Facing Duan Xin's puzzled look, Lu Hui smiled bitterly, and then reported the whole story to him: "Master, I also questioned that the people below were too sloppy, and I went to check it myself, but according to the results of the investigation, the Bai family The girl grew up by the sea since she was a child, and she never left the fishing village. It was just a few months ago that Bai’s father, Bai Dingtao, went fishing and died under the sea. The idea of ​​making money, a poor family is now almost the richest man in the town..."

Duan Xin always wanted results, but Bo Beibei had too many secrets, so Lu Hui had to tell Duan Xin everything he found so that he could make up his mind.

Duan Xin thought for a while, then asked: "Brother Lu, I just want to know one thing, can you be sure that girl is not from the old man?"

"Miss Bai cannot belong to the old man!" Lu Hui was quite sure about this.

Miss Bai has never left the fishing village since she was a child, and it was accidental that she saved the young master at the seaside, and one's eyes cannot be deceived.

Bo Beibei rejected Duan Yixu, Lu Hui had already seen it, if she was the old man's person, she would have been attached to her long ago, as to whether she was playing hard to get, it was not in Lu Hui's consideration at all, because if the old man With such resources, they have already been used on Duan Xin.

Duan Xin pondered over Lu Hui's words for a while, and a flash of interest suddenly flashed in his eyes: "So, that girl still has a business mind?"

"That's not it!" Speaking of this, Lu Hui also found it inconceivable.

Duan Xin laughed: "No wonder Tong Yihu loves and hates this girl."

He had heard Tong Yihu mention this girl in front of him, but at the time he didn't know that this girl was his son's savior.

This girl is indeed capable of making Tong Yihu, who has been struggling in the mall for decades, deflated.

Leaving aside the relationship between this girl and her son, Duan Xin actually admires her quite a bit. Just saying that she can establish a long-term cooperation contract with several Hongfu restaurants is not something ordinary people can do, and her temper is neither arrogant nor impatient. It is also really rare, earning so much money without showing off, not extravagant.

Duan Xin feels a little regretful, it's a pity that this girl cast herself as the wrong daughter, otherwise she will definitely do something in the future.

"My lord, the most strange thing to me is that Miss Bai and her family are able to raise deep-sea fish in the shallow sea." Lu Hui was puzzled.

Let alone deep-sea fish, I have never heard of ordinary sea fish that can be artificially raised. This Bai girl is really silent, and she is a blockbuster. I don’t know where I learned these things?

"That's why I said this girl is very weird!" Duan Xin's eyes darkened, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

While the two were talking, the second housekeeper of the Duan Mansion hurried over from the other end of the corridor.

"Old Wang, have you settled them down?" Lu Hui asked. The second housekeeper of Duan's house is surnamed Wang, and his name is Xiu Lin. Both Duan Xin and Lu Hui are used to calling him Old Wang.

"Steward Lu, Tao Yue is determined to see the master." Old Wang answered Lu Hui's question, but looked at Duan Xin with a perplexed expression on his face.

Old Wang is also an old man next to Duan Xin, and he knows Duan Xin's mysterious relationship with the Northeast. At this time, Tao Yue thought that seeing his master would definitely not do anything good, but Tao Yue was too difficult to deal with, and he couldn't hold back.

Lu Hui looked cold, and said to Duan Xin: "Master, shall I go?"

Even if Tao Yue is the old man's confidant, a servant is a servant. It is his blessing that the master is willing to see him, and it is reasonable that he does not want to see him. What qualifications do he have to insist on seeing the master?

"Okay, you can go see him and see what kind of tricks the old man is trying to play?" Duan Xin's expression was gloomy.

Half an hour later, Lu Hui and Lao Wang came to the hall of the inner courtyard together.

Duan Xin was sipping tea, seeing that Lu Hui's expression was normal, but Old Wang's eyes were full of restrained anger, and he couldn't help asking, "What request does the old man make again?"

Over the years, he has been used to the old man taking whatever he wants. Who made him fall into the trap so naively and foolishly, and owe such a big debt of kindness?

"He asked the master to go back to the northeast after the Lantern Festival, saying that the clan's ancestral hall needs to be renovated, and he needs you to go back and preside over it." Old Wang said angrily.

It will take two or three months away from the Northeast, but the renovation of the ancestral hall will make the master waste half a year on the road. Do you really think the master is in a hurry?

"Give Tao Yue 2000 taels, just say it's a small favor of mine. If it's not enough, send someone a message, and I'll make up for the rest." Duan Xin took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. The money he has spent on the clan over the years can't even be counted by himself, and the 2000 taels is not bad.

"master……"

"Old Wang, just do as the master says." Lu Hui interrupted the old Wang.

Although Lao Wang was very angry at those people in the Northeast who were aggressive and didn't know how to restrain themselves, he didn't dare to disobey Duan Xinyi. Since the master and the housekeeper both said so, he could only follow the orders.

When Duan Yixu heard his servants say that the Northeast had sent him some jackets, he threw out two words: "Burn it!" Then he buried his head in the book as if nothing had happened. inside……

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when water and firewood are delivered by the seaside. Seeing her brother carrying a wooden bucket to go out, Bo Beibei took an empty bucket and chased him out: "Brother, I'll go with you."

"There are no tourists now, so you should take a good rest." Bai Manchuan said as he walked, but he didn't stop his sister from following.

When tourists come to the beach, he will go to the sea, and his sister will help with the family affairs, and Bai Manchuan is actually very distressed.

"Brother, I haven't done anything in the past few days during the Chinese New Year. I'm feeling flustered. It's good to go for a walk." Bo Beibei smiled.

"Then you are not willing to let your mother go out to visit?" Bai Manchuan said unhappily, obviously he did not want to go out, and said that he was too busy to panic.

Bo Beibei hooked her lips and didn't answer. The mother refused the marriage of the village head's wife's nephew for her, but it didn't mean she gave up the idea of ​​finding a marriage for her, and asked her to go out and face the eyes of those people. She would rather not go out.

The brothers and sisters saw the ox cart delivering water from a distance. They came late today, and the coachman was very kind, and specially left a few buckets of water for them, otherwise they might have to go to the town to fetch water by themselves.

"Brother, thank you very much." Man Chuan said with a smile.

"You're welcome, we are so familiar." The coachman also smiled.

Almost every time Bai Beibei and Man Chuan went to town to buy food, they would ride in his ox cart, and they would rent his cart when they came back, so they got to know each other well.

The boat was paying the water bill over there, and Bai Beibei caught a glimpse of the village head's wife carrying a cloth bag and her younger brother and daughter-in-law walking towards this side, and it seemed that they were planning to go back.
