Chapter 825 - 825: Persuasion
As it turned out, Li Qiuxiang was right.
The next day, Li Xiaoran asked someone to send over a lot of daily necessities. For example, closets, pots, pans, and the clothes Li Qiuxiang’s family was wearing.
In addition, there were also supplies for two ox carts.
For example, rice, noodles, lard, meat, various ingredients, and condiments.
With these things, Li Qiuxiang’s family could settle down in the farmstead.
Wu Qinghe also brought the money he had plundered from the Wu family and handed it to Li Qiuxiang.
Initially, Li Qiuxiang didn’t want it, but Li Xiaoran persuaded her to accept it.
Li Xiaoran said, “Sister Qiuxiang, the Wu family has let you down. Take this as your compensation! Don’t refuse. Think about it, your parents are still waiting for you to retire! This time, your family can live in the farmstead in peace. If you want to earn money, work on the farmstead. As long as you’re diligent, it’ll be enough to cover your family’s expenses.”
She wasn’t lying to Li Qiuxiang. That was the truth.
The farmstead was developing better and better now, and there was more and more work to do every day.
Once, Luo Ziyang realized that someone was taking advantage of others, so he came back to complain.
Coincidentally, Li Xiaoran heard this, so she thought of a way.
The entire farmstead had set up a mission center. Whenever some place needed people to work, they could go straight to the mission center to register. The people in the mission center would be in charge of sending the news out. Those who were willing to go would gather at the corresponding mission location. Then, the people in the mission center would be in charge of supervising every day and would distribute pay!
Of course, the people in the mission center were people Luo Cheng and the others trusted. At the same time, they would be randomly investigated every month. If anyone was found to have embezzled money, they would be sent to a remote place to dig coal.
After this reorganization, things in the farmstead improved a lot. Everyone became more proactive.
At the same time, the people in the farmstead would also go to the mission center to issue missions if they needed anything. There would also be people who would take on jobs to earn money.
For example, there were many men in the farmstead and none of them was willing to wash clothes, so they would issue laundry missions. Then, women who knew how to wash clothes could also take on such missions to earn money.
This way, the men’s problem would be resolved, and the women would find a way to earn money. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Li Qiuxiang’s family was diligent, so with their hard work, it was easy for them to earn money on the farmstead!
When Li Qiuxiang heard about the way to earn money on the farmstead, her eyes lit up. Then, she accepted the money from Wu Qinghe and decided to start over in the farmstead.
With Li Qiuxiang’s matter resolved, Li Xiaoran felt relieved.
No matter what, Li Qiuxiang’s family’s matter concerned her.
Since she had encountered this matter, she would help if she could!
They were on their own for the rest of their lives.
Luo Cheng had already learned everything from Zi Cheng yesterday.
To be honest, Luo Cheng was very angry and was thinking about how to deal with the Wu family.
However, there were some things he still needed to discuss with Li Xiaoran to avoid mishaps.
After Li Xiaoran returned from the farmstead, she went to see Luo Cheng. The couple sat in a small tea room by the study and chatted about this while drinking tea.
“Xiaoran, did you hear what Old Master Wu said?” Luo Cheng asked directly.
Li Xiaoran took a sip of tea and nodded.
“After Old Master Wu found out about my identity, he schemed against me. However, in the beginning, they wanted to use business to tie me down and prevent me from leaving. Unexpectedly, after I saw through the scheme and exposed their actions, they started to change their attitude. Husband, I originally didn’t plan to do anything to the Wu family, but in the end, the Wu family used Sister Qiuxiang’s parents to threaten her. This made me feel a little disdainful, so I drugged them and taught them a lesson!”
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and asked, “Then are there really factions supporting the Wu family?”
Li Xiaoran said, “That’s right. I heard Old Master Wu address someone as ‘Lord’, but I don’t know who that ‘Lord’ is! What I’m sure of is that Old Master Wu is definitely not someone who has kind intentions towards us. Since the person behind him wanted to lure you over through me, I believe you have something that the mastermind wants!”
“Xiaoran, why do you think the other party has designs on me? What if the other party wants me dead?” Luo Cheng asked.
Li Xiaoran reminded him seriously, “If they wanted you dead, they would have released the news that I was caught by them. Then, you probably would have gone to rescue them. No matter how many experts you brought, they probably would have died in the Wu family’s home! Husband, don’t forget that the Wu family even used the Taiji Eight Trigrams Array to set up their family’s residence. Even Wu Qinghe, a very powerful diviner, couldn’t divine anything after entering the Wu family’s residence! Don’t you think the Wu family has some tricks up their sleeves?!”
“There’s such a thing?” Luo Cheng asked in surprise.
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “That’s right. You can call Wu Qinghe over and ask him carefully! Therefore, don’t bring people up to deal with the Wu family yet, or else the gains won’t make up for the losses! Besides, if you want to destroy the Wu family, you can use other methods! You have to know that Zi Cheng drugged those people from the Wu family, not to mention that they were drugged by the knockout medicine you made. If I’m not mistaken, the Wu family is already in chaos! No matter how strong their fortress is, it might collapse from the inside!”
“Besides, I think the most important thing for us to do now is to buy cows and make milk tea. We can also tell the other cattle farmers that the Wu family’s members are unconscious. Don’t you think the other party will take advantage of the chaos to snatch the Wu family’s business?”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately laughed.
“As expected, your ideas are more practical! We don’t even have to do anything to see the Wu family self-destruct!”
“That’s right. We don’t even have to do anything for the Wu family to be dealt with, so why not?!” Li Xiaoran smiled as she said, “We can use the least effort to get rid of our biggest trouble!”
Luo Cheng thought of something and said, “Alright, alright, alright.. Then I’ll listen to you and won’t bring anyone to cause trouble for the Wu family!
However, I still have to ask Wu Qinghe about the Wu family’s house in detail!”
