Chapter 170: Good news?
Qin Fangci came out of the house and called Yuan, Wang and Li Yulan to go to Du's room together.
The four of them looked at Qin Fangci nervously.
Qin Fangci didn't want to beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Now that our family's life is about to get better, do you want to keep these family assets?"
The four of them nodded together.
They want it so much!
"Then you must remember that no matter what happens, we must stick together as one, so that our boat won't capsize in the wind and waves."
Yuan swallowed hard, "Mom, what are you trying to say? You're making me feel really uneasy!"
"I might be away from home for a while, so I need you to stay home and put the house in good order. I'll put the tofu business on hold for now and restart it after we move into the new workshop. As for pork, make enough jerky to meet the Xu family's order, and we'll also suspend business in the county for a while."
Du, Yuan, Wang and Li Yulan all opened their mouths wide.
"Mom, why is this happening? We've built a workshop, and the money is flowing like water. We've spent money on bricks and tiles, and we've even dug a well. If all these businesses stop, won't we be left with no money?" Yuan was heartbroken. Not only her, but also Wang and Li Yulan were heartbroken.
Mrs. Du was not only distressed but also nervous. She was still in confinement after giving birth and her hand had not yet healed.
Qin Fangci gently held Du's trembling hand.
"I'm telling you all these are just rainy day preparations. It's like having raincoats ready before it rains, so you don't get soaked when it does. There's been some trouble in the city, and your little brother wants us to stay home for the time being, finish our chores, and don't go out and mess around, lest we get into any trouble."
Qin Fangci carefully prepared the four people mentally and took out her wallet.
"I need to go into the city. I won't feel at ease if I don't visit you guys. I might just stay in the city for a while. Take these for now. Keep a record of every single expense. I'll come back and reconcile the accounts. Whoever manages the accounts best will be given a managerial position in the workshop. This will be a test for you..."
Yuan, Wang and Li Yulan instantly became full of vigor and confidence.
"Don't worry, mom. I will definitely take good care of the money." Yuan patted Qin Fangci's chest.
Wang also nodded, her heart pounding.
Qin Fangci glanced at Yuan, and Yuan immediately stopped smiling.
"Old man, you should continue to recuperate during this period. Once the city is stable, I will invite Doctor Su back to correct your bones."
“…”
The shoes of Boss Li, Second Boss Li and Third Boss Li all disappeared.
"Mom—Mom!" Li Laoer started shouting as soon as he entered the door.
Qin Fangci brought Yuan, Wang and Li Yulan out of Du's house.
"You all should get busy. When men are in a hurry, women can hold up half the sky."
Yuan and Li Yulan straightened their backs instantly, strode back to their positions and continued working.
"Come in with me, why are you so flustered?"
"Mom, my younger brother is talking about that guy. He's in town now, right? So can he come out? Actually, I think it's okay if he doesn't come out. He's with the adults, and Mr. Pan is here, so he'll be fine. Mom, our business has stopped, and that's the big deal!"
"How can we stop? Anyway, the disease is in the county town. Let's go to the other direction to sell things..."
"Are you crazy about money? I've already decided to stop trading. I called you back to ask you three, who wants to go to the county town with me?"
"What?" Big Li and Little Li jumped back.
Qin Fangci closed her eyes. Fortunately, she had given a shot of cardiac stimulant to the Du family and the others first.
Li Laosan thought for a moment and stood up, "Mom, I'll go with you."
"Okay, then it's decided. The third child will stay at home. A house without a man is not good. The eldest and second child will go with me."
Li Lao Da and Li Lao Er: “!”
"No, mother, the third brother said so," the eldest brother Li said weakly, but was interrupted by Qin Fangci before he could finish. "You guys just retreat when something happens. With shoulders like yours, do you still expect me to hand over this family to you in the future? Even if I am willing, your father's coffin will not be able to hold it down."
"Mom, that's not what we meant. I have a lot of things to do in the workshop." Li Laoer explained.
Qin Fangci looked at the two of them coldly.
Li Lao Da and Li Lao Er both shrank their necks. Li Lao Er gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll go with you! I'll hand over the work to Lao San and let him keep an eye on it."
"I'm the most capable person in our family. I'll definitely handle this little thing with Mom. After it's over, we'll make a lot of money and build a new house!" Li Laoer patted Li Laosan's shoulder, "Laosan, come with me. I'll tell you what you need to keep an eye on."
Only Boss Li and Qin Fangci were left there.
"mother,"
"Don't say anything. Go burn some incense for your father and think about it yourself." Qin Fangci's tough attitude suddenly softened. "If you really don't want to go, I'll just take the second son with me."
After Qin Fangci finished speaking, she went out, leaving the space to Boss Li.
Boss Li wiped his face and walked to Li Mugen's tablet with a conflicted feeling.
The fragrance is lit and smoke curls up.
Boss Li knelt down and kowtowed three times, then turned and walked out.
"Mom, I'll go with you."
Qin Fangci smiled silently.
Once there is a first time, there will be a second time.
If there are storms in the future, they will be able to withstand them on their own without anyone telling them.
The mother and her two children gave everything they needed, packed their bags, and prepared to go out.
A ferocious clerk with a sword appeared at the entrance of Liantang Village.
"The messenger is coming. The messenger is coming."
The old village chief was supported by others and came to the village entrance. Seeing the unfriendly looks of the clerks, his heart skipped a beat.
"Your Excellency has come, and I apologize for not coming to greet you. I hope you will forgive me."
"Stop talking nonsense. Where is the Li family?"
The old village chief felt a pang in his heart. This attitude didn't seem like someone coming to reminisce with the Li family.
"I wonder which Li family the officer is looking for?"
The leading clerk narrowed his eyes and drew his broadsword. "What are you trying to do? There's only one family surnamed Li in Liantang Village. Lead the way quickly. If you delay any longer, I'll be the first to capture you!"
"I dare not, I dare not!" The old village chief waved his hands repeatedly, "Follow me, adults. I will lead the way for you."
The old village chief walked in front, limping with the help of a cane.
The young man who was sent to report the news rushed quickly from the small path to the door of Li's house.
"Aunt Li, Aunt Li, something bad has happened. The police are coming to your house, riding a tall horse and looking very fierce. The village chief is leading someone this way. What should I do, Aunt Li? What happened to your family?"
"What nonsense! What could possibly happen to our family? Who is that little brother of mine? He is Mr. Pan's disciple. The messenger must have come to our house to announce the good news."
