Chapter 655 Plan Implementation

Ling Silang assured, "Father, don't worry, I won't neglect my studies, and I will definitely find a position."

"Okay, okay," Ling's father said twice.

At this point, everyone dispersed. After Du Mingxian and Ling Silang returned to their room, the two went into the spatial dimension together.

Du Mingxian was about to start revising the project proposal when Ling Silang said, "It's already late. Why don't you rest first? There's no rush with the project proposal. We can go to the shop to take measurements tomorrow and then make the new renovation plans for the restaurant."

"Since my second brother is free now, let him take people to do the renovations. Once it's done, we can prepare to open for business. We'll open the restaurant first, and then do other things."

"Okay, that's settled then. We'll talk about other things once we get the measurements." Du Mingxian put down what she was holding, intending to wait for the measurements before starting the design.

"Father, eldest brother, and second brother are going to the clan tomorrow. Some people will definitely come to our house to ask about us. Aren't you going to stay home and receive them?"

Ling Silang shook his head, "I haven't visited you since I came back. I'll bring some gifts tomorrow."

"Oh, there are some good things in the space. Pick some and take them over. It's been a long time since I've seen you, sir. It's time to go and give you a gift."

"it is good."

After the two discussed it, they rested. The next day, after eating, Ling Silang prepared things in his space.

Father Ling took Ling Dalang and Ling Erlang to the clan chief's house. Ling Silang left shortly after. A little while later, Uncle Ling came over and, finding Ling Silang missing, even stood at the door of Du Mingxian's room to ask him questions.

When will Silang return?

"Uncle, he went to visit the teacher, and I don't know when he will be back."

Uncle Ling looked worried, unsure when Ling Silang would return. He didn't ask any questions and turned to leave.

Seeing that something was amiss, Du Mingxian asked, "Uncle, is something the matter?"

“It’s nothing serious. I heard that your father took your eldest and second eldest brothers to the clan to borrow money from the clan members, so I came to ask.”

Yes, that's true.

Uncle Ling didn't know what to say for a moment. "You're busy, I'll go back now."

Uncle Ling left, and Du Mingxian noticed that he seemed to have something on his mind, but she didn't say anything. A little while later, Uncle Ling the Third came over and asked about the same thing, and then he left too.

It was almost noon and none of Ling's father and the others had returned, but Ling Silang returned first.

"My eldest uncle and third uncle both came, seemingly to see you. But when they heard you weren't here, they didn't say what they wanted to say and then left."

Ling Silang wasn't in a hurry at all. "It's alright. I'll go find them after we finish eating and see what's going on."

"Father, eldest brother, and second brother haven't come back yet either."

Ling Silang's expression turned serious. "Then I'll go take a look."

"Okay, be careful."

No one returned by the time they ate. Du Mingxian, with her child in tow, didn't go looking for them. She believed that Ling Silang could handle matters between men.

They only asked the mute woman to make some food and leave it out so that they could have a hot meal whenever they came back.

When Ling Silang returned, he also gave Du Mingxian the dimensions of the shop in the county. Du Mingxian took the dimensions and conceived how to decorate it in her room.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the men returned. Their faces were expressionless, but their entire bodies exuded exhaustion.

After washing their hands and finishing their meal, everyone went to Wang's room, where Liu and Xiao Zhou also came to listen.

Ling's father spoke first, "We went to the clan chief today to talk about borrowing money, but the clan chief hesitated and then called over the men who were in charge of each household."

“Everyone was a bit averse to lending money to our family. My eldest son, second son, and I were thinking of not lending it to them anymore, but then fourth son came and things took a turn for the better.”

“Some families were optimistic about Silang and were willing to lend some money to our family to pay off the debt. In the end, as things dragged on, except for a few households, everyone else lent money, some more and some less.”

“Those who are closely related to our family by blood basically borrowed more, while other families borrowed less. Your eldest uncle and your third uncle did not come.”

“When they had their troubles at home before, they sent a lot of money over. They didn’t come this time, so don’t blame them.”

“Father, what are you saying? We know that our eldest uncle and third uncle sent money to our family before, so why would we be angry because they didn’t lend us money this time? What kind of people do you take us for?” Ling Dalang spoke up. As the eldest son, he knew a lot about the family.

Just then, a knock came from outside, "Si Lang, Si Lang."

Upon hearing the voice of Uncle Ling, the group rushed out to open the door.

Du Mingxian and Xiao Zhoushi and the others did not go out. They knew that if there were any matters at home, they would be called in to discuss them. But Uncle Ling and Uncle Ling were different; they would not invite the women to listen.

Sure enough, after the people arrived, the men went to the main room to talk. After a while, they came out and Ling's father, along with Ling Dalang and the others, saw off Ling's eldest uncle and third uncle.

By the time the men returned, it was already very late.

Ling's father was a little tired. "You tell him, Si Lang."

"The money we brought back from the village today was all said to be a loan. There's an account book. My eldest uncle and third uncle know about this, but they didn't come over. They said they didn't want to give it to us under the guise of a loan."

“They came over just now to bring us money. They started bringing it after our family had that accident. They said it wasn’t a loan, it was a gift. The reason they brought it over at night instead of during the day was also because it was a gift, not a loan.”

After the matter was explained, Ling's father said, "That's how it is. I'll talk to the clan chief tomorrow about the borrowed account book. It's under the guise of doing business. Then the clan chief will ask everyone to see who disagrees. Those who disagree can take the money back directly. Those who are willing to keep it can take it with them to do business."

"Father, this is a good idea," Madam Zhou agreed. "But what if some families want to take some back and also want to invest some in business?"

"Then let's do it their way." Mr. Ling had no objections; after all, the business was guaranteed to make a profit.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Ling's father waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's settled then. You can all go back and rest. We can discuss anything else tomorrow."

"Dad, Third Brother is injured, and there are many things to do at home. Should we postpone the business for a couple more days? Let's also see how the villagers are doing before making a decision?" Du Mingxian suggested.

Mr. Ling agreed with Du Mingxian's words, "Okay, then let's do it your way."

After everyone left and returned to his room, Ling Silang said to Du Mingxian, "Today, my eldest uncle and third uncle came to my house after hearing the news. They were worried that the villagers would use this incident to threaten me in the future."

"Huh? I don't quite understand." Du Mingxian hadn't really thought about it for a moment.
