The next day, the carriage returned to the Qinghe Town with Xiaowu and Datian's expectations for the future and Wang Lizhuo's anxiety.
For Wang Lizhuo's request, Su Li temporarily allowed him to stay with Xiaowu to see the world, and Wang Li didn't stop him. In her opinion, it was a great joy that her son could get on the good side of a miss in the town. She was very happy. How could she stop him?
Soon after Su Li and others left, there was a big mess in the Yinguang Town. More than one hundred charred corpses transported from the Blood Refining Hall were inexplicably less than half. Only the corpses without limbs were left. The rest of the corpses seemed to have come back to life. They ran away from the mass grave without leaving any trace of human activities.
The county magistrate was frightened and had a serious illness. He sent people out to find the whereabouts of the corpses, but they couldn't find them.
"Su Li, how can we complete the construction of the hillside?"
When Xiaowu and others went to prepare the dinner, Qu Qingning couldn't help but come over and whispered, "It is such a big hillside. Even if we send a team of fifty craftsmen, it will take about a month to complete it. What's more, we don't have the ability to find fifty craftsmen who can keep secrets for us. And this time, don't you draw a design drawing like the Linli Building?"
"The secluded land is not a restaurant. It doesn't need to be too fancy."
Su Li responded indifferently. She didn't mention the construction of the hillside. Instead, she said, "After returning to the Qinghe Town, you can start to recruit new people secretly and send them to the secluded land every half a month. As for the secluded land … I will choose one of the four of you to manage it."
"Half a month? So fast?! "
Qu Qingning was speechless and immediately shrank his neck. He didn't want to go to the remote place and order a group of teenagers all day long. Just thinking about it made him feel painful.
Besides … he didn't want to be separated from Yin Xuetong.
Thinking of this, Qu Qingning leaned to Su Li's ear and suggested, "I think the most suitable ones are Fang Yuan and Luo Yichen! They both put on a grim face all day long. It is daunting just to look at them. They can definitely deter newcomers more than me. "
Qu Qingning lingered beside Su Li for a long time, but he didn't hear any affirmative words from her. When he heard Xiaowu calling for dinner outside, he could only leave helplessly.
He still had doubts in his heart, such as why Su Li was able to clear out the mountainside in half a month. But he knew that Su Li would not answer these questions even if he asked.
After Qu Qingning left, Su Li looked back at the lush and quiet mountain forest and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Dead people are the best at keeping secrets, aren't they?
…
A few days later, they finally returned to the Qinghe Town. The way back was unusually peaceful. They didn't even meet a single robber. The news that this area had been wiped out half a month ago had spread. The remaining robbers didn't dare to stay here for long and all changed places.
Wang Lizhuo entered the city and looked around. His face was full of curiosity and excitement. Xiaowu could not help but laugh. This boy used to be the same as his mother, but now he had changed his temperament, which made him pleasing to the eye.
At noon, the business of the Linli Building was at its peak. Su Li's carriage stopped behind the Linli Building. Heidan and others were stunned for a while before they reacted. Then they were ecstatic and said, "She is back! She is back! Boss and others are all back! "
Mei Ruohan, who was still doing accounts in the room, immediately stood up and ran to the back door happily. When she saw Yin Xuetong looking at her with a smile, she felt sad and immediately burst into tears. Then she threw herself into Yin Xuetong's arms.
"Great! You are finally back. I thought I couldn't hold on anymore … "
Yin Xuetong gently patted Mei Ruohan's back, and her eyes were slightly wet. Mei Ruohan could be regarded as her half-apprentice. Now it was hard for her to control the Linli Building for half a month.
Su Li glanced at the lively scene in the front hall and nodded with a smile, "Well done. She is like a shopkeeper."
Mei Ruohan blushed and waved her hand, "It's all because of your reputation that the Linli Building is not targeted by thieves. Ruohan actually didn't do anything."
At this time, Luo Yichen came. His expression was still the same as that of half a month ago. It seemed that everyone owed him money.
"Here's what you want."
Luo Yichen directly put a pink package in Su Li's hand and then turned away. He didn't want to have anything to do with this thing.
Su Li looked at Luo Yichen's back and was not angry. She turned to Heidan and others and asked, "How is it in the city recently?"
Heidan and others were the first to follow Su Li. They had been paying attention to the movements in the city, so they directly talked at once.
After an hour, everyone dispersed and the Linli Building returned to normal.
In the attic on the top floor, Su Li picked up a brush and wrote two words on the paper — — "Wu Yun".
With the help of her one million taels of silver, the Yan Family was not defeated in the business competition. But they didn't win all the money. The situation seemed to be in a stalemate.
As the saying went, a powerful dragon could not suppress a local snake. The power of the Yan Family was deeply rooted in the Qinghe Town. If Wu Yun wanted to fight against it, the price to pay was definitely far more than one million taels of silver. Presumably, even she felt a little bit overwhelmed.
"There is no turning back. Wu Yun, if I were you, what would I do next?"
…
In the Qinghe Girls' School, Su Li appeared at the door in a yellow gauze dress. When the guards saw Su Li, they immediately surrounded her with surprise and said with a smile, "Lecturer Su, you finally come back. We haven't seen you for half a month. We miss you very much. "
Su Li showed a gentle and bright smile and handed over the basket in her hand. She said, "The scenery of the Yinguang Town beside the Qinghe River is good. This is a local specialty. I bought a lot. You can have a taste."
