“Do you really think I divined it? I came to the conclusion after investigating a lot of information,” Yu Peng explained with a smile.
“Huh? Is that possible?” Jiao Hang asked in surprise, “I read the information as well, so why didn’t I discover anything?”
“Look, didn’t a piece of news say that when a daughter-in-law of the Miao family went out to wash clothes, she vomited when she smelled the fishy smell of the river? Others laughed at her and said that she might be pregnant. But as soon as this was said, everyone laughed and said that other people might get pregnant, but it was definitely impossible for the Miao family’s daughter-in-law to get pregnant!” Yu Peng mentioned one of the pieces of news.
Jiao Hang recalled carefully and said, “There seems to be such a piece of news!”
Yu Peng smiled at Jiao Hang and said, “There’s also another piece of news. When the Miao family’s daughter-in-law was farming, she suddenly felt that her mouth was dry, so she picked a green orange at the side and ate it. Oranges in this season haven’t ripened yet, so they’re very sour, but the Miao family’s daughter-in-law didn’t taste the sourness when she ate it and even ate three in a row!”
This time, Jiao Hang had nothing to say.
Jiao Hang asked another question, “What about the last family? Why did you say that karma will come for those who bullied them, while those who helped them in the past will be rewarded?”
“I saw someone in White Foothill City previously. It was obvious that this person was an official. I paid attention and realized that the person who came was actually the mayor of White Foothill City. Most importantly, the mayor of White Foothill City resembles the woman from that family a lot!” Yu Peng said with a smile.
When Jiao Hang heard this, he was stunned for a moment before he thought of a possibility.
“You mean that the mayor of White Foothill City is related to this woman?” “That’s right! I’ve asked around. This woman used to tell people that her hometown suffered a calamity one year and she escaped here. Then, she married someone here and settled down. She also has a younger brother, but he got lost halfway and was never found again! From the looks of White
Foothill City’s mayor, he’s probably a few years younger than this woman!” Yu Peng explained.
“But the mayor of White Foothill City might not know that his sister is in this village!” Jiao Hang thought of another problem.
Yu Peng rolled his eyes at Jiao Hang and said, “Are you stupid?! If he doesn’t know, can’t we get someone to send him a message?” When Jiao Hang heard this, he immediately laughed.
“That’s a good solution!”
With that, they both laughed heartily.
Li Xiaoran was about to make chive dumplings when she heard the two of them laughing so happily, so she asked curiously.
“What are you two so happy about? Tell us so we can all be happy together.”
When Jiao Hang saw Li Xiaoran, he immediately told her what they had done today, including what he had said just now.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she gave the two of them a thumbs up!
“The two of you are very impressive! Mr. Luo was wise to leave this matter to you two!”
“You’re the one who recommended us to Mr. Luo!” Yu Peng thanked her.
“That depends on the two of you having the ability! Don’t worry, as long as you work hard and are capable, Mr. Luo will see your efforts!” Li Xiaoran said.
Yu Peng and Jiao Hang nodded, indicating that they would definitely do their best.
After Li Xiaoran returned, she remembered this matter and told Luo Cheng when he returned.
Of course, in addition to praising Yu Peng and Jiao Hang for their wit and ability, Li Xiaoran emphasized the relationship between the mayor of White Foothill City and the orphan and widow in the village.
Li Xiaoran said, “I’ve heard about that family in the past when I was cooking sliced noodles in the shop! I’ve also seen that woman and child. Although they aren’t well-off, they’re well-mannered. Husband, do you know this new mayor of White Foothill City? If your relationship with him is good, send a letter over and let the siblings reunite!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately laughed.
“The new mayor of White Foothill City is called Jian Zhou. He’s a righteous person, but he’s not pedantic. He’s someone Old Master trusts very much. He’s the most suitable candidate for becoming the mayor of White Foothill City. In the future, I’ll be able to save myself a lot of trouble! This person is capable, shrewd, and flexible, but he has his own principles. He’s worth befriending!” “Then do you need us to send this news over?” Li Xiaoran asked.
“Of course I do. No matter what, it can be considered a favor! I’ll let Yu Peng and Jiao Hang make a trip tomorrow! Anyway, according to their plan, after confirming things with the orphan and widow, they’ll firmly believe what Yu Peng said about the three families. At that time, our plan to build a food street can continue!” Luo Cheng said with a smile, “Speaking of which, we’re really lucky!”
“That’s right. Who knew that letting Yu Peng and Jiao Hang deal with the three families would unintentionally help us?!” Li Xiaoran smiled when she thought of this.
The next morning, Yu Peng and Jiao Hang received Luo Cheng’s instructions to go straight to White Foothill City to look for the mayor and tell him about the orphan and widow in the village.
Although this arrangement was a little different from their previous plans, it didn’t affect them that much, so the two of them immediately made a trip.
On White Foothill City’s side, Luo Han had just handed over all the mayor’s affairs to Jian Zhou.
In order not to affect the normal operations of White Foothill City, Luo stayed for a few days. He only planned to leave when Jian Zhou got the hang of things.
As soon as he bade farewell to Jian Zhou, someone came in to spread the news that Luo Cheng’s subordinates, Yu Peng and Jiao Hang, had been ordered to send a message to Jian Zhou.
Jian Zhou didn’t know Luo Cheng, and Luo Han happened to be around, so Jian Zhou invited him over to take a look.
Luo Han naturally knew Yu Peng and Jiao Hang. When he saw the two of them, he asked with a smile, “When are you guys going back? I’ll go back with you guys!”
“We’ll leave after we finish what Mr. Luo instructed! Young Master Luo, please wait a moment!” Yu Peng explained with a smile.
“Alright, alright, alright. Do what Mr. Luo instructed first! Do you guys need me to leave?” Luo Han asked..
