Chapter 290 Let it go
Yao Shu writes ink on the rice paper, and the ink traces wind like water on the rice paper, outlining various patterns.
Shen Bei just came back from outside, and when he saw Yao Shu writing, he couldn't help but be curious: "You actually know how to calligraphy, you can't hide it."
Yao Shu smiled bitterly and stopped writing, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, "I don't know any calligraphy, I'm just drawing pictures." She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Bei, who seemed to have something on his mind.
The man's family is used to reporting good news but not bad news. If he doesn't tell Yao Shu, there is no need to ask.
Shen Bei moved over and saw the process of sowing and growing sweet potatoes on the paper. He couldn't help but be curious.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
After finishing the last stroke, Yao Shu rubbed her sore wrist: "Most of the villagers are illiterate. It will be much easier for me to draw these and let my subordinates explain it."
After hearing this, Shen Bei couldn't help but admire: "My mother is so smart. If she were a man, she would definitely be able to become a marquis and become a prime minister."
After hearing this, Yao Shu asked Shen Bei not to talk nonsense like a joke, but sadness once again colored her eyebrows.
The Fang family came frequently, and as the saying goes, being courteous for nothing is either adultery or theft.
Don’t know what they are planning?
Seeing Yao Shu's sadness, Shen Bei couldn't help but feel worried and gave her some new tea: "Is there something bothering you?"
"My family has been busy lately, and the Fang family members come so frequently, which is really disturbing." Yao Shu sighed softly and took the tea cup.
After listening, Shen Bei's mood was like a deep pool, hiding endless anguish. The young man's spirits dropped, and the depression he felt when he first started became more intense.
There was a hint of helplessness and exhaustion in Shen Bei's voice. He felt that he was being manipulated by the Fang family. He continued: "A few days ago, when I was talking to Miss Fang, she didn't intend to reveal it. They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to catch up with General Ling Hui. They are very ambitious."
Shen Bei smiled bitterly, as if he had drank a bowl of water made from Coptis chinensis, and his voice was unknowingly bitter: "Even our previous encounter was planned by the Fang family. In their eyes, our Shen family is a ladder to climb up to the powerful. I’m the rope looking for the ladder, haha.”
Shen Bei sat back on the chair and smiled to himself. He could no longer put his sincere feelings on Miss Fang; how much he cherished this fate, but now it was torn to pieces by the cruel reality.
"Don't worry about me whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it."
Yao Shu noticed Shen Bei's frustration and comforted him with a few words of warmth, and Shen Bei returned to his room.
Yao Shu was not surprised to learn that the Fang family had such thoughts.
The previous interaction between Shen Bei and Miss Fang made her a little suspicious. That kind of intimacy was far beyond the scope of etiquette. If she, Yao Shu, was a person who valued etiquette and education, Miss Fang's reputation would have been ruined long ago.
A woman's reputation and status are important. Mr. Fang is risking his daughter's life to change his future.
The next day, the Fang family came again.
Many people were harmed by the turmoil. As soon as Mr. Fang arrived at the scene, he ordered his men to work. The servants of the Fang family seemed to have taken strong medicine and rushed to do everything.
Yao Shu invited Master Fang to her home very politely.
"Mr. Fang has helped a lot recently, and Yao Shu has seen it. You are so busy working so that the villagers can have enough to eat. You are really kind-hearted." Yao Shu praised the other man with a smile on her lips, but her smile was Not directly to the eyes.
Mr. Fang was very humble and polite: "Ms. Shen, you are so flattering. This is all for the villagers. If you want to take credit for this, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you even if I ride a horse."
Yao Shu suppressed her smile and said seriously: "Anyway, I invited you here today just to talk about cooperation with you."
Mr. Fang was surprised and delighted. He had been busy for many days and finally let the Shen family know his sincerity and power.
The pride in his heart was beyond words. The Bodhisattva benefactor of Dahe Village didn't obediently follow his path in the end.
Mr. Fang slowly took a sip of tea and put one hand on the chair. His small eyes showed shrewd calculations: "I know what Madam Shen wants to cooperate with. Although the errand that General Ling asked you to do is beneficial to the people, it requires Large sums of money to support.”
Yao Shu nodded. She knew that the background of the Fang family was not simple. They had been a wealthy family for many years and had a strong foundation.
This nod gave Mr. Fang more confidence: "If nothing else, our Fang family still has enough money."
As expected of an old man who has been traveling for many years, Yao Shu really thinks so.
If you want to run a good errand, it must cost a lot of money. Now that someone is willing to bear the expense, she will certainly not refuse.
"Master Fang really spoke to my heart right away. The Shen family has just made a slight improvement, but the foundation is not stable. I am worried about how to support it."
Mr. Fang put on a look that said, "I guessed it." He raised his head and smiled confidently and contemptuously, showing his yellow teeth.
The Shen family is useless. What big things can be accomplished if a woman comes to head the family? I just begged my grandpa and grandma to find someone for help.
A while ago, you ignored him, now you have to beg him, right?
Anyway, for the sake of General Ling, I would like to help her out of kindness.
"Ms. Shen, don't worry. Our Fang family is willing to give money and people for the sake of our fellow villagers." Mr. Fang changed the subject, "But, please, Mrs. Shen, please say a few good words for me in front of General Ling. It's also a favor to me." A little comfort."
Yao Shu felt contempt in her heart, but she still looked gentle and decent on her face.
This Lao Deng really tries to show off his dignity.
With Master Fang's help, she no longer has to worry about expenses. He was dreaming if he wanted to say something nice for the Fang family in front of General Ling.
How could such a person who would do whatever it takes to achieve his goal have the nerve to talk about it in front of General Ling? It offended the General's ears.
What kind of person is General Ling, how can he allow villains to get dirty with him?
Cooperation is okay, but nice words are not.
Let's think of this as the price paid by his Fang family for plotting against Shen Bei.
Seeing Yao Shu's delay in answering, Mr. Fang's attitude gradually softened: "Mrs. Shen, are you worried that the money will not be in place? Don't worry, as long as you agree, I will send someone to deliver the banknotes to the Shen family tonight."
Yao Shu looked hesitant and kept stirring the handkerchief in her hand, feeling in a dilemma. .
"this…"
"Oh, don't do this or that. If we don't have enough manpower, I can send more people. If there's anything you can't handle, just ask someone to come to Fang's house and let them know. That's it!"
Yao Shu pretended that she couldn't explain it, and agreed half-heartedly: "Then... okay. I'll bother you, Mr. Fang."
When Mr. Fang heard this, he was very happy and beaming.
Now his father, the Fang family, can establish a relationship with General Ling. With this relationship, they are not afraid that they will not be able to earn back the money.
Yao Shu sent the distraught Master Fang away and went into the house to sort out the evidence.
There are big things to do tomorrow.
