After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 350 Investigation

For a moment, the meeting room was silent.

Ye Qing was not used to this kind of atmosphere. "Everyone, don't be so negative. Our village is much better than other villages. We need to cheer up and think about what to do in the future."

Everyone responded, "Qingya, what do you think we should do?"

Ye Qing did have an idea in his mind, "Grandpa Lizheng, there is definitely no way now. We can only plan for the long term."

"We are also educating the children in the village." Ye Fang was a little puzzled as to what else they could do.

"There are so many children in our village who can read. We can't just pin our hopes on them." Ye Qing thought about casting a wide net.

"What should we do then?" Everyone in the room looked at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing didn't keep everyone waiting. "There are still vacancies in the private school. We can recruit children from other villages to study here. If they become successful in the future, the village will always have some support."

The head of the village understood that nowadays the relationship between teachers and students is important, so as long as the private school is open, they will take care of the village.

Boss Ye had a new idea, "We can also support some students whose families can't afford it."

The head of the village counted the money in the account and found that he was able to sponsor a few children.

"This is the village's money. I can't make the decision alone. I have to discuss it with the villagers first." The head of the village made the decision.

Ye Qing didn't say anything else. For the first time, he felt that opening a bookstore was the right decision.

She wants to set the price lower and collect more books.

Ye Qing and Ye Lao Da left the conference room and did not go home. Instead, they went to Ye Lao San's place.

When they arrived, Dr. Lin was already at home.

Boss Ye watched Doctor Lin packing up his medicine box, and it was obvious that he had just helped take the patient's pulse.

"Doctor Lin, how is the third child?"

"It's nothing, just a little frightened. Be careful when you sleep at night." Doctor Lin reminded Shen.

Shen responded repeatedly and asked some other questions.

"If you are worried, go get some medicine from me. If he can't sleep well at night, I will boil a prescription for him." Doctor Lin was also worried that he would have a fever at night.

Ye Qing followed him to get the medicine. Ye Lao Da talked to Ye Lao San and comforted him with a few words.

When Ye Qing came back with the medicine, Ye Lao San was talking about paying back the money.

"Qingya, come here quickly. Your uncle wants to give you money." Boss Ye did not help his daughter make a decision.

"Uncle San, I'm not in a hurry to use it. You can give it to me anytime." Ye Qing planned to buy some more land next year. He really had no place to spend the money now.

"Qingya, it's a good thing you brought money with you today, otherwise I would have to suffer even more." Ye Laosan seemed to think of the situation at that time again and shuddered with fear.

"We are a family. If we encounter difficulties, we must help each other." Ye Qing didn't take it to heart.

Wei wiped her tears and pulled Ye Qing to thank her repeatedly.

The two children in the family had gone to the provincial capital, and the daughter was not at home either. As a woman, she was at a loss when she heard the news.

I heard that the village head and Ye Qing went to the dock first, so they didn't go to look for Old Man Ye.

"Qingya, here are two hundred taels of silver, you keep it first. The rest of the money in the family is deposited in the shop. I will return the rest to you after I change the shop." Ye Laosan gave a lot of money to the two children. Although the family was poor, it was more reassuring to carry some money with him.

Ye Qing took the money, said a few more words, and followed Boss Ye home.

The two walked on the road. It was already dark and all the street lights were on.

"Dad, I think something is wrong. How did Mr. Zhang's housekeeper know that Uncle San was rich? Someone must have tipped him off."

Boss Ye is also thinking about this, and it is really possible.

"Don't act rashly. Ask someone if anyone has come into contact with Lord Zhang's ship."

Boss Ye was worried that his daughter was young and impetuous and would cause trouble for Lord Zhang, but they could not afford to offend Lord Zhang, as he was an official appointed by the imperial court.

Ye Qing did not hesitate any more. Boss Ye was more familiar with the people at the dock. With him investigating, the truth should be revealed soon.

When the two returned home, Old Man Ye did not go to listen to the story, but waited for them in the yard.

"Is the third son okay?" Old man Ye was concerned about his youngest son first.

"It's okay. Doctor Lin checked it out. He was just a little frightened." Boss Ye repeated what Doctor Lin said.

"I got it. Let the third child rest at home for two days." Old Man Ye looked a little sad.

Boss Ye helped Old Man Ye to the backyard. He didn't know how Old Man Ye knew about this.

Ye Qing went to the kitchen, where there was food left for them.

It’s hot now and the food is not cold yet, so you can eat it right away.

When Boss Ye came over from the backyard, Ye Qing served him some food.

"Dad, how did grandpa know about Third Uncle?"

"Your grandfather is very observant. He felt something was wrong when I was called to the dock. He then went to the village head's house, but he wasn't there either. He guessed it."

Ye Qing admired Old Man Ye a little bit for his meticulousness and the fact that he hadn't let other people in the family find out.

When Zhou and her family came back in the evening, Ye Qing first returned the one hundred taels of silver to her mother and then told her the whole story again.

Wei Xin and Zheng Qin were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They didn't expect so many things to happen in just one afternoon.

"I'm glad you're okay. We'll get some things to visit your uncle tomorrow." Zhou went to the warehouse to get something.

Zheng Qin and Wei Xin were discussing in a low voice, but Li didn't know yet.

Now that I know, I will definitely ask to go see my third uncle.

Ye Erlang went to Wu'an City today. He went to the shop to get money and planned to open a dried meat shop at the dock.

Early the next morning, before Zhou went to see Ye Lao San, he had already come home to talk with Old Man Ye and Li.

Old man Ye didn't sleep well the night before, and his eyes were a little dark. Mrs. Li knew nothing and slept soundly.

Li was very happy to see Ye Lao San in the morning, "Lao San didn't go to the dock today, have you had breakfast?"

"Take a rest at home today. There are Guizi in the shop. This kid has been trained. It's okay if he doesn't go for a day or two."

"That's right. You should take care of your health and not ruin it for a few dollars." Li took out a bag of cakes and shared them with everyone.

Ye Lao San comforted Ye Lao Han, "Dad, you didn't sleep well yesterday. It's nothing. Don't worry and go to sleep. You can catch up on your sleep later."

Only after Old Man Ye saw his son with his own eyes did he feel relieved.

After having breakfast, I didn’t go to the fields and took a nap at home.

Ye Laosan felt that he was fine and did not let Zhou go to see him. Zhou saw that he was in good spirits and did not insist on going.

Boss Ye was not at home, so he went to the meeting room with Boss Ye.

Ye Laosan is familiar with the dock, and this matter needs to be investigated clearly to find out whether it is aimed at Ye Laosan or Kaoshan Village.

He took action against Ye Lao San this time, and he might take action again next time.

The head of the village sent a message to the villagers, asking those who had clues to come to the meeting hall and talk about it. The village would take care of the matter.

The people at the dock got the news and went to ask people they knew.

Guizi also asked the people working in the store if anyone was targeting them.
