Chapter 18: Excessive Use of the Five Elements Technique
Aunt Zhou, who had wanted her to stay for dinner, couldn't bear to see how tired she looked, so she swallowed back the words she was about to say.
The white fox stood up and fell back onto the chair.
It's really because I used the Five Elements Technique too much, and my whole body is sore.
"Yaoyao, I'll take you back!"
Uncle Zhou found the ox cart at home, padded it with soft bedding, and Aunt Zhou helped her get on the cart.
He also stuffed a few freshly cooked hot eggs into her arms.
"Yaoyao, don't worry, we won't tell anyone about this. You saved Heng'er, which means you saved our whole family. We will remember your kindness forever! Go home quickly, eat these two eggs and have a rest." Aunt Zhou was afraid that she would be cold, so she put the hood on her cloak on her.
Baihu Yaoyao was really tired, her face pale, "Okay! Thank you, auntie."
In that situation, if she didn't save him, Zhou Heng would have to wait for death.
Although she is very tired now, she has no regrets at all.
The ox cart swayed along the road, and heavy snow fell. It started snowing again.
Uncle Zhou was afraid that the ox cart would shake her, so he walked slowly and wiped his tears as he walked.
"Uncle Zhou, who are those people who want to take Heng'er away? Why do they have to take him away?" Baihu Yaoyao couldn't help but feel curious.
Uncle Zhou sighed. Thinking of the people in his clan, his heart felt as cold as ice chips in the winter.
"The Zhou family has been making a living as blacksmiths for generations. You could say the entire Zhoujia Village used to make a living as blacksmiths. Later, because blacksmithing was hard and tiring, everyone in Zhoujia Village started farming in the village, and we were the only blacksmiths left."
"With all the wars and chaos in recent years, iron and stone have been controlled by the government, so we blacksmiths have had little business."
"I originally thought the colored glaze you mentioned was great, and planned to convert the workshop into a colored glaze workshop. However, the people from Zhoujia Village were all against it. I ignored them and decided to renovate the workshop. I originally wanted to melt the remaining iron stone into molten iron to make some tools, but I didn't expect those people from Zhoujia Village to deliberately push over the furnace. Heng Ge'er was not far away, and the molten iron poured onto his back!"
Uncle Zhou was shaking with anger, his eyes filled with hatred. "How did my brother Heng offend them? They actually wanted to kill my brother Heng just to prevent me from renovating the workshop!"
Baihu Yaoyao was also amused by those people's train of thought. There are actually such weird things?
"Uncle Zhou, I heard that my aunt agreed to sever ties with the Zhou family with the head of the Zhou family. Uncle Zhou, what do you think?"
Those people in Zhoujia Village treated them like this just for a broken workshop. If you still continue to work with them, you are a fool.
Uncle Zhou wiped his tears and said, "I agree with your aunt! Our family will be better off if we leave the Zhou family! It's just a pity for that workshop."
Actually, that workshop did not belong to Zhoujia Village, but was passed down from generation to generation in his family. In the eyes of the people in Zhoujia Village, that workshop was the public property of Zhoujia Village.
The people in Zhoujia Village had never cared about this workshop before, but now that he wanted to renovate the workshop, they were trying to stop him.
"Uncle Zhou, what's the big deal? We can just buy the workshop. I'll pay for it."
If this workshop can produce colored glass in the future, it will definitely be a profitable business. Buying it now is a good investment.
Let the people in Zhoujia Village see that Uncle Zhou and his family are still prosperous even after leaving the Zhou family.
"Yaoyao, that's not something you can say. Do you know how big that workshop is? Even if it's bought out, it would cost a thousand taels of silver. It doesn't matter. Even without that workshop, we can still produce our colored glaze."
Uncle Zhou wondered how a girl like her could have so much money?
She is their family's savior, why would they let her spend money again?
"Uncle Zhou, don't worry! I have plenty of money! Go write a letter of severance to the people in Zhoujia Village tomorrow, and buy that workshop while you're at it. My house is still waiting for you to put up the glass windows."
