“Ow, OW, OW…”

“That’s what you get for not telling me sooner, we’ll see if you dare do it again!”

Lois Abbott’s small face was stern as her fair, delicate hands pinched and twisted the soft flesh of Greg Jensen.

Greg Jensen appeared to wince in pain, but in reality, it didn’t hurt that much. His expression was just to go along with her antics.

“Do you realize your mistake?”

“Ido.”

Greg Jensen chuckled. A girlfriend should be spoiled when it’s time to spoil her, and disciplined when it’s time to discipline.

Occasionally giving in and humoring her was actually a little spice in a couple’s life.

Of course, when playing certain games, the masculine pride must be upheld, and that’s when one must not yield at all.

“You… what are you… mm…”

Lois Abbott was really getting into the pinching when, unexpectedly, a kiss landed on her, and her body immediately softened.

Her hands loosened from pinching to hugging.

“Stop it, there are workers around…”

“I’ll take care of you tonight!”

With a laugh, Greg Jensen playfully scraped her nose and planted another kiss on her forehead.

Lois Abbott nervously glanced outside to make sure no one was coming, and upon seeing that they were alone, she let out a sigh of relief and turned to give him a big eye roll.

The couple stayed in the supermarket for a while, then began to discuss hiring matters.

Once the supermarket was up and running, Greg Jensen couldn’t always be there to supervise, and Lois Abbott would occasionally need to take care of the hotel, so they decided to hire a professional manager.

Especially in terms of finances, it was important to arrange for someone trustworthy.

The talent market in the small county town really didn’t have much to offer; even when it was supposed to be busy on the weekends, the place was still desolate.

After making a full round at the job market with no luck, they could only call Alfred Webb for help.

After many years of working in Riverhaven County, Alfred Webb had a much better network than they did and by the afternoon, he was able to find them an accountant.

The following day, they hired a supermarket manager from out of town.

Now all they were waiting for was to finish the renovations and choose an auspicious day for the grand opening.

Greg Jensen looked at the progressively improving fruit and vegetable market and imagined that soon he could be making a fortune every day. He couldn’t help but smile gleefully.

The villagers of Peach Blossom Village had started earning some money because the medicine and vegetable fields were on the right track, and Lindsey Wolfe along with the village elder, became the most popular figures in the village.

Through this period of interaction, the villagers finally believed that the village elder had truly changed for the better.

People who used to avoid him now not only stopped avoiding him but even greeted him warmly.

The village elder also experienced an unprecedented joy, and his rough features seemed to have softened a great deal.

“Mr. Jensen, you’re back.”

Upon seeing Greg Jensen, the village elder hurried over with a smiling face to greet him.

“Hmm.”

Seeing him like this, Greg Jensen also felt a silent appreciation.

A person’s face really is a reflection of their heart, the old saying does not deceive me!

“How are the medicine fields?”

“All have sprouted, they are all fast-growing varieties, we’ll be ready to harvest in another couple of months.”

Greg Jensen quietly calculated the timeline; by the end of August they would be ready for harvest. According to his estimates, he would earn at least three million.

Three million in two months is definitely not a small figure today, but he was still not satisfied.

Because he only had about two hundred thousand in hand, and also only four “Attraction Technique” elixirs left, meaning for these two months he could only rely on “Dual Cultivation” and “Guidance Technique” to cultivate.

When they returned to the vegetable store, the sky had already darkened.

The store was a mess, with customers’ footprints and various vegetable leaves everywhere. Lindsey Wolfe and Widow Liu were cleaning up.

Seeing Greg Jensen return, Lindsey’s small face immediately turned stern as she said in a heavy tone, “You’ve got the nerve to come back? Where have you been running wild these past two days?”

“Hehe, in the mountains.”

“Didn’t I tell you not to go to the mountains? Why did you go again? It seems like you’re really asking for a spanking!”

While scolding him, Lindsey carefully checked him over from head to toe to make sure Greg was alright, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, she lifted her head, looking suspiciously at Greg, “That’s not right, you said you were in the mountains, so how come your clothes are so clean?”

“Uh, I went home and changed, hehe…”

Greg’s heart skipped a beat, nearly forgetting this detail as he blurted out a lie, then started scratching his head and giggling foolishly.

Widow Liu thoughtfully glanced at Greg and then at his clothes, and said, “Lindsey, what are you doing? Greg can’t tell a lie.”

She intentionally stressed the word “can’t,” as if to remind Lindsey that a simpleton can’t tell lies.

Lindsey thought about it and realized it made sense, but still reproachfully said, “Do you realize that for several days you weren’t at home, and you didn’t think about how worried people would be?”

“Hehe…”

“Lindsey, let it go. He’s a simpleton; what does he know about worry?”

Upon hearing Widow Liu’s words, Lindsey reacted, her eyes reddening as she sighed,

“Greg, I’m sorry, it was my fault. Don’t worry, your auntie will make lots and lots of money to cure your foolishness.”

Greg’s heart was filled with warmth, and his lips quivered as he earnestly said, “Auntie, I…”

It was then that a shout suddenlycame from outside: “It’s bad, Big Liu has been chopped!”

“Big Liu? Where is he?”

“Hurry, let’s go have a look.”

In recent times, Big Liu’s reputation had undergone an incredible turnaround, and now quite a few people were making money thanks to him.

So, upon hearing the news of him being injured, the people in town all rushed over there.

Widow Liu ran to the doorway to have a look, then turned around and said, “Lindsey, it seems that something happened to Big Liu; shall we go have a look too?”

“This…”

Thinking of Big Liu’s past behavior, Lindsey hesitated, but then remembered how much help he had provided for her vegetable field and felt a bit ashamed.

After hestitating for a while, she finally nodded, “Let’s go, we’ll also go have a look, and bring Greg with us.”

“Hey, where’s Greg?”

Both of them looked up just to find that Greg was nowhere to be seen.

Lindsey didn’t think much of it and forced a smile, “He must have got scared by me and ran back home. Let’s go and give Big Liu a look.”

“Hmm.”

The two of them closed the store and followed the town’s people in another direction.

Meanwhile, Greg had already arrived at Big Liu’s house.

Big Liu’s shoulder and back had been stabbed several times, and half of his body was dyed red with blood.

However, none of these stabs were the most deadly.

The most life-threatening was a stab to the abdomen, with blood flowing out like a gushing fountain.

Two of his subordinates were in a panic, wanting to take him to the town’s clinic, but the clinic plainly refused to admit him, and coincidentally the only ambulance the clinic had was out on a call.

“Lay him flat, don’t move him around, get someone to drive the car to the door, ready to take him to the hospital.”

“Alright.”

These two men were trusted aides, aware of the high regard Big Liu had for Greg, hence they didn’t hesitate to carry out his orders.