The guards were overjoyed and quickly took it. Then they looked a little strange. They looked around and whispered, "Miss Su, are you really from the Su Family in the Dasu Town?"
Su Li was still smiling, but there was a trace of doubt in her eyes. She said, "Of course. Why do you ask?"
The guard quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no. I don't doubt the identity of Lecturer Su. It's just that the temperament of your family … It's hard to imagine that they can cultivate such an excellent person as you. "
"Oh?" Su Li's smile slowly disappeared. She said, "So, have you seen someone in the Su Family?"
"More than that. I have seen all of them!"
The guard took it for granted. Then he patted his head when he saw that Su Li was still doubtful. He said, "Look at me. It seems that you didn't know when your family came to the school. At that time, Mrs. Su was so fierce that Dean Wen was very angry. "
Su Li slightly pursed her lips, and a dim light flashed in her eyes.
At this time … the whole Su Family came to the Qinghe Town?!
After a quarter of an hour, Su Li appeared in the courtyard of Wen Ruomin. Seeing Su Li come back, Wen Ruomin was happy at first. Then she took Su Li's hand and sat down. She frowned and asked, "Su Li, do you know that all of your family members came to the Qinghe Town?"
"I heard it from the guards, but I don't know what happened."
Seeing Su Li's obedient answer, Wen Ruomin showed an indescribable expression, "I don't like to gossip behind people's backs. It's just that your parents are really …"
"I know."
Su Li looked calm and showed a faint smile, "But since I was born in the Su Family, I can only accept the result. After all, God doesn't give me the right to choose my parents. Besides … I have an elder brother who loves me, and that's enough. "
Su Li's words made Wen Ruomin feel more distressed. She would rather Su Li tell her about the sufferings she suffered in the Su Family these years than bear it silently.
"The school never allows outsiders to come in, even the relatives of the lecturers of the school. I spent a lot of effort to send them away from the gate of the school. But I heard that they are still in the Qinghe Town. They should live in the Fulai Inn. "
Wen Ruomin told Su Li about Su Huanli and others. Then she cautiously exhorted, "I have told them that the special-class lecturer of the Qinghe Girls' School has no real power. Don't expose that you are the workshop owner of the embroidery workshop. Otherwise, you will be in big trouble."
If the Su Family really knew that Su Li was the workshop owner of the embroidery workshop, Wen Ruomin could imagine that Su Huanli and others would force Su Li to take advantage of her identity and give the green light to the silk shop industry of the Su Family. Once the Jin Family and the Lin Family got hold of it, even the Yan Family would be in trouble. It was not a joke.
"I see."
Su Li nodded and looked calm. She said, "Even if someone told them, I would not do that. Even if I have to bear the name of unfilial, I can't let Dean Gong and you down. "
And she couldn't let Yan Shixun fail in this battle!
Otherwise, wouldn't her one million taels of silver be in vain?!
"Child, it's really hard for you."
Wen Ruomin sighed deeply. She had heard from Ning Yunzhi that Su Li was an out-and-out filial daughter. No matter how the Su Family treated her, she always had no complaints or regrets. But now, she was asked to violate her own beliefs.
What a sin!
After saying goodbye to Wen Ruomin, Su Li didn't go back to the courtyard of the school. Instead, she directly left the school and walked to the Fulai Inn. The guards at the gate sighed again and again, as if they had seen a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth.
In the Fulai Inn.
When the waiter saw Su Li coming, he immediately came to her with a big smile and asked, "What do you want? Do you want to have a meal or stay in the inn? "
Su Li showed a very reluctant smile and gently said, "I'm Su Li."
The waiter was so shocked that his eyes widened, and then he bowed to salute Su Li. Few people had seen Su Li's appearance, but her name had already spread throughout the Qinghe Town. It could be said that everyone in the Qinghe Town knew her.
"Lecturer Su, you finally come! I will take you to see Master Su! "
The waiter led the way for Su Li up the stairs and spat, "Master Su has owed ten days' rent. Because of your face, our shopkeeper can't drive them away, so he can only delay it. Anyway, they are the three main branches. It's not a good thing to delay it all the time! Fortunately, we have been looking forward to the stars and the moon. Finally, you come! "
"Lecturer Su! Lecturer Su! "
Before the waiter continued to say anything, a round fat man climbed up the stairs flexibly downstairs and said, "I heard that you went to the Qinghe River to relax. You have been gone for more than half a month. I miss you so much!"
Su Li looked indifferent and slightly nodded, "You must be the boss of the Fulai Inn, Wang Fulai?"
"Yes, I am!"
The fat man wiped the sweat on his head and rebuked the waiter. He licked his face and said with a smile, "Fortunately, Lecturer Su remembers my name. Are you here for Master Su and Madam Su?"
Su Li gently said "Hmm". Wang Fulai immediately led the way in front with enthusiasm.
The Fulai Inn had a total of three floors. The higher the floor, the more upscale and expensive it was. Wang Fulai took Su Li to the best three rooms of the inn and stopped.
"These three rooms are all Tianzi rooms with fifty taels of silver a night. Your family has occupied them for ten days. I can't help it. Anyway, you are a teacher. You should be reasonable and take your family away quickly! "
