Chapter 181 Let Her Give an Explanation
After dinner.
Everyone divided the work.
Lin Fu was going to the fields to watch the hired workers harvest the autumn harvest.
Because there were too many fields, Lin Xiuyan, Dalin and Lin Luchen also had to go to the fields to keep an eye on them.
Li Wenjing also had to harvest his sweet potatoes.
Lin Xiuran was going to the workshop to keep an eye on it as it was in the final stages of completion.
This would make it seem like Zhao Zhan had nothing to do, but he was a person who could not sit still.
He asked Lin Zhiyi if he needed any help, and then he heard Lin Xiuran say, "Third brother, come with me to the workshop and help me."
Lin Xiuran knew clearly how Zhao Zhan felt about his sister, and he also heard from his parents that he had originally wanted to propose marriage this time, but later he didn't know what Zhizhi said to him, which made him accept her as his godchild.
Although he liked his third brother Zhao Zhan very much, he didn't want to make things difficult for his sister.
Since Lin Xiuran had already suggested it, Zhao Zhan had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I'll go with Big Brother."
The men left one after another, leaving only the women of the Lin family in the house.
"Aunt Si, Aunt Xue, I have an errand to do. Would you be willing to do it?"
Liu and Aunt Xue quickly agreed: "Yes, we will do it. Zhizhi, you can arrange the errand."
"I opened a braised food shop and wanted to make duck products. I'll let you two make it. If we make any money, we'll split it 50-50. You two get 50-50 and I get 50-50."
Even if you are a family, it is better to be clear about the issue of making money to avoid disagreements in the future.
Excitement was visible in the eyes of Liu and Aunt Xue. "As long as we can earn some money, we are not afraid of hardship. We don't want a share of the profits. Just give us some wages."
Aunt Xue is afraid of being poor.
Liu fell seriously ill on the way to exile and felt that she owed the eldest wife too much. She came to Xishui Village. After the eldest wife's new house was built, the four wives had lived and ate at the eldest wife's expense. Now she was given so much, which made her feel a little guilty.
Madam Song stepped forward and said, "If the branches are given to you, take them. If you don't want them, you have to consider the children. Fourth sister-in-law, you have to save some dowry for Xue'er. Sister Xue, you also have to save money for Lu Chen to marry a wife."
"Besides, whether this shop makes money or not is another matter."
They looked at each other and nodded.
When it comes to Lin Xue's marriage, Liu is a little worried.
Xue'er is fifteen years old and has reached the age to discuss marriage. If they were in Chang'an, they would have helped Lin Xue to investigate and eavesdrop long ago.
But now they are in the countryside of Fangzhou, and Xue'er is very proud. How could she possibly look down on an illiterate country man?
"Fourth Aunt, Aunt Xue, Aunt Yang from the village will be here soon. One of you can arrange for them to kill the ducks first, and the other can go with me to the county decoration shop. You two can discuss it."
Liu said, "I'm going to the county. Sister Xue, please stay home and take the people to kill the ducks."
It's not that she dislikes the dirty and tiring job of killing ducks, but Aunt Xue is afraid of meeting people. If she meets a stranger, she will become incoherent and unable to speak.
It's okay to let Aunt Xue do some work, but she still has to be in charge of decorating the shop.
Seeing that everyone in the family had work to do, even Fang Mama and Chai Ya were busy all day and were nowhere to be seen, Gu Wanyun stepped forward and asked, "Sister, everyone at home has work to do, can you help me find a job to do too?"
"Sister-in-law, you stay home and take good care of Zheng'er and Lu'er, help mother take care of the second sister-in-law, and just help with the cooking."
Mrs. Song also said, "Yes, you shouldn't go anywhere. The second son's wife is getting heavier, and Lu'er is still young. Let them make money."
Gu Wanyun felt a little lost.
Seeing that her younger sisters and the others were making money, she also wanted to make some money.
