Bianca's demeanor greatly angered Connor.Sylvester added, "Queenie, if you don't want to return, just say so. Mom is right. We are a family!"It was apparent that Queenie still harbored fear toward Ronan and Bianca. Perhaps due to their biological connection or the prolonged oppression, a psychological fear had taken root.Yet, Connor empowered her to confront them.She shook her head, declaring, "I won't go back! Why subject myself to confinement and separation from Coulson again? The Oberdeens always mistreat him! I won't go back!""You!" Bianca seethed.She got up, approached Queenie, and raised her hand to strike.Queenie swiftly dodged toward Connor. Before Bianca could land a blow, Connor intercepted."I'm showing restraint because you're Queenie's mother! But don't test my patience!" Connor asserted, pushing Bianca aside.Connor refrained from escalating the confrontation due to Queenie's relationship with Bianca.Bianca couldn't comprehend how her daughter's protecto

Connor's words had clearly offended Bianca. She retorted indignantly, "I've raised Queenie to become who she is today, so what's wrong with a bit of dowry?"Eric interjected, unable to bear it any longer, "80,000,000 dollars is not a small sum. A mansion in King City costs several hundred million dollars minimum."As far as I know, even the Oberdeens can't afford a mansion. When Ivan gets married, will you also give 80,000,000 dollars in dowry?"Eric was aware that the Oberdeens were being unreasonable.Bianca shot a glance at Eric. "Are you from the Williams?! Hmph! I wonder how much it cost for you to marry their daughter."Eric nonchalantly shrugged. "Sorry to disappoint you. I didn't spend a penny to marry Sylvia. Instead, she gave me 10,000 dollars in cash and a house over 200 square meters worth around 500,000 dollars."Bianca's face froze.Eric sneered. "The Oberdeens should learn a thing or two from the Williams."Meanwhile, Queenie added, "After how you treated me for

Blake sighed and said, "We're farmers. What do we know about taking exams? Moreover, a few days ago, they issued a notice that rapeseed stalks, corn stalks, wheat straws, etc., cannot be burned in the fields. They need to be crushed and scattered into the fields!"This is simply ridiculous. Even a farmer like me knows that planting the same crop in the same field for three years will lead to a high risk of pests and a significant decrease in yield. Not burning the straw will only result in more pests.""What's more infuriating is that we could use manure for planting crops in the past. Now, they are banning us from using manure, saying that it is toxic and not conducive to the growth of crops! It's simply absurd!"Andy found it unnerving. "Are they trying to stop farmers from farming? We've been doing it this way for thousands of years. Where's the problem?"He couldn't understand. In his own hometown, even his elderly parents would use manure to fertilize the vegetables they plant

Madison Ruske's eyes sparkled with joy.Eric continued. "The main reason I came here is that when I returned to my hometown for the festival yesterday, I witnessed some things that I can't quite understand.""Oh?" Madison took a sip of coffee. "What is it?"Eric narrated the events.After listening, Madison sighed. "So it's about this matter. I didn't expect you to be concerned about it either, Mr. Johnson. To be honest, we have no say in this matter. As the department in charge, we are also curious."Some things are clearly unreasonable, but the higher-ups insist on implementing them. I have collaborated with people from other cities to report this issue, but there hasn't been a response so far. Based on my past experience, it's likely to be ignored."He then presented some documents. "You can take a look at this. For issues like the ban on burning straw, it is mainly for environmental protection. Burning so much straw would definitely pollute the air!"Eric chuckled after glan

"No way?" Andy widened his eyes in shock.He frequently visited Elly's salon and was well aware of the parking fees at the entrance."Isn't it five dollars per hour, with a daily cap of 20? How could it accumulate to more than 90 dollars? Did you forget to pay the parking fee before?"Elly shook her head. "That's impossible. They issue receipts, and the parking fee is calculated automatically once the receipt is scanned."Let's see how it goes tomorrow. If it still costs that much, I won't park there anymore. I can buy four or five spare ribs and have several hearty meals for 90 dollars!"Eric and Sylvia did not pay much attention to such a problem.-The next morning, as soon as Eric arrived at the company, he received a call from Madison.After breakfast, Eric hurried to the relevant department.Madison brewed some coffee and handed over freshly printed documents to him. "I've gathered data from other cities over the past nine years, and you know what? It's something I've ne
