Chapter 190 The Beast's Self-Protective Cage
Two hours later, Chen Jing'an looked at Sang Zhixia who had stood up with an unsatisfied look in her eyes, pleading: "Sister-in-law, when are you planning to move to the county town?"
Without waiting for Sang Zhixia to answer, he said to himself, "It takes too much time to go back and forth between the village and the county town. Why don't you just move to the county town and live there? That way it will be more convenient for you to come to the shop."
"How about I ask someone to help you move your things in the next two days? I'll feel at ease if they come sooner!"
Chen Jing'an didn't take Xu Yu's words seriously at first, but after talking with Sang Zhixia for an afternoon, he was greatly shocked.
If what Sang Zhixia said can be realized, then the Northwest, a place that has been ignored by the world for too long, will have great potential.
There are great ambitions ahead and mountains of gold and silver are in sight.
The way Chen Jing'an looked at Sang Zhixia at this moment was no different from the way he looked at the God of Wealth who was offered with three sticks of incense on the shrine. He really couldn't bear to let this God of Wealth with legs go.
Sang Zhixia said with a puzzled look, "Moving to the county town?"
Chen Jingan nodded vigorously.
"That's probably not possible."
Sang Zhixia explained, "All the key things I just mentioned are in the land. There's not much usable land in the county."
Living in the county town is convenient, but what about the things on the farm?
The cultivation and yield of rice seeds are the key to whether the farm can be successfully built, and no one can do this except her.
Moreover, she has only been using the technology for a short time, and the characteristics of the rice seeds she has cultivated are currently extremely unstable.
There is no shortcut to this kind of thing. The only thing we can do is to spend time experimenting and trying until we can cultivate rice varieties with relatively stable traits and excellent disease resistance and yield.
Even if that day really comes, it will be impossible for her to live in the county town forever. She still has a lot to do.
Sang Zhixia gave a general explanation, and Chen Jingan's face was full of regret.
"So, sister-in-law still has no intention of leaving the village for the time being?"
Sang Zhixia laughed dumbly: "Why would I leave the village?"
"I only have a limited understanding of business, so it's not good for me to interfere rashly. You and Xu Minghui are watching over the shop in the city, so I might as well just follow you and learn the basics first."
Sang Zhixia knew her situation.
When it comes to the quality of the crops harvested from the fields, she can explain it in detail and is not afraid at all when it comes to handling them.
But if you rashly run a grain store without understanding anything clearly, the possibility of failure is greater than the possibility of making money.
It's not about being self-deprecating, but professional matters should be left to more professional people.
It’s okay to study, but it’s not okay to be arrogant.
Chen Jing'an smiled and lowered his head after hearing this. Suddenly, he blurted out, "I'm convinced."
No wonder the two arrogant people from the Xu family always look gentle when talking about Sang Zhixia. Such temperament and conversation are indeed worth it.
Chen Jing'an couldn't keep them and didn't force them to stay. He just handed the two account books he had prepared in advance to Xu Yu before Sang Zhixia and the others left.
"Sister-in-law, to open and manage a store, you have to start with the account books. This is also the foundation of business."
"These two books are quite interesting. Take them home and read them first. If there are any parts you don't understand, you can mark them. Come to the store once in two weeks and I will explain them to you slowly."
Xu Minghui handed the snacks he brought for his family to Xu Yu, but he said to Sang Zhixia, "Don't worry, sister-in-law."
"If you have any questions at home, you can ask my mother."
Second Aunt Xu was the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Besides all sorts of treasures and gold and silver, she had the most account books since she was a child.
As long as Sang Zhixia asked, Aunt Xu would tell her everything she knew.
Sang Zhixia nodded and said yes, subconsciously looking up at Xu Yu: "Shall we go?"
We have been delayed for too long. If we don’t leave now, it will be very late when we get home.
Xu Yu stroked her wrist with his index finger and hooked it, then said with a smile, "Let's go."
Today's goal has been achieved, and all that's left is time.
There's no point in staying here for long.
Xu Yu reached out to help Sang Zhixia cross the threshold, and the two walked away side by side. Xu Yu kept turning his head and talking to Sang Zhixia, who was holding his hand. The curve of his eyebrows and eyes on his side face was indescribably soft.
Chen Jing'an squinted until the figure was no longer visible. He sighed in amazement and said with great amusement, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed such a scene even if someone else told me about it."
