Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a heavy snow quietly fell, covering the entire Shuangshu Village with a layer of silver gauze.

At Ye Chen's call, everyone got up early and ate dumplings and set off firecrackers according to custom!

The sound of firecrackers brought the joy of the Chinese New Year.

To make it more lively, Ye Chen even invited the entire Tian family over, including Tian Xiaohui's younger brother, who simply moved into Ye Chen's house.

Since being tricked last time, many matchmakers have come to the Tian family to propose marriage. With the money given by Ye Chen, the Tian family renovated their courtyard and transformed into a highly sought-after family in the eyes of others.

Tian Jianzhong finally found his soulmate. At the dinner table, he led his girlfriend to toast Ye Chen and expressed his gratitude.

"Brother-in-law, if it weren't for you this time, how could my Tian family be so glorious?"

"Now, everyone in the village speaks highly of the Tian family, and that's all thanks to you!"

Previously, in order to support the Tian family in building a house, Ye Chen directly took out five thousand yuan. Tian Zhenguo generously renovated the old house and built three more brick and tile houses!

The once empty courtyard became completely lively, the Tian family's appearance changed dramatically, and the attitudes of others naturally improved a lot!

"I've given up alcohol, so I'll drink tea instead. No need for thanks; we're all family. As long as Xiaohui is happy, it's only right that I do more!"

Ye Chen spoke first, and then began to inquire about Tian Jianzhong's job. He was a teacher in the county town, and he had heard that Tian was a favorite of the principal.

"Sigh!" But this time, when faced with Ye Chen's question, Tian Jianzhong shook his head and couldn't help but speak.

"Just thinking about work makes me angry. If my father hadn't kept telling me to quit, I would have quit on my own!"

"Brother-in-law, as you know, I was always a temporary worker at the school. I finally got a chance to become a full-time employee at the end of the year, and the principal had already promised me a spot."

"In the end, the vice principal's son suddenly appeared and snatched the spot for a permanent position. Not only that, the vice principal has targeted me more than once. I've had enough of this!"

Tian Jianzhong said indignantly, getting angrier the more he talked.

Ye Chen frowned slightly and began to inquire about Tian Jianzhong's abilities.

As a math teacher, Tian Jianzhong has an exceptional sensitivity to numbers and has even taught himself foreign languages, demonstrating remarkable abilities.

Seeing that Tian Jianzhong was indeed a talented person, Ye Chen immediately had an idea.

After the New Year, my business will get back on track, but unfortunately I have too few people I can use.

Qian Jiali has a talent for medicinal herbs and is an expert in identifying them, but she is not omnipotent except for this skill.

When partnering with others, the biggest issue is accounting. Ye Chen was always uneasy if he didn't find someone he knew to manage the inflow and outflow of accounts at the medicinal herb market.

Right now, Tian Jianzhong happens to be an expert in this field. If he can pass the accounting exam, he will definitely be the best candidate to manage finances, given the relationship between the two parties!

"Jianzhong, since you're interested in leaving, that's perfect, I'd like to discuss something with you!"

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Chen told Tian Jianzhong his thoughts truthfully. Upon hearing this, Tian Jianzhong's face lit up with joy.

"Brother-in-law, you should have said so earlier! I do have an accounting certificate. I used to do all the school's accounts, and that's why the principal was so impressed with me!"

"I can manage the entire school's accounts, let alone a small medicinal herb market. We're family, so just trust me and you can rest assured."

"I will make sure the accounts are handled perfectly for you, so that even if an outsider comes, they won't be able to find a single fault!"

The two hit it off immediately, and Ye Chen nodded repeatedly in agreement.

In front of everyone, Ye Chen made the promise directly.

"Then it's settled! After the New Year, the medicinal herb market will start construction, and you'll be working for me then!"

"As you know, my career is just beginning. As long as you work hard, there will be plenty of opportunities!"

"You only get a little over 30 yuan a month at school, which is a real waste of your talent. When you come with me, I'll give you 100 yuan a month, plus bonuses!"

In the 80s, a monthly salary of 100 was considered an extremely high income. Moreover, according to Ye Chen, there was also a commission every month. As long as you did a good job, your salary might double!

Tian Jianzhong immediately beamed with joy and even winked at his sister, Tian Xiaohui.

"Sis, I have to say you had the best taste. You found your husband back then, and now I'm basking in the glory!"

"Stop nagging. You'd better work hard with your brother-in-law and stop slacking off all the time!" Tian Xiaohui playfully tugged her brother's ear before finally warning him.

"If you don't work hard, your brother-in-law might not have the nerve to punish you, but I certainly will!"

The older sister has always been the younger brother's nemesis. Tian Jianzhong immediately shrank back at Tian Xiaohui's words.

"Sis, look at what you're saying! I'll definitely work hard with my brother-in-law. With such a high salary, only a fool would slack off!"

Tian Xiaohui nodded, then looked to the side. Sitting next to Tian Jianzhong was the wife the matchmaker had arranged for him, named Chen Hui.

Chen Hui is introverted and has an average appearance. When her family gathers together to chat, she keeps her head down and doesn't say a word.

As the older sister, Tian Xiaohui quickly tried to liven up the atmosphere and started chatting with Chen Hui.

After some conversation, the two became much more familiar with each other.

"Where are the Tian family members? Get your asses out here! You stole my wife! It's Chinese New Year today, if you don't give me an explanation, I'm not finished with you!"

Just as the family was enjoying a happy time together, a roar suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

Such a commotion caused everyone present to frown slightly.

"What's going on?" Ye Chen stood up, his brows furrowed, and turned to look at Chen Hui.

Chen Hui shuddered, her expression clearly unnatural.

Tian Jianzhong, standing to the side, clenched his fists, his face showing a hint of anger.

"It's that bastard again! He's been bothering Chen Hui every day, it's never going to end!"

"What exactly happened? Tell me first!" Ye Chen pressed.

Only then did Tian Jianzhong tell the truth and explain the specific situation.

It turned out that Chen Hui came from an ordinary family. When she reached marriageable age, her parents were extremely anxious and asked matchmakers to arrange marriages for her everywhere. Before meeting Tian Jianzhong, she had met many other people.

Among them was a man named Wang Hu, a local hoodlum who drove for a leader in the county town and whose family was quite powerful.

After meeting Chen Hui, he kept pestering her, and no matter how Chen Hui refused, Wang Hu was unwilling to give up!

Upon learning that Chen Hui and Tian Jianzhong had gotten together, she caused trouble more than once, even going to Tian's house to cause a scene several times. This time, however, she went even further.

During the Lunar New Year, they've actually caused trouble in the neighboring village and even made such arrogant remarks!

"Brother-in-law, don't worry about it. I'm going out to settle accounts with Wang Hu right now. I'll make him pay today!"
