If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

After everyone finished the discussion tonight, Meixiang stayed to talk with her mother for a while. The mother and daughter hadn't had a good talk for a few days because they were so busy.

"Sister Xiang'er," a voice suddenly came from the corner of the corridor. Meimei was startled for a moment and then quickly realized who the owner of the voice was.

"Brother Situ Shi, why don't you go to rest so late? Aren't you tired these days?" Meixiang looked up at Situ Yidong who walked out from the shadow of the corner. It seemed that this guy really liked to rescue people halfway.

Situ Yidong scratched his head and said shyly, "No, I'm going back to the barracks tomorrow, and I'm going to live in the barracks for the next few days."

Her ears unconsciously turned red as she said this, but it was too dark and the other party couldn't see it and missed it: "Sister Xiang'er, don't you have anything to say to me?"

"Ah!" Meixiang exclaimed in surprise, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Shi. Meixiang is very grateful. Now, go and have a rest. You will be busy tomorrow."

"You, you, are you done now? Don't you have anything else to say to me?" Situ Yidun started to throw a tantrum at his elders like a child who couldn't get a toy.

"That's all. Okay, go and have a rest." Meixiang's tone was like an elder comforting a sulky child.

"I'm not a child, I'm older than you, humph!"

Looking at someone who turned and left with an angry snort, Meixiang shook her head helplessly. This behavior was not mature in the eyes of her, a person who was in her teens but had a "thirty or forty-year-old" soul, but it was normal for a boy of only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Through the corridor, I saw the lights in Feng Yizhen, Chu Zeming and Doctor Wang's rooms were still on. "Heh," Meixiang smiled and shook her head, and continued to walk towards her room. There were still many things to do later.

The lights in the three of them's room were not turned off until very late that night. At the same time, several letters flew to Haoyue's capital and several other prefectures at the fastest speed.

The next day, Meixiang followed Chu Zeming and Feng Yizheng to the reception room of the government office very early. Situ Yidong left Liu Mansion and went to the military camp earlier than them, leaving everyone confused. They didn't know when this guy became so motivated.

At this time, Chen Da walked into the reception room with four large envelopes in his hands: "Miss, Sir, this is the information I found about Mr. Liu of Liu's Rice and Grain Store." Then he scratched his head and said carefully: "Well, Miss, I have successfully sent someone to investigate the other three owners."

Meixiang took the envelope handed over by Chen Da and praised him with admiration: "Chen Da, you don't have to be embarrassed. This is a very good job. Let Aunt Li give you a chicken drumstick tonight. Ha..."

At this time, Mei Ying walked in quickly from outside the door and bowed to report: "Miss, Sir, the owners of the four rice and grain stores in Liuzhou Prefecture have arrived."

Meixiang looked down at the envelope she had just received and said with a smile: "What a coincidence. I'll leave it to you two. Thank you for your hard work!" After that, she stood up and took Xiao San into the inner room behind the curtain.

Xiao San cleverly moved a chair and placed it at the same place as last time. Meixiang sat on the chair, paying attention to the movements outside while looking through the information in the envelope.

In the reception room, Feng Yizhen and Chu Zeming both stared at Meixiang as she walked towards the inner room, then turned their heads and looked at each other. Feng Yizhen smiled bitterly and said, "Please ask them to come in."

"Zhou from Zhou's Rice Store, Yang from Yang's Rice Store, Liu from Liu's Rice Store, and Zhang from Zhang's Rice Store pay their respects to the two adults," the four of them bowed and greeted Feng Yizheng and Chu Zeming who were sitting on their right sides after entering the door.

"No need to be so polite, please take a seat, my four masters."

Mr. Liu quietly raised his head and looked around. When he didn't see the person he was thinking about, his eyes flashed and he picked up the tea bowl in his hand.

Feng Yizhen saw the four of them sitting down opposite him and said, "Let me tell you about our plan first. If there is anything wrong or needs to be supplemented, we can improve it later."

Upon hearing this, the four of them put down the tea bowls in their hands, sat up straight and listened attentively to Feng Yizheng's speech.

"Since there are so many people and the amount needed is also large, we are going to use the form of exchange coupons. Now we just need to prepare the same amount of paper coupons according to the counted number and stamp them with the seals of your rice store and the government office respectively."

"At the appointed time, the family members of the soldiers should take this paper voucher with your rice store's seal to your store to collect the corresponding variety and quantity of rice. Within three days, you can take the collected rice vouchers to the government office to exchange for cash, or you can come back to exchange them all at once after the end of the period."

Feng Yizhen glanced at the four of them and added, "You can exchange the rice whenever it is convenient for you, but the quality and quantity of the rice must be guaranteed. The total amount required each day must be prepared in advance. We cannot allow the people to make a wasted trip if the rice cannot be exchanged on the same day. If good intentions lead to bad results, please tell us what happened."

"Everyone, take a look. Is there anything wrong or anything to add?"

The four bosses looked at each other, and finally, Boss Zhou spoke on behalf of the other. "Excuse me, sir, how long will this exchange take?"

"Based on the number of miles reported last time, you should calculate how long it will take to prepare. It should not exceed seven days. Do you think it will be difficult?" Chu Zeming slowly replied.

Zhou's rice and grain store has the largest number of stores. After carefully calculating, Zhou Dongjia lowered his head and felt that the problem was not serious, so he said, "Sir, I don't have any major problems here."

Chu Zeming nodded, then turned to look at the other three rice store owners. Seeing that they all shook their heads to indicate that there was no problem, he added, "Then I'll trouble you four to check the vouchers with the government office today, and we'll start the day after tomorrow. The government office will send someone to assist you in the exchange process over the next few days."

After the four of them nodded in agreement, Meiying took them to the household registration office and checked the voucher paper prepared in advance and stamped it with the seal of their rice store.

Meixiang came to the inner hall and handed the letter paper full of handwriting to Feng Yizheng who was sitting in the first seat on the right side. "Here, this is the information of the four bosses we investigated. Cousin Zhen and Brother Chu, take a look."

Then he said something inspired: "It's quite interesting. It's true that when God closes a window for you, he will open another door for you. Those who are not defeated by the hardships of life and dare to fight can achieve great things in their careers."

Feng Yizhen and Chu Zeming were puzzled when they heard this. They didn't know what could make the always positive and optimistic sister Xiang'er sigh like this. They became even more curious about the contents of the envelope in their hands.
