Chapter 76 Tracking
With this calculation, the goal of becoming a rich woman seems to be becoming more and more promising.
She twisted her neck to relieve her fatigue and began to consider practical issues. Opening a restaurant can indeed make money, but if there are more and more diners in the future, even if all the Pei family members come out, they may not be able to handle it.
Mrs. Pei is old and her two children have limited abilities. Pei's excellent embroidery skills cannot be wasted. There are only three people in the family who can really work. This will definitely not work. Once the business stabilizes, she may be able to hire a few more people to reduce the burden.
Ji Zhisui went to her spiritual spring space again and saw that the spiritual spring had become as big as a basin. She had made a lot of money these days, and every time she made money, she would observe the spiritual spring space. On the day when Mrs. Wang gave her five taels of silver as a reward, the spiritual spring became like this.
The changes in the spiritual spring also confirmed her previous guess. The changes in this spiritual spring were related to the money she earned. When Pei Yian handed her fifty taels a few days ago, the spiritual spring had not changed at all.
The changes in the spiritual spring made it easier for her to use it, so she added a lot of it to the soup, hoping that her whole family would be healthy.
The restaurant was doing good business, and since it had been a busy day, everyone fell asleep quickly and got up early the next morning to go to the restaurant to work.
Old lady Liu who lived next door was a little surprised to see the Pei family going out with their family early in the morning. What were they going to do?
It was the same yesterday. Something is wrong, definitely wrong. This family must have some secret!
She originally wanted to follow, but the moment she took a step, she thought of Mrs. Pei's stern face, and she felt a little scared. She glanced at her daughter-in-law who was washing clothes and said, "Liu, follow them and see where the family next door is going so early in the morning."
Liu Shi didn't stop washing clothes. She still had to make breakfast after washing the clothes. At the same time, she replied, "Mother, maybe he has to go out for something!"
"If the whole family goes out so early, it must be something bad. I told you to go, so just go. Why are you complaining? Doesn't my words as an old woman count?" Old Mrs. Liu had a stern face and spoke in a serious tone. She was very unhappy that her daughter-in-law refuted her words.
"No, Mom, I... I'll go right away, don't be angry." Liu's voice was a little timid. She didn't understand why her mother was angry for no reason. How could she dare to delay any longer? She wiped her body with her hands and stood up.
Daya's birthday is coming soon. At this critical juncture, she dare not make her mother angry, for fear that she will not tell her the news about Daya.
"Follow them closely! They must be doing something shameful so early in the morning!" There was a fierce look in Old Lady Liu's dark eyes. She was worried that she had no way to deal with this family!
Liu had no choice but to follow, but she felt that her mother was overthinking it. The man might have gone out for something serious in the morning. Of course, she could only think about these words in her heart.
At the urging of Old Lady Liu, Liu hurriedly followed. In order not to be discovered, she kept a certain distance from Ji Zhisui and others.
No one else felt anything, but Pei Yian had noticed something unusual not long ago. He became alert and looked back inconspicuously, and found that there was a woman following them, who did not seem to pose any threat.
However, Pei Yian's vigilance did not decrease. He said to Ji Zhisui, "Sui Niang, I remembered that I left something at home. I'll go back and get it first."
"Okay." Ji Zhisui didn't have any doubts.
When Liu turned the corner and was about to continue following Ji Zhisui and his group, she was blocked by a tall and handsome man.
"You've been with us. What's the matter?"
It was clearly a magnetic voice, but Liu could sense a chill in it and shuddered unconsciously. She also recognized the identity of the person in front of her. It was the family next door.
This meant that her tracking had failed and she had been caught, which made her feel even more guilty. The act of tracking someone was not honorable in itself, and Liu was also a little too embarrassed to face people.
She lowered her head, not daring to look up at Pei Yian, and said weakly, "No...it's okay."
"Who do you belong to?" Pei Yian observed the lady in front of him. She was about thirty years old, her clothes were worn and tattered, and her face was a little dark. She looked like an ordinary person who often did farm work.
If that person really wanted to deal with them, he would definitely not send someone like this.
Besides, given the current state of their family, I'm afraid no one would bother to spend time and energy to deal with them. I am a useless person who poses no threat, and the elderly, weak, women and children in the family cannot cause any trouble.
It is a waste of time to ask someone to travel thousands of miles from the capital to Lingnan.
"I... I was just passing by." Liu stuttered. She knew that she couldn't tell her mother-in-law about it, otherwise she would definitely be beaten, and she might not even know about Daya's news.
"Passing by, passing by the residential building on North Street?" Pei Yian's tone was half-smile, but he also roughly knew the other person's identity. He should be a neighbor in that residential building.
Liu felt even more guilty. The other party's tone made her feel dangerous for no reason. She looked around, found the right moment, and ran away.
Knowing the other party's general identity, and that it would not bring any life threat to their family, Pei Yian did not pursue the matter further. He knew that if there were any signs, the truth would be revealed. He was still rushing to the restaurant to help!
As soon as Ji Zhisui arrived at the restaurant, Pei Yian followed him. Seeing that he had nothing in his hands, just like when he left, she couldn't help but feel curious, "Brother An, didn't you go back to get something? Why are you here so soon? Do you have anything else to get?"
"I realized halfway through that I didn't need it, so I went to the kitchen to chop firewood." In order to avoid being discovered by Sui Niang, Pei Yian found an excuse to go to the kitchen.
Ji Zhisui always felt that Pei Yian was a little weird today, but the butcher and Mr. Sun brought the dishes, so she didn't have time to dwell on it and was busy preparing the ingredients.
Liu, who had fled in panic, breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see the imposing man. After she calmed down a little, she looked up and searched around, but looking at the busy streets, there was no trace of Ji Zhisui and others.
She began to worry. She had lost the person, so how would she explain to her mother-in-law when she returned? She didn't even dare to make up an excuse.
She walked aimlessly on the street and came to South Street. Looking at the noisy scene on the street and the majestic mansions not far away, she felt a little moved.
Daya was sold into such a wealthy family by her mother-in-law. She wanted to go around and maybe run into Daya if she was lucky.
