The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 168 Weird things
Forged official seal?
The Lin family was stunned. The village chief was the first to react and hurriedly cried out that he was innocent.

"I'm innocent! I wouldn't dare forge an official seal even if I had ten lives!" He pointed at Shang Wan. "It was her, it must have been her! Please investigate, officer!"

“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. The house deeds and land deeds belong to my family. Why would I forge official seals?” Shang Wan pouted. “We are law-abiding citizens, unlike you. You’ve become arrogant after being the village chief for a few years and even dare to forge official seals.”

She looked at Shan Dajun and said, "Officer, we must not encourage this kind of unhealthy trend."

Dan Dajun nodded, thinking to himself that Village Chief Lin was foolish. He didn't even know how to make a complete forged official seal, and he even wrote the characters wrong, yet he still tried to fool him.

If he truly didn't discover it, wouldn't he become an accomplice?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a chill, and his hatred for the Lin family intensified. With a wave of his hand, no matter how much the Lin family members cried and begged, they were all tied up by the officials and taken away.

The villagers were dumbfounded.

How dare the village chief be so audacious? Forging official seals is a capital offense!

Arresting the man wasn't enough; Shan Dajun led his men to search the Lin family's house. In a hole in the wall of the village chief's bedroom, they found the forged official seal made of stone, still stained with red ink. Also found were 150 taels of silver.

Upon seeing the silver, Chen Guifang's mouth dropped open in surprise. How could her family still have silver?

Many villagers came to watch the spectacle, and they were all puzzled as to how the Lin family could be so rich when they saw so much silver.

He neither does business nor relies on any skills, and he just lost more than a hundred taels of silver to the scholar's family a few days ago. How come he still has so much?
We all toil in the fields for a living, so why is there such a big difference between us?

Shang Wan looked at the silver, a cold smile flashing in her eyes.

He met Lin Jianshui's gaze in the blink of an eye, gave a barely perceptible nod, and then looked away to examine the forged official seal.

To be honest, my fox's cooking skills are pretty good.

"The evidence is right here." Shan Dajun glanced coldly at Village Chief Lin, the unspoken message being, "Let's see how you try to deny it."

The fake official seal was wrapped in red cloth, which made Village Chief Lin's eyes widen and his mind go blank.

How could that be? How could my family have an official seal?
He glanced at Shang Wan instinctively, not missing the cold smile on her lips.

"It was you! You forged the official seal! You framed me!"

His eyes were filled with venomous resentment; if he hadn't been bound by ropes, he probably would have pounced on Shang Wan and taken her down with him.

Shang Wan blinked innocently, then gave him a sly smile that was sure to infuriate him.

In the eyes of Village Chief Lin, that smile meant acknowledgment.

His eyes widened in fury, his cheeks flushed red, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood in anger.

"You... must not... die!"

He forced himself to finish saying those words, then tilted his head and fainted.

"Father!" Lin Jianshan hurriedly shook him, his face no longer showing any of the smugness he had shown before.

The crowd couldn't understand why this person was so angry.

If anyone should be angry, it should be the scholar's wife. She's been constantly being attacked, and it's only because she has a good temper that she's doing this; anyone else would have yelled back long ago.

Dan Dajun glanced at Shang Wan secretly, sensing that something was amiss.

The village chief's reaction didn't seem like he was trying to frame someone after failing to forge evidence; it was more like he was framed by someone else.

However, the house deeds and land deeds were indeed produced by Village Chief Lin himself, and the forged official seal was also found in the Lin family's possession, so they should not be fake.

After some deliberation, he suppressed his suspicion and ordered his men to take the person away with him.

"Boss, what should we do with this child?"

Dan Dajun glanced at the boy who was crying while holding Zhou Shi, and waved his hand, saying, "Take him away as well, and await your judgment, sir."

Seeing that Tie Dan's hands were also tied, Chen Guifang felt relieved but also thought of the missing Er Ya, wondering if she would ever see her again in this lifetime.

Overwhelmed with grief, tears streamed down her face. Her crying caused Zhou to start crying as well, and Old Lady Wei and Liu Yuzhi, who were unjustly implicated, also embraced and wept.

After not seeing her for quite some time, Shang Wan noticed that Liu Yuzhi seemed to have gained some weight.

The villagers dared not plead for leniency; forging an official seal was no ordinary matter, and they couldn't get involved in something that could cost them their lives.

"Shut up if you cry again!" Shan Dajun's face was no longer kind; his fierce expression and menacing gaze frightened the women into stopping their crying.

The farce ended with all the troublemakers being taken away by the officials.

Unable to persuade the guests to stay, Shang Wan asked Xiao Huan to pack two large food boxes for Shan Dajun and his party to take back and eat.

These two food boxes were brought by Qiao Yu'an. They were originally filled with snacks, but now they come in handy.

Such thoughtfulness made Shan Dajun feel embarrassed.

He ruined today's housewarming party, but people not only didn't blame him, but also considered that it wasn't easy for him and his brothers to make the trip, so they filled two food boxes to the brim.

Moved by his words, he planned to go back and give the Lu family a piece of his mind in front of the county magistrate.

After the officials left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The housewarming party has officially begun!
Delicious dishes are served, glasses are clinked, and the atmosphere is joyous and lively.

At the same time, Shan Dajun and his group encountered a strange incident.

Hundreds of birds suddenly started defecating on the heads of Steward Liu and the Lin family, with special attention paid to Steward Liu and the middle-aged man.

A foul stench filled the air.

Dan Dajun hurriedly protected the food box, but unexpectedly, the bird droppings didn't land on him. To be precise, the birds' target wasn't the officials, but the man who was tied up with ropes.

Bird droppings fell like rain. Manager Liu looked up, about to shout to scare the birds away, but almost swallowed the droppings. He was so frightened that he quickly buried his head, letting the droppings hit his head and body.

The crowd cursed and yelled, but they were tied to the car with ropes and had no way to escape.

The constables had never seen anything like this before.
While moving away from the area affected by bird droppings, he asked Shan Dajun, "Boss, what should we do? Should we chase them away?"

After a moment's thought, Shan Dajun waved his hand and said, "Getting hit by bird droppings won't kill me, I'm not going to bother."

"But I've heard that getting hit by bird droppings is bad luck."

"Who cares? We're not the ones who're going to suffer."

·
The housewarming party was a lively affair, but cleaning up afterwards was a real headache.

The guests dusted themselves off and left, leaving a mess behind.

Shang Wan politely declined her aunts' help, saying that everyone was tired after a long day and they should go home and rest early.

The moon climbed to the treetops, its gentle light spilling into the courtyard.

The family barely finished their work and then lay down in the yard, not wanting to move.

Lu Chengjing offered his arm as a pillow to Shang Wan, but Shang Wan found it uncomfortable and beckoned Xiao Hui over to lean against it.

Skinny arms are nowhere near as comfortable to lean on as hairy ones.
Lu Chengjing, who was being disliked: "..."

Stone put his hands behind his head, looked at the moon, and sighed, "So tired!"

Xiao Huan replied weakly, "Tired!"

Shang Wan: "My back aches and I'm not doing this anymore."

Lu Chengjing: "Hmm."

Chu Xu and Yuan Yuan whispered to each other, the two little ones giggling at each other.

Shang Wan reached out and pulled Yuanyuan over to give her a couple of squeezes, then asked Chu Xu, who had come closer, "So, tell me, what naughty thing did you do?"
