Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband

Despite this, Ma Zhi still had some doubts and admiration in his heart.

He had seen many doctors, but compared with Mrs. Wu, he always felt that the latter was better in medical skills.

"When Mo Zhu comes back, immediately brew the medicine and give it to Steward Wang to take."

Ran He finished the arrangements and then went into the main hall with Wu Xu.

Aunt Ma warmly served them hot tea and brought out her homemade country snack - crispy fried beans.

"Auntie, please stop busying yourself and sit down and rest for a while."

Ran He considerately stopped Aunt Ma who wanted to go out to buy pastries for them.

"Mom, please sit down too."

Ma Zhi agreed, his tone revealing a hint of persistence that could not be refused.

Unable to resist the insistence of the two men, Aunt Ma knew that they must have something important to discuss, so she quietly retreated into the kitchen and left the main hall to the two distinguished guests.

"Ma Zhi, tell me in detail what happened that day."

Ran He's tone was calm and focused, as if he was just beginning a crucial process.

Although they had a general idea of ​​the situation from the guards, they still needed to hear the accounts of the eyewitnesses themselves in order to capture every subtle detail of the incident.

Without hesitation, Ma Zhi recounted the whole story. Although the content was almost the same as the information provided by the guards, it was undoubtedly more complete and detailed, like a painting that was meticulously depicted, with every detail coming to life.

"That's it."

There was an unbearable weight in Ma Zhi's words, as if those memories were weighing on his heart, forcing him to speak in an almost tragic manner.

Wu Xu's brows were filled with a sharp inquiry, and he continued to ask: "When those bandits first appeared, what was the first thing they said?"

Ma Zhi pondered for a moment, as if the words were still echoing in his ears, "They announced coldly: 'All the valuables, leave them to me.' There was no room for negotiation in their tone."

"How do you respond to such provocation?"

"Uncle Ma offered to pay those villains some money and asked them to leave, but unfortunately, they flatly refused. After the olive branch of peace was ruthlessly broken, the two sides soon fell into a fierce conflict. They rushed towards us with blades in hand. If we had not hired a bodyguard to accompany us this time, I am afraid we would not be able to escape unscathed and would have to end up at their mercy."

At this point, a hint of sadness flashed across Ma Zhi's eyes.

"You mentioned the escort?"

"Yes, ever since the last accident, Uncle Ma has never been able to let it go. Therefore, Third Uncle suggested that we go to the city to hire a professional escort to escort the goods. But who would have thought that even with the escort of the escort and the assistance of many able-bodied men in the village, we still couldn't resist the fierce attack of those bandits."

Ma Zhi's tone was filled with frustration and powerlessness that were difficult to conceal.

"How's the situation with the escort?"

"The loss was heavy, one person died heroically, and three people were seriously injured."

"Which escort agency is this team from?"

"Mighty Escort Agency."

After leaving the main hall, Wu Xu turned his head and gave an order in an unquestionable tone: "Go and check the details of that escort agency."

"As ordered."

As soon as Yan Ba ​​left, Yan Yi came in hastily, bringing new information: "Master, Yan Wu reported that according to his investigation, the bandits active in that area have never harassed the goods of Majia Village in the past."

Ran He and Wu Xu exchanged a meaningful look, which contained both a tacit understanding and a hint of excitement that the mystery was about to be solved.

"My intuition was correct. There is indeed someone behind the scenes manipulating this."

There was a hint of coldness in Ran He's voice, as if he had seen through the conspiracy behind it.

Wu Xu immediately gave instructions: "Make sure to thoroughly investigate all the details of the Zhiyun County Chamber of Commerce."

Yan Yi took the order and quickly disappeared into the night.

The Ran He couple temporarily lived in the village. They visited the families who had suffered misfortune one by one to express their condolences, and they also made a special trip to visit Ma Yongbo.

"Mr. Wu, Mrs. Wu, I am really sorry to trouble you with this matter. I have contacted several weaving workshops nearby. The quality of their fabrics is also good. I will let Ma Zhi take you to have a look tomorrow."

Ma Yongbo's words were full of sincerity and self-blame.

At this moment, Ma Yongbo not only did not evade responsibility, but handled a series of affairs in an orderly manner. Such a person is sincerely trustworthy and respectable.

Ran He waved his hand gently and said comfortingly: "This matter is not urgent. I happened to catch up with the village meeting today. Are you really going to give up like this?"

"You can see that most people in the village are scared and just want to live in peace. Even though we are unwilling to give up, without the support of the people, it is like a fire without firewood. It will not be able to grow no matter how hard it burns. What's more, we have to face the suppression of those large textile mills."

There was a hint of vicissitudes and fatigue in Ma Yongbo's voice. It goes without saying that he has been under a lot of pressure during this period.

"Wouldn't it be painful to give up like this?"

"What can I do if I don't let go?"

Ma Yongbo's tone was full of helplessness. "Without funds and manpower, we can't move forward. Perhaps this is our fate."

Ma Zhi wanted to say something several times, but was blocked by the cruel reality. The words seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them no matter what.

“If we provide you with funds and manpower, can you still revive your business?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Ma Zhi and Ma Yongbo looked at Ran He in surprise. Their eyes were full of dullness and disbelief. They seemed to be still digesting this sudden proposal and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.

Ma Zhi was the first to recover from his shock and asked excitedly, "Mrs. Wu, do you mean... are you willing to sponsor us?"

Ran He smiled and said, "That's right. I am willing to invest in setting up a weaving workshop and recruit a team of female workers. As long as you can manage it well and are capable of doing the job, we can start over."

Ma Zhi nodded hurriedly, with hope in his eyes, "Absolutely no problem!"

Ran He turned and looked at Ma Yongbo.

"Uncle, please say something."

Ma Zhi urged anxiously.

Compared to Ma Zhi's excitement, Ma Yongbo seemed unusually calm, "Mrs. Wu, are there any additional conditions?"

Although they were not close friends, Ma Yongbo trusted Ran He's character.

However, such a sudden change still made him feel a little unreal.

After all, there is no free lunch in this world.

"I don't have any special conditions. If there is any, it is that I hope you two can move to Lin'an County. I plan to set up a weaving workshop there."

"Moving to Lin'an?"

Ma Yongbo frowned slightly, "There aren't many people growing cotton and hemp in Lin'an."

Compared with the cotton, hemp, mulberry silk and other raw materials that are abundant within a hundred miles around Zhiyun County, Lin'an County does seem to be somewhat short of resources.
