Chapter 232 Xiao Song's Careful Plan
Shen Huai'en had a strange expression on her face. What was she thinking?
"Do you think their family's blood is worth getting dirty? What are you thinking? I still want to get dirty. I mean to drive them out of the village and make them leave."
"Oh, I see. That scared me."
She said that Huai En was not a murderer and she was just overthinking it.
"It's just that people are cheap when they leave their hometown. Are they willing to leave? And it's winter now. I don't think it will be easy."
Shen Huai'en: "Leave it to me, you don't have to worry about it."
"Okay, it's good to have you. It saves me a lot of worry."
Shen Huai'en put his hands behind his back proudly: "It's good that you know."
"I told you you're fat and you're still panting. Don't forget that you're my housekeeper. This is what you should do. I'll give you a big red envelope at the end of the year."
"it is good."
Shen Huai'en's eyes were full of longing. Shen Nanzhi couldn't understand whether he wanted a big red envelope or had other intentions.
"Nanzhi, I'm here."
Xiao Song's voice came in, Shen Nanzhi coughed, feeling inexplicably guilty, as she and Huai En hadn't done anything just now.
"Nanzhi, why aren't you outside watching the fun? Your village is having a feast today, I'm in for a treat..."
Seeing Shen Huai'en coming out with her, Xiao Song's smile faded a little: "Nan Zhi, he's here too."
"This is Shen Huai'en. What is he? Can't you call for help?"
Shen Huai'en cupped his hands and said, "Hello, Mr. Song."
"Hello too, Butler Shen. Go ahead and do your work. I'll talk to Nan Zhi."
Xiao Song acted like a young master and sent Shen Huai'en away. Since he was a butler, he had to do the duties of a butler.
Shen Huai'en looked at him deeply and nodded, "Okay, I'll go out first. Nan Zhi, think about what I just said and give me an answer as soon as possible."
"understood."
Shen Nanzhi was actually a little puzzled. What did he say just now? Wasn't it all made clear?
Xiao Song's eyes flashed with sinister intent. Was this man doing this on purpose? He must be more than just a housekeeper. If he wanted to enter the house and seize Nan Zhi's property, he had to warn Nan Zhi.
"Xiao Song, why are you here? It's so cold, sit down and have a cup of tea."
"I sent you some cotton seeds. I hope they didn't delay your use of them."
"No, it was just in time. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Song. You can lead the team and work independently. Not bad, not bad."
Shen Nanzhi was very pleased, but the look in his eyes, as if he was watching his son grow up, made Xiao Song feel depressed.
It turned out that Mr. Song knew that Shen Nanzhi wanted cotton, so in addition to cotton seeds, he also prepared thousands of kilograms of cotton for her. Although it was old cotton, it was good and the price was very cheap, which solved her big problem.
With so much cotton, it is enough for the villagers to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts, so they won’t freeze to death.
"Xiao Song, have some tea. I'll get you some silver."
Shen Nanzhi would not take advantage of Master Song, so the silver must be given and he went back to the house to get it.
Xiao Song reported a number: "Just give this much."
Shen Nanzhi said, "This is half the price of your father's offer. Xiao Song, I have money, you don't have to help me. Just do what you want. Only then can the relationship last. Even brothers should settle accounts clearly."
Shen Nanzhi fetched enough silver, put it in a box and pushed it to him: "Take it, go back and report to your father. This will mean that you have done a good job, and your father will be relieved."
Xiao Song was not convinced: "I'm not that bad. If I can't even do this, don't I become a waste?"
"Yes, I was wrong. Xiao Song is very capable. Let's have a feast together later and ask the servants to eat with us. Be nice to the servants so that they will work hard."
Xiao Song said, "But my father said that we should be strict with the servants, otherwise they will be lazy. Who of you is right?"
Shen Nanzhi: "Rewards and punishments should be clear. Treat them well in terms of material and be strict in attitude. This is what a good master should do."
"Oh, I get it."
Xiao Song seemed to understand, and Shen Nanzhi was also very pleased, just like teaching his younger brother.
"There is one more thing. Xie Jin no longer goes to the academy and stays at home. I really don't understand. Without Jiang Chen, Xie Jin also stopped studying. If they were not two men, I would have thought they liked each other."
Shen Nanzhi winked and said, "Two men can also like each other, and their feelings may even be deeper than those for women. Maybe it's true? Duanxiu Longyang, check it out."
Xiao Song: "Then Mr. Xie will be so angry that he will die. He even wants to kill Jiang Chen. He is the only son of the Xie family. No, I will persuade Xie Jin when I see him later."
Shen Nanzhi asked curiously, "Are you on good terms with Xie Jin now? It's not easy to persuade people to do this. Respect other people's fate, don't interfere without authorization, and don't get involved in trouble."
"It's not bad. I've met him a few times in the academy. He's as bad at studying as I am. I don't think he's a bad person. If you don't like him, I won't play with him anymore."
"No, it's not easy for you to make friends. Just make yourself happy. I have no objection. Really, you should have some fun."
Shen Nanzhi is tired. This child is too obedient. Old mother, no, I am very pleased.
After chatting for a while, there was a noise outside. Shen Nanzhi said, "It's getting late. It's time to have dinner. Let's go out and take a look."
"Okay, Nanzhi, what is the background of Shen Huai'en? Have you checked him out? He might be a bad guy. What if he harms you in the future? You better be careful."
Xiao Song secretly flattered Shen Huai'en. This man said he was a butler, and his man's intuition made him feel that his feelings for Nan Zhi were not pure.
"You don't have to worry about me. I know what's going on. I'll take good care of you and be a man, and that'll make my sister happy."
"Why am I not a man?"
Xiao Song was not convinced, but he was not the eunuch Jiang Chen, so he could do it.
Thinking that she was blushing, she quickly chased after him, not daring to look at Shen Nanzhi's face.
"Nanzhi, what are these cars loaded with?"
The villagers were waiting for the feast to begin, and they were all curious about what was in the carriage. What did Nan Zhi buy?
Shen Nanzhi said, "It's cotton. I know that every family in our village is not rich. It's very cold this year. I bought some cotton from Mr. Song. I also bought 100 pieces of low-priced cotton cloth before. Anyone who wants it can go to Huai En to buy it."
"Cotton? Cotton? Really?"
Some people were quick to lift the oilcloth, revealing the white cotton. They trembled with excitement: "Is it really cotton? I was just thinking of going to the county town to buy some. I made a lot of money from selling sweet potatoes this year, and I wanted to buy some cotton-padded clothes and quilts for my family. Nanzhi, you thought of it before everyone else. That's great."
Everyone in the village was filled with emotion. Nan Zhi was such a good girl who always thought about the villagers. How could they be so worthy of Nan Zhi's care?
Shen Nanzhi said: "They are all uncles and elders who have watched me grow up. It's just a small favor. I'm happy if everyone lives a good life.
As long as everyone works hard, the future will be better. This is just the beginning. The banquet is about to start. Let’s eat first. Cotton is inevitable. Let’s talk about cotton after we are full.
Xiao Song, you sit at the main table. You took the trouble to deliver the food in such a cold weather. You helped everyone a lot."
