With her mother-in-law's support, Xuefu could be stingy with a clear conscience.

Lin Weiming: "..."

Fearing that his mother would sow discord between him and his wife, he secretly took Xuefu's hand and kissed it before leaving, saying, "Wife, how can you not believe me? I would never even glance at other women; you are the only one in my heart."

"Daddy, you're so shy~" Lin Wanyue, who looked like a little dumpling, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and ran her little finger across her face twice.

"Shame on you!" Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu popped their heads out, laughing and ruining their parents' mood.

Enraged, Lin Weiming tapped each of the kids on the head before carrying his pack and heading to the county town.

…

When they arrived in the county town, they didn't know where to find someone to work for. After thinking about it, they felt that the owner of the pharmacy was the most familiar to them.

Lin Weiming carried his bundle to the pharmacy and asked the owner where he could find good carpenters and bricklayers.

The pharmacy owner first confirmed that Lin Weiming hadn't brought Lin Wanyue with him before saying, "My family sells medicine, not builds houses. How would I know about this kind of thing?"

"But boss, you're a local after all, and you've lived here for so long. You should know where to find them, right? Just let me know, and I won't trouble you. If I find any more herbs in the future, I'll send them over." Lin Weiming's attitude was still very sincere.

"..." The pharmacy owner, thinking about how he had made some money from the last sale of Ganoderma lucidum, said, "My house was also built by someone else, and I'm not really familiar with these things. How about this, I'll send someone out to inquire for you?"

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, boss!"

Lin Weiming rested for a while in front of the pharmacy owner's door. Unexpectedly, before the boy he had sent out to inquire had returned, he ran into an acquaintance.

Young Master Liu jumped down from the carriage and said excitedly, "Hey Brother Lin, what are you doing here? I was just planning to go to your house in a couple of days."

"I came to the county town on some business. You wanted to see me?" Lin Weiming saw that it was Young Master Liu. The two were quite familiar with each other, so he spoke more casually.

"Wow!" Young Master Liu patted Lin Weiming on the shoulder, his face beaming with the joy of "I know amazing people, and I'm amazing too": "Brother Lin, I inquired about it the other day, and that kid Zhongyuan is really capable. He actually got first place in our county!"

"Really? There were so many people that day. I was outside and only saw his name. I didn't even notice what number he was." Lin Weiming scratched his head with joy, his face beaming.

I never expected that my son would actually get first place!

"Brother Lin, what are you doing in town today?" Young Master Liu asked curiously.

The pharmacy owner had overheard their conversation and was astonished that the countryman's son had actually ranked first in the county.

Well... you really do have some skill!

"They bought a house in the county town so that their son could study at the county academy. They just asked me to find a bricklayer and a carpenter," the pharmacy owner said to Young Master Liu.

Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows; he had no idea that the Lin family had already bought a house in the county town.

"Brother Lin, why didn't you tell me you were buying a house?" Young Master Liu's tone was somewhat disappointed.

Lin Weiming felt a little guilty and explained, "I already troubled your family a lot when I came to the county town for the exam last time. I came to buy a house a couple of days ago, originally wanting to look at some more options..."

"But I finally found a suitable one, and I was afraid someone else would buy it, so I bought it quickly. I only bought it two days ago. It's not that I didn't want to tell you, it's just that I didn't want to ask until I found a suitable one."

"No, Brother Lin, you're being too polite! My mother and my sister's lives were saved by Wanwan, and I treat Wanwan like my own sister! From now on, just treat me like your own brother and don't be so formal with me!" Young Master Liu sighed and said.

Lin Weiming: "..."

No, I'm a little confused about the generational hierarchy.

Should each side have its own interpretation?

He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding; he who takes another's money is obligated to do his bidding.

The Liu family had given so many things that Lin Weiming felt a little shortchanged, but he still tactfully reminded them, "Young Master Liu, if you're going to be so polite, then I'll call you 'brother,' but Wanwan can only be your niece."

"It's all the same!" Young Master Liu said with a hearty smile. He then inquired about the Lin family's house purchase and learned that Lin Weiming had just bought the house and needed to renovate it before moving in. He immediately patted his chest and said, "Why do you need to ask anyone about this? Just leave it to me. In less than half a month, I can get that house all set up for you. I have plenty of furniture and stuff!"

"Furniture costs a lot of money, so I brought some with me." Lin Weiming couldn't refuse Young Master Liu, so he could only take out the money and hand it over to him first.

But Young Master Liu refused to accept his money, and his fat, strong hand pushed the money bag back.

"You don't know this yet? The carpenter from Young Master Liu's family is famous in our county. If he wants to help you, you can rest assured," the pharmacy owner chimed in from the side.

Young Master Liu insisted on refusing the money, but Lin Weiming was also stubborn: "Brother Liu, if you insist on this, then I really dare not let you help my family."

"This..." Young Master Liu had no choice but to say, "How about this, I won't take this money now. Once the house is finished and you are satisfied, I will ask you for the money."

This was a good idea, and Lin Weiming didn't have much to say, so he nodded in agreement.

With Liu Dashao's help, Lin Weiming no longer needed to bother asking around. He carried his bag and went home that afternoon.

There's a lot of farm work to do at home, so he has to hurry home to get it done and not miss the farming season.

Planting in spring must be done according to the agricultural season.

"Why are you back so early?" Liu Junlan was working in the field with her grandsons when she saw Lin Weiming, who had changed into shorts and was carrying a hoe, come over.

Lin Wanyue and the others felt sorry for their grandmother. The three younger ones couldn't do heavy work, but they could still help carry some seeds.

They were also surprised to see their father come back so early.

Lin Weiming recounted his encounter with Young Master Liu, and also praised Lin Zhongyuan, saying, "You're really capable, kid, you actually got first place."

"That's right!" No matter how composed Lin Zhongyuan usually was, like a little adult, he couldn't help but smile proudly at this moment.

Liu Junlan said, "The Liu family is really good. They are very sincere towards our family. We should visit them more often when we go to the county town in the future."

Lin Wanyue held a basket of peanut seeds, picked up a seed with her finger and placed it in the dug hole, while the twin brothers busied themselves filling the hole with soil using hoes.

As Lin Wanyue planted the seeds, she thought about that rich but foolish young master Liu, who was actually quite honest.

Although it was just a favor to the Liu family, they not only provided money and materials, but also never missed any holidays or festivals.

Since his family is not short of money.

Then I should prepare a talisman for him to ward off bad luck.
