As soon as the carriage drove into Yuhe Village, it attracted the attention of the villagers.

The villagers were surprised and delighted to see the mother and daughter in the carriage, and they all greeted them:
"Mother Xiaoxiao, you are finally here."

"I've been gone for more than half a month. It's been a long time since I last saw you."

"Yes, yes, I'm a little uncomfortable not seeing you in the village."

……

Listening to the villagers' warm greetings, Jiang Xiaoxiao also replied with a smile: "Thank you all uncles and aunts for your concern. Come to my house when you have time..."

Jiang Xuelian sat in the carriage and looked out of the window. She could see the villagers' warm and sincere smiles. In their eyes, when they looked at the Jiang mother and daughter, there was not only smiles but also a bit of respect.

She didn't feel a little strange.

Although Mrs. Jiang and Xiaoxiao are nice people, how come they are so respected by the entire village?
Could it be that they are some big shots who live in the countryside with hidden identities?

As the carriage gradually drove in, it passed by the soap workshop and finally stopped in front of the Jiang family's courtyard.

Jiang Xuelian couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the two-story Chinese courtyard villa surrounded by high walls in front of her.

This, this is where the rural people live? !
This is even better than the living conditions of some wealthy families in Xuzhou town!

Jiang Xiaoxiao jumped out of the carriage and went to open the door.

Jiang Wei continued to drive the carriage into the courtyard.

After entering the yard, the two-story courtyard house with a large courtyard in front of you looks more high-end and elegant.

Jiang Xuelian opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

What a big house.

Are Mrs. Jiang and Xiaoxiao the only ones living here?
Jiang Xiaoxiao lifted the carriage curtain and pulled the stunned Jiang Xuelian out of the carriage, saying with a smile, "From now on, you will live here with us."

"No, no..." Jiang Xuelian subconsciously wanted to refuse, but as soon as she said that, a group of people rushed in from outside.

He is a worker in a soap workshop.

As soon as they heard that the Jiang mother and daughter had returned, they couldn't wait to come out to see.

"Oh, Xiaoxiao's mother, you are finally back." Qiulian's mother came forward, her tired face unable to hide her happiness.

Ever since the mother and daughter left for Xuzhou, the soap workshop has been looked after and managed by her and Mrs. Zhao.

It would be a lie to say that it isn't tiring to manage so many workers in such a large soap workshop and to check and count the soap produced every day.

She and Mrs. Zhao would come here before dawn almost every day and would not go home until it was completely dark.

Fortunately, there is nothing else to do in this late autumn and early winter.

"You've worked hard." Looking at the tired Qiulian mother and Mrs. Zhao standing silently beside them, Jiang Wei said, "I'll go cook later. You two can stay and have dinner together."

"Forget it." Qiu Lian's mother waved her hand and refused. "You have come all the way back from Xuzhou. You must be exhausted. You may not have slept well. You should have a good rest for a day and then entertain us later when you have time."

After that, she began to urge the workers to go back to the soap workshop to work: "Okay, okay, we have seen the people, let's go back to work quickly, so as not to delay their orders."

"Order?" Jiang Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned.

"During the time when you were away, several wealthy businessmen came to Qingping County and placed orders for several large quantities of soap. I helped them to get the orders." Mrs. Zhao explained as she took out a paper order and handed it over.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took it and looked at it. There were four groups of people in total. They were all wealthy businessmen and shop owners who had ordered large quantities of soap from her house before.

I guess the soap I ordered from her last time was sold out. After tasting the sweetness of huge profits, she continued to place orders, and the quantity she ordered was quite large.

Jiang Xiaoxiao put away the order paper, thought for a moment and said, "Let's postpone their orders for a few days and focus on Xuzhou first."

After all, the profit in Xuzhou is higher, and it is their own shop, so they should be given priority. Mrs. Zhao nodded and began to report the status of the soap workshop in the past few days and the current inventory in detail.

"... During your absence, everyone worked diligently and came to work on time every day. Now the soap storage capacity has reached 10,000 pieces..."

Ten thousand dollars?!
Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned when she heard this number. So much?
It seems that a batch can be transported over from Xuzhou first.

"Nothing has happened in the soap workshop recently, has it?" Jiang Weigang asked casually after tying the horse to the stable.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao remained silent.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Isn't there really anything wrong?"

Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything, but just glanced at Jiang Xuelian beside her, as if she was considering whether she should say it in front of outsiders.

Jiang Wei said directly: "It's okay, just tell me, she will be a member of my Jiang family from now on."

Jiang Xuelian, who was feeling a little embarrassed by Mrs. Zhao's gaze, was hesitating whether to move away. Suddenly, when she heard Jiang Wei say this, she felt as if she were soaked in a honey pot, sweet and happy.

She lowered her head shyly and leaned closer to Jiang Wei.

Mrs. Zhao said, "It's not a big deal, it's just... when you were away, I heard Dagang say that a few days ago a stranger secretly approached the workers in the soap workshop."

"Outsider?" Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned. "Where is he from?"

"I quietly asked a few workers in the soap workshop, and they said they were from the Sun family in Qingping County." Mrs. Zhao said, "I guess they probably want to buy the soap formula."

"Buy the formula..." Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned.

I'm afraid not necessarily.

The Sun family came to buy the recipe before, but after being rejected by her family, they probably won’t come again to suffer the same fate.

They were targeting the workers in the soap workshop individually, and I'm afraid they had other intentions.

"Which people in the soap workshop have they looked for?" Jiang Wei asked.

"I looked for Shuanzi's mother, Zhang's eldest sister-in-law, Zhang Dalin, Gao Daniu..." Zhao counted on her fingers, "Oh, yes, and Aunt Wu San, that's about it."

Hearing these names, Jiang Xiaoxiao's brows gradually relaxed.

Fortunately, these people are all honest people in the village, or they have a good relationship with her family.

Except for the one called Aunt Wu San.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't have much impression of her. She only remembered that she had been lazy in the soap workshop before, but she corrected her behavior after being taught a lesson by her mother.

But this person is not to be taken lightly.

Jiang Wei didn't write down these names and asked some other questions.

By the time Mrs. Zhao left, it was almost dusk.

They came back a little late to begin with, and now they had to deal with so many things without even having lunch.

Jiang Wei simply handed the task of cooking to Jiang Xuelian and went to the soap workshop himself.

At this moment, the workers in the soap workshop were preparing to get off work. When they saw her coming, they all greeted her.

Jiang Wei nodded slightly, and did not greet anyone individually. Instead, he asked everyone to go home as soon as possible and talk about it tomorrow.

Aunt Wu, who was standing in the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief and went home without looking back.

Jiang Wei waited until everyone left before entering the soap workshop's warehouse, then waved his hand and put all the soaps into the space. (End of this chapter)
