Transmigrated as a Stepmother: Time to Bring the Family to Prosper!-Chapter 253 - 252: The Results Are Out
First, it can provide additional income for villagers who own horses and carts.
Second, the future shipments of Divine Power Book Box will need to be delivered by their own factory to the dock for the Fulong Trading Company.
If that’s the case, establishing this transport team in advance will ensure better cost efficiency and safety in the future.
Besides that, there are many conveniences, and the more you think about it, the better it seems.
Qin Yao clapped her hands on the table: "Let’s settle it this way!"
Manager Fang was stunned, is this even possible?
After repeatedly confirming Qin Yao’s intention to organize the transport team herself, Manager Fang reluctantly agreed to Qin Yao’s proposal.
Because it would also be more convenient for his lumber business.
However, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, as if Qin Yao was getting all the benefits, it felt odd.
After reaching an agreement, later in the afternoon, Qin Yao followed Manager Fang to their warehouse outside the city to inspect the quality of the lumber. After both parties confirmed everything was correct, they signed the contract, registered it with the government office, and completed all necessary procedures duly.
Finally, they paid the deposit and arranged for personnel to assist in the delivery.
Two days later, Qin Yao received a letter from the Liu Family Village sent through the hands of someone from the escort agency.
The letter was written in the handwriting of the village chief, with the content dictated by Liu the carpenter. The opening sections were filled with his excitement about this major business deal.
He then informed Qin Yao that he had already received the silver she sent, and by the time she received the letter, the villagers of Liu Family Village were on the way to expand the factory.
The letter Qin Yao sent included a draft construction plan for the factory. Liu the carpenter mentioned that he, along with core members like Yun Niang, Liu Qi, Shunzi, Liu Bai, and others, would analyze the actual land conditions in the village to implement her factory plan.
He also assured Qin Yao to stay in the Prefecture with peace of mind, as he would focus all his efforts on receiving the lumber and purchasing production tools.
The final part, written by the village chief, expressed gratitude to Qin Yao for bringing such an opportunity to Liu Family Village. He promised to encourage all villagers to actively cooperate for the community’s prosperity.
He assured Qin Yao not to worry, and that he would accompany her to the government office to handle the factory registration when the time came, all just waiting for her to return to the village.
In the end, there was a line of scribbled words.
[Da Lang, Second Lang, Sanlang, Si Niang, bring some delicious treats for me and Jinhua, Da Mao. I haven’t said a word to the teacher]
The signature read ’Liu Jinbao’ in large characters.
Qin Yao’s lips curled up, "Liu Jinbao, you rascal, you’re really a clever one."
She then showed the letter to Da Lang and his siblings.
Second Lang immediately snorted, "Threatening us, he’s blatantly threatening us!"
Si Niang rummaged through her little cloth bag, "But I’ve already bought some trinkets for Sister Jin Hua and Da Mao, planning to give them."
Da Lang patted his sister’s little head, "It’s fine, let Second Lang buy some pastries as well, they’ll have both food and fun, they couldn’t be happier."
Sanlang chuckled, "Second brother, I want something delicious too!"
Second Lang gave him an eye roll, "You’ve been eating and drinking everywhere these days, are you a pig that hasn’t eaten enough yet?"
"No..." Sanlang twisted his fingers, looking at Second Lang, said shyly: "I am a pig."
Second Lang nearly burst out laughing, looking up at the sky to hold it in for a while, then reluctantly agreed, "Fine, spend all your pocket money, but don’t come crying to me asking why I didn’t buy you delicious food."
Sanlang only heard the first part and immediately beamed with joy, rushing forward to hug his second brother, expressing his happiness.
Second Lang avoided him disdainfully, and seeing Sanlang persist in clinging, quickly ran off.
Sanlang thought his brother was playing with him, happily chased after, while Da Lang and Si Niang stood as pillars letting them run around.
The room quickly turned into a joyful mess, full of laughter and chaos.
Unluckily, Liu Li happened to pass by the door, and upon seeing this scene, slipped away without a word, running faster than a rabbit.
"What happened to him?" Qin Yao curiously raised an eyebrow.
Liu Ji, while deftly stitching a cloth bag for carrying food, answered with schadenfreude, "Perhaps he’s scared of taking care of children."
After all, these days when going out, he always took Liu Li and Da Zhuang along, letting them experience the ’joy’ of having four children at once.
Qin Yao raised an eyebrow, finding it quite interesting.
She then continued to write the production plan for the Liu Family Village stationery factory, accustomed to turning the noise behind her into background music that didn’t reach her ears.
...
On the hottest day in the Prefecture, the exam results were announced.
Liu Ji was so excited that he couldn’t sleep the night before, and on the day the results were posted, he rushed toward the government office with dark circles under his eyes.
Da Lang and his siblings crazily followed their father as they ran all the way to the government office.
Only Qin Yao was leisurely at the back, eating a freshly baked warm meat pie, strolling along casually.
Because there was no way Liu Ji could pass unless the examiner was blind.
Liu Li and Da Zhuang had arrived even earlier, successfully squeezing to the front row, just waiting for the government to post the results so they could see them at a glance.
Seeing Qin Yao and her family of six, Da Zhuang excitedly waved at them, "Over here, over here!"
They had saved a spot for them.
Liu Ji squeezed in with his kids, beaming at Da Zhuang, "Is it out yet?"
Da Zhuang shook his head, "Not yet, but it should be soon."
Liu Li glanced toward the gate of the government office, spotting an official carrying the results list along with a bucket of glue, he shouted excitedly:
"It’s here, it’s here, it’s here!"
Qin Yao clapped the crumbs off her hands, nonchalantly wiped her hands clean with a cloth, like a tree rooted deep in the ground, unmoved by the jostling crowd, keeping the four children safe and sound under the list.
Liu Ji wasn’t idle either, scolding anyone trying to push, warning them against causing trouble and paying up for any injuries to the kids.
In just a short while, everyone present was well aware of this family’s toughness, and intentionally steered clear.
The officials surrounded the entire wall where the results were posted. Only after the list was fully put up did they step back.
As soon as they left, the crowd surged forward to check the list. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
To avoid confusion, the shortlisted people’s information was listed very clearly, including their place of origin, household members, parents, spouses, to ensure no mistaken identity due to same names.
Si Niang was lifted onto Liu Ji’s neck, her little hand pointing out names line by line, first excitedly exclaiming, then lowering her head disappointedly sighing at her father.
"It’s Uncle Li!" Da Lang also saw the list starting with Kaiyang County, Jinshi Town, Liu Family Village.
He instinctively thought it was his own father, like Si Niang, but actually, it was Liu Li’s name.
Liu Li hadn’t seen it yet, and upon hearing the news, was overjoyed but unsure, quickly going with Da Zhuang to confirm under the list.
"Young master, it’s you!" Da Zhuang exclaimed joyfully.
Such sounds echoed one after another around the area, as those who made it were thrilled.
Qin Yao counted the rankings, the first place under the first class was written as Qi Xian, followed by names she didn’t recognize, and on the third place of the second class, she saw the name Ding Shi. However, the crowd was too large, and she didn’t have a chance to congratulate him in person.