Xu Minghui really didn't bother to respond to his useless sighs. He pushed the small table in front of him and stood up. "I have something else to do over there. I won't be coming over until we get things done."
"oh?"
Chen Jingan lazily picked at his ears and said slowly, "Don't you need help?"
"unnecessary."
Xu Minghui straightened his collar and spoke with a tone of lingering sarcasm: "It's just a loach wallowing in the mud. If it mistakenly thinks it's a real dragon, then this loach is really mistaken."
"The result will make him realize who he is."
Chen Jing'an clicked his tongue twice without saying much. After Xu Minghui left through the back door, he touched his chin and couldn't help but sneer.
He said that this kind of arrogance that looks down on everything and makes people want to smash his face is the true face of Xu Minghui.
As for the gentleness and patience that Xu Yu and Xu Minghui showed when Sang Zhixia was alive, it can only be explained as a touching tacit understanding between cousins.
That's fine.
Chen Jing'an grabbed the tea on the table that had already gone cold and drank it all in one gulp. He turned the teacup between his fingers and smiled faintly.
The sharp claws of wild beasts can hurt others as well as themselves.
Neither Xu Yu nor Xu Minghui are good people. They are both cruel and ruthless. They were exiled here because of the crimes committed by the Xu family. Their bloody chests are constantly sharpening like terrifying knives. It is impossible to say when they will lose control and go crazy.
Having such a person around is like putting a cage for the mad beast to protect itself.
With Sang Zhixia, the thing he has been worrying about might not happen...
Sang Zhixia had no idea what she meant in Chen Jing'an's eyes. After returning home, she was caught in the collective accusations of people of all ages.
Deeply sad.
Xu Wenxiu was a good-tempered person, as gentle as a clay figure. No matter how big the problem was, she would just lower her head and wipe away her tears. She rarely argued with others. However, after listening to the medical advice repeated by Xu Yu word for word, she rarely got really angry.
"Tell me what's going on? I told you not to take it lightly or carelessly, and told you to remember the doctor's advice and take good care of him. Why won't you listen?"
Second Aunt Xu was a fiery-tempered woman to begin with. As she brought her sister-in-law and younger siblings into frequent contact with the owner of the embroidery shop and assumed the primary responsibility for the family's income, her words became even more pointed. "Except for those bastards who keep actresses and play with prostitutes, I've never heard anyone say someone so young could be so deficient in energy and blood that their lifespan would be affected."
"Xia girl, what's wrong with you?"
Aunt Xu couldn't say anything too sharp, and her expression was filled with obvious displeasure: "Even so, he still insists that he's fine. If it weren't for the old man's pressure, I'm afraid Xu Yu wouldn't be able to move and wouldn't want to see a doctor or get medicine."
This time, Xu Yu and Sang Zhixia are really not on the same side.
He returned home and repeated Doctor Hu's words, then squatted beside him with a basket of vegetables, watching Sang Zhixia being drowned in saliva with cold eyes.
What he said himself was really useless, and he even felt that the criticism was not light enough after he used other people's words.
The little ones nearby didn't understand much, but they could sense something from the adults' serious expressions. They stood neatly by the side, and their eyes were full of disapproval when they looked at Sang Zhixia.
Xu Mingyang spoke frankly: "Sister-in-law, you are such a grown-up, how can you not be obedient?"
The remaining three little ones nodded in agreement.
Xu Yanran said earnestly: "Sister-in-law, you must be obedient."
Xu Jinxi was kindhearted. Seeing Sang Zhixia drooping her head and not saying a word, he ran over and hugged her arms, shaking them and saying softly, "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. Second brother bought us some candy. I'll save it all for you. Eat it when you take your medicine!"
Xu Mingxu also rushed over, holding his little bag of candy, and Xu Yanran followed closely behind.
Xu Mingyang touched his purse which only had a few sugar crumbs left, his face full of regret.
It’s all because he has too many little kids to lead.
He got a bag of candies, but he only ate one himself after sharing them out. His kindness was really in vain!
Sang Zhixia was originally feeling guilty and depressed, but when surrounded by these little ones, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and suddenly she felt the confidence to defend herself.
She cleared her throat and said, "Actually, I didn't..."
"You still dare to be stubborn?"
The old man, who had been silent the entire time, looked at Sang Zhixia with an ambiguous expression. Sang Zhixia's eyes flickered and she lowered her head guiltily: "Grandfather, I won't be stubborn anymore."
"I was wrong. I was really wrong."
