Uncle Xiao supported Mrs. Xiao, and Uncle Xiao followed behind with his hands folded.

Mrs. Zhao didn't care about arguing with everyone, she quickly ran up to meet him and grabbed Uncle Xiao.

"Master, why are you back? Where is Dalang?"

Uncle Xiao hung his head, hesitating and speechless in front of the villagers.

Mrs. Zhao was anxious and looked at Uncle Xiao, "His second uncle, where is my elder brother? Why hasn't the elder brother come back?"

Uncle Xiao sighed, "The county magistrate said that Da Lang had stolen from the village and framed a good person, so he sentenced... Da Lang to one year in prison."

"My mother and my eldest brother were accomplices. They gave me a lesson and asked me to pay money to take him back."

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She collapsed on the ground and cried, "My great man..."

Uncle Xiao was so angry that he cried. After being locked up for so many days, he was finally released and he didn't even have a drink of hot water.

He slapped Zhao on the head and face, "Why are you crying in mourning? If you hadn't spoiled him since he was a child, how could you have caused such trouble to him?"

While Mrs. Zhao pinched Uncle Xiao back, she shouted unconvinced: "Am I the only one who got used to this? Obviously my mother-in-law also..."

Mrs. Xiao grabbed her hair and said, "Isn't it shameful enough for you to open your mouth and talk nonsense outside every day? Go home quickly."

Mrs. Zhao couldn't care less about pinching Uncle Xiao and quickly protected her little remaining hair.

The family walked home noisily.

Uncle Xiao sighed heavily and followed behind with his face half-hidden.

Everyone watched the excitement for a while and then returned their attention to the fish fry in the pond.

...

After the fish fry were released, Su Yue left Xiao Changgui and Xiao An, the fifth uncle's youngest son, to be responsible for raising fish, patrolling and fishing on weekdays.

The salary was one tael a month, and Xiao Changgui and Xiao An were very happy.

The fifth uncle kept urging his younger son with his pipe, for fear that he would not do well and lose his job.

Many people in the village are extremely envious of him. He only earns one tael of silver a month. How many families only save three to five taels of silver throughout the year.

Sun's mind was spinning quickly and she asked Su Yue with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, if you raise so many fish now, you will have to hire people to kill and sell the fish later, right?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up when they looked at Su Yue.

"Sister-in-law, please hire me as your boss. My boss is a good worker."

"But pull it down. Your man is so sloppy at work, and no one in the village knows about it. Brothers and sisters, why don't you hire someone from my family?"

"Sanlang's wife..."

The women crowded around Su Yue, eager to brag about their man to the sky.

The men on the other side surrounded Xiao Sanlang and tried to induce friendship.

After all, it's hard to find work in winter, so it's great to be able to find a job in your own village without having to get up early and go out late at night to suffer the cold.

Xiao Sanlang leaned on his crutch, glanced at Su Yue who was surrounded by everyone, and dismissed everyone with one sentence: "My wife has to say this."

All the men: "..."

I feel like Saburo is depressed!

Su Yue heard this, looked at Xiao Sanlang through the crowd, and smiled.

Xiao Sanlang's lips curled up.

Women work harder here.

Su Yue raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "I do need to hire someone, but I only need women."

One sentence stirred up a thousand waves.

"You want to hire our women? What kind of jobs do Sanlang and his wife have?"

"Sanlang's wife, do you think I can do it?"

Amid the commotion, Mrs. Sun approached Su Yue and said, "Brother and sister, if you can trust me, how about leaving the job of recruiting people to me?"

"I know who is doing the best among the women in our village."

Su Yue thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, you and Sister-in-law Feng can discuss it. I want ten people in total."

Mrs. Sun's smile turned into a flower with joy, "Brother and sister, look at it, we will definitely handle this matter beautifully for you."

As he said that, he nudged the quiet and absent-minded Feng next to him with his arm.

Feng seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable, a smile appeared on her pale face, "Well, sister-in-law, don't worry."

Su Yue's eyes swept around Feng's face, nodded, and said nothing.

She turned around to look for Xiao Sanlang, but saw him standing with Li Zheng.

Xiao Sanlang didn't know what he said. A look of astonishment flashed across Li Zheng's face at first, and then he nodded excitedly.

Su Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, with a flash of suspicion in her eyes.

Li Zheng and Xiao Sanlang seemed to have agreed on something and turned to leave.

Su Yue walked over slowly, "Will you accompany me to the town to see the shops?"

Xiao Sanlang nodded, "Okay."

When the ox cart passed by the Xiao family's old house, there was a lot of commotion inside.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Zhao and Wang from the eldest room were fighting against Zheng from the second room like cockfighting cocks. They were obviously quarreling over the separation of the family.

Su Yue flicked her whip, and the ox cart passed by the door of the Xiao family's old house.

They went to the town and went straight to Anqing Hall.

Shopkeeper Li took them to see the shop he had found.

"Cousin, I've been going to this shop in the past two days. The price..."

Su Yue interrupted him, "Ms. Su!"

Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Oh, okay, Mrs. Su, I have compared it repeatedly and this shop is the most suitable."

The shop that Shopkeeper Li chose was very close to Xiangman Garden, with only three shops in between.

When passing by Fuman Building, Su Yue stopped and raised an eyebrow.

Shopkeeper Li turned around and looked.

The door of Fuman Building was open, and there were faint figures walking around inside.

"Explain... No, Mrs. Su, I heard that the owner of Fumanlou in Fucheng sent someone here, and it seems they want to sell Fumanlou."

"By the way, they sent someone to inquire about Mrs. Su yesterday. You have to be careful."

Su Yue nodded lightly, indicating that she understood.

Turning around from Fuman Building, you can reach the shop that Shopkeeper Li has chosen in a few steps.

The shop is not very big, less than two feet wide, but there is a small yard at the back, two main rooms and a side room for the east and west.

"Although the yard is a bit dilapidated, it can be lived in after being tidied up."

"In the future, Madam Su and Mr. Xiao will have a place to stay if they come to town on urgent matters."

Su Yue and Xiao Sanlang were very satisfied after seeing it.

Shopkeeper Li was very familiar with the owner of the previous shop, and finally bought the shop and the yard together for twelve taels of silver.

The signature was signed and Su Yue's name was written on the house as usual.

After paying the money and applying for the deed, Su Yue couldn't help but sigh.

"Tsk, I only have thirteen taels of silver left at home."

Xiao Sanlang saw her stroking the money bag with a look of pain on her face. He couldn't help but curled his lips and said, "I will earn it."

Su Yue looked at Xiao Sanlang suspiciously.

Has this guy found a way to make money other than copying books?

...

When Su Yue and Xiao Sanlang went to go through the shop procedures, they didn't know that something happened to Xiang Manyuan at this moment.

It's almost lunch time, and many people have already entered Xiangman Garden.

Suddenly a group of people carrying machetes and sticks rushed in.
