Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

"What mistake? Aren't my conditions good enough?" He Yuzhu was taken aback.

“Your conditions are indeed good, but which city girl doesn’t have a few well-off relatives?” Xiao Shan looked at He Yuzhu with a serious face. “Girls these days are ambitious. Women can hold up half the sky. If you have a condescending attitude, even if they were initially satisfied, they will become dissatisfied after seeing your attitude!”

He Yuzhu was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Xiao Shan was right.

So he nodded and said, "Xiaoshan, you're right. I was wrong! I'll change, I definitely will!"

"Okay!" Xiao Shan looked at He Yuzhu and instructed, "You need to know that if the girl is dissatisfied with you because of your attitude, Director Wang won't help you anymore when he finds out!"

Having said everything he needed to say, Xiao Shan took the stool and went back to his room.

Just as I was about to close up shop for a break, I saw Xu Damao walking towards my house, carrying a bottle of wine in one hand and a plate of braised meat in the other.

Upon arriving at Xiao Shan's home, Xu Damao smiled and said to Xiao Shan, "Xiao Shan, I'm in a good mood today, let's have a drink!"

"Alright, then I'll benefit from Brother Mao's generosity!" Xiao Shan stood up with a smile.

He went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, and then Xiao Shan took out a plate of peanuts and a plate of fried rice from his bedroom.

These things were naturally bought by Xiaoshan from the group's online store, and he would eat them as snacks whenever he had free time.

Seeing that Xiao Shan had arranged the things, Xu Damao poured two glasses of wine and pushed one of them in front of Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan took a sip of his drink, looked at Xu Damao, and smiled, "Brother Mao, what's making you so happy today?"

"Xiaoshan, I finally got my revenge today!" Xu Damao picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth. "You know, Shazhu and I have had our share of conflicts in the yard! Every time, Uncle Yi tries to smooth things over and sides with Shazhu. I've put up with him for a long time!"

"An old man lost face at the hospital assembly today, and I'm so happy!"

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Xiao Shan remained noncommittal.

In Xiao Shan's view, neither Yi Zhonghai nor Xu Damao were good people.

However, he and Xu Damao have no conflict of interest now, so they get along quite well.

Xiao Shan raised his glass of baijiu and clinked it against Xu Damao's, then drank it all in one gulp.

As a result, the burning sensation went straight down his throat to his stomach, and Xiao Shan quickly ate two bites of food to calm it down.

"Xiaoshan, you still need to work on your drinking capacity!" Xu Damao said, looking at Xiaoshan's actions with the air of someone who had been through it all.

Xiao Shan waved his hand: "Brother Mao, I think it's okay to drink a little, but drinking too much isn't good for you!"

While Xiao Shan and Xu Damao were drinking at home, Yi Zhonghai was sulking at home.

An older woman sighed and advised, "Old Yi, don't be angry. If you get angry and something bad happens, you'll be the one who suffers. Besides, who would have thought that Dongxu's family is the only one in our compound who still has a rural household registration that hasn't been transferred!"

"It makes me angry just thinking about it. If it weren't for Sister Jia's greed for that little bit of land in the countryside, she and Dongxu's wife would have changed their household registration long ago!" Yi Zhonghai said helplessly. "I realized from today's meeting that if you want to have a voice in the courtyard, you still need someone to help you by stirring things up!"

After calming himself down, Yi Zhonghai looked at the older woman and said, "Divide the flour into portions and send two jin to each household. I'll take ten jin of flour and ten jin of cornmeal to Dongxu. The Jia family is in trouble right now, and as their master, I have to show some support!"

"I'll see later if I can transfer Qin Huairu's household registration to the city. The children are growing up and eating more. Dongxu can manage now, but he might not be able to keep going for long!"

As the older woman began distributing noodles, she said to Yi Zhonghai, "City residency permits are so scarce these days! Changing your residency isn't easy unless Dongxu comes down and gives his job to Huairu."

"But Huai Ru doesn't know how to do fitter work. Even if she replaces Dong Xu, she'll only be an apprentice. It's better for her to be doing what she's doing now!"

"Besides, Dongxu would never let his wife work for him; that would be a loss of face."

Listening to the old woman's nagging, a thought suddenly flashed through Yi Zhonghai's mind.

However, he nipped it in the bud in the bud.

An older woman divided the flour into portions, then took the bags and went to the front yard.

First, they arrived at Yan Bugui's house: "Uncle, my old Yi is confused today and has delayed everyone's time. Here's two jin of flour!"

