As for Lin Wan, Hu Niu found her again and pulled her to a place with fewer people.
"Wanwan, I apologize to you. Please don't be angry with me. I didn't know that the food you cooked was so delicious. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't be so angry."
Lin Wanwan used the firelight to see that she did look a little apologetic, and said expressionlessly, "I just started doing this not long ago, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."
Lin Huniu's face lit up, and she continued nervously, "I don't know what happened today. I don't know that you were pushed into the river by Lin Xiangqiao a few days ago and almost couldn't be saved. You know that you are my only best friend. Today, Lin Xiangqiao told me that you were going to the county town to sell food and didn't want to play with us anymore. I, after being provoked by her, believed her..."
Lin Wanwan nodded, almost understanding what she meant.
"It's okay. I've been busy lately and haven't had time to tell you. Just listen less to her instigation in the future."
Hu Niu hesitated, not knowing what to say. She twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers, and finally took a deep breath and spoke.
"Wanwan, I was wondering if you could take me with you when you start your business in the future? You know, my stepmother has never liked me, and she will definitely not give me a dowry when I get married. I want to earn my own dowry."
Lin Wanwan didn't say anything, thinking about her words seriously.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lin Huniu hurriedly pulled her and said, "Lin Wan, didn't we agree to share happiness and difficulties? I don't ask for anything else, I just want to earn some dowry, you can take me with you to help, do some odd jobs, and save the wages for me, because my stepmother will take it away, so please, Wanwan, help me!"
After hearing this, Lin Wan did believe it a little, but still did not let down his guard. He could only say to her, "I really don't have any good work here. Why don't you come to me after the autumn harvest? Tell your stepmother that you can learn business from me. I will provide you with two meals a day. You will learn from me first, but you will not be paid. Of course, I will tell your stepmother that. But if you perform well, I will pay you. How about that?"
Lin Huniu nodded happily, "Okay, let's do it! You have more ideas! I will come to you after the autumn harvest, so don't ignore me then!"
"No, just come to my house and find me."
"Okay, it's settled then!"
"Um."
So many things happened that day that Lin Wanwan's thoughts were still in a mess when she returned home.
Li Yuying noticed that she seemed to be worried and asked, "What's wrong, Wanwan?"
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but tell her about Lin Huniu.
"I see. You've already promised her. Let her try it for a few days. If she has bad intentions, you can find a reason to get rid of her. Oh, it's just a small thing, and you're so worried!"
Lin Wanwan said awkwardly: "No, I'm wondering if our friendship is real or not. I don't want to be disappointed in the end."
Li Yuying covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Didn't you two get along best in the past? You were as close as one person. When you were doing something naughty, one of you would keep watch while the other would do it. I heard that Hu Niu would get beaten by her stepmother every time she went home. You two can be said to have shared the joys and sorrows together, haha."
"Sister-in-law, please stop making fun of us. Today, Hu Niu was instigated by Lin Xiangqiao to pick a fight with me, so I got a little suspicious. Forget it, let's talk about it later."
"Yeah, that's right. Go home and have a good sleep today. I'll ask Uncle Youcai to pick us up tomorrow morning. Our pot is heavy, otherwise we won't be able to lift it."
"Okay, sister-in-law, go back and go to bed early!"
"Okay, let's go back!"
Lin Wanwan and Lin Bai returned home, fed the dogs first, and then used the broth in the pot to braise the remaining pork offal, while Lin Bai helped her.
After working for more than an hour to finish the braised pork, she asked Lin Bai to go to bed first, then she put the braised pork into the space, climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.
The next day, before dawn, Lin Wanwan slept until she woke up naturally, got up to wash, and then kneaded a few bowls of dough so that the dough could ferment on the way.
The stew in the pot was still hot when it was taken out of the space. Lin Wanwan cut a few buns, made roujiamo, ate a little, and left the rest for Lin Bai.
Seeing that it was still early, he boiled another pot of eggs, scooped them out and put them into the wooden barrel. If anyone wanted eggs, they could add a penny.
After finishing her formal dressing, Sister Yuying knocked on the door. Lin Wanwan opened the door and saw Uncle Youcai driving a ox cart over. They helped to move the things onto the cart.
When they reached the village entrance, they found Lin Xiangqiao and her mother were also waiting for the bus.
Seeing them, Lin Xiu couldn't help but sneer: "Wow, with so many things, how can we sit? And Uncle Cai has to go pick them up in person. What, did you hire a car?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "That's right. If you didn't come, I would have hired a car. A bullock cart can go faster."
Lin Xiu shamelessly said, "Okay, go ahead and hire a car. You hire yours and we'll take ours."
"Some people are so shameless. Uncle Youcai, this is the fare for Wanwan and I. Whoever rides should pay. Some people just don't have the shame. They are not satisfied with taking advantage, and they want to ride for free?"
Lin Youcai took the money from Li Yuying, looked at Lin Xiu and the others, and asked impatiently, "Do you want to take a ride? If not, I'll leave in a hurry!"
"Sit down, sit down!" Lin Xiangqiao quickly took out the money and handed it to him.
After taking the money, Lin Youcai didn't say anything else and drove away quickly.
