"Who?" Yang Ming suddenly felt a prying gaze and couldn't help but whisper.

Wei Qingqing, Liu Nannan, and Liu Sao and Xiao Bao'er, who had just entered the courtyard, all felt a chill run down their spines.

"It's me, Brother Yang. I just came out of the greenhouse..." Zheng Dahan walked out from a corner.

"Da Han? Why are you so busy so late?" Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't notice that Aunt Liu's expression was already unfriendly, and extremely unfriendly, as if she were staring at Zheng Da Han as if he were her father's killer.

"I finished working at the old greenhouse and came to the new one. It's getting late..." It was dark, and Zheng Dahan didn't see Liu Sao's expression. He scratched his head and said.

"Oh! Then hurry back as soon as you're done..." Yang Ming said gently, frowning.

"Sigh..." Zheng Dahan nodded repeatedly, then ran off in a flash.

"Yang Ming, fire this Zheng Dahan for me..." Aunt Liu said with a gloomy face.

"Why? He's doing a pretty good job..." Yang Ming asked, puzzled.

"No reason! I just don't like him..." Aunt Liu said, sounding quite domineering.

"Okay, I'll talk to him about it tomorrow..." Yang Ming quickly agreed. In his opinion, it was best not to mess with Aunt Liu in this state.

"Hmph!" Aunt Liu huffed and led the little boy, who had fallen silent because of his mother's temper, into the house.

"My aunt is acting really strange today. Did something happen to her during her blind date?" Liu Nannan whispered in Yang Ming's ear.

"What did the two of them talk about during their blind date?" Wei Qingqing asked softly.

"It's nothing! I'm sure it wasn't about a blind date. On the way back, Aunt Liu was still laughing her head off. The guy was rude, but Aunt Liu didn't take it to heart at all..." Yang Ming said with certainty.

"Then...when did Aunt Liu's expression change?" Wei Qingqing asked, and Liu Nannan also perked up her little ears.

"If you're talking about Liu's wife changing her attitude, it started when we returned to Liu's Village. Uncle Liu was especially warm towards me, and I felt that Liu's wife was a little uncomfortable..." Yang Ming said.

"Is this jealousy?" Liu Nannan, though young, was shrewd enough to use an old phrase in a new way.

"Most likely..." Wei Qingqing nodded solemnly, then looked at Yang Ming: "Why is Uncle Liu being so enthusiastic towards you? Is there something he wants from you?"

"Speaking of which, there really is one, it's about our scrambled eggs..." Yang Ming said.

"Hey... Brother Yang, you're being a pervert, you're so bad..." Liu Nannan cried out in embarrassment, covering her burning red face, and ran away in a flash.

"Uncle Liu definitely wants a son, so it's normal for Sister Liu to be unhappy..." Wei Qingqing's mind worked quickly. "As children, everyone wants to enjoy their parents' love alone, and Sister Liu is no exception. If Uncle Liu really has a son, he will definitely put all his attention on his son, and his attention to Sister Liu will decrease accordingly. So it's normal for Sister Liu to throw a little tantrum."

"Alright, let's stop guessing. Why don't you just ask her directly tonight? Let's go inside..." Yang Ming said, pulling Wei Qingqing inside.

"I'm afraid she won't tell you the truth..." Wei Qingqing thought to herself as Yang Ming pulled her along.

There were many people in the room. Besides Yang Zhengfang, Zhang Shufang, Zhang Yang, Sun Fang, Zhang Fenghuang, Liu Lili, and Li Yueting, there were also Zheng Dabao and Zheng Yu.

A group of people are chattering away...

"Uncle Da Bao..." Yang Ming greeted Zheng Da Bao, then stepped forward and shook hands with Zheng Yu.

"Yang Ming, I heard your company got approved?" Zheng Dabao said.

"The application was approved?" Yang Ming hadn't been home all day, so if the company's application was approved, it must have been today.

