Chapter 709
Chapter 709
Xia Zheng wasn't there, Lin Yuan wasn't there, and being forced by Eunuch Chang's endless nagging, Zhao Hongyan had no choice but to set off early the next morning to return to Beijing.
It was not easy for Zhuma Town to have a prince. As the county magistrate, Li Chang was of course honored. He wished that Zhao Hongyan could stay in Zhuma Town forever.As soon as he heard that Zhao Hongyan was leaving, he came over before dawn and waited.
When it comes to leaving, Zhao Hongyan is really reluctant. From the entrance of Fumanlou to the carriage, the short distance of a few steps has dragged on for a long time, and even Xiao Linshuang couldn't stand it anymore.
"I said, Your Highness, if you want to leave, you should leave quickly. If you don't want to leave, you can say it heartily. Didn't you see so many people watching you? You really think that you are here to exhibit." Is it?"
Looking at Xiao Linshuang's dissatisfied and pouting appearance, Zhao Hongyan was immediately amused, looked up at the signboard of Fumanlou, and sighed regretfully: "Hey, I ran this trip in vain. I didn't see Big Brother Xia. Forget it, it’s a great pity in life that I didn’t even taste the culinary skills of my new owner!”
Xiao Linshuang curled her lips and comforted: "What a pity, I didn't intend to comfort you. In fact, the cooking skills of this new owner are not good at all! Don't think that the shopkeeper of Fumanlou is my grandfather, but I am Well, it doesn’t matter who you are, the new owner’s workmanship is extremely bad. If it weren’t for her being the owner, no one dared to offend her, and would have kicked her out a long time ago! Just last time, I had to let her eat her Guess what happened to the soup I made? It caused me to have diarrhea for half a month! Oh, it really hurt me!"
Eunuch Chang pursed his lips and snickered, this little girl is really a ghost, if he hadn't realized that she and the new owner are sisters, he would really have been deceived by her.
He couldn't fool Eunuch Chang, an old man, but Zhao Hongyan was more than enough.
Zhao Hongyan frowned, and looked at Xiao Linshuang sympathetically: "It's really hard for you, you still have to be bullied by the boss at such a young age. Hey! It's all the third brother's fault, who lied to me that the new boss's cooking skills are good, hehe , See if I go back and don't settle accounts with him!"
Xiao Linshuang smiled dryly, and said that this little prince is really easy to deceive, even his own brother would not believe him, but actually believed her!
Xiao Linshuang clasped his hands together silently, and repented in his heart: I didn't mean to lie to you, but if I told you the truth, you would definitely make my eldest sister work hard to cook. I really can't bear to see my eldest sister suffer. That said, don't blame me, don't blame me.
Zhao Hongyan gave up his heart, and finally got into the carriage, but just as he entered, he opened the curtain and shouted at Xiao Linshuang: "Little girl, don't you really want to go back to Beijing with me? There are so many delicious and interesting things in the capital. Let you linger!"
Xiao Linshuang had heard Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng talk about going to the capital next year, but she didn't think she and Zhao Hongyan were very close friends, so she didn't tell him about it.
Hearing that Zhao Hongyan was inviting her again, Xiao Linshuang waved her hands, shook her head and said, "No, no, I still have to go to school! How can I go to school after I go to the capital? My parents know that I only know how to play all day long, and don't make progress. , will definitely whip my ass with the sole of my shoe!"
cough cough.Eunuch Chang was amused by her sentence of using the soles of her shoes to pump her ass. This little girl is so vulgar, and she doesn't know what her eldest sister is like. The second son of the Xia family can actually fall in love with such a woman. It's really unique!
"You're right. Going to school is the most important thing. Eating, drinking and having fun are nothing but business."
Xiao Linshuang's nonsense excuse once again convinced Zhao Hongyan, "Since this is the case, I won't force it. You should study hard. If you have the opportunity to go to the capital in the future, you must go to me. Oh, by the way, this is for you, take this and go At the gate of the palace, those guards will not dare to stop you."
As he said that, Zhao Hongyan took off the jade pendant on his waist and gave it to Xiao Linshuang.
Although Xiao Linshuang is young, she knows a lot of characters, but she really doesn't know the characters on this jade pendant.
She tilted her head and looked at the jade pendant carefully for a while, then read: "Huo Huo Huo? Is this your name? Why is it so ugly? The person who gave you the name must have stuttered, right? Haha."
