Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 305 Interrogation of Aunt Wu

Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, thought for a moment and said, "Mom, is my talent really that bad? I absorbed such a large second-level crystal core, but my abilities still haven't improved at all..."

Jiang Wei: "..."

It was rare for Jiang Xiaoxiao to see a silent and speechless expression on her mother's face.

"In just half a year, you went from zero to nothing, from an ordinary child to a third-level superpower... If even your talent is considered poor..." Jiang Wei looked at her with a dull face, "Then my mother and some of my former friends will be ashamed to death."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

Is she that powerful?
However, apart from being able to release some supernatural water, she doesn't have any other abilities and is not as powerful as described in novels.

The protagonists in other people's novels can destroy everything in an instant after gaining superpowers, and killing zombies is as easy as cutting tofu, but she gets out of breath even when running.

"Okay, don't think too much. It's not as easy as you think to break through from the third level to the fourth level. It requires great patience and perseverance." Jiang Wei touched her head soothingly. "Many of my friends in the past had a lot of crystal cores to provide for cultivation, but they were stuck at this step for a long time... Compared to them, you are already very good."

"Yeah, I understand." Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded her little head and said in a baby voice, "Then I will work harder in the future and strive to reach the fourth level of supernatural power."

As the mother and daughter were talking, they had unknowingly arrived at the soap workshop.

At the door, Liu Dagang was dozing with his chin on his hand, and the place next to him where firewood was placed was empty.

He was responsible for purchasing firewood for the soap workshop and stayed in the soap workshop every day without fail.

But recently no one came to sell firewood. Liu Dagang was so bored waiting, and the weather was too cold, that he could not help dozing off.

Jiang Wei walked forward and tapped the table with his fingers.

Liu Dagang suddenly woke up, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Xiaoxiao looking at him with a smile. He couldn't help scratching his head in shame: "Yes, I'm sorry, I was really a little sleepy, so I couldn't help it..."

"Brother Dagang, has no one come to sell firewood recently?" Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the small piles of firewood scattered around him. There were not as many as before.

"Yes." Liu Dagang nodded, "Two came yesterday, but no one came this morning."

"The weather is getting colder, and everyone is busy with firewood at home, so naturally there will be no extra firewood to sell to us." Jiang Wei said calmly, "Dagang, pack up and tell the villagers that from today on, the soap workshop will not buy firewood."

"Okay." Liu Dagang was very obedient. He began to tidy up the tables, chairs and benches placed here, and then picked up the firewood on the ground and put it into the straw shed next to him.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked in the direction and saw two straw sheds next to her soap workshop, which were full of firewood.

That’s quite a lot. This storage capacity should be enough to last through this winter.

Liu Dagang had finished packing and was about to leave after closing the door of the hut when Jiang Wei called him again: "Dagang, from now on your task is to patrol around the soap workshop and help me keep an eye on it. The wages will remain the same as before, okay?"

"Ah? This is just a quick look at the soap factory. It won't cost that much..."

Liu Da was about to refuse when he was interrupted by Jiang Wei's unquestionable words: "Okay, it's settled. We have something else to do. Let's go in and take a look first."

Jiang Wei took Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand and walked into the soap workshop.

In the five bungalows of the soap workshop, everyone was busy, and when they saw Jiang Wei coming to inspect, they worked even harder, and no one dared to be lazy. Jiang Wei's eyes slowly swept over the people working hard in the soap workshop, and finally fell on Aunt Wu.

Aunt Wu seemed to have noticed something and quietly looked up at Jiang Wei, but she met Jiang Wei's scrutinizing gaze directly.

Aunt Wu's heart trembled. She quickly lowered her head, worked non-stop with her hands and feet, pretending to be very busy.

"Aunt Wu, please come out for a moment." Jiang Wei spoke.

Aunt Wu's body was visibly shaken. She raised her head and managed a smile: "Mother Xiaoxiao, what's the matter?"

"You'll know when you come out." Jiang Wei just said this lightly, and then took Jiang Xiaoxiao out of the soap workshop.

Aunt Wu San had no choice but to follow tremblingly.

Jiang Wei chose a place sheltered from the wind in the soap workshop and stood there. Aunt Wu came up to her with gritted teeth.

"What's the matter, Xiaoxiao's mother? I haven't finished my work yet and can't delay." Aunt Wu pretended to be calm and smiled with a relaxed look on her face.

Jiang Wei said bluntly: "The people from the Sun family came to see you."

Although this is a question, the certainty in the words is obvious.

Aunt Wu could no longer maintain the smile on her face, and said stiffly: "The people from the Sun family did come to see me...but I didn't tell them anything, I swear!"

"What did the Sun family ask you?" Jiang Wei didn't listen to her, but asked directly, "Did they ask you for the soap formula?"

"They didn't ask me about the formula, but..." Aunt Wu San stuttered, her eyes rolling around, "They only asked me what I did every day in the soap workshop, who were the people in the soap workshop, and what specific work these people did..."

Listening to Aunt Wu's words, Jiang Xiaoxiao's face gradually darkened.

The purpose of the Sun family asking these questions is obvious.

Since I couldn't get the formula, I tried to infer the method of making soap by guessing what kind of work the workers in the soap workshop did every day... What a good trick.

Unfortunately, their questions were in vain.

"Are you serious about what you said?" Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Aunt Wu in front of him.

Aunt Wu nodded her head vigorously: "Mother Xiaoxiao, what I said is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can ask other people. The people from the Sun family not only asked me, but also other people in the soap workshop."

"I see." Jiang Wei glanced at her calmly, looking at the busy crowd in the soap workshop. "I will make a decision on this matter later. Now I have another matter to ask you. In the spring of next year, my soap workshop will recruit more people. I heard that you have two daughters at home, who are also hardworking. Do you intend to let them come to work in my soap workshop?"

"Ah? This, this might be..." Contrary to her usual attitude, Aunt Wu did not agree immediately, but became a little hesitant.

"What's wrong? You don't want to?" Jiang Wei's slightly narrowed eyes emitted an aggressive light, which made Aunt Wu San couldn't help but lower her head.

"Mother Xiaoxiao, it's not that I don't want to, but my two daughters are going to get married next year, so I really can't spare the time..."
