Chapter 340: Revelation "Huai'an, look! This is the grain collected by Crouching Tiger this year!" On a raised stone platform with pine planks laid across it, sacks of grain were being reweighed, repackaged, and sealed before being stacked on both sides. Only a few people stood guard outside the granary. But the inside held more than met the eye. Aside from the laborers, several squads of Border Army soldiers patrolled the area, casting sharp, watchful eyes over both the workers and the…- 619.3 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 341: Wishing We'd Known in Advance Most of the vegetables had already been harvested from the fields. Every family’s courtyard was a sea of green. The Yan Family was getting ready to pickle vegetables, and the village women came over to join in the bustle. Really, they were coming to help, knowing that the second Yan wife was heavily pregnant and couldn’t do any labor. There were so many vegetables that needed to be washed, packed into jars, and moved back and forth. If the family had…

- Chapter 342: Hair Standing on End Yan Lao'er had even more assignments now. While the others were writing essays, composing poetry, or memorizing legal case studies... He was copying books nonstop, one after another. Magistrate Tian had perfectly gauged the speed at which he could copy, wringing every last minute out of his schedule. During the midday break, Yan Lao'er gritted his teeth and went home to cook, still making lunch and delivering it as usual. But the magistrate didn’t see him.…

- Chapter 332 A Good Performance Yan Yu opened her eyes to a night sky dotted with sparse stars and a bright moon. The sound of leaves rustling in the wind and the gentle murmur of running water filled her ears. Because the donkey was hauling an impressively tall stack of bamboo, it moved slowly under the water, prioritizing steadiness over speed. Yan Lao'er was muttering something under his breath, barely audible, with only a few words slipping out now and then. Yan Yu listened carefully for a…

- Chapter 333: Earned by Skill The children gathered around Gouzhu, their eager little eyes clearly saying: We want to pet him! Gouzhu stayed close to Yan Yu, deftly avoiding any small hands reaching out to touch him. "Xiao Er, your dog is amazing. Way better than those puppies sold at the Grand Market." "I bought a trained one. Those little puppies can be taught well too, if trained properly," Yan Yu replied. "My dad says it'll be months before ours is ready to take outside. Yours is a grown…

- Chapter 334 - The Day Before School Starts Yan Yu was right. Yan Lao'er had to leave first thing in the morning. Magistrate Tian had said they'd move in the next day, and official classes would begin the day after. That same day, Yan Lao'er had rushed overnight to Guiyuan Town in Linhai Prefecture. By the time he returned today, it was already dark. There was no time to settle in now, so he would have to leave early tomorrow to avoid missing the start of classes. Once he realized that, it…

- Chapter 335: The Stove It was still dark outside. The Yan Family’s rooster was crowing again, loud and shrill! This little rooster, which had cheated death more than once, made a point to assert its existence every day. As if it sensed constant danger looming ahead, it treated every crow as if it might be its last. It screeched with all its might, straining every feather. Yan Lao'er dragged himself out of the warm bed with great effort, threw on his clothes, and climbed off the kang.…

- Chapter 336: Coming Clean The Government Office provided a charcoal allowance. In an average winter, most people would just light a brazier in the room to keep warm. But someone like Yan Lao'er walking in with a whole stove? That was a first. Once everyone realized it had just been a big misunderstanding, they let out a sigh of relief. The truth was, the Crouching Tiger Government Office was old and in disrepair. If a real fire had broken out, the damage would've been far too great. And…
