Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Enthusiastic Liu Family Members

Sitting in the Liu Family’s courtyard, Ji Yang looked around. This household was considered the best in the village.

"You may see that it’s well developed now, but our family was very poor in the village before. It was only after I became Fan Guohai’s wife that I started to develop it."

Ji Yang nodded slightly. Now that Liu Qiushui had become Fan Guohai’s woman, it was natural for her to help out her family.

Seeing the happy faces of the whole family, Ji Yang knew it was all achieved after Liu Qiushui’s sacrifices.

Liu Qiushui’s older brother was a disabled man, whom Ji Yang knew had broken his leg. His wife was a very capable woman, busy with various tasks.

There were also several children curiously watching Ji Yang and their arrival.

Liu Qiushui’s parents both had that simple farmer look.

Ji Yang had thought that once they knew about Fan Guohai’s accident, the family would worry, but unexpectedly, Liu Qiushui’s usually expressionless father seemed very happy.

"It’s been hard on you!" cried Liu Qiushui’s mother at that time.

Liu Qiushui’s older brother asked, "Did you get the divorce?"

"Done."

"Good, good. It’s all my fault."

"How could it be your fault? I’m the burden on the family."

The family had barely recovered from a sad atmosphere.

At that moment, Liu Qiushui’s father walked up to Ji Yang and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Secretary Ji."

Ji Yang quickly helped him up, saying, "You need not do this."

"I know my child’s heart aches. If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have known what could have happened; you practically saved her!"

Ji Yang smiled and said, "Everything has passed, and it will get better."

Regarding the Liu Family’s situation, Ji Yang didn’t say much. To say they were suffering, compared to other families in the village, they were quite well off, aside from Liu Qiushui being forced to be Fan Guohai’s woman. Their family had actually received many benefits.

Liu Qiushui, who was a perceptive person, looked at Ji Yang and said, "Secretary Ji, this matter is really complicated."

"Just live your days well from now on."

Along the way, Gao Changjun had hunted a few wild chickens, which were now being prepared by Liu Qiushui and a few other women.

Liu Qiushui’s older brother, Liu Shuigen, quickly struck up a conversation with Ji Yang.

He was someone who had seen the outside world and could engage in exchanges with Ji Yang.

When he heard the inquiry about the Tongtian Grand Canyon, Liu Shuigen became excited and introduced much about it.

"Secretary Ji, not to boast, but our Tongtian Grand Canyon is extraordinary. I’ve also seen that famous waterfall, but it’s just famous, incomparable to ours. If you have the energy to climb from the mountain base to the top, the journey is filled with too many beautiful sights. It’s a pity the transportation isn’t great. If transportation were not an issue, this could become a nationally famous scenic spot."

"Is it really that good?"

"It’s really good," chimed in several children.

They were no longer afraid of Ji Yang, and each vied to describe the place.

The more Ji Yang listened, the more he felt that this was a place worth developing. If developed well, it could indeed become a major tourist attraction.

"It’s a pity I can’t climb mountains; otherwise, I would go with you to see it," sighed Liu Shuigen.

"Can your leg still be treated?"

"I don’t know; let it be."

Ji Yang, not knowing much about medicine, didn’t inquire further. However, he thought to himself that he might arrange medical treatment for him if possible.

"Secretary Ji, today we’re having hotpot, which I learned to make from the outside and taught them. All the spices we use are grown by us. This is the authentic taste of the mountains; I guarantee you’ll want more after you try it."

Ji Yang smiled and said, "That sounds great. I’m curious about your unique flavors."

At this time, several officials from the village arrived.

After seeing Ji Yang, they all appeared quite reverent.

Looking at them, Ji Yang knew they were people from Fan Guohai’s faction. Although they followed Fan Guohai’s orders, they hadn’t done anything excessive and hadn’t been implicated in this examination.

Ji Yang spoke for a while, then looked at the crowd and said, "From this incident, you should have learned a lesson as well; many things should not be done. If you do them, you must be prepared to face the consequences."

"Secretary Ji, rest assured, we wouldn’t dare," said the village Party Secretary, Liu Dafu.

"Yeah, we wouldn’t dare." Everyone was scared by the incident; they knew of several village officials who had been jailed.

"Alright, tomorrow I want to visit the Tongtian Grand Canyon; you all will come with me."

Everyone was delighted, as this indicated that Ji Yang didn’t intend to pursue them further, which was good news for them.

In a moment, the whole atmosphere lightened up, everyone enjoying the meal while chatting about things in the village.
