Chapter 109 The Chen Family's Follow-up
The medicine garden and the pharmacy require a lot of manpower, but these are not trivial matters, she has to plan them carefully.
While Yun Fuling was thinking, she surveyed the area around Shuanglin Village to see if there was any place suitable for building a medicine garden and pharmacy.
After taking a look, I actually took a liking to two places.
After returning, Yun Fuling called Boss Wu and told him, "Go and ask if the hilltop to the north of the village has an owner? And if the wasteland near the river at the end of the village is ownerless, ask about the price and the ins and outs of it, and see how to purchase it."
Boss Wu was about to agree, but Yaoguang suddenly said, "Master, let me handle this matter?"
Yaoguang had previously accompanied Yun Fuling on a walk around the village, and discovered that she had been looking at the wastelands and hills outside the village.
She didn't understand what he meant before, but now she realized that Yun Fuling wanted to buy land.
Even if it is wasteland, you have to go through the government to purchase it. It would be better to let her deal with the government instead of leaving it to Boss Wu.
Not to mention anything else, just by mentioning the name of Prince Yi, the officials below would rush to get things done.
Moreover, this is also a perfect opportunity for the prince to please the princess.
Yun Fuling thought about it and felt that Yaoguang used to be Xiao Jingyi's man and was knowledgeable and experienced, so she must have more connections than an ordinary citizen like Boss Wu.
She nodded in agreement.
Boss Wu, who was standing by, couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, as he felt that his younger brother's position was in jeopardy.
It was true that when Yun Fuling came back this time, not only was Yaoguang following her closely, she also brought back several guards.
This kind of scene is indeed a little different from before.
Boss Wu was afraid that he would be replaced by someone else.
Yun Fuling seemed to see Boss Wu's anxiety and immediately found him a job of selecting herbal seeds.
Yun Fuling had previously sent a message to Shopkeeper Hang, asking him to help her collect some herbal seeds, so when she went to Ping'an Hall today, in addition to buying some prepared medicinal materials, she also went to get the herbal seeds.
However, the seeds were of varying quality, so Yun Fuling asked Boss Wu to pick out the plump and good seeds.
Yun Fuling planned to use the wasteland reclaimed by Zhang Sanmu and his team to grow medicinal herbs.
When Boss Wu got the assignment, he immediately went to work happily.
Yun Fuling saw this and couldn't help but shook her head in amusement. She felt that Boss Wu was trying to win favor just now.
Seeing that the sun was getting higher, Yun Fuling went to take a walk around the makeshift kitchen.
The two women hired to cook were preparing lunch for Master Yu and his friends in the kitchen.
They were all familiar people in the village, and the two women were very grateful for Yun Fuling's job, so when they saw Yun Fuling coming over, they greeted her with a smile.
Yun Fuling also greeted them with a smile, and then asked them to make more for lunch.
After all, the guards brought by Yun Fuling also need to eat, so why not let them eat from the same pot with Yu Dajiang and others.
Because she had to cook for more people, Yun Fuling asked them to each take a bowl of meat when they left, as overtime pay.
The two women immediately smiled and thanked him repeatedly.
Although they could eat a little while cooking, Boss Wu was not someone that could be fooled, and they were afraid of losing their jobs, so they didn't dare to overdo it.
Things like secretly taking some food home, something I would never dare to do.
Now that I can bring back a bowl of meat with a clear conscience to satisfy my family’s cravings, I am naturally happy.
Yun Fuling took a walk around the kitchen, then rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen to cook a few dishes for Yun Jingmo.
When Yun Jingmo came back and saw the sweet and sour pork ribs, cabbage meatballs and shrimps in tomato sauce on the table, he knew that his mother had cooked for him personally.
Yun Jingmo happily threw himself into Yun Fuling's arms, "Mom, you are so nice!"
Yun Fuling has been very busy these days and has no time or energy to cook for him.
Yun Jingmo was sensible enough not to make trouble for his mother, but in his heart he really wanted to eat the food his mother cooked.
The food my mother cooks is the most delicious in the world!
Yun Fuling was in a good mood today, and thinking that she hadn't cooked for many days, she cooked a few dishes.
Seeing Yun Jingmo's happy expression, Yun Fuling couldn't help but reflect on herself. She had indeed neglected Yun Jingmo a little in recent days.
Ever since Yun Jingmo and Xiao Jingyi recognized each other as father and son, Yun Fuling mostly left Yun Jingmo to Xiao Jingyi to take care of while she concentrated on her own affairs.
Yun Fuling tapped Yun Jingmo's nose and said, "Look at all the dirt on you. You're so dirty. Go wash yourself."
Yun Fuling fetched some water, and while Yun Jingmo was washing his hands, he happily shared with Yun Fuling the stories about him and his friends.
"Brother Changji and the others are going to take me to the mountains to pick fruits. There are many delicious wild fruits in the mountains."
"I also distributed snacks and lotus pods to Brother Changji, Hutou and Chunsheng. They were all very envious of me for being able to row a boat and pick lotus pods."
“The other kids were drooling when they saw us eating snacks, so I gave each of them a piece of snack.”
"I also saw Chen Xiaobao. He was dark and thin now, and his clothes were dirty. He was completely different from before. I didn't recognize him."
"I heard from Hu Tou that he was so pitiful right now. Everyone had some snacks but he didn't have any, so I gave him one too."
"I didn't expect him to just take the snacks and run away without even thanking me. He has no manners at all!"
Yun Jingmo angrily complained to Yun Fuling.
Yun Fuling also heard some things about the Chen family from the villagers today.
Ever since Chen Lao Er pushed Chen Ersao into the tiger's mouth and protected himself from disaster, Chen Xiaobao has been resentful towards his father.
Chen Laoer felt a little guilty at first, but Chen Xiaobao exposed his shortcomings in public, causing him to be pointed at by the villagers. Chen Laoer also felt resentful towards Chen Xiaobao.
A rift developed between the father and son, and neither of them was willing to be the first to make peace.
Old Mrs. Chen has been trying hard to reconcile the father and son, but with little success, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted.
After settling down in Shuanglin Village, Chen Laoer became idle and did not return home all day. When it was time for dinner, he would go directly to his eldest brother's house to eat.
Although the Chen family has split up, the eldest wife not only has to support Old Mrs. Chen, but now also has to take care of the food and clothing of Old Second Chen and Chen Xiaobao. How is this different from not splitting up the family?
For some reason, Mrs. Chen suddenly became tough and refused to care about Chen Laoer and his son.
Boss Chen felt sorry for his brothers and nephews, thinking that it was just a matter of letting them have a meal at home.
The couple often quarreled over this.
It was during an argument that Mrs. Chen, in a fit of anger, finally spoke out her true thoughts.
She was frightened by the scene where Chen Laoer pushed Chen Ersao into the tiger's mouth.
Only a very crazy person could do such a thing!
Simply not human!
She was afraid that Chen Lao Er would harm their family in the future, and she was even more afraid of Chen Xiaobao's father, so she wanted to stay away from them and no longer have any contact with them.
When Chen Laoer was exposed by Chen Dasao, he became furious and would have hit Chen Dasao if no one had stopped him.
