While everyone was exchanging pleasantries, an older man suddenly asked, "Brother Su, I've always known that your little lucky star has a master, but I've never seen him around the village."

"Hey, what kind of master likes to travel around? They must live in seclusion in the mountains, oblivious to the affairs of the world."

"That's true."

Old Man Su nodded quickly, thinking that he might as well take advantage of the reason offered.

“My dear child’s master is not here right now.”

"Brother Su, if any expert comes to visit the village in the future, please let us know so we can give them a proper welcome."

"Yes, this little lucky star's master must be a very powerful figure."

Old Su waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "My granddaughter's master likes to travel and enjoy the scenery. If he really comes, I will definitely let everyone know."

What he was really thinking was, "I want to see it too! If they really come, it won't be your turn."

After Old Man Su left, the youngest daughter-in-law of the Liu family in the village, who had just married, was extremely disgruntled.

He stood aside, making sarcastic remarks.

"Look at how people keep their money-making methods so secret; even the kid's master won't introduce them to everyone."

"Are they afraid that if we build a good relationship with them, they'll give us something in return?"

Old Mrs. Liu's youngest daughter-in-law passed away from illness, and this new daughter-in-law is someone she just married into the family a couple of days ago.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers instantly flew into a rage. How dare she speak of that little lucky star? He was the benefactor of the entire village.

As soon as Liu's youngest daughter-in-law finished speaking, the onlookers immediately retorted: "You little slut, if you don't understand what's going on in our village, then stop meddling. Instead of spending your time cleaning up your two stepsons, stop them from wandering around the village all day smelling so bad."

A woman who looked to be in her thirties or forties pointed at the young woman and retorted, "Don't you even know your own worth? Are you so shameless that you think someone should teach you anything?"

"These kids are new here, aren't they? Look at them, they're so pitiful. They have a stepmother and a stepfather, and they won't even wash their clothes."

"Who can argue with that? This youngest son was separated from his family by Old Lady Liu years ago because he was lazy and irresponsible."

It's bad enough that those two kids have an unreliable father, but their mother died early.

The stepmother who was brought into the family... Oh dear, how pitiful."

The young woman never imagined that her casual remark would lead to such a large-scale attack.

She originally just wanted to stir up people's dissatisfaction with the Su family, because she felt bad seeing them earn so much money.

I never imagined that these people would not only not think there was anything wrong with it, but would actually defend the Su family. They are a bunch of fools.

The people surrounding the young woman were talking amongst themselves.

Seeing that she was outnumbered, the young woman quickly grabbed her little stool and went home.

As soon as Old Man Su and his companions returned home, they saw their grandsons playing together enthusiastically.

"It's all your fault! You ruined all my books, and why are you arguing without washing your hands?"

"Waaah, no, I didn't mean to."

Su Mingxuan cried so bitterly. He was thinking about the books his younger sister had given them, one of which he had ruined. How was he going to explain this to his sister when she came back?

She was crying when she looked up and saw her younger sister staring at her with her big eyes. She quickly wiped away her tears.

"Little sister, hiccup!" Before she could finish speaking, she started hiccuping and crying.

Su Muyao was immediately amused by this scene.

My older brother is so cute; his red eyes are like a big rabbit's.

"Okay, okay, it's broken, it wasn't intentional."

"Sister, are you really not angry with me? That was a gift you gave us, and I..."

"Okay, okay, it's nothing, don't cry. I'll buy you whatever you want from now on, lots and lots of it."

Su Mingxuan then stopped crying and started laughing. After regaining his senses, he realized how embarrassing he was being.

He actually cried like that in front of his own sister; he was so ashamed he couldn't face anyone.

As the stall became increasingly successful, those with ill intentions also came.

That day, several burly men suddenly surrounded Old Su's stall.

Among them was an old man covered with a white cloth, who insisted that the old man had died from poisoning after eating their braised meat.

"Pay up! If you don't have two hundred taels, I'll take your lives."

These people asked for two hundred taels right off the bat, clearly they weren't really there for the money.

"Hey you guys, are you sure you've got it wrong?" Old Man Su stepped forward, looking puzzled.

Their braised meat is made very cleanly; they buy and cook it fresh every day, and the ingredients are washed several times.

They prepare food even cleaner than they would eat at home, so there's no way they could get poisoned from eating it. They taste it every time they cook it.

"It's you! This person died because he ate your braised meat and he still wants to deny it. Now come with us to see the officials."

"Why waste your breath on them? Just smash it!"

When Su Laosan saw that the other party was going to smash the stall, he immediately started fighting with them.

Soon, the eldest and second eldest brothers joined in, but they were quickly knocked to the ground by the burly men.

All the money from today's sales was taken by these people.

Some regular customers wanted to help, but when they thought of this group of people, even the burly guys were at a loss.

They've been eating at this stall since it first opened, and there's never been a problem. It's obvious that this group of people are professional thugs.

To specialize in such dirty and despicable things, the stall owner must have blocked other people's path to wealth or offended someone.

Everyone knew the truth, but no one dared to interfere.

"This is an IOU. Put your fingerprint on it now or I'll beat you to death."

The burly man in the lead stepped on Su Laosan's back, while another man pressed Su Laosan's hand onto the IOU. At this critical moment...

With a loud thud, the burly man fell to the ground.

Soon, howling sounds followed.

A small hole appeared on his leg, and the onlookers scattered in all directions.

"Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"

Without making a sound, Su Muyao threw the pistol back into her spatial storage; her weakness was her family.

Su Laosan looked at the person who had pinned him down just a second ago, now lying on the ground hugging his legs and howling.

He then looked at his little daughter. It must have been her divine master who intervened, otherwise how could this situation have occurred?

The others brought by the big man dared not make any further moves. Who knew? What if some hidden weapon suddenly flew towards them again?

At this moment, the little dumpling arrived in front of the burly men like a god of death, looking at them with fierce eyes.

Two of the burly men, looking at the little dumpling, unconsciously took two steps back. Their intuition told them that the hidden weapon they had just used might be related to this little dumpling.

"The person you're talking about who died from poisoning died after eating our braised meat."
