Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

Chapter 144 The Shopkeeper Visits

"I want them all. Let's count the money."

Ye Chuyi's tone was too calm, and the girl finally showed a hint of surprise.

"And you want two thousand kilograms?"

Even if some lady or master was kind enough to make new clothes for everyone in the mansion, they wouldn't buy so many.

"Yes, I want all of it. You can come to my house to pick up the money when you deliver the goods."

Ye Chuyi was extremely generous. He had a lot of silver in the space anyway, so he might as well use it.

"Yes, miss, I'll do it right away."

The girl responded crisply and ran out happily.

After a while, the girl came back with a woman, and with them was the owner of the grain shop in front.

It seems like I met an acquaintance again.

Ye Chuyi smiled and walked towards the newcomer quickly, "Sister Liao, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"The first day of the new year!" Liao Sanniang also looked surprised.

She only heard that a girl came to buy things, and the quantity she bought was quite large, so she came to take a look, but she didn't expect that it was someone she knew.

"I was wondering which girl was so courageous, but it turns out she's the first one. I thought we'd never see each other again after we parted in Yunshan County, so we must have a good reunion today."

As Liao Sanniang spoke, she took Ye Chuyi's hand in a familiar manner.

"Of course I should refuse. It's just that I was in a hurry to leave today and didn't prepare anything. I will definitely visit Sister Liao in person another day."

Ye Chuyi also smiled and held her hand back.

"What are you talking about, Chuyi? Today you are at my place, so naturally I will take you for a good stroll. I am already very happy to see you, so you don't need to bring anything."

Liao Sanniang was not at all shy, as if she was really a friend she had known for a long time.

"Of course, proper etiquette is indispensable."

Ye Chuyi smiled and patted her hands. "I originally came here to buy things today, but I didn't bring enough money with me, so I have to go back to the mansion to get some. After I've settled everything, these people will go and apologize to Sister Liao in person."

The main reason was that she had to meet guests in the afternoon, and it was not convenient for her to spend a long time reminiscing with Liao Sanniang.

"Look at me, I'm so happy that I forgot about it. Why don't you hurry up and pack the things for Chuyi?"

As Liao Sanniang spoke, she began to give instructions to the waiter, while at the same time, she did not forget to hold Ye Chuyi's hand.

"If you like something on New Year's Day, just take it. Don't be polite to your sister."

Liao Sanniang's words were too matter-of-fact. Ye Chuyi had no choice but to think that this business was related to her.

"Sister Liao, please stop joking. People say that even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. I have to pay for the things I buy. After all, it's not a small amount. I can't take advantage of Sister Liao for nothing."

If someone is polite to her, she can't really be polite in return.

Liao Sanniang gave her a reproachful look and said, "If you say so, then so be it. But I have to tell you in advance that since you have come to Qingling Mansion, you naturally cannot leave easily. I must go to your mansion to take a look."

"Of course I'd love to." Ye Chuyi also said politely.

Unexpectedly, Liao Sanniang took it seriously. "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Since we have met today and I have to go to your house to deliver something, I will go with you to see."

After Liao Sanniang finished speaking, she began to look around until she saw a familiar figure. Then she smiled and said, "Shanda, come here quickly and help me prepare some gifts. We will visit Chu's family later."

It doesn't have to be that way.

Ye Chuyi stared blankly, not knowing what to say.

I wanted to be polite, but I ended up being too polite.

Shanda looked at his boss helplessly, "Boss, isn't it a bit bad to just go like this? How about I send him off for half a day today and then visit him tomorrow?"

"Why send a visiting card? Chuyi and I don't care about these things. Just go and prepare them as soon as you are asked to."

Liao Sanniang glared at him unhappily.

The people nearby were watching anxiously, especially the owner of the grain shop, who wished he could just lower his head to the ground.

He never thought that because of his disrespectful attitude today, he would meet the friend of the housekeeper. What would he do if someone reported him?

I'm afraid I may even lose my job.

Ye Chuyi naturally didn't know what he wanted. She wasn't so bored as to argue with a shopkeeper.

Liu Gentou had already brought the people who were delivering the grain back to the mansion to report the news in advance.

Ye Chuyi had no choice but to follow Liao Sanniang into the carriage.

Liao Sanniang never stopped talking along the way.

They talked about their separation in Yunshan County and then about their meeting in Qingling Mansion, with a lot of emotion.

"Sister Liao, we're here."

After the carriage stopped, Ye Chuyi had to interrupt Liao Sanniang and walked towards the carriage first.

Liao Sanniang followed closely behind, and was stunned when she saw the plaque on the gate of the mansion.

"Is Chuyi from this mansion?"

There was a hint of caution in Liao Sanniang's voice, and a hint of disbelief.

"Yes, we just came to Qingling Mansion yesterday and haven't had time to clean it properly. It's really a bit shabby. I hope Sister Liao won't mind."

Ye Chuyi smiled and took her hand and walked inside.

"Miss, you're back." Uncle Lin greeted her from a distance.

"Hello madam."

Liao Sanniang watched Uncle Lin slowly walking away and swallowed silently.

She never imagined that the sister she met by chance in Yunshan County had such an extraordinary identity.

I just don't know if they are going to do something this time when they return to Qingling Mansion.

Liao Sanniang's abnormality was so obvious that it was hard for Ye Chuyi not to know. However, he didn't dare to ask, so he could only lead people to the reception room.

When I got closer, I realized that there seemed to be someone in the reception room, and it seemed to be more than one person.

"Miss, you're back!"

The sharp-eyed Lian Yunshan ran over immediately when he saw the familiar figure.

"What's going on here?"

She had just been out for a while, why did she look so disheveled?

"Miss, please go in and take a look. Old Wang is about to cry."

What happened to Lao Wang?

Ye Chuyi's mind was full of questions, but she didn't know what she was asking, as she was being pushed into the reception room.

In an instant, several pairs of eyes turned to her.

Among them, Wang Dachui's was the most passionate. She looked like she was about to cry.

"This is the young lady, right? She is indeed graceful and elegant, unlike an ordinary person."

"Miss, you really are very adult-like."

If you don’t know how to praise others, you really don’t have to praise them.

Ye Chuyi looked at them with twitching mouth. He didn't recognize any of them and could only nod slightly.

"These people were all the stewards in the mansion before. Now they are all shopkeepers with great prospects. They all have shops in Qingling Mansion. Today they came to visit the young lady specially."

Wang Dachui introduced it in a few words.

“We dare not, we dare not.” Several people hurriedly bowed respectfully to Ye Chuyi.
