Song Mingtao was also panicked when Su Yue said this. "Girl, are you worrying too much? If the weather is hot and there is a shortage of water, we can just store more water. Why do we need to store so much food?"

Su Yue looked at Song Mingtao seriously and said, "Uncle Song, once the number of refugees increases, food will inevitably become scarce. Moreover, the current situation is unclear, so we must be fully prepared and not take chances."

After listening to Su Yue's words, Song Mingtao realized that Su Yue's considerations were not unreasonable.

He nodded slightly and said, "Miss, you are right. I will go and urge the buyer to sell the shop and farm as soon as possible and stock up more rice, flour, grain and oil."

Su Yue nodded, and then reminded: "And Uncle Song, after you finish your work, your family can move to Xiaohe Village.

Help Uncle Liu build that house quickly. I also need to build two more large glazed greenhouses and a few more reservoirs. It would be best if I could dig a well."

Song Mingtao was slightly stunned, then responded: "Don't worry, young lady, I will do it. But the construction of this glass greenhouse, reservoir, and well will probably take a lot of time and manpower and material resources."

Su Yue said without thinking, "The situation is unclear now. We must speed up the process, find more people, and complete it as soon as possible at any cost. Uncle Song, I'll leave this matter to you."

Song Mingtao nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, girl, I will do my best."

At this time, there was a noise outside, and Song Mingtao said, "Girl, maybe Liu Qiang and his men are here to deliver supplies."

When everyone walked out of the warehouse, they saw Liu Qiang, Liu Daxi, Liu Danan and a strange young man, pulling three full ox carts to the back alley.

When Liu Qiang saw Su Yue, he quickly stepped forward to greet her: "Girl, what a coincidence! I was thinking I might not meet you."

Su Yue nodded slightly: "The weather is hot, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Qiang waved his hand and said, "Miss, you are too kind. This is what we should do."

Then he pointed at the strange young man and introduced him, "Girl, this is Liu Hui, my nephew. His family is trustworthy and well-known in the village for being honest and hardworking. I saw that we have a lot of things to do now, so I brought him here to help."

Liu Hui saluted towards Su Yue shyly: "Hello, young lady."

At this time, Ren Dong also spoke up: "Miss, what my second uncle said is right. Brother Hui's family are all hardworking people in the village. You can use them with confidence."

When Liu Hui heard Rendong say this about himself, he couldn't help but smile shyly and his ears turned red.

Su Yue smiled and nodded. This boy could be so shy even when being praised by Ren Dong. He is such a simple boy.

"Okay, I can trust the person recommended by Uncle Liu."

Then she repeated to Liu Qiang what she had said to Song Mingtao. Liu Qiang also said he understood: "Don't worry, girl. I will do as you say."

Su Yue saw that she had almost finished explaining, so she said, "Okay, you guys unload the supplies first, and then get out of the way according to the old rules."

Upon hearing this, Song Mingtao, Liu Qiang and others immediately took action to start moving the supplies. As a strong man, Rendong felt sorry for her second uncle carrying sacks of goods to unload in such hot weather, so she also joined in to help unload the goods.

It must be said that with the help of the powerful King Rendong, the unloading speed was much faster. Soon, the supplies from the three ox carts were unloaded and neatly stacked in the warehouse.

After unloading the goods, Song Mingtao took Liu Qiang and others to the Broken Jade Pawnshop to have some tea and rest. Su Yue asked Rendong to close the shop, and she quickly put all the supplies into the space.

After Su Yue put away all the supplies, Nanny Yang opened the warehouse door. Su Yue breathed a deep breath after leaving the warehouse.

She felt that the temperature outside seemed to be even higher, which made her feel depressed and irritated.

"Mammy, Honeysuckle, do you feel like it's getting hotter?"

After wiping the sweat off her forehead, Honeysuckle said, "Yeah, it seems so. This weather is really weird. It feels like noon in June or July."

Seeing Su Yue frowning, Nanny Yang thought that Su Yue was still feeling unwell, so she said worriedly, "Miss, why don't we go back home quickly? I'm really worried that your body can't take it."

Su Yue originally planned to stroll around the ancient streets, but now she no longer has the interest to go shopping.

"Okay, let's go to the Broken Jade Pawn Shop first and ask Uncle Song to find us a carriage."

The three of them came to the Broken Jade Pawn Shop, where Song Mingtao and others were sitting inside drinking tea and resting. When they saw Su Yue and the others come in, they quickly stood up.

"Girl, have all the supplies been transported away?" Song Mingtao asked.

Su Yue nodded: "Well, the weather is really hot, I want to go back home first, please arrange a carriage to take me back.

Buy me a better carriage, simple on the outside but comfortable on the inside, and I'll come get it when the time comes."

Song Mingtao responded, "Don't worry, young lady. I will arrange a carriage right away and pick out a suitable one as soon as possible." After that, he told the waiter to arrange a carriage.

While waiting for the carriage, Su Yue once again urged Liu Qiang to tell Liu Shan to speed up the construction of the house.

Liu Qiang quickly responded: "Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely pass on my message. My elder brother is always reliable and will not let you down."

Soon, the carriage was arranged by the waiter. Song Mingtao said to Su Yue respectfully: "Miss, the carriage is ready and can take you back home."

Su Yue took Nanny Yang and Rendong onto the carriage, and Song Mingtao personally drove the carriage slowly forward.

The car was extremely stuffy. Su Yue took out the ice basin without saying a word, then opened the window and looked at the hot street outside.

There were still pedestrians on the street, but not many, and they were all sweating and walking in a hurry.

Su Yue looked for a while and then closed the car window, enjoying the coolness brought by the ice basin, which relieved her anxious heart.

The carriage moved slowly along the hot street, the sound of rolling wheels and the sound of horse hooves intertwined, and soon it arrived at the Shangshu Mansion.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Shangshu Mansion, and Song Mingtao said respectfully: "Miss, we have arrived."

Nanny Yang and Rendong got off the carriage first and saw one of the four first-class maids beside the old lady waiting anxiously at the side door.

Nanny Yang and Rendong looked at each other worriedly, and it was obvious that something bad was going to happen.

Su Yue then got off the carriage and saw the old lady's maid also frowned slightly.

Jasmine, whose face was flushed with heat, saw Su Yue and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "The eldest lady is finally back. The old lady invites you to come over."

Su Yue felt annoyed for a moment. To be honest, she didn't want to go back to the Su Mansion at all. If it weren't for the plans that hadn't been implemented yet, she really wanted to leave today and never come back.

"Got it. Lead the way."
