Chapter 772: Starting a new journey ——2Su Wan did not want to leave anything for the last moment thus she continued to work hard, not only did she send the pigs that she have raised to the slaughterhouse, she asked Lin Yan to go and prepare some wicker cages for the hen and ducks that they were raising, she did not know the condition of the great ocean city but Lord Fang had told her that the city was not really developed, Su Wan really liked eating the fermented century eggs during her pregnancy her obsession with the century eggs got so worse that she did not want to eat anything other porridge and century eggs, if she did not get to eat them, Su Wan was worried that she will not be able to eat anything!

Which was why she needed to make sure that egg-laying hen and ducks went with them as for the other things she will think of something else. Su Wan continued to work hard during the rest of the week while ushering her husbands to make sure that they did not leave any strings unattached, just in case something happened behind their backs.

Even though she was sure that the original Su Wan will be busy with the troublemakers that she had sent her way, who knows what might happen when she left her shops unattended? Even the farm of melons was left in the hands of the Feng brothers by Lin Yu who told them that they will be sharing the profits with them at a forty-sixty ratio, the Feng brothers were in charge of harvesting the melons once they were ripe while Madam Zhang and Lin Zi were in charge of selling them in the new shop that Su Wan had bought only for selling fruits that she was growing in her farms.

The money will be left with Lin Zi who suggested staying behind and taking care of the shops, she even asked Su Wan to leave a few guards behind such that she will be able to contact her in the case of an emergency.

Just like this, the day of departure came and Su Wan who was working in the yard packing all the jerky that she had dried sighed as Lin Yan wiped the sweat off her forehead.

” I can do the rest, go and take some rest,” he told her as he looked at the jerky that was yet to be packed.

“It’s all right,” Su Wan shook her head as she picked up another porcelain vase and then started stuffing the jerky inside while telling Lin Yan to continue making more dry food to be carried along on the journey. ” We still have an hour before we depart, go and make some more sauce and dry food. Try to pack some more dried squid just as I taught you, I think we can still bring some with us.”

Seeing that she was not tired Lin Yan did as his wife told him, together the two of them packed as much dried food as they could and then cleaned up the yard nicely.

Lin Chen who was in charge of putting all the luggage in the carriage took the dried food from Lin Yan and placed them all in the carriage that was half stuffed with nothing but food, behind him Old Madam Shen was looking at her crying daughters in law and had no idea what to say to them,

” All right, all right, why are you crying so much? Aren’t I and Wan Wan only going for a trip why do you have to cry so much? It is like you are sending me off!” Old Madam Shen scolded her daughters in law who sniffled before her eldest daughter-in-law remarked,

” But we will miss Wan Wan giving birth!”

The three madams of the Shen family wanted to leave with Old Madam Shen as well but they needed to take care of their families and with Shen Junxi going with Old Madam Shen, Eldest Madam Shen could not even think of leaving the slaughterhouse unattended, even though her two sons were with her, they were still too inexperienced and could not be left alone for more than a month.

The journey to the great ocean city was already long and including the time to raise the lifestyle of the residents of that place who knows how long it will take?

Thus, one of the two had to stay behind.

Eldest Madam Shen in the end could only look at her mother-in-law and asked, ” Mother, shall I come with you too?”

” Do you want me to stay behind and watch the pigs and hens getting slaughtered then?” Old Madam Shen asked with a frown as she glared at her Eldest daughter-in-law. ” I am more experienced than you three when it comes to taking care of pregnant women don’t forget that when you three were acting like headless flies I was the one who helped you three give birth safely, without me what do you think you can even do?”

It was not that Old Madam Shen was being selfish but she really could not trust her granddaughter with these three daughters-in-law of hers, they were useless when they were taking care of themselves who knows how they will take care of Su Wan?

” Eldest uncle you are coming too?” Su Wan asked her eldest uncle, earlier it was decided that only Old Madam Shen will be coming but now Shen Junxi was following them too.

Shen Junxi nodded his head before replying, ” I think that one of us brothers need to follow you, second and third brother cannot come because they both are on a trip, with me going with you, I am sure everyone can rest at ease.”

What Shen Junxi did not tell Su Wan was that he had been asking around the town and his friends about the great ocean city and the things that he found out were not pretty at all, from the looks of it the great ocean city was a place where thieves and bandits thrived in the surrounding, how could he be at ease leaving his niece who was carrying a child alone there?
