“Yes, yes, I remember this address.” Upon hearing the “answer,” Yun Yuke quickly chimed in, but she never expected that it would be Yun Qingjin who said it.
"Hey, Qingqing, how did you know?"
"Mother, it's written in this ledger I have here." Yun Qingjin picked up one of the ledgers, one of which contained the address for shipping goods.
“My dear sister Yun, look at our little Qingqing. She’s only five years old, but she can observe carefully and find what she wants.”
Yuan Chen really goes all out to find every opportunity to argue with her boss.
"My dear sister, really, please put your same seriousness, care, and careful observation into these things as well."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
"After the rain stops, Sister Yun, you can take Qingqing to test Manager Lin's situation and check on their inventory. You can do that..."
Afterwards, the group discussed the relevant matters and decided to wait until the time was right before making any further statements.
Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, and the rain lasted for about three more days before finally stopping.
North of Huanghua Village in the west of the city.
Yun Yuke and Yun Qingjin rode together on horseback until they reached the address recorded in the ledger.
The two traveled light, both dressed as men, pretending to be a father and son who had come to relax, but in reality, they were there to investigate the condition of the warehouse.
However, the address record was rather vague. After wandering around the area for a while, the two finally found a small courtyard and saw a mountain of timber inside, which confirmed that they were indeed in the right place.
"Eh? Who are you?" A person sitting in the courtyard was enjoying the cool air when he saw the newcomers and was quite surprised.
"Excuse me, my son and I were just strolling around and would like to ask for a drink of water." Yun Yuke had never seen this person before, so she didn't dare to reveal his identity directly and only said that he was a tourist.
"Oh, no one lives here. If you want water, you can go further south. There are houses in that village over there."
"I wonder where this place is?" Yun Yuke asked sincerely, wanting to see how they would react.
"Why are you asking such unsolicited questions? Let's go, let's go."
The gatekeeper was clearly getting impatient. "What does this have to do with you? Get out of here!"
Yun Yuke didn't want to stay there any longer, so she turned around and left.
Yun Qingjin, who had been calmly observing the conversation between the two, also took this opportunity to think of a countermeasure.
"Father, your child..." Yun Qingjin was still sitting on the horse, but when she saw Yun Yuke turn around and come back, she called out "Father" softly, and then her body tilted and she fell right into Yun Yuke's arms.
"My son? You're having another episode? Good boy, don't scare your father!" Yun Yuke shouted loudly; this was one of the countermeasures they had discussed beforehand, Yun Qingjin pretended to be sick, and took the opportunity to sneak in.
Holding Yun Qingjin in her arms, Yun Yuke earnestly pleaded with the gatekeeper beside her. "Brother, I'm so sorry, my son has a heart ailment. Could we please find a shady spot to rest?"
The gatekeeper, looking displeased, was about to shoo the man away again when someone walked out from inside the gate. "What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
It turned out that the person who came out was Manager Lin himself. When Yuan Chen and Yun Yuke discussed it earlier, they had naturally considered the possibility of meeting Manager Lin directly here. So when Yun Yuke looked up and saw a familiar face, she naturally spoke up.
"Eh? Manager Lin's? It must be Manager Lin's."
Upon meeting this person, there's no need to pretend or hide anymore; simply pointing out their name will serve as a warning.
Shopkeeper Lin was startled by the voice, "Eh? Who are you?"
Yun Yuke herself has a more androgynous appearance, and her outward appearance has a greater impact on her looks.
Manager Lin looked closely and was taken aback. "Hey, is that the Yun family? What are you doing here?"
"It's a long story," Yun Yuke said, holding the child in her arms tighter. "Manager Lin, is this your house? May I borrow your esteemed place for a while? My child has a heart condition and needs to drink some water and rest to recover."
Manager Lin's expression was inscrutable. He glanced at the situation in his courtyard, his eyes darting around, before he spoke, "Then please come in."
Yun Yuke kept her eyes straight ahead and, guided by Manager Lin, went directly to the main hall of the courtyard.
“This house is not used often. Only this main hall has some furniture and furnishings. Mr. Yun, please stay here with the children for now.”
After settling the two in, Manager Lin apologized.
"Mr. Yun Dong, this is just a storeroom. We really haven't prepared any food or water. We apologize for the poor hospitality."
"It's alright, I brought a little more, it should be enough. Just let the child rest for a bit."
As if deliberately speaking at this moment, "Eh? Manager Lin, I remember, isn't this your warehouse outside the city?"
"...The Yun family has a good memory, this is indeed the place."
"Sigh, it's been raining heavily these past few days, I'm afraid your business has been affected too."
Yun Yuke probed slightly, wanting to see how the other party would handle the situation.
Manager Lin waved his hand and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I prepared a lot of moisture-proof facilities when I built this house. I came today to check the specific situation. So far, it's okay, there are no major problems. I will find an opportunity to air it out in the next few days."
Yun Yuke then took a closer look at the furnishings inside the room. "Oh, I see. I was just wondering if it was appropriate to go straight into your main house. I see."
"Why is the Yun family here today...? This child? I remember the Yun family has always been unmarried..."
Manager Lin looked at Yun Qingjin. Only the people in the Yun family and a few friends knew about Yun Yuke's adoption of the child; no one else had been informed.
“I found this child. He looked pitiful, and I don’t have many important things to do usually, so taking care of the child is just a small thing for me.”
"If this child is frail and sickly, you'd better make plans as soon as possible, otherwise it will only burden your daily life," Manager Lin said, rambling on and on without getting to the point.
Yun Yuke waved her hand, "What Manager Lin said is true. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I have consulted a doctor, and the child's condition is alright. I have a connection with this child, so why should I give up?"
Yun Yuke turned her head and looked at him. "Speaking of this child, I do have something I'd like to ask Manager Lin for his advice."
"What's the matter?"
"As you know, my family doesn't have much suitable furniture for the child. I was thinking of buying some materials from you to have a new set of furniture made for the child."
This was something Yun Yuke had thought about before leaving home. Since she was going to a lumber shop, she needed a suitable reason to be there.
Making furniture for children is, for the sake of argument, a reasonably valid reason.
“Perfect, I can just look at the materials and choose them right here in your warehouse.”
As she spoke, Yun Yuke stepped out the door.
Manager Lin was at a loss for words. He turned to look at Yun Qingjin, who was still lying on the couch. Seeing that the child was still asleep, he got up.
But in the blink of an eye, Yun Qingjin had already returned to the courtyard and was examining the timber there, so he had no choice but to hurry over.
Yun Yuke didn't know much about wood, so she could only observe its condition first.
Although Manager Lin said there were waterproofing measures in place, the timber in the courtyard was piled up in the open without any covering.
When you touch it, the entire material is damp.
"Boss Lin, this batch of materials seems to be completely soaked. How are you going to sell them?"