Now that Zheng Dabao has said this, I was a little confused at the time.

"The application has been approved. Old Yang brought it over around noon today," Wei Qingqing said, taking a large file folder from the cabinet and handing it to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming opened the file folder and saw that it contained various certificates and licenses related to the clothing company.

Company name: Huaxia Garment Co., Ltd.

"Yang Ming, now that you've established a clothing company, which is also the only enterprise in our village, let's hold a village chief election meeting tomorrow. Taking advantage of this momentum, let's push your sister-in-law Liu to the position of village chief. This matter needs to be finalized as soon as possible, lest something unexpected happens," Zheng Dabao said.

"It's only two or three days left, why are you in such a hurry?" Aunt Liu said, frowning her delicate eyebrows.

"Has something unexpected happened?" Yang Ming asked.

"You're right, the Wang family is up to something again. I heard that on election day, they're going to invite the deputy county head in charge of agriculture, Wang. That deputy county head is actually from the Wang family, from Wangjia Village, from Wang Duo's branch..." Zheng Dabao said.

"If that's the case, then there's a real possibility that something unexpected might happen in this election?" Yang Ming said.

"Of course, if this Deputy County Head Wang really comes, he could easily get Wang Duo elected just by saying a few words or making a statement..." Zheng Dabao said worriedly.

"Village elections are fair and just. How dare he, a county official, speak up? As the saying goes, 'bad people come from poor mountains and bad waters.' We're in a poor mountain village. If he dares to express his opinion, we'll play hard to get and completely embarrass him..." Yang Ming said.

"You little brat, if you can handle him, then he can handle me too." Zheng Dabao rolled his eyes.

"Is Uncle Da Bao afraid of him dealing with you? Would he dare to lay you off?" Yang Ming said.

"Why wouldn't we dare? If he says a word to those above us, we'll be in deep trouble. Don't underestimate him just because he's a county official; he's only a deputy division-level official. In the local area, he's a very powerful figure," Zheng Dabao said.

"If he dares to cause trouble for us, we'll petition the higher authorities, sit down at the gates of the municipal and provincial governments, and we won't leave until he's removed from office," Yang Ming said.

"Is it really necessary?" Li Yueting rolled her eyes, inwardly disdainful. "Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to deal with a deputy section chief?"

"Hehe, let's avoid conflict if we can..." Zheng Dabao chuckled, looked at Liu Sao, and said, "Xiao Fen'er, try to come up with a plan tonight, and when the village chief is elected tomorrow, present the plan to set the tone..."

"No problem, it was all Yang Ming's idea. He told Yang Ming to prepare..." Aunt Liu then looked at Zheng Yu and asked, "Uncle Zheng Yu, what's the matter?"

"Nothing much, just came to check in. I heard you went on a blind date today?" Zheng Yu said directly; he was there for Aunt Liu.

"Oh? Uncle Zheng Yu already knows?" Aunt Liu didn't feel embarrassed at all; she hadn't taken the blind date seriously in the first place.

"I heard it from your mother-in-law. She said she won't interfere with your remarriage, but Bao'er can't go with you..." Zheng Yu said.

Aunt Liu's face turned pale instantly. The old woman's words sounded nice, but wasn't she just using her daughter to keep her tied down?

"...I'm just passing on a message to your mother-in-law. To be honest, whatever you want to do, I support you. This is what I'm saying on behalf of the Zheng family..." Zheng Yu added.

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng Yu..." Aunt Liu's complexion improved a bit, but it was still somewhat ferocious. It seemed that Aunt Liu hated her mother-in-law to the core.

"Has no one eaten yet? Hurry up! Let's make something fresh and eat together at home..." Yang Ming put all the clothing company's certificates into the file folder and then placed it in the cabinet.

"We won't eat here..." Zheng Dabao said, getting up to leave, and Zheng Yu also stood up.

"That won't do. We're eating here all day..." Yang Zhengfang quickly urged the guests to stay.

