The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 990 - 959: Tourism, Divine Dragon Temple

Everyone was listening intently, finding it particularly interesting.

Specially Qi Xiaoyan, who said excitedly, "Keep going, Daniu!"

Qi Daniu laughed, "This time it was Accountant Qi who personally sent the people away. Later, I heard my mom say that Li Mingkai’s family were no good either. When they failed to take the child, they asked for a divorce, and even demanded money, truly shameless. Accountant Qi isn’t someone to mess with either; he has a daughter in the county city. He quickly arranged a divorce, didn’t give Li Mingkai a single penny, and Li Mingkai also had to pay child support. This support wasn’t even a fixed amount, it would increase as the cost of living rose. Li Mingkai objected, but Accountant Qi is ruthless; he secretly found a few jobless drifters in the county city and had them corner Li Mingkai and his family, beating them up badly. Li Mingkai and his family left with their tails between their legs."

"Served them right!" He Tiantian said with satisfaction. Before, when Li Mingkai and Lin Xiaoru, this pair of shameless man and woman, did that thing to Huang Jingli in Nan City.

Now looking at it, truly, scoundrels need to be ground down by other scoundrels.

Her voice was a bit loud, and everyone turned their gaze toward He Tiantian.

"Haha, just venting some anger," He Tiantian laughed, "It’s nothing, nothing..."

"Sister Tiantian, if you knew who Li Mingkai’s mistress was, you’d think the beating was even more deserved!" Qi Daniu said with a smile, waiting for everyone to urge her to continue with the story.

"I can guess," He Tiantian sneered. "It’s Lin Xiaoru, isn’t it?"

"Ah?" Qi Daniu was taken aback, "Sister Tiantian, you know about this too?"

He Tiantian scoffed, "I didn’t know about Li Mingkai’s divorce, but when I was in Nan City, I knew Lin Xiaoru got together with Li Mingkai. At that time, Qi Zhenzhen seemed to have cornered Lin Xiaoru and gave her a good beating."

"I see." Qi Daniu nodded, "No wonder you knew. Li Mingkai is shameless, and that Lin Xiaoru is really awful."

"Yeah, after Lin Xiaoru got into college, she looked for Huang Jingli and threatened her for money. If she didn’t pay, she’d write a denunciation letter, claiming Huang Jingli had bad class standing and improper behavior. Luckily, Cui Ying and I testified for Huang Jingli, so it didn’t blow up into a big issue. Afterwards, that Lin Xiaoru even had someone write wall posters slandering Huang Jingli, and even secretly ambushed and hit her. She did all those shameless things all over again. Later on, the school was going to expel Lin Xiaoru, but somehow she managed to get connected to someone and ended up getting assigned a job in a county under Nan City, and that’s how it ended. Never expected, that Lin Xiaoru and Li Mingkai continued their dalliance to this day! Now that Li Mingkai is divorced, Lin Xiaoru probably thinks she’s got her wish."

"Who knows, people like that are like festering maggots, they don’t kill a person, but they sure do disgust one," He Tiantian said. "Let’s drop this topic, is there anything else happening in the village?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Daniu’s eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, this time it’s not gossip from the village. It’s a proper matter. I heard Uncle Qi talking about rebuilding the Divine Dragon Temple on the mountain. Our village has always believed the Divine Dragon is our protector, and everyone agrees, even voluntarily contributing money."

"Ah?" Qi Xiaoyan was startled, "Isn’t that promoting feudal superstition? Would the authorities approve?"

"If it were solely for rebuilding the Divine Dragon Temple, the authorities certainly wouldn’t agree. But now Uncle Qi is saying that the scenery behind Qijia Village is beautiful and we could develop tourism to attract visitors," Qi Daniu explained. "Originally, someone wanted to start a factory, but Uncle Qi stopped it. He said those factories pollute and wouldn’t allow them to be set up in our pristine village, but Uncle Qi also said if we keep blocking it without providing the villagers with other ways to earn money, over time, people will start factories. So, he’s taking a step ahead by applying to the county to join with three other villages to form one larger village to develop tourism."

This time, everybody was surprised.

"Tourism requires a high investment." He Tiantian smiled, "And considering the current living standards, I guess not many people would come to visit, right?"

Qi Xiaoyan chuckled, "There are quite a few even now. Have you seen the small restaurants opened next to the marketplace? Those are where the tourists eat. It’s just that there’s nowhere to stay in the village yet, they can only stay with villagers. Uncle Qi is even planning to build a hotel and restaurant. One reason for the attraction is the beautiful scenery of the back mountain, which can lure those who love beautiful views; and secondly, the hot spring on our back mountain, which mysteriously vanished that year, has recently started steaming hot again."

"Huh?" Qi Xiaoyan was taken aback, "The fertility hot spring behind here?"

"Yes!" Qi Xiaoyan said, "Uncle Shuming, who was looking after the Peach Orchard, discovered it and immediately came to notify Uncle Qi. A few of them went and took a bath there afterwards and said it felt the same as before. If we have a hot spring, then we can turn it into a hot spring resort."

"That’s great, I want to take a bath there too." Qi Xiaoyan smiled, "The feeling is really good. Zhengmin, you’ve never experienced it, what a pity. Hopefully the hot spring will come back and I’ll take you there to soak."

"Heh, taking a bath is fine, but if it’s the same as before, the fertility hot spring, I guess Secretary Qi is going to have a headache with the family planning," He Tiantian laughed, thinking about those two or three years when most were twins, and even their mother Wang Shuping, whose body was injured and supposedly couldn’t get pregnant, became pregnant, showing its efficacy.

Qi Daniu laughed heartily, saying, "Yeah, so I’m a bit hesitant, but it’s too good of a thing not to make use of it. We’ll just have to think of more ways to deal with it when the time comes."

They were discussing the development of the hills behind Qijia Village, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.

Especially Qi Zhengmin, she studied architecture and loved to work on things like this.

She decided to take a good look at the back hills when she had time, aiming to design something exquisite to attract more nature enthusiasts to travel there.

Others only saw the hot spring as a manifestation of the Divine Dragon, but only He Tiantian knew that it was the Snake King practicing his powers!

But the Snake King had already left years ago, passing the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, tearing through the space to return to the Demon Realm, so how could there be a hot spring in the big pool on the hill?

The appearance of the hot spring led He Tiantian to speculate, could the Snake King be coming back?

Was this a "triumphant return," or was it the ill-fated event of being injured again and hiding in the Human Realm?

He Tiantian was somewhat excited, but also more worried.

It seemed that at night, she would have to investigate the matter with Huo Yingjie.

What was really going on?

"Sister Tiantian, what are you thinking about?" Qi Daniu noticed He Tiantian was lost in thought and asked with a smile.

While talking, why would Sister Tiantian be distracted? What was she thinking about?

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing, I’m just brainstorming what kind of tourist area we could develop the back hills into," He Tiantian said with a smile, not revealing the real reason.
