Chapter 319: Prosperous Shop

Now, County Magistrate Yang must be having a headache.

With just these few people in the county government, plus the servants of the Yang and Wang families, they couldn't find the "thief" even if they turned Jixiang County upside down.

At that time, would they be rude to County Magistrate Yang? Would County Magistrate Yang teach them a lesson in return? The dandy versus the aristocratic family would be a very exciting drama.

Xia Daohua squinted her eyes, considering whether she should add a few more sticks of firewood to the fire and pour two spoonfuls of oil...

The situation this time was different from that of County Magistrate Xie's family, so she was not worried that the two things would be linked together. But as for the Murong family, when Helan Yue recovered, she might be able to notice something...

In fact, County Magistrate Yang did a really good job.

Even the old couple of the Xia family would sometimes talk about Lord Yang when chatting with their neighbors.

Everyone thought that Lord Yang was a good official. His reputation was much better than that of County Magistrate Xie. Everyone thought that the biggest shortcoming of County Magistrate Yang was that he liked bricklaying work such as building city walls and houses too much.

It was the coldest time of the year, with water freezing into ice, but this did not stop him. He even arranged for people to repair the roofs of all the old houses in the south city.

When I think of County Magistrate Yang, I can't help but think of Wang.

Wang appears to be kind and generous on a daily basis, but in fact, she is a vengeful person at heart.

Ever since the Wang family defeated the rebels and protected their own territory, the Yang family has become respectful to Wang again. However, Wang herself does not intend to let this matter go.

She had already packed up the unknown wet nurse of County Magistrate Yang and the careless maid she brought with her and sent them back to the Yang family. It was County Magistrate Yang who took the initiative to ask Wang to arrange this matter - after all, both the maid and the wet nurse had been caught by Wang more than once.

According to the rules of the Yang family, they should have been beaten and driven out, and they and their relatives should have been driven out as well.

However, Wang did not take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury. She did not beat or scold them, and she did not even say a harsh word. She just arranged for them to go back to the Yang family quickly, thus saving face for the old lady of the Yang family and Magistrate Yang.

Wang even hired a escort agency and a carriage to take them on their journey, but she only sent her youngest son, who was a trusted manager, to accompany them. This was because she took into consideration that it would be inconvenient for the two women to deal with any problems along the way after a long journey.

When Xia Daohua heard about it, she felt that Wang's arrangement was very subtle.

They hired an escort agency with great fanfare and sent several cars to escort the two women, and there were also several cars of gifts for the old lady of the Yang family, but they only sent a young and clever boy to follow.

After asking about the route, Xia Daohua understood Wang's intention.

That road was already full of bandits, and the escort agency offered double the reward for taking that route. The wet nurse and the little girl would most likely be killed by the bandits.

Those boxes sent to the old lady of the Yang family will also be given to those bandits.

Wang remained calm on the surface, but secretly she would rather give up those properties than let the old lady of the Yang family feel comfortable!

After leaving the Hu Family Clinic, Xia Daohua walked back slowly, thinking about these things all the way. On the way, she met several groups of police officers and many small vendors who were disturbed and in a panic.

It is enough to leave the task of pulling out the nail in "Puji Rescue" to Wei Shiqi. Of course, if he can't find it, I can do it myself.

Li Gan caused quite a stir in Bohai County. The news shocked Bohai County and the Great Chu court. Xia Daohua felt much more at ease when she learned that he was fine.

As long as Li Gan can come back alive, the balance will not be wasted.

Xia Daohua felt that she might be a little cold-blooded.

Li Gan could be considered his friend after all, but after learning that he was safe and sound, the first thought that came to his mind was money and business.

However, her "self-reflection" never lasts too long.

After a moment, Xia Daohua thought of adding new things to "Daohuaxiang".

As soon as she reached the door of "Daohuaxiang", Xia Daohua found that the old beggar who usually basked in the sun under the opposite wall was not there today. She just frowned and went into "Daohuaxiang".

There were not many customers in the store at the moment. Erlang had gone out to deliver the goods. Taohua was doing needlework in the back, occasionally looking up to see the other shop assistants working.

Some of the assistants were gently cleaning the shelves with feather dusters, some were adjusting things on the shelves, and some were cleaning the floor with wet mops. They were all very diligent.

They all had smiles on their faces.

The atmosphere of the whole store makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.

Xia Daohua walked slowly in the store with her hands behind her back. She looked around and looked at the empty spaces on the shelves. She planned to restock the shelves herself in the evening after the shop assistants left the store.

As for those candies, snacks and side dishes, it's time to try something new.

Taohua has become more and more accustomed to the days of looking after the shop. She will greet customers when they come and is not so shy anymore. She can now spend more time on other things.

The summer rice flowers said hello to the peach blossoms, then left their "rice flower fragrance" and headed towards the inner city.

Originally, it was not so convenient for Xia Daohua to enter and exit the inner city. It was all thanks to County Magistrate Yang and Wang. Since she started cooperating with the couple, Xia Daohua really got some food, and Wang gave Xia Daohua a pass to enter and exit the inner city.

She can enter the inner city whenever she wants.

Although Xia Daohua was not lazy and often ran around, she would not take the initiative to come forward unless Wang looked for her.

Xia Daohua went to the inner city at this time, but not to find Wang.

She had her eyes on a shop in the inner city and had made an appointment with the pawnbroker and the shop owner to meet today.

The shop was originally a silver shop that sold gold and silver jewellery, but it had not been doing well since it opened. Later, the owner, probably seeing that the deficit was too great, simply packed up his things and ran away, taking away all the remaining gold and silver jewellery in the shop.

The boss naturally couldn't swallow this humiliation and has already reported the case to the authorities, but the suspect has not been caught yet.

The location of this shop is actually quite good, but it took only three short years from the time the owner acquired the silver shop to the time the shopkeeper packed up and ran away.

Oddly enough, this shop has changed hands three times, and each time something went wrong, eventually forcing it to close down.

The boss was also concerned about his loss, not knowing whether the shopkeeper could be caught. Even if he was caught, the gold might not be recovered, so he was unwilling to lower the price too much.

Although the shop had been listed in the dental clinic for a long time, it had not been sold for half a year.

When Xia Daohua learned about this, she was somewhat moved.

She didn't care much about these comments.

In her opinion, if the shop really has feng shui problems, then it can be improved.

What's more, there are many reasons why a shop is not doing well. Human factors often account for a larger proportion, and we can't just blame Feng Shui for everything.
