Lin Wanwan drove the donkey cart quickly to the shop, hoping not to make Manager Qian wait too long.
As soon as I turned into the street, I saw a long row of tables and chairs in front of the shop.
She jumped out of the car, trotted over to Shopkeeper Qian, and said hastily, "I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Qian. Something delayed me today. I must have kept you waiting for a long time. I'm really sorry!"
Shopkeeper Qian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Nothing, I didn't wait long. I heard about your story today. You are really amazing!"
"You know it too. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing." Lin Wanwan touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
"That's normal. Don't be too scared. After what happened today, no one will dare to provoke you again. Come, check it out."
Lin Wanwan walked over to take a look, and touched the patterns on them with satisfaction. These tables and chairs were finely crafted, sturdy and durable. It seemed that Boss Qian had really put a lot of effort into them.
She opened the door, let them move in directly, paid the money, and gave him thirty taels of silver as a deposit.
"Boss Qian, how much silver does it cost to build that water mill?"
"According to preliminary estimates, it will take at least fifty taels including manpower."
"Does that include craftsmen?"
"Not really, but I know a few skilled craftsmen, but their wages are a bit higher, 150 coins a day, and the leading ones charge 300 coins a day."
Wow, it’s definitely not cheap.
“Will they repair the bridge?”
"Repairing the bridge?"
Manager Qian was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you building a wooden bridge or a stone bridge? If it's a wooden bridge, we can do it. If it's a stone bridge, you have to find them. They built all the stone bridges in our county, big and small, so their wages are more expensive."
"Okay, Manager Qian, please ask them if they have time to come. I'm in a hurry here. How about we go to our village to choose a site the day after tomorrow?"
"Okay, I'll ask for you when I get back. Your plaque and food box will be delivered tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you for troubling Shopkeeper Qian!"
"Miss Lin, you're welcome. If there's nothing else, we'll leave first!"
"Okay, Manager Qian, take care!"
Lin Wanwan and Sister Yuying cleaned the house and put the tables and chairs in order. She took a look around and felt that something was missing, especially the private room was still empty.
She went to the carpenter's shop again and spent seven taels to buy two sets of tea tables and several flower stands. There were also many green plants and flowers planted in the greenhouse, and she could pick a few to put out.
She hasn't visited the greenhouse for a long time. She used to go there every day to check on the little cuties she had carefully nurtured. But since she had 857, she has become lazy.
Now the shop is basically completed, except for the kiln. We will open it on an auspicious day!
They went to the butcher's shop to get pork offal, and were stopped by Uncle Wang who questioned them for a long time. Lin Wanwan had no choice but to tell him what had happened, which made Uncle Wang so angry that he started cursing at them.
On the way back, Li Yuying suddenly asked, "Wan girl, what is that white sugar? Did the old immortal teach you that too?"
Lin Wanwan thought she didn't care, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, that was the method the old immortal told me. At that time, the medicine was bitter, so he gave me a piece of white sugar. I asked what it was? He said it was also sugar. I asked him how to make this white sugar? He taught me the method of using brown sugar to fade the color."
"Using brown sugar to fade the color is too troublesome. Won't this white sugar cost hundreds of coins in the future?"
"Well, it will be expensive indeed, but it will be cheaper in the future when the price of sugar stabilizes."
"Alas, if someone else said this, I wouldn't believe it, but you said this, girl, and I believe it!"
"Hahaha, sister-in-law, do you trust me so much?"
"That's right. Our Wanwan is not an ordinary person. She is a little lucky star! A child favored by the gods!"
"Hahaha, sister-in-law, how can it be so exaggerated!"
"If I say yes, then yes!"
They chatted and laughed all the way, and when they reached the village, there were many people gathered on the road. The smile on Lin Wanwan's face gradually disappeared, and her face became gloomy.
Suddenly, Lin Xiu jumped out from the crowd, knelt in front of her car, and screamed.
“Wuwu, Lin Wan! Give me back my daughter! Give me back my daughter! It’s all because of you! Ahhh, my Xiangqiao, you’re such a jinx! Wuwuwu…”
Just as Lin Wanwan was about to speak, Li Yuying immediately pushed her away, jumped out of the car, and yelled at her.
"Bah! You are the unlucky one! Your good daughter is! Bah! What the hell! It was your bastard and her cousin Wang Gui, the waiter at Yunkelou, who schemed against our Wanwan! They were jealous of our Wanwan's stewed pork business! They found a group of hooligans to smash our stall and falsely accused our pig offal of being poisonous and killing people. The county magistrate was very observant and found out the cause and convicted those people! Your daughter deserves it! She deserves it! Bah!"
After hearing this, the onlookers went wild.
"Oh my God! How could Xiangqiao be so vicious!"
"Let me tell you. You can't listen to Lin Xiu. If her daughter hadn't committed any crime, would she have been arrested by the government?"
"Oh, that's right, she looks pretty, but she has such a bad mind!"
"If she really succeeds, won't Wan be charged with poisoning people? What a sin..."
Lin Xiu suddenly went crazy and yelled at them: "My daughter is not vicious, you old hags are vicious! You are full of shit and you are such a stinky mouth! Li Yuying lied! She deceived you! Don't listen to their nonsense!"
Lin Wanwan looked at her crazy appearance, with a smile on her lips, and said lightly: "Sister-in-law Lin Xiu, what are you crazy about? Did you teach Lin Xiangqiao to do this? Then you are really a good mother! If you have a mouth, why don't you go and tell the county magistrate? Why are you arguing with us?"
