However, their primary source of livelihood was agriculture.
While cultivating medicinal herbs could potentially yield substantial profits, not everyone in the village had suitable fields for such crops. This was the case for the third branch of the Yan family, to which Yan Danqiu belonged.
Yan Danqiu's father owned ten acres of medicinal herb fields, with the remaining five acres designated for ordinary crops. In the North Village, their family held a prominent position due to his expertise in cultivating both types of fields.
Regrettably, over the past two years, Yan Danqiu's father experienced a gradual decline in output. The outlook for the medicinal herb fields became less promising, leading him to venture into the mountains in search of alternative resources, resulting in unfortunate incidents.
