Chapter 665 Something Happened to the Wang Family

"Then I'll let the children handle it, and I'll come over in a few days to report back to you."

Chief Ling was very satisfied with Ling's father's attitude. "Alright, it's settled then."

With the matter resolved, the soap issue was addressed first. The women of the Ling family discussed and selected a few reliable women in the village. Liu would find them, pay them wages, and then have them come and work.

The affairs of the soap workshop were managed by Chief Ling, and the money came from the soap workshop's accounts.

They selected two accountants. One was the only daughter in the village, but she was from another family and had a low profile in the village. However, her whole family was very kind in the village, and they even lent money to the Ling family this time.

He was also a small owner of a soap workshop.

The other is a 20-year-old youth from the village. His family is of average means, but his family members are of good character. His grandfather takes medicine all year round, so the family has not accumulated any savings.

He has two younger sisters and one younger brother.

Given these conditions, when the village first opened a school, several children came. The girl and the young man chosen were all children who learned quickly and were very diligent.

The young man was already engaged and planned to get married after the New Year.

Du Mingxian specially trained the two people, and the Ling family members also attended the class. The restaurant was about to open and needed manpower, including someone to keep accounts.

The family was extremely busy. Du Mingxian and Ling Silang went to the county to check on the two shops that the Wang family had given her. One of them had been rented out by her, and the other was being managed by the Wang family. They wondered how it was doing now.

As they left the village, there were few people on the road, so Du Mingxian took the carriage out of her spatial storage. "Let's take the carriage home today. It'll be more convenient if anything comes up. Without a carriage, it's really inconvenient to go anywhere."

"Okay, anyway, everyone already knows that we're not that nervous."

"Ah."

Ling Silang drove the carriage ahead, while Du Mingxian held An'an in her arms inside. The carriage curtain was drawn, and the carriage moved very slowly. An'an, a small toddler, looked out curiously and didn't want to fall asleep.

Du Mingxian and Ling Silang walked and played with the child.

Upon arriving in the county, they went directly to the shop, which previously sold rouge and other cosmetics. All of these were handmade by Du Mingxian, who had left behind many items when she left.

At the time, I thought that if we ran out of goods here, we would find a security escort agency to send them back. No one expected that we would be intercepted after only two days. Later, my life was in the hands of others, so I couldn't care less about a shop.

The shop door was open, but it had now become a general store. Du Mingxian walked in and saw a familiar face.

There were no customers at the moment, and the innkeeper was reading a book with his head down. Sensing someone coming in and blocking the light, he instinctively asked, "What would you like to order, sir?"

Looking up, I saw Du Mingxian's smiling face. "Boss."

Seeing that he was still the same as before, Du Mingxian asked, "Are you alright?"

"Thank goodness, boss, you've finally arrived." Chen Yu was inwardly bitter. He had been supplying goods to his boss and felt he could make something of himself, but suddenly his boss became unreachable.

One or two months was fine, but it definitely wouldn't work in the long run. After much deliberation, he converted the shop into a general store, barely making ends meet, and there was no hope for the future.

Du Mingxian glanced at the shop; it was simply furnished and there weren't many people inside. "Let's talk in the backyard."

"Okay, I'll close the shop now."

When the group arrived at the backyard, Chen Yu quickly poured them water before nervously explaining, "After the owner left, I couldn't contact him and got quite anxious. Eventually, I had no choice but to renovate the shop, turning it into the general store it is today."

“That’s great. We had something to do out of town and couldn’t supply you with goods, but you’re flexible. That’s good.”

Chen was relieved to see that Du Mingxian wasn't angry. He hurriedly went out and brought in the account books, saying, "Boss, these are the account books for the past few years."

"Okay, I'll take it with me to take a look later."

"Then the silver, master, take it with you."

"Row."

Chen Yu went out and came back with a box in his hand. Du Mingxian didn't open it to look at it, but just put it away. "We just got back, and we don't have much time to manage the shop yet. You can continue to manage it as before. I'll think it over when I get back and let you know."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian didn't plan to stay in the shop any longer. After finishing her business, she was about to leave when Chen Yu hesitated for a moment before asking, "Does the owner know anything about the Wang family?"

Du Mingxian was slightly taken aback. Seeing Chen Yu's troubled expression and his hesitant manner, she sensed that something had happened. "What happened?"

“The Wang family has offended someone, and they are now being forced to sell off their assets. The situation is not good, and they have been in this situation for more than a year.”

Du Mingxian's heart sank. The Ling family was in trouble, and now the Wang family was in trouble too.

She should have realized this sooner. The Wang family is in a good position. If the Ling family were in trouble, the Wang family would definitely have helped, instead of showing no reaction at all like they have now.

The village schoolteacher was originally hired by the Wang family. When the Ling family had their accident, the schoolteacher left. It must have been the Wang family that had their accident, which is why the schoolteacher left.

"I understand, you can go ahead with your work."

As they left the shop, Du Mingxian frowned. "Let's go to the Wang family's house."

"Then go to the Xu family and have them send a message back home, otherwise they'll start worrying again."

"Yes, we'll take two people with us when we leave."

Ling Silang thought for a moment and said, "It's still early today. Let Qiu Shu ride a horse to the village and bring Chen Ming over. We'll take him with us."

"it is good."

When the two arrived at the Xu family's house, Qiu Shu and the others were not there... only Wang Fu was present.

Du Mingxian got off the carriage. "Wang Fu, go to the Ling family now and bring Chen Ming over. Also, tell my family that we're going away for a few days. Tell them not to worry and that we'll be back soon."

"Yes." Wang Fu was happy. He wanted to follow Du Mingxian back this time, but Du Mingxian rarely came to the county.

Du Mingxian and Ling Silang carried the child into the Xu family home, while Wang Fu drove the carriage away by himself.

Only Old Madam Xu was at home. The others, including Madam Zhou, were busy at the shop. Ling Sanlang had recovered a lot in the past few days. When the two of them went in, he was lying in the courtyard sunbathing.

When she suddenly saw her younger brother and sister-in-law come in, she was overjoyed. "Si Lang, Ming Xian, you're here!"

"Third Brother, it seems you've taken good care of him." Ling Silang was very happy to see that Ling Sanlang was not in good condition.

Ling Sanlang smiled sheepishly, “Uncle Xu took such good care of me, it would be hard for me not to be well taken care of. You have no idea how meticulous Uncle Xu is in caring for people.”

After holding it in for several days, Ling Sanlang really wanted to have a good talk with the two of them about how they had been treated these past two days.

Seeing that the two brothers were having a good time, Du Mingxian took the child to Grandma Xu's room.
