Chapter 114 News
After a while, all the big and small businessmen in Luzhou gathered in the flower hall, but seeing Mrs. Pan's complexion, everyone was a little panicked and restless.

"Mrs. Pan, what happened?" a lady asked.

Mrs. Pan thought for a while, looked at the crowd in embarrassment, and finally said: "Everyone knows, I invite everyone here today to donate money for the porridge. As a premise, the amount of donation is up to everyone to draw up. But."

Mrs. Pan paused, and then said: "But just now I received the news that Mr. Ma, the governor of Huainan Province, issued an order that all registered merchants in Huainan must pay a certain amount of silver to contribute to the earthquake disaster. Presumably, everyone will be notified soon, and I hope everyone is ready."

When Mu Mian heard Mrs. Pan's words, she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. She couldn't explain why she was inexplicably anxious, but she was just a little confused.

Ever since she knew that Li Changyuan and Ma Huaiwu were probably enemies, at least not friends, she had kept this heart in her throat.Now that Ma Huaiwu ordered the merchants to pay the disaster money, according to Mrs. Pan's tone, the money paid by each household must be a lot, and it may be a very large sum of money.

Did Ma Huaiwu really use this money for disaster relief?Or for personal gain?

Kapok is unknown.

There are businessmen present here, big and small, but those who can be invited by Mrs. Pan to the banquet are naturally powerful businessmen.Now that everyone has heard the news, although some businessmen don't feel anything, there are still many people who are embarrassed and have no interest in chatting with others.

Mrs. Pan obviously also saw that everyone's interest was lacking, so the banquet ended hastily.

Kapok doesn't mind donating money to the people of Luzhou, but can the money really be used on the people?
Kapok is not optimistic.

Kapok also left Pan's house.

Pan Fangfei still wanted to keep Kapok, but Kapok refused.

She really didn't have the heart to play around with Pan Fangfei, she was pretending to be a person, and she couldn't calm down for a minute.

Mu Mian left Pan's house and went to Cai Shumin's place. Cai Shumin was too busy to see her, but at least someone sent a message to Mu Mian.

That person is Cai Shumin's most trusted document, and Kapok has seen it before.

He only heard him say: "Master asked the younger one to tell Ms. Kapok to cooperate and stay at home well, and don't come out if you can't come out in the near future."

what?
How could Cai Shumin say such a thing?

Mu Mian felt a thump in her heart. Could it be that, as she thought, the money was not used for disaster relief?
Kapok left in a hurry. In the past, she always went to see Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Chen, but she didn't go today. She subconsciously went to Mihang.

At the largest rice shop in the town, Kapok bought a lot of rice in one go.

Now the price of rice noodles is a bit higher than usual, but overall it is not too high. The kapok was packed and sent to Daluo Village, but halfway through the delivery, the food delivery person left and gave a lot of tips.

Although the people who delivered the food were strange, they didn't think too much about it. After all, kapok also gave a lot of rewards.

Kapok was bought after calculating the size of the space. Although her house is not big, she can still store a lot of food by squeezing it around. Now that Huainan is not flat, she must make preparations.

Put all the food into the space, pile up bags of rice grains in the living room, balcony, several rooms, including the bed in the master bedroom. Fortunately, the water in the space is continuously supplied, which saves her a lot of trouble .

In the days that followed, Kapok listened to Cai Shumin's words and never went out of the house once, but before that, Kapok still arranged several businesses of her own.

Guangming Pharmacy is in normal business, but she told Yan Yiming that if there is any trouble in the town, she will not hesitate to lose money to protect her own safety, and all profits are premised on their safety.

And his [-]-acre field is leased to farmers, so he doesn't need much management at ordinary times, and the home furnishing products he cooperates with Lu Huai are more troublesome.

A few days ago, Kapok designed some new products to be sent to the capital, but when the goods arrived at the dock, they were told that water transport would not be available for the time being.

Mu Mian had a bad instinct in her heart, but she subconsciously didn't guess in a worse direction.

After discussing with Manager Lu, she decided to temporarily suspend the development of new products.

Director Lu spoke to Mu Mian frowningly, and then left.

Naturally, Kapok couldn't spread Cai Shumin's words to the outside world at will, otherwise what would she become?

Eating and drinking at home, reading books, basking in the sun, in fact, this life is quite comfortable, but thinking about Li Changyuan who is traveling, Mu Mian always feels uneasy.

Until one day after winter, Kapok was eating hot pot with his family, when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

She quickly walked to the door and opened it, and saw that it was Yan Yiming and Old Doctor Yan who came together.

"Mumian, something serious happened." Yan Yiming's face was full of panic, and even the old doctor Yan beside him looked like the sky was about to fall.

"Brother Yan, old doctor Yan, please come in first." Mu Mian stepped aside and invited the two of them into the room. After a few people sat down, Mu Mian asked, "What's the matter? What happened to you at this time?" coming?"

Yan Yiming panted and said, "A few days ago, didn't you pay the disaster relief money to every merchant? Now there is news that the money is not used for disaster relief. Our Huainan Road is likely to be in chaos."

Kapok had guessed all these things in the early morning, and he didn't feel much after hearing it at this time, but knowing that things were developing in the direction he guessed, that feeling of powerlessness made people even more desperate.

Mu Mian is not desperate, but she is also worried. She originally planned to travel to the troubled times by herself, but now that she has a family background, she will be able to live better in this troubled world.

Thinking about the future, Mu Mian said: "Brother Yan, you should stay here and don't go to the town for now. The medicine hall doesn't need to open anymore, although the business of the medicine hall should be better than usual at this time, But I have no shortage of silver."

Yan Yiming originally thought that Mu Mian would be as frightened as everyone present when he heard the news, but he didn't expect that Mu Mian was as calm as if he had known the news in advance, which made him astonished.

Sure enough, he still underestimated Kapok, she was even better than he imagined.

"By the way, have you packed up your belongings and come here? If not, I'll go back to the town with you, pack up and come to Daluo Village." Mu Mian thought for a while, and then said, "Brother Yan, even if we really want to mess up, let's Daluo Village can't escape, but it's better than the town, at worst, we'll escape to the mountains and forests."

Yan Yiming's heart sank after hearing this. He is also a person who has read books, so he naturally understands a little bit. He said: "What kind of property can my grandpa and I have? That's why I came to see you tonight, but I I brought you back all the cash in the medicine hall."
