Chapter 127 The purpose of the salesman
The next day, Lihua Village started another busy day, and the whole village became busy again.

Everyone was overjoyed and felt that life was heading forward.

The wedding money was given out yesterday, and in a few days the salary will arrive, and I have money in my hand again.

At that time, you can buy a few more kilograms of meat and a few more feet of cloth to make clothes for your family.There is delicious food and drink, and the days are beautiful!

The salesman's rattle shook, "dong dong dong".

The children who finally saved a few pennies ran out to buy candies and some gadgets.

Qin Yuyao, who was doing needlework, heard the sound of drums and was pricked on her finger.

The pain on her fingers brought her back to consciousness quickly. She put her fingers to her lips and sucked lightly, feeling a little panicked.

I wonder why that person came here?

The rattle outside kept shaking, as if urging Qin Yuyao.

Qin Yuyao had no choice but to get up, take some money, and buy needlework.

Li Changhuan was practicing calligraphy. When he saw Qin Yuyao going out, he hurriedly asked: "Yuyao, where are you going?"

"I'm almost running out of silk thread. I'm going to buy some." Qin Yuyao tried to be calm and didn't let Li Changhuan see her panic.

"Then I'll go too." Li Changhuan still remembered his mother's instructions, "I'm almost out of silk thread. Buy more. I want to make a pair of shoes for my mother."

Qin Yuyao was flustered, but she couldn't refuse Li Changhuan to follow.

When he got outside, the salesman saw Qin Yuyao coming out, his eyes flashed slightly, and he was about to speak, but when he saw Li Changhuan behind Qin Yuyao, he had to swallow what he was about to say.

"Girls, I have fine silk thread here, do you need it?" the salesman greeted enthusiastically, "By the way, I also have some nice patterns here."

The salesman said as he handed the pattern book to Qin Yuyao.

Qin Yuyao guessed that there must be something in the notebook, so she reached out to take it, and while Li Changhuan was selecting the silk thread, she took out a piece of paper from it and stuffed it into her sleeve.

"This plum blossom is pretty good!" Qin Yuyao took out a plum blossom pattern and returned the rest to the seller.

Li Changhuan said while picking the silk thread: "Yuyao, this silk thread is good, even better than last time. I've picked it, you pick it quickly. By the way, here are the patterns, show me."

The salesman had just checked and found that the piece of paper was gone. He smiled and said, "This is from the capital. It is fashionable and the sales are very good. Girl, if you like it, buy a few more."

"Okay!" Li Changhuan picked a pot of lotus and thought it was good.

Without saying any more words, Qin Yuyao paid the money and went back.

Li Changhuan's eyes were full of doubts. Didn't his mother say there was something wrong with this salesman?But Qin Yuyao and the salesman didn't say anything strange or make any small moves.

How on earth do they deliver the message?What message is conveyed?

Li Changhuan was puzzled!
After coming back, Qin Yuyao took out the note while Li Changhuan was out. When she saw it, she held her breath nervously and her face became paler.

It actually asked for drawings of spinning wheels and looms. I would get the drawings in three days.

Not to mention that she didn't know how to do carpentry, even if she followed the example, she might not be able to complete the painting.

In addition, Aunt Yue had people do some mechanical protection on key parts.

Once opened, some parts inside will be damaged.

She didn't want to hurt the Li family and the Li family, but now she had to act.

After reading it, Qin Yuyao came to the kitchen and threw the note directly into the briquette stove, where it slowly turned into ashes.

Li Changhuan was always there, and Qin Yuyao had no time to draw.

Three days later, the salesman came again.

"Where are the drawings?" The salesman smiled, as if he was greeting business enthusiastically, but what he said made Qin Yuyao nervous.Qin Yuyao lowered her head, choosing tricks to defend herself.

"Li Changhuan has been with me all the time. I don't have time to draw drawings. In addition, although I can see the spinning wheel and loom, the key parts inside are protected by mechanisms and will break as soon as they are opened. I can't see inside. Even if I can give you the drawings , it’s just what it looks like on the outside, I don’t know what’s going on inside.”

