THE FIERCE FARM GIRL HAS A SECRET SPACE

722: Chapter 722: Annoying Things (3)_1 722: Chapter 722: Annoying Things (3)_1 Once such a thought emerged, it could not be suppressed anymore, and Yang Ruxin suddenly felt fortunate that she had decisively bought a store in the county town. That large store was quite suitable for a self-service supermarket of sorts. Though the county town had shops selling sundries from all over, competition bred improvement. With some new management concepts, she should be able to do quite well.

Of course, she would need to communicate with Prince Eight about this, to have him help find some local specialties to stock in the store. Besides that, she needed a capable and reliable shopkeeper.

"Xinxin, you've bought back so many animals all at once; have you chosen the people to take care of them?" Old Yang felt compelled to remind Yang Ruxin, breaking into her train of thoughts, "And, the amount of feed required each day isn't small..." "I was thinking of asking Uncle Kuang to help look after the livestock; he's quite familiar with their habits..." Yang Ruxin thought for a moment, "Also, the caravan needs personnel. Each carriage has to have at least two people, so it would be good if each household could spare someone. That way, they'll all have the opportunity to earn money...

I've already decided on a few and have asked them; they are willing. For the rest, could the village chief help find them? We need those who are willing to endure hardships..." As she spoke, she took out the list she had recorded. "Alright." Old Yang did not demur, "Once I've settled it, I'll tell you." Leaving the village chief's house, Yang Ruxin felt very pleased. Her commercial empire was slowly taking shape, and she was another step closer to her goal of becoming the richest person in the Great Xuan Dynasty...

Next, she planned to delegate the shrimp paste business to someone else, as she would no longer handle it personally. After all, there was much to do. As for who to entrust it to, that required some consideration; there was no need to rush. Looking up at the early sky, she decided to visit her villa construction site to check on the progress. The work wasn't moving slowly; she estimated that within five or six days, the framework would be up, which meant they could probably celebrate the New Year in their new house.

The route from the village chief's house was a bit far, requiring a detour around Xiaocang River and a turn along the riverbank; the stretch was quite secluded. Usually, no one came around; there were a few abandoned courtyards, as well as piles of rubble. Ordinary folk would be scared to walk here alone, but Yang Ruxin was brave and not at all frightened. Even the scenery on the river surface felt rather pleasant to her. Xiaolun even scurried down her wrist for a stroll, nabbing a couple of bird eggs before returning. However, she hadn't walked far when she suddenly heard a strange noise.

At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, but the noise quickly grew louder, and then it suddenly stopped. Yang Ruxin frowned; that sound seemed so... With that thought, she walked over to investigate. Indeed, behind a dilapidated low wall, there were two people. To be precise, a man was pressing down on a woman, attempting to commit such a vile act. However, the woman was resisting fiercely, so the man had not succeeded yet. The noise just now was made by the woman, but her cries were quickly muffled by the man, silencing her.

Yang Ruxin's brow furrowed instantly; she hated such incidents the most. She stepped forward, grabbed the man, and flung him aside. Then she turned to the disheveled girl: "Are you alright?"
