Chapter 371 Seeking the Spy
It wasn't that the shop was out of rice, but people kept coming to cause trouble every few days. Zhou Feng wasn't around, and the shopkeepers couldn't make up their minds, so they had no choice but to close the rice shop for now.
Manager You, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, personally came to the city gate to escort her to the Zhou residence.
The Zhou Mansion is a new residence that Zhou Feng bought in the capital, which is about four or five times the size of the magistrate's mansion in Cheng'an County.
Du Wanchun pulled back the carriage curtain and glanced outside, then asked Manager You, "How many rice shops do we have left in the capital?"
Manager You calculated, "There are probably three more."
Du Wanchun pondered for a moment, “Three stores… I remember we opened a total of five stores in the capital before the New Year.”
The capital city was the size of more than ten Cheng'an counties, so five rice shops were not many.
I never expected that those people couldn't even accommodate five rice shops.
Du Wanchun frowned slightly.
Manager You continued, "Madam Du, don't worry. These days, the Liang family has also started to have bad luck. They somehow offended the people in charge of the canal transport and can no longer use the waterways. As a result, the rice cannot be transported and can only be transported via the official road. Transporting rice via the official road will take at least half a month. Their business won't last long."
Du Wanchun relaxed her brows slightly and smiled, "That's good then. I'll trouble you to help deliver these newly brought rice to the rice warehouse."
Zhou Feng had previously mentioned that there was a mole among the shops in the capital.
Today she's going to see who these moles are.
Manager You replied, "Yes, Madam."
As he finished speaking, his gaze happened to fall on Wei Shi, who was standing to the side.
"Isn't this the Bo family's daughter-in-law?"
Madam Wei lowered her head slightly and smiled, "Manager You, it's me."
Shopkeeper You was overjoyed to see her. He looked around and whispered, "The Bo family's daughter-in-law is still alive! We all thought you were dead."
Wei looked at Du Wanchun beside her and said, "Thanks to Manager Du for saving my life."
Manager You lowered his voice and said excitedly, "Thank goodness you're back! Manager Bo isn't dead!"
"Not dead?" Wei was shocked.
Du Wanchun sat to the side, a slight smile playing on her lips, not finding it strange at all.
Manager You nodded and said, "Yes, Manager Bo was lucky. He fell off a cliff and got caught on a tree branch. Then a few fruits grew next to the tree, and he stayed on the tree for more than half a month, leaning against those fruits, until a passing villager rescued him."
"Fearing retaliation from the Yang family, he secretly came to your house to look for you, only to find you gone. Later, he heard that you had been killed by the Wei family..."
"But that kid doesn't believe it, and now he's trying to find you every day."
Wei's eyes were slightly red, and her body trembled slightly. She never expected that her husband, whom she had always thought was dead, was actually still alive.
He's still looking for her.
Du Wanchun reached out to comfort her, saying, "This is a good thing. Soon your family will be reunited."
Tears streamed down Wei's face as she gripped Du Wanchun's hand, choking back sobs and unable to speak.
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "This is a good thing, don't cry."
As she spoke, she asked Manager You, "Where is Manager Bo now?"
Manager You's face was also beaming with joy. "We're at the Zhou residence. Let's hurry back!"
The surprise came so suddenly that Wei felt like he was in a dream.
After calming her down, Du Wanchun inquired about the recent situation at the shop.
Manager You was very patient, explaining things one by one.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Zhou residence, another shopkeeper came to greet them.
He is currently the junior manager of the rouge shop, and his surname is Tong.
Manager Tong was older than Manager You, and it was the Fang family who introduced him to Zhou Feng.
Zhou Feng thought he was a good candidate and put him in the rouge shop.
The rouge shop sells the finest anti-aging creams, which are more expensive than rice and bouillon balls, so it earns more money every day than ordinary shops.
Naturally, it also contains the most lucrative profits.
Seeing that Du Wanchun was very attentive, with his arm around her waist, Manager Tong said with a smile, "Madam Du, please come in."
Du Wanchun stood in front of him, deliberately paused, and looked up at Manager You, saying, "Manager You, that rice is all top-quality refined rice. Remember to put it in the rice warehouse quickly, otherwise it won't be good if it gets wet in the rain."
Manager You quickly bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Madam."
Shopkeeper Tong's eyes lit up, and a smile secretly crept onto his lips.
Meanwhile, the heads of three little radish heads peeked out from the carriage loaded with rice.
"Big brother, second brother, we've arrived."
