C20 To Town
Ever since Chen Fuyue told Madame Chen Min that the people here only had one dish to eat, she had planned to start from this point of view and prepare the first step for her own business.
Chen Fuyue looked at the contract carefully. The farmers here were relatively free. Besides the farmland, houses and tools of production that didn't belong to her, as long as she paid enough rent every year, she would be able to freely control everything else.
Previously, Luo Yixiao used the stolen money he had plundered from San Wu Steel to give a portion to the tenants as compensation to everyone. This made everyone jump in joy, and now, not to mention Luo Yixiao, every household had their own share.
Chen Fuyue and Madame Chen Min discussed using the money to buy some things at the market.
Madame Chen Min agreed. There were carriages that went to the market and there would be a set time for them to set off.
Under normal circumstances, as long as Tenant Administrator said that he agreed to it.
But now that Old Tenant Administrator had been captured and the new Wu Steel was in the future, Luo Xian, the housekeeper, could handle everything in the manor for the time being.
When Chen Fuyue went to Luo Xian, he was busy dealing with the accounts in the manor.
Zhang Tenant Administrator's rotten debt was too much and too much for Luo Yixiao to handle alone, so he transferred two people over from the Luo Mansion one by one to help him.
Seeing Chen Fuyue, Luo Xian asked with a serious expression, "What's the matter?"
Chen Fuyue explained the reason why she came. Luo Xian agreed without asking too much.
Just as he was about to go back, he met Luo Yixiao, who just came in.
"Young master, good luck." Chen Fuyue bowed.
Luo Yixiao hadn't seen Chen Fuyue for a few days. The moment he got close to her, he felt that familiar and comfortable feeling spread throughout his body.
"You have something to talk to Luo Xian about?"
Chen Fuyue told him about her desire to go to the market.
Luo Yixiao thought for a while. "I happen to be going there later. Why don't you come with me?"
The car would leave two days later. Chen Fuyue would definitely be happy to go as soon as possible. Moreover, she was very trusting of Luo Yixiao now, so she agreed without any hesitation.
After Chen Fuyue had left, Luo Xian went up to Luo Yixiao and advised him, "Young master, it's impolite to be so polite. You're someone with status, she's just a peasant girl."
Luo Yixiao shook his head indifferently, "Have you finished counting?"
Luo Xian was surprised and replied, "Not yet."
"Then continue with the calculations. After this period of time, the new Tenant Administrator that father has arranged will come. When that time comes, don't leave anything out on the transfer."
Luo Xian knew that Luo Yixiao didn't want to hear anything, so he could only reply with a "Yes".
When Chen Fuyue returned home, she told Madame Chen Min that Luo Yixiao would bring her to the market today.
Madame Chen Min gave her the silver and reminded her not to offend Luo Yixiao.
Chen Fuyue thought it was funny and nodded in agreement before heading to the manor entrance to wait.
Luo Yixiao's carriage was being driven slowly by Mu Jiu. He sat in the carriage and said to Chen Fuyue, "Get on."
Chen Fuyue knew her identity and agreed to sit with Mu Jiu.
This made Luo Yixiao a little disappointed, but he couldn't force the issue.
The village was not far away. They arrived after an hour of driving.
This was Chen Fuyue's first time coming to a gathering place and she once again felt the excitement. She agreed with Luo Yixiao that they would meet each other at the right time before rushing to the market.
Looking at Chen Fuyue's energetic back, Luo Yixiao shook his head helplessly.
Chen Fuyue had already prepared the list and was shopping while strolling around. While she was focusing on it, a strange voice made her turn her head to look.
