No one knows how Manager Jin struggled with his decision. All Jiang Nuan knows is that by dusk, everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, without missing a single one.
"Since everyone's here, I'll get straight to the point," Jiang Nuan said, standing at the front. "Things have been a bit turbulent these past few days, so please put down what you're doing and don't go out."
"Not going out?" Manager Jin was troubled. "What about the business?"
“Father-in-law,” Huang Xiaosan said helplessly, “I’ve suffered even more losses than you, and I haven’t said anything.”
"It doesn't matter to you because you have a big business, but I rely on it for my livelihood."
“You can go out if you want,” Jiang Nuan said directly, “but don’t blame me if you can’t find your way back.”
"What's the meaning?"
"Literally, the village will be completely hidden in half an hour. Going out is possible, but coming back will be troublesome. You can decide for yourself whether you want to go out."
Jiang Nuan was very busy. After quickly giving her instructions, she started working on it.
Setting up a large array is very time-consuming. She had already mentally rehearsed it dozens of times, and she also had the experience she had accumulated in the space. Even so, it took her two attempts to succeed.
This formation primarily utilizes illusion and concealment, with offense and defense as secondary elements, and also incorporates Soul Gathering Formation and Qi Gathering Formation.
The moment the great formation was completed, everyone looked up at the same time.
"Madam Jiang is truly skilled!"
Doctor Gu, who had originally planned to leave, decisively abandoned his plan after feeling the changes in his body.
In an instant, it felt as if countless rare and precious treasures were washing over my body, and even my soul could feel a sense of lightness.
“No wonder Xiao Liu is so obsessed with the Qi Gathering Array,” Huang Xiaosan said, squinting his eyes comfortably. “It really is a good thing.”
Practicing in a Qi-gathering array will definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.
Unfortunately, his ambitions lay elsewhere, and he could only use the formation to temper his body.
“The grass underfoot looks so vibrant,” the old man said, squinting. “This year’s harvest is sure to be good.”
"Could it be that what my in-laws just said was true?" Manager Jin's heart was pounding. "Is it really true that we can't find this village anywhere else?"
"Father-in-law," Huang Xiaosan said with a malicious smile, "why don't you go out and try?"
They were reluctant to move in the morning, but later they couldn't even come.
"Get lost," Manager Jin said, his face darkening. "You go first, then I'll leave."
"What about the business then?"
"It's not like we don't have land. We won't starve even if we don't have business. If all else fails, we'll just rip off the big spenders and eat them dry."
Manager Jin's mind was in turmoil.
This really scared him.
He thought he had already elevated the Huang family to a very high level, but now he realized that he had underestimated this relative.
They and the Huang family are from completely different worlds.
"Eat whatever you want; it's only right to be filial to your father-in-law."
Huang Xiaosan didn't take it seriously.
Since these people have been brought here, the family will not ignore their lives, but they cannot say it outright.
As he spoke, he turned his head and asked, "Brother Fang, do you have any plans?"
Fang Han's expression was complicated; he was also frightened by what had happened today.
“I have an imperial order to obey and cannot leave. However, this matter is of utmost importance, and I must send someone back to report.”
His role in guarding the Immortal Manor was ostensibly to watch over the bean fields, but his primary responsibility was to protect the Huang family, especially the Lady Protector of the Nation.
However, Fang Han now feels superfluous.
With the skills of a national protector, she is more than capable of protecting herself and does not need to meddle in other people's business.
“That’s good,” Huang Lao Er didn’t want Fang Han to leave either, “we can continue to spar.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Han instantly regretted his decision.
He wants to run away whenever he sees Huang Lao Er.
It's good to be ambitious, but Huang Shu always seems to be stepping on your own efforts to improve, which makes people unhappy.
Fang Han thought Huangshan was a freak.
When I first started learning martial arts from you, all I could do was charge forward with my fists raised. Although I was strong, I had no technique. I didn't know how to dodge, avoid, or launch a quick attack. Every day I would beat you until you were bruised and swollen.
However, in just over a month, this thing has grown into a humanoid beast.
He became so strong that he could withstand stones, and his speed and agility increased.
Still disregarding rules and taking unorthodox approaches, he has already developed his own fighting style.
I can barely manage now, and I always end up injured.
But this guy, with a smile on his face, would challenge me to a duel every day, and I couldn't avoid him no matter what.
After thinking for a moment, Commander Fang decisively changed his mind, "I just remembered that there is an important matter that needs to be reported to His Majesty in person. This time I will go to the capital in person."
"Could we send someone else?"
“No,” Fang Han said with a light cough, “State affairs are not child’s play, and must not be taken lightly.”
"Okay then."
Huang Lao Er was somewhat disappointed.
Of all the people in the family, only Brother Fang is willing to spar with me.
Now that he's left, it's uncertain whether he'll be able to find another one.
Seeing this, Commander Fang quickly straightened his face and said, "Gentlemen, you may continue your discussion. I will go to the capital to report on my duties."
After saying that, he strode away without looking back.
"Going to the capital," Manager Jin said with some envy. "I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to go to the capital in my life."
Even doing nothing, just staying under the emperor's nose and basking in his aura is enough.
“There’s definitely an opportunity,” Huang Xiaosan said confidently. “Once the westward trade routes open, we’ll definitely be able to follow behind and make a fortune. With money, we can go anywhere.”
"Go to the palace?" Manager Jin scoffed. "That's the most prestigious place in the world; no amount of money can buy it."
"It's not like I haven't been there before," Huang Xiaosan said dismissively, curling his lip.
However, he was very clear about what he could and could not say, and even though he was unhappy, he did not refute it again.
“You two continue chatting,” the old man said, not wanting to waste time talking. “I’m so bored these days, I’m going to see where I can clear some land.”
Now that her son has moved in, her daughter's burden is getting heavier and heavier, and she always has to find ways to earn some income.
After thinking it over for a while, the old man decided to go back to his old trade: farming!
Upon hearing the words "reclaim wasteland," Manager Jin suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Qiu Shan, let's reclaim wasteland too."
Even if we can't do business, clearing land is still a good option.
Look at how well the grass is growing; the soil is so fertile it's practically dripping with oil. Turning it into fertile land would be just as good as doing business.
“Manager,” Qiushan said, somewhat speechless, “we can open it, but none of us know how to plant it.”
Upon hearing this, Manager Jin froze.
He had completely forgotten this most important thing, and after realizing it, he turned to his son-in-law.
"I'm not very good at it either," Huang Xiaosan said awkwardly. "My older brothers do most of the work in the fields."
When I was little, I followed behind my two older brothers and helped them.
Later, he even went to work as an apprentice in a restaurant and didn't work in the fields for two years.
Later, after she was redeemed from her servitude, she moved to town after only a few jobs, and she was no longer familiar with farm work.
The conversation between the two made Huang Lao Er purse his lips, "It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, just follow what others do."
Farming is such a simple thing; all you need to do is put in the effort and thought.
