"Yes, sir. Have you forgotten that I am a businessman?" Jiang Shuyue smiled brightly. Even if others were unwilling to admit that she had her own reasons, she spoke of it very frankly.

Tan Sidao also laughed, "May I ask what the boss lady wants?"

"The hot spring in the Hot Spring Villa!" Jiang Shuyue said, "I paid for the repair of the canal, and the villagers in our village put their fingerprints on it, agreeing to let me renovate the hot spring."

Jiang Shuyue looked into his inquiring eyes.

"But the hot spring villa is built in your village. If it succeeds, it will be beneficial to the people in your village. If it fails, they will not suffer any loss."

Tan Sidao nodded. "What the boss lady said is profitable. From what I hear, it's for the benefit of the people in the whole village."

Jiang Shuyue was also very surprised. He said that, probably because the impression he had of her was not too bad.

"You can't say that. After all, I get the lion's share of the profits."

"Madam, you are too polite. Your villa still needs to hire workers. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have such an opportunity."

Fuzi smiled and said, "My mother said that she is not busy these days, and she wants to go to your place to help. We feel guilty for receiving your kindness."

"Not yet. Let your mother take good care of herself. The business will open in winter, and it will be a busy time."

Tan Sidao didn't expect Jiang Shuyue to be such a person. She really made him look at her in a new light and considered her a courageous woman.

Moreover, he lived an open life and did not hide his desire to make money, which was something he did not expect.

He put down the money for the meal, got up and left.

Jiang Shuyue also breathed a sigh of relief. She had to admit that Fuzi's constant flattery of her today must have helped her.

"Fuzi, do you know who that guest was just now?"

Fuzi shook her head, "I don't know, it sounds like he's from out of town, this is my first time seeing him."

"He is the newly appointed county magistrate of Songjiang County."

"Ah? You know him? Why didn't you tell me earlier? We didn't treat him well!" Fuzi regretted it very much.

Jiang Shuyue smiled, "Since he doesn't want people to know his identity, why should I expose him? Isn't this good? I see he is very happy eating."

"The food in our shop is delicious, he must be very happy with it." Fuzi thought of something else, "Madam, our shop is so famous that even the county magistrate comes here to eat."

Jiang Shuyue smiled. She felt that Tan Sidao came here not just for the food.

"what……"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shuyue looked at Fu Zi who was startled.

"We were just talking about Master Jiu. Is he okay?"

"It's okay, what could be the problem?"

Fuzi trusts Jiang Shuyue very much. If she says it's okay, he won't be afraid.

After leaving the shop, Tan Sidao reunited with his master.

"Master, how is it?"

"It's delicious." Tan Sidao was savoring the taste of the restaurant.

"Ahem, I'm asking if you know the answer you want?"

Tan Sidao recalled Jiang Shuyue's words and actions. Although letting a criminal go without permission was against the law, Yan Jiu was already innocent. If he was not let go, he would probably be dead by the time the case was overturned.

Even if Jiang Shuyue really did it, he didn't intend to pursue it. Turning a blind eye might not be a bad thing.

Others thought he was old-fashioned, stubborn, and just did what he said. But if he wasn't like that, how could he escape from the huge whirlpool of the Beijing officialdom?

"I am just a little girl. I don't have the guts or the ability to release Yan Jiu privately. Since the higher-ups have already made a decision on this matter, I will not pursue it any further. I will just wait for Yan Jiu to be brought to justice and put him in jail."

The master nodded, "Yes!"

"This year, there has been plenty of rain, and the people of Songjiang County have suffered. Please send someone to call all the town magistrates to the government office. I want to discuss with them the repair of the canal. It is not too late to make up for the loss, so as to avoid such a thing happening again in the future."

"Yes, sir, the people of Songjiang County are blessed to have an official like you," complimented the lawyer.

……

After Liuzi came back, Jiang Shuyue took 40 kilograms of pork back with him.

"Why did you buy so much?" Old Madam Xiao asked, looking at the white fat meat, "How much lard does this cost?"

"At this rate, it will take another two months to complete the villa, and this is not enough."

Jiang Shuyue knew very well that this speed was already very fast, and Foreman Hu had his men working at dawn and only rested at dark, which was really good.

A large mansion in the capital city would take at least a year to build, and some would take even longer.

"That's right. If we treat them better, they will work harder. It's the same thing." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile, "You take a rest. I'll go cut the meat and then make lard."

"Mom, add some water when boiling lard."

Old Mrs. Xiao didn't understand. "Why add water? Just put it in the pot, and oil will come out in a while. The oil residue will be very fragrant."

"The oil made by boiling it with a little water is white."

"Oh, there is such a thing. I'll listen to you."

When Old Lady Xiao and Niu Aifang were working, they also put Chen Feng in the kitchen so that they could keep an eye on him.

When Chen Feng saw the large bowl of meat, he crawled over and tried to eat it with his hands. Jiang Shuyue was so scared that she quickly snatched it away and said, "This is not cooked yet. You can't eat it."

"Meat...meat! Delicious."

Both Old Mrs. Xiao and Niu Aifang were amused.

"This girl is not that stupid. She even knows that meat is delicious." Niu Aifang's heart knot was untied. She talked more and laughed with Jiang Shuyue. "No matter how delicious the meat is, it can't be eaten raw."

After Old Lady Xiao finished laughing, she sighed, "This child is so pitiful, Shu Yue, can't she be cured?"

Jiang Shuyue had examined her early in the morning and found that it was a congenital problem that she had in the womb, not caused by any shock or impact, so there was nothing she could do.

No matter how good a doctor is, there are diseases that he cannot cure. Otherwise, wouldn’t there be a lot of dead people in this world?

Seeing Jiang Shuyue shaking her head, Old Lady Xiao's heart sank. Seeing Chen Fengyou staring at the meat, she quickly gave her a peach for her to eat.

Chen Feng took a bite and then laughed heartlessly.

"Auntie, don't be sad. It's Chen Feng's blessing to meet Shu Yue."

Old Madam Xiao nodded, "Needless to say, our Shuyue has a kind heart."

After hearing this, Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but want to laugh. She was not a kind-hearted person. To those who had harmed her, she was their executioner and death warrant.

Speaking of which, that guy Lu Mingzhan hasn't shown up for a long time.

God didn't let him burn to death in the fire, so he probably wanted him to suffer more. That's why Jiang Shuyue didn't rush to take action.

But she had asked Liuzi before, and Lu Mingzhan had not appeared in the town for some time.

Previously, the two brothers were begging on the street with an injured child. Have they changed their location?
