"It's alright, we have a new store too!"
Lin Laosan spoke casually, but secretly he was calculating the costs in his mind.
Goods are constantly being supplied, directly transferred from the space, reducing shipping costs and delivery time, so their earning speed won't be slow.
Lin Li ignored Lin Laosan's ulterior motives. After quickly putting the ledger away, she asked Xu Ting to take Duoduo, who was sleeping in the corner of the counter, back first.
"Come open the door early tomorrow. Lin Laosan and I will load the goods up as soon as they arrive tonight."
Xu Ting walked up to Luo Duoduo, saw her head tilted to the side, sleeping soundly and feeling uncomfortable, and gently picked her up.
"Okay, then I'll come to open the shop earlier tomorrow!"
Luo Duoduo felt someone holding her. She squinted and saw that it was her mother. She immediately grabbed her mother's clothes with her little hands and fell into a deep sleep again.
Xu Ting looked at her sleeping face, kissed her affectionately, and nodded to Lin Li and her son before leaving.
After Xu Ting left, Lin Li transferred the goods from her spatial storage.
Lin Laosan immediately started loading the goods. The two worked together seamlessly and finished loading the goods an hour later.
After the goods in the warehouse were neatly stacked, the mother and son rode their bicycles back home.
The February evening breeze was chilly, but it couldn't dampen their passionate hearts.
Before they knew it, it was time for the two of them to start school.
After inspecting the two stores in Beijing, the mother and son handed them over to Xu Ting and Xu Yue, and then simply let go of the business.
Lin Li's personnel policy has always been: if you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them.
This includes Wang Jianguo and Gao Zhe from Shenzhen.
With the pharmaceutical factory's license approved, Lin Li deposited all the money in her account into the factory's account, except for 10,000 yuan which she kept to buy sewing machines for the village.
She only gave Gao Zhe the skincare product formula and approval documents, and entrusted him with all subsequent tasks such as recruitment, production, and sales.
He gave the money for the sewing machines to Wang Jianguo and asked him to help find a machinery factory to order 70 to 80 sewing machines and ship them directly to the village.
After settling their business in Shenzhen and Beijing, the mother and son went to Tsinghua University and Beijing University, respectively, to report for duty.
School days passed quickly and peacefully.
Lin Laosan's roommates still followed last year's habit and would come to the courtyard house to freeload food and drinks every weekend.
Life was uneventful, but it brought me great peace of mind.
Lin Li enjoyed these days very much, until she received a call from the village chief.
"Hello!"
Lin Li answered the newly installed telephone in the courtyard.
This was something Dr. Yu insisted she install, so that she could be contacted directly if an emergency required her assistance.
That way, we won't have to ask Dr. Wang to come to our door every time; Dr. Wang is very busy with work.
"Aunt Lin, the village's garment factory has already started operations. Our first batch of goods is almost finished, and I've found a transportation team to ship directly to Beijing. Can you arrange for them to be picked up?"
"No problem, I'll arrange it. The address is the same one I gave you last time. Just send it here."
Lin Li eventually rented the textile factory's warehouse. It was big enough to serve as a transit warehouse for the service store.
"Okay...okay, that's good!"
Lin Li sensed that the village chief seemed to have something else to say to her, so she didn't hang up and waited for him to continue.
"Sigh... There's something I've been struggling with for a long time, but I think it's better to tell you."
...
"That's right, didn't your Lin Lao Er go to jail? After his wife divorced him, she remarried."
...
"Lin Lao Er's child is having an even harder time now."
...
“Every time I bring him living expenses, I hear his grandmother beating and scolding him, and feeding him leftovers. If it weren’t for Lin Laosan asking me to give him living expenses every month, this child would probably have starved to death long ago.”
...
The village chief ignored Lin Li's reaction and continued talking.
“I know this child was ruined by his beastly parents since he was a child, but this time I can assure you, he has changed for the better.”
...
“When I went to deliver his living expenses, I overheard several times that his grandmother told him to go to you to ask for money, but he ignored her.”
...
"After being beaten badly by his maternal grandmother, he angrily retorted that it was right for his grandmother to be angry with him for how he treated her before. He said he would not go to her and cause her any trouble, and he only wanted her forgiveness."
Lin Li remembered that Lin Laosan had mentioned this matter when he went back home for the New Year, saying that the boy should have changed for the better.
What else did he do?
The village chief's voice was filled with joy and delight after hearing Lin Li's reply.
“When I went to his school to pay his tuition, I asked his teachers and classmates, and they all said that he is a good kid now. No matter how much others encourage him to go to you, he only has one sentence: I did something wrong, and it is right for Grandma not to forgive me. I will not cause her any trouble.”
Lin Li fell silent after hearing this.
"I understand! If there's nothing else, I'll hang up!"
"good……"
Upon hearing this, the village chief swallowed the words he was about to say to persuade the village chief.
Aunt Lin must have her own reasons!
Yes, Lin Li wanted to see for herself whether the child had gotten better.
She secretly used the portal to return to the village.
After climbing out of the backyard, I went to the child's maternal grandmother's house according to my memory.
Before I even got close, I could hear people cursing coming from inside.
"You ungrateful wretch, just like your father. I feed you, give you water, and ask you to do chores, and this is how you treat me? I'll beat you to death!"
Then came the sound of a whip striking skin.
Lin Li approached and saw that the child's maternal grandmother was whipping a thin boy repeatedly.
His skin was covered with old and new wounds, and traces of blood began to seep from the places where he had been whipped.
“You didn’t raise me. My tuition and living expenses were all paid by my grandma and my third uncle…”
Before the child could finish speaking, a whip lashed across his back.
The skin instantly became red and swollen, and blood began to seep from the very center.
The child bit his lip and only let out a muffled groan, his eyes filled with stubbornness.
"Mom, this child is just disobedient. I've been talking to him nicely for days, but he just won't agree to go see his grandma. I think he needs to be taught a lesson."
Lin Lao Er's ex-wife, the child's biological mother, leaned against a pillar, constantly munching on sunflower seeds, spitting the shells directly onto the ground.
"If I weren't pregnant again, I would have given this brat a good beating."
Looking at her indifferent expression, Lin Li couldn't reconcile it with the image of her running out and crying her heart out, calling "baby," after her child was kicked away at her doorstep years ago.
"Huff...huff...it's alright, you rest well, I'll teach this little bastard a lesson."
