Li Changgeng gasped, his eyes wide with shock: "Madam Mo, is what you're saying true? We can grow mushrooms here? Those are precious delicacies only the rich can afford. I heard a small dish of stir-fried mushrooms with meat costs one or two taels of silver..."
"..." Mo Qingcheng was dumbfounded. Had she been fooled by Qian Mansheng or had she been tricked?
Damn it, the price is going up in two months...
“Ahem… Village Chief, I’m thinking that since we don’t have any achievements, it’s not good for us to settle down here. Even with the protection of the Imperial Inspector, we can’t win people’s hearts. Only by letting the locals see our strengths and making them envious can we better integrate into life here…” Mo Qingcheng spoke eloquently.
The Li family listened with great interest. Grandma Li's eyes flickered slightly, and she became even more supportive of her daughter-in-law's wise decision to adopt Yue Niang's second child as her goddaughter...
Mo Qingcheng handed a sample of the confidentiality agreement to Li Changgeng, instructing him to arrange for people to take Shangguan Yichen away.
Liu Cuihua slapped her thigh: "Hey, honey, let our second son go. He's so bored all day long."
Li Yuanlin cried out in anguish, "Mother, I'm not a woman."
"You brat, you're always acting like a girl, you never act like a man. I'll beat you so badly you won't even recognize your own father. Are you going or not? You tell me, are you going or not?" Liu Cuihua was almost driven mad by the leather jacket and chased after it to beat it up.
Li Yuanlin ran while crying out, "Mother, am I really her biological son?"
"No, I picked her up from the roadside. You've been eating and drinking my food all these years, and you haven't done any work? Humph!"
"Uncle, run faster!"
"Uncle, run to the left..."
Heavens behold, my two little nephews were watching the spectacle from the sidelines, clapping and cheering.
Grandma San's eyes were slightly upturned, as if she was deep in thought. Her daughter-in-law was absolutely right. That brat was always causing her so much trouble. She really wondered if he was even her son's child.
Cough cough... You're overthinking it...
Liu Cuihua turned around, caught a glimpse of her mother-in-law's gaze, and was startled: "Mother, don't think about those things..."
The daughters of Lady Mo's family are not at his level to be matched with. Sigh, my mother-in-law is really bold...
Grandma Li glared angrily at her daughter-in-law: "Cuihua, you know what kind of person your mother is, why are you making such wild guesses?"
"Ahem... Mother, come and eat. Don't leave that brat a single bite today." Li Cuihua coughed lightly and brought the bowl over.
Grandma Li and the two little ones sat together, eating with relish, when Li Yuanlin ran back, his bowl cleaner than his face, let out a wail, and wiped away tears with both hands.
Li Changgeng and Liu Cuihua exchanged a glance before going about their respective tasks. Li Changgeng, in particular, was an impatient man; he took the contract and headed straight to the clan chief's house. This matter was of great importance, and the sooner it was settled, the sooner they could become rich.
The two veteran team leaders remained calm and composed. After listening to Li Changgeng's words, they simply replied, "Yes, we understand."
"No, clan leader, you... you already knew about this?"
"How is that possible?"
You're overthinking it!
Li Changgeng: "..."
I don't believe you guys!
The two clan leaders weren't unsurprised; they were already shocked. Wasn't it just Old Man Bai who blurted it out when he was drunk? No wonder...
Old Man Bai is fast asleep at this moment. Bai Yifan left a note and disappeared without a trace, only saying that his sect master had sent a message urging him to return as soon as possible. This journey is fraught with danger, and Yue'er cannot be taken along.
After worrying for two days and not knowing how to start the conversation, Old Man Bai overheard something while drunk and couldn't help but blurt it out...
The matter was quickly settled. Li Changgeng was a man of action, and the next morning, Nanping Village was in an uproar...
