Chapter 311 The Lin Family is Targeted
Xu Qingye didn't bring any books with him, and went straight to bed after returning to the room.
He glanced at the quilt on his body, then turned to look at the girl next to him, moved his lips, but in the end did not ask the question he wanted to ask.
then.
That night, Song Yuntang almost treated him as a heater and slept close to him the entire night.
…
The next day, the two of them had a quick bite to eat, and then Xu Qingye took Song Yuntang to the farm.
He told her to be careful on her way home in the afternoon and then went to the county town.
I didn't go to Tang Mansion yesterday afternoon, and if I don't go today, it would be difficult to explain to the teacher.
He will take part in the autumn examination next year, and time is tight, so he cannot be careless.
Otherwise, if you fail the exam, you will have to wait for three years.
Song Yuntang first went to take a look around the yard that Song Cheng and Song Mazi were responsible for building.
The main doors and windows of the house have been built, the floor inside the house is paved with blue bricks, and except for the area reserved for planting flowers and plants, the rest of the yard has been paved with bluestone slabs.
It feels very smooth when stepped on.
It can be seen that these people put some thought into it.
Now, we just have to wait for the walls to be painted, the furniture to be ready, and the toilet and kitchen to be cleaned up before we can move in.
After walking around the room, people who were working on the farm came one after another.
Excluding the few people who had already gone to work in the tavern, the eight people who built the house and made bamboo pots on the farm, plus the wages of Tu Shi, Song Jinsheng and Miao, the total amount was eleven taels of silver.
"As you all know, my shop was smashed. Next, we have to put the bamboo pot issue aside for now. We will widen the wooden shed and add walls next to it. We won't use bamboo pots for future products. I will go to the kiln factory to order some porcelain bottles and pots."
Everyone looked at each other.
“If we don’t make bamboo pots anymore, what should we do?”
Song Yuntang looked at them.
"You help me produce what I need. Once the shed is built and the tools are ready, I will arrange all the details for you. You have followed me for such a long time, you should know what kind of person I am. In the future, as long as you don't betray me, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."
Qiao Da hurriedly said, "We are all from the same village, we are related, so naturally we won't do something like stabbing someone in the back."
Song Yuntang looked at him.
"Uncle Qiao, you will be responsible for widening the wooden shed and adding walls. I will reserve some money for my Fang Tianci when the time comes. You can ask him for money if you need it."
Qiao Da nodded, "Okay."
"Uncle Cheng and Brother Mazi will be in charge of the yard on the farm. You should also find a way to help me fix the greenhouse for the pepper seedlings. I will come back next month to see the results."
Song Cheng and Song Mazi also nodded.
"no problem."
"Tu Shi, you will go to the county town with me this afternoon, and you will follow me for the next period of time."
"Yes." Tu Shi replied.
Song Yuntang turned his gaze to Miao who was not far away.
"Aunt Miao, if you can't take care of the chickens, ducks and fields on the farm by yourself, when Wencheng comes back, I'll ask him to arrange a few hardworking and honest people to come to the farm to help you. You can take care of it for the next few days."
"Ah." Miao said, "The chickens and ducks are fine. It's not time for them to lay eggs yet. After feeding them every day, I just check if there are any sick chickens. With Da Huang and Jiang Jun watching the mountain, no one dares to come. As for the work in the fields, if Tu Shi is not here, I really can't take care of it by myself."
Tu Shi is a good hand at farm work.
One is better than three.
Song Yuntang looked at Song Jinsheng.
"Brother, Mu Dong and Mu Qiu will go to the county town to find me in two days. You should go with them. I will tell you the details of the arrangements after you get to the county town."
Since the affairs of the farm are handed over to Qiao Da, and several cousins are present, there shouldn't be any problems. It would be better for the second brother to be responsible for the transportation of goods with Mu Dong.
Song Jinsheng responded, "Okay, then I will go back to Rongshu Village in the next two days and talk to my parents about this matter."
Song Yuntang instructed, "Also, you should tell your parents about your engagement, so that they won't match you up with other girls again."
Song Jinsheng chuckled and scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
The rest exploded.
"What? Jinsheng is engaged?" The person who spoke looked at Song Jinsheng, "You've been holding back a lot of noise and are going to make a big splash."
"Whose girl is this? Why haven't we heard any news about her before?"
"When is the wedding? You must invite us to the wedding banquet then."
"Jinsheng, what you did was not fair. We were together every day, and you didn't say a word."
Song Jinsheng smiled awkwardly.
"Actually, I don't know who the other person is. This marriage was arranged for me by Tang'er."
After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Song Yuntang.
Looking at everyone's eyes, Song Yuntang just smiled and said mysteriously, "Everyone will know after a while."
No one got a definite answer, and everyone became more and more curious.
"Still keeping us in suspense."
…
After arranging things at the farm, it was already 9:00 p.m. Song Yuntang asked Tu Shi to pack his luggage and took him to Huajianzui.
Ever since the Feicui Xuan changed its owner, business has been far worse than before.
Huajianzui's business has always been good.
Fang Tianci took the account book and reconciled the accounts with Song Yuntang.
It has been a total of ten days from the last reconciliation to yesterday, and the shop has actually received 118 taels of silver.
Together with the one hundred and fifty-nine taels from the previous seventeen days, the total is two hundred and seventy-seven taels.
There are still two days left.
The task that was said to be worth two hundred taels is now almost worth three hundred taels.
"You have completed the tasks this month very well. I will certainly pay you what I promised you before." After Song Yuntang distributed the wages to everyone one by one, he handed the five taels of silver awarded to the shop to Fang Tianci. "Brother Tianci will distribute the reward silver according to everyone's contribution. I believe he will give everyone a satisfactory amount."
"Starting from next month, Fang Tianci will be officially appointed as the shopkeeper of Huajianzui, and his salary will increase by 500 coins."
Fang Tianci clasped his fists and saluted towards Song Yuntang.
"Thank you, girl."
"Right now, the business in our shop has gradually stabilized. When the time is right, I will open another shop in the county town. Everyone, be prepared. I will mobilize some people to go to the county town when the time comes."
"But there's no need to rush. Opening a new shop should be next year. The market is not good right now. In the next period of time, it would be great if the income from the shop can stabilize the expenses of the shop and the farm."
After that, they discussed some things with everyone. Seeing that it was time for dinner, in order to avoid being hungry on the road, Song Yuntang and Tu Shi ate in the shop before leaving.
She did not rush to rent a carriage, but went to Heyang Street first.
On the way, I heard many people talking about the Lin family.
It seemed that a lot of villagers poured into Cile Town today, all heading to the Lin family. Some of the fierce ones stood outside the Lin residence with their hands on their hips and cursed, and the curses were very ugly.
Some were even more extreme, throwing feces directly into the Lin residence and running away without even being caught.
The entire Lin Mansion was filled with a stench.
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she fell ill.
Lin Zhaozhao didn't even dare to go out of the door, and her face was covered with lumps due to her anxiety.
The housekeeper of the Lin residence spent the whole morning looking for a doctor all over the town, but the doctors didn't know what was going on. They were all very busy. They were either going to this village or being delayed by patients in that village.