The misfortune that befell her family made her realize the importance of money.
There is nothing lowly about merchants. Having no money to spend is even lower, and they may even lose their lives.
Lin Xue also asked: "Cousin, you haven't arranged anything for me to do yet."
Lin Zhi seemed to be thinking about something.
Lin Xue has reached the age of marriage. If she wants to find a good husband in the future, she must get to know the young talents in Fangzhou.
The customs of Dagan are open-minded. Women are not restricted to staying at home. Even rich ladies are not restricted to doing needlework at home.
Then be a female shopkeeper.
After the study was opened, it was impossible for the eldest and second brothers to stay in the shop every day. Lin Xue had good handwriting, so she was the most suitable person to be the female manager of the study.
"There's so much work to do at home. Just do whatever is needed first. I'll make arrangements for you later."
"Well, I'll listen to my cousin."
Lin Xue agreed.
Although she felt a little disappointed, she had to listen to her cousin.
Everyone was busy, and Lin Zhiyi also took Liu and Feihuang out.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, I saw a carriage parked outside.
"Trouble is coming again."
Then Uncle Lin helped Old Madam Wang get off the carriage.
Lin Zhiyi sneered. He had guessed that they would come, and they actually came.
I guess they came for the electric baton.
I heard that Madam Wang wanted to sell electric batons, but I’m afraid she hasn’t sold any yet.
If it could be sold, he would not be willing to marry Lin Jingwei to Boss Hu.
When Old Lady Wang saw Lin Zhiyi and Liu, she immediately straightened herself and assumed the dignity of an elder: "What are you two doing standing there? Why don't you help me in!"
But Lin Zhiyi and Liu were standing there motionless.
Especially Lin Zhiyi, his eyes were full of sarcasm, which was very dazzling.
"Old woman, our two families are no longer related. If you want to show off your power as an elder, I advise you to go home and play with your children and grandchildren."
Lin Zhiyi spoke bluntly.
"you!"
Old Lady Wang choked.
She glared at Lin Zhiyi fiercely.
When she was in Chang'an, Mrs. Wang had a shrewd temper, but at least she still cared about her dignity. If she was accused of being unfilial and disrespectful to her grandmother, she would be spitted at.
When she arrived in Fangzhou, her temper became even more arrogant.
Madam Wang picked up her cane and was about to teach someone a lesson when she heard Lin Zhiyi say, "You old rascal, are you sure you want to teach me a lesson in front of my house?"
Uncle Lin took two steps and grabbed her cane. "Mom, Mom, please don't be impulsive."
Second Uncle Lin winked at Old Madam Wang.
Only then did Old Lady Wang react. She was so stimulated by this bitch that she almost forgot the purpose of her trip.
She looked at Liu and said, "Fourth daughter-in-law, help me in."
Liu did not move.
The last time Old Lady Wang wanted to take Lin Xue away and hand her over to Boss Hu, Liu knelt in front of Old Lady Wang and kowtowed repeatedly, begging her to let Xue'er go, but Old Lady Wang remained unmoved.
She even wanted to kill Old Madam Wang.
"Our two families have long been separated. You are not welcome in our home. Please leave our door."
Old Lady Wang didn't expect Liu to say this.
When in Chang'an, Liu was always like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw her.
Uncle Lin was afraid they would really chase them away, so he quickly said with a smile, "Fourth sister-in-law, Zhizhi, we are family after all. You can't write two Lin characters with one stroke. Look, we came all the way here, even strangers can ask for a bowl of water, right?"
Lin Zhiyi said angrily, "Stop pretending. Do I need to tell you what kind of people you are? Do you really think you are fools?"
Seeing that she was not going to give in, Second Uncle Lin's face immediately darkened and he said coldly, "Jingwei ran away and her whereabouts are unknown. On the day of her wedding, Old Madam Hu said that you went to the Hu family. You must have done something. You must give an explanation for this matter!"
