Chen Kai said, "In addition, our village can also plan out a piece of land for your family to open a guesthouse. We can also provide the blueprints for the guesthouse, and we guarantee you will be interested."

Butler Liu thought for a moment and said, "Okay! Deal!"

After they reached an agreement, Chen Kai left. As long as he had achieved his goal, he was satisfied and finally resolved the issue of the guesthouse in Anping Village's future plans.

If they want to build a tourist village, then guesthouses are an essential part. When tourists come, there will always be people who live far away and need to stay overnight.

The Chen family couldn't solve the accommodation problem, so they encouraged other villagers to come to the inn.

However, their village also needed a large inn to decorate its facade, which was a time-consuming, laborious, and expensive task. The location had been planned, but how to build it was also a problem. Now, the problem has finally been solved.

This time, borrowing grain from the Liu family and planning the inn's land seemed like just a side bargaining chip, but that was actually his main purpose; borrowing grain was secondary.

However, the deal was satisfactory to both parties. Steward Liu was very optimistic about the future of Anping Village, which was truly a magical village.

Liujiazhuang is very close to Anping Village, so he had naturally heard about Anping Village's plans to be transformed into a tourist village. He even sat in on the training sessions held by the Chen family.

Butler Liu thought this village was really interesting, Anping Village was interesting, and the Chen family was even more interesting.

The Chen family is very visionary, has a broad perspective, and is innovative; they have a bright future ahead of them.

Just as Chen Kai was about to share the good news with his family, he saw Sanya run over and anxiously say, "Uncle, let's go quickly! That county magistrate is harassing my mother."

Chen Kai looked helpless. That county magistrate was really causing trouble. With things so chaotic outside, how many people wanted him dead? If something happened to him, the Chen family would definitely be implicated. Why didn't he just stay in the county town?

When they arrived at the village entrance, Chen Kai saw a man in a wheelchair with bandages wrapped around his body, smiling at Chen's wife.

Old Chen was holding his wife's hand, asserting his dominance, while glaring at the man with a displeased expression.

Chen Kai was speechless. Although the county magistrate had no improper thoughts about his sister-in-law, his smile was just too infuriating.

As for what happened to the county magistrate, it all started when Chen's wife saved his life.

The magistrate's gratitude towards this heroine who saved his life, helped him quell the riot, and intimidated the wealthy households in the county was like a surging river, never-ending.

Therefore, the county magistrate became Chen Laoda's wife's number one fan and even bestowed upon her the title of "Goddess of War".

Once his injuries had improved somewhat, he disregarded the dangers and overcame numerous difficulties to reach Anping Village, solely to express his gratitude.

When Chen Laoda saw that the county magistrate had come to Anping Village just to find his wife, he immediately flew into a rage. He stayed by his wife's side and wouldn't leave her side for a moment. For every word the county magistrate said, he would retort with ten.

As for the other members of the Chen family, they were naturally quite wary of the county magistrate.

It's not easy for the men of the Chen family to get married. If you want to steal their daughter-in-law, forget about the door, you won't even get a window.

The county magistrate greatly admired Chen Laoda's wife, but he disliked Chen Laoda somewhat, feeling that Chen Laoda was unworthy of the female warrior.

In his mind, it was truly a pity that the goddess of war had married such a scoundrel.

Seeing that the magistrate showed no anger or disgust at Chen Laoda's words, Chen Kai could guess what the magistrate was thinking. He was simply amazed that the female warrior had married this seemingly useless man; she had really struck gold.

After a short while, Chen Kai said with a smile, "Magistrate, I heard that many people outside want you dead. You'd better not come out. If you come again next time, why don't you bring some food for us? Our family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat."

The magistrate's lips twitched, but he calmed himself down. "Children speak without thinking, children speak without thinking!"

The magistrate smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have some matters to attend to at the yamen, so I'll head back now."

A few days later, the Chen family was astonished to see the two thousand catties of grain that had suddenly appeared.

Sanya exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful! We still have so much food at home!"

Zhou said proudly, "It's a lot, isn't it? Buying this grain has used up all my savings."

Daya said happily, "Grandma is amazing!"

Zhou said, "I was just afraid that you little ones would go hungry. I get anxious when the price of grain goes up, so I had my second son's wife secretly buy grain and hide it in the cave."

"I was heartbroken for a long time before, but now I feel that the money was well spent. You can't buy so much food with this little money these days."

Chen Kai said happily, "Mom, you're amazing! You actually bought so much grain."

Zhou hugged Chen Kai and said with a smile, "Originally I only planned to buy 1,000 catties, but after discussing it with your sister-in-law, we decided to buy more."

"Only your sisters-in-law and I know about this. We were planning to tell you when you little ones were about to go hungry."

At this moment, Old Man Chen said embarrassedly, "Actually, I also hid a thousand catties of grain. This grain is for you to eat. We men can grit our teeth and go hungry, but we can't let you and the children go hungry. Only my sons and I know about this."

Old Man Chen and Mrs. Zhou exchanged a smile; they had both kept a backup plan all along.

With the grain borrowed from Liujiazhuangzi, they should be able to sustain themselves until they develop the watermill.

After a while, they went to the place where Old Man Chen hid the grain, which was also a cave on this mountain.

When they arrived at the location, Chen Kai and his group found it to be very familiar.

As they walked, Chen Kai realized that they had been to this mountain before; it was the place where Chen Nong had fallen into the cave. Although they hadn't been here before, the environment was similar, so it must be that mountain.

Chen Kai thought that these caves should be connected to the place where Chen Nong fell last time, and there should be many interconnected caves on this mountain.

They had wanted to explore the cave before, but Chen Nong's fall had terrified his family, so they forbade them to come here. Unexpectedly, his parents had hidden so much grain here.

They walked for a long time, winding their way through the mountains, before finally reaching their destination. Old Man Chen found the granary where the grain was stored, checked it, and found no signs of tampering. He then opened it and saw that it wasn't damp, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After some discussion, the Chen family decided to move out the two thousand catties of grain that Zhou had hidden first, while Old Man Chen would keep the grain he had hidden away for future needs.
