The Shen family is very rich and cannot be said to be stingy, but they are definitely not generous. Especially when it comes to doing good things for others, they are indeed not generous.

Although the climate in Jiangzhou is good, natural disasters are inevitable, such as severe drought and no harvest for two years.

At this time, many wealthy businessmen and officials will use their money to provide disaster relief, giving porridge and medicine to the people who lack food and clothing at home, sending doctors and firewood to help them tide over the difficulties.

This is of course not necessary, but generally speaking, anyone who has the ability will contribute.

After all, Jiangzhou is so big when you come here. No matter what business you do, you have to rely on your fellow villagers. It is useful to exchange money for a good reputation, and it will be beneficial in the long run.

Besides, not only can you get a good reputation among the people, but it is also a way to please others.

For example, when a disaster strikes, Governor Xia calls on everyone to contribute if they have money and if they have the ability. As a businessman making a living in Jiangzhou, if you want to do business in Jiangzhou in the future, can you not give this face?

Of course, this is a voluntary matter. If you don't give it, the government won't come to snatch it. But in your heart, it is inevitable that you don't have a small notebook to record it. If something happens in the future, do you still want to please?

That would be difficult.

The Shen family is one of the stingy ones in Jiangzhou City.

It's not that they don't happen at all, but every time something happens, it's all about saving face, but the wife of the Shen family is the biological sister of Governor Xia's wife.

Blood is thicker than water, this is a very close relationship, so it is hard for others to say anything, not even Governor Xia, nor Mrs. Xia.

With these details, everyone was so shocked when the Shen family sent five thousand taels of silver and offered to take care of the funeral arrangements for those poor children.

Governor Xia really wanted to frame these five thousand taels of silver so that he could appreciate them every day.

Of course, I dare not say this suggestion out loud. If I say it, I will definitely be beaten by my wife.

Xia Yue was very proud, what is this called? It means that evil people will have their own troubles.

Of course, he didn't dare to speak out. If he spoke out, he might be beaten.

But Xia Yue laughed and said, "Father, mother, let me tell you, Caitang has methods and abilities. Don't look at her background. There are also playboys in Tianhuang nobles, and there are also outstanding people in ordinary families."

Mrs. Shen nodded: "Well, yes, this girl is very interesting. Although it is not a popular method, it is a method that works."

No matter what the countertop is, there are already enough things on the Xia family's countertop, and they are all far away from the capital, so there is no need to live tensely day by day.

The so-called family does not stay in the same house. Xia Yue's parents didn't deal with it too much back then. They happily packed up and moved the family out of the capital and came to Jiangzhou because they were tired of the rigid worldliness. Now they are free and living in Jiangzhou.

How cool and unrestrained are these days when God is the biggest and I am the second.

Before Xia Yue wanted to go to the capital, they were very conflicted. It would be impossible to object. It would also be inappropriate for you to blindly refuse the emperor's kindness.

But I agree, my son is now at an age where he is about to start a family, and his parents are not interested in him at all. They are not sure whether Xia Yue has the idea of ​​​​looking for a rich and powerful daughter in the capital. If he does, it will be troublesome.

Which daughter is willing to leave her hometown and father to live in Jiangzhou? Who is willing to leave her husband's family in the capital to be lonely and powerless? You can't say for sure. For this marriage, the whole family has to move back.

Go to the capital.

These two old bones are troublesome to think about.

But there is no need to worry now. With Ye Caitang's status and chic habits, he would not have such a request. Maybe the young couple would be more comfortable living in the capital by themselves.

Ye Caitang didn't know what an earth-shattering thing he had done unintentionally, nor did he know that Xia Yue's parents had put down a huge stone in their hearts.

Due to the rapid deployment of the blockade, Hua Po and her accomplices were arrested and brought to justice before they had time to run out of Jiangzhou.

After being arrested, several more people and an entire industrial chain were exposed.

It is absolutely impossible for an organization that has been operating for decades to make huge profits illegally. It is impossible for one person to start from hanging around among the ladies of Jiangzhou, find out who are extremely fanatical about boys, introduce business to them, and then take them to Granny Hua to arrange the delivery time.

.

Baby boys are hard to come by, so they cannot fully match the time of delivery for pregnant women.

Hua Po and the others would often rush pregnant women to come a few days in advance of the planned date. As a result, many babies were not carried to full term, which resulted in a greater mortality rate.

But they don't care. In their eyes, except money, everything else is nothing.

As for Shu Zhengqing's wife Ding Xiujun, it can't be described as a bad luck.

She originally went to discuss the date of delivery with Hua Po's accomplices, but she went there early, overheard their conversation, and found out about this shocking scam, so she was killed and silenced.

After the murder, the murderer kept doing nothing but not wanting to waste it, so he cut open Ding Xiujun's belly. However, Ding Xiujun was already eight months pregnant. Even if the mother died, the child would probably be alive after the operation.

So the murderer took away the child and placenta from Ding Xiujun's belly, entered the water and left.

Ye Caitang rested for two days and finally recovered. Listening to Xia Yue telling her the case, she felt very sad.

"What about the child in Ding Xiujun's belly?"

Xia Yue shook his head: "At first he was still breathing, but after a while he lost his breath and was thrown directly into the water."

Such a big little body has already sunk somewhere and has been eaten away by fish and shrimps.

Ye Caitang was silent for a long time: "Then is the Shen family involved in this matter?"

If there is involvement, it cannot be solved by sealing the store.

"Fortunately not." Xia Yue said: "pharmacies have their own purchasing channels. Zihe Che is indeed a common medicinal material, but because of the scarcity of sources, the price is high. The shop owner of the medicine shop thinks it is cheap, and buys it from Hua Po and the others without asking.

Where it comes from, the price is cheaper than on the market, and he makes the difference himself."

The Shen family was indeed innocent in this matter, but they were also jointly and severally responsible for poor supervision. Considering that the Shen family was very proactive in compensating the deceased, they only fined them a token amount of silver to settle the matter.

Overall, it can be considered a satisfactory solution.

"That's great." Ye Caitang teased the birds in the yard: "Come on, sing a song for me."

It's a pity that the bird is neither a parrot nor a myna. It can't speak or sing at all. I can only wonder where this stupid girl came from, so I rolled my eyes and turned around and pointed my butt towards Ye Caitang.

Ye Caitang felt that he could not lose face and was humiliated, so he turned to Xia Yue and said, "Come here, sing a song for the uncle."

You don't dare to turn around and point your butt towards me, do you?

Xia Yue sighed, and to the astonishment of the maids and servants in the yard, he dragged Ye Caitang away.
