Young Master Liu was particularly concerned about the Lin family's affairs.
He was a very warm-hearted person, especially towards the Lin family.
However, at this moment, the person in line behind struggled to peek out from behind Young Master Liu's broad and thick back, swallowed hard, and said to Lin Weiming, "Boss, please make sure my portion is extra spicy."
"Okay, okay."
Seeing this, Lin Weiming had no choice but to let Young Master Liu rest for a while, since he had to focus on the business of the store first.
Nowadays, Lin's restaurant still only operates for half a day, especially in the morning when the number of people coming to buy roasted sweet potato skins is the highest. The queue is almost comparable to the number of people who want to have their fortunes told by Lin Wanyue.
"It's alright, it's alright, Brother Lin, you go ahead with your work! I'll go check on Wanwan." Seeing that the Lin family was alright, Young Master Liu was relieved.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw that the curtain of his carriage was slightly ajar, and a reproachful gaze fell directly on him.
Young Master Liu's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly ran over, a sheepish smile full of apology on his face.
"Baozhu, please forgive your brother! I completely forgot! I'll take you to play with Wanwan right now, okay?" Young Master Liu said apologetically to the little girl in the carriage.
The young girl in the carriage was none other than Liu Baozhu, the only daughter of the Liu family and the eldest young master's younger sister.
Liu Baozhu was only nine years old, still a child. When she saw that her older brother had forgotten about her, she couldn't help but snort unhappily and then turned her little face away.
But when she heard that she would be able to see her savior, Wanwan, she turned her face back and let her brother help her down from the carriage.
It was only then that Young Master Liu noticed that there were two queues outside Lin's Restaurant. One queue was for buying food from Lin Weiming, while the other was for Lin Wanyue.
Young Master Liu and Liu Baozhu exchanged glances, then quietly peeked over.
It turned out that Lin Wanyue, a little girl who was only four years old, was actually telling fortunes by reading people's palms, and judging from her posture, she seemed to be speaking very knowledgeably.
The little girl sat on a small stool, looking like a soft, milky white dumpling, and her voice was soft, sweet, and clear.
But the things she says somehow make people believe them.
Especially seeing the people in front of them nodding incessantly, those waiting in line to give money became even more determined to give it away today!
Otherwise, we'll have to wait until tomorrow to queue up.
Although this little girl is young, her fortune-telling skills are incredibly accurate; you probably can't find another one like her in the entire county!
"Wow~" Liu Baozhu watched from the side, her eyes shining with envy. She smiled and said to Liu Dashao, "Brother, Wanwan is so amazing! She's so young, yet she can already make money by telling fortunes! I haven't earned a single penny for my family yet... But she can make money at such a young age. I have to learn from Wanwan and earn more money for her in the future."
Young Master Liu: "..."
As he listened, he felt as if several arrows had been stabbed into his heart.
He was older than his younger sister and Lin Wanyue combined, but his father's only expectation of him was that he wouldn't lose too much money.
Forget about making money.
"I think..." Young Master Liu comforted his younger sister, "Sister, don't think about making money for now. Our parents just hope you can marry into a good family and live a good life. Leave the money-making to me. When I make money, I'll make it into your dowry."
Liu Baozhu was already a young girl who was half-sensible. When she heard words like marriage and dowry, she blushed and nudged her brother with her elbow, saying shyly, "Brother, don't talk nonsense!"
"Alright, alright, I won't talk nonsense anymore. Let's go ahead and talk to Sister Wanwan." Young Master Liu tried to pull his sister forward.
Liu Baozhu stood there, refusing to back down: "We came here to help people. If we couldn't help, that's fine. But how can we interfere with Wanwan's business? Let's wait a little longer."
Since his sister said so, Young Master Liu didn't say much. He just went to a nearby shop and borrowed two stools. He then sat with Liu Baozhu under the shade of a tree and watched Lin Wanyue tell fortunes for others.
Fortune telling, well, besides being a way to make money, is something else entirely.
You can also hear a lot of gossip from other people.
Young Master Liu and Liu Baozhu listened with great interest, and didn't forget to instruct their servants to go and queue up to buy some roasted sweet potato skins. The two of them ate while listening.
Before you know it, the whole morning is over.
…
Lin Weiming sold out the hundreds of roasted sweet potato skins he had prepared yesterday and packed up his things.
There were still quite a few people queuing up for fortune telling at Lin Wanyue's place, but Lin Wanyue didn't indulge them. When her father and grandmother finished their work, she also finished hers.
"Hey, hey." Young Master Liu quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Lin and Auntie Lin have sold a lot of things today and must be tired after a long day. And Sister Wanwan, since we're here today, let's take our carriage over. It'll be cheaper."
Lin Weiming and the others already understood Liu Dashao's personality, so they did not refuse.
A carriage isn't very big, and Lin Weiming felt embarrassed to squeeze in with a young girl like Liu Baozhu, so he let the three women ride in the carriage while he and Young Master Liu sat outside talking.
Young Master Liu asked quietly, "Brother Lin, did you really beat up the Jiang family? They're the local bullies in our county, not easy to mess with."
"Don't worry, their family has already recognized us as godparents, so they probably won't come looking for trouble again." Lin Weiming felt a headache coming on when he thought about how Mr. Jiang, at his advanced age, could shamelessly call him "Grandpa."
But it's also kind of fun!
While the people outside were talking, Liu Baozhu, inside the carriage, took out a small necklace wrapped in a handkerchief from her purse and gave it to Lin Wanyue.
Liu Baozhu said shyly, "This Yingluo was given to me by my maternal grandmother. I'm too old to take care of it now, so Wanwan, why don't you try taking it? If you like it, you can keep it. If you don't like it, I'll get you a different one."
Lin Wanyue had little resistance to these beautiful pieces of jewelry, but she also thought the handkerchief Liu Baozhu had taken out was very exquisite and beautiful. "Was this handkerchief also embroidered by Sister Xi?"
"Yes." Liu Baozhu nodded: "My mother hired an embroiderer from outside to teach me how to embroider. I'm not very good at it, but I have to learn first if I want to make embroidered clothes."
Liu Junlan held Lin Wanyue in her arms and asked with some curiosity, "You're still so young, and your family has already arranged a marriage for you?"
