Chapter 123 Untitled Chapter

Fu Lingshan was surprised that this girl was so magnanimous and had thought of everything.

“Miss Yaoyao, from this day forward I, Fu Lingshan, swear to follow you to the death.” Fu Lingshan bowed deeply.

Working for an employer like that, they might have a good life in the future.

The other two also bowed.

"Get up, all of you! Since the three of you are in charge of the slums, I'll leave the rest to you. Uncle Village Chief, you're over fifty years old now. Are you thinking about retiring or helping me out?"

She could tell that the village chief was in very poor health, and if things continued like this, he really might not live for more than a few years.

"This..." The village chief fell into deep thought.

The people in the slums are now considered Yaoyao's people, so he has done right by those people.

The village chief's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he also realized that his body was no longer able to function properly.

I should just retire and enjoy my old age!

He decided to hand over the position of village chief to his son. "Miss Yaoyao! I've decided to let my son take over the position of village chief. What do you think?"

“From now on, let him do things for the girl!” The village chief turned around and looked at his son.

Bai Hu Yaoyao glanced at the man behind him; this was his son, Ma Tian.

Martin stepped forward and bowed, "Martin greets the young lady!"

"Okay! You and Fu Lingshan can handle anything from now on. Also, find a few capable helpers to help you with things. After the land deeds are changed in a few days, it'll be time to get to work in the fields."

She roughly calculated that even if all the land in the slum were sold to her, it would only amount to two thousand acres, and she planned to buy another thousand acres.

These matters will be left to him and Fu Lingshan to handle.

"We will all follow Miss Yaoyao's arrangements!" the three said.

The white fox took out a bag of tokens and a stack of employment contracts. "Fu Lingshan, these are the employment contracts and tokens. Whoever signs the contract will be given a token to wear at all times, and records will be kept."

Fu Lingshan was entrusted with an important task and accepted the token and contract with some surprise and delight.

"Ling Shan will absolutely not let Miss Yao Yao down."

Baihu Yaoyao nodded, then looked at Ma Tian, ​​"Brother Ma, go and buy all the land in the slum. I plan to build a commercial district there."

Martin: "Don't worry, young lady! I'll do it right away!"

When the three of them left the restaurant, they felt as if they were floating on clouds, as if everything that had happened that day was a dream.

Looking at the token in their hands, they realized they weren't dreaming.

"Uncle Ma, since the three of us have already signed the contract, let's go to the grain store and get some grain to take home."

Fu Lingshan took the token and went to the discount grain store next door.

My elderly mother hasn't had a proper meal in a long time.

The three arrived at the grain store.

There were more than a dozen people busy at the grain store. When they saw the newcomers, Baichun got up to greet them.

Are you buying grain?

This grain store just opened, and this is the first time they've had customers.

The grain store had shelves with items arranged neatly and orderly.

It's like a small farmers' market.

Fu Lingshan looked at the mountain of fine rice, the abundance of vegetables and fruits, and even a considerable amount of mixed grains inside, and thought he was seeing things.

Winter has just passed, where will we get fresh vegetables and fruits?
"Manager, we're here to collect our grain." Fu Lingshan suppressed his shock and handed over the token.

Bai Chun knew what was going on as soon as he saw the token. "So you've signed a contract with the master. Wait here! I'll get you the food."

Bai Chun ordered someone to bring thirty catties of fine rice, some green vegetables, and one catty of pork.

"This grain is a month's supply for one person, and the vegetables and pork are a day's supply for one person. If we give you too much vegetables and pork, it won't keep well. Just come back for more when you've finished. The master said that meat and vegetables should be eaten fresh for the best health."

"Go get the charcoal next door."

Bai Chun deftly packed the vegetables and pork into a paper bag and handed it to him.

I took notes while doing this.

Fu Lingshan held the green vegetables, then looked at the thirty catties of polished rice on the ground, and tears welled up in his eyes.

It's true! He finally has food to eat!

"Thank you!"

Fu Lingshan took the things and left.

He wanted to go back and tell his mother that their family had a way to survive.

The village chief and his son received the same things.

The others haven't signed contracts yet, so naturally they won't receive the items.

They need to hurry back and get everyone in the slums to sign contracts!

Fu Lingshan carried the things home and saw that his mother was still asleep, so he quickly went to the kitchen to cook.

One person can eat a pound of refined rice, a pound of pork, and some vegetables a day, which is definitely enough to fill them up.

His mother had been ill for a long time and was not suitable to eat dry rice, so he cooked lean meat porridge.

"Lingshan, what smells so good?" Tian was awakened by the aroma.

Fu Lingshan had already brought in a bowl of lean meat porridge and quickly helped his mother sit up on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Mother, this is rice porridge with lean meat powder, please have some."

Tian was so thin that she was just skin and bones, and looked like a living skeleton.

Looking at the fine, white rice in the bowl, Madam Tian thought her son had done something wrong and sternly scolded him, "Lingshan, we must have a bottom line. Never do bad things. Your mother doesn't have much time left, so you don't need to think about your mother anymore."

Fu Lingshan realized that his mother had misunderstood him, so he explained the matter of signing the land sale contract.

"Mother, we won't have to worry about food and clothing anymore. After you finish eating, a doctor from Huichuntang will come to see you."

The news of his mother's serious illness has been reported, and Miss Yaoyao said that a doctor from Huichuntang would come to treat his mother.

After her initial shock, Tian was moved to tears. "My son! You must work hard with Miss Yaoyao! Miss Yaoyao has been so good to us, we can't be ungrateful."

Fu Lingshan nodded, "Mother, don't worry! I will definitely work hard with Miss Yaoyao from now on. You should drink your porridge first."

Only then did Mrs. Tian feel at ease enough to drink the porridge in her bowl.

The mother and daughter had just finished eating when the doctor from Huichuntang arrived.

The doctor took his pulse and said, "It's because you haven't been able to eat enough for many years, and the physical strain has left you with a lot of damage. This is a Rejuvenating Pill. Taking these five pills will cure you completely."

The doctor took out a jade bottle and placed it on the table.

He couldn't help but marvel at his employer's generosity; such a wonderful Rejuvenating Pill was given away so readily.

The Rejuvenation Pill is a uniquely crafted medicine made by the owner; it can even bring the dead back to life.

Such fine pills, each one worth a fortune, yet the owner gave them away without batting an eye.

Fu Lingshan said gratefully, "Thank you so much, doctor!"

"You should thank the boss. We are all people who have signed contracts with the boss. I'm leaving now! I still have a few patients to treat!"

The doctor took his medicine kit and left.

The doctors at Huichuntang have now signed the same employment contract with Baihu Yaoyao. Their treatment is better; in addition to the promised salary plus ten taels of silver, they also receive an extra Huichun Pill.

However, doctors are much busier now than before.

Even when they are busy, they feel at ease because they have food to eat under the employer's guidance.

After settling his mother in, Fu Lingshan took the token and the contract to an empty house in the slum.

There are already quite a few people waiting here.

Seeing that Fu Lingshan had finally arrived, everyone was excited and eager to get started.

"Lingshan! Hurry up and sign the contract, we need to go collect our food!"

"Yes, yes! We need to go get our food!"

"Hurry up, sign the contract now!"

They knew the village chief and the others had already received their food, and they couldn't wait any longer.

One more chapter to come, stay tuned.
