Chapter 18 Now is not a good time



Chapter 18 Now is not a good time

That was not the well water in the yard.

Instead, it was the spiritual spring water that Liang Huanxue scooped out from the space.

After pouring the water, it's time to mix it well.

Naturally, the heavy work had to be given to Liang Wenxuan.

After mixing well, make a hole in the middle so that the rice wine can ferment faster.

After digging the hole, compact the surrounding areas and seal the altar.

By the time the jars of rice wine were sealed, it was already getting dark.

Nian Huayue opened the door of the cellar and moved the altar in with Liang Wenxuan.

"It seems you need to recruit another assistant, otherwise how can you take care of so many things by yourself? Can you go and talk to County Magistrate Fu?" Nian Huayue felt sorry for his son.

Today, the three sisters-in-law helped here, and it took them so long to make the rice wine.

If Wenxuan were alone, who knows how long he would have to work.

"Mom, it won't be too late to talk about the partnership after these bottles of rice wine are sold." Liang Wenxuan was not in a position to bring this up yet.

"That's true. Once we sell the rice wine and make some money, it will be much easier to deal with this matter! Cousin, Wenxuan is capable and you don't need to worry so much about him!" Shen Yuefu also felt that now was not a good time.

"When the shop's business is doing well, we'll talk about this matter. When County Magistrate Fu sees that Wenxuan has built this shop on his own, he'll probably be very moved!" Wang Xifen also said.

Liang Huanxue didn't think of this.

But if you think about it carefully, County Magistrate Fu doesn't look like a capitalist who would exploit others, so he should be very moved to see Liang Wenxuan being so down-to-earth and hardworking, right?

I will also feel that I have a good vision for picking such a person.

She must find a way to make Liang Wenxuan earn fifty taels of silver within six months so that he can take over the rice wine shop.

By then, won't the employees in this store have the final say? They no longer have to care about other people's opinions.

It was already late, so Liang Wenxuan specially found a carriage to send a few people back.

"Why are you wasting money? Can't we just walk back?" It would cost a lot of money to rent a carriage from here to home.

The years are painful.

Money should be spent where it counts.

"Mom, you know that the world is not peaceful. You are walking on the road in the middle of the night. It's hard to say what kind of things you will encounter. I am really worried about you taking Xue'er with you in the dark. I have already given you the money. Hurry up and get on the carriage!"

Liang Wenxuan urged them to get on the carriage and watched it leave the city gate before returning to the shop.

After riding in Zhang's carriage on the way to escape famine, they never rode in a carriage again.

At most it's a bullock cart, which is already very rare.

The carriage was much faster than walking, and in less than an hour, it took them to the village entrance.

Several people got off the carriage and walked quickly home.

As soon as I entered, I heard Liu Chunhua's voice, "You're back, come back, let's eat, I'm starving. On weekdays, if I don't come back, no one will wait for me, but if they don't come back, they can wait until dark!"

The food had been prepared long ago and was being heated on the stove.

When Old Lady Liang saw them coming back, she quickly asked Liang Yuanwang to bring out the food and put it on the table.

"Didn't you go to sell rouge? Why did you bring all of it back? I told you, the people in Renxian City are so noble, they wouldn't use your lousy stuff!"

"Mom, I have good news for you."

"Hmph, what good news can there be?"

Nian Huayue told County Magistrate Fu what happened in his residence that morning.

"Fortunately, Xue'er is smart, otherwise Wenxuan would have suffered!" Liang Yuanshan heard the chopsticks stop in mid-air, and he didn't let go of his anxious heart until he caught the real thief.

"Isn't it? If Wenxuan is arrested as a thief, our Liang family will also lose face. We may not be able to survive in this village in the future!" Liang Yuanwang also sighed.

If that's the case, they might just have to move out and live somewhere else.

"Xue'er is really the lucky star of our Liang family. If it weren't for Gu Qiao'er encountering this incident today, I dare not imagine the consequences." Old Mrs. Liang also felt a chill down her spine.

Once the charge is established, there is no way to clear it even if you jump into the Yellow River.

Who cares what kind of person Liang Wenxuan was in the past? All they will remember is that he was a thief who stole valuable things from his master's house.

The reputation that the Liang family had worked so hard to build up would vanish in an instant.

"Didn't you say there was good news? Is this good news?" Liu Chunhua pouted, "This is the first time I've seen someone say being wrongly accused is good news."

Nian Huayue was in a good mood and didn't bother to talk to her. She continued, "County Magistrate Fu wronged Wenxuan and felt guilty, so he gave the rice wine shop to Wenxuan to manage. Wenxuan, he became the shopkeeper!"

“Bang—”

The bowl in Liang Yuanliang's hand fell to the ground, and the glory was sacrificed.

"Are you telling the truth?" At this moment, he no longer cared about the bowl, he just wanted to know whether the news was true or not.

"How could it be false? We helped Wenxuan in that shop for an entire afternoon, and he hired someone to send us back in a carriage!" Nian Huayue smiled widely.

When Wenxuan said he wanted to work at County Magistrate Fu's house, she was afraid that her son would have to be a servant for the rest of his life.

Who would have thought that in just one year, he would already be able to stand out.

"My son has become the shopkeeper! Mother, did you hear that? My son has become the shopkeeper! Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, did you hear me? My son is the shopkeeper now!"

Liang Yuanliang was so excited that he was incoherent. He wished he could tell everyone about this news right away so that everyone would know how promising his son was!

"I heard it, I heard it! It really proves the old saying, what's it called..." Old Mrs. Liang had limited knowledge and couldn't figure out how to say that sentence.

"I don't know, but it's not a bad thing anyway!" Liang Yuanwen and Liang Huanxue spoke at the same time.

Old Lady Liang laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, that's it! Even though he was wrongly accused of stealing, if that weren't the case, County Magistrate Fu wouldn't have let him be the shopkeeper because he felt sorry for him."

"In fact, County Magistrate Fu has always valued Wenxuan, and that's why he didn't report the matter to the authorities. If it were someone else, how could they have received such treatment?" Nian Huayue didn't want people to think that her son was able to get the position of shopkeeper just because of luck.

He also put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.

"Wenxuan has always been an honest and hard-working child. He can make a name for himself wherever he is." Old Mrs. Liang saw what Nian Huayue was thinking and complimented him.

"If I don't sell this rouge today, I'll try again tomorrow. I don't believe that no one will buy it. Even if I sell just one, it will be considered a success!" Wang Xifen was still thinking about selling rouge.

She didn't want Liu Chunhua to catch her and make fun of them.
