Yun Chu took a careful look at the several plots of land chosen by Uncle Chen. He couldn't see any difference just by looking at the drawings.
The next morning, she took a car to the outskirts of Beijing and visited several pieces of land. They were all barren and low-grade land, and the price was very cheap. The highest price for such a large piece of land was only one thousand taels of silver.
She chose a slope with a wide view. It was a large place, with mountains and water, and the scenery was particularly good. She already had a rough idea in her mind.
"Uncle Chen, get the land deed done as soon as possible." Yun Chu said with great satisfaction, "I will have someone send the drawings within ten days at most."
Chen Defu nodded: "Yes, madam."
"What a joy." Yun Chu shouted.
Duoxi hunched over and trotted forward: "Madam, the little one is here."
"Uncle Chen, Duoxi is a smart kid. If you need help, you can send him." Yun Chu said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Chen, I have to do so many things at once. I'll try to find a few more people to serve as Chen." Uncle's right-hand man."
It used to be an ice shop, then the hot spring village opened, and then Uncle Chen was asked to clear up connections to build a ship. Now he has to build a shelter. Uncle Chen is really too busy.
"Madam's words have offended the old slave." Chen Defu lowered his head and said, "Tingshuang and Jiu'er have to deal with the hot spring village. The old slave can't help much. Shipbuilding is also on the agenda. All we have to do is wait for the ship to arrive." It’s good to do it, now we only have the issue of the asylum, if I have Duo Xi to help in the future, the old slave won’t have to work hard.”
Yun Chu kept Chen Defu's efforts in mind.
No matter what she gives, Chen Defu will not take it. She will repay it to Chen Defu's descendants.
On the way back, Yunchu deliberately raised the car curtain to see what was going on on the street. Even on the busiest streets in the capital, he could see many children begging.
The weather is getting colder and colder. Without shelter, these children may not survive the winter.
She had to quickly draw out the design drawings and spend a lot of money to hire more people to repair the house. Some details could be decided as they were being repaired...
"Go to the dental clinic."
Yun Chu was really short of people.
Now the people she uses are still dowries brought from the Yun family, and she has to train a few loyal servants herself.
When the carriage arrived at the dental office, she got off the car and walked in. Seeing her posture, the people in the dental office knew that she was the real patron and brought out the latest batch of people.
More than a dozen children stood in front of Yun Chu, the oldest was only twenty years old, and the youngest was only three or four years old.
The most common people around Yunchu were maids, who were suitable for doing things in the inner courtyard, and Duoxi was the only one who could run around in the outer courtyard, so she bought eight boys, spending a total of thirty taels of silver, and she had eight more tickets to sell herself. Deed.
"Qiutong, take these seven to the yard over there and settle them down first." She looked at the slightly older child at the end, "You follow me to a place."
She had those seven trained first, and then sent them to Uncle Chen to help him.
As for this one…
Just now in the dental room, she could see that this child was smarter than the others and knew how to express himself.
She just needs smart people to do things.
The carriage arrived at the alley in the west of the city, and Yun Chu took the child and knocked on the door of Xie Shiwei's residence.
Seeing Yunchu coming, Xie Shiwei was very happy and shouted: "Mother."
"Brother Wei, this is the boy I bought for you. He will serve you from now on." Yun Chu asked the person behind him to come out, "You can give him a name."
The child immediately stepped forward and said, "I would like to say hello to the young master, please give me your name!"
Xie Shiwei was stunned.
Ever since he made a mistake and was sent away by his father, there has been no one around him to serve him.
Now he lives alone in this yard, lighting fires, chopping wood, and cooking. There is nothing that is not him. He never thought that his mother would actually arrange someone else for him.
For a moment, I had mixed feelings.
"Why are you still standing there?" Yun Chu said with a smile, "You don't know how to pick a name? How about I do it?"
Xie Shiwei nodded immediately: "Then I'll trouble my mother."
Yun Chu looked at the embarrassed child: "Renya said that you have lived a miserable life in the past, and you will never be so miserable again. How about you call it Gan Lai?"
Gan Lai immediately knelt on the ground: "Gan Lai would like to thank Madam for the name. From now on, I will be a loyal wife and a loyal young master. If he betrays the Lord, the sky will strike like lightning..."
Yun Chu pulled him up and said, "Go and clean up in the house and get ready to go back."
Xie Shiwei lowered his head and said, "Do I really want to go back?"
Yun Chu smiled and asked him to get in the carriage, which slowly moved towards Xie's house.
Arriving at the place soon, Xie Shiwei got off the carriage and looked at the gate of Xie's house with a very unreal feeling.
Qiu Tong walked up the steps, opened the door, and walked in. Seeing such depression, Xie Shiwei suddenly felt desolate in his heart. It turned out that the Xie family had really been defeated.
"Go see your grandmother first."
Yunchu took Xie Shiwei to the courtyard where Yuan's family was.
Yuanshi was feeding rice cereal to Xie Shikang. Xie Shikang struggled to drink milk, let alone eat rice cereal. He cried and cried without taking a bite.
When Yuanshi was extremely anxious, she looked up and saw a familiar figure walking in.
It's not that she doesn't recognize her grandson, but that Xie Shiwei has changed so much. He has become thinner and has lost his appearance, with prominent cheekbones, as if he has become a different person.
"grandmother!"
It wasn't until Xie Shiwei spoke that Yuanshi knew that he had recognized the wrong person.
"Brother Wei?" She quickly handed Brother Kang to the woman beside her and staggered over, "Is it really Brother Wei?"
"Brother Wei will be called Xie Wei from now on. He is the child of the Xie family in the old house in Jizhou." Yun Chu said, "Tell your family about this, so as not to let the news out, brother Wei will be arrested by the government." gone."
The last time the old lady passed away, a nefarious person reported it to the government, and the government filed a record. Therefore, Xie Shiwei was officially a fugitive suspect.
Knowing the stakes, Mrs. Yuan immediately asked her mother-in-law to call all the Xie family members.
When Xie Shian came, there was no surprise on his face, because he knew yesterday that his mother would bring Xie Shiwei back sooner or later.
But he still showed just the right amount of surprise: "Shiwei, I thought you... it would be great, great, for you to come back!"
Xie Shiwei looked at his sibling brother. He was really jealous of this brother and hated him for making him disabled... But now, their brothers only have each other. No matter how much hatred he has in his heart, he can only I can suppress it and ignore it.
He said, "Yes, I'm back. My eldest brother and I will support our Xie family."
"Okay, it's really great!" Mrs. Yuan cried with joy. With so many things happening in the Xie family, it was a big happy event. She looked at her two aunts and said, "Brother will be the child of a branch of the Xie family from now on. Keep your mouth shut. Brother Yun and Sister Xian, please remind me more. Now, the Xie family needs to work together as a family to get out of the predicament. Do you remember this?"
Aunt Jiang nodded immediately.
Tingyu actually minded a little bit. Life was already very tight, and if he had one more person to support, it would be too much trouble.
But she also knew that when Xie Shiwei came back, he could help Xie Shian to some extent, and it was only right to pay off the court's debts as early as possible.
For the sake of the overall situation, her brother Yun had to suffer some injustice.
Just as he was talking, Tingyu noticed a stranger following Xie Shiwei and asked doubtfully: "Who is this?"
