Chapter 246: Mind Your Own Business (Page 1/2)
Although she couldn't sell things on the black market, Lin Man thought that Ling Fei was so generous that she would sell her some fish maw next time. She had a lot of fish maw she made herself in her space, so it wouldn't be bad to exchange it for some money.
Lin Man collected the money and said to Ling Fei with a smile, "Sister-in-law, eat more fish maw when you're pregnant. It's good for your baby's skin. Look at how fair and tender our An An and Ning Ning's skin is."
Ling Fei looked at her two nephews' faces with envy and sighed, "Sister-in-law, good fish maw is only sold in coastal cities, right?"
Lin Man rolled her eyes and said, "You forgot that we lived on the island before. Qingci can ask his friends to help send some over."
Liao Sijie suddenly interrupted, "Second sister-in-law, my parents are still on the island. If you want to buy fish maw, you can ask my mom to buy it for you."
Ling Fei said excitedly, "Really? Next time I'll write to my aunt and ask her to buy me some dried seafood."
Lin Man didn't expect that Liao Sijie, a Cheng Yaojin, would appear out of nowhere and cut off her source of income.
Liao Sijie and Lin Jing are together, and this marriage was arranged by Huo Qingyan. Liao Sijie wants to please Ling Fei, and Lin Man can understand that.
Let them go as they please. If Ling Fei doesn't ask her to buy it, then she doesn't have to. Anyway, she has dried the fish maws in the space very well, and they won't go bad even if they are kept for many years.
But Liao Sijie was such an ungrateful little girl, she would never be too nice to her again. Since Liao Sijie wouldn't be working until the New Year, she naturally wouldn't prepare winter clothes for her at the end of the year.
After her parents-in-law and her brother-in-law left, Lin Man took the two children back to their room and coaxed them to sleep. Huo Qingci walked in.
"Manman, why did you think of exchanging those things for money?"
"Isn't it based on their needs? Just sell some to them. After all, they're not outsiders and won't report me. Save the money and use it to buy a bigger house later."
I originally wanted to buy some fish maw for Ling Fei, but who knew Si Jie would interfere. Qing Ci, you said your cousin is marrying into the Lin family, so she should become good sisters with Ling Fei in the future, right?
Huo Qingci saw the change in Lin Man's expression and mistakenly thought that she was jealous of Ling Fei, so he smiled and explained:
"The reason why Si Jie is trying to please my brother's wife is actually because my brother is her matchmaker!
After they get married, they should prepare a thank-you gift for my brother. Maybe they will visit my brother every year to wish him a happy new year! "
Lin Man knew that in this era, people really respected matchmakers.
If the matchmaker successfully brings together a happy marriage, the newlyweds will personally visit the matchmaker during the Chinese New Year to express their gratitude and wish him a happy new year.
Of course, there are also some couples in unhappy marriages who may secretly curse the matchmaker.
Lin Man could understand that Liao Sijie wanted to please Ling Fei, but she did not agree with Liao Sijie doing so in front of her.
Just like Liao Sijie was going to marry Lin Jing, although she supported it, she didn't really like them doing it and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Liao Sijie knew very well that she and the Lin family did not get along, but she still wanted to marry into the family. Huo Qingyan also knew very well that her, the eldest sister-in-law, did not want to care about the Lin family, but he still introduced Liao Sijie to them, which shows that they did not take her, the eldest sister-in-law, seriously.
However, she also understood that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, right?
Huo Qingyan wanted his cousin to marry well and also wanted to have a better relationship with Lin Jing, so he ignored her feelings.
When Liao Sijie heard Huo Qingyan wanted to introduce her to a pilot, her eyes lit up. Later, Huo Qingyan explained that the man was Lin Jing.
Liao Sijie was afraid that she would object, so she refused verbally, but later she secretly followed Huo Qingyan to see Lin Jing.
Liao Sijie had worked hard to help her take care of the children over the years, and she was grateful to her, so she gave her double what she was owed.
Lin Man had thought about this a long time ago. After Liao Sijie married Lin Jing, in her eyes, Liao Sijie was a member of the Lin family. She would no longer be so considerate to help her or treat her well.
"Qingci, you won't blame me for taking their money, right?"

"Little fool, brothers should settle accounts clearly. Now that we are married and have our own families, of course we have to settle the accounts clearly.
Next time my brother asks me to help buy something, I will calculate it based on today's price.
We still have two sons to raise. Didn't you say you'd buy a courtyard house for An'an and Ningning? We need to find a way to save more money.
I plan to dig up and sell all the herbs I've been growing for five or six years before the end of the year."
“Who did you sell it to?”
"A herbal medicine store. My friend's family owns one, but now it's a public-private partnership. 70% of the profits go to the government, and they get 30%. My friend is doing the purchasing for his own herbal medicine store."
"Your friend sells medicinal herbs. Does he accept fruits and seafood?"
Huo Qingci knew what Lin Man meant. There were so many fruits and seafood in the space that it would be difficult to sell them separately on the black market.
But if I have a friend who does purchasing, I can wholesale the fruits and seafood to him to help sell them.
"Manman, when I have some free time, I'll go and test that friend to see if he has any connections. After all, his ancestors were in business."
His friend's ancestors were in business, and in this era, they could still get 30% of the profits from the family business, which shows that their family is very powerful.
Maybe once the movement is over, the family’s properties and shops will return to their hands.
So no matter what era, the noble families are the noble families, the beggars are the beggars, some are really rich, and some are really poor, and it is often the people in the middle who are suppressed.
It is said that there is no business without fraud. Since Huo Qingci's friend is in purchasing, he must be doing other business secretly.
Otherwise, who are the sellers of those treasures that are smuggled abroad?
Lin Man thought for a moment and said, "Qingci, if it's safe, we can take some supplies out of the space and sell them. If it's not safe, forget it. Safety is everything."
"Okay, I understand. Manman, now that Sijie is married to Lin Jing, we don't have to worry about her. The Lin family is not far from my parents' home. If Sijie has any problems, my parents and brother can take care of her."
Lin Man smiled and said, "Well, I'll do as you say. I won't go looking for her."
Liao Sijie got married and had nothing to do with her from then on, so of course she would not meddle in her affairs anymore.
Instead of taking care of trivial matters, you might as well use your free time to knit a few more sweaters for your two children.
Lin Man smiled slightly and said softly, "Okay, I'll follow your instructions and will definitely not go to her to meddle in her affairs."
At this moment, her only thought is to work hard at work, take good care of her two children when she is resting, and live her life peacefully.
Eat whatever you want, do whatever you want, mind other people's business, and live your life freely.
When the time is right, with the perception of the future situation brought by rebirth, go all out to earn wealth and strive to make the family live a happy and well-fed life.
What made Lin Man angry was that a week later, the temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, and the two children suddenly fell ill at the same time, coughing and having runny noses.
The final exams were approaching, and she had a lot of work to do at school. It was difficult to ask for leave, and her two children kept coughing every night.
We took them to the hospital during the day, and the doctor just prescribed some cough syrup. The coughs were slightly better at night, but in the middle of the night, both children had fevers at the same time.
In the middle of the night, Lin Man felt like she was holding a small stove in her arms, burning her chest and making her feel uncomfortable.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she quickly turned on the light and found that An An and Ning Ning's faces were flushed. She reached out and touched them and found that the two children's foreheads were burning hot.
Lin Man was so frightened that she was at a loss. She screamed, "Huo Qingci, get up quickly. An An and Ning Ning have a fever."
Huo Qingci sat up straight, "Manman, you watch over them. I'll get a thermometer to take their temperatures first."