The windows of the restaurant were temporarily covered with oil paper, which did block the air out, but it was still dark!
Candles should be lit in the house during the day.
She had lived in a dark place for a long time and no longer wanted to stay in a dark place.
"This?" Uncle Zhou blushed a little.
He is a grown man, but he is not as decisive as a girl.
"Uncle Zhou, don't be embarrassed. This is my investment. When our Liuli Factory makes a lot of money, you can give me the money."
This Liulichang will definitely be a golden nest in the future. How could she give up this opportunity to make money?
Uncle Zhou was deeply moved. That workshop was the result of the hard work of several generations of his family, and he definitely didn't want to give it away for nothing.
He wanted to continue renovating the workshop, and those people from Zhoujia Village might come to cause trouble again.
If we spend money to buy the workshop, those people in Zhoujia Village will have no reason to stop us.
It's like spending money to buy some peace and quiet.
"Yaoyao! Uncle Zhou swears that from now on, our family is yours and we will never do anything to betray you. The business of the workshop is all yours. All you have to do is give us a place to live and a meal to eat."
After seeing the special abilities of the white fox Yaoyao with his own eyes, he thought to himself that he must follow her closely in the future.
Such people will definitely achieve great things in the future, so it is better to hold on to their thighs in advance.
Baihu Yaoyao's mouth twitched, "Uncle Zhou, I will trouble you with the business of the workshop from now on. I will only take 30%, and you still have the final say in the workshop."
This can be considered her first business since coming here, right?
Long-term business is the way to make money!
"Okay, uncle will listen to you."
When the ox cart arrived at the door of the restaurant, Old Man and his companions had already finished their work and left, and they even closed the door for her.
I feel a little guilty for not cooking for Grandpa Gu and the others today.
"Yaoyao, go back and rest first! I'll come see you with your aunt after I'm done with my business."
Uncle Zhou turned the ox cart around and prepared to leave.
Baihu Yaoyao quickly took out the silver note from her purse, "Uncle Zhou, this is 1,500 taels of silver. Take it and buy the workshop. You can use the rest to buy raw materials."
Uncle Zhou nodded vigorously while holding the banknote, then drove away in the ox cart.
Baihu Yaoyao opened the door and entered the restaurant. The first floor had been renovated and cleaned.
I really had no strength left, so I sat on a stool on the first floor and fell asleep on the table.
She had just managed to talk to Uncle Zhou all the way, which was already her limit.
The sky gradually darkened.
Pedestrians hurried home on the streets at night. The streets were quiet with only the sound of falling snowflakes.
As soon as midnight arrived, the two lanterns hanging at the restaurant entrance lit up without warning, flickering a dim light in the dark night.
When Heilong saw the lights come on, excitement flashed across his stern face.
When the restaurant's entrance appeared in front of him, a pair of long legs strode into the restaurant quickly.
"Yaoyao, look what I brought you?" Black Dragon was holding an exquisite food box in his hand.
The room was quiet and there was a chill in the air.
When I saw the white fox Yaoyao actually fell asleep on the table, panic flashed through my heart for no reason.
"Yaoyao." Black Dragon ran over quickly.
The last time he came here, there was a brazier burning in the house and it wasn't this cold.
Seeing the white fox Yaoyao falling asleep on the table in such a cold place, I felt heartbroken.
He took out a fiery red bead and placed it in her hand to keep her from getting too cold.
"Yaoyao, I'm sorry."
Black Dragon picked her up carefully. The little girl nestled in his broad arms, so soft that his heart melted.
When he reached the second floor and saw the dilapidated house, Heilong couldn't help but frown.
This house on the second floor is even more dilapidated than the one below.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms. How much suffering had she endured?
Thank you for the reward from Yanyulouzhongyirenzui_Da, thank you for your support.
I would also like to thank those who voted for and liked this book.
