The next day, the village chief came to inquire about the situation.
Rumors were circulating in the village that the girl from the Nan family was an official.
Village chief Wang Zhenmin didn't believe that an official could still appear in their dilapidated village.
With a skeptical attitude, he arrived at the Nan family's door with his hands in his pockets.
As soon as Grandma Nan saw him, she hurriedly welcomed him in.
Get him a stool and let him sit down.
Wang Zhenmin was in a dilemma: should he sit or not?
Grandma Nan noticed his unease and asked, "Village Chief, is something the matter?"
Wang Zhenmin made up his mind and asked, "Auntie, the whole village is talking about how your Nan girl is an official. Please tell me, is it true?"
The whole village is waiting for the results.
"Oh, I thought it was something serious. Nan is an official, a minor one."
Wang Zhenmin was stunned; he really was an official.
At this moment, Nan Chunxian and Nan Chungu entered from outside the door.
Nan Chungu knelt down and ran to the kitchen, shouting, "Grandma, is there anything else to eat? I'm starving!"
Grandma Nan smiled and said, "Yes, Grandma will make it for you later."
Nan Chunxian turned his head and saw the person on the stool.
"Is the village chief just dropping by?"
Grandma Nan laughed and said, "He came to ask about your sister becoming an official."
Nan Chunxian nodded, and Nan Chungu then poked his head out from the kitchen.
"My sister got promoted again, this time it should be the second rank."
Last time you were a third-rank official, how did you rise so quickly, sister?
"No way, your sister is still a third-rank official."
Third, third rank.
Wang Zhenmin felt the stool was a bit too hot for his bottom.
Although he did not know the names of these officials, he knew that the higher the rank, the greater the official position.
The current county magistrate is only a seventh-rank official.
As for the Nan family, they are of the third rank.
He's a high-ranking official!
No wonder the Nan family had the money to build a large brick and tile house.
Why are the members of the Nan family so low-key?
Wang Zhenmin immediately got up from the stool.
Old Lady Nan: "Village Chief, why don't you have a meal before you leave?"
Wang Zhenmin shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, I have something to do at home. Thank you for your hospitality, ma'am."
If a high-ranking official of the third rank appeared in their village, the ancestral graves of every household in the village would be filled with auspicious smoke.
The news quickly spread throughout the village.
Those who once looked down on the Nan family now wish they could avoid them altogether.
They were afraid that the Nan family would come after them.
Tan Jiu also learned of this news.
If a high-ranking official of the third rank could be connected with the Nan family, wouldn't he be set for life, with no worries about food and clothing?
Yuqing just happened to be back.
Tan Jiu stepped forward and took his daughter's hand, "Qing'er, our great fortune has arrived!"
The next day, Yuqing and her daughter followed Nan Chunxian while he was chopping wood on the mountain.
Namgyal, who was panning for gold, received an urgent reminder from Cherry.
"Master, Master, Nam Chun-hyun is about to lose his virginity."
"Lost her virginity!"
Nanzhi emerged from underground, covered in dust and dirt, along with two other children who also looked like they were covered in dirt.
That young man has taken a fancy to some girl, and he can't help himself to her.
But Chunxian is the most upright and polite gentleman, how could he do such a thing?
"Cherry, what's wrong?"
Cherry: "Now that you've become an official, Tan Jiu has his eye on your family background and is planning to marry his daughter off."
Nan Zhi understood; Qian Lanfang and Tan Jiu had always been at odds.
When open tactics failed, they resorted to covert ones.
Nanzhi threw down her shovel and tossed a piece of gold into her spatial dimension.
"Erbao and Sanbao, do you want to get there?"
Erbao and Sanbao looked resentful, gazing at the gold at their feet, unwilling to leave.
Nan Zhi: "Go save them quickly. Next time I'll make you both a big gold chain. It'll be really cool to wear it around your neck."
The two wolf cubs ran happily toward Nan Chunxian.
Over here, Nan Chunxian frowned as he looked at the person in front of him.
Yuqing stopped him, her face flushed with embarrassment: "Brother Chunxian, I truly like you. Would you like to consider me?"
Mother said that if she wins over Chunxian, she won't have to work anymore.
Alternatively, one could live the life of a city lady surrounded by servants.
Nan Chunxian took a step back.
"I'm sorry, miss, I don't like you."
He walked past Yuqing, carrying his basket on his back, and left.
"Brother Chunxian!" Yuqing behind her gritted his teeth, "Since that's the case, don't blame Yuqing."
The next moment, Nan Chunxian collapsed to the ground and could not get up.
Tan Jiu, who had been hiding to the side, emerged from behind the tree.
"I told you to just do it, why are you asking him?"
Fortunately, the result was the same.
“Strip him naked.”
Tan Jiu directed Yu Qing, who was about to make his move.
Then they heard wolves howling in the distance.
"Mother," she said, her hands trembling, "are there wolves on our mountain?"
Tan Jiu looked around, his hands trembling. They hadn't been here long.
They have little understanding of their surroundings.
However, I've heard from the villagers that there used to be wolves on the mountain.
Later, a drought occurred, and the wolf pack left.
Could it be that the wolf has returned?
The wolf howls grew closer, and Yuqing grabbed Tan Jiu's hand.
"Mother, let's leave. I'm scared."
Tan Jiu was unwilling to give up and went through many hardships to find an opportunity.
Having missed a golden opportunity, the Nan family must be on guard.
"Let's go!"
"What should we do about Brother Chunxian?" Yuqing couldn't bear it.
If there were a pack of wolves, Chunxian would definitely not be able to escape.
Tan Jiu pulled his daughter along, saying, "What time is it? Why are you still worrying about him? Let's go!"
They had only taken three steps when two wolves suddenly sprang out of the bushes.
"Ah!" The two screamed in fright.
They had never seen a wolf this big before.
Its fur was shiny and it looked imposing, with sharp fangs. At that moment, it was staring at them with murderous eyes.