"Why are you making it now? We've already cooked the food, hurry up and lift the lid..." Zhang Shufang said, getting up and walking towards the outer room. Wei Qingqing and Sun Fangfang also got up and followed her out.

"Let's eat here. After we finish eating, we can have a good discussion about tomorrow's election. We absolutely cannot allow any unexpected situations to occur, and we must not give the Wang family a chance to turn things around," Yang Ming said.

Despite everyone's enthusiastic urging, Zheng Dabao and Zheng Yu had no choice but to stay.

After dinner, a group of men sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) discussing tomorrow's election, while a group of women went to the hot spring pool to enjoy a relaxing soak.

"Sister Liu, what's wrong with you today?" A group of women were playing in the hot spring, but Wei Qingqing and Sister Liu were in the cabin. They had just come out of the hot spring, completely naked, and were whispering to each other under the same blanket.

"What's wrong with me today?" Aunt Liu asked somewhat languidly.

The warm, hot spring water washes away the day's fatigue, making you feel lazy right from the inside out.

"Don't you realize it yourself? You're not in a good mood today, like something's bothering you," Wei Qingqing said.

"No..." Aunt Liu didn't even want to open her eyes anymore; she just wanted to get some sleep. Sleeping on this makeshift bed on the floor was just too comfortable.

"If you don't have anything on your mind, why are you picking on Zheng Dahan? He's your mother-in-law's subordinate! He listens to your mother-in-law the most..." Wei Qingqing said.

"A toad trying to eat swan meat..." Aunt Liu's face turned a little ugly. Ever since Zheng Yu said those things to her, she was even more certain that Zheng Da Han was definitely not spying on her mother-in-law's orders, but rather acting on his own initiative.

"You mean Zheng Dahan has feelings for you? You're his sister-in-law..." Wei Qingqing was startled.

Now that the two families are on good terms, Wei Qingqing and Aunt Liu can speak without any reservations and can say whatever they want.

"What's it to you?" Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at Wei Qingqing, then wrapped her arms around Wei Qingqing's slender waist and hugged her.

"Sigh... You really don't know what's good for you. I'm just trying to warn you. You mustn't let your guard down. Young people are impulsive. You have to be careful that Zheng Dahan doesn't do anything rash to you..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Him? To be honest, I would have been a little wary of him before, but now, I could take him down with one hand..." Aunt Liu's strength now was definitely not something an ordinary person could match.

"You're really something else... If he drugged you, you might even cooperate with him, or even rape him..." Wei Qingqing deliberately exaggerated the situation.

"You silly girl, what nonsense are you spouting?" Aunt Liu pinched Wei Qingqing's waist. "I didn't realize your skin was so smooth and delicate. You must have been lazy all along, you've really gained weight..."

"I think you're really tired of living..." Wei Qingqing was in a lot of pain from being pinched, and she retorted by pinching Liu Sao's waist. "Outside are my mother-in-law, my best friend, and my husband's classmate. If you can take advantage of me again today, I'll change my surname to yours..."

"So what? I have my niece, my daughter, and Teacher Zhang. They eat and live in my house all the time, but they don't help when it matters..." Aunt Liu was in a lot of pain from Wei Qingqing's pinch, but she was not going to back down.

The two of them started wrestling in bed, their fair arms and jade-like legs intertwined, a truly pleasing sight. However, no one in the room was there to appreciate this beautiful scene.

"Mommy, godmother..." Little Bao crawled in through the window.

"Baby, come help Mommy deal with your godmother..." Aunt Liu quickly called her daughter over to help. "Like father, like son," she said, "a mother and daughter can do it too..."

"Baby, come help your godmother. If you help your godmother deal with your mom today, your godmother will reward you with a laptop..." Wei Qingqing also began to tempt her with benefits.

"Hehe..." Little Bao immediately crawled into the quilt and began to help the two mothers fight the enemy. In fact, she was just a fence-sitter, always on the side of whoever had the upper hand.

