Chapter 141 Why should I leave?
Jiang Yutong frowned, "Manager Shi, can you tell me who the visitor is?"
The person who came to report was an errand boy from the shop. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. Madam Shi only asked me to report to you."
Jiang Yutong could only arrange for a carriage to go to the shop.
When they arrived at the shop and looked around at the door, they saw many unfamiliar faces. When they met Jiang Yutong's gaze, several of them lowered their heads subconsciously.
Jiang Yutong smiled and turned to walk into the shop.
Everything was normal in the shop. Ding Lan was receiving customers and didn't see Shi Donglian.
Ding Lan pointed upstairs, meaning upstairs.
Jiang Yutong went upstairs.
Shi Donglian was drinking tea with two familiar faces. When Jiang Yutong appeared, she put down her teacup and said, "I came here today to pick out some soap gift boxes to send back to the capital. I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be away. I called Miss Jiang here. Did I delay her?"
The person who was speaking was not Cui Weiyang, the granddaughter of General Cui who came from the capital, but Cui Qingwan who was accompanying her.
Although Jiang Yutong felt a little strange and didn't know what the eldest lady of the Cui family wanted to see her about, she still greeted her with a smile.
"I have met Miss Cui, Miss Cui II."
Then she added, "I just happened to be coming to the shop. It is a blessing for me to be able to serve the young ladies of the Cui family."
After saying the polite words, Jiang Yutong sat down where Shi Donglian had just sat.
"Who is Miss Cui planning to give this to?"
Cui Weiyang looked at Jiang Yutong's face for a moment before saying, "I was thinking of giving some to my grandparents, as well as some uncles and aunts."
Jiang Yutong patiently explained to them which soaps were suitable for giving to Captain Cui and his wife, and which were suitable for giving to female elders.
Cui Weiyang smiled and said, "Miss Jiang is really amazing. Now that you put it that way, I understand. I'll make a list later, and you can help me with the goods according to the list."
Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "Miss Cui, you are too kind. I am just familiar with it. I will definitely prepare the goods according to your requirements later."
Cui Weiyang picked up the teacup and said to Cui Qingwan, "Sister Qingwan, have you noticed that Miss Jiang looks a lot like someone?"
Hearing this, Cui Qingwan immediately laughed and said, "If my sister hadn't told me, I wouldn't have dared to tell you. I discovered it when I first met Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yutong let them look at her.
Cui Weiyang said directly, "I heard that Miss Jiang is an orphan. But Miss Jiang's mother is no longer around?"
Then he apologized, "Miss Jiang, please don't think I'm being abrupt. I'm just curious about you."
Jiang Yutong didn't know what the two of them meant by this, so she just said patiently, "My mother is no longer alive, and my father and I are no longer related. I still have a brother."
Cui Weiyang said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bring up Miss Jiang's sad past, but Miss Jiang is so beautiful, your mother must be a beauty too."
Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "I don't have much impression of my mother. I guess she must be a beauty."
Cui Qingwan smiled and said, "Then Miss Jiang must look like her mother."
Jiang Yutong shook her head. "I don't have any impression, so I can't say who he looks like."
Cui Weiyang and Cui Qingwan glanced at each other, knowing that if they continued talking, it would be too late. They stood up and said goodbye, "Sorry for bothering you today. If I have offended you, please forgive me, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yutong said goodbye with a smile, "No, it's an honor for Roufufang to have you, Miss Cui."
Jiang Yutong didn't stop smiling until he had sent them to the carriage.
baffling.
As soon as Jiang Yutong entered the shop, Shi Donglian came up to him and asked, "What do they want from you? Are they trying to cause trouble again?"
Shi Donglian is now a little nervous about the Cui family.
Jiang Yutong shook her head. "It's okay. I just ordered some gift boxes."
After saying that, he took out the gift box list and said, "You should select the goods according to the list and arrange for someone to deliver them to Cui Mansion when the time comes."
Shi Donglian looked at the list and saw that it asked for quite a few things. She patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death. I came here and asked to see you by name."
Jiang Yutong had more urgent things to deal with right now. She looked up at the street again and found several people still squatting there.
Jiang Yutong waved to Shi Donglian and Ding Lan, "Come up here, I have something to tell you."
Ding Lan and Shi Donglian followed Jiang Yutong upstairs.
Jiang Yutong stood on the terrace, looking down at the people below. "Did you see those people?"
Shi Donglian and Ding Lan nodded. "These people have been guarding nearby recently, acting suspiciously."
Shi Donglian sighed, "I've also added some staff to the shop, but I don't know what their purpose is."
Jiang Yutong remained silent for a long time, looking down silently. Ding Lan and Shi Donglian also fell silent.
After a while, Jiang Yutong said, "These people are from Zhaojia Village. They've set their sights on our business. The village isn't safe lately. There's always a thief, but there's always a thief. Besides defending ourselves, we also need to find a way to take the initiative."
Jiang Yutong turned around and asked, "Sister-in-law Ding Lan, is it possible that Shangyuan Village could deploy some manpower now?"
Ding Lan thought for a moment and replied, "Now that the rice has been harvested, everyone is free, so manpower is not a problem."
"Well, go back to the village immediately and ask Uncle Tao to find some reliable people. Your wages will be settled on a daily basis."
Ding Lan nodded and said, "No problem, I'll leave right away."
Jiang Yutong then said to Shi Donglian, "We still need to be more vigilant recently to prevent people from pretending to be customers and causing trouble in the store."
Shi Donglian's heart was in her throat. "Okay, I will definitely be more cautious."
Seeing the two people were very nervous, Jiang Yutong comforted them, "Don't be too nervous, we are just taking precautions. We don't know exactly what Zhaojia Village will do."
Ding Lan immediately returned to Shangyuan Village. Tao Lizheng saw his daughter-in-law coming back and asked hurriedly, "Why are you back at this time? What's the matter?"
Ding Lan immediately told Jiang Yutong that he wanted to recruit some people.
Tao Lizheng tapped the welding smoke off his hand and said, "That's no problem. I'll gather the villagers right away and see who's willing to go."
Ding Lan lowered her voice and stated Jiang Yutong's request, "Find someone strong and with good character."
Ding Lan recounted the story of the trouble caused by the wealthy Zhao from Zhaojia Village.
Tao Lizheng said sternly, "How can this be justified? You are bullying us because there is no one left in Shangyuan Village, right? Don't worry, leave this matter to me."
Tao Lizheng immediately rang the bell in the yard. When everyone heard the bell, they knew that the headman wanted everyone to gather for something, so everyone who heard the bell walked towards the auditorium.
Soon, the entrance of the auditorium was crowded with people.
Many people from the Ning family came this time, and Ning Zhengsong was also idle at home. After the last incident, the Ning family still did not divide the property, but now Sun Taohua is the one in charge.
Ning Yao leaned against the wall and asked, "Village Head, what's the matter with gathering everyone together today?"
When Ding Lan saw the Ning family, he subconsciously frowned and winked at his father-in-law.
Tao Lizheng understood what Ding Lan meant and said to Ning Yaoshi, "This time I am recruiting some workers in the village on behalf of Jiang Yutong. It has nothing to do with you. You can leave first."
"Why should I leave?"
