"I was thinking that since we've been so successful at raising these things, why not add one more thing and have them come over to help?"
"I won't say much more, just give them each one tael of silver a month..." Sister Qiu said this with a hint of embarrassment, clearly seeking Luo Yunhe's consent.
"Sister Qiu, how are they?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. They are honest and upright people. They just want to find stable jobs. That's why I thought of you. In addition, if we raise some chickens, we can eat the eggs ourselves or sell them. Wouldn't we not have to go out to buy eggs for the New Year?"
“Okay. I remember that area to the north was left to grow some pasture, right? And a little further east, isn’t there a ravine? Go back and ask the village chief if anyone wants that area. If no one wants it, we’ll buy it and build a chicken coop there!”
"Okay, I'll go right now!"
After obtaining Luo Yunhe's consent, Sister Qiu's efficiency improved significantly. After visiting the village chief's house and learning that no one in that area wanted the goods, Sister Qiu quickly got the job done.
"We got it! The village chief said you've done a lot for the village this time, so consider that piece of land a gift to us!"
Look, we've even brought the land deed; the location and size are clearly marked.
Looking at the contents of the land deed, Luo Yunhe thought about how such a large plot of land had been given to her. Then she thought about how there were many ditches there, infested with lice, and probably no one would want to plant there. That's why the village chief had been so generous in giving it to her.
"Alright, Sister Qiu, go and contact the workers now! Try to get this done this year. Since your brother and sister-in-law are coming to help, they'll need to stay, so let's build them two houses and cut the rest into chicken coops."
Also, what I'm worried about now is that there might be some rats or wolves that will harm these chickens.
I'll go to town and order some more wire mesh later. Once the chicken rolls are finished, I'll surround the whole area with that mesh too.
Sister Qiu certainly knew what those nets he was talking about were; just look at the vineyards they'd set up. With such tight security, it was only right that the chicken coops were also well-maintained.
"Okay, I understand!"
He left the chicken coop business to Sister Qiu and stopped worrying about it. He stayed in Yue Shang Village for another five or six days, and after he had dealt with things there, he distributed a lot of wine to each shop. On the tenth day, he hurriedly headed to the county town.
Butler Wang had already written down everything he had found out, as well as the operational status of Luo Qing Winery, on a piece of paper, waiting for Luo Yunhe to return and review it.
When Luo Yunhe saw the contents of the paper, his expression became very concerned, because every shop, including Luo Qing Winery, was in debt.
The most crucial point is that Li Muran was behind all these debts.
Without him having to think too much, he knew exactly whose family Li Muran had given that money to.
"Steward Wang, what about the Luo family's land?"
Upon hearing this, Steward Wang's face immediately showed a Jiangnan expression. After hesitating for a moment, he finally revealed the result.
Upon hearing this result, Luo Yunhe became furious and, without saying a word, slammed her hand on the table and sat down.
"Report to the authorities! They must return whatever amount they took!"
"yes!"
Steward Wang went directly to the yamen, and soon after, the yamen dispatched an eight-person team.
"Miss Luo, we have heard about your situation. Since the other party took your family's things for free, you can go and ask for them back now!"
Luo Yunhe nodded, and together with the officials and Steward Wang, they marched in a grand procession toward Li Muran's hometown.
His home was in a small village on the outskirts of the county town. It wasn't rich, but it wasn't poor either; it was somewhere in between.
Their large group of people appeared in the village and quickly attracted a lot of attention.
When Luo Yunhe, who used to chase after Li Muran, suddenly appeared here, the villagers naturally recognized her.
For a while, everyone was whispering among themselves, but the news of what happened to Li Muran had not yet reached their village.
After all, most people in the village knew that the third young master of the Li family was very successful; he married into the family and even became a big boss.
When this group of people appeared, they were all whispering among themselves, and some even followed behind.
The Li family.
They were all furious when we managed to get some benefits from Li Muran last time. Now that Li Muran has gotten into this mess, they're all hiding at home like tortoises, too scared to go out.
After all, Li Muran did receive a lot of benefits after going to the Luo family, and even the land they are currently cultivating belongs to the Luo family.
"Bang! If you ask me, this is all my third brother's fault. If he had been more generous and given us more money, even if he's in jail now, we wouldn't be living such a miserable life!"
"That's right, Third Brother is so selfish. He lives a life of luxury all day long, but he won't take us with him. Not to mention, he won't even give us any money. Now look what's happened, he's in jail and he's dragged us down with him!"
The family members were all complaining. They thought that if they hadn't run away quickly that day, the fire might have burned them instead. No one was hurt because Li Muran had sacrificed so much for them, and now he was in jail and they were still complaining about him behind his back.
While they were arguing fiercely, the door was banged on, and the person banging on the door was very rude.
Already in a bad mood, the Li family members were immediately enraged by the impolite knocking on the door and began to hurl insults.
When they angrily opened the door and saw the people standing there, they all shut their mouths, their eyes filled with fear, and some even instinctively wanted to close the door.
Luo Yunhe stared at the place where the Li family now lived and couldn't help but click her tongue several times. After all, the original owner had seen the Li family's houses before, which were just mud-brick houses. In just a few years, they had all moved into brick and tile houses, and even two-story buildings.
Look at the Li family now, everything they eat, wear, and adorn is exquisite, even better than what the eldest daughter of the Luo family wears and adorns. It's clear they've reaped considerable benefits over the years.
"Officers, what are you doing in my house? My family hasn't broken any laws, and what Li Muran did outside has nothing to do with us!"
"Yes, yes, yes. What Li Muran did only means that it has nothing to do with us. If you want to find him, go find him."
