Old Liu watched as Lu Guoan happily put the money away, and then reached out to ask Lu Yuan for his share.
"What about mine?"
Lu Yuan counted out another ten thousand and handed it to him with a smile, "Here, this is for you, keep it safe. Don't just give it to those kids all the time; they're not short of money."
During holidays and festivals, the old man would receive many red envelopes, but he would often slip money into the hands of those little guys, and he probably gave all the money in his hands to Sanbao and his brothers.
Old Liu chuckled as he hid the money, saying, "I know, I won't give it to you."
He can't give all the money away anymore; he has to save up dowries for Xiao Shi and Xiao Shi Yi.
Lu Yuan tidied up the remaining money, whistled towards the window, and soon there was a knock on the door.
Lu Yuan went to open the door, and several strong men came in.
"Director Lu!"
Lu Yuan nodded and pointed to the boxes containing the money.
"Could you please help me carry these boxes down the mountain and give them to my wife?"
"Understood, Director Lu."
The group picked up their suitcases and left. Lu Yuan handed over the red envelopes he had prepared for the staff on the mountain to Lu Guoan, and then went to Cheng Yanqiu's room to rest.
He didn't expect there to be other people in the room.
"Miss Li is here! Or I can come back later."
Li Jie blushed and quickly stopped him, "No need, I've already settled my affairs. You two talk, I'll be going now."
Once everyone left, Lu Yuan went into the room and sniffed around.
"Tsk tsk, a strong sour and rotten smell."
Cheng Yanqiu was startled and also took a couple of sniffs. "It really smells sour and rotten? Why can't I smell it?"
Lu Yuan laughed, "The sour smell of love."
Cheng Yanqiu smiled helplessly, "Lu, you're joking again. You made me think this room really had a bad smell. Miss Li must have been so embarrassed here just now."
"Don't worry, he's got a tenfold filter on you now. Even if it's your fart, he'll think it smells good."
Cheng Yanqiu: "..."
"Lu, is there something you need from me?" He quickly changed the subject.
Lu Yuan nodded. "Yes, just letting you know, take the money you took out today back after you go down the mountain. We won't make money off you."
"Why? I genuinely want to be healthy too. What, you don't want me to be healthy?"
How could that be?
“If you don’t have it, don’t even think about returning the money to me. I know you still need to build a school and library for the village, so consider this my contribution.”
"Alright, then I thank you on behalf of our village."
"I should thank you. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Lu, you are my benefactor."
Cheng Yanqiu spoke very seriously.
Lu Yuan raised the corners of his mouth, "I wouldn't call him a benefactor; it's a win-win situation for us."
After dinner, Lu Yuan led the Li family and Cheng Yanqiu to the side hall to retrieve the holy water.
Those seeking health and longevity should offer sacrifices for seven hours, after which they must be taken away. Those seeking offspring should offer sacrifices for forty-nine hours, meaning the family must return three days later to collect the offerings.
After collecting the holy water, Lu Yuan gave the staff special instructions, telling them to make sure they provided good service to the Shi family and to contact Lu Guoan if they needed anything.
The Shi family has their own bodyguards, and he also has other people he has arranged, so safety is not an issue.
After confirming that everything they ate and used was of good quality and there were no problems, Lu Yuan bid farewell to the Shi family and led the others down the mountain.
It was already dark when they got back down the mountain. Lu Yuan escorted the Li family members back to their villa, and without paying any attention to Cheng Yanqiu, he hurriedly went home.
Wei Wenqi and two assistants accompanied him.
"I'm back, honey!"
Wen Moxue greeted them at the door with a smile.
Seeing his wife, Lu Yuan felt much of his fatigue dissipate.
He pulled her into a tight hug, asking, "Honey, did you miss me?"
"Cough cough, umm!"
Just then, a coughing sound came from the side.
Wen Moxue quickly pushed the man away, glared at him, and said, "It's Wenqi and you guys, come in quickly."
"Hello, sister-in-law, sorry to bother you!"
Wei Wenqi and his two assistants greeted him warmly.
Lu Yuan sighed, realizing he'd missed his wife so much after a day apart that he'd completely forgotten about the three people behind him.
He waved his hand and said, "Go wait for me next door."
Next door is Lu Xiaojun's villa. Lu Yuan had said in advance that after coming down from the mountain today, he would have a meeting with the brigade cadres and other village leaders.
I guess they're waiting over there right now.
The three agreed and went next door.
As the couple entered the house, Wen Moxue asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want us to get you something to eat?"
"No need, Xiaojun and the others are probably getting impatient, let's go over as soon as possible."
"Should we transfer the money?" Wen Muxue asked.
The money was returned in the afternoon.
"Yes, we need to show them the money, to give them a real shock."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"No need, Erbao and Sanbao will help."
These two are more reliable; I can put their minds at ease.
"Okay, I'll go get them."
Wen Moxue quickly called the two brothers to the study. Lu Yuan gestured with his lip towards the box on the floor.
"Everyone help carry two boxes and deliver them to the uncle next door."
Erbao and Sanbao didn't even ask what was in the box, they just picked it up and left, with Lu Yuan following closely behind.
Upon arriving next door, Lu Xiaojun and a group of brigade cadres were already eagerly waiting.
"Oh, you've finally arrived."
