"Zhongyi is right, old man, you still have to come along!"

"Once we've gotten to know the town better, we can change the person then!"

She hadn't paid attention to this before, but since Lin Xue pointed it out, the old lady Lin immediately realized it.

It wasn't just women and children who went to eat; there were also quite a few able-bodied men.

If they try to renege on their debt, what can she and her eldest daughter-in-law, two women, do to fight back?

"The second brother is right, I was too attached to appearances!"

Old Man Lin finally understood after Lin Xue's prompting.

His family business definitely needed a man to keep things in order, so he still had to go along.

"I'm going back to the academy tomorrow, so I'll leave this household business to you two. And please don't always bring my sister-in-law along; try bringing my sister-in-law around sometimes too!"

After explaining everything, Lin Xue returned to her room.

He hadn't finished writing half of his sketchbook yet, and he needed to hurry up and finish it while he still had the time to earn some money.

He didn't give the five taels of silver he earned last time to his family.

Now that the family has a way to make money, he has other uses for those five taels of silver.

Time flies, and soon it was the busy farming season.

Even though they were busy in the fields, the Lin family didn't give up their business in town.

However, now Old Man Lin can no longer go to town to watch over things; it's Old Woman Lin who takes turns selling cold noodles and liangpi (cold skin noodles) with one of her daughters-in-law.

I originally thought that fewer people would buy their food during the busy farming season, but I didn't expect that people would buy even more because of their fatigue from the busy farming season.
