But at this moment, he couldn't show it in front of Manager Zhang.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, so he pretended to be mysterious and answered, "This is something my father accidentally found in his early years. It is called a mirror, just like our bronze mirrors. It is used by women to dress up."

Shopkeeper Zhang didn't think much about it.

Before he asked Lin Heng to be the accountant, he also investigated him. He only knew that his family had settled in Zhaojia Village more than 20 years ago.

Now that I think about it, their ancestors must have been wealthy.

What a pity, what a pity~~~~

However, this kid took out all the precious things from the bottom of his box, which seemed to indicate that he was really in trouble.

So he opened his mouth to test: "You, you just showed me this thing? You should know that if this thing is appreciated by some dignitaries, it will have a bright future!"

Lin Heng answered without thinking: "Look at what you said, I only know you, you are my benefactor."

"Okay, kid, just because of what you said, I will help you with anything you need."

"I told you, you're the right person to come to."

"Okay, stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me what's the matter that requires you to bring out such a good thing?"

"You reminded me this morning about the pass."

"Hey, I thought it was something, it's not a big deal, you can do it yourself, then I can't take this thing."

As Shopkeeper Zhang said this, he was about to return the mirror in his hand to Lin Heng.

Lin Heng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Boss, please don't be anxious. I just want to apply for a lot of travel permits."

"Oh? How many do you want to do?"

"I just want to get a pass for my father-in-law and my younger sister's family. There are more than 20 people here, big and small. I don't know anyone else, so you're the only one who can help me."

Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned for a moment, then patted Lin Heng's arm.

"You are a sentimental person, boy."

Then he took something out of his pocket.

"Okay, I'll help you with this. I won't take advantage of you. Here's five hundred taels of silver, that's all I have.

You can use it to buy more food, and better yet, a carriage. If you really want to leave, there are so many elderly people and children, and it is impossible to rely solely on manpower."

Lin Heng only knew that the shopkeeper was kind, but he never expected that he could give him a banknote.

After some pushing and shoving, Lin Heng had no choice but to accept the silver note given by Manager Zhang, and the two agreed to come back in five days to get the pass.

Lin Heng returned the favor by telling Manager Zhang what he had heard at the noodle stall so that he could also have an idea of what was going on.

He also left all their names and information to Shopkeeper Zhang.

Lin Heng thought about it and felt that Manager Zhang was right. If they really had to flee the famine, they would be able to walk, but his mother and two children would not be able to.

So he went to the cattle market again and finally bought a mule.

Horses are delicate and difficult to raise.

The horses of the rich families eat better than what they eat.

Besides, for a farmer like them, having a horse-drawn carriage would be too conspicuous.

It’s better to keep a low profile.

If Lin Ke were in this situation, she would know that her cheap dad had the same idea as her, which was to lie low and develop in a sneaky way.
