Chapter 113 Thinking About It
"Don't let anyone know when the time comes. Let's do it quietly first."
"Okay!" Of course, the money-making matter must be kept secret.
"I've made up my mind. I'll talk to General Zhong Jing about it later and ask him to help get our sugar to the provincial capital to sell. We'll go with them. They don't know the ins and outs of business, so we'll feel more at ease if we go on our own. But with them escorting us, the journey will be safe. Of course, their work won't be in vain; they'll definitely be paid well."
Maybe, we can cooperate with their military camp again next year?
Zhao Liya wanted to test the water and drag them into the water - no, it was cooperation!
Hu Ling agreed deeply, nodded and said with a smile: "Aya, you are really thoughtful. This way, we don't have to worry about safety issues at all."
"Yes, if it works."
"Of course I can!"
It was almost dark that day when Zhao Liya, Hu Ling and the others returned. Luo Shuyan and Lin Mo returned first, having already prepared a steaming meal.
In order to celebrate properly, Zhao Xiang went to the city to buy some vegetables.
Zhao Liya smiled when she saw the large table of delicious food. "The village head came to the workshop to look for us this afternoon and said he'd treat us to dinner tonight. Let's celebrate! He even asked Mom and Dad to come too. If Yutao goes, Aunt Qu will naturally go too, and Aunt Shiyi will naturally go too. Let's all go, it will be lively!"
Everyone laughed.
Mrs. Deng laughed and said, "This is really too much of a expense for the village head and his men."
Aunt Li Shiyi laughed and said, "Sister, you're not right. The sugar-making workshop is now running smoothly and producing such delicious sugar. From now on, the villagers in our village will also benefit from it! Everyone has work to do! This is naturally a great thing and worth celebrating!"
"The head of the village will treat you tomorrow. Just wait until the twelfth lunar month, when the Little New Year is over and the New Year pig is slaughtered, every household will invite you. Don't refuse then. Just go. Everyone will enjoy the meal, and the host will be happy too!"
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "Go, of course. Our family loves a lively atmosphere! How about this: tomorrow morning, my brother, Yutao, and I will go to the city to buy some meat and wine to bring back."
Everyone discussed it and didn't mention it.
Hu Ling and Yu Xiaofang naturally also ate at the Zhao family. They basically regarded the Zhao family as half their home now. They ate at least two meals a day at the Zhao family. Whatever prey they hunted, they would keep a portion of it and bring it to the Zhao family so that everyone could enjoy the delicious food together.
Zhao Liya used her mouth and Luo Shuyan used her hands to make all kinds of delicious food. Now that they have flour, there are even more delicious foods, which makes everyone greedy every day!
Tonight, the two of them went home after dinner. Unexpectedly, a man suddenly rushed out on the way and almost hit Hu Ling. Hu Ling dodged quickly and neatly. The man staggered and almost fell.
Yu Xiaofang yelled at the top of his lungs, "Who are you? Don't you have eyes for what you're doing? You rushed out so suddenly, and you ran so fast. What if you bump into someone?"
The man almost cried, his voice tinged with sobs: "Brother Lin, it's me, it's me!"
Lin Mo said coldly: "Don't bark, my mother only gave birth to me, no sister. Also, I don't know who you are. A good dog doesn't block the road, get out of the way!"
Yu Xiaofang uttered a "Pah!" and said unhappily, "What bad luck! What a joke! Cousin, let's get out of here quickly, or we'll get stuck with this!"
Yu Xiaofang pulled Lin Mo away without saying anything.
In fact, why did Lin Mo need him to pull her? She walked faster than him.
Yu Xiaofang couldn't help but complain, "Is there something wrong with Luo Shuyu recently? Doesn't she know about you and Sister Shuyan? Doesn't she know why we go to the Zhao family so often? What's her reason for wanting to get close to you?"
"Oh my god, is she attracted to my cousin? Hahaha! Where does she get the confidence that my cousin would like her?"
Yu Xiaofang laughed uncontrollably, even a little gloatingly. Lin Mo's cold gaze swept over her, and she quickly fell silent, covering her mouth. "Haha, I won't laugh anymore."
Lin Mo glanced at him and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Yu Xiaofang added, "But then again, this is just too annoying! They keep coming up with these 'chance encounters' and suddenly showing up to stop people. Who can stand that? They even come to wait at our door. Even if it's nothing, if the villagers see it, they might tell something, and then it'll be another problem."
Uncle Luo was a quiet man, so he wouldn't cause any trouble. But what about Qi Shi? Who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.
"I'm really confused. Didn't Mrs. Qi always dislike you, my cousin? Why did she suddenly allow her daughter to actively pester you? It's really weird!"
If someone said that Qi didn't know that Luo Shuyu came to see Lin Mo, neither Yu Xiaofang nor Lin Mo would believe it.
How is that possible?
Lin Mo's eyes were filled with disgust, and he said coldly, "This can't go on like this. Next time you come here, I'll beat you up."
"Don't," Yu Xiaofang said, "If you really hit them, they'll just keep blaming you. I'll find a way!"
Lin Mo knew that he always had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, so he nodded: "As soon as possible."
Yu Xiaofang added, "I think I should tell Sister Shuyan about this as well, to prevent her from thinking too much."
Lin Mo said: "She won't think too much."
After a while, he added, "I'll tell her."
Let’s talk about Luo Shuyu. She was defeated again and was scolded by Yu Xiaofang. She covered her face and ran home crying.
From time to time, she heard the villagers mocking her parents for being stupid and missing out on Lin Mo as a son-in-law. They praised Lin Mo's ability in every way and said that Lin Mo sent things to the Zhao family every day, which was a benefit to the Zhao family for nothing. Luo Shuyu felt very uncomfortable.
But she hadn't thought about anything else yet.
Until one day, she heard Third and Second Sister-in-law Gu talking about Lin Mo. Third Sister-in-law Gu kept praising Lin Mo for his ability and said that whoever married him would have a life of happiness! There would be endless delicious food to eat and money to spend. Where else could it be so good?
They also said that Luo Shuyan was now a servant and was no match for Lin Mo. Sooner or later, they would separate. Who would end up with such a good person like Lin Mo in the future?
Luo Shuyu suddenly understood and was moved!
Yeah, why hadn't she thought of it before?
If, if she married Lin Mo, would she still worry about not having good food to eat? Would she still worry about not having money to spend? Why would she need to do so much work every day?
Perhaps when Lin Mo and Luo Shuyan were together before, the Luo family naturally treated everything about Lin Mo as their own, and naturally there was no need to think about anything else.
But it's different now.
What belongs to Lin Mo belongs to Lin Mo, and has nothing to do with their Luo family!
