Escape after crossing
Chapter 139 Stone Returns
Of course, this million-dollar debt was a trap set by Xuan San. Xuan San would not tell Jiang Ziluo, but only asked Jiang Ziluo, "Miss, are you not interested in the fields around here? I can help you."
Xuan San had a flattering tone, and Jiang Ziluo didn't understand why. "Xuan San, why did you help me? Did your master ask you to?"
"Of course not. I think that every time a girl does something new and popular. If there is something I can help with, I am willing to do so."
"Is that all? You have the final say over all the fields around here?" Jiang Ziluo didn't believe that Xuan San had such great ability.
"Hehe, young lady, this actually still depends on the power of the master. I can just run errands for you and save you some trouble."
"Well, let's take a look at the house first. The land around here is still planted with crops. There's no rush. It's okay to wait a little longer."
Jiang Ziluo was afraid that if he agreed to buy the land now, the county magistrate would be in a hurry to make a move and would destroy the crops grown by the tenants, which would then be a loss.
Xuan San didn't know what Jiang Ziluo was thinking, but he knew that even if Jiang Ziluo was not in a hurry, these fields would not wait too long. The time he gave was limited, and if he couldn't raise the money, the county magistrate would not have the final say.
However, he could tell them that no one was allowed to buy this land, and he would just take the land away when the time came.
A few of them walked around and looked around. The place was not small, with two courtyards. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw a spacious courtyard, and then there was a screen wall. Jiang Ziluo originally thought it was just a wall, but he didn't expect that in addition to the aisle, there were actually several rooms.
Through the screen wall, you can see the gate of the second courtyard. After entering the gate, you can see the east and west side rooms, the main hall, and two side rooms. The rooms are not small. After walking around, you can see beds, tables, chairs, cabinets... everything.
But there are a lot of things to buy, first of all, bedding, pillows, sheets, then spare clothes and daily necessities.
There were also pots and pans, rice, flour, oil, and salt in the kitchen... After having a general idea of the situation, they got on the carriage and returned to the restaurant, where they happened to meet the waiter who had caught crayfish and was bringing back some.
Mingxi just came back in the afternoon and had not tasted crayfish yet. He didn't know whether crayfish was edible. When he saw the waiter brought a lot of crayfish, he asked.
"Xiaoer, why are you catching so many red beetles?"
"This sister doesn't know yet, right? The girl next to you taught me a new dish at noon, which is this crayfish."
Mingxi looked at Jiang Ziluo and Mingyue, wanting to know what was going on. But Mingxi was not the only one who was curious. The other two were also curious and wanted to know what was going on.
Jiang Ziluo smiled and said, "Come in first, it's so hot outside."
The few of them then entered the inn. Jiang Ziluo said to Mingyue, "Go buy things. Buy up everything that is missing in the yard over there, and then send it over there." As he said that, he took out two silver bills from his sleeve and handed them to Mingyue.
"Miss, we don't have to go. Xuan San can handle the matter. Ming Xi and I will stay and protect you."
Xuan San also nodded. He didn't want Jiang Ziluo to make any mistakes. How could she be a girl? She was a god of wealth. Any dish she made could make the restaurant earn a lot of money.
"Wang Wu and I will go, and we will let them go after we have bought them."
"Well, fine! You know what to buy anyway. I'm going back to my room, you all go get busy!"
Mingyue and Mingxi followed Jiang Ziluo back to the room. Jiang Ziluo told them that he was a little tired and wanted to rest, and let them pass the time by themselves.
The two of them obediently left Jiang Ziluo's room, and Mingxi began to pester Mingyue, asking Mingyue to tell him what happened. Mingyue could only tell him what happened after Mingxi left.
Sure enough, Mingxi drooled as she listened, and wanted to go downstairs to look at the crayfish, thinking that she would have to eat more in the evening. Mingyue did not stop her, so she let her go, and she stood guard outside the door.
When Jiang Ziluo said rest, she really meant rest. She got up early in the morning and had been busy all the time. Her small body as a teenager was indeed tired.
But it was a bit hot, so she couldn't rest. She kept hearing noises outside the door, but now they stopped, so she was about to open the door to call the waiter, but when she opened the door, Mingyue was outside.
"Mingyue, what are you doing here?" Jiang Ziluo was glad that he did not rush into the space in a rush. If Mingyue noticed, he would not be able to explain himself.
"Girl, what's wrong?"
"Oh, I feel a little hot. I want to ask if there is any ice?"
"Go in, girl. I'll go get the waiter and I'll be there in a minute."
The restaurant would stock up on ice every year, but it was hard to stock up in the south, so the stockpile was small. It was usually used during the hottest time. If others wanted to use it now, there would be no ice, but if Jiang Ziluo wanted to use it, there would be some.
Jiang Ziluo didn't act pretentiously, he just nodded, and went back to the house to wait. After a while, Mingyue and the waiter came back with two basins of ice. After sending the waiter away, Mingyue also took out a fan.
"Girl, go lie down and rest. I'll put some ice next to the bed and fan you. You'll be cool in a moment."
Jiang Ziluo was not used to someone watching over her while she slept, let alone fanning her. Jiang Ziluo shook her head.
"Put the ice next to the bed and bring a basin to your room. Go back to your room and take a rest. The ice will cool you down in no time. You don't have to stand guard outside the door. Go!"
Mingyue seemed to have observed that Jiang Ziluo would never bother them unless there was something that she was really too busy with. After spending these two days together, Mingyue also knew that Jiang Ziluo could not be persuaded once he made up his mind.
So he handed the fan over and left the room, but he didn't go back to his room. He just stood guard outside the door.
Jiang Ziluo had been in the north before. In the summer, it was not too hot and she could bear it. But on those days when it was really hot, she would go into the space to sleep.
It's different now. It's really hot in the south. Jiang Ziluo was lying on the bed fanning himself. Although he was tired, he was still thinking about who to let stay tomorrow.
She couldn't waste any more time. She had to go back to Jiangdu City first, finish the things over there, and wait for her people to arrive before sending someone over.
But who should we let stay tomorrow? Xuan San and Wang Wu are not suitable, so Ming Yue should stay? The one who stays will stay here for a few days. Thinking about Ming Xi, it seems that Ming Yue is more suitable.
Before they decided who would stay, Jiang Ziluo fell asleep. It might be because he woke up early in the morning or he was really tired today.
Not long after Jiang Ziluo fell asleep, Shitou and Erya sisters came. Mingyue did not disturb Jiang Ziluo and asked them to sit and wait downstairs, or go home first and come later.
The three of them chose to wait in the restaurant. Sister Erya's body had not recovered yet. After taking Jiang Ziluo's medicine, her fever had gone down. She also ate something at noon and had some strength again.
After hearing what Shitou said when he went back, he wanted to bring Erya here to find Jiang Ziluo and thank his benefactor. Shitou asked her to wash up and he would take them to find Jiang Ziluo after he was done with his work.
So after Shitou had visited a few restaurants, he brought the two sisters to the restaurant. It wasn't that Shitou didn't want to find someone, but the restaurants he visited were all very kind to him and the people there were honest.
But when they heard that they would not be able to see their children for a long time and that they had to sign a contract to sell themselves, they all refused. They said that we are not yet at the stage where we have to sell our children to make a living, and they also blamed Shitou for doing such a thing that would make people sell their children.
So Shitou was kicked out, saying that he was a good kid, so why did he do such a thing? Shitou felt very wronged, because every family didn't listen to his story and kicked him out.