Yan Bugui's eyes gleamed, but he declined, saying, "She's an old lady. We've lived together in this courtyard for so many years, do you think I don't know Old Yi's character? This was definitely a mistake. I can't take this white flour!"

The old woman naturally knew what kind of person Yan Bugui was, so she insisted that Yan Bugui continue serving the white flour.

After several rounds of refusing, Yan Bugui couldn't persuade the older woman and had to let the third woman put the flour away.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Yue Buqun Prepares to Get into Logistics! (His comments include flower emojis!)

As soon as the older woman left, the Yan siblings immediately surrounded her.

Yan Jiecheng spoke first: "Dad, we should at least make some steamed buns with the flour we got for free to satisfy our cravings!"

Their family eats either sweet potatoes or cornmeal every day; they've almost forgotten what wheat flour tastes like.

"Go away, go to the side!" Yan Bugui waved his hand dismissively at Yan Jiecheng. "Why would you eat white flour? You should be grateful for cornmeal!"

"I'll save these two pounds of flour to make dumplings for the Winter Solstice. In winter, I'll go fishing at the ice hole and get some fish, exchange them with He Yuzhu for some money, buy some meat, and make some meat dumplings!"

Yan Jiecheng and his sister almost drooled while listening.

But looking at the calendar, it's still early!

So the siblings had no choice but to endure it for the time being.

Hearing the commotion outside, Xiao Shan said to Xu Damao, "Brother Mao, an old lady is coming to the backyard to deliver flour soon. Why don't we call it a day?"

“Okay! Let’s drink again later!” Xu Damao nodded.

Watching Xu Damao take his things home, Xiao Shan tidied up the table.

Soon, the older woman arrived at Xiaoshan's doorstep.

Looking at Xiao Shan sitting in the room, the old woman smiled and said, "Xiao Shan, your uncle didn't think things through at the meeting today, so please forgive him! Here, take two jin of flour!"

"Auntie, you're joking. How could an old man take that seriously? Flour is so precious these days. Only an old man like you could afford to produce so much!"

As Xiao Shan spoke, he naturally took the flour from the old woman's hand.

Seeing that Xiao Shan's words and actions were completely different, the old lady didn't know what to say.

After leaving Xiaoshan's house, an older woman came to the deaf old lady's house: "Grandma, I've brought you some flour."

"Why did you suddenly decide to bring flour today?" The deaf old lady tiptoed out of bed, sat down in a chair, and smiled at the middle-aged woman, saying, "I still have some! I haven't finished the ones the neighborhood gave me, you can take them back."

An older woman placed a pound of flour on the deaf old woman's table: "It's all because Old Yi made a mistake. He said that each family in the courtyard would receive two pounds of flour as a subsidy."

Then, the woman recounted what had happened at the hospital-wide meeting that day.

After listening to the old woman's story, the deaf old lady pondered for a moment and then said, "Xiao Yi did a really bad job! The Jia family isn't exactly struggling in the courtyard; at most, they're a little short on food."

"If you two want Dongxu to take care of you in your old age, then treat him well. People will treat each other with kindness!"

"However, Jia Zhangshi is not easy to get along with, and Jia Dongxu is a filial son, so it's really hard to say what will happen in the future!" The deaf old lady said to the middle-aged woman, "Zhuzi is a good boy. If Xiao Yi wants someone to be sincere to him in the future, he should treat Zhuzi well!"

After listening to the deaf old lady's advice, the middle-aged woman nodded: "Grandma, I'll tell Lao Yi when I get back. I'm leaving now."

The deaf old lady sighed as she watched the departing woman leave.

When the woman returned home, Yi Zhonghai was sitting in a chair, drinking alone.

Seeing the middle-aged woman return, Yi Zhonghai asked, "You're back. Have you given away all the flour?"

"Yes!" The middle-aged woman nodded and began to recount the advice given by the deaf old lady.

After listening to what Aunt Gan had relayed, Yi Zhonghai frowned.

He put down his wine glass, sighed, and said, "It's time to consider Zhu Zi! This conference showed us that although Zhu Zi likes to act recklessly, there are advantages to acting recklessly."

The older woman looked at Yi Zhonghai speechlessly; that was not what she meant at all!

However, after opening her mouth, the middle-aged woman just sighed and said nothing.

Because she knew it would be useless to say anything.

The next morning, as soon as Xiao Shan got up, the first thing he did was check the items that had been refreshed in the group shop.

After discovering that he didn't have the items he urgently needed, Xiao Shan turned his attention to the chat interface.

It turned out that Yue Buqun had actually uploaded the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual to the group's shared files.

Furthermore, Xiao Shan discovered that not only is the regular version of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual (The Smiling, Proud Wanderer Edition) free, but the initiation version is also free.

