Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 480: Reunion

The two were surprised and happy, nodding again and again.
Steward Qin smiled and said wryly: “This matter has nothing to do with Miss, it’s just our wishful thinking.
This year, Miss has been busy all day, how could we trouble you with our private affairs? You have only just started living your life, why would you know of these matters? However…”

He looked embarrassed.
“We have just found out that our families are in Jiangxi.
Here are the specific addresses, three places in total.”

As he spoke, he pulled a list from his clothes and handed it to Lian Fang Zhou.

Lian Fang Zhou took it and briefly looked it over before nodding.
Smiling, she said: “Don’t worry.
No matter what, I will definitely help redeem them! This time, I will have to trouble my cousin and cousin-in-law.”

This was not a matter of money, you needed to have connections and Lian Fang Zhou had no choice but to ask the Su family for help.
Although she had a lot of funds now, her connects were very bare compared to the Su family.

Hearing this, Steward Qin and Manager Su were overjoyed.
If the Su family was willing to step in, it definitely would not be impossible.
The network of their family’s businesses, marriage ties, and allies was spread far and wide.
At the very least, they had a good relationship with most of Jiangxi and they could definitely make this happen.

Immediately, the two knelt down and kowtowed to Lian Fang Zhou endlessly, to the point that Lian Fang Zhou had to get up and encourage them to stand, comforting them with kind words.

Manager Su sighed: “It’s a pity.
It would be great if the boss was also in the southwest.
At least I could take care of him.”

The boss he was talking about was his former supervisor, Official Ding.
Unlike them, who had been sold in the southeast, he had been exiled to Southern Xinjiang.

Official Ding had been a high-ranking imperial court official and punishments for his rank were exile.
The two of them were only minor officials and were not even qualified for exile, they could only be sold as slaves.

Hearing Manager Su, Steward Qin’s eyes darkened and his previous joy as dulled by a lot.
He sighed softly.

“The Ji people have their own morals and Official Ding will be fine.” Lian Fang Zhou persuaded.
“The conditions at the southern border are not necessarily as bad as you think.
If there is a chance, I will send someone to enquire.”

Manager Su and Steward Qin were naturally very grateful.

According to the address provided by Steward Qin, Lian Fang Zhou was able to redeem his wife, Madam Ruan, their two teenage sons, Qin Guang Li and Qin Guang Yan, and Steward Su’s family, Madam Song and their two children, Su Long and Su Qian.

It was sad and happy to see the close family hugging each other and crying.

Although the two families had suffered the separation of flesh and blood, fortunately they had been reunited and these sufferings could be forgotten.

Sometimes the happiness that came through hardship was even more cherished.

Lian Fang Zhou announced that everyone had worked hard this year and to celebrate, everyone would receive new cloths and a big red envelope.

It was very lively.

The servants and employees were naturally thrilled and quickly started preparing everything.

Before the end of the year, Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian went back to Xiaowang village to find Old Man Wang.
Lian Fang Zhou wanted to raise ducks and chickens in Luozhi mountain in the spring, so naturally she needed a lot of chicks and ducklings.
The number would be in the thousands.

Such a huge amount could not be bought at once, so she could only find Old Man Wang to see if there was a way.

Unfortunately, Old Man Wang’s method of raising was too draining and he couldn’t work continuously.
But Lian Fang Zhou didn’t have time to wait.

The last time they had come, Lian Fang Zhou had looked at Old Man Wang’s exhausted, haggard face, and couldn’t help but feel a little guilty and sympathetic.
She felt that Old Man Wang could die at any moment.

This is why she had decided to try and see if she could make a simple thermometer.

With this to monitor the temperature at any time, people did not need to exhaust their efforts to watch the eggs.
Coupled with Old Man Wang’s many years of experience, it would be very easy for him.

His son could even manage it alone.

The main parts, mercury, western glass, and such could be obtained through the Su family.
And when she had mentioned the matter to Su Zi Ji, he had been very interested.

But this matter could not be rushed.
It was just for Su Zi Ji to think about and try in his spare time, after dealing with the cotton.
It wasn’t until recently that he found a breakthrough and finally succeeded!

Naturally, Lian Fang Zhou was thrilled.
She planned to send it to give it to Old Man Wang and his son as soon as possible.
This why, they would not be too unfamiliar with it.

The same day that Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian went to visit Old Man Wang, Lian Ze also went out to look at the oil mills and check their accounts.

By now, they owned three oil mills in three counties, all of which had been handed over to Lian Ze to manage in the future.
It would only be beneficial to let him get acquainted with them earlier.

To visit all three mills, it would take him at least two days to return home.

However, no one expected that not long after the three of them left the house, something would happen.

That afternoon, Third Aunt, Lian Fang Qing, and Lian Che had lunch together and then Lian Che went to his study.

Now that school was on vacation, he could take a break but he had always silently remembered what his sister had told him about Master Ding.
Even though he was on vacation, he didn’t dare to relax.

After so much time, there was less and less that he didn’t know but he still worked harder.

Third Aunt and Lian Fang Qing had nothing to do.
After cooking, they just relaxed and ate snacks.

Suddenly, there was a loud knocking at the door, startling both of them.
The happy and relax mood from earlier was gone and they looked at each other unhappily.

“Who is so rude?” Lian Fang Qing pouted, “They’re so annoying!”

“Who else?” Third Aunt muttered, putting down the handful of melon seeds she was holding and dusting off her hands.
“Madam Qiao has been honest for so long, what kind of shit has she saved up? You don’t have to pay attention to her, wait for me to go out and scold her!”

Saying this, Third Aunt rushed out with great momentum, shoving the door open with a loud clang.
She was scolding before she even got outside, shouting: “You—”

But the words caught in her throat and were blocked in her chest.
She couldn’t help but take a step back, her face extremely ugly and her wide eyes spitting fire.
“You! Why is it you two? What are you doing here?!”

She gave a disgusted ‘peh’ at the men and women.
“Go away! You are not welcome here! Go away!”

“You dare to scold us? What kind of thing are you?” A woman with tall bones and a long face scolded Third Aunt in a shrill voice.
Her wide black and white eyes stared at Third Aunt without showing any weakness and her jabbing finger almost poked Third Aunt’s forehead.

Third Aunt showed a rare look of embarrassment and took two steps back angrily: “You, what are you doing? This is not your home, we can’t tolerate your arrogance!”

 “Yo, what are you talking about, I don’t understand!” The woman narrowed her eyes sourly.
