Chapter 178 The Magistrate is an acquaintance
As happy as Shen Yitian felt when she took the wood out, she regretted it now.
The pile of wood shocked Ye Liehu so much that he stood there in shock.
After a long while, the man seemed to have found his voice again and said, "Tiantian, where did you get so much wood?"
The key is that these woods are very difficult to find.
Shen Yitian touched the tip of her nose, hiding her guilty conscience, and chuckled, "There was a timber merchant here just now, and I bought all his timber."
Ye Hunter: .....
Was there a timber merchant here just now? How come he didn't see it?
Oh, Shen Yitian made this special trip, she must have contacted the timber merchants long ago. Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising.
He had already found an excuse for Shen Yitian in his mind, but Shen Yitian didn't know.
Shen Yitian was afraid that he would ask more questions, so she quickly suggested, "We've already bought all the wood, and we need it anyway. Let's find a car to transport it back first."
Hunter Ye happened to be not prepared to say anything more. After hearing what Shen Yitian said, he said, "Okay, then go hire a carriage. There's too much wood here, and I'm worried about you being here alone."
God knows how rare it is to find such large timber in this coastal area of Lingnan.
Such a large group of people would inevitably arouse envy. If someone saw her, a girl, guarding here and had evil intentions, wouldn't that be very dangerous?
Shen Yitian nodded. She didn't expect that he would ask her to hire a carriage.
Just now she was thinking that after this man went to hire a carriage, she would secretly put two pieces of wood into the space.
As a result, the plan to secretly collect wood was thwarted.
Forget it, let it be a failure. The more important thing is to get the things back first.
The transportation of timber went smoothly. When they returned to the village, Grandma Li, Xiao Wei and the others had also returned.
When Xiao Wei asked Grandma Li to bring people back, he was still a little nervous.
He wasn't sure whether what Shen Yitian said was true or not. The main reason was that the wood needed to make the furniture was quite large, and he wasn't sure whether his lady could really find it.
If Shen Yitian had not accomplished a lot of things earlier, he would not have been so decisive and obedient this time.
Seeing that Shen Yitian really brought back so much wood, his expression was even more shocked than Ye Liehu's before.
Even Grandma Li couldn't help but gasp at the sight of so much wood: "Miss, where did you get so much wood?"
Shen Yitian chuckled and said, "There's a timber merchant in town. I thought these should be useful, so I bought them all."
The words were the same, but when Grandma Li and others heard this, they thought that the young lady must have happened to know that someone in the town had wood.
Otherwise, where would she find someone to buy wood from when she had only been here for less than ten days?
Everyone had thought of a reasonable excuse for her. The interrogation that Shen Yitian had imagined did not come, but instead everyone was busy with their own things.
Xiao Wei was directing the workers in the new house to unload the wood, while Grandma Li was busy asking the newly arrived carpenter to look at the wood and arrange how to make the furniture.
The carpenter originally thought that in this remote place, even if they could find wood, most of it would be defective.
If the Shen family had not given them enough money, they would never have made the trip without even taking any wood.
You have to know that if the wood is not good, the difficulty of making furniture will increase greatly, and they may make a wasted trip.
When they saw the wood that Shen Yitian brought back, their eyes widened and they dared not express any other opinions.
The wood has been arranged and the carpenters have arrived. Next, Shen Yitian can start arranging the restaurant.
After going to Yue Niang's house, Shen Yitian found that the workers had already fixed the roof for them. They only needed a few pieces of furniture to move in, so she felt relieved.
Yue Niang had no work assigned to her today, so she swept the yard on her own initiative and helped in the kitchen.
In short, she never had a moment of rest until dark.
Grandma Li was quite satisfied with this tactful and hardworking woman, so she gave her a monthly allowance of one penny so that she could buy two sets of clothes for herself and the children.
During the exile, the clothes they brought were tattered and looked terrible when they wore them, so Yue Niang didn't refuse.
They lived in their own house, but ate with Grandma Li and other workers.
She was reluctant to bring the children over to eat, saying they could just go back and get something to eat. So Grandma Li asked Xiao Wei to bring some food over.
According to Shen Yitian, she would not be responsible for where Yue Niang and her family of three lived in the future, but as for food, they could just eat the same as Xiao Wei and Sheng Sheng.
Yue Niang originally thought that she would only receive a monthly allowance, but unexpectedly, the Shen family also provided meals, so she got up even earlier the next day.
I was busy cleaning up, worried that the people in the kitchen would be too busy, so I went over there to help.
With Yue Niang's help, the workers' meals were indeed much richer and more delicious, so everyone was very happy.
As for Shen Yitian, after she mentioned her desire to go to the county town to Grandma Li, Grandma Li said, "If you want to go to the county town, can't you just write a letter to the county magistrate?"
"Ah?" Shen Yitian looked at Grandma Li in surprise.
When did she become so prestigious? Could a letter allow her to leave Maoer Village and go to the county town?
"Miss, are you confused? The magistrate of Liuyuan County is Young Master Luo, the same one that Second Young Master took you to dinner with before."
Grandma Li said with a smile.
She had a smile on her face, but when Shen Yitian heard the man's name, her expression froze.
This Mr. Luo, if she remembered correctly, should be called Luo Xuan, and was the husband that her second brother was going to introduce to the original owner.
He is talented in writing, handsome, has a nice voice, and is gentle and kind.
If Shen Yitian were to comment, this Luo Xuan is a thousand times stronger than that beast Song An.
Unfortunately, the original owner was love-sick and blind, and didn't like the other person at all.
When Luo Xuan learned about the series of things Shen Yitian had done for Song An, he had just been ranked among the top three.
I don't know whether he felt ashamed to stay in the capital because Shen Yitian didn't choose him, or for some other reason, but he actually cleared himself and was sent away.
Unexpectedly, this guy was exiled to Liuyuan County.
The corners of Shen Yitian's mouth twitched again and again.
Such an acquaintance, but it’s not convenient for her to write a letter...
I can't just tell them, hello, I don't like your Shen Yitian, please let me go to the county town.
It's embarrassing just thinking about it.
Her face turned pale and blue, but Ye Liehu, who was standing beside her, saw it clearly.
Luo Xuan, he knows this person.
"Don't worry, wait for me for two days. I'll go there first and come back to pick you up the day after tomorrow." He patted Shen Yitian's shoulder and said in a low voice.
Shen Yitian raised her head and looked at him suspiciously.
"I'll make arrangements. Don't worry. I'll definitely take you to the county town when I come back the day after tomorrow. But you can't write to that Luo Xuan."
