Tang Wan was relieved to learn that everything had gone smoothly and the Seven Star Life-Protecting Array had been successfully activated.

"At least things are temporarily settled." She murmured to herself, then looked up and saw the fields outside. "Perfect! Let's harvest you first! This is the sorghum that's going to be returned to the Yu family."

She skillfully used her mind, and the ears of grain fell down in large swathes, neatly gathering together.

After the harvest was complete, Tang Wan quickly scattered the new sorghum seeds into the loosened soil.

Waiting for the next grain harvest.

Tang Wan looked at the land, including the newly reclaimed fifteen mu of land, which yielded higher grain production and stored up a lot more grain.

“It seems like quite a lot…” Tang Wan glanced at the barn and silently calculated in her mind, “But the road to repaying the debt is still long. The Yu family’s tens of thousands of catties should be enough after harvesting two or three more rounds of sorghum. But the Zhao family borrowed it in the first place, promising to pay it off in six months, at a rate of 500,000 catties per month, and they are still far from that.”

She sighed softly, but her eyes quickly hardened again. "But we can pay it all back!"

Looking at the land in the space, Tang Wan felt a sense of emotion, never expecting that this land in the space was truly her blessed land.

It was not only crucial for preparing military provisions for the War King, but also an important part of her career.

The grain harvested from this land was previously only sold to the Zhao family as seed, but this laid the foundation for long-term cooperation.

Moreover, this land will continue to generate value for itself in the future.

The "Yu Bing Shao" business, which collaborates with the Yu family, also uses food from the space, which is another source of income.

Of course, we still owe the Yu family for grain. We can only think about making money after we pay back what we owe them.

She had asked the Yu family for grain in exchange for the high-proof liquor she had prepared for the War King. The Yu family, remembering their past kindness, readily agreed, and she remembered their favor.

Of course, he promised to provide a good brewing recipe, but the Yu family was also willing to give "Yubing Shao" 20% of the profits.

They are, after all, a family that has accumulated good deeds.

A soft rumbling sound from her stomach interrupted Tang Wan's thoughts.

Tang Wan joked about herself, "I've been so busy that my stomach is protesting."

She deftly used the ingredients in the space to prepare a simple meal for herself.

After finishing her meal, Tang Wan left the space and went directly to the fortune-telling shop.

It was agreed that Ding Li would come to the office to pick him up in the afternoon.

Everything at the shop was normal. Boss Wan was doing his accounts when he saw Tang Wan arrive, so he quickly put down what he was doing to greet her.

The two had only exchanged a few words when Ding Li arrived to pick them up.

Just as I stepped out of the fortune-telling shop, I unexpectedly ran into the Luo family.

It was Miss Luo, the eldest daughter of the Luo family, accompanying her mother, Madam Luo, as they were heading towards the inquiry shop.

The two of them were stunned for a moment when they saw Tang Wan dressed as a man.

It was the eldest daughter of the Luo family who reacted first, bowing to Tang Wan and smiling as she greeted her, "Sister Tang, what a coincidence!"

"It's quite a coincidence!" Tang Wan replied politely. Luo Yun, seeing Tang Wan's politeness, didn't know what to do. She later learned about her sister-in-law's actions, but she always felt that their relationship was good, so seeing Tang Wan's reaction made her somewhat sad.

It was inevitably revealed on their faces as well.

However, Luo Yun quickly adjusted. She understood Tang Wan; if her family members were targeted like that, she probably wouldn't be able to greet people with a smile either.

Then Tang Wan also bowed to Madam Luo and said, "Hello, Madam Luo! You all go ahead with your work, I'll head back now!"

Tang Wan was impeccable in terms of etiquette, but she didn't want to get too close to them.

There was no way around it; Wu was just too annoying, and it was hard for her not to connect them.

After all, Wu was the daughter-in-law of the Luo family.

Moreover, she is Mrs. Luo's only daughter-in-law.

Madam Luo didn't show any displeasure when she saw Tang Wan, but she could only manage a forced smile. After hearing Tang Wan say that she was leaving first, she exchanged a few polite words and let her go.

After Tang Wan left, Madam Luo realized where she was. What was even stranger was what Tang Wan's second daughter was doing here.

So they went into the fortune-telling shop, and Madam Luo first asked the shop assistant, "What was that person who just went out doing at your shop?"

Mr. Wan was also there. He had just noticed that Tang Wan didn't seem to want to talk to the two of them. When he heard Madam Luo ask this question, he declined, saying, "This involves personal privacy, so I'm sorry I can't tell you!"

Mrs. Luo was taken aback, feeling that this person was being incredibly disrespectful, so she asked in a stiff tone, "Who are you? I didn't ask you!"

Mr. Wan politely bowed and said, "Excuse me, I am the owner of this shop!"

It took Mrs. Luo a long time to catch her breath before she finally managed to force a smile and say slowly, "So it's the boss! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

Mr. Wan gave a sincere smile: "Madam, you are too kind. May I ask what brings you here?"

After a slight hesitation, Madam Luo said, "It's like this, there have been some unusual things happening at home recently. I heard that the master in your shop is quite skilled, and I would like to ask the master in your shop to help take a look."

Mr. Wan had some suspicions to begin with, and Mrs. Luo's words only confirmed his earlier guesses.

Thinking about Tang Wan's reaction just now, he didn't dare to agree easily.

So he politely said, "Then please tell me what happened to you? Is it urgent? Our master just went out. Please tell me what happened and leave your address. I will tell the master about your situation when he comes back."

“It’s like this,” Mrs. Luo said with a hint of worry in her eyes, “My daughter-in-law has been acting very strangely lately. First of all… my son noticed some strange marks on her arm, like fresh cuts. When he asked her what happened, she only said that she had accidentally cut herself, but her eyes kept darting around and she didn’t dare to look at anyone.”

Mrs. Luo sighed and continued, "I'm not afraid to tell you this, but my son thought I was tormenting his wife and came to me with questions. I never imagined that the son I raised would doubt his mother like this. We had a big fight in anger."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Luo Yun couldn't help but mutter, "It was my brother who was in the wrong. How could he doubt our mother?"

Mrs. Luo gently patted Luo Yun to shut up.

Then he glanced at Boss Wan and said, "A while ago, my daughter-in-law did something wrong and was confined to the Buddhist hall. Not long after she was released, she started acting mysteriously, often locking herself in the Buddhist hall for most of the day. After the argument, I started to observe my daughter-in-law carefully. Originally, worshipping Buddha was a good thing, and I thought she had reformed, which was somewhat comforting. But I didn't expect that the way she worshipped... it's creepy."

Luo Yun nodded in agreement, adding, "Yes. Although my sister-in-law wasn't exactly kind before, she wasn't always so gloomy, with such cold eyes. Once, when I got up in the middle of the night, I heard some noise outside, so I quietly went out to listen. I found it was a low sound coming from the Buddhist hall, like chanting but not quite, and I also smelled a... rusty, fishy smell."

As Luo Yun spoke, she rubbed her arms, clearly still feeling a bit scared when she thought about it. (End of Chapter)
