Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

Lihua Village——

The Yuan family had also heard the news, and they knew without hesitation that it was Wang Shuiquan's doing.

But they don't have time to think about it now.

There are still a lot of people in front of them that they need to deal with.

The reason was that after the news that Qingshuilou belonged to the Yuan family spread, many villagers had already become interested. They all felt that since the Yuan family had opened a restaurant, they should be able to help with some work.

This put the Yuan family in a dilemma for a while, as it was not up to them to decide whether or not people were needed.

And the most feared thing about doing business is people with connections.

You give him a job but he doesn't know how to be grateful and takes it for granted that this is what you should do. He doesn't even do the work and treats the restaurant as his own home, bossing others around. This is a common thing.

We are neighbors, so how can I talk about this when the time comes?

Jiang Lingling's eyes rolled around as she said, "Aunt Yuan really can't say anything about this matter. Why don't you wait until Chu Lan comes back? But to be honest, Qingshui Tower really doesn't need any staff right now, but the details will have to wait until Chu Lan comes back before we can make a final decision."

"You guys should go back first,"

Some villagers just came to give it a try, while some villagers felt that since they were all from the same village, they had to help, so they stayed in Yuan's house and refused to leave.

The Yuan family really couldn't drive them out.

I just pretended not to see them and didn't shout when they were eating. I just let them watch.

This made the villagers very angry. The Yuan family really didn't notice that they didn't leave and didn't even invite them to eat.

After the Yuan family had eaten their fill, Old Lady Liu pretended to see them.

"Oh, I tend to forget things when I eat, and I forgot about you guys."

This really made them angry.

After waiting for Shen Chulan to return with great difficulty while being hungry, these people and other villagers rushed over.

Shen Chulan didn't know that the news that Qingshui Tower belonged to the Yuan family had spread out, and she was stunned for a while.

After listening for a long time, she realized that the villagers wanted her to give them a job.

"Of course I welcome you to work at Qingshui Building, but you have to go to Qingshui Building and interview with our shopkeeper. Everyone comes this way, and you can't break this rule."

Some villagers were unhappy, "Isn't Qingshuilou yours? Why can't you make the decision?"

"It's true that Qingshuilou belongs to the Yuan family, but that doesn't mean the boss can just stuff people in at will. What do you want other people to think? Our restaurant emphasizes fairness and justice." Yuan Laosi said lightly.

The villagers who had this idea went back early and made preparations in a hurry.

Seeing that the Yuan family refused to accept them, the villagers had no choice but to go to Qingshui Tower to interview the owner.

Old Lady Liu sighed. "Now that the imperial court has increased grain taxes, the common people are having a hard time. If the villagers go to Qingshui Tower for interviews tomorrow, we'll recruit them for a trial period. If they're diligent and willing to work, we'll keep them. If they're dishonest, we'll pay them and let them go."

"Okay." Shen Chulan nodded.

...........

County Magistrate Huang had no idea what had happened to his brother-in-law. He had been concentrating on the construction of the new mansion recently. He would supervise the construction every day and check whether the craftsmen were cutting corners.

He went to the newly built mansion early this morning. As soon as he got off the carriage, he was stunned. Where was his newly built unfinished mansion?

How did it fall to the ground and break into pieces?

Feeling aggrieved, he wrote several letters for help on the spot and sent them to Governor Jiang by express horse.

When Governor Jiang received the letter, his expression was as wrinkled as the expression of an old man looking at his phone on the subway. It's hard to describe.

The mansion he had just built halfway for County Magistrate Huang collapsed?

The letter also said that County Magistrate Huang had been very unlucky recently. Either his gold, silver and jewelry disappeared, or he was attacked by a pile of feces and urine, and his mansion was burned to the ground.

Oh, Xiongba’s family was even more miserable, as their entire clan was wiped out.

Prefect Jiang was terrified. He just found out now that Xiongba Stronghold had been wiped out. Why did County Magistrate Huang tell him only now?

Could it be that the imperial court secretly sent people to destroy Xiongba Stronghold?

This is not the most important thing. The key is that County Magistrate Huang said that the gold, silver and jewelry in the mansion disappeared inexplicably!

These things also affected his mother-in-law's family, and all the gold, silver and jewelry in a warehouse in his mother-in-law's family disappeared!

County Magistrate Huang is such an unlucky guy. Wherever he goes, disaster strikes.

Thinking about it this way, he has been close to County Magistrate Huang recently, could it be that...

Frightened, Magistrate Jiang immediately dropped the letter in his hand and ran out of the study all the way to the warehouse.

I asked the housekeeper to take out the key and open the warehouse. When he saw it, he was stunned for a moment.

He has so much gold, silver and jewelry.

How come half of it is missing!

The weasel guarding on the beam saw this and was shocked. Oh no, it was over. It was discovered.

On that day, Prefect Jiang ordered people to strengthen the security of the warehouse and no one was allowed to approach the warehouse.

There was a hint of contempt in the weasel's small eyes.

Want to stop us? No way.

He quickly crawled out of the warehouse to report the news.

We have to move them away quickly to appease their owner while there are still a lot of them.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Lin came to chat with Old Lady Liu, and a charcoal fire was burning in the main room.

There has been a cold snap recently, and the weather is colder than winter. The wind is biting. It has only been a few days since the weather got warmer, and the villagers are already wearing thick clothes again.

Yaoyao sat on a bamboo mat covered with a thick blanket. The blanket was made of the hair that fell from Xiaohei's body. Old Mrs. Liu collected the hair and made a warm and soft blanket. She washed it again and again and put it in the sun to dry for several days.

The chubby body sat on the blanket, sagging a little. Yaoyao drooled as she looked at the sweet potatoes roasted by Guoping and Guowang in the brazier.

Juice kept oozing out of the skin of the sweet potato, and the sweet taste kept stimulating Yaoyao's taste buds. She stared at it with her big eyes without blinking.

Guoping took out a pair of tongs and picked out the sweet potato. He stretched out his hand with his fingers and tentatively pinched the sweet potato to see if it was soft.

The sweet potato was very hot, but seeing Yaoyao's eager eyes, Guoping ran out of the house and brought in a basin of cold water. He put his hands in the cold water, and when his hands were almost cold enough, he picked up the sweet potato and quickly broke it in half.

Yaoyao looked at Guoping's scalded red hands, and saw him reaching for the hot sweet potato again. She frowned and pressed Guoping's hand.

"What's wrong, Yaoyao? Don't you want to eat sweet potatoes? Be good and wait a moment. I'll blow the sweet potatoes cool before giving them to you." Guoping smiled, gently pinched Yaoyao's soft face, and pulled his hand away just as he was about to take the hot sweet potato.
