My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 109 The Hidden Boss

Lu Qing, sitting in his wheelchair, was so happy he forgot all about home. His ancestors' mounts were truly extraordinary, able to spin around so nimbly.

The Song and Xu families standing nearby also realized that the old man's sprained ankle was just a pretense. He wanted to sit in the chair but was too ashamed to take it from the younger generation, so he made a fuss and got the child to bring the chair to him.

That's really disrespectful to elders.

Lu Qing quickly realized that his actions were inappropriate, and he coughed lightly, "This chair is rather unique."

Lu Xingyao's temple throbbed. If it were just a few unusual words, it wouldn't have made the old man go to such lengths, even pretending to sprain his ankle now.

He immediately looked at Lu Xingyan and realized that he had really misjudged his third uncle. He usually seemed like such a serious person, but he was actually helping his grandfather with these little schemes.

Of all those present, only Lu Zhou was an honest man who still believed it wholeheartedly. He even took the initiative to push the old man, saying, "Father, this thing is not like a carriage. Let me push it for you."

Lu Qing smiled. His sons were all so filial. Good, very good.

However, at this moment, Lu Zhou was only afraid that breaking the wheelchair would displease the ancestor. After all, the ancestor was now the provider of food and clothing for the twenty-six members of the Lu family, so he had to be careful.

At night, Lu Xingyan took out the remaining explosive cartridges from his satchel. He remembered that it was these very cartridges that had blown up many people that day, causing dust to billow and demonstrating their terrifying power.

He never imagined that what his ancestors had entrusted to him was so important. Even now, everyone still believes that the fire and loud noise that night were caused by his ancestors.

Lu Xingyan hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but after witnessing its power, he knew that it must not fall into the hands of others.

In the past two days, the officials had already noticed the strangely shaped chair in the Lu family's house during the day. It had such large two wheels that it looked like a carriage, except that someone had to push it from behind.

They were initially just curious, but when they saw that the chair could move on its own without anyone pushing it, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

If the food and tents they had received earlier were novel, and the divine punishment that followed was terrifying, at this moment, looking at the wheelchair that could move on its own without any external force, they realized that this was the work of the gods. These were just things that the gods had casually given them, things that mortals could not attain even after several lifetimes.

Gods do not exist in the mortal world, so they cannot imagine the things that gods possess. To see them today is an incredible stroke of luck.

"Luckily, our whip didn't fall on the Lu family members earlier."

Some minor officials were relieved, because in the first few days after leaving the city, in order to establish their authority and make it easier to control these criminals, they had been quite cold-faced. If a criminal was even slightly slow, their whips would be lashed out.

The Lu family members supported each other, never falling behind, and never crying out of exhaustion or hunger. Their whips were of no use to the other family.

"Li Si tried to harm them before, thank goodness we didn't go with him."

"Indeed! Looking back now, it was truly terrifying."

They had witnessed the divine power of the Lu family, and it had saved them twice. Now even their leader respected the Lu family, so they, the subordinates, dared not show any dissatisfaction.

Listening to the conversation among his subordinates, Du Hangwu reaffirmed his previous decision: after following the Lu family to the north, he would not return to the capital.

With divine intervention, the Lu family's current predicament is only temporary, and the family's prosperity will be restored sooner or later. As long as one works with the Lu family, one will eventually find a new way out.

He had already communicated with the Lu family, as for his subordinates...
When they arrive in the north, she will inform them about the situation in the capital, and they can decide for themselves whether to stay or leave. The next day, Gu Xingzhao wanted to check on the supermarket construction and then go to the Lu family for dinner later. However, she received a WeChat message from Mo Li, and then she remembered that Mo Li had said she would send her some vegetables after the harvest.

It was already noon when Mo Li delivered the groceries. Gu Xingzhao came out and greeted her.

Upon seeing Gu Xingzhao, Mo Li said happily, "Since I didn't know what kind of dishes you liked to eat, I brought a little of everything. If you can't finish them, you can give them to your relatives or neighbors."

Feeling a little embarrassed about accepting someone's vegetables, Gu Xingzhao smiled and agreed, "Let's have lunch together. There's a nice barbecue restaurant nearby."

Mo Li immediately nodded, "Okay, I'll bring the vegetables down first."

Mo Li called to the driver to open the back door of the truck. The driver unloaded a large basket of vegetables from the truck and placed it in front of Gu Xingzhao with a "bang".

Gu Xingzhao was stunned for a moment. This big basket of vegetables must weigh more than ten kilograms!
She thought Mo Li was just bringing her a little something, but this huge basket... could it be that she brought all the vegetables she grew in her own field?!

However, before she could even ask, another large basket of vegetables was slammed down in front of her with a "bang".

Gu Xingzhao: "???"

The third basket, the fourth basket... six baskets full of vegetables were placed in front of her, and she was dumbfounded.

Mo Li clapped her hands, signaling the truck driver that they could leave. Seeing Gu Xingzhao staring absentmindedly at the baskets of vegetables, she waved her hand in front of his face, puzzled. "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Xingzhao swallowed hard, pointing to the six baskets of vegetables in front of him. They were lush and green, and looked very fresh and tender. "Are all of these for me?"

Mo Li nodded. "Yes."

She was worried that this was too little, but the small truck couldn't hold any more. "If you like it after you finish eating, I'll bring you some more."

Gu Xingzhao: "."

She imagined going back to her hometown to farm, which meant a small plot of land, where she might only harvest about 20 kilograms at a time. But Mo Li suddenly sent her six large baskets!
The two of them worked together to carry six baskets of vegetables into the supermarket. Afterwards, they sat down in the living room on the second floor. Gu Xingzhao gave Mo Li a drink, and during their conversation, she couldn't help but ask, "May I ask how much land you actually cultivate?"

Normally, it's not a good idea to ask about such private matters, but she was genuinely curious.

Mo Li didn't seem to mind at all, and said frankly, "My own family only has a little over 100 mu, because there aren't many young people left in the village, and the older generation can't farm anymore. Many families' land is almost abandoned. A few years ago, my father returned to the village and advocated for modern management, connecting all the land in the village into one piece. When it was handed over to me, it was 1,000 mu."

With a loud crash, the stainless steel basin that Gu Xingzhao had taken to wash fruit fell to the ground.

One thousand acres.

She quickly bent down to pick up the basin, her hands trembling. One acre of land is easy to cultivate, but the expenses for a thousand acres alone are a considerable sum.

It was my professional background that limited my understanding; the person in front of me, Mo Li, was the real hidden master.
