally be reserved for our family. Your sister gave such a good position to an outsider. Isn't this a disguised way of telling others that your sister has no family in her heart!

Who will respect you then?" Li Ronghua was so angry at Shen Yang's attitude that he almost vomited blood.

Shen Yang turned around and glared at Li Ronghua angrily, cursing:

"A married daughter is like spilled water. It's her own business whether she helps her natal family or not. You have no right to interfere. In terms of distance, Chu Lan and the Yuan family are one family. We are at most good relatives.

My sister can give the manager position to whoever she wants. Neither you nor I can interfere.

Don't think that if you give the position of manager to someone else, they will look down on you. Your reputation is earned by yourself, not by anyone else!"

After cursing, Shen Yang continued to curse.

"Also, my sister has helped our family with so many things, don't you remember anything at all?

You will be satisfied only if you get all the benefits, right?

Don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind. You'd better give up on this thought."

Li Ronghua's face turned blue and white after being scolded, and he left the room angrily.

................................

Peach Blossom Village.

There have been fewer villagers in the village recently, which has caused panic among the villagers. They dare not go out when it gets dark.

Oil lamps were lit in every house, and no one dared to make any sound.

They were afraid that the monsters in the dark would capture them.

I was even afraid to sleep at night, for fear that I would not wake up...

Xiao Ci, Yue Yuan, Lu Jiu, Chu Xiaoyi and others were walking on the country road of Taohua Village, and they didn't notice anything unusual in Taohua Village.

"Is it too quiet here? Even if we dare not talk or sleep in the house, we can still hear the movements inside. Why don't we hear any movement today?" Chu Xiaoyi tilted his ears and tried to listen to the sounds in the villagers' houses.

Yue Yuan frowned. "This is indeed very strange, but my compass didn't respond, and the tassel on the peach wood sword didn't move either."

"I guess that evil master knows we are coming and doesn't dare to act rashly."

"That makes some sense, but we came here in disguise. The stand-ins in the capital didn't seem unusual. They were so focused on our stand-ins that they probably didn't notice we were in Taohua Village."

"When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. In short, we should be careful." Xiao Ci said.

Suddenly, an enchanting fragrance came from the air. This fragrance had a sweet taste and made people very fascinated.

"Hold your breath." Yue Yuan's face changed.

Xiao Ci and the others quickly held their breath and took out a square scarf to tie around their faces.

He jumped onto the roof, lay down, and observed secretly.

The country road, which had been very quiet just now, was now covered with layers of fog. The alluring fragrance became stronger and stronger, bringing with it a refreshing temptation.

The closed doors of every household were opened by the villagers at this time.

They walked out with stiff steps and dull expressions, forming two rows and walking into the fog in an orderly manner.

Xiao Ci and the others looked at each other, took the kettle from their waists, poured the water on the handkerchief to wet it, and tied it around their faces again.

He jumped down and followed closely behind the villagers.

As they walked into the fog, they felt as if their eyes were covered and they couldn't see what was inside at all.

Fortunately, they all practiced martial arts and had good hearing, so they could follow the footsteps by listening to them.

I walked like this for an hour, and during that time I couldn't feel what I was stepping on.

I don’t know what’s ahead.

All they knew was that they seemed to be following those footsteps in circles, walking around in a circle all the time.

The circle was very large, and I could faintly hear the sound of wind.

It gave them a very strange feeling.
