698 Hooligans Come

Chu Qingzhi continued to explain the workshop’s rules and the pay, which everyone was concerned about. After clarifying these points, she began teaching everyone how to make taro pies.

Everyone was so enthusiastic and dedicated to learning how to make taro pies that they had never been so serious before.

The workshop offered such good welfare and treatment that no one wanted to be expelled.

Using the same method, Shen Ruyue selected workers to help Hong Yujun brew wine and others to work in the paper mill producing packaging paper.

The maid brought medicine to Yu Wanwan, “Miss, how do you feel?”

Yu Wanwan was about to tell the maid, “I feel much lighter, as if a stone that was pressing on me has been removed.”

The maid was somewhat pleased, “Have you ever felt this way before?”

Yu Wanwan thought seriously for a moment and shook her head, “No, and I’ve never felt relaxed before.” Suddenly, she became excited, “Do you think I’ve lost weight?”

The maid laughed, “Miss, even if you’ve lost weight, it’s not visible now. But with such effectiveness, I believe you’ll lose weight one day.”

“You’re right.” Yu Wanwan thought for a moment, “Yesterday, I saw villagers cutting vegetables in the field. Shall we go too?”

The maid, seeing Yu Wanwan so happy, didn’t want to dampen her spirits, “Miss, your clothes are expensive. Let’s change into cheaper clothes before we go.”

“Ok.”

The master and servant walked out of the house and looked around. Then, they walked to the furthest field.

The field was planted with shepherd’s purse and turnips, which were growing well, especially the turnips, which were quite large.

Yu Wanwan approached He Cuiyun, “Aunt, let me help you cut the vegetables?”

“That’s not necessary, not necessary…” He Cuiyun was startled, “A person of your status wearing clothes worth more than all the vegetables in this field, if they get dirty or damaged, I might be ruined.”

Yu Wanwan smiled, “You don’t have to be responsible, Aunt. Besides, I’m doing this to cure my illness. If you let me work, I’ll be grateful to you.”

“Is that so?” He Cuiyun was still worried, “Cutting vegetables might hurt your hands…”

Yu Wanwan looked around, “Then I’ll do some work that won’t hurt my hands, okay?”

Seeing that Yu Wanwan was unwilling to give up, He Cuiyun had to find a solution. She looked around and had an idea, “Miss, help me pickup the vegetables and put them in the basket. Just picking vegetables, is that okay?”

“Okay.” Yu Wanwan was excited. She had never done farm work before, not even seen it.

Thus, Yu Wanwan started working in the field, quickly breaking into a sweat. As a result, her body felt lighter again.

In the county city.

A few students were passing through the streets when they suddenly stopped to look at a display.

The display board read, “Wu’s Bookstore, The World’s Structure.”

“This Wu’s Bookstore is so arrogant to say such a thing!”

“If you’re not arrogant, can you open a bookstore here?”

“That makes sense. Others open bookstores facing the direction of the school’s gate. Opening it at the back, I wonder what Wu’s Bookstore is thinking?”

“Seeing its arrogance has piqued my interest. When it opens, I must see what makes it stand out.”

“It’s written here that it opens on the tenth day of the tenth month. Let’s all come together then.”

“Alright, it’s settled then.”

As the scholars chatted and walked away, another group arrived…

This was naturally done on purpose to stir up everyone’s emotions and make a lasting impression.

Indeed, every student passing by would stop to give their opinions. Within just an hour or two, a small buzz had been created. Those who saw it remembered it well and planned to visit the store once it opened.

From the second-floor window, Wu Yaqing peeked out, her smile radiant, “I’m not afraid of you coming; I’m afraid of you not coming.”

At the back door of the school, news of a presumptuous bookstore about to open spread gradually within the school.

In the Chu Village.

On a barren plot of land, a large group of people were busy clearing the land to plant wheat, working energetically.

Chu Rong wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and walked over to Chu Shi’an, “Let’s take a break, have some water before continuing.”

Chu Shi’an smiled, “Alright.”

The two men each scooped up a bowl of water to drink, then sat in the grass, tilting their faces up to watch the geese flying south in the sky.

Chu Shi’an spoke with a hint of emotion, “Look at those geese, living so freely and comfortably.”

Chu Rong nodded, “Indeed, they seem very free and comfortable, but I still prefer our human life.”

Chu Shi’an looked at his childhood friend, his eyes filled with deep envy.

His childhood friend had lived a fulfilling life, having been to the capital, dined in the best restaurants there, seen the imperial palace, met the emperor and the crown prince, and his daughter was married to the young master, with another daughter to marry a general in the future. Meanwhile, he had nothing, not even enough to eat.

“Chu Rong, thankyou for helping me these past few days.”

“There’s no need for formalities between brothers,” Chu Rong patted Chu Shi’an on the shoulder. “If you consider me a brother, just speak up if you need anything.”

Chu Shi’an smiled, “Alright.”

Suddenly, a harsh voice came from behind, “Big brother, Chu Shi’an is over there.”

Chu Rong and Chu Shi’an turned around to look…

Chu Rong was confused. He didn’t recognize the two people.

Chu Shi’an’s expression changed slightly. They were his ex-wife’s two sons.

The brothers ran over quickly. Sun Dinggui said righteously, “Our mother is sick and needs money for treatment. When you left, you took all our family’s money. Now, return the money to us.”

Chu Shi’an’s face turned very ugly, “When I left with Lan’er, I only took a few clothes. I didn’t take anything else.”

Sun Dinggui spoke like a hooligan, “Are you trying to fool me? If you didn’t take anything, what have you and your daughter been eating all this time? Hurry up and give us the money, or we’ll sell Lan’er to a brothel.”

Chu Shi’an, who now only had his daughter, was enraged, “If you dare to sell Lan’er, I’llbreakyour legs!”

“Hmph, if we can’t get the money, you’ll see if I dare or not.” Sun Dinggui didn’t take Chu Shi’an’s threat seriously due to the deep-seated impression that Chu Shi’an was always submissive in the Sun family.

Chu Rong, with a cold face, said, “My brother has already divorced your mother. Whether he took money or not, he has nothing to do with your family anymore. If you want money, earn it yourself.”

Sun Dinggui pushed Chu Rong and lifted his chin defiantly, “This is our family’s affair. What business is it of an outsider to meddle?”

Chu Shi’an protected Chu Rong behind him, “If you have any issues, come at me. It’s not his business.”

Sun Dinggui’s face turned vicious, “Then give us the money. Just hand over the money, and we’ll leave immediately.”
