Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 900: Chapter 651: Interests and Conflicts

At this moment, Longevity Village had already transformed into a different appearance.

What was originally a desolate mountain wilderness now had houses and little courtyards built.

Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi strolled through the village, looking at those courtyards.

"It still looks a bit simple!" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhenshan laughed heartily, "It’s only been a short time, having a place to live is already not bad!"

More than thirty households, that’s more than thirty courtyards, it might not sound like much, but don’t forget there are not many young and strong people here.

There are over thirty young and strong men, more than thirty young women, and the rest are children.

With just this few people, it’s not easy to build such a set of houses in such a short time.

Passing through the village, the two of them arrived at the farmland to the south of the village.

Everyone is now busy cultivating the farmland and digging canals.

Actually, it’s not difficult to cultivate farmland here, as it’s fairly fine soil without too many rocks and debris, one just needs to remove the weeds and turn the soil over.

In comparison, farming on Divine Wood Island is much more challenging. The wasteland on Divine Wood Island is genuinely barren, not only with weeds but also a lot of trees, stones, and various other obstacles.

Here, however, just a few years ago this land was black and fertile. Yang Zhenshan only scattered some grass seeds here.

"Dad, Mother, you’re here!"

Seeing Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi approaching, Yang Mingcheng immediately came over to greet them.

At this moment, Yang Mingcheng looked much like a farmer, wearing shorts and a short shirt, barefoot, with one foot covered in mud, showing no sign of being the master of the Yang family.

Ms. Wang was there too, dressed like a farmwoman.

Initially, Yang Zhenshan was worried she wouldn’t adapt to life here. After all, going from frugality to luxury is easy, but going from luxury to frugality is difficult. Although Ms. Wang was once a farmwoman, for the past twenty or thirty years, she’s been a wealthy woman, so Yang Zhenshan thought she might throw a fit or refuse to stay here.

Unexpectedly, Ms. Wang was quite delighted here, busy as a bee all day long, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.

At the moment, everyone was busy digging canals. A group of young men was digging vigorously with shovels, almost as fast as an excavator.

The young wives weren’t idle either. Except for a few who stayed in the village to look after the kids, all the others were busy building the field boundaries.

"Has the rice seedling cultivation been completed?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

Yang Mingcheng replied, "Yes, it’s completed! Over here, the paddy field will be ready in two more days. Once we’re done with the paddy field, we can start cultivating the tea plantation in the mountains!"

Yang Zhenshan looked at the hillside behind, "Once the tea plantation is ready, give me a shout, I’ll take you to transplant the tea trees!"

There are no tea trees here; they’re all on the hillside near the Spiritual Spring, which is more than forty miles from here. What’s more, you have to cross mountains and ridges; if they rely solely on themselves, it will take a long time to transplant the tea trees over.

However, with Yang Zhenshan’s help, it would be different; he could instantly take people there and back, saving a lot of time.

As for how Yang Mingcheng could contact Yang Zhenshan inside the space, it’s simple, just shout loudly.

If the voice is loud enough, Yang Zhenshan can hear it.

Once inside the space, Yang Zhenshan can see and hear what’s happening outside, and likewise, outside the space, Yang Zhenshan can hear the sounds inside.

However, the sound becomes very faint, and if Yang Zhenshan isn’t attentive, it’s easy to overlook it.

So Yang Mingcheng has to shout loudly.

After getting a brief understanding of the progress in Longevity Village, Yang Zhenshan took Yu Qingyi to the Spiritual Spring Mountain area.

Their focus had to be here because there were many Spiritual Fruit Trees that needed their care, and there was also the Dao Intent Sacred Lotus in the lake.

The Dao Intent Sacred Lotus was the most important treasure in the space, and Yang Zhenshan dared not be careless with it.

Meanwhile, the construction in Longevity Village was not yet complete, and many tasks required Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi to do themselves, such as brewing wine, frying tea, collecting honey, and processing medicinal materials.

Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi were busy inside the space for most of the day before returning to Divine Wood Island.

Just as they stepped out of the study, they heard Qingxia saying that the two Personal Followers who had gone with Li Chang to search for Yang Mingzhao had returned.

"Oh! Did they find him?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

"They’ve gathered some news, they’re waiting in the front courtyard!" Qingxia lowered her head and said softly.

Yang Mingzhao’s news was already known to her, and her heart was in chaos, not knowing what to do!

She had not participated in Yang Mingzhao’s rebellion, but she had provided him with a lot of material and Silver Coin support.

Over the years, Yang Mingzhao borrowed Silver Coin and resources from her every time he returned, practically emptying her savings.

She had not thought about asking for those Silver Coins and resources back; she was alone and actually didn’t need those Silver Coins and resources, nor did she care much about tea leaves or wine.

Only the Spirit Fruit was useful to her, while Yang Mingzhao didn’t need Spirit Fruit at all.

And Yang Mingzhao was someone she watched grow up, almost like her own child, so she never cared for any return when giving things to him.

Yu Qingyi glanced at Qingxia, "What happened, did something happen?"

Qingxia quickly shook her head, "Nothing, Mr. Si is very safe!"

Yu Qingyi sensed something strange; she knew Qingxia’s nature well.

Upon hearing news of Yang Mingzhao, Qingxia should’ve been very happy, yet she wasn’t showing any signs of joy but rather seemed worried.

Seeing Qingxia not explaining, Yu Qingyi frowned slightly and followed Yang Zhenshan to the front courtyard.
