C25 It Frightens both of You

The group of people took their seats, and the little fellow was coaxed to the point where he no longer cried. Jiang Wan drank another cup of hot tea, and then said to Mrs Zhang who was seated at the head of the table: "Mother, my daughter-in-law probably went out for a stroll, and discovered that Tonghua County is truly poor."

"Sister-in-law is always telling the truth." Mrs Chen was straightforward. "Didn't we already know before we came?"

Mrs Xu tugged on her sleeve and said angrily, "Don't say anything else for now. Let your sister-in-law explain everything slowly."

"Alright, alright, alright. Little Wan, I was wrong. Tell me."

Mrs Chen had a beaming smile on her face and didn't seem angry in the slightest.

Jiang Wan put the sleeping Little Chixi into the collapsed bed before softly explaining: "Second sister is right, we all know that Tonghua County is poor, but after going out today and visiting Furong Street for a while, my daughter-in-law realized that Tonghua County is not just any ordinary poor place, there's only one infirmary."

Even someone as calm as Mrs Zhang was surprised to hear this, not to mention Mrs Xu and Mrs Chen, the two sister-in-law who had grown up in the midst of wealth and riches.

They were all genuine aristocratic families' gold coins. Even if they had an invalid inviting a doctor, they were still doctors who could not be stopped, much less to the infirmary.

When had he ever seen a city with only one infirmary?

However, Mrs Chen had just been informed by Mrs Xu, so she didn't speak up. The three of them sat in silence, waiting for Jiang Wan to continue.

"Not only that, there's only one teahouse and restaurant. As for the grocery store and rouge shop …" There aren't many shops that are commonly used in normal times. Most of them are cloth houses and only two of them are there. "

Jiang Wan narrated what she had observed the whole day and her expression showed helplessness.

She knew that the ancient, barren counties must be very poor.

But I didn't expect to be so poor.

Judging from Mrs Huo's words, it was likely that there were many people in the county who could not even afford to eat!

"In that case, I'm afraid there's nothing else we can do!"

After Jiang Wan finished her sentence, Mrs Chen spoke somewhat dejectedly.

Mrs Xu also shook her head, "If there's any business to be done, this will still depend on mother and Little Wan's wishes. Anyway, I can't do it. If there's anything I can do at home, it'll be great."

"Does Little Wan have any good intentions?"

Mrs Zhang, who had been silent all this time, noticed that her two eldest daughter-in-law had finished talking. She then looked at Jiang Wan with a kind expression.

Jiang Wan went silent for a moment. "Actually, my daughter-in-law doesn't have any good ideas at the moment. But it's not a big deal waiting for her to take advantage of the situation. Why don't we find a commoner who needs to go back to business? If not, we can just come back later.

"Then what do you mean the citizens need to go back to their business?"

Mrs Chen was the most impatient one. Seeing that she had only said half of her words, she couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing is more important to a commoner than food and clothing. Of these, the ones that come back faster are those that come back to eat." Jiang Wan smiled and brought up her thoughts, then emphasized on the scene of her eating lunch at the restaurant in Furong Street: "The food sold at that restaurant can't be considered good, and was even a little too oily, but the price is extremely expensive. And even though it's noon, there are still quite a few people, so there should be more in the evening."

Mrs Zhang's eyes lit up. "I didn't expect that Little Wan would be so amazing when she doesn't make any calls. Since you're interested in food, then go ahead and do it. How much money do you need? I'll give it to you later."

There is still venture capital available?

Was it really that great!?

Jiang Wan blinked.

However, before she could say anything, she heard Qin Si's voice from outside, "There's no need for money."

Jiang Wan, "..."

Shut up!

Mrs Zhang rolled her eyes at her youngest son. "I'm talking to Little Wan, how can you interrupt me like this? Quickly go back to the courtyard to wash up and look at the dust."

Although his tone was reprimanding, it was hard to conceal the love he had for Qin Si.

Mrs Chen, who was watching from the side, covered her lips and teased, "That's right, third brother. You should go back quickly. You didn't see our mothers discussing anything."

Qin Si coughed lightly and explained, "Mom, you don't need the money anymore. With the situation at home, how can I ask you for money? "We, the Third Branch, also have some savings, which is enough for Little Wan's business. If we don't have enough later, we might be able to get back to you."

"Yes, Mother."

Jiang Wan panicked in her heart, hmm, she had no impression of her savings, what should she do?

The woman agreed on the surface, "Hubby said exactly what my daughter-in-law wanted to say. You should keep the money properly."

Mrs Zhang waved her hand and said in a gratified tone, "Alright, since both of you are of the same mind, what else do I have to say?"

"Of course, Mother. You are our pillar of support!" Mrs Xu, who was at the side, smiled as she tried to persuade him.

Mrs Chen also persuaded him, "That's right, mother. Since Third Brother and Little Wan have their own ideas, then we will leave it at that. If the money is not enough, can they still hold it in?"

"Alright, alright, I got it. It was just a joke. Nothing happened between the two of them, but it scared the both of you."

Mrs Zhang smiled helplessly.
