Liyun Lane was about to open, and Hua Zhi went to take a last look. Taking Green Moss Lane as an example, the manager Chen Liang had managed everything very well. Except for the lack of worldly atmosphere here, it looked no different from Green Moss Lane.
Green Moss Lane was crowded with people. Hua Zhi stood at this end of the river and watched for a while, but did not go over.
"Miss, Mr. Bai is here."
Hua Zhi turned around when she heard the voice and saw who was sitting on the tall horse but Bai Mingxia.
"Uncle." Hua Zhi bowed.
Bai Mingxia dismounted and supported her, looking at the alley with her, "I don't know how many people are jealous of this deal now. Fortunately, you are smart and asked the Zhu family to block it."
If this business belonged to the Hua family, she would not be able to hold on to it. For the sake of that yellow and white thing, some people would resort to any shameless means. Thinking about her own family affairs, Bai Mingxia felt sick.
"Uncle, you look a little thinner."
More than just weight loss, his clothes were hanging on his body and he looked shriveled. Hua Zhi could more or less guess what it was because when she went to her grandmother's house the other day, she heard that the Bai family was splitting up. She just didn't know if this person got what he wanted.
Bai Mingxia's lips curled slightly, "I separated from my family."
Hua Zhi responded with a soft "hmm" and didn't say much.
Bai Mingxia looked at her with sneer in his eyes, "I had expected that my good elder brother would not let me take advantage of him, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel. The family assets are only a few shops of mine and 30,000 taels of silver. Ha, even the Bai family's eldest daughter's dowry is more than this amount."
"I thought that the person who made the decision on the division of the family was Mr. Bai."
Bai Mingxia's tense expression revealed traces of pain. Yes, how could it be his eldest brother's turn to decide on the division of the family? That was why he felt even more upset.
Because he was the elder, he had to endure, give in, and give in. Wasn't that enough? How much money had he earned for the family in the past few years when he was in charge of the family business? How much benefit did his network of relationships bring to the family? Why couldn't they see what he did, but only remembered that he was the youngest son and couldn't go and rob things with his elder brother
If he really robbed it, it would be fine, it wouldn't be unfair, but did he rob it? Isn't it always the big brother who is aggressive
He always said that he would not suffer any loss, but he suffered a lot. He is also a family member.
"What's wrong with that? I think it's good."
Bai Mingxia looked at Hua Zhi.
Hua Zhi smiled and looked up at the clear sky. A row of swallows flew by. Autumn was already here. "It's better to see things clearly when you're thirty than to be used thoroughly and then kicked away when you're forty or fifty."
“… I’m still several years away from thirty!”
"Isn't that better? It's just money, you can make money if you want. When everyone knows that you've suffered a loss, your elder brother has already lost. People naturally sympathize with the weak. Your elder brother can protect his interests as an elder brother, but if he goes too far, he will be heartless. Cruel people always make people wary. Even if your parents have to stand on his side at this time, they may not feel guilty about you, and they may not dislike your brother. There is still a long way to go in the future, and who can be sure that they will have the last laugh."
Bai Mingxia's depression suddenly dissipated. He thought of the white hair that grew on his father's head overnight, his mother's tearful eyes as she hugged him, his brother's high spirits when he got up early to pay his respects to his parents but was turned away, and his nephew couldn't even lift his head when facing him...
Yes, my brother may not be able to live a happy life in the future.
And what he gained is not necessarily less than what he lost.
Bai Mingxia's heart suddenly brightened, and Zhang Sheng's handsome face also regained its spirit. He turned to look at the girl who seemed to have said nothing just now. After seeing her for a few days, this girl was really becoming more and more stable.
"Does what you said before still count?"
Hua Zhi understood the unclear words immediately, "The fruits used for canning are all picked from the trees at about this time. If uncle can go to the farm and give a hand now, I will be very grateful."
Bai Mingxia laughed. He never said he would go to the farm to take care of these things. However, he didn't need to go there in person to check on the shop. It would be better for him to go there in person to check on the goods and see if there was anyone cheating in the workshop.
"Okay, I'll take care of it for you for a few days."
"It's not for me, that's my uncle's own business." Hua Zhi leaned back slightly and was busy with various things when she came back. As for the canned food business, she had heard Xu Jie report several times and Yingchun also said something. Even if she wanted to go to the farm, she really couldn't spare the time. It would be great if my uncle was willing to go. As long as she could pass his review, the goods could be sold.
Each of them had their own things to do, so they said goodbye and left.
When the Hua family returned home, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows when they saw Shaoyao, who was dejected in the yard. Was she bullied by Yan Xi? However, at this point, Yan Xi should still be working as the emperor's ghostwriter in the palace.
"Huahua." Shaoyao looked at me pitifully, "I'm going to be away for a while."
"Any mission?"
"Go and take over the master."
Hua Zhi waved away the others and led Shaoyao into the study. "Is your master going to leave the palace?"
"Well, he said that the herb he was looking for is about to mature, so we need to prepare to leave. If we are late, we might miss it." Shaoyao touched her face, "I don't dislike this face, I'm used to it."
"But if there is a chance for things to get better, neither your master, Yan Xi, nor I will let it go."
“… I know.” Shaoyao leaned on Huahua. Because she knew, she couldn’t stop him, couldn’t say no.
"I'll ask Brother Yan to bring the meat jerky to you in a few days when it's ready." Hua Zhi patted her head. Yan Xi could leave the palace at any time, but Shaoyao couldn't. As a personal physician, she had to be on call in the palace all the time. "I'll ask Yan Xi if he can arrange for someone to bring you food."
"Good idea!" Shaoyao finally felt that there was hope in life. She grabbed Huahua's hand and shook it. "Brother Yan listens to you, Huahua, you must convince him!"
Hua Zhi pinched her face and said that the food could help her regain her spirits.
Liu Xiang, who was waiting at the door, glanced at the gate and reported: "Miss, Mr. Zheng is here."
Hua Zhi nodded and said to Shaoyao, "Is the medicine ready?"
"It's made, and there's no problem keeping it."
Hua Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Some people cannot eat seafood. In order to avoid allergies, she asked Shaoyao to develop an anti-allergic drug specifically for this purpose. If you have an allergic reaction after eating seafood in the store, taking a pill immediately will basically relieve the reaction. This point will also be made clear in the store, and this situation will never be allowed to become a handle for others to attack seafood.
"Before you enter the palace, go and prepare some more."
Shaoyao always obeyed Huahua's words, and this time was no exception. She obediently went to the pharmacy next door and passed by Zheng Zhi who came in.
