Zhao Erleng's wife readily agreed after hearing this, much to Jiang Ling's surprise, as she was incredibly efficient. In less than an hour, a quick-handed child had already knocked on Jiang Ling's door.
Looking at the basket full of raw materials, Jiang Ling nodded in satisfaction and gestured for them to put the materials in the second workshop.
Jiang Ling spent the entire afternoon working on this matter, and it wasn't until the sun had completely set that it was finally brought to a close.
Although the work wasn't tiring, it was very time-consuming. Jiang Ling also needed to research shampoo recently, so she couldn't possibly devote all her energy to it.
Thinking of her own children and younger brother, who also had things to do, Lightning Mother's smiling face suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling suddenly stood up and ran all the way to the door of Lightning Girl's house.
Lightning Girl became somewhat reserved upon seeing Jiang Ling, and was about to bow when Jiang Ling stopped her.
"Lightning Girl, if you keep doing this, won't we become estranged?" Jiang Ling said with a smile.
Lightning Girl stood there somewhat embarrassed, even nervously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.
"Lightning Girl, look what you're doing!" Jiang Ling had just opened her mouth when Lu Xiaoyu led Lu Lightning back home.
Upon seeing Jiang Ling, Lu Xiaoyu showed the same expression as her mother. She was the quickest of the three to react, immediately kneeling before Jiang Ling and saying softly, "Greetings...Greetings to Madam An..."
Jiang Ling had a headache. She quickly ran a few steps to help Lu Xiaoyu up and said to them with a hint of helplessness, "I've already said that you don't need to be polite when you see me! I hope you still regard me as the Jiang family from before, your aunt!"
"An... Yaojie's mother, what brings you here?" Lightning Girl asked tentatively.
Jiang Ling smiled and walked over to Lightning Mother's side, whispering, "Lightning Mother, look, my family's fertilizer factory is about to open. We're collecting raw materials like wood ash!"
"This job isn't complicated, but it still needs a reliable person to help keep an eye on things. I've thought about it and I think you're the most suitable candidate. Can you come and help? The pay might not be very high, but how about 150 copper coins a month?"
"What? You said you'd only give me copper coins every day, but you're going to give me 150 copper coins a month? Jiang... oh no, Madam An, are you a bodhisattva descended to earth?" Lightning Girl said, flattered.
Seeing that Lightning Girl was flattered, Jiang Ling added, "Then, sister-in-law, it's settled then. My schedule is six days on, one day off, from 7 AM to 1 PM, with a break at noon! Is that alright?"
"No problem, no problem, I'll be there tomorrow. Jiang... Madam An, don't worry, your brother has been teaching our Lightning and Xiaoyu to read and write these days, and I've also learned some basic characters. I can definitely handle simple bookkeeping! Don't worry, leave this to me, I definitely won't make any mistakes!" Lightning's mother patted her chest and said with a look of assurance.
Seeing Lightning Girl's reaction, Jiang Ling was very happy. At least this matter had been assigned, and she could continue to expand her business empire.
Cluck cluck cluck, three loud crowings broke the slumber of Lujia Village.
Lu Yong and four other men arrived at Jiang Ling's fertilizer plant early in the morning. Jiang Ling briefly assigned tasks: Lu Yong and two other men were responsible for collecting household garbage with a small cart, while the other two men were responsible for burning wood ash in the second room.
The five people switch between these two positions every fifteen days. The purpose of this is to prevent each other from thinking that the other's job is easy.
After arranging them, Jiang Ling handed a stack of account books to Lightning Girl, indicating that Lightning Girl needed to keep a clear record of the accounts.
After giving her explanation, Jiang Ling quietly walked towards the nursing home. She arrived at the side of the nursing home without making a sound and quietly stuck her head out to observe everything inside.
Lu Yongnan was cooking, and the four mothers-in-law were chatting around the table. Jiang Ling was very satisfied with the harmonious scene in front of her.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, a slightly aged voice reached Jiang Ling's ears.
"Why are you eating this again?"
"Old woman, what else do you want to eat? We're taking care of you, why do you still have so many demands!"
Lu Yongnan's cursing voice reached Jiang Ling's ears, and Jiang Ling immediately stopped and turned to look into the nursing home.
While cursing and swearing, Lu Yongnan poured a spoonful of dark stuff into Granny Cao's bowl, and because he used too much force, a lot of the dark stuff spilled out.
After being scolded by Lu Yongnan, Granny Cao immediately lowered her head and tremblingly drank the dark liquid in the bowl.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, but instead of going directly to the nursing home, she turned and went to the village chief's house.
The village chief had just finished eating and was leisurely sitting on a chair outside smoking. Upon seeing Jiang Ling appear, he quickly said, "Jiang, about that thing of yours yesterday..."
"Village chief, I have something I want to talk to you about! Would you be available to come out for a moment?" Jiang Ling interrupted the village chief with a serious expression.
The village chief found it strange; it seemed like he hadn't seen Jiang Ling with this expression in a long time. The last time he saw her like this was when Old Lady Lu tore up her daughter's book.
The image of Jiang Ling straddling Granny Lu and slapping her flashed through the village chief's mind. He couldn't help but shudder and mutter, "Amitabha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, please don't hit me, Jiang! I won't carry her like that!"
The village chief followed Jiang Ling with a heavy heart, his mind filled with trepidation.
"Village chief, what do you think of Lu Yongnan?"
The sudden voice startled the village chief, who trembled and instinctively took a step back, saying, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Jiang Ling recounted the scene at the nursing home to the village chief. The village chief frowned and said to Jiang Ling, "I'm going to the nursing home right now and kick this guy out! Jiang Shi, I was blind. I never thought this guy could do something so heinous!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ling shook her head and interrupted, "Village chief, we don't have any substantial evidence right now. Since he was able to deceive you, if we rashly go to him now, we could easily be falsely accused by him!"
Hearing Jiang Ling's words, the village chief gradually calmed down. He stroked his beard and looked at Jiang Ling, asking, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Jiang Ling thought for a moment and whispered, "Village Chief, how about this..." As she spoke, Jiang Ling blurted out her plan.
The village chief's mouth gaped wider and wider as he listened, and finally he gave Jiang Ling a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Jiang Ling, it really is you! You're truly amazing!"
Jiang Ling simply smiled and changed the subject, asking, "Did you use the shampoo the village chief used yesterday?"
