Seeing this chaotic scene, Lu Jiayan knew that things wouldn't end so easily today.

Annoying and boring.

"Brother Jiayan, why are they so bored? We might as well go back and read more books."

An Wan sat on the small stool he was sitting on, and took his arm in a coquettish manner.

The books she was referring to were those about cultivating immortality from the spatial library, not the language and math textbooks from outside.

Lu Jiayan took her hand and said with a smile, "Why don't we go back first?"

"Sneaking away?" An Wan whispered in his ear.

He lowered his head and gave her a shy smile.

The two were of one mind, understanding each other's gaze.

"Dad, Jia Yan needs to use the restroom, I'll help him," An Wan said to Lu Sen.

"Okay, go ahead! Be careful." Lu Sen had no doubts whatsoever; he believed everything she said.

Lu Zhili was so engrossed in watching the show that he didn't hear An Wan's voice at all, nor did he notice her figure.

Lu Jiayan and An Wan slipped away from the ancestral hall.

No one at the scene noticed; they were all too busy watching the spectacle.

The two walked along the path home, chatting quietly about books about cultivating immortality.

He also discussed with her about going into the space tonight to prepare for cultivation and enter the Qi Refining stage.

The sooner the better.

An Wan naturally agreed, which showed that he was ambitious and not afraid of hardship.

The matter is still ongoing at the ancestral hall.

To clear his name, the clan chief, in front of all the villagers, had two people open the ballot box.

Hundreds of slips of paper with names written on them were dumped on the table.

Have them count it again.

I spent twenty minutes counting it again, and the result was still the same score as before.

Yu Dawei and Lu Hai, the siblings, were pale and embarrassed.

They were met with ridicule and disdain from hundreds of people, and dared not speak. In the end, they tucked their tails between their legs and slunk away.

Lu Sen shook his head helplessly; both children had gone astray following Yu Dawei's example.

What should I do?

They have no parents, and their grandmother is in prison and won't be out for at least three years.

Lu Sen couldn't think of a solution and was caught in a dilemma.

On one side was his biological mother, and on the other was his eldest son.

Who is he going to help?

If he had helped his mother back then, his eldest son would have hated him for the rest of his life.

If Grandma Lu successfully changes his college entrance exam scores, his eldest son will get zero points and will have no way to go to university except to repeat a year.

He felt a pang of guilt if he didn't help his mother.

Although she didn't love him and never gave him a single bit of maternal love, she was still his mother, and it was impossible for him to have no feelings for her at all.

Therefore, driven by his conscience, he had no choice but to send money to the prison every month.

With this money, Grandma Lu can have a better life in prison.

The clan elder announced the election results again and asked Lu Guochang to come up on stage to take the village chief's seal and other items.

From today onwards, he is the village chief of Lujia Village.

Niu Ahong covered her face and cried bitterly; she had finally waited for this day.

Her husband had been waiting for this day for a long time.

He always felt that he had accomplished nothing in his middle age.

Without a career, one cannot provide the best life for their family.

He felt guilty and was in pain.

She knew he was in a lot of pain; he couldn't do business, he wasn't good at studying, and he certainly couldn't become a high-ranking official.

For years, they could only do odd jobs and heavy, tiring work to support their families. They had no social standing and didn't even dare to speak loudly.

But she thought he was very good, very remarkable.

Because he has a good temper, he loves his wife and children.

He took on half the responsibility of raising both children, often feeding them and changing their diapers in the middle of the night.

I have to work during the day, and when I get home I still have to wash a whole bucket of diapers and bathe the baby.

Lu Guochang's voice choked with emotion as he looked lovingly at his wife and children on stage.

"Ah Hong, Ah Yong, and Qian Qian, thank you for your continued support. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. Thank you."

"The child's father—"

"dad--"

Seeing him open his arms, Niu Ahong and Lu Qianqian rushed onto the stage and hugged him.

Lu Sen saw this and was deeply moved.

A family should be united like this; only then can life have hope.

——

When An Wan and Lu Jiayan returned home, she first took out an ice pop from the small refrigerator to eat.

At that time, refrigerators were much smaller than the large double-door refrigerators of the 2020s.

"Brother Jiayan, have a bite." She hadn't eaten yet, but she gave him a bite first.

Because he doesn't like ice cream or popsicles, she only took out one popsicle earlier.

But how can you not eat popsicles in the middle of summer?

Is it still summer?

"Okay." This time Lu Jiayan did not refuse. He took a bite of the popsicle and slowly got used to its coldness.

And a hint of sweetness.

"Isn't it delicious! Brother Jiayan, I'll make you ice cream when I have time. That's the best one."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After the two finished eating their ice cream, they realized it was already 11 a.m.

It's lunchtime again.

——

An Wan and Lu Jiayan were cooking lunch in the kitchen when a major event was taking place on Shenxian Mountain.

Xiao Ye was watching over Ling Jingxuan, who was cultivating, when golden light appeared on his head, a sign that he was advancing to the Void Refinement stage.

"Great, you did it!" Xiao Ye was overjoyed. It wasn't like Ling Jingxuan hadn't even opened his eyes yet; he wanted to rush over and hug him.

The Void Refining Stage!

This time, he actually advanced two levels and broke through the Void Refinement stage.

That's too fast.
