Three days later, the Wang family's martial arts troupe officially set off to deliver the goods to the capital, and also brought a letter written by Jiang Jiuniang's family, thus putting Jiang Jiuniang's business to rest.
The following days were spent looking for shops in the city; if they seemed suitable, we would buy them; if not, we would buy them at a high price.
When she does business, she always buys the shops; renting is unreliable, leads to endless troubles, and is too much of a hassle.
After that, I contacted people who raise chickens and ducks to discuss cooperation. There are no dedicated farms now; they are all raised by the people themselves.
At that time, land was not scarce, and people could fence off their houses and raise livestock. Jiang Jiuniang chose several families who were considered to be of good character.
The selected families were also surprised, never expecting to encounter such a good thing at home. If they could cooperate long-term, they could easily support their entire family.
To prevent these people from developing ulterior motives and ruining the business in the future, Jiang Jiuniang still strictly signed contracts with them. The people also repeatedly assured her that they would definitely handle things well and would not ruin their reputation for the sick chickens and ducks. Only then did the couple leave satisfied.
"I've noticed there's no place here that specializes in selling pig's head meat. How about we add that dish to our Lu Hei Ya menu?"
After finishing her work these past few days, Sister Wang finally had a chance to praise the bowl of braised pig's head that she had given her. She praised it to the skies, saying that she never expected braised pig's head to be so delicious.
And because pig heads aren't very popular here, they're sold very cheaply. If you take them over, cook them into delicious food, and then resell them, you can instantly double your money's worth.
Since it's all the same braising liquid, it's not complicated.
"Sure, I can add pig's head to other Lu Hei Ya dishes as well, I think it's quite popular."
Lu Baichuan offered his opinion.
"Okay, I'll tell Lotus next time."
A few days later, Jiang Jiuniang received a letter from Lu Xiaoyang.
Since they've been away for so long, Jiang Jiuniang has only received two letters from Lu Xiaoyang because of their unpredictable whereabouts. The last time they were still in Xiteng, but this time they've finished dealing with things in Nantai and are preparing to return.
The letter stated that Lu Xiaoyang had completed the tasks assigned to him by Jiang Jiuniang and even gained some unexpected benefits. In addition, he felt that he and Liu Yuexiang were getting on in years and it was time to get married. He decided to come back, get married, and then continue to venture out into the world. Although the two were engaged, they did not have a proper status, which caused Liu Yuexiang to suffer unjustly.
Zhang Lanxiang was mentioned separately. It was said that she met a young man in Nantai and seemed to have finally seen the light, but she rejected him because of the great distance between them.
But that guy was very persistent. He would go to their place every day to wait for them. Zhang Lanxiang was tempted but couldn't bear to leave her home, so she would hide and cry every day.
Although they never brought it up in person, he and Liu Yuexiang saw Zhang Lanxiang's swollen eyes every day and wanted to offer some advice but didn't know what to say.
The letter asked Jiang Jiuniang if she had any way to persuade Zhang Lanxiang and hoped that she could cheer up.
After reading the letter, Jiang Jiuniang sighed, "As expected, young girls are more prone to being love-struck. If they have family and attachments, they will definitely choose their family without hesitation. What is there to hesitate about?"
Men are everywhere, but you only have one set of parents.
If women who marry far away in the postmodern era are so miserable, imagine how miserable women are in this era. If they really marry into that country, they will definitely never be able to come back to visit their parents.
From Lu Xiaoyang's letter, she could tell that the man was definitely a playboy. What decent young man would go out and wait for a girl in broad daylight every day? He clearly had no good intentions.
With that in mind, she picked up her pen and began writing a reply, hoping that they would still be alive when she sent it.
She shared her views and then began to analyze the pros and cons for Zhang Lanxiang. Instead of making the choice for her, she let Zhang Lanxiang weigh the pros and cons herself. For example, she mentioned that marrying someone from afar meant she wouldn't have the company of relatives and friends, and that if she was bullied by her husband's family, she wouldn't have her own family to support her. She also mentioned that men from other places liked to beat their wives for no reason. She wrote several long paragraphs, leaving Lu Baichuan, who was sitting next to her, speechless.
Honey, are you sure you're not here to take sides?
What do you mean men from other places like to beat their wives? Where did you hear that? How come he doesn't know?
However, it's clear that the wife is genuinely worried that the young woman might make the wrong decision and cause unmanageable consequences.
But fate is a complicated thing.
Jiang Jiuniang hurriedly sent the letter after finishing it. She breathed a sigh of relief after she finished. Although her first meeting with Zhang Lanxiang was not pleasant, and the young girl was spoiled rotten by Magistrate Zhang, she later realized that the girl was good at heart and they developed feelings for each other. As someone who had been through it all, she didn't want her to ruin her life because of a decision she made at this time.
Of course, the specific choice is up to Zhang Lanxiang; she is only offering suggestions.
"Are you happy now?"
Seeing her slumped on the chaise lounge, Lu Baichuan went over and massaged her shoulders.
"I can't quite describe the feeling; I'm neither happy nor sad."
Jiang Jiuniang shook her head, her voice filled with more emotion than anything else.
In the blink of an eye, she has been here for so many years. Her family has gone from poverty to wealth, and the little ones in the family have all reached marriageable age.
"Since Xiao Yang and the others have decided to come back to get married, Lei Zi and Lian Hua will definitely be there too. We can't be absent from such an important event. Let's go back after things are settled here."
Lu Baichuan nodded: "Then we'll go out for a trip after we've taken care of the children's affairs."
Jiang Jiuniang shook her head and said, "I'm not playing anymore. I need to go back and set up the medical school. These things can't be delayed any longer."
Previously, she had planned to travel around and experience the local customs and medical standards of each place. If she was lucky, she could even take on a few apprentices and personally train them. However, after learning about Xiangxiang's special abilities, Jiang Jiuniang decided to focus on doing what she wanted to do first, so as not to have any regrets in terms of medical skills. That way, even if she were to leave one day, she would not have lived in vain.
However, Lu Baichuan and his two children will definitely be sad for a long time.
However, since she could come once, she can come a second time. No matter the cost, she will come back.
Because Jiang Jiuniang felt that this was where her life truly began.
Lu Baichuan saw the determination in her eyes and suddenly understood why she did this. His eyelids trembled, but he said nothing.
He will cherish every day he spends with her. If she leaves one day, he will try to find her. Even if he can't find her, he will raise their two children with all his heart. He is a husband and a father, and he must fulfill all his responsibilities.
"Alright, then we'll wait for someone from the capital to come and hand over everything here, and then we'll head back."
His nephew is getting married, and as his uncle, he definitely has to be there.
Jiang Jiuniang suddenly sat up, wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her face in his chest, and asked in a muffled voice, "Are you angry with me?"
