C45 How Ugly

After casually bringing up the matter of finding the embroidery lady, Shen Jingli changed the topic back to his garden.

"I want to find some people to help me manage the orchard, preferably an experienced fruit farmer." Although he recognized those fruit trees, he wouldn't grow them himself. If he didn't find a few experts to take care of them, those hundreds of seedlings wouldn't live past the beginning of next year.

"That's not difficult. I'll ask around for you tomorrow." From the looks of it, her second son had great potential. If she did it well, she might be able to become a manager in the industry of the Mu Family in the future. In her opinion, that was an extremely good thing to do.

"There's no need for that much. Four or five people should be enough." No matter how many people there were, Ye Zichen did not want to cause a bunch of trouble.

"Aunt is not the kind of person who has no sense of propriety." As he spoke, he secretly pinched his wife beside him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Jingli decided to send them off. Coincidentally, he heard Lee Qi's shout, "Someone's coming, Madam, someone's coming."

Shen Jingli turned his head and looked at Village Chief Li and the others, and the few of them felt nervous as they looked at each other. He sensed that another group of people was looking for trouble outside, so he raised his eyebrows and walked over to open the door, and saw Lee Qi and Xinmei standing at the entrance with small wooden sticks in their hands.

"Uncle Shen, that person has come to find Fourteenth Uncle." Seeing Shen Jingli coming out, Xinmei threw the wooden stick away, turned and ran to his side, and hid behind him.

Shen Jingli did not recognize the person, but Sister-in-law Chen could tell at a glance. She went to Shen Jingli's side and quietly said: "Shen, it's someone from the Mu Family, last time your mother-in-law was buried, sister-in-law had seen him, his words were extremely unpleasant to the ears, causing Master Mu to be so angry that he vomited blood on the spot."

Shen Jingli nodded in understanding, but in his heart he was thinking, what did the Mu Family send people over to do at this time? Could it be that he heard that Mu Chen wasn't dead and wanted to poison him? Or did he know that they were starting a business and looking for trouble?

When he thought about how Mu Jin had told him about the people from the Mu Family treating him, his mother and his son, and how these servants had acted according to the rules and attacked him when he was down, Shen Jingli could not keep a straight face. He sneered, and said coldly: "I am Shen Jingli, do you know what it is that you have come to this humble house for?"

Zhao Ming turned to look at Shen Jingli, tsk, his looks were truly normal, but the Fourth Young Miss was truly ruthless, to actually find such an unnamed pair to insult Mu Shisi, it seemed like he was not happy with Mu Shisi.

Zhao Ming's shifty eyes sized Shen Jingli up from head to toe, and his gaze was captivated by Shen Jingli's slightly protruding stomach. This Gemini was actually pregnant, and this time, the Madam and Fourth Miss would be even more happy. Fourteenth Master would actually fall to the point of needing a Gemini to pass on their bloodline, and would definitely become the number one laughingstock in the capital.

The anger he felt before was washed away by the joy brought upon by the news. Zhao Ming laughed complacently, bowed to Shen Jingli and said: "I am Zhao Ming, the manager of Mu Family. Greetings, Fourteenth Young Madam."

Fourteenth Young Madam? What the hell was this? Who's your grandmother? This person must be here to cause trouble, right?
