Chapter 302 Do You Think This Will Work?
"How?" Su Jixiang frowned and asked.
"Our people watched as that guy went to a pharmacy and bought a bag of arsenic." Lu Shui said angrily, "He asked his wife to make medicine for the old man, and asked his wife to put arsenic in the medicine. Our people found out, and now they have replaced the medicine with the arsenic. The man's wife didn't notice it."
Su Jixiang felt a little angry in his heart.
She doesn't like to speculate about others with the most vicious thoughts, but there are people who really have evil intentions.
This man has been coveting his parents' small shop for a long time.
This shop is in a good location, and you can always make a lot of money from selling it.
He owed a lot of gambling debts and was almost willing to sell his wife and children.
"Where is the replaced medicine?" Su Jixiang asked.
"It has been delivered." Lu Shui said.
"Is there still no news from Weidong?" Su Jixiang asked.
"Not yet. Anshun City is more than half a day's journey from our Mang City even by fast horse. I estimate that Weidong and Madam Qu will return in the late night." Lushui said.
"Then we should hold off for now and wait for Madam Qu to come and make the decision." Su Jixiang said. "Go get some knockout drugs and let the couple fall asleep first. You go get the proper medicine for the old couple to drink. After all, we have to ensure the safety of the old couple before Madam Qu comes."
"Yes." Lu Shui replied.
"Can the Marquis return home today?" Su Jixiang asked.
"I guess he won't go back." Lu Shui said, "The Marquis needs to go inspect the camp today."
"Then let's wait here for news from Weidong." Su Jixiang said.
It just so happened that she wanted to recalculate the bakery's income and expenditure these days.
Lushui listened to Su Jixiang and went to the opposite side to continue watching.
Su Jixiang gathered everyone together, first summarized all the previous work, praised everyone's achievements, and then pointed out a few points that needed attention. Only then did he let everyone except Liu Xiaojuan go back first.
After being left behind, Liu Xiaojuan felt a little uneasy, wondering if she was called out alone because she had done something wrong.
"Don't be nervous." Su Jixiang smiled at Liu Xiaojuan, "Sit down and talk." She pointed to a chair on the side.
Liu Xiaojuan felt a little awkward but still sat down obediently.
"How is the child doing in school?" Su Jixiang asked.
"Thanks to my wife, the children are doing well. They are all learning well from my husband and are eating well in school." When Liu Xiaojuan mentioned this, she stood up a little excitedly and bowed to Su Jixiang.
If she hadn't met Su Jixiang who provided them with such conditions, she would still be washing clothes for others to earn a little pitiful money to support her children.
In just two short months, life at home has changed dramatically.
"Did the neighbors say anything bad about you and your mother-in-law when you went out to do things?" Su Jixiang smiled slightly, motioning Liu Xiaojuan not to be nervous and to sit down and talk.
Liu Xiaojuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"After all, they are just people in the community, so there will be some rumors." Liu Xiaojuan rubbed her hands and said quickly, "But don't worry, Madam, we won't pay attention to these unreasonable words."
"Well. Just ignore it." Su Jixiang said, "Live a good life. It's better than anything else. You know your own feelings. Don't care about other people's thoughts and opinions." Su Jixiang looked at Liu Xiaojuan and smiled, "But if there is a chance for you to change to a better environment, are you willing?"
Liu Xiaojuan was delighted, "Of course I am willing." Before, she had no money, so she and her mother-in-law rented a house in a compound, where there were all kinds of people, naturally some good people and some bad people. Now she and her mother-in-law are working outside, and seeing that their lives are getting better, many people there are jealous, but because they are widows of the Black Tiger Army, even if some people are jealous to death, they can't find a better way to make money than Liu Xiaojuan and her mother-in-law. They can only use some vicious words to slander them.
In fact, this is not just Liu Xiaojuan's situation. Many women who work for Su Jixiang have encountered this kind of confusion. After all, this era is extremely unfriendly to women. If a woman works outside, she will be exposed to the public and face a lot of slander. It's just that Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning have high status and their husbands are very protective of them, so they don't have this kind of trouble, but it doesn't mean that other women will not be slandered in various ways.
Su Jixiang was a very careful person. Since she had hired these women to help her, she would not just use them and ignore other things. Su Jixiang had sent people to inquire about these in advance.
So Su Jixiang formed an idea in his heart.
She also told Wei Ling about this idea, and Wei Ling also highly appreciated Su Jixiang's idea.
Mangcheng has now expanded more than twice, and there are many vacant lots around it. Su Jixiang wants to buy a piece of land in the south city to make an overall plan.
This idea was just an immature thought in her mind before, but after learning about the slander and defamation suffered by these women who came out to work, these ideas instead took on some substance.
She wants to build a residential area and a commercial food street.
So Su Jixiang came here today to find out some information indirectly.
Su Jixiang took out a roll of drawings and unfolded it to show Liu Xiaojuan.
"Take a look at these first." Su Jixiang said to Liu Xiaojuan.
Liu Xiaojuan took the drawings and looked at them carefully one by one. The drawings showed the layout of an entire street, as well as several styles of houses.
There are many types of courtyards, including large courtyards with three entrances and three exits, and small courtyards with a single entrance.
"This is..." Liu Xiaojuan looked at Su Jixiang with some confusion after reading the drawings.
"This is the blueprint of the house." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "If I take the lead in building these houses with everyone, how many people do you think will participate?"
Liu Xiaojuan's heart skipped a beat. Regardless of anything else, she intuitively felt that this was a good thing.
"Boss, I'd like to hear the details!" Liu Xiaojuan asked hurriedly.
"Mangcheng has expanded, and these vacant lots will be sold out." Su Jixiang said with a smile. "I plan to buy this large piece of vacant land in the name of everyone, and participate in the investment according to the proportion of investment. After the development and construction of houses in the future, the profits will be divided according to the proportion of investment. Do you think this is feasible?"
Liu Xiaojuan was stunned when she heard this. "Madam, do you mean to take us with you?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I discuss this with you?" Su Jixiang said with a smile.
