Chapter 270 Worry

But he didn't dare to express his concerns out loud, for fear that Song Liyun would say that he was thinking too much.

I made up my mind that if anything really happened, I would do my best to protect my younger brothers and sisters!

Just a few days after the engagement, he urged Song Liyun to prepare the dowry, and it seemed as if he was going to send her away immediately.

When Song Liyun heard that Song Zhenping wanted her to prepare a return gift for Madam Wu Ya, she was secretly anxious.

She thought about it and realized that the gifts she had received were all agate, jade, and fur. It was impossible for her to give back vegetable leaves, pears, peaches, acorns, flour, etc. every time. She had to give something valuable.

In fact, Madam Beggar had already said that the Song family did not need to prepare any dowry.

Song Liyun improved the life of the tribe. She is a blessing bestowed by God to the Wuda tribe, a fairy on the Dilu grassland, and the future of the tribe.

The beggar woman spoke sincerely, but the smile in her eyes while she spoke made her feel unprecedentedly embarrassed.

Song Liyun even suspected what Zhao Tingduo had said!

That bastard!

There is no need to give gold or silver jewelry, it is more practical to give food.

However, the road conditions from Suijin Town to the grassland are poor, and large quantities of goods cannot be transported.

It will take another month for the Huangsha River to freeze over, and then people will be able to drive on the ice.

Before that, she also wanted to arrange for Song Zhenping to have his leg treated.

"Brother, I'm going to the city to take over as a doctor in the next few days. Just build the straw shed and leave it alone. I'm going to ask Sister-in-law Lin Tao to do the rest."

"Well, I'm almost well now. You'd better go to the county town and work!"

Song Zhenping's heart was in turmoil when he thought about having his legs treated so that he could run and jump again and no longer limp.

At the beginning of October, Song Liyun asked Manager Wan to go to the medical clinic in the provincial capital to make an appointment with Doctor Dai for bone setting.

The original plan was to have the treatment in September so that he could move freely when he got married. However, Yang Hua wanted to cancel the engagement, and Song Zhenping was in a bad mood, so it was delayed until now.

According to the agreement, a doctor was invited to Baolinju to perform the treatment. In this way, once the operation was completed, Song Zhenping could stay where he was and avoid breaking bones and dislocating them again.

However, to invite such a famous doctor to see a patient, not only the money needs to be available, but also a respected person needs to speak for him.

When Manager Wan went to invite him, he brought a letter from Magistrate Jiang.

Doctor Dai agreed to see the patient and made an appointment with the Song family to go to the provincial capital to pick him up on October 8th.

In the two days before this, Song Zhenping needs to eat a light diet, wash up cleanly, and get enough rest.

However, even after Song Zhenping recovered from his injuries, he could not slack off on the important task of growing vegetables in the backyard.

Lin Tao's wife is now a soldier's wife. She has nothing to do. As she is used to doing farm work, she agreed to come over every day to help grow vegetables.

With the addition of Song Liyun and Xiao An, these vegetable fields can be taken care of.

After helping Song Zhenping deliver a few bundles of grass, Song Liyun still went to Tianxiang Tower.

It takes two days to go to the provincial capital and back, and since Song Zhenping needs to be taken care of for a few more days, I will definitely be delayed for a while.

I have to take advantage of these two days to sort out the matters concerning the winery, mutton and furs.

There are also new cowhide hiking bags and snow boots drawings that need to be given to Manager Wan.

Because she left home late, it was almost noon when she entered the city.

The vendors on the busy streets were still shouting about their business, but their eyes were always glancing in a certain direction.

People were strolling around in groups of three or four, as if something big had happened in the city.

Song Liyun rode her horse through the crowd and some familiar people greeted her.

"Manager Song!" A man ran out from a shop next door. He was wearing a blue cap and a brown apron. His lean body stood in front of the horse very flexibly.

"Master Guan, how's business?"

This is Guan Laoliu who joined Tianxianglou. Now he sells breakfast in the morning and grilled skewers in the afternoon, and his income has increased significantly.

"Thanks to Manager Song for his care. Now I can make a profit of one or two taels of silver every day." Guan Laoliu smiled.

One tael a day means thirty taels a month, which is indeed ten times more than before.

Song Liyun was happy that these people could make money by following her, and the mutton from the Wuda tribe could also have stable sales.

It was already late today, and Song Liyun wanted to leave after a few pleasantries, but Guan Laoliu did not give way. He just whispered, "Manager Song, you'd better be careful. I heard that Shen Leyan is jealous of you."

"Jealous of me? I didn't provoke him, how can he hate me!" Song Liyun raised her eyebrows and chuckled.

She originally thought that Shen Leyan was going to do something bad at the trade fair, so she was always on guard.

But unexpectedly, Shen Leyan was very patient, and there was no movement even after a few days.

Seeing Song Liyun still smiling, Guan Laoliu thought she didn't care and said anxiously, "Of course it's about him instigating Gao Li to frame Tianxianglou. Business at Jinxilou is really slow right now."

I heard from the youngest son of my neighbor's second uncle that Jinxilou can only sell a few dishes a day. Yesterday, they only sold a braised chicken and a roast duck.

Song Liyun was surprised: "Is he a guest or a manager of Jinxilou?"

If Jinxilou really only sells these few dishes, it would be even worse than Tianxianglou some time ago.

Guan Laoliu chuckled: "What kind of customer service manager is this? That guy is just a vegetable vendor in the market. He has seen how much chicken, duck, fish and meat several restaurants buy.

Back then, the shopkeeper had to bring two assistants to do the shopping, and they had to use a cart to push the goods. Now, one person can just carry it in his hands!"

This difference... is quite big.

Jinxilou has shot itself in the foot, and it is unknown how long it will take to recover.

Song Liyun nodded in gratitude for Guan Laoliu's reminder: "I see. Thank you. I will be careful."

After saying this, he urged his horse to leave under Guan Laoliu's worried gaze.

Jinxilou’s revenge will come sooner or later.

Song Liyun was not worried about what they would do to her on the way.

In addition to the weapons in the space, he also had a copper whistle.

Now the road from Qili County to Suijin Town is no longer as desolate as it was a few months ago. The official road has been paved with stones again, and it is flat and solid.

All the materials needed for house repairs and construction in Suijin Town over the past month need to be transported along this road, and there is a constant stream of people and vehicles coming and going on the road.

Moreover, the patrol range of the garrison was extended from Suijin Town to Qili County, and it could appear on the official road at any time.

As long as you blow the whistle, the patrol team will soon be attracted.

As long as Shen Leyan is not stupid, he will not dare to attack himself on the road.

As they approached the city center, Song Liyun finally saw what was happening.

In front of Zuichunlou, several yamen runners were pushing and shoving the waiters, and someone was sticking seals on the doors and windows.

A large number of people gathered on the street to watch the excitement. Song Liyun could no longer ride a horse and could only lead the horse and walk slowly.

The crowd was buzzing with discussion: "I heard that Jinxi Tower has also been sealed off!"

"It's not just Jin Xi Lou, there's also Ho Kee Restaurant. Ho Tung was pinned to the ground and hammered by his wife. Tsk, tsk, tsk, he was beaten so badly!"

The person who was speaking had a frown on his face and a sad expression, showing that he felt the same way.

"Ah! Boss He was beaten by a woman. He's such a coward as a man."
