Even so, the Lin family did not care.

There were even rumors that the Fourth Uncle Lin was preparing to build a wall. They would then stop Lin Dachui from coming to them.

When Lin Xiaoyue learned of this news, she only smiled faintly and did not continue to probe further.

“You haven’t gotten the jade pendant back yet?” She asked Zhao Shanshan.

Ever since she returned from the Lin family, Lin Xiaoyue had handed the matter of recovering the jade pendant to Zhao Shanshan.

However, two days had already passed, and there was still no news.

Zhao Shanshan froze. “Not yet.”

Then, without waiting for Lin Xiaoyue to ask for the details, she explained to her.

“Three days ago, Head Fang had already arranged for people to track the jade pendant. The day before yesterday, he found out that the jade pendant had already left Anyang County.”

“Now, the latest news is that the jade pendant has gone to the capital after several transactions.”

Lin Xiaoyue frowned.

Zhao Shanshan continued, “the background of Xuji Pawnshop is more complicated than we thought. After the shopkeeper received the jade pendant, he didn’t keep it in his hands. Instead, he quickly gave it away.”

“Madam’s jade pendant is precious. If they send it to the bustling capital, it will be easier to sell it at a high price.”

Lin Xiaoyue stretched out her hand and stopped Zhao Shanshan from continuing.

“Tell Head Fang to stop investigating.”

Zhao Shanshan was stunned.

“The situation in the capital is complicated. The Nangong Army has finally settled down in Qingshi Town with great difficulty. At this time, we can’t cause any more trouble.” Lin Xiaoyue explained.

Her mother’s jade pendant was important, but it was still an object.

Compared to the jade pendant, the Nangong Army was more important.

As for the jade pendant, she would continue the investigation later.

“Yes.” Zhao Shanshan replied.

Then, she left the room.

Three days later, Lin Xiaoyue went to the Zhou Manor.

At this time, the chilies in the field had already matured, and many of them had turned from green to red.

The soldiers who were tending to the chilies in the manor were all looking forward to Lin Xiaoyue’s order to start picking this year’s chilies.

After Lin Xiaoyue went to check on the situation, she personally led the Nangong Army to pick the chilies.

After that, she instructed someone to dry them.

As the chilies in the Zhou Manor began to be harvested, the chilies in the other manors were also ready.

Everyone is busy now.

Almost all of the Nangong Army had been mobilized, and most of them stayed in the fields to pick chilies. A small number of people were responsible for transportation and drying.

At the same time, the chili workshop in Daishi Village also started operating.

Since the spring cabbage had not grown yet, the workshop was mainly producing bean paste and chili sauce.

Many villagers of Daishi Village went to the workshop to apply for a job.

After recruiting 50 people, Zhou Shi stopped recruiting.

As a result, many people who went later did not get it, which was very regretful.

Even so, the villagers who did not apply were still full of expectations for the chili workshop.

This was because Zhou Shi had said that when the cabbages were ready, the workshop would continue to hire people. Moreover, there were many of them.

This was not limited to Daishi Village.

People in the surrounding villages and even in Qingshi Town heard the news.

There were even cases of villagers from the surrounding manors coming to apply for jobs in Daishi Village.

Unfortunately, Zhou Shi declined politely.

According to Lin Xiaoyue’s request, she told everyone that the villagers in Daishi Village would be given priority.

Because of this, the villagers of Daishi Village were proud to be villagers of Daishi Village.

Even the young men in the village had a better time looking for a wife.

The young ladies of the villages were now more willing to marry into Daishi Village.

Of course, this was all for later.

Apart from the workshops in Daishi Village, some of the small workshops that Lin Xiaoyue and Zhou Shi had built in the manor had also started work.

With the production of chilies, large amounts of chili sauce and bean paste were produced.

The workshop was quickly making money every day.

As the largest shareholder of the chili workshop, Lin Xiaoyue not only earned money from the chili products, but also from the raw materials, the workshop space, and labor.

The money in the Liu family’s account finally began to increase.

At the same time, the chain stores that had been built quickly also opened one after another.

This was because the chain stores in the same place were scheduled to open on the same day, and the opening activities were done together.

It received a huge response from the locals.

They received good reviews from the customers.

Under such circumstances, the business of the chain stores was booming in the following period of time..
