Wanjin Lady

Chapter 203 Account
"Also, I don't have many friends in Ping County, but I have made a lot of enemies." Wen Wan curled her lips and smiled mockingly, "There are a few people you need to be wary of."

"The first is Manager Ding from Xinlong Bank. I'll leave you some money for emergencies. Unless absolutely necessary, you must not borrow from the bank."

Mei Qing replied, "Boss, go with peace of mind. The winery's business is doing well now, and funds are slowly flowing back. The situation will definitely improve in the second half of the year. The old boss's place is full of places to spend money, so you can take all the money on the books."

Wen Wan didn't refuse.

I don’t know what the situation is in Bozhou yet. We need to take care of everything, and there are so many people to feed, drink, defecate and urinate, so there will be a lot of money to spend.

"Okay. I'll take the money. You can manage the funds that come back later."

"Secondly, be sure to be careful of the Cheng and Yuan families." Wen Wan thought about it. She wasn't sure how Yuan Liulang knew it was her idea to collect grain in Bingzhou last time. She could only guess that it was Cheng Yunzhang who leaked the information. "Especially my senior brother..."

Mei Qing's expression changed slightly.

"The third is Zhu Wang, the shopkeeper of Zhuji. He previously conspired with Yuan Liulang to seize our winery, and he's a fickle fence-sitter. Now that we're weak, we must not let him take advantage of us."

Mei Qing remembered it very well.

Wen Wan smiled bitterly again, "Thank you for pushing me to keep this family business for me. I really can't find anyone else to entrust my trust to except you."

Mei Qing suddenly felt a heavy pressure on her shoulders. She couldn't back down at this point and could only act like a duck on a shed, as the young master said.

"Young Master, I will do my best to protect the winery for you."

Wen Wan corrected her, "It's our winery."

Mei Qing's eyes lit up, and her dark eyes seemed to have light.

As he was speaking, he heard the servant come to report that Zhu Wang from the granary had arrived.

As soon as Zhu Wang entered, he wiped his tears, his belly pounding as he spoke, "Niece, how could my brother have to face such a thing?! Why is his life so miserable——"

Ah.

Now you don’t even want to use the word “real brother” anymore, and just change it to “younger brother”?

Although the matter of Father Wen will be reported back to Ping County sooner or later, but——

Wen Wan glanced at the servant who went to the Zhu family to borrow a carriage.

The servant realized belatedly that he had spoken too hastily and lowered his head in shame.

Wen Wan didn't have time to fight the pig demon right now. She had to leave tomorrow and had a lot of things to deal with tonight. She waved her hand and said, "Manager Zhu, my place is a mess. If you have anything to say, wait until I get back."

When Zhu Wang came in, he saw the Wen family coming in and out, with pots, pans, bedding, dry food, etc. all spread out in the front yard, making a mess.

Seeing this, and remembering Wen Wan sending someone to borrow a carriage, Zhu Wang immediately became furious. "Niece! You're pregnant and about to give birth! You're going to Bozhou at this time?!"

Which woman in labor can withstand such a bumpy ride?

Wen Wan had heard too much of this tonight and no longer had the energy to refute. She simply said, "Manager Zhu, I'm determined to leave. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I'll borrow your carriage for a while, and I'll pay you according to the rental fee when the time comes."

Zhu Wang looked insulted. "Niece, what you said really hurts your uncle Zhu! You can use the carriage! What are you talking about money? Here—"

Zhu Wang looked around. "I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower? I heard the road to Bozhou is not safe. It's not safe for my niece to lead these few people!"

Zhu Wang's mind raced. Wen Wan was in great need of someone right now. This girl looked like a disaster, but she always managed to turn misfortune into good fortune and even make a small profit.

Going to Bozhou... who knows how dangerous it might be... yet so exciting. Old Zhu was itching to go, instantly forgetting his wife's instructions. With a hint of politeness, he hesitated before asking, "Niece, if it really doesn't work out, I'll go with you. I'll take two more men—"

Wen Wan agreed immediately: "Okay!"

Zhu Wang was a little confused. "Niece... you agreed so soon?"

Shouldn't we be on guard against Old Zhu doing something bad and not take him on the road?
He hasn't decided yet!
Wen Wan spoke sincerely, "Uncle Zhu, I won't hide it from you. My Wen family is in dire need of people right now. We're unfamiliar with Bozhou, and what happened to my father... There are places that need people and money everywhere. Since Uncle Zhu has come to my aid and considers my Wen family one of his own, how could I possibly push him away?"

"Ah..." Is Zhu Wang so noble?

Well, my eldest niece said yes, so he must be.

He is a good man who loves justice!
"Alright! Since my niece doesn't mind, I'll help my brother this time! Just wait, I'm going home to pack my things now, and tomorrow morning I'll follow you to Bozhou to rescue people!"

Old Zhu rushed into the night without looking back.

Mei Qing was stunned. This… Didn't the young master just say that he should be on guard against Zhu Wang? How could he take him to Bozhou in the blink of an eye?

Wen Wan said in a cold voice, "I'll take this pig demon away, and you can rest assured about the winery. Put him under my nose, and I'll see how he can do evil."

Tonight is destined to be uneventful.

Not long after the pig demon was sent away, the Yao couple and Cheng Yunzhang rushed over anxiously.

When Old Lady Yao saw the young woman busying around in the night with her big belly, she felt complicated.

Which young lady, seven or eight months pregnant, would have to travel hundreds of miles on a bumpy mountain road?

Which young lady can withstand hundreds of miles of bumpy mountain roads?
"I've heard everything." Old Madam Yao grasped her hand. "Don't worry too much. I believe there's something fishy about this case. Besides, it'll take at least two or three months for the death penalty case to be sent to the Ministry of Justice. There's still time."

Madam Yao felt sorry for Wen Wan. "You're about to give birth, and you'll have to travel so hard. Think about it again."

The young lady shook her head with a determined look, "Mother, I can have more children, but I only have this one father. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will go."

Old Master Yao sighed, "I knew I couldn't persuade her! This girl has a stubborn temper!"

Looking at the young lady with red eyes but stubbornly pursed lips, Old Master Yao sighed even more heavily, "I didn't intend to persuade you. Your godmother and I discussed it on the way here. Since I can't persuade you, I'll go with you!"

"No—" Wen Wan was startled and refused without thinking. "My godfather and godmother are old, how can they withstand such a long journey?"

Madam Yao held back the anxious Wen Wan and said, "Listen to me first."

Wen Wan pursed her lips tightly, "No matter what my stepmother says, I won't agree."

"Girl, how could you not know that you are not only stubborn, but also very stubborn."

"You are now more than seven months pregnant. What if you give birth midway?"

"I'm bringing Chen Ma with me. And I'll be walking very slowly along the way."

"After all, Aunt Chen isn't a midwife. What use can she be at a critical moment?"

But midwives are useless. The only one who is really useful is an obstetrician and gynecologist.
