A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 121 Yu Zhenzhou Catches a Turtle

After the leaders of the four teams drew lots, the one who got the short lot was silent for a second and left with his team.

Soon, they appeared in front of Yu Zhenzhou.

Yu Zhenzhou did not intend to engage in a head-on confrontation with these "horse bandits" in order to avoid accidentally injuring Tang Jide and the people in his caravan.

Yang Hui was a man of the underworld, and he had learned all the tricks used by the underworld from Yang Hui. Besides, this wasn't a formal battlefield confrontation, so it wouldn't be bad to use some tricks.

The guards, who were tightly wrapped around their faces, tied highly concentrated knockout drugs to arrows and shot them at the rapidly approaching elite soldiers. Soon, most of the elite soldiers fell into a coma, and even some of the slower runners in the back row were too limp to hold their weapons.

Yu Zhenzhou took the opportunity to capture all the people.

The "horse bandits" were tied up and tied to the backs of horses and taken back to the military camp. After being tortured, Yu Zhenzhou learned where they were stationed and went to encircle and suppress them.

But there was no one there anymore.

Yu Min and Yu Zheng used various means to finally get the words out of one of them.

The mastermind was Surilehek, the leader of the Matan State.

However, Yu Zhenzhou always felt that something was wrong, as if he was stuck in an alley.

Why did Surilehek do this?

What's the point?

What is the purpose?

Just when he was at a loss for what to do, he received a letter.

"Mom, won't Dad come back to celebrate the New Year with us?"

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, Huang Mulin waited and waited but Yu Zhenzhou still didn't show up, so he couldn't help but ask.

When he returned to Beijing before, he said he would come back to celebrate the New Year together.

Yang Lijun had received the letter before, but did not tell Huang Mulin, thinking that if the relationship ended early, there might still be a chance.

It seems too late now.

"Your father is at the frontier now."

Yang Lijun analyzed some of the border situations with Huang Mulin, and also told her that Yu Zhenzhou had written to her, but she did not tell Huang Mulin about this.

"Is there any danger? How is father now?"

Fighting is the thing Huang Mulin least wants to encounter.

War will kill many people, make many people homeless, and there may be plagues and other situations. She is very afraid of encountering such a world.

At first she was glad that the war had ended when she traveled through time. Although her family was poorer, she would not encounter annoying problems such as forced conscription.

"fine."

Yang Lijun comforted her and explained the current situation among countries.

"Can't fight."

"The last defeat of the Matan Empire damaged its foundation. In principle, it will take more than ten years for its people to return to a stable daily life. If the people cannot live a good life, they will not have the energy to fight."

"Your father is a first-rate expert, and he is surrounded by many capable people, including secret guards and spies. You don't need to worry too much about him."

Huang Mulin felt a little relieved after hearing what Yang Lijun said.

The New Year is coming and there are many things to do at home, so I can only put this worry aside for the time being.

I had asked He Jialing to help me make two down jackets, one padded jacket and one outer coat, which were delivered to me a few days ago.

The smell of feathers is difficult to deal with, so He Jialing only made two pieces in such a long time, and it took her a long time to remove most of the odor.

Huang Mulin was so happy wearing a warm and light down jacket.

Others saw that she was only wearing a base layer, a padded jacket and a coat, strolling outside, and she didn't feel cold even in the dead of winter, which proved that this down jacket was really useful.

Huang Mulin asked Huang Bo to give He Jialing one hundred taels of silver notes, part of which was the cost of the two pieces of clothing, and the rest was a deposit for He Jialing to collect feathers and make down jackets next year.

He Jialing and Chen Xiujuan were shocked.

This is too much!

But Huang Mulin said that the business would be expanded in the future, and asked Chen Xiujuan and He Jialing to visit the town more often when they have time next year, and make down jackets based on the outerwear styles sold in the garment shops, so that they could sell them and make money next winter.

Zheng Jiaojiao took the initiative and accepted it, and Huang Bo said goodbye. As for how He Jialing and others would be arranged later, he was not worried.

Everyone in the family knows that they can make a lot of money by working with Huang Mulin.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, after finishing the general cleaning, Huang Bo gave everyone a day off.

From the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year to the ninth day of the first lunar month, work starts on the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Huang Bo gave everyone an extra month's salary as a year-end bonus.

Each villager working in the workshop was given a jar of water-fermented bean curd, a jar of oil-fermented bean curd, a pound of pork belly, two large steaks, a pound of rice wine, and a pound of sugar cakes.

The farmhands in the soybean fields also had a holiday, but they had to arrange for someone to go to the fields every day to check if there were any abnormalities. The rewards they received were the same as those for the farmhands in the workshop.

As for the house builders, Huang Bo bought a pound of meat, a pound of wine, a jar of water fermented bean curd, and a jar of oil fermented bean curd for each of them. Old Tian got an extra jar of Maotai given by Huang Mulin.

The servants bought by the Huang family, whether they worked in the workshop, the canteen or the bakery, were given an extra month's salary, two sets of clothes, shoes and socks, two pounds of sugar cakes, two pounds of jerky and other items.

Everyone was overjoyed and as happy as a child.

I have never heard of any family giving so much money and things to workers/servants during the Chinese New Year. Huang Bo is really generous.

When Huang Dachuan's son and daughter-in-law brought home a lot of things, not only Zhang Liuzhi, but even Huang Dachuan laughed so hard that his teeth were showing.

Huang Bo's action once again caused a sensation in Xiushan Village and even other villages.

Roland waited and waited, but Huang Bo never came to give her a New Year gift.

She was so angry that she took a broom from home and hit and scolded the big tree in front of the door, as if she was treating the tree as Huang Bo.

Huang Dachuan naturally heard about it, but as long as Roland didn't go to Huang Bo's house to make trouble, he would ignore her.

He was busy meeting and bragging with the village chiefs from other villages. There was nothing he could do about it, because there was a wealthy family in the village he managed!

The house has not been built yet, so Huang Mulin's family will spend the New Year in town this year.

The workshop cannot be left without people, and Manager Wei and others have nowhere else to go back to, so they all spend the New Year in the workshop.

Shan Tong and Pei Jingmin had nowhere to go, so they just stayed in the village together.

Almost no one was concerned about the servants in the canteen and bakery, so they all celebrated the New Year together in the house in Linhai Town, which was quite lively.

The reason why Yang Lijun and Huang Mulin signed a death indenture to buy them was because they had no ties and wanted to avoid any accidents as much as possible.

The servants who were still in Qiling County, including Yunqing and the Lin sisters, also received two sets of new clothes, hats, shoes and socks, and each of them received a red envelope of 200 coins.

Nanny Tian, ​​who helped with the teaching, received a reward of five taels of silver, two sets of new clothes, shoes and socks, a pound of dried meat and fruits, a pound of sugar cakes, and a set of jewelry.

Neither the servants nor Nanny Tian had expected the Huang family to be so generous. They received so many rewards without making any contribution, and they were extremely grateful.

Yu Ze and Lao Wang said they did not want any reward money, so Huang Mulin gave each of them two jars of Maotai and two jars of briefcase rice wine, and saw smiles on their faces.

My brothers’ private school had been closed for the holidays long ago, and they would go back to school after the Lantern Festival. The whole family was busy cleaning the house, putting up window decorations, etc.
