Chapter 227 Greetings
The dinner lasted until late at night and everyone was very happy.
Although the house is spacious, it cannot accommodate the large number of people in the Su family, and there are also Sun Liangyuan and a small number of people from Tieniu Village who followed them. The room was quite tight.
Su Linhua still slept in the same room with Su Chengnan. They lay on the bed, each covered with their own quilt, and chatted. Su Chengnan was still worried about everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and couldn't sleep at all.
"Eldest sister, don't think too much. Let's just take things one by one. We've already reached Ningguta. How can we starve to death or freeze to death? It's okay."
"Of course I'm not worried about this most basic survival need. I'm thinking about other things."
"Then what are you thinking about?" Su Linhua turned around and looked at her.
"Do you still remember what the mission in the space said?" Su Chengnan said helplessly.
"What did it say? It told us to... protect Ningguta." Su Linhua jumped up and sat up with the quilt in her arms. "Yes! Protect Ningguta! What should we do? It just said this one sentence, and the space didn't give us any other information. How can we protect it?"
Su Chengnan reached out and pulled her down, "Hurry up and lie down, don't catch a cold. I'm just thinking about it."
"Have you thought of that?"
"No, let's go out tomorrow and take a look at what Ningguta is like. After we find out what exactly is for sale in the city, we can make plans."
"Will it be too late?"
"One more day is not too bad. The houses we have at home are not big enough to live in. If we have too much to do, it will be troublesome if we don't get enough rest."
Su Chengnan turned over, lying flat on his back, and continued, "I want to convert the room into a dormitory with bunk beds, and then eat three meals a day in the cafeteria, just like in a factory. I will focus on the carpentry workshop first and fix up all the places in the house that need repairing."
"Good idea. You can let me handle the canteen business first, and then let Uncle Fu go out and look for a suitable shop. Since we have already agreed on cooperation with Uncle Li, we must open this shop."
"That's a must! When the soldiers sent by Li Shibo to escort us returned today, I asked them to take two carts of food and fodder back, and also gave them some silver. I hope Beiling will be peaceful recently."
Su Linhua was quiet for a while, and just when Su Chengnan was about to fall asleep, she suddenly spoke: "I can sort out all the things in the cafeteria in a week at most. What else can I do by then? Otherwise, I will practice martial arts with these people at home?"
Su Chengnan said dazedly, "The shop will probably open in a week, and we'll be busy then."
Su Linhua curled her lips, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
…
the next day.
Uncle Fu and Nanny Han brought a few capable people from the family to come and pay their respects to the two of them.
Su Chengnan sat in the main seat, looked at them and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it directly."
Uncle Fu bowed and said, "Miss, etiquette cannot be abolished. I thought that we should teach the servants in the house some rules in the next few days. You and the second young lady cannot be without people to serve you. In addition to Chunyu and Nianqiu, do you want to add a few more people?"
Su Chengnan didn't say anything, but glanced at Nanny Han.
Nanny Han took a step forward and said, "Uncle Fu is right. I also think this rule cannot be abolished."
Su Chengnan curled her lips and said slowly: "Then according to your opinion, what should we two sisters do?"
Uncle Fu and Nanny Han looked at each other and said, "Young Miss, you can leave some of your matters to the young masters. This place is very complicated, and it would be more convenient for men to travel outside."
"Is this what you all mean?"
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chengnan slammed his hand on the table, "Have you forgotten my identity? As the head of the family, I dare to go to the battlefield. Can't I go out?"
Everyone knelt on the ground in unison, not daring to breathe.
Su Chengnan didn't want to let it go easily.
"Uncle Fu, I didn't say much yesterday because we were moving to a new house, but today it's really too much!"
"Miss, I am here because you have worked so hard on this journey. We are going to settle down in Ningguta in the future. You are going to get married in the future. If you keep going in and out with secret guards, I don't know what outsiders will say. I am here for you and the Su family."
"Yes, Miss! We couldn't do anything on the road, but now we have a house and a home, and the rules of the Su family for so many years cannot be abolished! The second young lady is also a legitimate daughter, how can she run to the kitchen at every turn? How can she be a lady from a noble family?"
"Please think twice, ladies, and seriously consider our suggestions."
"Please think twice, ladies."
The attitude of these people was simply forcing the two of them.
Su Linhua's reaction was even stronger than Su Chengnan's. "Don't think you can blackmail us morally just like this. Besides, we haven't done anything that's hard to judge that would allow you to stand on the moral high ground and accuse us! Don't you think that if it weren't for the elder sister's mediation along the way and the dedicated protection of the secret guards, we wouldn't even be able to get here alive. Why are you still here to criticize us?"
"Don't think I don't know what you are planning. Not to mention that my brother is still young, even if he is as old as me, if he doesn't have the real talent to protect the family, he can't rely on his status as the legitimate son to manage the household. Don't forget, my father said that my eldest sister is the head of the family!"
Nanny Han had a look of disappointment, and her eyes revealed a strong sense of strangeness, "Second Miss, how can you say that? He is your own brother."
"So what if he's my younger brother? He has to grow up and become more capable first."
"Second Miss! What kind of drug have you taken?"
Nanny Han was crying, Uncle Fu's expression was indescribable, Chunyu kept his head down, and only Nianqiu had a confused expression. As for the other young servants standing behind, they also kept their foreheads pressed to the ground like Chunyu, and never dared to raise their heads.
Su Linhua wanted to argue, but Su Chengnan held down her hand and stopped her.
"Okay, I don't care whether you think this way yourself or are instigated by someone. Anyway, I am the head of the family now, and all arrangements must be made by me. In the future, I can give you the opportunity to express your ideas, but if you have substantive and constructive opinions about our behavior rather than the development of the Su family, then please don't say anything."
"Miss! You..."
"Uncle Fu, I think you are my father's old man, and I don't want to kill you! There are still many things that need you to do here. If you get tired and confused, there are many young people in the family who want to fight for opportunities. You should think carefully. Can you really gain a foothold in Ningguta with just this house?"
"You should know clearly whether to listen to me or to the two young boys..."
