"Huh?" Rong Hua was taken aback.
The magistrate smiled and said, "Han Chan and her brother don't have anyone suitable to help them right now, but they trust you a lot, so go and help them! Besides, Han Tao is a smart kid, but he's not very willing to interact with people. This is a good opportunity for him to gain experience, so take him with you! I'm sure he'll compromise and make concessions for his sister and their family, and won't give you too much of a headache!"
As for her older sister, Han Chan, her injuries haven't healed yet, so she'll stay at Huimin Medical Clinic for now. Once her injuries are almost fully recovered, she'll go back and oversee the construction of their new home!
Rong Hua: "..." His own problems hadn't been resolved yet, and he was suddenly asked to help Han Chan and her brother build a house.
But upon closer reflection, if I don't help, then no one else will.
Han Tao's temper is really too strange. I guess if I let him do it himself, he won't listen to other people's help.
“But my greenhouse…” Rong Hua still wanted to set up the greenhouse, after all, the weather would get really cold in a while, and it wouldn’t be right if it wasn’t set up!
"Don't worry, we won't let you down! All the people in Wenhong County are helping you and Anning Village, so you don't need to worry about the greenhouses not being able to be built! Now, go back to Huimin Clinic and tell your father to put aside his work at the clinic and go home to take care of things at home first! Your fourth brother hasn't fully recovered yet, your second brother isn't here, and your third brother seems to be quite busy lately. Because of your aunt's connections, I've heard a bit of what's going on. So your family is relying on your father!"
Rong Hua nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Uncle. I will take Han Chan and her brother back to the clinic and tell my father everything!"
"Go!" the magistrate waved his hand.
Rong Hua respectfully withdrew from the inner hall, led Han Chan and her brother back to the clinic in a carriage, and after settling them in, she found Rong Dong'an and told him everything that had happened that day.
Upon hearing the news, Rong Dong'an was stunned. "Rong Hua, you're not lying to your father?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Ronghua said helplessly, "It was the county magistrate who said it in court. Many people heard it, and my uncle even called me to the back room and specifically told me about it. If you don't believe me, you can go to the county office to find my uncle. Otherwise, my uncle will be too busy to take care of you!"
Rong Dong'an immediately put down what he was doing and went to the county government office to find out the truth.
As soon as Rong Dong'an left, Rong Sheng came out of the ward. As soon as she came out, she saw Rong Dong'an leaving in a hurry. She raised her eyebrows in confusion, went to Rong Hua's side, and asked him.
Rong Hua recounted the story again. After listening, Rong Sheng said, "The magistrate's actions have helped the people and you! However, you must make it clear to the magistrate that building the shed is your business, not the county government's. We can use the county government's resources to get the people to help us, but providing money or food and lodging is our family's responsibility. Don't let the county government have to put in the effort and then pay for it! Because this is your property, brother!! Not the government's!!"
"Shengbao, do you think it's okay for the magistrate to help us?" Ronghua asked.
Rong Sheng said, "Brother, we've been trying to figure out how to take the first step—to persuade our parents or clansmen to agree to sell or lease the land to you. But the methods we considered before always involved heated arguments with our parents, clansmen, or other villagers, which might have made us enemies of everyone! But now it's different. With the county magistrate as our backer, no one will disagree. Even if they do disagree, it'll only be because the money hasn't been paid in time, or because people are greedy! This situation is entirely advantageous for us!"
It's absolutely perfect!
“But I still don’t know who told the magistrate about the greenhouse that Sheng Bao told me about?” Rong Hua stared at Rong Sheng. He knew in his heart that it wasn’t Rong Sheng, because Rong Sheng had been in the hospital all day long and hadn’t left the clinic. How could she have told the magistrate about this?
As for the third brother, he was so busy he was completely overwhelmed. He had sold out all the rouge and powder he took, and even took down the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so he simply didn't have time to pay attention to them!
“I think I know who it is!” Rong Sheng said mysteriously, “Since that person doesn’t want to show themselves, but you will find out in the future, so don’t worry about it, brother! Just focus on doing your own thing. As for the money, I will find a way to help you! If you are not at ease with the money, just pay me back double when you have a lot of money in the future!”
"Okay!" Not just double, but ten times is fine too!
The fact that the area of land being bought or leased has increased significantly indicates that Gu Beiyi agrees to the construction of the greenhouse. If they're going to do it, they should do it on a large scale, trying to buy or lease as much unclaimed land as possible.
"Brother, since this is such a big matter, after you return and the magistrate has allocated the houses and land, estimate how much money is needed. No matter the cost, you must tell me, and I will definitely find a way to get the money!" Rong Sheng said seriously.
"Big brother, you must remember, if you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another one! Our family and our clan can't come up with that much money. Third brother's Xiaoxiang Pavilion is very profitable, but he just took over the pavilion, and we don't know what the future holds! So big brother, don't hold back from telling me just to save face~ Otherwise, this opportunity will slip through your fingers!"
Then, even if you don't tell me, someone else will, and the money will quickly get into your hands so you can buy or rent the land and build greenhouses!
However, a little bit of silver is far from enough; a large amount of silver, countless amounts of silver, is needed.
Ronghua felt a little bad, thinking he was useless for having to ask his sister for help. But when it came to finding a way on his own, he really couldn't raise the money in a short time!
“Shengbao, I feel uneasy using your money unless you tell me how to quickly gather so much silver?” Ronghua stared intently at Rong Sheng and asked.
Rong Sheng said, "Where would I get so much silver? The only way to get that much silver quickly is to borrow it! But who can I borrow from? It's that person who told the magistrate about you building the greenhouse! He's rich! Very rich! Extremely rich! But we have to pay him back!"
Then it's about treating the sick and saving lives, but not the poor, only the rich! We also need to produce a lot of rouge and face powder so Third Brother can sell them for money! This way, the money won't come quickly; we'll have to wait! Maybe when you need the money, Big Brother, we won't have enough silver to spare!
But don't worry, big brother, that person is very good, extremely good. He's helped me a lot. However, I won't tell you who he is for now. I can only say that you'll find out in three months at most!
Perhaps it won't take three months, after all, the snow disaster won't happen in three months!
