Chapter 84 Today, I'm treating everyone to watermelon!
Grandpa Mo looked at the young girl's eyes and saw a determination beyond her years, and remained silent for a moment.
He looked again at the pair of reunited golden goblets, as if he could see some kind of mysterious connection and entrustment through them.
Old Master Mo suddenly leaned on his dragon-headed cane, his voice steady and powerful.
“Miss Jiang has such aspirations; your father in heaven must be pleased. Since this wine vessel has brought our two families together here, it can be considered a kind of fate.”
He turned to his grandson, "Mo Chen, you must do everything in your power to assist Miss Jiang in this matter. Use all the resources and connections the Mo family can provide, as long as it's legal and reasonable. Make sure you find out the truth for Miss Jiang!"
"Yes, Grandpa," Mo Chen replied readily.
Jiang Ling paused for a moment. She hadn't meant to ask for help when she said those words.
She already had her own investigation plan.
But since things have already come to this point...
She was momentarily at a loss for how to politely decline.
She took a deep breath and could only express her gratitude first: "Thank you, Mr. Mo! Thank you, Young Master Mo!"
Now that the small talk is over, it's time to get back to the main topic.
Old Master Mo glanced at Jiang Ling's wine cup, his tone shifting from the calm of the discussion:
"I have carefully examined Miss Jiang's wine vessel, and it is undoubtedly genuine. Moreover, it is in better condition than the one in our Mo family. According to the preliminary estimate, it is worth fifty million. What does Miss Jiang think?"
Fifty million?
Although Jiang Ling was prepared, she was still surprised.
“Yes, Mr. Mo. I agree to the price.”
Old Zhou was also happy for Jiang Ling. Fifty million was a very fair price; one could even say that the Mo family offered it as compensation and out of goodwill.
The transaction proceeded exceptionally smoothly.
Soon, Jiang Ling's phone received a notification that a large sum of money had been transferred into her account from the bank.
It was already dark when we left Yunqi Villa.
Mo Chen personally escorted her to the door.
“Miss Jiang,” Mo Chen handed her a business card, “this is my contact information. Please contact me anytime if you need anything regarding the investigation. Since Grandpa has given the order, I will do my best. If it’s convenient, please also leave me your contact information.”
"Thank you, Young Master Mo." Jiang Ling took the business card, took out her phone, and dialed the number on the card.
Soon, the phone rang on the other end.
As I sat in the car on the way back, I watched the blurry night view rushing past the window.
Jiang Ling took out her phone and counted the balance in her account.
Ten million of them were transferred to the mother's account.
I glanced at the chat box again; private investigator Lao Chen still hadn't sent any messages.
It seems there won't be any results so soon...
Back in the small town.
Jiang Ling stopped by the supermarket to restock her grocery store.
I then went to the market and bought some meat, vegetables, and fruit.
I bought several large watermelons.
Passing by the pharmacy, I remembered that she had used up all the medicine she had left.
Unlike modern times, ancient times were filled with dangers and diseases. To avoid having no one to turn to for help if she had a minor headache or fever, she still went in and bought some medicine.
When it came time to pay, the clerk's eyes widened in surprise; he probably rarely saw a customer buy over a thousand yuan worth of medicine at once.
The wooden door opened; it was already the morning of the fourth day.
As soon as you open the door, you hear familiar shouts and see villagers lining up in an orderly fashion to sell vegetables.
Good morning, Miss Jiang!
Good morning, Miss Jiang.
"Good morning, fellow villagers!" Jiang Ling greeted with a smile.
I had barely finished greeting them when a familiar figure appeared at the door.
Lu Qian still wore that gentle smile on his face, "Good morning, Miss Jiang!"
"Good morning, Young Master Lu! Perfect timing! Do you have a moment? Could you help me move a table out?" Jiang Ling was worried about not being able to find anyone to help her.
Lu Qian swallowed the words he was about to say and replied, "Okay."
The two of them worked together to carry a sturdy, long wooden table out of the shop and set it up in the open space by the door.
When the villagers saw this, they knew that Miss Jiang was going to treat them to tea again, and the atmosphere in the crowd instantly became lively.
"I'm in for a treat today!"
"Miss Jiang, what kind of tea is it this time?"
Jiang Ling set up the table, turned around and went back into the shop, bringing out several large watermelons from the kitchen.
With a slight smile, she said, "No tea today, I'll treat everyone to watermelon!"
Watermelon is juicy and sweet, making it the best choice for cooling off in the summer.
Just then, a figure of about half a height squeezed out from the crowd, looking as if he had run over and was slightly out of breath.
"Jiang... Sister Jiang..."
"Xiao Ran, you're here."
Xiao Ran was panting heavily, but she still hurriedly got to the point, "Sister Jiang, my parents... agreed... that I can... work for Sister Jiang in the future?"
Jiangling closed its doors for three days, and he waited anxiously for three days.
He could initially convince himself, but the longer he waited, the more anxious he became.
Jiang Ling said the store would open about once every three days, but on the third day, the whole family waited from morning till night and the store never opened.
The whole family panicked, fearing they would miss this incredible opportunity!
This morning, he was picking some fresh melons and vegetables in the field to exchange for money when he suddenly heard his friend say that Sister Jiang's shop had opened.
He didn't even bother to grab the melons and vegetables from the field; he ran over as fast as he could.
Jiang Ling smiled slightly, "Okay, you can work in the shop from now on, and the wages will be as I said."
Xiao Ran was overjoyed; the gloom of the past few days vanished instantly. She nodded vigorously, "Okay! Xiao Ran will definitely work hard!"
"Okay, then you hold these watermelons for me while I go get a knife."
"Okay, Sister Jiang."
This was the first task Jiang Ling assigned him.
Xiao Ran didn't bother to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She immediately stretched out her hands and firmly held onto the two heavy, cool, green-skinned melons.
Jiang Ling and Lu Qian each brought out two more watermelons from the shop, making a total of six large watermelons, including the two that Xiao Ran was supporting.
They were laid out in a row on the long table, glossy green and very substantial.
Lu Qian looked at the round, greenish-blue object with patterns on the table and asked curiously, "Miss Jiang, what is this?"
Jiang Ling then turned around and took out a 30-centimeter watermelon knife. "This is called a watermelon. It's a kind of fruit. It's juicy, sweet, and thirst-quenching, making it perfect for cooling off in the summer."
As soon as Jiang Ling took out the watermelon knife, Lu Qian's attention was no longer on the watermelon.
This knife...
The blade is as thin as a cicada's wing, incredibly sharp, and radiates a cold, metallic sheen.
The handle appears to be made of some special hardwood, polished smooth and comfortable to hold, with fine anti-slip grooves engraved on it.
What a fine knife!
The villagers who had finished selling their vegetables gathered around, looking at the round, green object with great curiosity.
"Miss Jiang, what kind of watermelon is this?"
"Wow! This melon is huge, it must weigh seven or eight pounds!"
"I've lived all these years and I've never seen such a big melon!"
"Miss Jiang, what does this melon taste like?"
"You'll all know once you try it." Jiang Ling placed the knife on the watermelon, aimed at the middle, and cut it in one stroke.
A crisp sound rang out, and the red flesh of the melon inside was immediately revealed.
A sweet fragrance also wafts out.
This drew a chorus of exclamations!
