The conversation ended on a sour note. Jiang Chuang walked out of the Xiangfu and stood at the door, looking at the vast sky. The weather was clear and bright, but his heart was clouded with gloom.

Even if ten thousand people disapproved of Yuan Buyu's actions, he wouldn't dare to gamble his mother's life.

Moreover, he didn't believe that he could stop Yuan Buyu single-handedly.

As he said, the two of them are already in the same boat. Besides following his orders, there is no way back for him, no retreat.

Jiang Zhuang's men followed up.

"Master Jiang, what did the Master Xiang say"

Jiang Chuang retracted his gaze from the azure sky. Such a beautiful view, he wondered if he'd ever have the chance to see it again.

"Notice: Starting tomorrow, all restaurants will gradually increase prices."

Yes!

...............

Since that date, prices in Beijing have been completely out of control. Ordinary people can no longer afford cheap food and vegetables, and the prices of all kinds of goods are rising.

Jiang Chuang's restaurant had sustained them for almost two months with low-priced dishes. After the price of vegetables recovered, those self-proclaimed thrifty people who thought they had gotten a good deal wanted to return to their old habits of buying groceries and cooking. But when they went out with money in hand, they found that they couldn't buy anything.

The number of vegetable vendors is decreasing, and vegetable prices are rising. The cost of cooking a meal has become almost as expensive as eating at a restaurant now.

As more and more people are unable to afford food, the world is facing chaos.

Fang Jinshu and Chang He have also been running around for the vegetable farm lately. Fortunately, their business started out on a high-end route, and the price of vegetables was set higher from the beginning. The chaos in Beijing's prices has not yet caused them too much loss.

The vegetables with minor blemishes, chosen from the Jinshiu Vegetable Farm, became a hot commodity. They didn't raise prices along with the trend, as Jinshiu Vegetable Farm has its own farm.

In order to provide more people with food, Chang He has sold a large quantity of vegetables to ordinary vegetable shops. However, facing the thousands upon thousands of people in the capital city, this amount of vegetables is still a drop in the bucket.

"My lady, why don't we purchase another farm and cultivate more fields"

Fang Jinshi shook her head. "There's no time, and with so many people in the capital, the vegetables from the land we've rented out simply won't be enough to feed everyone."

"What are we going to do" Changhe's face was etched with worry.

At present, only a few restaurants in the capital city are operating normally. Among them, Jinshu Cai Zhuang boasts the largest vegetable storage capacity.

The power of the people is terrifying. If you push them too far, these people might even resort to robbing vegetable farms in the middle of the night.

At that moment, suddenly a servant brought in a vegetable vendor, who was sweating profusely and looked terrified.

"Madam, the farmhand from the vegetable field requests an audience."

The long river nodded, allowing the men to enter. As soon as they entered, one of them plopped down on his knees and shouted, "It's bad!"

"Master Song, it's terrible! The vegetable stall in the east part of the city was robbed by the common people!"

Chang He's eyelids twitched nervously. He was worried about something happening, and he had just anticipated this kind of thing, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Is anyone hurt in the store" Fang Jinshu asked immediately.

The fellow was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected Madame Hou to be the first to ask about whether the common shop assistants were hurt, rather than how much the shop had lost.

The companion was deeply moved.

"Tell my lady that Manager Song always instructs us to put our own safety first in everything. When the people rushed in, the shop assistants immediately moved aside. Those people only came in to grab vegetables and eat them; they didn't hurt anyone."

"The most important thing is that no one was hurt. The capital will only become more chaotic in the coming days. These things were bound to happen eventually. It's not a big deal to lose some vegetables."

"You go back first and have everyone tidy up the shop. We'll close for the day and resume business tomorrow."

The companion was stunned.

The Chang He also had the same doubtful expression, "Madam, they've snatched all our wares. We plan to open again tomorrow, but we might be robbed and smashed."

It's not "won't," it's definitely.

Fang Jinshi stared fixedly at the long river and spoke.

"I know, so tomorrow we'll open for business, but we won't be selling vegetables. We'll have the shop assistants portion out all the vegetables into individual daily amounts for each person. We'll set up a table outside the vegetable stall and have the people line up."

"People who don't make trouble can get a free fruit and vegetable."

"Huh"

The Chang He was full of bewilderment, unable to fathom his wife's intentions.

“Why send food to the people proactively”

"If we want to cut our losses, we should just close the door for now."

Fāng Jǐnxiù countered, “Then how long do you think we should keep the door closed to end this farce”

Besides, the vegetable shop has closed down. What's to be done with all these vegetables that are still being produced Just let them rot in the ground

"This business of left and right can't be done anymore. Sending them to the people might temporarily delay things from getting worse."

Chang He seemed to understand, and nodded.

Okay, I'll take care of it right away.

At that time, Fang Jinxiu only felt that if the situation continued to worsen, the common people would become even more restless when they went hungry. This business wouldn't be sustainable in the long run, it was better to give them the flawed vegetables.

She didn't care about this loss, Jinshi Mountain Villa made money from the aristocrats.

Just consider it done.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional act of kindness would become the pillar that supports Fang Jinshu's life in the chaotic times to come.

The common people are not thugs. They have their own scales in their hearts. Whoever feeds them, they will remember who is good to them.

In the end, Jinxiu Vegetable Shop became the only shop in the city where all stores were preserved intact and suffered the least damage.

Many rioting citizens in the city couldn't find food. Hunger ignites the beast within a person, escalating hatred. With just a little provocation from someone in the crowd, they transform their fear of starvation into hatred for those in power and the wealthy.

Those merchants and nobles who used to bully the common people in the capital became the first targets of their anger.

Their country house on the outskirts of Beijing and their shops in the city were ransacked and destroyed, resulting in heavy losses, even affecting their families.

It wasn't until then that Chang He realized how important it was that his wife had been the first to show kindness to the people. Those rioting peasants hadn't come anywhere near Jinxiu Manor.

Chang He was just about to go out with the clerk when Fang Jinxiu suddenly remembered Yu Lian and called him back.

"Chang He, do you know what Yu Lian has been up to recently"

Changhe was taken aback, his wife had asked Yu Lian the same way last time.

"Miss Yulian, it's been a long time since I last saw her."

"By the way, last time I saw Miss Yulian wearing men's clothing and going out with that Xixia male slave you bought." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"You said he went out with the masked man"

The masked man she had bought back from the mountain lodge wouldn't say a word no matter what Fang Jinshi asked him. Thinking she wouldn't need him for now, she gave him to Chang He, asking him to do some odd jobs around the mansion and keep him fed.

How could he have run to Yulian's side

Chang He replied, "It was likely that the servants in the mansion bullied the man wearing a mask and Miss Yu Lian happened to witness it. Perhaps she brought the man to her side at that time."

"Madam, does something about this man seem off Could he be a threat to Miss Yu Lian's safety"

"I'm not sure," Fang Jinshu shook her head.r-in-law, just acting, but it had been so long, Brother Zong Hu's injuries were still so serious.This is still Zong Hu's appearance after taking medicine to treat his wound. It's hard to imagine what...
