Chapter 46 Asking for a Cart
Upon hearing this, Uncle Lin was so angry that he kicked Lin Xiu Ze.
"You want to tire your father to death? Go get a cart. If you don't get one, you will have to carry your grandmother on your back."
Lin Xiu Ze was still very afraid of his father, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to Lin Xiu Ran.
He smiled and said, "Cousin."
Lin Xiuran raised his eyes and said, "You've got the wrong person."
"I didn't recognize the wrong person. I came here to find you."
Lin Xiu Ze said shamelessly.
"What's the matter, Master Lin?"
"You guys don't need this cart anymore, right? Can you give it to me?"
Lin Xiuran narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lin Xiuze again, "Sorry, I'm using this cart right now."
"Lin Xiuran, I might as well tell you directly, I'm here for my grandmother. She's old, and since your uncle doesn't need this cart anymore..."
Before Lin Xiu Ze could finish, Lin Xiu Yan scolded him, "Lin Xiu Ze, you guys haven't finished yet, have you? Do you want me to read the severance document myself?"
Lin Xiu Ze choked and then his expression turned ugly.
"If you want a cart, bring money to buy it."
Lin Xiu Ze was about to say something when he heard Lin Xiu Yan shout, "Officer, there's trouble over here."
Lin Xiuyan's roar actually attracted two officers, and Lin Xiu Ze could only run away in shame.
When Second Uncle Lin saw that Lin Xiu Ze didn't ask for the cart, he angrily said, "Useless thing, are you trying to tire your father to death?"
Then, he looked at his daughter, Lin Jingshu, and said, "Jingshu, go talk to Lin Zhiyi and see if she can give us the cart. Besides, you and her have a close relationship."
Lin Jingshu was a little reluctant, "Dad, I'm afraid it would be useless even if I went."
She didn't think Lin Zhiyi would be so easy to talk to.
Uncle Lin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "If she won't give it to me, then you can find a way. Others can raise daughters so that I can ride in a carriage, but you two are so ungrateful. You want to tire me to death. What's the point of raising you?"
"If the cart doesn't come, don't follow it anymore."
Although Lin Jingshu was reluctant, since her father had spoken, she had to get up and go find Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi's carriage was moving very slowly. At the end of the exile team, Lin Jingshu lagged behind by a few steps, waiting for Lin Zhiyi to come over.
"Cousin."
Lin Zhiyi smiled distantly, "What do you want from me?"
"Um, Zhizhi, I apologize on Ze'er's behalf for what he did before."
"If you have anything to say, you might as well just say it directly."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lin Jingshu's face. "Zhizhi, now that you have a carriage, you don't need that cart anymore, right?"
"It's useful."
Lin Zhiyi is simple and neat.
Lin Jingshu's ears turned red, and there was a hint of embarrassment on her face. "Cousin Zhizhi, do you have any misunderstandings about me?"
"No."
"The cart?"
"Big brother is using the cart. Lu'er and Zheng'er are still young and move slowly. With this cart, big brother can pull the two children along."
Seeing that Lin Zhiyi was so difficult to talk to, Lin Jingshu was afraid that she would not be able to communicate with her, so she had no choice but to call out to the carriage, "Uncle."
Lin Fu stuck his head out and asked, "Jingshu, what's going on?"
"Uncle, grandma is old, and it's too tiring for my father and uncle to carry her on their backs. We'd like to borrow your cart."
Lin Fu looked at Lin Zhiyi and said, "About this, just ask Zhizhi."
After saying this, Lin Fu lowered the car curtain, separating Lin Zhiyi and Lin Jingshu outside.
"Don't waste your energy, cousin. I heard that when you were in prison, you went to deliver food to the second wife. Lu'er was so hungry that she called your aunt and asked you for a bite to eat. What did you say? Have you forgotten so quickly?"
Lin Zhiyi showed a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"You called her a jinx, saying that everyone in our first-house family is a jinx and only deserves to eat shit. Lu'er is only four years old, how could you say such a thing? She still calls you aunt, do you deserve it?"
"Besides, our eldest wife and you have long since severed ties, so please don't bother us again in the future."
Lin Jingshu's cheeks flushed and she ran away in panic.
She did say this to satisfy her own desire, but she didn't expect it to backfire on her.
Lin Jingshu returned to the second house's team in a mess.
When Uncle Lin saw that she didn't ask for the cart, and his mother on his back was still cursing and shouting that she was tired, he couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Lin Jingshu, cursing her for being useless.
Lin Jingshu's eyes were filled with anger: My dear sister, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ungrateful!
When Lin Zhiyi saw this scene, he just smiled and said nothing.
The sun gradually rose higher, and in the blink of an eye it was noon.
The exile team only stopped for an incense stick of time.
They were afraid that the weather would get hotter and hotter and they would be too hot to walk, so they planned to travel further while the weather was cooler these few days.
For lunch, the officers still gave the prisoners black-faced steamed buns.
Lin Zhiyi took out meat patties from the carriage and distributed them to the Lin family and Li Wenjing and his servant.
She poured a basin of water from the bucket in the carriage and gave it to the horse that was grazing on the roadside to drink. Then she got on the carriage and started eating the meat pie.
“This meat pie tastes terrible.”
Lin Zhiyi muttered.
I bought some meat patties on the roadside while walking today. I wanted them to be my lunch. I didn’t expect them to taste so bad.
She looked at the Lin family. Lu'er only took a bite and didn't want to eat anymore. She looked at Lin Zhiyi pitifully, as if asking: Aunt, Lu'er wants to eat something delicious.
"Lu'er, eat the meat pie first. Your aunt will make you braised pork tonight."
When Luer heard about the braised pork, her expression immediately relaxed, "Great, we're going to have braised pork tonight. Auntie is going to make it."
Others also looked over.
They also want to eat braised pork.
The last time Lin Zhiyi stewed chicken, even the Jinwu Guards said it was delicious, so it must be really delicious.
A lady stepped forward and couldn't help asking, "Miss Lin, if you can make an extra bowl of the braised pork you mentioned, we can pay for it."
"Two taels of silver for a bowl of braised pork and two bowls of white rice. Madam, would you like to buy some?"
The lady was slightly startled.
Two taels of silver is too expensive.
Pork costs twenty-five cents a pound in the market, and ten taels of silver can buy half a pig.
But think about it the other way around, being able to eat braised pork in this remote area and occasionally spending a couple of taels to satisfy your craving is acceptable.
Miss Lin’s cooking skills are so good that if she were to eat a dish like this in a big restaurant in the capital, it might be even more expensive than this.
Thinking of this, the lady said, "I'll buy it, I'll buy it. Then please ask Miss Lin to make one more bowl."
With this lady taking the lead, people came one after another to buy the braised pork.
In a short while, Lin Zhiyi actually sold twenty bowls, which was forty taels of silver.
Lin Zhiyi was secretly happy. This business was really easy to do.
The carriage curtain was opened to allow Lin Fu to breathe.
Li Wenjing's eyes fell on Lin Zhiyi again and stayed there for a moment.
Then he retracted his gaze and said, "Master Lin has truly given birth to a good daughter."
Lin Fu liked to hear this and said modestly, "Zhizhi is just a little clever, not worth mentioning."
This was something Lin Fu had not expected.
The Lin family fell into trouble, but the most spoiled daughter in the family supported the entire family.
Without her, I'm afraid...
