She becomes a scripted world, and saves others by watching the comments section.

Chapter 94 Who is the real beneficiary of Anjia Village's success?

"So what if we don't follow the righteous path?" Huangfu Qian frowned, his gaze turning serious.

"Pay with human lives, then," Xia Mo said with a mocking smile, her pink lips parting as she uttered a name: "Master Jia."

A murderous glint flashed in Huangfu Qianying's eyes.

"How can we use human lives to fill the gap?" Huangfu Qian pushed two small boxes of jade in front of Xia Mo.

Xia Mo was as happy as a fish that had stolen some fish, a satisfied smile playing on her lips, and decided to talk to Huangfu Qian more.

She licked her lips like a cat and said, "First is fate, second is luck, third is feng shui, fourth is accumulating good deeds, fifth is studying, sixth is choosing a career, seventh is choosing a spouse, eighth is associating with noble people, and ninth is maintaining health. Hmm, what if luck is taken away? Can this person still live?"

Xia Mo rested her chin on her hands and looked at Huangfu Qian with a grin.

It's clear that Huangfu Qian has a broad perspective, but she only cares about her family and herself. What do other people's lives or deaths have to do with her?

Huangfu Qian frowned slightly, staring at Xia Mo in deep thought.

At the end of summer, he let Huangfu Qiannian do as he pleased, and then, in front of Huangfu Qiannian, he put the two small boxes of jade into his soul space.

She didn't leave; she still had things to do.

Xia Mo extended her divine sense to check on the situation in Anjia Village and her home. She confirmed that everyone in her family was asleep and the village was peaceful, so she felt at ease spending her time with Huangfu Qian.

Let's see who speaks first.

This went on for a full half hour.

Huangfu Qian: "..."

Huangfu Qian asked, "Is there anything else?"

“Here,” Xia Mo slapped the invitation that Aunt Ma had delivered to the house onto the table, gesturing for Huangfu Qian to see it for himself.

Huangfu Qian glanced at the invitation and said, "I don't need it."

"Pah," Xia Mo rolled her eyes in disgust and said, "This is Wei Zhishu and Ma Yiyi's engagement banquet in Anping County, understand?"

Xia Mo emphasized the word "understand" at the end of the sentence.

What do you want me to do?

A fleeting smile, unnoticed by Huangfu Qian, flashed across his hawk-like eyes, though his expression remained serious.

“You don’t need to do anything. Just attend their engagement banquet tomorrow. As long as you sit there, Wei Zhishu will have to obediently comply,” Xia Mo said.

Huangfu Qian didn't quite understand Xia Mo, but he still nodded.

“If you do this, I’ll give you a name of someone who owns a live-streaming system, and I can even take you to that person,” Xia Mo said with a smile, waving her hand before jumping off the table and leaving.

As summer ended, Huangfu Qian felt heavy-hearted and couldn't get up from his table.

Jiang Feng entered the study, clasped his hands in greeting to Huangfu Qian, and said with a puzzled expression, "Master, I saw Master Xia and Miss Xia in the city today..."

"Before my subordinates left Anping County, they sent someone to scout ahead. They should still be in Anjia Village, but..."

Jiang Feng became more and more excited as he spoke, and his words even became somewhat erratic.

Huangfu Qian raised his hand.

Jiang Feng immediately shut up and didn't say anything more, but looked at Huangfu Qian.

Huangfu Qian tapped the table lightly with his fingers and replied, "I said, once you leave this room, don't tell anyone."

Jiang Feng nodded vigorously.

Huangfu Qian first checked if anyone was watching him, then wrote two words on the paper.

Jiang Feng stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Huangfu Qian casually tossed the paper into the candle flame and burned it to ashes.

Jiang Feng solemnly clasped his hands in greeting to Huangfu Qian, his heart still pounding with intense emotions, a complex mix of feelings churning within him.

