In the days that followed, Wen Nan's food stall business continued to thrive, but Wen Nan didn't like running a restaurant, so she became a hands-off manager.
The restaurant was handed over to Boss Mo, who became the manager. Wen Nan then taught Boss Mo how to keep accounts and track the restaurant's revenue.
Wen Nan would occasionally come over to check on things.
Wen Nan's trust in Boss Mo was so great that even Boss Mo was dumbfounded.
The main thing is... Wen Nan isn't afraid that Boss Mo is greedy for money. This shop doesn't have much money to begin with, so if Boss Mo really has other ideas...
Wen Nan was bound to get a beating.
Boss Mo had no such idea whatsoever; he was so moved that he wept tears of joy. He, a mere bandit, had actually become a shopkeeper!
Boss Mo was overjoyed! Wen Nan gave Boss Mo, the store manager, another raise.
Mo Laoda was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling.
Wen Nan's family only has one mu (approximately 0.16 acres) of pond, and Wen Nan feeds crayfish to them morning and evening.
The shop is doing very well. Boss Mo doesn't go to the shop in the morning; instead, he comes here to catch some lobsters and send them to the city.
They found an oxcart in the next village to pick them up and drop them off morning and evening, and they were paid a certain amount of silver per month.
Everything is proceeding smoothly, and Wen Nan's pockets are getting fuller and fuller.
Fortunately, lobsters have a short growth cycle, which can support the store's lobster supply.
Wen Nan's life improved, and before long, he paid back Zhang Ruyu for the money to repair the house.
Although Zhang Ruyu wasn't in a hurry, Wen Nan still returned the money.
Lu Yanqing continued to tutor Zhang Ruyu as always, and Zhang Ruyu still had to pay living expenses, which were still ten taels of silver as always.
They didn't charge more than that.
Moreover... Zhang Ruyu was known as the foolish son of a landlord.
Let alone ten taels, even if you gave him twenty taels, he wouldn't even blink an eye.
Because Wen Nan doesn't usually stay at food stalls, Zhang Ruyu and Lu Yanqing always go straight back to Lianhua Village after school.
Looking at the food in front of her, Wen Nan yawned. These past two days had been going too smoothly.
The main reason is that there are no more economic difficulties. Apart from feeding shrimp, Wennan basically has nothing else to do.
She was considering resuming her usual practice of picking Lu Yanqing up from school.
Wen Nan had just ladled a bowl of vegetables from the pot when a strong wind blew in and pushed open the slightly ajar kitchen door.
The wind blowing against her face tousled Wen Nan's hair, and her dark strands fell across her face, obscuring her vision.
She brushed her hair aside. Suddenly, a sound rang out, pounding on the eaves like falling beans.
Pitter-patter. In just a short while, a very shallow puddle had formed in the yard. The rain, like raindrops falling on beans, fell on the ground, resembling tiny flower umbrellas that had been turned upside down for a moment.
The wind was blowing loudly.
Wen Nan reached out and closed the kitchen door, making sure it was properly shut.
The sounds outside continued incessantly. It was as if beans were being pounded on the roof, and I felt as if I were under a drum.
What a heavy rain. The newly sprouted leaves outside were so delicate that, accompanied by the thunder and rain, they fell from the branches and crumbled into the ground.
Wen Nan tilted her head slightly. Zhang Ruyu and Lu Yanqing hadn't returned yet, but Lu Yanqing and the others had umbrellas at school.
Therefore, Wen Nan is not worried.
Lu Yanqing and Zhang Ruyu spent a lot of time at school, so Wen Nan asked them to each have an umbrella left at school.
It will naturally come in handy when it rains.
Because Lianhua Village is far away, Zhang Ruyu and Lu Yanqing will have to squeeze into an oxcart to return, just in case.
Now it comes in handy.
The fire was still burning in Wen Nan's stove. She put the vegetables on the counter into the pot and stir-fried them, but the spatula barely moved...
Suddenly, a long-lost machine voice appeared in Wen Nan's head.
[Beep beep, target is in danger.] The long-lost voice appeared in Wen Nan's mind.
Wen Nan frowned
She immediately used an empty gourd to scoop up a spoonful of water and extinguish the fire burning in the stove.
When fire meets water, thick smoke immediately appears.
She pushed open the kitchen window, and a strong wind blew in. The thick smoke in the kitchen instantly dissipated into the air, where the surrounding scenery was becoming increasingly hazy due to the heavy rain, and gradually disappeared.
Wen Nan deftly picked up the straw raincoat beside him and put it on.
We feed them morning and night, taking them to the fields to feed them. I bought a raincoat so it would be easier to check on the crayfish.
[What's going on?] The woman looked at the map in front of her, which had a red dot on it, clearly indicating that it was at San Tou Shan.
Why is it that place again... time and time again?
Wen Nan, wearing white embroidered shoes, stepped into the water. The surrounding water was clear, but ripples spread out, the larger ripples disappearing as small raindrops fell.
When Wen Nan came out, his shoes were soaked.
It was early spring and the wind was a bit chilly, but she didn't care at all.
It was raining, and everyone was hurrying home from the fields, but Wen Nan was different; she went outside.
Let's go into details about 859.
【The wind is strong and the rain is heavy today. There's a loose rock on the top of the mountain, so...】 The mechanical voice of 859 carried a kind of helplessness that you understand.
This left Wen Nan speechless.
So the stone fell and hit Lu Yanqing.
Hey, there's no reason, just bad luck.
[So, how is he?] Wen Nan quickened his pace; in the heavy rain, Wen Nan's figure was somewhat blurred.
[Not dead.] 859.
It looked at the screen.
On the road.
Suddenly, a person appeared in front of him. Zhang Ruyu ran towards him. He ran extremely fast, occasionally stepping into small puddles, then falling flat on his backside. His white clothes were now covered in mud and turned black.
"Wen Nan! Wen Nan, Lu Yanqing has fallen! He has fallen!" Zhang Ruyu's voice was loud. His clothes were soaked and covered in mud. The oil-paper umbrella in his hand had long since disappeared.
He looked terrified, seeing Wen Nan as if he had found a lifeline.
“It’s right over there!” Zhang Ruyu exclaimed in horror.
He and Lu Yanqing walked back this way together, but who knew that a large rock would roll down the mountain, and the two of them were originally going to go down.
However, Lu Yanqing pushed Zhang Ruyu away, and Zhang Ruyu fell to the ground with a thud. When Lu Yanqing turned around, he was knocked down by a stone.
The mountain is so high... Could Lu Yanqing be dead?
Zhang Ruyu felt increasingly disheartened. His clothes clung tightly to his body, his hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly wretched.
"I understand. You go back first, I'll go find it." Wen Nan looked at the dot on the map. She spoke calmly.
Zhang Ruyu nodded blankly, and Wen Nan disappeared before his eyes.
He looked up at the sky and said, "Yan Qing, don't worry. If anything happens to you, I will always remember your life-saving grace."
Zhang Ruyu looked at the hilltop again and said, "If anything happens to you, no matter how bad-tempered Wen Nan is, I will definitely take good care of her for you."
Zhang Ruyu looked up at the sky with a pained expression, as the large raindrops pelted her face, stinging her.
Lu Yanqing: ...Thank you.
