No matter when, once you have a stable home, everything seems to become less difficult. Ru Yue, who lived in a straw hut for four months, has a deep understanding of this. Now that she has finally moved into the new house, she suddenly feels at ease.

After putting the two children to bed that night, Chu Ning'an and Ru Yue were both sleepless. They no longer needed to chat under the moonlight. "Chu Ning'an, let's go get some people tomorrow. We all have our own things to do, and we need some specialists at home. Also, some of the work in the workshop involves confidential matters, so hiring anyone casually isn't safe. What do you say?"

"That's exactly what you should do. Now that it's August, I think you'll be busy. It would be much better if you could hire some reliable people to follow you."

"There's one more thing we must do. You must have your indentures removed from the government office as soon as possible. You'll be facing death next February, and this will become a stain on your reputation." She suddenly laughed. "I can't let anyone else do this. If word gets out, I'm afraid we'll be in big trouble."

Chu Ning'an also laughed. If he hadn't been assassinated, how could he have met her? "Then let's go to the dental shop in the town tomorrow. Tonight we need to decide which people to buy and how much to buy. We don't need to buy everything at once, but we must buy the most important ones first. We can buy the rest when we get to the county town."

The two reached a consensus and went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next morning, Ru Yue did not let Zhang Erqiang and the others go to the village to collect the goods. Instead, she took a mule cart to the pawnshop in town to buy people. Unexpectedly, she met an acquaintance.

Pingyang Town is not big. To be honest, there are only a limited number of rich people in this town. Rich families like the Lou family basically will not buy people from the brokerage firms in this town.

As soon as Zhang Erqiang drove the mule cart to the door of the pawnshop, several overly enthusiastic people came out to greet him. "Hello, young lady, young master. I am the pawnbroker of this pawnshop. Please come in!"

This broker wasn't as cunning and deceitful as the rumors spread. On the contrary, he had a simple and honest look on his face, and he seemed a little familiar. "Are you two looking to buy someone, or a shop or some land?"

Ru Yue suddenly thought of something and asked casually, "Brother, I want to ask if you are good at dentistry next week?"

The man was obviously stunned, but quickly returned to normal. "Miss, do you have something to talk to her about?" It seemed that she was an acquaintance.

"I met Brother Dahu once. He once said that he would pick the best people to serve me. When I came to your shop today, I thought of him." Ru Yue omitted the thrilling process and only revealed the result.

"To be honest, young lady, Zhou Dahu is my good-for-nothing brother. Don't worry, I will do for him what he promised you." As he spoke, his eyes turned red and his voice was choked.

Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes, "What happened to Brother Zhou? But what happened to Brother Dahu?"

Ru Yue had only met Zhou Dahu once, but she was able to fool him with just a few words, and she was also able to make plans for herself who was covered in patches at that time. It can be seen that he is not a wicked person. Even when he beat Chu Ning'an, it was not entirely because he was bullying the weak. Some of it was done out of deliberate provocation by Chu Ning'an.

"That fool is always causing me trouble. Let's not talk about him anymore." Zhou Yaren turned around and wiped the tears from his eyes, pretending to be cheerful and said, "Young lady, do you want to choose a man or a shop or property? I will definitely pick the best for you and won't let that fool lose his trust in you."

"No rush, Brother Zhou, please tell us about Brother Dahu. Although we only met once, he took care of us. Logically, we should have gone to thank him a long time ago, but we thought there is still a long way to go, and didn't expect..."

Chu Ning'an took over the conversation and brought the topic back to Zhou Dahu. The broker's eyes turned red and he choked up when he mentioned his brother, which showed that they had a deep relationship. It was not his fault that Zhou Dahu treated him badly that day, not to mention that if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have met Ru Yue. He had to remember this friendship.

Seeing that the two were determined to get to the bottom of the matter, the Zhou Ya people stopped hiding and sent several of their men elsewhere. They invited the two to sit down and served tea before they were done.

About half a month ago, Zhou Dahu had an argument with someone. It was not a big deal, but the conversation pushed him to the brink of death. They made a bet that whoever could walk back and forth across the One-Line Gorge of the Old Python Mountain outside the city would win, and the loser would have to kowtow and call him grandpa. The fool was used to being competitive, so he went without saying anything. As a result, he was carried back with bruises all over his body. He went to see a doctor, who said that he had been poisoned by the wire snake venom from the One-Line Gorge.

As Zhou Yaren spoke, he was overcome with grief and sobbed, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

Doctor Li from Yifengtang used medicine to keep him alive, saying that if the golden thread hook lotus was not found within half a month, Zhou Dahu would be beyond saving. Now it has been almost half a month, and he is breathing out more than breathing in, so it is estimated that he will only live for one or two days.

After saying this, Zhou Yaren could no longer control himself and burst into tears.

Ru Yue understood the whole story and suddenly came up with a plan.

"Brother Zhou, don't be sad yet. I was thinking of asking Brother Dahu to help me select some people to go back to Yifengtang and deliver the Golden Thread Lotus. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Please send someone to invite Doctor Li and tell him that the herbs have been found."

"Miss, do you really have Golden Thread Lotus?" Zhou Yaren asked anxiously in a trembling voice.

Ru Yue nodded heavily to reassure him, "Could you please prepare a room for the two of us to rest first?"

The people of Zhouya hurriedly asked someone to make arrangements.
