Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Jingyu had the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" build a pond on the shady side of Qixia Mountain.

The obtained "Ice Lotus" and "Ice Crystal Flower" were planted in the pond, and the "Extreme Ice Snow Lotus" released enough cold air into the pond to allow the Ice Lotus and Ice Crystal Flower to grow well.

After finishing all this, Chu Jingyu rushed home. As soon as he arrived, he went to his residence next to the ancestral hall.

Upon receiving news of his return home, Chu Qinhui rushed to pay his respects.

In fact, Chu Jingyu had not seen Chu Qinhui for two or three days. Chu Qinhui had been dealing with the household registration of the villagers living on Qixia Mountain.

After all, the original four villages had been destroyed, and Chu Jingyu wanted to merge these four villages into a new village, so he wanted to establish new household registrations.

Some villagers had reservations about his decision, but none dared to mention it to the Chu family, fearing they might offend the head of the household and be driven out of Qixia Mountain.

I spent a peaceful time on Qixia Mountain, but when I stood on the railing at the edge of the platform and looked down the mountain, I could always see all kinds of ferocious beasts wandering and roaming in the fields.

If they were to descend the mountain, they would likely lose their lives and possessions in less than a day.

Although the four villages agreed to merge into one village, Qixia Village, it was still divided into four parts according to the original village structure, with each part managed by the original village chief and clan elders.

However, this system of clan elder management will only weaken in the future, since the Chu family is above them, and even the clan elders are gradually losing their voice.

In the courtyard next to the ancestral hall, Chu Jingyu met Chu Qinhui. A servant poured tea for the two of them and then left.

Without offering tea or any formalities, Chu Qinhui cut to the chase:

"Father, the town mayor sent word today that the heads of the three great families need to go to town for a meeting tomorrow."

The explanation given was that the town's military forces needed to be unified and used to eliminate the extraterrestrial beasts as quickly as possible, in order to restore a stable living environment to Heyu Town.

So that's what happened. It seems a truly important figure has arrived, giving the anxious Paper Hawk County a leader, which led to the action of clearing out wild beasts.

"Yes, I am aware of this. I will go to town tomorrow."

After saying this, Chu Qinhui took a sip of tea and continued, "Father, we asked Xiaofan for his opinion. Regarding the engagement, he only said that he was unwilling to marry either of them and had no intention of getting engaged."

Chu Jingyu shook his head slightly. "I told you the child is still young, you don't need to be anxious. Our Chu family's child will never lack a good match in the future."

Since Xiaofan has said so, there's no need to rush. Oh, and don't forget to comfort Xiaoling from Chenjia Village, lest she keep waiting and delay her search for a good match.

Chu Qinhui nodded helplessly. He should have known better than to make fun of his son back then; now he had to clean up this mess.

"Also, the household registration for these four villages is almost complete. What should we do with them after that? We can't just keep supporting them like this forever, can we?"

"I already have an idea: cultivate large areas of medicinal herb fields, let them tend to the herbs, and record their daily contributions as points. In the future, if they want to obtain money, they can use the points they have to exchange for it."

Our family isn't short of money, but we lack various materials. We need to keep an eye out for anything that can be planted and buy it to try. This is the foundation for our Chu family's future for centuries to come.

Chu Qinhui realized that his father was planning to change his previous policy of letting the villagers graze freely. But this was good, as it would free up the labor force under his command.

"This is just a general idea. Go back and discuss it with Wu Heng, and refine the specific measures to avoid any oversights."

"Okay." Chu Qinhui made a mental note of this.

The setting sun was like blood, and the evening glow was like fire.

Looking at the magnificent scene in the sky, Chu Jingyu sighed, "Having survived so many calamities, Yu Town must be thriving now, right?"

……

As evening approached, Granny Liu, accompanied by a young maid, descended a few steps to the first platform, entered the house marked 01001, and gently knocked on the door.

This was where Chen Zhengchang's large family lived. Several young men were playing around a "yellow ox" in the courtyard. One of them came to the gate and asked, "Who are you?"

Some clever ones called out to their families, "Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, someone's here!"

A moment later, Chen Zhengchang came out of the house and was surprised to see Liu Mama. "So it's Liu Mama. Please come in, please come in."

Granny Liu knew that the outside of this courtyard was not a place to talk, and that what she was going to bring up today was not a very respectable matter.

She then led her maid to the main room and sat down.

Both of them served the same master, and Granny Liu did not think that she was much lower in status than Chen Zhengchang, the village chief, after all, she also managed dozens of maids under her.

Moreover, now that she is going out, she represents the face of the young mistress of the Chu family, so she can't not even dare to sit down.

Several sisters-in-law helped the old lady of the Chen family out. She didn't need to do anything, but since Granny Liu was a female relative, she still had to stay there with her.

Granny Liu took a sip of the tea prepared for her by the Chen family. Her mouth was full of bitterness and a fishy taste. She frowned and swallowed it. She put the teacup on the table and dared not look at it again.

"It was wrong of me to come here so abruptly, but the young mistress has something to arrange, so I have no choice but to come. Please forgive me, Village Chief Chen."

Hearing that Liu Mama's tone was a bit off, Chen Zhengchang wondered what his family had done to offend the mistress of the main house recently.

He replied with a forced smile, "What are you saying, Granny Liu? We're more than happy to welcome you. There's no need for apologies."

Granny Liu glanced at the little maid behind her, who understood her meaning and gently placed the basket in her hands on the table.

Granny Liu lifted the cloth covering the basket, took out a purse, and placed it in front of Chen Zhengchang.

"This is a purse that your daughter gave to my young master Fan a while ago. Our young master is too young to understand and doesn't know the sentiments that this purse represents. He simply thought it was a gift between friends."

When my wife learned of this, she felt it was inappropriate. After all, if we accepted it like that, it might cause misunderstandings. So today I'm returning the purse to avoid any misinterpretation by the young lady.

When the young girl standing next to Old Mrs. Chen saw the purse, her face turned deathly pale.

Chen Zhengchang was speechless for a moment. Did Chu Shengfan not have such thoughts?

Chen Minghua, the third son of the Chen family who was sitting at the end of the table, cupped his hands and spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, "We understand what Granny Liu means, but in any case, shouldn't Young Master Fan personally come forward to explain this matter?"

After all, my father has a certain relationship with the clan head, and Xiaoling was practically raised by the clan head. It shouldn't be decided hastily by you just giving a few words. Let the children meet and talk things out."

The three sons of the Chen family were quick-witted, and Granny Liu's gaze fell on them with a hint of admiration.
