Chapter 168 Distress
Lu Shiyan looked at her mysterious expression, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay."
He doesn't like to laugh on weekdays, but when he laughs, it's like a spring breeze breaking the cold and melting the ice and snow.
Jiang Tangtang looked at him unconsciously in a daze.
The two of them looked at each other intently, and the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Lu Shiyan's Adam's apple slid unconsciously, and he slowly approached her face. Just as he was about to kiss her soft red lips, Xie Xin's voice suddenly rang out from outside, "Boss, the Ying family——"
Lu Shiyan stood up suddenly, stepped out, and stopped Xie Xin outside. "What's wrong with the Ying family?"
It was the first time Xie Xin saw such a panicked and wary look on Lu Shiyan's face, but she didn't have time to think about it at the moment. "I've been keeping an eye on the Ying family and noticed that Mr. Ying's housekeeper has been acting very strangely these past few days. It looks like he's planning to attack someone's child. Since the Ying family is celebrating our grudge, I suspect it might harm your child."
There was a chill between Lu Shiyan's eyebrows, and Xie Xin suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure.
He took a deep breath and continued, "Also, we've found evidence that the Xili and Quchun County Magistrates are colluding with pirates. We haven't found any evidence that the Raoying County Magistrate is colluding with pirates, but he's been heavily implicated in the iron ore resale..."
Aside from the Ying family, all of this was within Lu Shiyan's expectations. After listening, he pondered for a moment and said, "Go wait for me outside first."
He returned to his room after he finished speaking. Jiang Tangtang knew from his expression, "Are you going out for something again?"
Lu Shiyan nodded and told Jiang Tangtang what Xie Xin had just reported about himself, as well as the information he had found out a few days ago.
Jiang Tangtang has now become accustomed to him telling her where he is going every time he goes out, and at the same time, telling her what he is busy with outside.
Such trust made Jiang Tangtang feel at ease, and also gave her a better understanding of this era.
The government here seemed even darker than she had imagined.
And the Ying family is so hateful. They actually dared to set their sights on her child. They deserve to die.
She bit her lip angrily and said, "Go and get busy! Don't worry, I will protect the children's safety and will never let the Ying family suffer any harm."
Lu Shiyan looked at her steadily, then suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
He exerted force with his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood, but in the end, as if with extreme restraint, he slowly let go of her, "I'll leave a few people for you to use."
Jiang Tangtang's heart was pounding, and she hadn't recovered from the passionate hug just now.
She nodded dumbly.
Lu Shiyan raised his hand, rubbed her cheek with his fingertips, and said reluctantly: "I'm leaving!"
After he finished speaking, he strode out of the room.
Jiang Tangtang did not use the manpower left by Lu Shiyan for the time being, but instead made and installed the electronic anti-theft net.
The school has not been repaired yet, so the three children of the Zhou family live in the north courtyard with several other children at home. Xue Banxian and Dou Xianer take turns teaching the children.
Jiang Tangtang made some cakes and drinks and brought them over.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang, Lu Tiantian rushed over happily, "Mom!"
Jiang Tangtang smiled and patted her head, "I made your favorite little cake. Go wash your hands!"
The six-inch cake was topped with strawberries from the space and decorated with flowers using a piping bag. It looked both beautiful and sweet.
Lu Tiantian hugged Jiang Tangtang's neck and kissed her, "Mom, you are so kind."
Jiang Tangtang smiled and said, "Stop dawdling and go wash your hands."
Jiang Tangtang also urged Lu Jingcheng and his brother, along with the Zhou family's children, to wash their hands. After the children washed their hands and sat down at the table, Jiang Tangtang took out knives and plates and divided the food among them.
In addition to strawberry cake today, Jiang Tangtang also squeezed some juice. The children, Xue Banxian, and Dou Xianer all enjoyed the meal very much.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Tangtang began to think about what the children had learned these days.
Initially, she was a little worried about any omissions and the safety of the children, but after careful consideration, Jiang Tangtang felt relieved.
With the skills the children have learned and the bodyguards Lu Shiyan specially found for them, she doesn't have to worry about their safety.
Feeling relieved, Jiang Tangtang continued to busy herself with her own things.
She has already preliminarily decided on the seafood that the seafood processing plant will process. What she needs to do now is to build a workshop and configure the necessary equipment and manpower.
In order to facilitate management, the seafood processing workshop was built in Zhounanzhuang.
Of course, because of the fishy smell of seafood, it is not connected with the current residence.
The seafood processing workshop was located by the stream.
After choosing the land, Jiang Tangtang went to find Manager Xia to buy land and build a workshop.
In addition to building workshops, there is another urgent thing to do now, which is to build roads.
Except for a few roads bordering pipelines which are slightly wider, other roads in the village are relatively narrow.
Even these wider roads could only accommodate one carriage. In the past, when there were fewer carriages and horses in the village, there was no problem.
But now, a rouge workshop has been built in the village, and there are plans to build a seafood processing workshop. In the future, more and more goods will be transported, and the current small road will definitely not be enough.
Jiang Tangtang also told Manager Xia about the road construction.
Seeing Zhuangzi getting better day by day, Manager Xia didn't know what to say except gratitude.
In order to express his gratitude to Jiang Tangtang for the convenience she brought to everyone, Manager Xia took advantage of his position to measure an extra half acre of land where the Lu family built their seafood processing workshop, and the price was calculated based on the worst quality wasteland.
Although Jiang Tangtang doesn't care about this little money now, what Manager Xia does does make people feel comfortable.
Jiang Tangtang also thought more about the Xia family. Seeing Zhao Jia's sales talent, she promoted her to be the manager of Fu Yu Lou. She also called Xia Zhigui, the fourth son of the Xia family, to work for her.
After buying the land for the workshop, Jiang Tangtang began to think about how to build the workshop.
Many ancient technologies were no longer available, and her processing plant required large-scale charcoal grilling. To ensure a more uniform temperature, she consulted many books and designed a rotary oven.
After the blueprint was finished, Jiang Tangtang excitedly went to the city to find a blacksmith to see if he could make what was in the blueprint.
Jiang Tangtang went to the blacksmith shop that she often dealt with. Since they were all familiar with each other, Jiang Tangtang did not let Guo Yu follow so closely.
It was not until she felt dizzy and unsteady that Jiang Tangtang suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the shop.
Jiang Tangtang took the detoxification pill and stuffed it into her mouth, but someone knocked it away.
Looking at the kind-looking old man just now, Jiang Tangtang felt a chill in her heart. She pinched her palms tightly to keep herself awake, "You... are from the Ying family?"
Old Li said, "Jiang Dong family, I'm sorry!"
