Chapter 59: Caught by Misunderstanding

"How about the Cai family kid? Although working on the boat is hard and the pay is low, it is better than doing nothing at home. These months are the rainiest season on our island. Don't you want to have a stable house?"

Cai Shuyuan gritted his teeth when he heard this.

He thought that he dreamed of having a nice house to live in.

But he didn't want to work.

He was a scholar, born noble, and if he had not been implicated by his relatives, he could have achieved great things.

Cai Shuyuan was arrogant and proud. He felt that he had already been wronged by being able to lower his head to teach those little kids in the village. As for the old village chief's suggestion to work on the boat, he would not go even if he was beaten to death.

"Village chief, why don't you let my mother go? My mother is in better health than me, and she is also hardworking."

Old village chief: “…”

Yu Ming: “…”

Is there something wrong with this person's brain?

Almost all the people working on the ship are men. Isn't he afraid of people gossiping if he lets his mother work among men?

It's a pity that he could say that.

The old village chief looked at Cai Shuyuan meaningfully.

I heard from the villagers that this guy stayed in a straw hut every day and did not work. His mother brought him food and drink. As a result...

snort!

Another ungrateful wolf!

"I didn't know you very well at first, but now I know you a little better. If you don't want to work on the ship, that's fine. Your father has sent someone to talk to you several times about replacing you. I refused because I thought you were not in good health, but now I see that you are quite strong, which makes you suitable for quarrying."

Cai Shuyuan was struck by lightning when he heard this.

Quarrying!!

Just by listening to the name, you can tell that it will be hard and tiring, so he doesn’t want to go!

"Village Chief! How about this? I will go to the city and find a school to be a teacher!"

"You can't find a job as a teacher in the city. Cai family boy, I know you are unwilling to be exiled here, but you can't resist the order, so you can only accept your fate. I tell you the truth, exiled people like you can do hard labor or do business on the island, but don't even think about being a teacher or an official."

The old village chief pulled his legs back with all his strength, but his lower body was unstable and he almost fell. He subconsciously wanted to support Cai Shuyuan on the shoulder, but he saw that he dodged directly, and his heart sank even more.

"Since they can't be teachers, what makes the people from the Yin and Zhou families qualified to be teachers?"

"It's all because I, an old man, am willing to guarantee it for them!"

The old village chief walked around Cai Shuyuan.

"As a teacher, the most important thing is character. You don't think I will take a scholar to teach the children in the village just because I see him. Besides, Yin and Zhou are both Jinshi, and the second son of the Zhou family is the top scholar. Can you compare with them? Cai family boy, I will give you a day to think about it. It's up to you to choose whether to go to the quarry or get on the ship."

After saying this, the old village chief left without looking back.

Cai Shuyuan sat on the ground for a long time before getting up. Yu Ming, who was not far away, saw it clearly. The guy's eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.

Tsk, it’s obviously not a good thing.

You want to teach your children to read?

Wait...wait, Lian Jiagou has its own school? ? And there are two Jinshi as teachers? !

Yu Ming rolled his eyes. Isn't such a good teacher better than those tutors in the city?

He was thinking about this matter and wanted to find out something when he entered the village. However, he was taken to the village chief's house as soon as he asked the first villager.

"Village Chief! This guy is sneaking around in our village. He even asked about the school. It's obvious that he's not a good person!"

"No, no, I misunderstood!"

Yu Ming really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He never expected that the people in this village would be so wary of outsiders.

"Village chief, I'm really not a bad person. I'm just a waiter at Fengweilou in the city. I was sent by the shopkeeper to Lianjiagou to look for someone."

The old village chief frowned and looked Yu Ming up and down, then asked him, "Who are you looking for? Tell me his name and I'll have someone bring him over to take you."

Let's knock together at the same time.

How come the news of building a school in the village spread to the city so quickly? There must be someone in the village who is not honest.

"Village chief, I, I don't know her name. She just came to our Fengwei Restaurant to sell some things. Oh, by the way, she caught a seven-star grouper half a month ago! She should be quite famous in the village."

"Seven-star spot?"

The old village chief turned around and looked at his old wife and several men in the village. They all shook their heads and said they had never heard of it.

"Could you have remembered it wrongly? No one in our village has ever caught a seven-star grouper."

"No, no, she said she is from Lian Jiagou."

Yu Ming struggled to pull his hand back and squatted aside obediently.

"The couple who came to our building were a mother and daughter. They started out selling grouper, but today they sold delicious snail meat and a seasoning. She also told the shopkeeper that if he wanted to sell dishes made with conch in the future, he could buy it from Lianjiagou, and the shopkeeper agreed."

This time he spoke in more detail. When the old village chief heard the mother and daughter, he immediately thought of them. When he heard about the delicious snail meat, he was even more certain.

Jiang Wan also brought him a bowl of snail meat, and the whole family ate it till the end, even mixing the soup with it.

"Ergou, go to the Yin family and invite Yin Huaixi and her daughter. Tell them that a waiter from Fengweilou has come and ask them if they know anyone from Fengweilou."

"Okay!"

Ergou ran away and quickly invited the people to the village chief's house.

When Yu Ming saw the mother and daughter, he was so excited that he could finally prove that he was not a bad person!

"Village Chief, I'm so sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, it's okay, take the person away."

The old village chief didn't ask about the grouper, conch meat, or seasonings. He just smiled and let the mother and daughter take the person away.

Yu Ming and the mother and daughter looked familiar to him. Seeing them now was like seeing his own family.

"Ma'am, I finally found you!"

"Don't call me Madam anymore. Just call me Doctor Yin like everyone else in the village."

Yu Ming was stunned, and immediately looked up to Yin Huaixi. He didn't expect that this lady could even know medical skills.

"Doctor Yin, you are really amazing."

"Don't exaggerate. Let's get down to business. What did Manager Yu ask you to do?"

In fact, both mother and daughter already had some guesses in their minds, but they had to listen to Yu Ming before they could be sure.

"Doctor Yin, the shopkeeper asked me to come here to buy some more oyster sauce. How much do you have?"

"Ah? Didn't I just sell a jar to Shopkeeper Yu today? It's gone so quickly?"

Yin Huaixi thought it would take at least two or three days to sell.

"It's not sold out yet, but half of it is already sold. If I don't buy some to keep as a backup, I won't be able to serve this garlic clams dish tomorrow."

When Jiang Wan heard this, she couldn't stop smiling.

It wasn't long after that, but the oyster sauce in Fengwei Restaurant was running out.

It looks like she can open her small oyster sauce workshop!
