Chapter 237 Note
It was obvious that the little guy was attracted by the sweet smell of meat, and his eyes were fixed on the plate of bright red crispy meat.
Wang Jinyi then ordered the second dish: "This is crispy chicken."
A whole golden crispy chicken appeared in front of the family on the plate. The chicken was bright golden and full of fragrance.
This time even my brother asked:
"How did Jin'er do this? The whole room is filled with fragrance!"
Wang Jinyi pretended to be mysterious and said:
"Don't worry, there's more to come. If you think it tastes good, eat more later!"
Next came the steamed fish, fried fruit pie, fresh crystal pork elbow and a refreshing small green vegetable, plus a bowl of hibiscus vegetable soup.
All the dishes were served, the table was full of color and fragrance. My younger brother couldn't wait any longer and kept pointing at the table and looking at his mother.
After the father took the first piece of food with his chopsticks, the mother personally picked up a piece of crispy red pork for her younger son and put it in the child's bowl. She then picked up a piece of meat for her older son and daughter respectively. The mother was demonstrating table etiquette with her actions, respecting parents and ensuring equality among children.
Wang Wenxin ate it directly with a spoon, stuffing the whole piece of meat into his mouth. The result can be imagined.
Half of the meat is in the mouth, and half of the meat is outside the mouth, and the red and fragrant gravy flows freely through the mouth.
He was still reluctant to give up and kept putting the spoon into his mouth, fearing that the other half of the meat would be snatched away by someone else.
As a result, the whole family at the table had to enjoy the fierce battle between the younger brother and the mouth full of meat. The scene was quite intense. Wang Wenxin won a tragic victory. His mouth was full of red sauce and he was still not satisfied. He stared at the empty plate and refused to look away.
The whole family looked at him and laughed.
In the evening, my grandfather returned home and went directly to Mingdongsi to meet with the elders of the clan.
After checking the accounts, Qingyu returned to the backyard and said to the young lady:
"We haven't even settled the bill yet, but the master has invited the elders to the main hall. I saw the elders brought several letters, saying they were from the clan to the master. This is the note the elders left for Miss, asking you to reply quickly."
Wang Jinyi took the note and took a look at it. What was written on the note was very simple. It said that the clan wanted to acquire Ku Shui Mountain and asked Wang Jinyi if he was willing to sell it.
Wang Jinyi held the note tightly and asked Qingyu:
“Do we have any payments to make this month?”
"Miss, the projects we initially cooperated with the tribe were all settled every three months, and the payment was made on the 10th of the third month. Have you forgotten? The projects you said you would sponsor for others were all settled on the 10th!"
Wang Jinyi nodded silently and asked:
"Qingyu, the farm we bought last year, is there any profit this year?"
"Miss, you bought a piece of wasteland last year. The yield of that land is not good. Tell the village head what you can plant and let him try it. Fuling even helped them build a house with local materials.
The head of the village led people to level the land for more than half a year. This year, they received beans and sweet potatoes, so they can have food to eat and will not go hungry.
The lady told me that you made a loss by buying this piece of land."
"Qingyu, what is your brother doing now?"
"After he returned home after his indenture was completed, he was kicked out by my stepmother. I have been supporting him for the past few years. He has been living alone outside, earning money by doing odd jobs to support himself."
"Write him a letter and ask if he's willing to work on the farm, but I need him to sign a contract to sell himself."
"Miss, you want to help him like you helped me, right? Miss, you are so kind, you gave him a way out!"
"Why are you exaggerating? I'm helping you because you're capable. Besides, your father is only interested in the money. He made you sign the contract to sell yourself so that he wouldn't think of you anymore."
"But Miss, I don't want my father to still hold my brother in his hands."
"Qingyu, this requires your brother's willingness and your father's consent."
"Miss, I understand. I will write a letter to my brother. He will understand and he will find a way."
"But it's best to let your brother think it over carefully. This is different from the ten-year contract he signed last time, and he can't regret it. You have to understand!"
"Even if the young lady was a tenant farmer in the Wang family, you still gave him a meal, and he wouldn't be living in such a miserable state as he is now."
"Don't make it so final. Let him make his own decision!"
Qingyu thanked the young lady profusely and went out.
Wang Jinyi held the note tightly, and after thinking it over, she went out to her study. Mo Yu stood up from the desk with a small notebook and called out, "Miss."
Wang Jinyi asked: "Did anyone leave a message for me today?"
Qingyu opened the little notebook and began to read:
"Miss, Wang Luanhe replied that he has sent the people out.
Wen Bai replied that Zhao Chunming had already received the money and would go to Xunnan County in half a day.
The eldest lady sent someone to say…"
"Is there anything else that needs to be addressed?"
"Yes, Miss, Zhen Workshop said the blueprints..."
"Mo Yu informed Wang Luanhe and Wen Bai to hold a meeting at Mingdong Division at 7 am tomorrow. Do not be late. Come on, let's go!"
Mo Yu went out in a hurry.
When working in the study, he always rests later than the young lady, and is always prepared for the young lady to come over and arrange work. This is why Wang Jinyi chose the smart and capable Mo Yu.
Wang Jinyi unfolded the note in his hand and read it again. It was indeed that the clan wanted to acquire Ku Shui Mountain.
Wang Jinyi rested his hand on his chin and tilted his head, lost in thought: There is a salt mine behind Ku Shui Mountain. My grandfather has already asked someone to survey it. It seems that my grandfather is cooperating with the court.
What was the purpose of the clan buying Kushui Mountain at this time? Was it just for money? I couldn't make a decision myself. I had to inform my father and ask for advice from my grandfather.
Thinking of this, Wang Jinyi picked up a pencil and left a note: Compile a list of personnel for Ku Shui Mountain.
Mo Yu will know what to do when he comes back.
Wang Jinyi followed his father to the upper room.
The grandparents were ready to rest. When they heard that the father and daughter from the second branch had arrived, the two old people knew that Wang Jinyi had something to do, so they had Wang Jinyi and her father arranged to stay in the study.
As soon as the father sat down, he glanced at his daughter. Wang Jinyi handed the note written by the clan elder to his father. After reading it, the father asked:
"Jin'er has a mountain under his name?"
"Dad, the problem is not the mountain, but this mountain is a little special. Grandfather knows a lot about this mountain. Now the clan wants to buy this mountain, and I want to ask for your advice."
The father hesitated and asked:
"Is Jin'er involved in this mountain?"
"Yes!"
"Jin'er, do you think you can talk to your father about this?"
Wang Jinyi thought that his father should have a general understanding of the situation, so he briefly talked about Ku Shui Mountain and the discovery of the salt mine, and later his grandfather took over the salt mine.
Wang Jinyi gave a rough explanation, but his father listened very carefully, and he could even see that he was a little nervous. Just as Wang Jinyi was about to comfort his father, his grandparents came in, fully dressed.
After greeting each other and sitting down, without speaking to Wang Jinyi, my father handed the note in his hand to my grandfather.