Finally, both mothers saw through the little devil's true nature. So, united in their hatred, they pinned the little guy down and worked together to discipline him. The little guy's giggles carried far into the night, until eventually, his laughter became somewhat distorted.

"Who bullied my granddaughter?" Zhang Shufang was furious. She climbed out of the hot spring pool and went into the small wooden house to help her goddaughter...

"Wei Qingqing, how dare you bully my god-niece! I'll teach you a lesson..." Sun Fangfang also jumped out of the hot spring pool and went into the small wooden house.

"You dare to bully my students? You're all asking for trouble..." Li Yueting seized the opportunity to join the fray.

"If we don't join in, won't we seem like we're not fitting in?" Zhang Fenghuang said.

"But who should we help?" Liu Lili asked.

"We represent the side of justice, so of course we'll help whoever is weaker..." Zhang Fenghuang said.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, then both came out of the hot spring pool and went into the cabin.

"You all go ahead, this hot spring pool is mine now..." Liu Nannan lay back happily in the hot spring pool.

After a few disrespectful commotions, the group of women all lay down on the floor of the cabin to rest.

"What were you two talking about just now?" Zhang Shufang, Wei Qingqing, and Aunt Liu were all lying in bed together.

"It's nothing, I just asked Aunt Liu why she was in a bad mood today..." Wei Qingqing said while gently patting the sleeping Xiao Bao'er.

Aunt Liu smoothed Xiao Bao'er's slightly disheveled temples: "It's just that something happened on my blind date today, and the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel." Aunt Liu wouldn't tell anyone the real reason for her bad mood.

"Oh? What happened?" Zhang Shufang asked curiously.

The other women also pricked up their ears, ready to listen to what Aunt Liu had to say.

So, Aunt Liu recounted the entire process of her blind date that day, especially emphasizing the conditions that Zhao Dengke had set for her.

"Auntie, that Zhao Dengke is a real scoundrel..." Liu Nannan's face turned red with anger.

"Silly sister, haven't you figured it out yet? Those words were all told to you by that Aunt Kou. You should scold that Aunt Kou..." Zhang Fenghuang, as expected of someone who writes about palace intrigue, easily uncovered the truth of the matter.

"It seems Yang Ming is no pushover either. He calls himself an Earthling, he should be from the Milky Way. Doesn't he care about driving that old lady crazy?" Liu Lili said.

"Poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. This old lady is really naive. With Liu Sao's looks, she would be a hot commodity even in a big city. How can she expect to lose 100,000 yuan in this poor mountain village? Are you kidding me?" Li Yueting said.

"Hot commodity? What kind of commodity is she, sister-in-law?" Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at Li Yueting. She was very dissatisfied with Li Yueting now. This girl was eating and living in her house for free, but in the end, she actually teamed up with others to bully her.

"Teacher Zhang was just using a metaphor, Aunt Liu, don't take it too seriously..." Sun Fangfang said.

Apart from Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing, no one knew that Teacher Zhang Hong was also called Li Yueting.

"That's right, Aunt Liu is just nitpicking and deliberately bullying people..." Li Yueting pouted and said.

"She bullied you, but you won't bully her daughter, will you?" Zhang Fenghuang urged with a wicked smile.

"Would I dare? Xiao Bao'er is Yang Ming's goddaughter! If I bully Xiao Bao'er, Yang Ming would skin me alive!" Li Yueting said, pouting.

"Skin you alive? No way? Yang Ming doesn't have the habit of stripping people, especially not a woman. You didn't actually believe your dream, did you?" Liu Lili was quite wicked, deliberately misinterpreting what others meant.

"It seems Sister Lily has a deep understanding of this, huh? What, you dreamt that Yang Ming stripped you of your clothes? Just stripping your clothes is one thing? Did Yang Ming do anything else? Is he a beast? Or even worse than a beast?" Li Yueting retorted without backing down.