The salesman's eyes were unkind, "Even if it's the appearance, you have to draw it. Of course, it would be better if you could draw all the drawings inside."

Qin Yuyao replied in a low voice: "I will try my best."

The salesman looked at Qin Yuyao who seemed to be out of control, "Miss Qin, don't forget your grandfather. Without the care of the master, your grandfather might..."

Qin Yuyao's heart skipped a beat. She had a bad suspicion that if she didn't do things well, maybe that person would hurt her grandfather.

"If there is anything wrong with my grandfather, I will risk my life and surrender directly to Major General Huo."

If her grandfather was gone, why would she still do these things of stealing and hurting good people?
The salesman looked startled and was about to get angry when he saw Li Changhuan and another woman of thirteen or fourteen years old walking out.

Wen Xiaolan has a delicate mind and is much smarter than Li Changhuan.

She felt that something was wrong with the salesman and Qin Yuyao, but she didn't know what was wrong.

"Yu Yao, have you picked it out?" Wen Xiaolan asked quietly, smiling lightly, "You are good at embroidery. Help me pick out some silk thread. I want to make two pairs of shoes."

Qin Yuyao nodded, "Okay! Do you want to wear it yourself, or do it for others?"

"Wear them yourself." Wen Xiaolan replied, "I'm not good at craftsmanship, so the shoes I make now will definitely not look good. I'll leave them to myself. When I've perfected my craftsmanship, I can make them for my wife."

"Then I'll choose bright colors for you." Qin Yuyao said while choosing silk thread for Wen Xiaolan.

After buying a lot of silk thread, the seller couldn't stay here any longer, so he continued walking through the villages and alleys, carrying his burden and shaking his rattle.

After putting down the silk thread, Wen Xiaolan went to work in the workshop.

Li Xiaoyue also packed up, followed closely by Wen Xiaolan.

After leaving the house, Wen Xiaolan whispered: "Madam, there was something wrong with that salesman just now, and Yuyao, is there something wrong with her?"

Li Xiaoyue's eyes showed surprise, "What did you find?"

Wen Xiaolan thought about it for a moment, "First of all, I found that the items in the seller's basket were exactly the same as three days ago. Yuyao had bought things three days ago, and today she went to the seller's stall again, which was a bit frequent."

"In addition, I just saw the way the seller looked at Yuyao. It was not the eager look of a small businessman trying to please the buyer, but a look that showed evil and even a little angry."

Li Xiaoyue was shocked. In just two times, Wen Xiaolan discovered something fishy between Qin Yuyao and the salesman, "If they have problems, what is their purpose?"

Wen Xiaolan scratched her head, her eyes a little confused, "You are so kind to Yuyao, if she encounters difficulties, she can ask you for help."

"She didn't choose to confess, and I was a little confused. Apart from the spinning wheels and looms, and the Dongshan Military Camp, I can't think of any other reasons now."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyue smiled, "Your analysis makes sense, but Qin Yuyao is the granddaughter of my father's old friend and entrusted us to take care of her."

"Even if her behavior is inappropriate, we can't act rashly. Now that you've found out, just keep an eye on Yuyao for me, okay?"

Wen Xiaolan's expression was a bit solemn and she nodded, "Don't worry, madam, I will watch carefully."

Qin Yuyao and Li Changhuan were arranged by Li Xiaoyue in the dyeing workshop and did not go to the spinning workshop.

Ever since she learned that spinning wheels and looms could be sold for 10 taels of silver, Mrs. Li took a very close look at them and would not let anyone in except those in the workshop.

Qin Yuyao had seen a spinning wheel before and could draw cats and tigers.I drew a drawing that looked almost exactly like a spinning wheel and gave it to the salesman.

After getting the drawings, the salesman was very happy and left happily.

Based on the clues she saw, Wen Xiaolan reported to Li Xiaoyue, "Madam, that salesman's target is spinning wheels and looms."

"Ma'am, what should we do?"
