Chu Qingzhi brought the money to Li Qingyu’s room…
Everyone gathered in the room. The room was dark, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Chu Qingzhi placed the money in Li Qingyin’s hand. “Aunt, I’ll get someone to help you get the money back. In the future, they won’t dare to bully you anymore.”
Li Qingyin held the heavy money bag and was surprised. “Qingzhi, this… They didn’t take so much from me.”
Chu Qingzhi held Li Qingyin’s hand. “The rest is medical fees for my cousin. Take it.”
Li Qingyin asked worriedly, “Qingzhi, when did you get someone to take back the money? Are you injured? Xu Fangjun’s family is very shameless. How did they compromise?”
Chu Qingzhi said in a comforting tone, “The evil will be dealt with by the evil.
The people 1 sent are very reliable. Don’t worry.”
Li Qingyin believed Chu Qingzhi and slowly relaxed. “Qingzhi, thank you. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “It’s fine. You’re Mother’s sister. We should take care of you.”
Xu Songnian walked over and knelt in front of Chu Qingzhi. He kowtowed to her. “Thank you, Cousin. When I grow up, I’ll protect you too. 1 won’t let anyone bully you.”
Chu Qingzhi helped the young man up and encouraged him, “Alright, I hope you can become a man soon.”
Xu Songnian nodded heavily.
Chu Qingzhi turned to Li Qingyu. “Mother, I still have something to do. Take good care of Aunt and cousins.”
Li Qingyu nodded. “1 know.”
Chu Qingzhi walked out of the new house and walked to the side.
Chu Xuhua’s house was being built next to the new house. It was still under construction.
After Chu Xuhua’s house was completed, they would begin building Chu Xujin’s house. Everything was going smoothly for the family.
When An Shanwu saw Chu Qingzhi walking over, he immediately stopped what he was doing and greeted her. “Miss Chu, what’s the matter?”
Chu Qingzhi nodded and said, “I want to build a beer workshop. The blueprint has been drawn. Do you have enough manpower?”
An Shanwu did not dare to make his rich client unhappy. He quickly said, “Sure, sure. Miss Chu, how soon do you want the workshop to be built?”
Chu Qingzhi thought for a while and said, “Three days.”
An Shanwu thought for a moment. “No problem. It’s just that transfering my men over to build the beer workshop will definitely slow down the process of the new house here.”
“It’s fine. Big Brother isn’t in a hurry to get the new house anyway.” She didn’t know why, but Big Brother and Shen Ruyue were still not very close. This made her a little anxious.
An Shanwu nodded and said, “Then I’ll arrange for people immediately. Miss Chu, please give me the blueprint.”
“I’ll go get it right away. I’ll meet you at the land I just bought in a while.”
“Okay.”
Chu Qingzhi was busy building the workshop. At the same time, a man and a woman arrived at the Chu Village in a carriage.
After Zhang Ziyang got out of the carriage, he looked around and frowned slightly. Life in this village was too bad. There were still people living in thatched houses. “Are you sure Ruyue is in this village?”
When Shen Ruyue was a servant girl in the Shen family, she had once been made a scapegoat for her master.
At that time, the one who was poisoned was Madam Zhang, and this Zhang Ziyang was Madam Zhang’s son.
Lu Tianlan nodded affirmatively. “I met Ruyue once in the county. Ruyue told me herself.”
Lu Tianlan was Shen Ruyue’s good friend when they were both servant girls. Now, they had no contact.
“There are so many families in this village. Which family does Ruyue live in?” Zhang Ziyang wondered if Shen Ruyue was already married.
Lu Tianlan looked around the village. “Let’s go and ask. Ruyue is so beautiful and she’s an outsider. The villagers will definitely know.”
Zhang Ziyang had no other choice. “Go and ask.”
At this moment, a group of innocent children ran over…
Lu Tianlan took out a plate of snacks and called out to the children. “I’ll ask you something. If you tell me, I’ll give you this snack.”
Chu Junbao squeezed to the front. “Big Sister, what do you want to ask?”
Lu Tianlan put on a friendly face and asked, “Is there a beautiful girl called Shen Ruyue in your village?”
Chu Junbao nodded. “Yes, she’s Sister Qingzhi’s head housekeeper. She’s amazing. Why are you looking for her?”
Hearing this, Lu Tianlan and Zhang Ziyang looked at each other. From what this child said, it seemed like Ruyue was doing well.
Lu Tianlan smiled and asked, “Can you take us to see her?”
Chu Junbao did not respond to Lu Tianlan’s words. Instead, he pointed at the snack in her hand.
Lu Tianlan placed all the snacks in Chu Junbao’s hands. “Can you bring us to find her now?”
Chu Junbao waved his hand. “Follow me.”
A group of children led the way. Lu Tianlan and Zhang Ziyang followed and finally arrived at the destination.
Chu Junbao still knew that he could not casually bring strangers into Chu Qingzhi’s house. “Sister Ruyue is inside. Wait a moment. 1’11 call her.”
When Zhang Ziyang saw the dilapidated house, his frown deepened. Why did Ruyue live in such a place? It was too shabby.
Moreover, what was going on? In such a dilapidated house, there were so many people coming in and out. There were even boxes being carried out. What were they doing? Could it be that they were doing something illegal?
The more he thought about it, the more worried Zhang Ziyang became. He wanted to take Ruyue away.
When Lu Tianlan saw such a dilapidated house, she muttered in her heart, After all, Ruyue used to be Madam’s personal servant girl. Her living conditions are awful now.
When Shen Ruyue heard Chu Junbao say that someone was looking for her, she thought that it was a customer who was looking for her to discuss business. She quickly walked out.
Usually, many servants from big families would come over to order a small portion of ice cream bars and rice dumplings to entertain guests. The business had always been very good.
Shen Ruyue was stunned when she saw who it was.
Lu Tianlan quickly went up to Shen Ruyue and held her hand. She said with heartache, “Ruyue, you’ve lost weight.”
Shen Ruyue thought to herself that she had been living such a fulfilling and busy life every day. It was also summer, so how could she not lose weight? “Why are you here?”
Lu Tianlan said excitedly, “We specially came to look for you.”
Zhang Ziyang looked at Shen Ruyue with some lust. In his impression, Shen Ruyue wore a light yellow dress all year round. Her words and actions were very restrained. She was rigid and unapproachable.
At this moment, Shen Ruyue was still wearing a light yellow dress. She had lost weight, and her skin was still fair and soft. However, there was a liveliness in her eyes. She was like a lit lamp, dazzling people, and the more one looked at her, the more charming she became.
“Ruyue, do you still remember me?”
Shen Ruyue looked at Zhang Ziyang. It had only been half a year, but she felt as if a lifetime had passed. “Young Master Zhang, why are you here?”
“I came all the way here to look for you.” Zhang Ziyang was relieved to see that Shen Ruyue’s hair was not combed up.
Girls of this era had their hair draped over their shoulders before they got married. Once they got married, their hair would be combed up to their heads, which meant that they were already married..
