The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 328 Promise
Soon, Wu Ping and his four companions arrived.

They stayed here for two days with good food and drink, but they didn't dare to relax for a moment, always worrying that someone might suddenly come and take them away.

But after two days, there was no movement. Wu Ping breathed a sigh of relief, sure that he had not found the wrong person.

On this side, Wu Ping, who was invited by Shi Liu, also had anticipation in his eyes. Did Miss Shi Liu think it through and make a decision?
Is she willing to help them?
Whether he is willing to help or not, he will remember the two days of sheltering him.

"Miss Pomegranate." Wu Ping and others bowed to greet her.

"Are you getting used to living here these past two days?" Shi Liu asked with a smile.

Wu Ping said: "I'm used to living here. Miss, you are so thoughtful. We are really grateful."

Shi Liu nodded slightly, but changed the subject, "Since it is a habit, why not invite the three warriors down with you? It is freezing cold in the mountains."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ping and the others' expressions suddenly changed.

They thought they were hiding, but they had already been discovered.

Wu Ping also reacted quickly, blushing as he said, "It's us who are mean-spirited. It's really a blood feud. The whole village was wiped out, and there are only seven of us left. We dare not be careless, so we have to make extra preparations. Please forgive us, young lady, we have no other thoughts."

After hearing what he said, Shi Liu could understand it to some extent. It didn't matter if it was not intentional or had some other purpose.

If it were her, she might have done the same as him.

But she was desperate and trusted others too much. If she really had bad intentions, the last torch of Wujia Village would be gone!

Shi Liu was filled with emotion and said, "I have sent people to Xiangning County to verify what Wu Zhuangshi said. I am willing to trust Wu Zhuangshi once. I will do my best to help you. If you trust me, you don't have to be on guard. Please come in and settle down with your three companions."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ping was secretly impressed. It turned out that Miss Pomegranate did not agree immediately that day but instead persuaded them to stay. She did not believe their one-sided words and immediately sent people to Xiangning County.

If what they said was false, then what was waiting for them now would not be a face-to-face conversation.

They will not trust others easily, but once they have confirmed the truth, they are willing to help. How dare the people fight against the officials when they can just stand by and watch.

Miss Pomegranate is such a rare kindhearted person with a sense of justice, which makes him admire her!
Wu Ping was extremely moved, and an impulse was rising in his heart, but he finally held it back.

He cupped his hands and said solemnly and respectfully: "Thank you Miss Pomegranate for your help! No matter what the outcome, Miss Pomegranate is the great benefactor of the seven of us brothers. In this life or the next, we will serve you like a slave!"

Shi Liu said, "Mr. Wu, you are too polite. Corrupt officials and bullies who harm the people for their own selfish interests are shameful and should be punished. I believe that no kind-hearted person will sit idly by. I will leave for the city tomorrow morning. You should settle down for the time being and do not act rashly. Wait for my news."

Wu Ping was overjoyed when he heard this and was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He immediately knelt down and said everything.

After this conversation, Wu Jin took Liang Zheng to the hillside in the north of the village and brought Wu San and the other two in.

The seven people reunited after being separated for two days. Although they had food during these two days, the five or three of them were so cold that they warmed themselves by the fire, changed into thick cotton clothes, and rubbed their hands together in comfort. If they had endured for another two days, they would have been frozen to death.

But Wu Cheng was suspicious by nature because of the fear he had experienced along the way. Seeing that no one was around, he couldn't help but wonder, "Will Miss Pomegranate really help us? The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. Are we walking into a trap? Otherwise, should we find a way to escape tonight?"

Wu San already knew what happened in the past two days. Hearing this, he said, "Whether they are really helping us or not, we have no choice but to believe them. Besides, do you think we can get away?"

Every move of the seven of them is now on someone else's territory, and there is nothing they can do except to trust.

"I believe in Miss Pomegranate." Wu Ping was inexplicably confident. He himself couldn't explain it. It was just their first meeting and they were not familiar with each other. How could he be sure that she would go all out to help them? But for some reason, he just believed it.

"No need to run, let's just wait patiently. If it comes to the end, I'll accept it!"

-

Early in the morning on the fourth day of the New Year, Shi Liu got on a carriage and took Hu Zhen and Liang Zheng out, leaving Zuo Cheng at home just in case.

Originally, she was supposed to go to the Ding family to pay New Year's greetings today, but because she had to go to the provincial capital, she could not go. Shi Liu asked her second brother Li Rongyu to go on her behalf to explain things to her adoptive father, and then she would go to the Ding family later.

The carriage was moving fast and we arrived at Dafengji Wharf. It was still early, so we boarded the passenger ship bound for the provincial capital. We waited for a while before the ship started and left the ferry.

The ship set off early, and docked at Luochuan Wharf at around 3 p.m. The passengers whose destination was the prefectural city got off the ship one by one. The ship had to pick up passengers from the prefectural city who were going to the provincial capital before it left and continued on its way.

Shi Liu was now a wealthy man, and he took the boat and the carriage as well, so he didn't have to rent a car when he arrived in the city.

After getting off the boat, Hu Zhen drove his carriage into the street and headed straight for Lihua Hutong.

The house in Lihua Hutong is where Shi Liulai lives when he comes to the city. The carpenters of Tongwanzhai live in the front house, and the back house is taken care of by Huang Zhong's family of four. It is also clean and can be lived in at any time.

Seeing that their master had arrived today, Huang Zhong's family came forward to pay their respects with great trepidation, and then went to buy some vegetables and prepare dinner.

In this house, it's different when the master comes and when he doesn't.

After sitting on the boat for most of the day, Shi Liu was very tired. She first asked Hu Zhen to go to Liu's house to deliver the visiting card. Then she washed up, changed her clothes, rested, had dinner, and went to bed early.

He went to bed early and got up early. The next morning, after breakfast, Shi Liu went to Liu's house.

In this new year, Liu Dongjia, as the head of the Liu family who has already inherited the power and is about to take the official position, naturally has many social engagements and is too busy to spare time.

But after receiving the visiting card sent by Shi Liu, Liu Dongjia still took time out of this morning to entertain Shi Liu.

Therefore, when Shi Liu arrived at the Liu family, she was directly invited into the Rong Tao Courtyard of the third room, where she met the boss Liu who had been waiting for her.

Liang was there, of course. After a few greetings, she took Shi Liu's hand cordially and said with a smile, "I've always thought of you. You're busy, so it's hard for me to see you. Your sister Fu is getting married in March, so you must come!"

Pomegranate quickly responded: "It will definitely come!"

The Sister Fu that Liang mentioned is Liu Fu, the eldest daughter of Liu Dongjia and Liang. Liu Dongjia has four children in total, and there is a son and a daughter who are still young.

Shi Liu had a close cooperation with Liu Dongjia, and the two families visited each other frequently, so she naturally became familiar with Liu Dongjia's children.

As Liang's partner, she naturally knew how much her husband valued Shi Liu, so she would not treat Shi Liu poorly.

After some greetings, the atmosphere was very good.

Shi Liu then changed the subject and mentioned that she wanted to talk to Liu Dongjia alone about something.

Liang didn't think much about it. She stood up slowly and left on the pretext of watching the kitchen arrange the dishes.

Mr. Liu invited Shi Liu to his study for a detailed discussion.
