Chapter 28: Successfully winning over Si Mingyu, but an unexpected event occurs.
Since leaving the Su family, Si Mingyu has appeared calm, but in reality, she has been very nervous.
Especially since she gave all her family's wealth to Su Luo, she felt like she was walking on thin ice, as if one wrong step could send her tumbling into an abyss.
Si Mingyu had witnessed darkness. In the Si family, she was transformed from a pampered daughter of heaven into a prisoner, and was even picked over by the direct descendants of the Su family like a commodity. Her dignity was almost shattered!
She didn't want to go through that kind of pain again.
Placing all hopes on Su Luo is a huge gamble!
In the end, she won her gamble!
At least, at this moment, upon seeing that box of silver, Si Mingyu saw a glimmer of hope!
This made her incredibly excited, and she burst into tears of joy.
Su Luo tried to calm himself down, then pulled her into his arms without offering any words of comfort.
At this moment, a silent embrace is the best comfort.
Soon, Si Mingyu wiped away her tears and smiled, "I'm sorry you had to see this!"
Su Luo laughed and said, "What do you mean by 'seeing or not seeing something laughable'? I understand. Besides, you are my wife!"
Si Mingyu's pretty face flushed slightly. Only now did she truly acknowledge Su Luo and consider him her husband.
"Hate!"
Si Mingyu pushed Su Luo away and left the room, then turned back with a shy look on her face: "From now on, you can just call me Mingyu."
Su Luo was taken aback for a moment, then laughed as well.
Looking at the silver on the ground, Su Luo nodded. Sure enough, no matter what world you're in, money is a man's greatest source of confidence!
You absolutely must have the ability to make money!
Although Si Mingyu didn't resist him before, her eyes were always somewhat distant. But today is completely different. The strategy can be said to have succeeded.
Si Mingyu has completely given up on Su Luo; only the final step remains between them.
Su Luo believes that more positions will be unlocked soon.
Thinking of this, Su Luo couldn't help but lick her dry lips, her eyes shining.
Although the gentle Ah Yue was already captivating enough, he was also looking forward to seeing what kind of contrast the talented Si Mingyu would bring.
hiss!
Don't overthink it, it's still broad daylight, getting too angry isn't good!
Su Luo decided to go to the workshop first to improve the salt production efficiency. After all, they needed to produce 5,000 catties of snowflake salt for the Sinan Trading Company within ten days!
Moreover, we also need to produce enough refined salt for Tianyun Trading Company!
Therefore, the salt production rate of 300 catties of snowflake salt per day is too slow; it needs to be increased by at least five times!
In addition to producing salt, we also need to acquire other means of self-defense...
Otherwise, if the Su family or the bandits from Langya Mountain come looking for trouble again during this period, it will be a big problem.
"Master! Master!"
"Please, young master, save my son!"
As soon as Su Luo stepped out of the courtyard, he saw several elderly people from Xiaoyun Village kneeling in front of the courtyard, their faces full of panic.
Standing next to them was Village Chief Tang Daniu, sighing heavily.
Upon seeing Su Luo appear, several old men immediately began kowtowing to him repeatedly, pleading, "Young master, please save my son! He's my only son..."
"Although I have three sons, two of them were sent to work in the mines by the young master of the Xie family, and their fates are unknown! Now only this one is left!"
"Young master, if they die too, our lineage will end!"
"Young master, as long as you can save my son, we will serve you like a slave and do anything for you!"
Su Luo frowned, realizing that something must have happened to the young people from Xiaoyun Village, who were hiding in the mountains.
He walked over calmly and asked, "Gentlemen, what happened?"
"Don't rush, just speak slowly... Don't call me young master anymore, I'm the new village chief of Xiaoyun Village, just call me village chief."
The old men immediately started chattering, which gave Su Luo a headache. He looked at Tang Daniu and said, "Uncle Tang, you tell me!"
"Village chief, they have no choice but to panic, there's really no other way..."
Tang Daniu sighed, his old face showing some shame, and said, "When the young master of the Cui family came to our Xiaoyun Village to be the village chief, he forcibly conscripted more than half of the young people in our village to work in the mines!"
"We've been digging for two or three years now, and we don't know if they're alive or dead!"
“Now, there are less than thirty young people left in our Xiaoyun Village. So before we heard that you were coming, we were all very worried. You also want to call our young people to go mining!”
"With no other choice, we had to send the young people to hide in the mountains first. Village chief, we hope you can understand. This is our last hope. If these people are gone, our Xiaoyun Village will be extinct!"
Su Luo nodded. She already knew about these things, so she wasn't angry.
Su Luo calmly asked, "And then?"
The calmer he was, the more ashamed Tang Daniu and the other elderly people in Xiaoyun Village felt. The main reason was that Su Luo had given them real wages for their help these past two days, which was enough to show that Su Luo was different from the previous village chiefs.
After all, those village chiefs used to exploit them to the bone; they certainly wouldn't give them any money!
Su Luo is a good village chief!
However, they hid their sons!
They're worried that Su Luo won't treat them well!
They only revealed the truth now that they needed Su Luo's help, which made them feel ashamed!
Pfft!
Tang Daniu also knelt down, head bowed, pleading dejectedly, "Village Chief, I know we misunderstood you first, and we're begging you now... but we really have no other choice!"
"But Erniu and his men are trapped in the cave by bears, and two of them have already died. If they don't drive the bears away, everyone will die!"
"Our Xiaoyun Village will also be extinct!"
Su Luo then realized what had happened. It turned out that the group of young men from Xiaoyun Village who were hiding in the mountains had their cave blocked by bears!
They tried everything, and two people died, but they still couldn't escape!
In the end, the only option was to get the news out!
Su Luo frowned, thought for a moment, and sighed, "Uncle Tang, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, it's just..."
"That's a bear!"
“There are only about thirty of us here. We can handle one bear, but according to you, at least two or three bears surrounded the cave together!”
"There's nothing I can do about it!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Daniu was overcome with grief, as his last son, Tang Erniu, was also in the cave.
Are all the able-bodied men in Xiaoyun Village destined to wait for death?!
The other elderly people were moved to tears and wept bitterly, filled with immense regret.
Seeing this, Su Luo didn't say anything, just sighed softly, and went to the workshop.
Ye Hu was already waiting at the workshop entrance, clearly aware of the bear incident, and asked with a serious expression, "Young Master, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
"If we don't rescue those young people, I'm afraid... the old people in Xiaoyun Village won't live much longer either! This Xiaoyun Village will soon become a truly dead village!"
"But if we go into the mountains, without knowing exactly how many bears there are, even with a total of thirty-six people, it's hard to guarantee that we'll succeed!"
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Su Luo's eyes, and he calmly said, "This time, the bears' attack on the villagers might be an opportunity for us..."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Su Luo in astonishment.
