The aunties collectively: “Get lost!”
The men who were inexplicably despised : “…”
Lotus Flower Village had changed a lot. Even Yu Wan, who returned home from time to time, would always feel this way. Yan Jiuchao could feel the changes in the village even more. The workshop was not only in the stinky tofu business now, but there were also salted eggs, pine eggs, pickled vegetables, and various other foods that were suitable for storing and long distances. The pine eggs were a formula given by Yu Wan and could be considered an exclusive business. The supply could not meet the demand.
The mine had also entered the mining stage. Every day, there would be clanging sounds coming from the mountain. The village did not have enough labor, so they recruited a hundred or two hundred people from other villages. The more people there were, the more food they had to provide. The Yu family could not handle it. Yu Feng thought of a way and contracted the canteen.
Of course, benefits should not go to others. The contract was also contracted to the villagers. The village headman took this job. The money he earned from selling food every day was more than his annual income!
Some old people who were idle at home also saw a business opportunity. They could not do heavy work, nor did they have to take care of their grandchildren (their grandchildren had all gone to Ah Wei’s house to study). Therefore, they brewed cold tea at home, cut cold melons, and placed them at the village entrance to sell. They did not sell for much, so they earned money from hard work. However, there were many people, and every day, all of it would be bought by the miners and workshop workers who went down the mountain.
To put it bluntly, they had a high salary and did not have to be stingy with one or two copper coins. In the end, Lotus Flower Village was almost the village with the highest GDP in the surrounding villages.

“Son-in-law Yan!”
“Ah Wan!”
Along the way, the villagers they met called him that.
Son-in-law Yan… Yu Wan smiled. It sounded quite nice.
A three-year-old boy chased after a big yellow dog and fell in front of Yan Jiuchao. His dirty little hands subconsciously grabbed Yan Jiuchao’s hem, and a pair of black palm prints instantly appeared on the spotless material.
Yu Wan was really afraid that this clean freak would fly into a rage. However, Yan Jiuchao did not say anything and only reached out to help the little child up. It was said that serious men were the most charming, but in her opinion, his appearance when he stepped into the mortal world was the most charming.
The little fellow was Aunt Zhang’s grandson, Doggie.
Doggie looked at Yan Jiuchao in a daze. As he looked, he drooled. Yu Wan’s face immediately darkened. He was not allowed to drool over her husband!
Soon, Doggie’s mother came over. When she saw the black handprint on Yan Jiuchao’s clothes, she picked up the little brat and apologized for a long time.
“It’s fine,” Yan Jiuchao said.
Her husband was so good! Yu Wan smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with Doggie before pulling her husband home.
Yu Song had already been called away by Shuanzi and Erniu. They said that it was not easy for him to come back, so they had to drink. At first, Aunt was a little unhappy, worried that they would drink too much and ruin her son’s studies.
Uncle snorted. “Don’t worry! Little Song’s alcohol tolerance has always knocked them out. Have you forgotten what kind of person your son is?”
These words were true. Yu Song had stolen Old Master Yu’s wine since he was young. His alcohol tolerance was unbelievably high. In the village, he was known for not getting drunk after a thousand glasses.
Uncle continued, “You should worry about Shuanzi and the others. Don’t let anything happen to them.”
Aunt slapped her thigh and went to Shuanzi’s house.
The third branch’s house was built. It was connected to the Ding Family’s new residence. An iron gate was built, and after that, it was a big mansion.
Yu Shaoqing was supervising the development on the mountain. When he heard that his daughter was back, he left his work without a word and walked down the mountain.
After not seeing her for a while, Yu Wan had still changed a little. Her facial features had grown and she looked more like her mother. Naturally, she had also become more beautiful. She’s missing the inexperience of a girl and had the bearing of a new madam. However, that was in front of others. In Yu Shaoqing’s eyes and heart, his daughter would always be that delicate little darling.
“Ah Wan!”
“Dad.”
It was Yan Jiuchao’s voice. Yu Shaoqing’s face darkened. Why was this kid here too?!
When Madam Jiang heard Yan Jiuchao’s voice in the room, she walked out sickly. Unlike Yu Shaoqing’s unhappiness, she liked it very much!
“Ah Wan, talk to your father.”
“Oh.”
Madam Jiang smiled. Her son-in-law was hers!!!

Little Bruiser had gone to the village school (Ah Wei’s house) for class and would only return at noon. The little fat fellows had also gone to Ah Wei’s house, but the three of them were not studying, but practicing martial arts.
After throwing the little fatties off the roof—which smashed a person unconscious, throwing them off the treetop—which knocked out the dogs, Ah Wei no longer had any illusions about their qinggong talent.

Ah Wei painfully accepted the fact that his disciples were trash. Since that was the case, the path of martial arts could not be taken. Fortunately, the number one villain of the Ghost Clan had many other abilities other than martial arts.
For example, he was the youngest Gu Master in the clan! A Gu Master did not need martial arts. He decided to nurture his three useless disciples into the number one Gu Master of the new generation. He wanted to teach them the most powerful Gu technique. The first step was to find Gu.
Gu was not born with it, but nurtured postnatally. The stronger the main body, the more powerful the Gu worm nurtured.
Ah Wei brought his three disciples up the mountain.
“Do you see this? This is a Toxic Green Insect. Its poison is enough to paralyze an adult’s arm in fifteen minutes.”
“This is a Five-Colored Spider. If you’re bitten by it, you can faint for three days and three nights.”
“And this…”
Ah Wei taught them everything he had learned in his life. “…Your martial arts are not good, and your qinggong is not good either. You have to learn Gu techniques well, understand?”
The three little fatties nodded adorably. Thus, Ah Wei began to teach them how to catch insects. Fortunately, they were quite bold even though their martial arts were trash. They didn’t even blink when they caught poisonous insects.
Next, it was time to raise Gu. The method was not difficult. They placed these poisonous insects in a large urn and let them eat each other. The big poisonous creature that survived in the end was the Gu worm.
However, what made Ah Wei break down was that while other people’s poisonous insects were killing each other, his disciples’ poisonous insects were getting along peacefully, and each of them was fatter than the other!
2
The corners of Ah Wei’s mouth twitched. If raising Gu didn’t work… then he would plant Gu. There was no way they couldn’t learn this.
“Like this.” Ah Wei wore silver gloves and threw it at Qing Yan.
Qing Yan instantly exploded. “Brat, you poisoned me again!”
“Have you learned it?” Ah Wei asked.
The three little fatties nodded!
“Go.” The little villains of the Ghost Clan.
The three little villains carried their jars and left murderously!
