Since there was no room in the shop, Shen Wanning had to go to the inn and book two rooms for them to stay in for the night and then move in tomorrow.

On the way back, Shen Wanning sighed, "Mom, it seems we really need to buy a house in the county town. Otherwise, there will be no room for so many servants. Also, if we do business too late in the future, we may need to rest in the county town."

"Buy it, buy it. It's not a good idea to keep running back and forth." After only two days of running, Aunt Zhang was a little tired. She couldn't bear it anymore at her old age.

"Okay, I'll go look at houses tomorrow and buy a bigger one. Then we can just live in the county town in the future. By the way, I'll bring my second brother and sister-in-law to the county town so that we can find a midwife when they give birth." Shen Wanning continued.

She hadn't thought about buying servants at first, but once she did, the rest of the configuration would have to follow.

"Okay, you go and take a look first. You are a person with your own ideas, so I won't get involved." Aunt Zhang rubbed her waist and changed her sitting position.

Shen Wanning sat behind Aunt Zhang and gently massaged her back and shoulders. Aunt Zhang closed her eyes comfortably and soon fell asleep.

She made a hushing gesture and let Aunt Zhang lean on her so that she could sleep more comfortably.

The night sky began to brighten, and everyone who was sleeping woke up. As soon as Shen Wanning got up, she saw Aunt Zhang busy in the kitchen.

"Mom, the servants are busy today, so you can just rest at home for a day. They can handle it."

"That won't work. The shop has just opened, so we have to keep an eye on it. After we train the servants, we'll teach them those things." Aunt Zhang said as she handed her a pancake.

"I make money to make my parents happy. If making money makes my parents suffer, then what's the point of making this money?" Shen Wanning took Aunt Zhang's hand, looked into her eyes and said seriously.

Aunt Zhang compromised, "Okay, then you guys go try it today. If it doesn't work, I'll go help tomorrow."

"Okay, Mom, don't worry, it will be fine."

Today, I left Lin Dashan and Aunt Zhang at home, and put some cassava flour and lychee seeds in the carriage. Only Shen Wanning and Lin Jingce went to the county town.

Shen Wanning called together the eight servants and all the farmhands from yesterday and reassigned them tasks.

From now on, Lin Jingce and Xiaoshu would make milk tea at the front desk, while Granny Qin and Huang Meihua would wash dishes in the backyard. Shiqin would boil milk and tea leaves in the kitchen, and steam glutinous rice and red beans. Shiqi would make tapioca pearls, Shishu would make pearls, and Shihua would make custard.

Mo Dong was responsible for driving the carriage to transport the milk tea from the farm, and the remaining three were led by Tie Ma to work as waiters in the store. Of course, it was Manager Yang's job to collect money and keep accounts.

After teaching a few people in the kitchen how to make tapioca pearls, and custard, Shen Wanning handed over the kitchen to them and went to the brokerage firm to find a real estate agent and prepare to go house hunting.

After looking for a whole afternoon, Shen Wanning still didn't find a house that satisfied her. She was so tired that she could hardly walk. Only when she saw the last house with four courtyards did she feel satisfied.

She was so tired that she said quietly, "Since there is such a nice house, why didn't you take me to see it earlier?"

The broker smiled awkwardly and said, "This house is a bit expensive. Many people saw it and were satisfied with it, but in the end they still didn't buy it."

"Okay, let's take this one. How much is it?"

The broker gave up hope and gestured with his hands, "Three, three hundred taels."

Seeing that Shen Wanning didn't move, he said anxiously, "Miss, the furniture and everything inside are ready. You can move in directly after cleaning it up. This price is already very cheap."

"Buy!" Shen Wanning was too tired, so she waved her hand and said just this one word.

Three hundred taels was something she hadn't expected; it was too cheap, which was why she was stunned. But it had always been like this in modern times; shops were more expensive than houses, so she didn't think much of it.

"Okay, then we will go to the government office to transfer the ownership today. I will give the deed to you later." The broker was very enthusiastic and smiled happily.

Enduring the pain in her feet, she and her broker went to the government office to handle the formalities. After the milk tea shop closed, she brought eight servants to clean the room. After tidying up the wing where the servants slept, she bought a few quilts and let them rest.

I returned to Daqing Village exhausted.

"Dad, Mom, we're back." Shen Wanning got off the carriage and shouted weakly.

Mrs. Wen hurried out of the room, holding her waist. "Wan Ning, it's getting dark, and Mom hasn't come back yet. Dad and Jing Cheng are out looking for Mom."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanning was horrified. Aunt Zhang had lived in Daqing Village all her life, so she must know which places to go and which places not to go. So she definitely wasn't lost, so there was only one possibility: she was in danger.

"Brother, go to Lin Daqiang's house to see if he's home. If not, find out when he left. I'll go find Uncle Chen. He's familiar with the traps on the mountain and can take us to find them."

It was not until she saw the reminders from netizens in the live broadcast room that she remembered the existence of Lin Daqiang. She had been busy with the shop's affairs recently and really had no time to care about Lin Daqiang.

"Second sister-in-law, go back to your room and rest first. I'll go look for her. Don't worry, we will definitely find mother." Shen Wanning comforted her and immediately turned around and went out.

Just as she walked out of the yard, an unexpected person appeared in front of her, smiling foolishly, pointing at her and saying, "My dad, your mom, my dad, your mom." After that, Lin Yueliang ran away with another silly smile.

Shen Wanning was one step ahead of her. She stood in front of her, pulled her arm, and asked hurriedly, "What did you say? What else do you know? Tell me now!"

Lin Yueliang frowned and looked at her arm. "It hurts, it hurts, you."

"Where is your father? Where is your father? Take me to find him!" Too worried, Shen Wanning grabbed Lin Yueliang's arms and shook her.

However, no matter what she said, Lin Yueliang remained silent. She got anxious and let go of Lin Yueliang's hand, running towards her home. On the way, she happened to meet Lin Jingce who was returning.

"Brother, how is it? Is Lin Daqiang home? Where's Mrs. Hu?"

Lin Jingce shook his head. "No, neither of them is here."

"Brother, go find Uncle Lizheng and ask him to mobilize everyone to look for him. I'll go find Hunter Chen."

Just as Shen Wanning was about to leave, Lin Yueliang appeared in front of her, stopped her, and threw a ball of paper at her.

Shen Wanning picked it up and saw that it said: If you want to save Aunt Zhang, come to the Lin family's old house alone.

"Brother, you go back first and take good care of my second sister-in-law. I'm worried that something might happen to her. I'm going to the mountain to find my mother." Shen Wanning stopped Lin Jingce who was going to find the head of the village.

"I'll go with you to look for it." Lin Jingce was confused, but still asked.

"No, I'm worried about my second sister-in-law. She's pregnant now, and I don't feel comfortable leaving her home alone. Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely bring mother back safely." Shen Wanning said firmly.
