Lin Mo took the silver and was in a trance for a moment.
Shopkeeper Li wanted to keep him here for a month, and he was somewhat concerned. Now that he had money, he naturally wanted to go back early to arrange his family and marry Su Mu as soon as possible. However, Shopkeeper Li had spent so much money selling the prescription, and if he didn't keep him to sell it for his reputation, he would have a hard time explaining to his old boss.
After telling the shopkeeper Li his address, Lin Mo left. The shopkeeper was not afraid that he would run away. After all, he had the prescription in his hands, so what was there to worry about?
After leaving the restaurant, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and moved his neck left and right. Since he traveled through time, he has lived a comfortable life. Although he has been running around during this period, it is much more satisfying than the end of the world.
In his previous life, in order to complete his mission and stay alive, he often slept on the streets, worked all night long, went without food for several days, and was always worried about being bitten by zombies.
Although his life was poor now, he never felt tired. When he thought of Su Mu, he even looked forward to the future. He almost forgot about the tense life on the edge of a knife.
"Hey, I finally have money. With this money, I won't have to worry about getting married or building a new house."
Lin Mo happily looked at the dazzling array of stalls on the street and finally started shopping seriously. "Boss, how much is this jade hairpin?"
Lin Mo was holding a milky white and delicate jade hairpin, and the image of Su Mu's hair casually tied with a hemp rope flashed through his mind. He liked this jade hairpin even more in his heart. This jade hairpin matched Su Mu very well, and it was the most appropriate gift for her.
"Sir, you have a very good eye. This is a hairpin carved from top-quality white jade. It's the most exquisite item on my stall. It's only two taels of silver." The stall owner immediately became excited when he saw Lin Mo liked it so much. While he was speaking, he showed Lin Mo the pattern on it.
Lin Mo nodded, finding the price acceptable. He immediately asked someone to pack it up, and then selected some jewelry for his family. The total cost was fifteen taels. He couldn't help but sigh that the consumption in this capital city was high.
In Qingshui Village, an ordinary family could not save these fifteen taels even if they tightened their belts and dieted for a year. But here, they were gone in an instant.
With the money, Lin Mo did not treat himself badly. He ordered two sets of cotton clothes from the clothing store and wore a more ordinary set. There was no other way. The patches on his clothes were still quite conspicuous. Since he would be working at Xinrui for a month, he had to look good.
After preparing everything, Lin Mo returned to the inn. With the money, he directly exchanged his bunk bed for a private room, and then went to the bunk bed to find Li Fu.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Mo looked at Li Fu with amusement, seeing him sitting on the edge of the bed with his head hunched, looking very cautious. Fortunately, there was no one around at the moment, otherwise someone who didn't know would think he was trying to steal something.
As soon as Li Fu saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly handed the package in his hand to Lin Mo.
"Boss Lin, you're finally back. Hurry up and take this money. I have so much money, I'm always worried that I'll lose it or someone will steal it. I don't dare to go out after returning to the room."
Lin Mo took a rough look and found it was more than five taels. He took two taels with him when he left. His income for today was relatively high. He looked at Li Fu and felt more trust in him. If it were someone else, they might just take his money and run away. After all, ordinary people might have other ideas when seeing so much money.
Li Fu saw Lin Mo lighting the coins and said with a simple smile, "It's sunny today, and we're running our stall in the scorching sun. The customers who come and go all out want iced drinks, so business is booming."
“No wonder the revenue is more than I expected.”
"These sixty copper coins are your wages for today, Li Fu. I'm surprised that you didn't run away with my money." Lin Mo smiled awkwardly. He still had a bit of a mean mind.
When Li Fu heard this, his face flushed red. How could he say he had never thought about it? This idea came to his mind as soon as he saw the money. After all, the world is so big, and Lin Mo doesn't even know where his home is.
Even if he ran away, Lin Mo might not be able to find him, but he was timid, and Lin Mo lived with him in a large dormitory and was dressed even more poorly than him, so he felt a little guilty.
"Don't think too much. I'm complimenting you. I'm giving you an extra day's wages. These sixty cents are an extra reward. If you're willing, you can still work with me tomorrow.
I'll be staying in the capital for another month. You can find a small courtyard to rent for a month and we can move there. You know that selling ice cubes is too conspicuous and it's not safe to stay in the inn. Now that we have money, we can find a place to move there."
Li Fu was holding the money in his hand and hadn't realized yet that this 120 cents would normally take him at least three days of work to earn, and it was all hard work, often leaving him so tired that he couldn't even straighten his back. But today, he earned so much money just by standing there for one afternoon.
"Boss Lin, this ice is so expensive, please pay me the normal wages. I'm already getting a great deal, and I can't let you suffer any loss." As he said this, he was about to hand the extra sixty cents to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo smiled and refused him, "Don't worry, keep it well. If you have nothing to do this afternoon, go find a yard and we'll move there tomorrow. You'll have to sell it yourself then. I'll prepare the items for sale and I'll take whatever you can get. I'll definitely treat you well if I make the money."
The two planned the follow-up, but he didn't expect that Li Fu was really too much. The rented yard was really located in a dead end. It was safe, but it was far from Ferry Street.
Fortunately, this guy was strong enough to make a shoulder pole by himself. Every day, Lin Mo prepared ice cubes and sour plum juice, and now he also added milk tea and jam. He found a way to move them all to the ferry.
For this purpose, he specially found some farmers who sold milk and fruits. They were all Li Fu's acquaintances. As long as they were not bad people, Lin Mo didn't mind taking them to make money together.
Maolin Village.
Time flies, and Lin Mo has been gone for more than two months. What he doesn't know is that he has become a hot topic in the village, and the door of the Su family is now crowded with people.
"Mother, I've already discussed this with my wife, and Big Brother Wang has agreed. If Brother Mu doesn't want to go, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my daughter to live in the future."
Su Yunqiu burst into tears of grievance, and she looked pitiful. At this time, she was already married, wearing fine cotton clothes, and she looked more noble than others.
"Don't worry, Yun'er. I'm his mother, so he has the final say."
As she spoke, she looked at Lin Sheng again, her eyes filled with poison, and she said viciously, "Sheng'er, do you have any shame? You, an old man who can't get married, have the nerve to come to my house to propose marriage. Look, as soon as the engagement was broken off, my Yun'er got married in town. Now you want to propose marriage to Mu'er? With your family's conditions, can you afford the betrothal gift?"