Early the next morning—

The entire village of Anjia received a notice from the Ma family, instructing everyone to attend a banquet at the Wei family's residence in Anping County.

The people of Anjia Village were shocked and in an uproar when they learned that Ma Yiyi was going to marry a very powerful figure from the capital!

"Yiyi has really risen to a higher social status!"

"If I had known the Ma family had such a great opportunity, I should have associated with them more! Now that I know, it's just adding fuel to the fire, and it'll only make people think I'm sucking up! Sigh..."

"Oh my god, I'm Yiyi's best friend! Yiyi married a nobleman in the capital. Could I also marry that scholar through her?!"

"..."

The commotion in the village made the Xia family's home seem exceptionally peaceful.

The lunch was a midday feast, and the people of Anjia Village had already started preparing.

"The Xia family..."

Shouts rang out outside the Xia family's courtyard; it was the excited voice of the neighbor aunt.

Xia's mother replied, "Yes, I'm here."

The neighbor aunt looked Xia's mother up and down for a while before saying, "Aren't you going to participate?"

Xia's mother was still wearing an oil-proof linen apron, and her hair was unkempt, so she didn't look like she was going to attend a gathering.

Xia's mother understood, her face immediately darkened, she glanced at the neighbor aunt and turned to go back.

Xia Mo said that the real key person is Ma Yiyi, and their family just needs to stay at home.

The neighbor lady, as if she had heard the latest gossip, excitedly went to discuss it with others.

"Have you heard? The Ma family invited everyone in the village, but they left out the Xia family. Remember how good the Xia and Ma families used to be? Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Now the Ma family has risen to prominence, while the Xia family is still stuck in the village, tsk tsk tsk..."

Xia Mo hopped out of the house and said, "Where's Dad? I need to talk to you about something."

Xia's father also came out of the house. There were ink spots on his face, which he had gotten on while writing.

When Xia's father came out, Xia's elder brother followed him out.

"What's wrong with Nannan?" Xia's father asked.

Xia Mo suggested, "Dad, shall we start building our wall today?"

Xia's father frowned, instantly understanding Xia Mo's intention.

If the Xia family starts building the wall today, they will have to recruit workers in the village, which means that a group of people will be unable to attend the engagement banquet in Anping County.

"Let them go and have a free meal first, and start repairs tomorrow?" Xia's father suggested.

Xia's father felt that it was a rare opportunity to get a free meal, and it would be a waste for the villagers not to go.

As summer drew to a close, she pouted and turned her face away.

Xia's father immediately said, "Alright, I'll go and talk to your Uncle Gao right away."

Xia Mo immediately smiled.

Gao Lizheng couldn't understand why Xia's father would do this. Wasn't he afraid that the villagers would resent their family because of this?!

Although Gao Lizheng couldn't understand Xia's father's intentions, since Xia's father had brought it up, he would just ask the people he had already found.

Regarding the construction of the Xia family's courtyard wall, of the eight people who had been invited, seven chose to stay in the village to prepare for the start of the project, while only one person chose to attend Ma Yiyi's engagement banquet first, unaware that he had already been rejected.

Gao Lizheng looked at Boss Gao and murmured, "Boss, if you were one of those eight people, what would you choose?"

“The Ma family’s daughter is marrying a powerful figure in the capital and will be going far away to the capital. If something happens to her, it’s something from the past and has little to do with us. Now, it’s the Xia family that can bring us benefits,” Gao’s eldest brother said, hitting the nail on the head.

Gao Lizheng was suddenly jolted, realizing what was happening!

When Xia's father went to Gao Lizheng's house to discuss this matter, he didn't understand. But when he returned home and his elder brother explained it to him, Xia's father finally understood.

Xia Mo's actions were simply intended to make the people of Anjia Village understand who truly brings benefits to the village and who they should value more.

Clearly, Gao Laoda wasn't the only one who understood.

The nine people who decided to partner with Xia's father in the braised food business decided to prevent their families from going as well.
