Not long after---
A sumptuous dinner was gradually laid out.
The youngest child in the aunt's family stood in front of the table, staring intently, constantly swallowing his saliva.
Afterwards, when the adults weren't looking, the child used his little mouth to pick up a piece of meat and ate it with great relish.
"Mother, my brother stole some food."
The second girl called out, and the aunt came running over and slapped the child's bottom several times.
"You've forgotten what your mother taught you. You have no manners at all."
The child pouted, wanting to cry, but not daring to.
However, the child cannot be blamed for this.
It's mainly because they don't know any better. Actually, their aunt's family isn't well-off right now. If Ah Chen and Ah Mo hadn't come today, they wouldn't have been willing to cook this table full of meat.
Ah Chen walked over, pinched the baby's cheek, and then directly picked up the biggest piece of meat and fed it to him.
The kid was probably afraid that Ah Chen would tease him, so he grabbed Ah Chen's hand, bit down hard, and ran away with the meat in his mouth.
Seeing this, Ah Chen smiled.
Tang Yue'e said, "Achen, I can see that you really like boys. Is your first child a boy?"
"No, I don't like boys."
Don't like boys?
Tang Yue'e was puzzled.
Even Amo, who came over, wanted to know why Achen didn't like sons. She had been hoping to give Achen a son in her first pregnancy so that Achen's branch in the Mu family of Heiwu Village could continue.
Why?
Ah Chen said in a serious tone, "A son is good! If he is taught well, he is a son and I am his father! If he is not taught well, I am his son and he becomes my father and my ancestor."
*Pfft*
Tang Yue'e laughed.
Even Amo couldn't help herself. She stepped forward and glared at Achen, saying, "How can you say that?"
"Amo, there are plenty of real-life examples! Anyway, I still prefer girls a bit more."
Amo wanted to argue with Achen, but then thought better of it.
Tang Yue'e stepped back to Hua Ting, who was taking out wine from the cabinet, and whispered, "Our Miao family's A-Chen really has a different way of thinking than others."
Hua Ting said in a low voice, "I just chatted with him. He is a wise and unassuming future Miao king. He has a world in his heart that we cannot reach. What he just said makes a lot of sense."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Ting brought out the Wuliangye liquor that he had always been reluctant to drink.
Everyone, please sit down at the table.
Ah Chen stared at the wine that Hua Ting had taken out, examining it closely before clicking his tongue and saying, "Not bad, a 'radish head' from the 1980s. This is good stuff, not cheap."
"Radish head?"
"Auntie, don't you think this bottle looks like a radish head? That's why everyone likes to call it that. Look, Mo, it even has a yellow label, tsk tsk..."
Ah Chen clicked his tongue, looked at Hua Ting, and gave him a thumbs up.
Hua Ting knew that A Chen was a discerning person, so he directly gave A Chen two bottles and placed two bottles in front of himself as well.
Tang Yue'e and A Mo each had a bottle.
"Drink more tonight!"
Fill the glass to the brim and raise your glasses together.
Bang---
The aroma of Wuliangye (a type of grain) is rich and strong.
It has a long-lasting aroma, a mellow taste, a sweet taste on the palate, and a clean finish on the throat. All the flavors are well-balanced and just right.
Ah Chen poured the wine again, stood up, and toasted Hua Ting and Tang Yue'e respectively.
The two members of the main family, their affection for Achen, if we disregard his future identity as the Miao King, is simply the care of elders for a junior.
Halfway through the meal, the conversation finally got down to business.
However, what brought the topic to the forefront was Tang Yue'e's question about the events in the outskirts of the county town today.
Ah Chen didn't hide anything and told the truth.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue'e said thoughtfully, "No wonder! Ah Chen, your car is too conspicuous, mainly because of the license plate."
“Ah Chen, a murder case occurred in the county last night. An entire family of eighteen was wiped out. It was a horrific scene. That’s why you encountered so many police officers in public security hats and military police officers in green uniforms when you came to the county today.”
"The person who stopped you after you passed through the checkpoint is very likely the brother-in-law of another vice principal of the county's No. 1 Middle School. He is the captain of the county traffic police brigade."
Achen asked, "What do you mean?"
Hua Ting began to explain, "A few days ago at your Miao Drum Festival, you publicly hit your cousin Mu Dian and revealed that he had taken your place in the county's No. 1 High School entrance exam. This matter has been under investigation for the past few days."
According to Hua Ting, the county and city governments took the matter of Mu Dian replacing Mu Chen very seriously after the incident at the Drum Festival.
A special task force was established that same day.
Upon investigation and verification.
The person that Boss Mu contacted was a vice principal of the county's No. 1 Middle School.
After being dismissed, the vice principal was subjected to a lot of trouble by his wife.
The police chief in the public security hat who deliberately provoked Ah Chen today is the vice principal's brother-in-law.
"No wonder, I was wondering why they would come looking for trouble with me out of the blue. Turns out they wanted revenge."
As Ah Chen finished speaking, Tang Yue'e said angrily, "They've picked the wrong target! They want to take revenge on my Miao family's future Miao king; they're asking for death."
Hua Ting nodded and said, "After this incident, the city government launched a major inspection of education in Tianfeng County. Just two days ago, an old colleague of mine said that the vice principal who was dismissed from No. 1 Middle School had also engaged in illicit exchanges of benefits with the upper management of other schools."
"The most serious one is the vocational high school in the northern suburbs that was already on the verge of falling apart."
"Now that this has happened, the city and county governments have made the decision to disband this vocational high school, which already has a small number of students."
"More than 100 students have been transferred to other schools. The bribes received by the school leaders cannot be recovered. The county government will auction off the school's land to repay the government's treasury."
Upon hearing this, Ah Chen's eyes lit up.
Amo opened her mouth and said, "So, we've come at just the right time! The county government wants to sell it. Uncle Hua, do you know the price?"
"I'm not sure about that, but the area of a vocational high school is at least 40,000 square meters. I estimate that it will cost at least 800,000 yuan."
800,000 or more?
So at most it's nine hundred thousand?
Ah Chen laughed.
He knew this location; prices were low now, and the vocational school was in the northern suburbs of the county, which was in the direction of their town.
It may not seem worth much now, but after the millennium, that area became the focus of the county's development.
"Achen, what are you thinking?" Amo asked, noticing Achen's furrowed brows.
Ah Chen raised his eyes and said, "When I go to the county government tomorrow to meet with the mayor and county head, I'll discuss this matter with them. But before that—"
"Uncle Hua, Auntie, I'm sure Amo has already told you the purpose of our visit today over the phone."
Let's get down to business.
Hua Ting and Tang Yue'e both held their breath.
Ah Chen said, "Ah Mo has already told me about your situation. We've come to ask you to come out of retirement."
Amo took out the plan written by Achen.
Hua Ting and Tang Yue'e immediately started reading.
The couple became increasingly alarmed as they looked.
Because Ah Chen's goal is too big.
In their shock, the passion that had been dormant in their hearts for five years was completely awakened and ignited.
