After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

Inside the small pavilion, several henchmen stood with their hands in their pockets, constantly looking around, their expressions somewhat tense.

The boss didn't tell them the truth, but the fact that he deliberately changed today's transaction to old newspapers made them instinctively feel that something was wrong.

Moreover, today was supposed to be the day when the boss personally conducted the transaction with that buyer. This unusual behavior had already given them some clues.

"Sigh... Why isn't anyone here yet? Do you think something really happened?"

"I don't know. We've been waiting for ages, it's way past the agreed time. Should we head back?"

"Shut up, all of you. Didn't you hear what the boss said? If they don't come, just keep waiting. Wait until nightfall, until dawn. In short, wait until today. And don't say anything out of line."

"Remember who you are now. We're here as tourists, understand?"

The henchmen started whispering amongst themselves, and one of them, the leader, reprimanded them.

Everyone felt awkward for a moment and then shut their mouths.

But the next moment, an accident happened.

Near the pavilion on the outskirts of the city, seven or eight police cars suddenly appeared in their blind spot.

They weren't using sirens, but their warning lights seemed to be on, flashing colorful lights as they rapidly approached them!

Upon seeing this, everyone was startled and instinctively wanted to run away, but it was too late.

Wow!

The car door opened, and at least twenty or thirty SWAT officers dressed in black uniforms, carrying riot shields and armed with guns, surrounded them!

"Don't move! Everyone, don't move! Put your hands behind your heads and squat down!"

"Hands behind your head, squat down, and put everything you're holding on the ground!"

"Don't move! Behave yourselves!"

A cacophony of shouts erupted.

The henchmen were terrified, their faces turning ashen. They hurriedly covered their heads with their hands and squatted down on the ground, dropping their briefcases in the process.

With a zipper, the zippers on the bags of the several people were unzipped.

Then several special police officers pulled out the old newspapers from inside. After flipping through them for a while, they found nothing useful and their brows furrowed tightly.

"what happened?"

"The intelligence is faulty, Captain, we haven't found anything!"

Looking at the briefcase stuffed with old newspapers and the several thugs squatting on the ground with fear on their faces, the SWAT captain's face turned grim.

"We've been tricked. Let's call it a day and talk about it when we get back!"

"Fall back, fall back!"

At a command, the SWAT officers put away their weapons, quickly and orderly returned to their police cars, and left—they came and went just as fast.

Not long after the special police left, Huba emerged from the hillside not far away with a dark expression.

When the henchmen saw their boss appear, they hurriedly ran over, their faces filled with fear, and said, "Boss, they're for real! They're all heavily armed SWAT officers! I'm terrified!"

"Damn it, boss! We've been targeted! What do we do? Should we run away and leave Liangshan?"

Huba's face turned ashen as he shouted, "Shut up, all of you!"

"Run? Where to run?"

"Calm down, everyone. Don't worry, things aren't that bad. If we're unlucky, others will be unlucky with us. There are people in Liangshan who don't want to see us get into trouble, so don't worry, go back first!"

Huba looked at the tire tracks on the ground and felt a wave of fear wash over him.

Fortunately, he listened to that kid and didn't come to trade with anything. Otherwise, if he had been caught red-handed, it probably wouldn't have been just a few days in jail; he might have even lost his life.

……

Liangshan County, Qingshui Village!

Ever since Lin Fan started buying snails for five cents a pound, everyone in the village has made money.

Every day, I mustered my courage and handed over forty catties of snails, which earned me twenty yuan—something I never dared to dream of before.

With money in hand, every household naturally improved their lives considerably.

Walking along the village paths, you occasionally encounter villagers, each with a smile on their face. They're all returning from outside, and every household is carrying rice, flour, and meat.

After returning home, Lin Fan recounted how he had hired a teacher to teach everyone to read and write.

The whole family was very excited.

"Third brother, they say good deeds are rewarded, and it's true! You helped that old Mr. Chu and made a good connection, which is why he was willing to come to our house as a teacher!"

Hearing his adoptive mother's words, Lin Fan turned his head and smiled at Xiao Xiuying.

Only the two of them knew that it took some effort to persuade this old man to come, all to establish good karma. If Lin Fan hadn't been so shameless, the old man really wouldn't have wanted to come.

Because the way he invited them over was really dishonorable, Lin Fan decided to cook a good meal at home today to entertain them and introduce Chu Jiang to everyone.

"Dad, Mom, Teacher Chu will be coming over later. It's her first time visiting our house, so we can't be rude to her. We should bring out all the good meat and vegetables we have and make sure the meal is plentiful to entertain her properly."

The elderly couple smiled shyly and nodded, saying, "Of course, of course. We can't let such a learned old gentleman suffer any injustice in our family!"

These days, if a child can get into high school, they're considered very learned, and if they can get into university, they're a big shot in the village.

As for teachers who can teach both high school and university students, they are usually only seen in schools in county towns.

It is truly a rare privilege for them to have such a learned person come to their home to be a private tutor for their children.

"Mom, make a big plate of chicken, stir-fry two vegetable dishes, steam two fish, and then make a pig's trotter soup. You all get ready, I'm going to invite Teacher Chu over!"

If we ate this meal outside, it would definitely cost tens of yuan. Even cooking at home wouldn't be cheap. But now that we have money, it's okay to splurge on such a meal occasionally.

"Alright, go ahead, Shuhan and I will take care of the cooking!"

Before long, Lin Fan arrived at Chu Jiang's house with eggs he had just taken from home, a piece of fresh pork, and two cabbages.

"Teacher Chu, you're taking a rest."

When Lin Fan arrived, Chu Jiang was dozing off on his small, shabby bed. When he saw Lin Fan come in carrying a huge pile of meat and vegetables, Chu Jiang shook his head helplessly.

"You don't need to spend any more money. You brought so much food, I can't possibly finish it all in a short time. It will spoil and be a waste."

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "So, teacher, you'd better eat as much as you want. Eat meat every day and have two dishes at every meal. You'll definitely be able to finish it all."

Lin Fan didn't dwell on the topic. After putting his things down, he invited Chu Jiang, saying, "Teacher Chu, come to our house for a meal later. You can get to know us and the place. Our whole family would like to meet you and thank you for staying to teach them."

Chu Jiang hesitated and said, "Isn't it a bit too formal?"

Lin Fan said seriously, "Teacher Chu, perhaps in your eyes this is your job and a small matter, but you don't know what it means to us."
