Ye Panjiu curled her lips and looked at him.
"Exactly, can you not tell Brother Su what happened in Qingshui County? I'm afraid he'll report me to the authorities."
Ye Panjiu pointed to the mountains in the distance, "You know there's a White Deer Academy there, right?"
Chu Guan scratched his head and looked over, his face completely falling down.
Not to mention there's a gold mine here; everyone in the government is eyeing it now.
No one dared to reach out anymore, and everyone was wary of others reaching out.
Qingshui County is already incredibly transparent.
Chu Guan sighed and left; he dared not work night shifts now.
Xiang Ziping bowed obsequiously to Ye Panjiu and then followed her away.
Ye Panjiu looked at the back of the noble young master and felt a little sorry for him.
I don't know why they chose him to take on this hot potato.
Du Shi walked over when we had only sold half of the braised food for the day.
"girl."
Ye Panjiu nodded. "Have you eaten? I'll treat you to dinner."
Ye Erniu didn't give him a chance to refuse, and pulled him to sit down. "You have to try my Ye family's braised food. You'll never want to eat it again!"
Du Shi sat stiffly on the stool, every muscle in his body tense.
Thirteen years have passed. When has he ever been in such close contact with anyone?
A bowl of braised food was served quickly, wafting a fragrant aroma and steaming hot.
Du Shi picked up his chopsticks and started eating, and no one was watching him.
The taste was indeed excellent; somehow, it felt like a gentle caress on his cold heart.
After finishing one bowl, he felt embarrassed and asked for another.
Ye Erniu proudly patted his chest, "See? I told you so! It's delicious! Only when you eat and drink well can you have the energy to keep living!"
Mrs. Sun glanced sideways at the conspicuous bag in her house, "Hurry up and take it!"
Ye Erniu walked quickly, "Coming, coming!"
Looking at the couple, Du Shi thought of his wife who had run away because he was poor.
It's good that they ran away; they avoided this disaster.
After he finished another bowl, he called out to Ye Panjiu.
Ye Panjiu sat down opposite him with a smile, "Did you need something from me?"
Du Shi nodded. "Miss, I really loathed Xiangxiangfang and the Zhou residence, so I sold them both for two hundred taels of silver."
He took out a bulging money bag and was about to hand it to Ye Panjiu.
Ye Panjiu asked him, "Why did you give me this money?"
"These were all obtained for me by the girl."
Ye Panjiu shook her head. "No, this is what you deserve. Justice may be delayed, but it will surely come."
Du Shi gave a faint smile. “What you say is right, but my life belongs to you, so this money should naturally belong to you too.”
"No need, I don't need the money." Ye Panjiu pushed the money bag back.
Du Shi paused for a while, then said, "Then I will use this money to buy a shop."
Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "That's wonderful. I'll definitely come to support you when you open your business."
Du Shi relaxed a lot. "Since you're here for dinner, you absolutely have to let me treat you."
Ye Panjiu smiled and nodded.
Du Shi stood up and walked outside, taking much larger steps.
He felt a long-lost sense of ease and then noticed the fragrance in the air.
The braised food sold out much faster today, so I got home earlier.
At lunchtime, as the family ate lunch together, Old Man Ye had a smile on his face the whole time. "This house is almost finished today. This new house is really beautiful!"
Ye Panjiu picked up a piece of meat and gave it to him, saying, "I also think this house is beautiful. Dad, you've worked hard."
Old Man Ye's smile widened even more. "This meat is really delicious!"
The food his daughter gave him was the best!
She picked up another piece of pork ribs, which was Grandma Ye's favorite, and said, "Mom, you've worked hard too."
Grandma Ye smiled and said, "We didn't have to work hard at all. It was all done by others, and we just watched."
At this point, Old Man Ye tapped his bowl, "Now that the building is finished, the money for the academy should return to Pan Jiu."
The rest of the Ye family nodded in agreement.
Ye Panjiu refused, "You guys keep it, I have enough here, let's not talk about this anymore. Today is the sixth day of the month, and the day after tomorrow is Lei'er's wedding day."
Grandma Ye said, "Everyone has helped build the house for a month, so we must hold a housewarming party. How about we hold the housewarming party tomorrow?"
Sun asked in confusion, "With banquets being held for two consecutive days, the shop can't open for the next two days."
Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "Not opening for two days won't make a difference."
From the moment she arrived here until now, she has been opening the door without fail, rain or shine, and taking a break occasionally doesn't affect anything.
"Alright, then tomorrow will be the housewarming banquet, and the day after tomorrow will be Lei'er's wedding. I'll go to each family this afternoon to discuss it." Old Man Ye finalized the decision.
When evening came, Ye Taohua and her two companions returned. Upon hearing that there would be a banquet at home the next day and the day after, they were all incredibly excited.
"Mother, I won't go to the academy tomorrow or the day after!" Ye Taohua grabbed Ye Panjiu's arm and shook it.
"Mother, I don't want to go either..." Ye Ling'er hugged her other arm.
She forgot when she started calling Ye Panjiu's mother; it just came naturally to her.
Ye Guihua didn't speak, but her eyes were full of hope.
Ye Panjiu was both amused and exasperated. "Alright, alright, I'll go to the academy and tell the headmaster, did you all study properly today?"
Ye Taohua jumped and leaped, delivering a flurry of punches to Ye Panjiu.
After studying at Bailu Academy for almost half a month, she is now much stronger, and her punches have become more structured.
Guan Muning looked on, her eyes shining.
There are many kinds of strength. Someone like Ye Panjiu, who is good at strategizing, is strong. Someone like Ye Taohua, who is good at martial arts, is also strong. She feels that being good at martial arts makes revenge come faster.
If she could scale walls and leap across rooftops and possess unparalleled martial arts skills, why would she have trouble controlling her pack of wolves?
"Mom, look how well I did!"
Ye Panjiu patted her head and wiped her sweat, "Great job, you're getting better and better."
Ye Guihua also took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ye Panjiu, saying, "Auntie, the teacher praised my handwriting today."
Ye Panjiu took it and examined it closely. "Is this a copy of Jiang Lincang's calligraphy?"
Ye Guihua nodded, "I like his calligraphy the most."
Ye Panjiu patted her head, "Your aunt will give you a gift later. It's well written. Practicing calligraphy requires perseverance, so don't get discouraged."
Ye Guihua nodded obediently, her heart filled with anticipation for the gift.
Ye Ling'er stood with her legs turned to the side, her eyes welling up with tears of anxiety. She couldn't think of anything she could come up with.
She seems to be interested in almost every subject, and doesn't seem to have any particular interests.
I still only have a vague understanding of everything and feel very confused.
Ye Panjiu picked her up and placed her on his lap. "Ling'er, everyone's pace is different. You don't need to look at others. Just take your time and do your best every day."
Ling'er snuggled into her arms and hugged her tightly. "Okay, I'll listen to you, Mother."
After the others went to sleep, Guan Muning followed Ye Panjiu to her room.
Ye Panjiu invited her inside to sit down, saying, "Miss Guan, please feel free to speak your mind."
