The recent rainy weather hasn't affected Lin's restaurant business, but Lin Wanyue's fortune-telling business is now closed.

There wasn't a single shelter under the trees to keep out the rain, and Lin Wanyue was worried about being struck by lightning, so she obediently stayed in the shop every day, occasionally helping to make skewers.

The shop is quite deep, but the storefront is rather small. The oven for selling roasted sweet potato skins already takes up more than half of the space, while the other half has been converted into a fruit salad area.

In this way, there was really no extra space for Lin Wanyue to tell fortunes for others.

Lin Wanyue had no choice but to suspend her business.

I can't let my daily earnings of a few dozen coins interfere with my family's affairs.

Nowadays, Lin's Restaurant can earn a lot of money in a day. When Xuefu was doing the accounts at night, she even said that she wanted to look around and see if she could buy a few more acres of land.

The few acres of land they owned had been rented out to villagers for cultivation. The villagers would deliver 100 jin of grain per acre every year, saving them the trouble of traveling back and forth.

Farming always yields a steady profit, so Xuefu saved up some money and wanted to buy more land.

However, unless a family encounters a natural disaster or man-made calamity, no one would sell their land casually.

Lin Wanyue didn't need to help with anything in the shop. Even small tasks that he could handle himself would be taken care of by Lin Zheyun and Lin Zihan.

Lin Wanyue could only sit on a small stool, holding a lotus leaf bowl, and eat the washed fruit on it with a small skewer.

The rain was pouring down outside.

"Brother Liu, what brings you here? Is something the matter?" Lin Weiming saw Young Master Liu walking over with an umbrella, his clothes soaked, and assumed something was wrong, so he quickly greeted him.

The rain was too heavy, making it inconvenient to come by carriage or horseback, so Young Master Liu walked over by himself.

Young Master Liu closed his umbrella and said with a smile, "Didn't I see Wanwan telling fortunes the other day? It just so happens that a friend of mine recently bought a house and wants to have someone check the feng shui, so I immediately thought of Wanwan. If Wanwan is willing to go and take a look, I'll take her there later."

Young Master Liu is adept at pleasing both sides in this kind of situation.

It can help friends and introduce business to Lin Wanyue, so why not?

"Wanwan, it's your decision." Lin Weiming always respected Lin Wanyue's opinion on such matters; as long as she was willing to go, he didn't care.

Making money is a small matter; the most important thing is that the child is happy.

"Wanwan, do you know anything about feng shui? If you want to go, I'll take you there in a bit." Young Master Liu squatted down in front of Lin Wanyue and asked with a smile.

Lin Wanyue was feeling so bored on this rainy day that she was practically turning into mold, but then she received a big order. She was so happy that she almost jumped for joy, but she maintained her composed image as a superior person.

Unfortunately, she's only a tiny little girl, far from being a "master" in the traditional sense.

"Yes." Lin Wanyue nodded.

Seeing how adorable she was, Young Master Liu was even more eager to tease her. He winked and said, "My friend is a wealthy man from the provincial capital."

The words "rich person" had already been automatically translated into "fat sheep" in Lin Wanyue's eyes.

Lin Wanyue couldn't help but laugh along.

"How about I go with you? Wanwan seems well-behaved, but she's quite stubborn. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle her by yourself." After thinking for a moment, Lin Weiming took off his apron and decided to go with Lin Wanyue.

Young Master Liu is not a bad person, but he is certainly not a smart one either.

If it's just Young Master Liu who gets scammed, the one who should be worried is Old Master Liu.

But Lin Weiming wouldn't feel at ease if he still had Lin Wanyue with him.

"Oh? Brother Lin, you're going too?" Young Master Liu asked worriedly, "But what about the business at the shop?"

"It's alright, I'm here with my wife. I can handle this little thing," Liu Junlan said, stepping forward.

"Me too! Dad, I can help too. I already know how to grill them." Lin Zheyun quickly ran out. He had been eager to try and help Lin Weiming grill sweet potato skins.

But Lin Weiming was worried that he would burn the food and waste it, so he wouldn't let him try.

Lin Zheyun was determined not to give up this rare opportunity.

Lin Weiming glanced at the sweet potato peel, thinking that although he didn't want to waste anything, his daughter was more important, so he nodded: "Okay, you stay in the shop and help Grandma, and also keep an eye on your brother."

"Dad, don't worry! I'll take care of everything." Lin Zheyun quickly assured him.

Lin Weiming, holding Lin Wanyue's hand and carrying an umbrella, followed behind Young Master Liu.

As they listened to Young Master Liu talk along the way, the two realized that this business deal was actually something Young Master Liu had forced upon them.

Although Young Master Liu was not good at business, he was often kicked out by his father. He made quite a few friends in the business world while taking his money with him.

This friend's name is Yan Dajiang. He used to run a tea business in the provincial capital and his family was quite wealthy.

Now, according to Young Master Liu, their county has well-developed water transport and a dock, which is faster than transporting goods in the provincial capital, and the labor costs for moving things are also cheaper.

Yan Dajiang was immediately intrigued and came over with two old servants to investigate.

Young Master Liu originally wanted Yan Dajiang to stay at his house temporarily, but unexpectedly Yan Dajiang was not used to it and insisted on buying his own house to live in.

Young Master Liu immediately thought of Lin Wanyue and quickly pulled her over.

"You must be Master Lin? I've heard so much about you! I've heard that you're a very capable person, and seeing you today, I can confirm it. You're truly remarkable, and you even take care of children, which shows you're a very thoughtful person." A short, balding middle-aged man immediately went up to Lin Weiming as soon as he saw him.
