After a few days and nights, Shen Qiqi had lost a lot of weight, and her eyes were bloodshot. She looked like an internet-addicted girl who stayed up late to cultivate herself.

Finally, among a pile of ancient books that were about to fall apart, she found an ancient land record.

It is clearly recorded above that most of the area behind the mountain belongs to the Lu family.

"Yes! I told you, there is only one truth!" Shen Qiqi excitedly waved the information in her hand, as if she had just obtained a priceless treasure.

She felt like she was the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes, and the sense of accomplishment was overwhelming.

Lu Qing walked in with a bowl of steaming hot chicken soup. Seeing her excited look, he said distressedly, "You look tired. Drink some soup to replenish your energy."

Shen Qiqi took the bowl of soup and gulped it down. After the hot soup went down her throat, she felt warm all over.

She looked up at Lu Qing, her eyes gleaming with gratitude, "Brother Qing, thank you!"

Lu Qing reached out and rubbed her hair, then said with a smile, "Silly girl, why are you being so polite to me?"

The two smiled at each other, and the air was filled with a warm atmosphere. This dog food was so sweet!

Shen Qiqi put down the soup bowl, looking confident. She shook the information in front of Lu Qing and said proudly: "Brother Qing, look, what is this?"

"Hmm?" Lu Qing looked at the information in her hand.

The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and said, "Hey, it's a secret! Let's go find the head of the Zhang family and let him take a good look at who owns this back mountain!"

Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi with eyes full of doting

Shen Qiqi took the information, held Lu Qing's hand, and strode out of the house. Their backs looked particularly determined in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"This time, let's see what else he can say!" Shen Qiqi's mouth had a barely perceptible smirk, ### Chapter 163: Initial Discussion in the Mountains and Forests, Conflict over Rights and Interests (Continued)

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing, holding the information, strode towards the Zhang family head's house.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, and the golden light seemed to give them a layer of glory.

There was a determined light in Shen Qiqi's eyes, as if she had seen the dawn of victory.

"Is the clan leader at home?" Shen Qiqi asked in a raised voice as she stood in front of the Zhang family's gate.

The door creaked open, and the head of the Zhang family appeared at the door with a gloomy face and a hint of impatience on his lips.

"What are you doing here again?" the patriarch said.

Shen Qiqi was not frightened by his attitude, but became more determined.

She held up the document in her hand and said with a smile, "Clan leader, look, this is the ancient record of the land in the back mountain. It clearly states that most of the area in the back mountain belongs to the Lu family."

The patriarch took the information, read it carefully, and frowned.

He raised his head, suspicion surging in his eyes, "Is this thing really real? Are you forging it?"

Shen Qiqi smiled slightly, her tone sincere, "Chief, if it was forged, would I dare to bring this thing to you? Although our Lu family is not powerful, we are not unreasonable people. If you don't believe it, we can find the elders of the village to testify."

The patriarch frowned, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

Instead of continuing the confrontation, Shen Qiqi took a step back and made a new suggestion: "Clan leader, we can actually cooperate. If the land in the back mountain is developed together, not only will the Lu family benefit, but the Zhang family will also get a share. In this way, both families can become rich. Isn't this better?"

These words made the patriarch stunned at first, and the doubt in his eyes was gradually replaced by a hint of interest.

When the villagers watching around heard this proposal, they started talking about it and the atmosphere of curiosity became thicker.

"What this girl said makes sense. Cooperation between the two families may not be a bad thing." A villager's voice rang out in the crowd.

The clan leader looked at Shen Qiqi, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, "Are you really willing to develop it together with our Zhang family?"

Shen Qiqi nodded firmly, "Of course, we hope to achieve a win-win situation. As long as the Zhang family is willing to cooperate, our Lu family is willing to share a portion of the profits."

The clan leader was silent for a moment, his eyes shifting between the information and Shen Qiqi.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and revealed a hint of a sneer. "In that case, let's discuss the specific cooperation plan. However, I need to see if you have the ability first."

Shen Qiqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she still kept a smile on her face, "Of course, Patriarch, we will start discussing it right away."

The two smiled at each other, and the eyes of the surrounding villagers were full of anticipation.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing turned and left the Zhang family's gate with firm steps, as if they had already seen the beauty of the future.

"Brother Qing, we should be able to convince the clan leader this time." Shen Qiqi said softly, her tone full of confidence.

Lu Qing held her hand tightly, his eyes full of encouragement, "I believe in you, Qiqi, let's get this done together."

The two walked side by side towards home, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on them, as if cheering on their determination.

Chapter 163: Initial Discussion in the Mountains and Forests, Conflict over Rights and Interests (Continued)

After a heated debate, Shen Qiqi successfully convinced the Zhang family leader with her eloquence and the crucial land records.

Although the old man was stubborn, he was not heartless. Under Shen Qiqi's soft and hard tactics, he finally nodded and agreed to joint development.

"Oh my old waist, it finally worked!" Shen Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling light and airy. The sense of accomplishment instantly filled her, as if she had just won an epic battle.
