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

Chapter 52 makes us seem like we fit in.

Lin Jianshan hurriedly ran to the Yuan family to tell his family about the matter.

Upon hearing that Tiedan was missing, Liu, who had just woken up, suddenly became strong again as if she had a sudden burst of energy before death. She hurriedly pulled her two daughters-in-law out to look for the child, even neglecting her own husband.

Village Chief Lin was also anxious. Ignoring Yuan Musheng's advice, he ran out to find someone, his injured arm in a sling.

Although Madam Rong disliked the Lin family, upon hearing that her child was missing, she put down her work, instructed her two children to stay with Yuan Musheng, and ran out to help search for him.

News travels fast in the village. When people heard that Tiedan was missing, everyone sent people out to help look for the child. For a while, the village was filled with the sound of people calling "Tiedan".

"Tiedan! Time to come home for dinner!"

"Tie Dan, come out here quickly, or your dad will beat you!"

"Tiedan!! Answer me right away if you hear me!"

"Iron Egg!!!"

Stone called out a few times, but when he still couldn't find anyone, he hurriedly ran back to tell his family what had happened.

"Sister, let's help look for him too." Stone disliked the Lin family, but what the adults did had nothing to do with the children. Many of the holes on the ground hadn't been filled yet, and he was worried that Tiedan might have rolled in.

"No need to look." Shang Wan glanced at the distant mountains and forests. "Tiedan is in the wolf den, and Xiao Hui is guarding it."

Stone was astonished, "How did Tie Dan end up in the wolf's den?"

After asking, he realized something was off and pressed further, "Sis, how did you know?"

"The Lin family deliberately led the villagers to the old elm tree, using the argument to buy time, so that Tiedan could come to our house to bury the silver."

Shang Wan looked at Shi Tou and told him the whole story.

“If it weren’t for Xiao Hui, Lin Jianshan would have dug up silver from the ground, and we would have been accused of stealing silver. Lin Jianshan has your brother-in-law’s jade pendant, and this blame will definitely fall on him in the end. At that time, he will lose his scholar’s ​​degree, and your brother-in-law is crippled. What if he goes to extremes and gets stuck in a rut?”

"Yes, yes..." Stone opened and closed his mouth several times before uttering the last word, "to commit suicide."

Shang Wan didn't think Lu Chengjing would commit suicide. Even if he did, he would probably take a few people down with him.

Stone clenched his fists angrily, "My brother-in-law has never had any grudges with the Lin family, so why would they want to kill him?"

"Use your brain." Shang Wan raised her hand and slapped Shi Tou's forehead. "Think carefully, is it really the Lin family who wants to harm your brother-in-law?"

That slap really hurt; Shi Tou's forehead turned bright red. As he rubbed it, he suddenly realized the key point: "Why is my brother-in-law's jade pendant in the Lin family's house?"

Lu Chengjing's jade pendant disappeared in prison. If it were for money, it could have been taken by a yamen runner. But now that the jade pendant has appeared in the Lin family as evidence to frame Lu Chengjing, it is clear that the person who took the jade pendant was not after money. But who has the ability to reach into prison?
The person behind this went to such lengths to deal with Lu Chengjing, clearly indicating a grudge between them. However, in Shi Tou's memory, although Lu Chengjing was somewhat aloof, he was tactful and had never made enemies with anyone.

Shi Tou racked his brains but still couldn't figure out who was behind Lu Chengjing's attacks, so he looked to Shang Wan for help, "Sister, I really can't figure it out, just tell me who it is."

"If I knew, what would I need you to do?" Shang Wan shrugged, her tone utterly self-righteous.

Stone:"……"

No, wasn't his sister testing him? Why didn't she know? Was she just teasing him?

Shi Tou's blank expression amused Shang Wan once again. She patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "Remember to use your brain. If you can't figure it out this time, try again next time."

Stone: Let's not let this happen again!

