Wei Ruo explained, “Firstly, I don’t like dishonesty. This man deliberately deceived me from the start, which has already cost him my trust. Secondly, his identity is still unclear. Considering he was badly injured, he is bound to have some troubles. I don’t want to get involved in problematic matters, so I need to keep my distance from him.”
Manager Yu understood, “The master’s words are reasonable, I get it.”
“You go ahead with your work; this afternoon, Meimei and I will look for another suitable site for the brewery.”
“Yes.”
After Manager Yu left, Wei Ruo and Xiumei went out again.
This was because in a few days when Mr. Wang would return to Taizhou Prefecture, Wei Ruo would have less time each day.
Moreover, she would also need to allocate more time to manage the farming work on her estate, therefore Wei Ruo decided not to delay, and continued to search for a new location for the brewery that afternoon.
After visiting for half a day, Wei Ruo chose a new site, which was not far from her hacienda. It was nearly an hour’s walk, but it would only take a mere span of tea-time by carriage.
The negotiation this time went smoothly. The villagers and the village head of Stone Village readily agreed to the terms Wei Ruo offered, and joyfully stated their intention to help.
Wei Ruo was also straightforward, promptly drafting a contract with them, and both sides signed and sealed it in the presence of the village mayor.

On the thirtieth day of the first lunar month.
Wei Yichen had to return to Anzhou Academy to study.
Under normal circumstances, the school would begin after the Lantern Festival, but this year was special, it didn’t formally start until after the New Year.
Before leaving home, Wei Yichen specifically looked for Wei Ruo.
“Eldest sister.”
Standing at the door of Tingsong Garden, Wei Yichen wore a gentle smile and gazed affectionately at Wei Ruo.
“Do you need something, elder brother?” Wei Ruo asked.
“Tomorrow morning, I would be leaving for the academy, so I came to bid farewell today.”
“Wait a moment, elder brother, I will get something for you.”
Without waiting for Wei Yichen to say more, Wei Ruo went back into the house and brought him some papers from Four Treasure House.
“These are for elder brother.” Wei Ruo thrust everything into Wei Yichen’s arms.
When Wei Yichen returned, he brought her many novel things. Even though she didn’t find much use for them, she didn’t intend to owe him for the sentiment.
Wei Yichen recognised at a glance that these were items from the Four Treasure House.
Items from the Four Treasure House were expensive due to limited supply and hard to buy. Even in the Anzhou Academy, their papers were highly sought after.
Holding the items, he thought for a bit then said to Wei Ruo, “Ruoruo, I know you have a lot of silver, but you should save some. When you get married in the future, this silver would be part of your dowry.”
“Are you afraid that I will spend all my silver, elder brother?” Wei Ruo asked.
“Yes. Goods from the Four Treasure House are expensive. Although you currently have money, and perhaps you are the wealthiest in the family, even richer than mother, you should still be frugal,” said Wei Yichen.
Wei Ruo was slightly taken aback, then replied, “I understand.”
“Good. Anyway, thank you for your gift Ruoruo, these are things that I exactly need,” Wei Yichen expressed his gratitude sincerely because this gift really hit the mark.
“Don’t mention it.”
