Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Just Watch and See Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Just Watch and See Upon seeing Liu Baixiao leave to attend to the task, Liu Yushui felt sowhat relieved and with the assistance of the maids, she returned to her room.
…
“Master, are we sure our plan for the Liu family will work?”
In the Zhou household, Madam Zhou and her husband were sitting in a small courtyard, waiting for the disastrous news about the Liu family. This way, their son could break off the engagent and nobody would bla the Zhou family.
“Why wouldn’t it work? This actually benefits those old folks from the Liu family!” Zhou Jitang glanced at his wife, with no reason to feel guilty about their actions.
It wasn’t as if they had asked the family to take the Liu boy’s life, they just wanted so money. Once his reputation was ruined, that would be enough.
If it weren’t for his son’s upcoming examination, which couldn’t afford any complications, he wouldn’t have settled so easily with Liu Rui and her duaghter Liu Yushui.
Anyone who tries to sche against his son and ends up leading him astray, had to pay the price!
“Has everything been taken care of with that doctor from the pharmacy?” he asked.
“Yes, everything’s ready. The doctor will confirm that the man was Liu Qingshui, and nobody will be willing to take the bla for him. All we have to do is break off the engagent then.”
Madam Zhou laughed slyly, giving Zhou Jitang a secretive smile.
Her husband only ntioned breaking off the engagent, but how could she let Liu Yushui off so easily? She must pay the price!
“Just wait and see.”
“Hmmm.”
Zhou Jitang, reassured by her words, relaxed.
…
In Ya Village, the work on Manghuang Mountain continued. After three days, nothing had happened. It seed like all the effort Ya Molian had put into bringing the villagers here had been futile.
Lin Caisang had also been waiting for three days, no one from the county office had shown up. Her tense nerves had finally relaxed.
As per Lin Caisang’s instructions, they used the dry weather to build the bamboo houses, the drying and herbal rooms on Manghuang Mountain. The previously designated areas for drying crops when they were harvested were slowly being arranged.
Lin Changhong didn’t have the ti to visit Manghuang Mountain, so all of this was left to Ya Molian, who had the best relationship with the Lin Family.
Of course, Lin Caisang had beco more and more adept at delegating tasks to Ya Molian. Anything handed over to him was handled flawlessly.
“The village chief and others who ca last ti were invited by you, weren’t they?” Inside the half-constructed drying room, Lin Caisang turned towards Ya Molian, his hands covered in mud, and asked softly.
There could be no one else who could pull that off as flawlessly as him.
“You want to thank ?”
Ya Molian turned his head, gave her a small smile, and then continued with his tasks.
“This matter isn’t over yet. But rest assured, I’ll keep an eye on Lin Changfeng. He’ll be alright.”
He said.
Lin Caisang: “…”
Was this just a roundabout way of saying that there was nothing much for Lin Changhong to do at ho, and he could co up the mountain to work? But with so many people on the mountain, even without Lin Changhong, things wouldn’t get too chaotic, right? The task of bookkeeping had been handed over to Ya Molian, and for all other matters, if the people on the mountain were unsure about anything, she could handle it herself.
“I looked at the drawings you made, and for ordinary carpenters, those water wheels could be a challenge. Your Third Uncle might not be able to fully understand them,” Ya Molian added.
