Unlimited Resources: Raising a Minister with a Space Supermarket-Chapter 474 - 428: The Purpose of the Visit (Part 2)
Anyway, once they reach Wei City, they will need to abandon the carriage and take a boat, so if they have too many things, it would be difficult to manage by manpower.
Yu Xiaolian had previously heard from Sun Mancang that Sun Manqing wouldn’t be going back with them, so she asked Sun Mansheng, "Why isn’t your big brother going with you?"
Sun Mansheng replied, "My big brother has taken a liking to Liu Erni from the Liu butcher family, so he doesn’t want to leave with us."
"Oh!" Yu Xiaolian exclaimed, indicating she understood.
After Sun Mansheng left, Yu Xiaolian glanced at Yu Zixuan and Su Jinghua, who were playing happily, and got up to find Su Jingchen.
According to plan, they ought to set off tomorrow, but considering the long distance and that it wouldn’t be easy to return soon, Su Jingchen suggested that Yu Xiaolian spend an extra day with her family.
"Xiaolian, come over here!" Yu Changhe suddenly called out mysteriously from around the corner of the hall, waving at Yu Xiaolian.
Yu Xiaolian raised an eyebrow, having already guessed what her father wanted to talk about.
Sure enough, Yu Changhe took Yu Xiaolian to the row of stone houses in the backyard and then said exactly what Yu Xiaolian expected.
"Though I know your grandparents have wronged us in the past, it’s been so many years now. As the younger generation, we shouldn’t hold a grudge against them forever. When you go back, find some time to visit River Bay and see if your grandparents are still around. If they’re alive, give them a hundred or two taels of silver. Our family has more money than we can spend now. No matter what they did wrong in the past, they are, after all, the ones who gave birth to and raised me. We won’t hold grudges against them. Lian’er, please, just do this for me?"
In fact, last night, Sun had already discussed this with Yu Xiaolian, indicating that she too had forgiven them and asked Yu Xiaolian to fulfill Yu Changhe’s filial duties.
Since both parents were of the same mind, Yu Xiaolian had no objections. Anyway, a hundred taels were a small amount for her now, and lending a helping hand to the Yu Family people wasn’t out of the question.
"Father, actually, you don’t need to hide this from my mother. She’s thought ahead of you and already told me to fulfill your filial duty." Yu Xiaolian said helplessly.
Yu Changhe was quite surprised, "Did your mother really say that?"
Back then, Sun had resolutely declared she’d sever ties with his parents. And now, she had forgiven them?
It seems time truly is a balm that heals all wounds!
"Yes!" Yu Xiaolian nodded. "My mother not only asked me to help my grandparents but also told me to help my uncle and third uncle."
"Sigh, who knows if they are alive or dead!" In fact, over the years, Yu Changhe had frequently inquired about the situation in Northern Land from merchants traveling back and forth.
After learning that all of Linzhou had suffered from a drought for three years followed by rampant plagues, resulting in extreme destitution and severe population loss, Yu Changhe was deeply worried.
And now his daughter was going to that destitute place; he couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Especially after his all-night conversation with Su Jingchen the previous evening, where he learned that remnants of the epidemic still lingered in Northern Land, Yu Changhe became even more restless.
"I’ve heard that epidemic in Northern Land is terrifying. It’s incurable and can be fatal. Once you arrive there, be sure to stay indoors and don’t have any contact with those who’ve contracted the plague."
Yu Xiaolian smiled, "Dad, the plague seems to be severe in Linzhou, but Yangcheng should be fine. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. Besides, I have antibiotics and other medications in my space. Rest assured, no harm will come to me."
"Right, about these medicines, you need to leave plenty for me. That mischievous Ziqian is always out fishing by the river with Ding Han and won’t listen. If he catches cold, those medicines you give him are the most effective."
"Got it, Dad. It’s not just medicines. I’ll go to the supermarket later and leave you plenty of other things as well.
The only thing is, once I leave, the skincare products at Zhenpin Pavilion will soon run out, and that’s not ideal. You need to select a reliable team to regularly transport goods from Northern Land." Like soap, I can leave quite a bit behind since it doesn’t spoil for years, but for things like shampoo, the packaging isn’t very airtight, and it only has a shelf life of a few months after being repackaged.
Yu Changhe pondered for a long moment, "Lian’er, in my opinion, if we run out of stock, then so be it. We still have the rouge workshop and the Music Workshop. In the winter, we can produce hot pot base and canned yellow peaches. If Zhenpin Pavilion really has nothing to sell, we can just sell the clothes made by the embroiderers, that’s fine too.
