Chapter 279: Now it’s hard to get off the tiger…

They are all very small, and they should be almost full grown by the end of the year.

She also doesn't have to feed the big fish for several years because she has lotus roots, which need to be dug up every year.

Erbao and Nanbao squatted beside and played with the fish fry in the bucket.

Jiang Chengshi helped to fish and said, "Zhu'er, can we eat all the fish we have? Fish have too many bones and are not as good as meat."

Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said, "Mom, it's delicious. Today I will make you a dish of pickled fish, hehe."

When Nanbao heard Jiang Lianzhu talking about food, she started drooling, "Okay, let's eat fish, eat fish!! Mommy's fish is delicious!!"

He turned around and said to the little fish in the bucket, "Grow up quickly, then we can eat fish every day."

At this time, Xue San suddenly stretched out his mouth to bite the bucket of fish fry, took a mouthful of fish fry, and ate them with a smacking sound.

Jiang Lianzhu shouted, "Nanbao, go and ask Xue San to go away. He ate more than a dozen fish in one mouth..." It was a waste of fish.

Xue San succeeded in stealing the food and ran away happily without anyone chasing him away.

While running, he suddenly stopped and roared towards the intersection.

Xue Da and Xue Er, who were shivering nearby, also stood up alertly, in a state of alert.

Someone is coming.

Jiang Lianzhu stopped what she was doing and looked in the direction she came from, ready for any unusual situation to happen at any time, and asked Nanbao to retreat behind her.

The person is getting closer.

An old acquaintance!

Nanbao was sharp-eyed and said with a smile, "It's Shopkeeper Lin, Grandpa Lin, Happy New Year..."

Shopkeeper Lin drove a light carriage straight to Jiang Lianzhu and tightened the reins. He looked unhappy and forced a smile when he heard Nanbao's greeting.

"Happy New Year to you, my dear little girls!"

When the three snow wolves saw their master greeting them, they all dispersed and went wherever they had fun.

The Jiang family members greeted him one by one. Shopkeeper Lin got off the carriage and took out a bag of fresh cakes. "Businesses in our town all open for business on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but you're the only one that's still closed today. So I came to see what's going on and to wish you a happy new year."

Jiang Lianzhu washed her hands and handed the remaining fish fry to Jiang Chengshi to release.

She took Shopkeeper Lin into the yard and said, "Let's talk inside."

This is obviously something wrong.

"Okay, you're moving into a new home, and I've never been here before. Today I'll take a look around your new house. It's so magnificent! The materials are solid, the house is square, and the design, the doors, the eaves—everything is beautiful and simple. If it had carvings, it wouldn't have this grand and simple style. This house is definitely suitable for supporting people..."

Shopkeeper Lin followed behind Jiang Lianzhu, praising her as he walked.

After entering the main hall of the first courtyard, Er Ya'niang and the others saw that there were guests in the yard, so they automatically avoided them and went into the side room where they lived.

Erya was diligent and served tea quickly, and then left quietly and tactfully.

Jiang Lianzhu asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Shopkeeper Lin then showed his anxiety. "Doctor Jiang, after the New Year, the young master of our Lin family came to Shamen County to relax. He has been staying in our Shili Town for the past few days. He said our Feng Shui is good and he especially loves our autumn pear paste. He wants to stay for a while, and we are very welcome..."

Jiang Lianzhu only knew that the Lin family was a big business family with branches everywhere, but she didn't have a detailed understanding of how big it was.

Shopkeeper Lin didn't say anything proactively, but just promised her that she could sell as much autumn pear paste as she could make.

"This is good news! Your family's eldest son is here to inspect our work. If you perform diligently and he reports back, he will definitely give you a promotion and a raise." Jiang Lianzhu joked.

Shopkeeper Lin's face suddenly turned worried. "We do welcome the young master, but, Doctor Jiang, you don't know that this young master is in poor health. He has had asthma since he was a child. When he gets excited, is allergic to smells, or does strenuous exercise, he will have an attack. In serious cases, he will go into shock and pretend to be dead. His life is in danger at any time. We are happy on the one hand, but also worried on the other! Doctor Jiang, I came here specifically to ask you if you have any treatment for asthma..."

Jiang Lianzhu smiled, "Manager Lin, you're acting without authorization. Did you kidnap your young master from your family and bring him to Shili Town specifically to see me for treatment? Now that he's here, you're asking me if I have a cure! If I don't have a cure, won't you send him back immediately?"

Shopkeeper Lin slapped himself in the face. "It's all my fault, my quick mouth! It was during the New Year's party when all the shopkeepers and branches got together. I got drunk and blurted out that there was a great doctor in Shili Town who had saved many lives, including hundreds of people from poisoned rice. I boasted a little too much, and that's how I provoked this bad-tempered and eccentric young master. Then I thought, our young master's illness has been seen by so many famous doctors in the capital, and none of them could cure him. If I had provoked him, wouldn't that have caused trouble for Doctor Jiang? Now we're in a difficult situation..."

Jiang Lianzhu knew that Shopkeeper Lin was a good person and someone worth making friends with.

When doing business, we always keep our promises, don't use tricks, and don't be greedy for small profits.

Every time my daughter went to his shop to play, he would give her pastries.

Nanbao also has a very good impression of him, Grandpa Lin is tall, Grandpa Lin is short.

This favor cannot be refused.

"Where are the others?"

Shopkeeper Lin said, "He's resting in the shop in town. He's doing fine and hasn't had any seizures, so we didn't bring him here. Our young master has a bad temper and doesn't like to communicate with others..."

Jiang Lianzhu expressed her understanding. She could understand that the patient had a somewhat eccentric temperament. Besides, the Lin family was wealthy and powerful, so it was understandable that he had a bit of a spoiled brat's temper.

"Then tell me about his condition and I'll see if I can cure it." Asthma can be divided into two aspects: congenital hereditary and acquired.

Congenital hereditary diseases are more difficult to cure.

"Our young master is twenty years old this year. He has been frail and sickly since childhood. The previous head of the family also suffered from asthma and died young. Our Lin family has only the young master as a legitimate male heir. He has two older sisters. The head of the family used to be very affectionate with his wife and did not take concubines. Therefore, the family is small. Fortunately, the wife and the young ladies are all capable people, the kind of elite women whose beauty can hold up half the sky. Now the wife is temporarily serving as the head of our Lin family. The young master's two legitimate sisters are still unmarried and have both found husbands at home. All business matters are handled by the wife and the young ladies. The young master only needs to take care of his health..."

Shopkeeper Lin told the story slowly and leisurely.

Jiang Lianzhu began to understand why Manager Lin was willing to do business with a woman like her. It turned out that the Lin family was run by women.
