Li Yuying heard the commotion in the yard, opened the door and came in to see that it was the four of them. She shook her head and said, "Keep your voice down. If someone doesn't know, they might think you're fighting!"
After saying that, he closed the door and went home to cook.
"By the way, aunt, when will your shop open?"
"It will be soon. It will only take a few days. Will you have time to help me then?"
Lin Huzi patted his chest and said, "No problem! I will definitely go then!"
"That's great, otherwise we might not be able to handle it. By the way, can you help me harvest more walnuts and sesame seeds recently?"
"Walnuts and sesame seeds? These two are not cheap!"
"What's the price for these two?"
Shen Mo thought for a moment and said, "If you buy them in a store, walnuts are 18 wen per pound, and sesame seeds are less than 60 wen. If we buy them, we can charge walnuts for 15 wen, and sesame seeds for around 50 wen."
Lin Wanwan nodded, "Okay, let's try this for a day."
"Yes, sure."
They talked for a while, and when it was getting dark, they went home together.
In the evening, she and Lin Bai simply cooked some corn porridge and ate it. Then they prepared everything for tomorrow.
She took out a bag of cotton, needles and thread, and white cloth from the space. She had bought them before and wanted to make a new set of bedding for the winter. Now they were just right for use.
She had seen her grandmother do it before. First, cut the cloth to the desired amount, spread the cotton evenly layer by layer, and then cover it with a layer of cloth and sew it. It took several rows to prevent the cotton inside from clumping and scattering. Well, it didn't matter if the lining was ugly, as long as she put on a quilt cover on the outside.
She hurriedly made a set of bedding and pillows before going to bed. There was no rush to change Lin Bai's clothes. It would not be too late to change them after giving him a bath tomorrow.
The next day she woke up early, cooked a pot of porridge, fried some vegetables, and put them in the pot to warm them for Lin Bai.
Today, Boss Qian went to the store to deliver tables and chairs, and they don’t know when they will be back.
The stewed meat was still selling well, and some people even brought their own bowls to take some stewed meat and vegetables. Lin Wanwan didn't refuse and served them some.
When they were about to sell out, a dozen strong men suddenly rushed to them and overturned their stall, spilling soup and fruits all over the floor.
One of the short men pointed at them and said, "Brother, that's them. Hu Zi must have eaten their pig offal and that's why he got sick!"
There were also a few people shouting at the people around them: "The pig offal they sell is poisonous! It can kill people! Everyone, please don't eat it anymore!"
There were a few customers who often came to buy food nearby, protecting her and Sister Yuying and stepping back.
"We eat it every day and we haven't gotten sick from it! Are you guys trying to blackmail us?"
"That's right! Where's your brother? I want to see him alive or dead!"
"You guys smashed everything! How are you going to compensate us?"
Lin Wanwan came out from the back and said in a cold voice, "You said someone died from eating my stewed food. Where is that person? Why don't you report to the police instead of destroying our stall?"
The burly man with a face full of flesh in the lead looked at her twice with a gloomy expression, and raised his hand to signal the two people next to him.
The two men immediately shouted to the people behind them: "Lift the beard over here!"
After a while, four people came over carrying a bearded man. Lin Wanwan took a quick look and saw that he had his eyes closed, his face was blue, and there was a lot of vomit around him, which looked like pig offal.
She then shouted, "Why don't you take him to see a doctor, but instead bring him to me?"
The leading strong man sneered, "My brother fell to the ground because he ate your pig offal. You have to pay for his medical treatment!"
Lin Wanwan gently held down Sister Yuying's hand that was pulling her.
"You said that what I eat is mine? I didn't see him come to our stall to buy anything today, so you must have found the wrong person. You should go take him to see a doctor as soon as possible."
"you!"
His eyes widened as if he wanted to eat someone. Suddenly, he grinned, "You don't admit it, right? Believe it or not, I will make sure you can't leave this street today!"
"Humph, what? Do you still want to kill someone? Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, please help me bear witness. If anything happens to me and my sister-in-law today, it's all their fault!"
"Don't worry, girl! We are all watching!"
"Yes, girl, you don't have to be afraid! They dare to kill people in broad daylight!"
"What's your business? Get out of here!"
He was so angry that he pulled out an axe from his waist, pointed at Lin Wanwan and said, "If you don't pay me one hundred taels of silver today, I won't let you leave!"
Lin Wanwan looked at the axe in front of her and tried to calm down.
"I, Lin Wan, also tell you that unless you give me evidence and report me to the police, I will never admit it! Even if you kill me today, you won't get a penny!"
The two of them remained in a stalemate for a long time. Finally, he shouted to the people behind him: "Baozi, go get the doctor!"
Lin Wanwan remained calm and continued to watch them perform, comforting Li Yuying on the side.
"Wanwan, what should we do? Do we really have to pay them money?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. They are just framing us, and we won't let them succeed!"
"But……"
In less than half a cup of tea, they brought an old man with a goatee. The old man felt the patient's pulse, lifted his eyelids to take a look, and finally took out a silver needle and put it into the vomit.
Gradually, the silver needle turned black...
