Lian Fang Qing and Lian Che cheered immediately upon hearing this. Lian Ze and the others laughed, feeling amused.

The two little guys had been wronged. No matter what the others said, they were Lian Fang Zhou’s brother and sister and so she would always feel distressed. Seeing that the two of them didn’t have any grievances and were busy jumping up and down, her heart felt relaxed.

The group rode out in the donkey cart. When they passed the warehouse compound, Lian Fang Zhou, Ah Jian, and the two children got out.

Since they had been so busy, none of them had had time to cook lunch. Lian Fang Zhou had asked Third Aunt to come over to Gu Shi in the morning and give the workers some money to solve the issue themselves.

Everyone was very willing.

Since lunch was finished and the work was completed a short time after, the workers had all left and gone home.

Only Gu Shi and his there assistants were left for the inspection.

Originally, Gu Shi had gone into the village to the Lian house, thinking that if Lian Fang Zhou was there, he could settle the bill and go home. However, seeing the excitement at the door of the Lian house, he quickly returned.

When they saw Lian Fang Zhou and the others walk in, Gu Shi and the other three men came forward with a sigh of relief. He smiled and said: “Miss Lian, Master Jian, you are finally here!”

“We’ve kept you waiting a long time!” Ah Jian said with a smile.

Lian Fang Zhou handed over a small basket with a lid in her hands and said smiling, “I’m afraid this will take a while so I brought a few pancakes. You can eat a few bites to fill your stomach first!”

“Thank you, Miss Lian! Miss Lian is so polite!” Gu Shi hurriedly took it with a smile. The small impatience in his heart disappeared and he felt two points of guilt.

“Miss Lian and Master Jian should go and look around; we will eat first! By the way, the extra materials were stacked in the room, as you instructed!” Gu Shi said.

Lian Fang Zhou nodded with a ‘hmm’ and walked east with Ah Jian, Lian Fang Qing, and Lian Che, intending to go look at the warehouse.

“You two look carefully! If you can find anything damaged or badly cleaned, let your sister know and you will receive a reward!” Ah Jian smiled.

“Really? Really?” Lian Fang Qing and Lian Che were obviously very interested in Ah Jian’s proposal.

“Yes!” Lian Fang Zhou glanced at Ah Jian, saying: “After a few days, it will be the new year. Before then, we will go to the city and buy new year goods. If you really find a problem, I will buy you all the new year gifts you want at that time!”

“Sister, you will take us into the city for fun! That’s great, I haven’t been to the city yet!” Lian Fang Qing clapped her hands and smiled crookedly.

Lian Che asked eagerly, “Sister, sister, if we don’t find any problems, will we still get a gift?”

This was a big problem and Lian Fang Qing suddenly came to the same realization, looking at Lian Fang Zhou nervously.

Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian laughed. This child was so young but so meticulous!

Lian Fang Zhou thought for a while and then smiled. She said: “Well, there are already some! This reward would be in addition to the new year’s gift!”

Lian Fang Qing and Lian Che cheered, relieved, and rushed forward happily as joyful children.

“Be careful!” Lian Fang Zhou smiled and shook her head from behind.

“Let’s take a look too!” She said to Ah Jian.

Ah Jian nodded. “Naturally, we should look. Although Boss Gu is a very serious and responsible person, we should be responsible for our own work.”

“That’s right!” Lian Fang Zhou smiled at him and the two of them also checked everywhere.

The entire courtyard was clean and tidy, no longer the messy and noisy place it had been before.

The surroundings were very quiet and as her eyes swept the area, Lian Fang Zhou felt a sense of solemnity.

It was hard to believe that this time next year, the area would be very lively!

The warehouse was the place that Lian Fang Zhou paid special attention to. When it was first build, he had focused on it the most and now that she was here, she observed it very carefully.

The warehouse was built almost three stories high and was made of brick. Except for the large double-opening iron doors, there were no windows other than a few small skylights almost at the ceiling.

She had designed this at the beginning. Since cotton would be piled here in the future, fire prevention was very important and all possibilities needed to be eliminated as much as possible.

If someone left a window open and a torch or lantern was thrown in, then everything would be lost.

Therefore, she had planned it very thoroughly.

When they came to the living area, both the large and the small houses and courtyards were neat and tidy. Lian Fang Qing and Lian Che were very curious at first, asking why they had built the houses, who were they for?”

When they heard that these would be the living area of the future stewards and workers, their little faces showed envy.

“They’re better than ours!”

“That’s right, it would be great if our house looked like this!”

“I think so too!”

Listening to their conversation, Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t laugh or cry.

Ah Jian smiled and said, “Your sister has made some money and she will build a new house next year! It will be much better than these!”

The two immediately turned to look at Lian Fang Zhou with excitement.

“Your brother Ah Jian is correct.” Lian Fang Zhou told them: “We will build a new house next year if we make money and it will be better than these one. So you have to be obedient, okay?”

“We will be good! We will listen to sister!” Lian Fang Qing and Lian Che nodded happily, looking forward to the grand house in the future. Their childish discussion made Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian laugh a lot.

After watching them for a while, the four came out. Lian Fang Zhou told them not to run around in the square while she and Ah Jian went to settle the bill with Gu Shi.

“Miss Lian, Master Jian, have you finished looking around? Don’t worry about the work, there will be nothing wrong with it!” Gu Shi and the three were sitting on the ground gossiping. Seeing them coming, he smiled and got up, patting his clothing.

“It is indeed done very well, and it is all according to my requirements! I have also counted the remaining material, there are no issues.” Lian Fang Zhou smiled and thanked him with a few words before saying with a smile: “Let’s settle the accounts. I will look everything over, if it is correct, I will pay the remaining balance to you.”

It was not convenient to entertain people at home so Lian Fang Zhou had never brought people back.

“Okay!” Gu Shi had been waiting for this. Listening to her, he could understand. He took out two papers, which were creased but not worn, and smiled: “This is where I have been keeping records, please take a look, Miss Lian and Master Jian.”

Ah Jian took it and read it silently from beginning to end.

The project was simple and did not involve much manpower or resources so the account was just a few ins and outs that could be settled easily.

Soon Ah Jian handed the papers to Lian Fang Zhou and smiled. “Boss Gu is correct; this should be the right amount.”