He shook his head and brought the topic back, "Sister, everyone in the village is sending people to help look for someone, let's join in and make it seem like we're part of the group." "No rush, didn't you already help look for someone?" Shang Wan stretched, "Go help Xiao Huan set the table, I'll come over after I finish moving the rest of the wood."

"it is good."

Xiao Huan cooked four dishes and a soup. The rice was cooked with sweet potatoes, giving it a sweet and fragrant flavor.

Shang Wan picked out the sweet potatoes, let them cool, and fed them to the little guy who was eagerly waiting.

Yuanyuan loves the sweet taste of sweet potatoes, so much so that she won't even eat steamed eggs anymore, she'll just eat sweet potatoes.

"Are you almost out of rice and flour at home?"

Hearing Shang Wan's question, Xiao Huan swallowed the food in her mouth before replying, "We can still cook two meals, sister. Should we buy it in the village or go to the county town?"

"Go to the county town and check out the situation there."

As Shang Wan spoke, she placed a piece of stir-fried pork into Lu Chengjing's bowl.

“Many houses in the village were damaged by the disaster, so the task of repairing them will likely fall to the Zhang family. They will definitely be too busy. We can’t delay building our new house either. I’m thinking of going to the city to find a bricklayer. If the wages are right, I’ll hire him to build our new house.”

Shi Tou couldn't help but mutter, "Sister, we haven't even raised enough money yet, isn't it too early to be thinking about building a new house?"

Shang Wan didn't take it seriously, "Won't everything be settled once the Lin family sends the money?"

"That's only eighty taels."

Xiao Huan reminded Shi Tou, "There's also the Chen family's fifty taels, making a total of one hundred and thirty taels."

"No, it's one hundred and sixty taels." Shang Wan corrected. Since the Lin family planned to bury the silver on her territory, then she wouldn't be surprised if she accepted it.

Xiao Huan was unaware that Tie Dan was planning to plant silver in their house to frame them. Shi Tou briefly explained the situation to her, which angered Xiao Huan so much that she cursed the Lin family for raising such a bad child.

After finishing his food, Lu Chengjing put down his chopsticks and calmly added, "It's two hundred taels. If the jade pendant is sent to a pawnshop, it can be pawned for at least forty taels."

The four exchanged glances, and Shi Tou couldn't help but laugh out loud. Xiao Huan happily clutched her chest, Shang Wan was amused by their exaggerated expressions, and Lu Chengjing's lips also curved into a smile.

Little Yuanyuan, engrossed in eating sweet potatoes, smacked her lips. Although she didn't understand what everyone was laughing at, it didn't stop her from grinning and joining in.

While one family was happily enjoying their future life together, the Lin family on the other side was shrouded in gloom, their voices hoarse from shouting so hard to find someone.

"Brother, what exactly did you send Tiedan to do? At this point, you shouldn't keep it a secret!" Lin Jianshui knew that Lin Jianshan had instructed Tiedan to do something, but he didn't know the specifics.

Lin Jianshan glanced at his father, the village chief, whose face was very unpleasant. He was anxious because his grandson was missing, and he was also in pain because of the injury on his arm.

"Father, what if Tiedan...?"

“We’ll talk about it when we get back.” Village Chief Lin interrupted his eldest son, glanced at the villagers who were still helping to search for people, and lowered his voice, “This is not the place to talk.”

Liu said urgently, "Husband, we haven't found Tiedan yet, we can't go back!"

“Yes, Father,” Zhou Shi echoed, “Can’t we wait until we find Tiedan before we talk about anything else?”

In the past, Zhou would not have dared to contradict Village Chief Lin like this, but now that her son is lost, she is so anxious that she can't care about anything else. She is afraid that Tiedan will meet with misfortune and die young like Daya. What difference would that be from ripping out her heart?
Village Chief Lin glared at the two of them. "Shut up, both of you. The second son's wife, you stay here and keep looking. The rest of you come back with me."