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Sect Leader Yue, amazing! Your Leather Shoes Sword Sect's initiation version is also free!"

Yue Buqun: "Hehe, since it's free anyway, why don't you try practicing it, Group Leader?"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Then let's forget about it! I'm not that eager to improve my strength right now!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Sect Leader Yue, did you go to Fuzhou and find the Lin family's Evil-Repelling Sword Manual?"

Yue Buqun: "Yes, after leaving Liu Zhengfeng's residence, I rescued Lin Zhennan and his wife, who had been captured by Yu Canghai. Then I took them to Fuzhou and found the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual in their old house!"

Ying Zheng: "So Lin Pingzhi should have been captured by Mu Gaofeng by now?"

Yue Buqun: "That should be it!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Sect Leader Yue, if you met Lin Pingzhi now, would you still accept him as your disciple?"

Yue Buqun: "Of course! Now his parents are willing to return to Mount Hua with me and reopen the Fuwei Escort Agency!"

The reason why Lin Zhennan and his wife were willing to work for Yue Buqun was naturally to find a backer for themselves, so as to avoid having their entire family wiped out again like before.

Yue Buqun was willing to take in Lin Zhennan and his wife mainly because he valued the reputation of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

In the world of Swordsman, the main source of funding for various sects is basically collecting protection fees.

Although that's not what they say on the surface, that's what they actually do.

The Shaolin sect is the most notorious among them.

Not only did they collect protection money, but the surrounding land also belonged to the Shaolin Temple, and they didn't have to pay taxes to the government. They were so rich from collecting rent that they couldn't keep their hands full.

Compared to the Shaolin School, the Huashan School has far too little farmland in the surrounding area.

Limited land means a small population, so protection fees are naturally higher.

Yue Buqun had to think of other ways to make money, so he set his sights on the Lin family's Fuwei Escort Agency.

Yue Buqun, who had joined the chat group, naturally knew that if logistics could be developed, it could be extremely profitable!

Ying Zheng: "Judging from this, it seems that Sect Leader Yue is planning to rely on the Fuwei Escort Agency to handle logistics!"

Yue Buqun: "The Huashan Sect's sources of income are too few right now, so I can only try to find ways to expand our funding sources! After all, if we want to strengthen the Huashan Sect, we definitely can't do it without money!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Go, Sect Leader Yue! Strive to realize your wish as soon as possible!"

The world of Swordsman.

Yue Buqun and his group are on their way back to the Huashan Sect.

There were more than a dozen people when they came, but now there are more than twenty people going back.

Chapter Thirty: Taking Lin Pingzhi as an Apprentice! (Please add to your favorites, give flowers, and leave a review!)

Yue Buqun led the Huashan Sect members on horseback, while Tian Boguang and his disciple Yu Canghai were stuffed into a cage placed on a carriage.

Only Lin Zhengnan and his wife, whose bodies were too weak from being tortured by the Qingcheng Sect members, sat in the carriage.

Just as the group was moving forward at a steady pace, a man and a horse suddenly caught up with Yue Buqun and his party from behind.

As the horses approached Yue Buqun and his group, the person sitting in front of them tumbled off the saddle, crying out, "Sect Leader Yue! Help!"

Seeing the sudden obstacle blocking his path, Yue Buqun stopped his horse and shouted, "Stop!"

So the whole group quickly came to a stop.

Yue Buqun looked at the disheveled man who was kowtowing to him repeatedly and asked, "Who are you?"

"Sect Leader Yue, I am Lin Pingzhi from the Fuwei Escort Agency! Please save my parents!" The man blocking the road looked up at Yue Buqun, his face full of pleading.

Lin Pingzhi heard in Hengyang that Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect, had defeated Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sword Sect, which gave him hope for revenge.

So he wanted to find Yue Buqun to seek justice for his family.

But before he could go to the inn to find Yue Buqun, he was captured by Mu Gaofeng.

Having finally escaped from Mu Gaofeng's clutches, Lin Pingzhi learned of Yue Buqun's whereabouts and chased after him.

Before Yue Buqun could speak, Lin Zhennan and his wife rushed out of the carriage and hugged Lin Pingzhi tightly: "Ping'er!"

Seeing his parents suddenly appear in front of him, Lin Pingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears.

The family of three embraced each other and wept bitterly.

After a while, the three of them gradually stopped crying.

The family of three knelt before Yue Buqun, and Lin Zhennan solemnly said to Yue Buqun, "Thank you, Sect Leader, for saving my family of three. I will never forget your great kindness!"