"It's no big deal to tell you! I know Yang Ming pretty well. He seems quite serious most of the time, not at all like a beast, but when he gets beastly, he's inhuman. I dream about Yang Ming bullying me every night." Liu Lili was very outspoken. Since Yang Ming got married, she has become more natural around him, unlike before when, although she only considered him a friend, she would always feel a little restrained when the topic turned to him.

The key point is that this is a group of women, so it's no wonder they speak without restraint! Don't think of women as noble and pure; when they get together, the things they say can be quite lewd, especially when they're married.

"Hmph... Don't take dreams seriously..." Wei Qingqing's tone was a little sour. To be honest, no woman would feel comfortable if she encountered such a beautiful woman fantasizing about her husband.

"Hmph, so what now? I regret it so much. I never thought Yang Ming was so great. I should have pursued him back then..." Liu Lili said.

"I'm the one who lost out the most. If I had known Yang Ming was so sought after, I would have made a move right away and secured him beforehand." Zhang Fenghuang said with a look of regret.

"Hey, it's not too late for you guys now, is it? Lily is my brother's mistress, and Phoenix is ​​my brother's fourth mistress. Hehe, you guys are getting a good deal..." Sun Fangfang had a wicked smile on her face and kept glancing at Wei Qingqing.

"Hehehe, Fangfang's idea is not bad. Yang Ming is keeping a bunch of mistresses, at least Aunt Zhang will be beautiful..." Li Yueting looked at Zhang Shufang.

"Of course, if an ox plows four or five plots of land, the chances of growing grain are much higher. You can easily guess..." Aunt Liu looked at Wei Qingqing with a somewhat malicious smile.

"It seems that Aunt Liu cares about Yang Ming quite a bit? Then you can become Yang Ming's fifth concubine... If you give my mother a big, fat grandson next year, maybe my mother will make you her official wife..." Sun Fangfang said with a smile.

As soon as Sun Fangfang spoke, the temperature in the entire cabin plummeted by thirty degrees. No one knew whether Aunt Liu would do something rash.

Aunt Liu is a widow, unlike Liu Lili and Zhang Fenghuang, so some jokes shouldn't be made casually.

Sun Fangfang felt uneasy; in fact, she regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth...

Aunt Liu wasn't angry at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Being the fifth mistress isn't bad. Anyway, someone will take care of me, and I won't have to worry about food or drink."

"You wish! Yang Ming doesn't want you..." Wei Qingqing's eyebrows shot up in anger as she pointed at Zhang Fenghuang and Liu Lili in the room, saying, "And you two, you absolutely have no chance. I advise you to give up on that idea!"

"I'm not giving up. I'm determined to take Yang Ming for myself..." Zhang Fenghuang said, her big eyes narrowing into crescent moons.

"Yes, me too. You'd better keep your husband by your side at all times, otherwise, if I catch you off guard, I'll eat him alive!" Liu Lili chimed in.

"Ignore her. Once we've made it official, we'll celebrate properly in front of her..." said Aunt Liu.

"Yes, yes, Aunt Liu is right..." Zhang Fenghuang nodded repeatedly.

"You..." Wei Qingqing was furious.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. You're all grown up, don't you know shame?" Zhang Shufang finally spoke up.

The group immediately fell silent, no longer daring to say a word.

"Let me tell you, don't joke about Yang Ming anymore..." Wei Qingqing glared at the women in the room, her tone rather unfriendly.

"Hmph..." Aunt Liu snorted disdainfully, not taking Wei Qingqing's words to heart at all.

"Protected? No way, I just like Yang Ming..." Zhang Fenghuang simply closed her eyes, wanting to avoid seeing him and getting annoyed.

"Only you treat Yang Ming like a treasure, as if everyone else cherishes him." Liu Lili curled her lips with disdain. Actually, she felt quite sour inside. Of course, this did not mean that she had fallen in love with Yang Ming, but rather that everyone has the desire to possess good things.