Eunuch Chang's face turned dark immediately, since this girl doesn't know how to read, don't read it brazenly!
Zhao Hongyan was also amused by her, and said with a smile: "That's not Huo Huo Huo, but a word, Yan, my name."
It turned out that I mispronounced it, Xiao Linshuang blinked and smiled: "Haha, of course I know, I was joking with you, hehe."
Looking at the innocent and cute appearance of this little girl, Zhao Hongyan liked it but also hated it. He really wanted her to go to the capital with him, but when he thought that her home was here, he was really reluctant to let her leave him. relatives.
After deliberating for a while, he finally didn't say anything about letting her go to the capital.
Eunuch Chang glanced at Xiao Linshuang with deep meaning: "Is your presbyopic cat dazzled and deaf? Old friends are gone and won't come out to give them away?"
Xiao Linshuang blinked and continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb: "Old friend? Father-in-law, do you have a presbyopic cat too? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"
"Our family doesn't have one, but our family will have one soon." Eunuch Chang's mouth twitched. This little girl is really hard to deal with, just like that old thing.
"go!"
Accompanied by Eunuch Chang's chanting, the guards drove away in a mighty carriage, and of course Li Chang was escorted by the yamen servants in the yamen.
But before he left, Li Chang came up to Xiao Linshuang with a flattering smile, showing all his yellow teeth: "Miss Xiaolin, this jade pendant can neither be eaten nor drunk, so it's so boring for you to keep it! How about it, You sell it to me, I will give you money, and you can go buy delicious food and drink."
Taking advantage of Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng's absence, Li Chang used Xiao Linshuang's idea to trick the jade pendant into his hands first, and at worst he would dump Lin Yuan and the others when they came looking for them.This is the prince's property, holding it in his hand is guaranteed to honor his ancestors.
Looking at Li Chang's eyes, Xiao Linshuang was very annoyed, but she said with a smile on her face, "What Master Li said is true, then, how much money do you plan to use to buy this jade pendant?"
The big fish took the bait, and Li Chang smiled even more happily: "This jade pendant is just made of ordinary material, and it's not worth much. But since it's a girl, you must have something in your hand. How about it, a How about two taels of silver? This is the highest, if it were someone else, they wouldn’t even give you half of the taels of silver!”
A tael of silver!This Li Chang is too dark!
The shopkeeper Liu on the side rolled his eyes fiercely, but he was so smart that he didn't help at all. Xiao Linshuang's head was full of ghost ideas. If Li Chang was deceived, it would be a real hell!
Xiao Linshuang looked at the jade pendant in his hand, raised his big watery eyes, and asked very reluctantly: "Such a big jade pendant is only worth a tael of silver?"
Li Chang was ruthless: "Well then, I'll give you half a tael of silver, how about it? It can't be any more, it won't be worth it."
As he said that, Li Chang also skillfully made a heartbroken expression, which made shopkeeper Liu call out his superb acting skills.
Xiao Linshuang hesitated for a long time and finally agreed, spread her small hands, and said very seriously: "Here is 15 taels of silver, Mr. Li, I want ten of these jade pendants. That young man is too stingy, so he gave me one. But my family still has parents, older sister, second sister and younger brother, oh yes, there are three pigs and two sheep raised by my second sister, and a big cage of little rabbits. Tsk tsk, let me do the math, oops, such a Even ten are not enough! Master Li, how many of these things do you have, do you have twenty? Hey, Master Li, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? Huh? Don't go, you haven't agreed yet I'm selling the jade pendant!"
As soon as Zhao Hongyan's team left Fumanlou, Lin Yi drove the carriage back from the opposite direction.
Seeing Xia Zheng happily jumping off the carriage, Xiao Linshuang pouted and snorted disdainfully: "Yo, brother-in-law, you are really on time! You came only after your good friend left, your speed is really extraordinary slow, the tortoise is faster than you!"
Xia Zheng glanced at her, this little girl was calling him a coward!
Lin Yuan then got out of the carriage, raised her hand and tapped the little girl's forehead, and said angrily, "How do you talk, it's not big or small!"
Xiao Linshuang pouted and threw herself into Lin Yuan's arms: "Sister, how are you? Does your stomach still hurt?"
Xiao Linshuang hadn't returned to Linjia'ao these days, so she didn't know that Lin Yuan's stomach pain had long since ceased.
Lin Yuan fondled her little face and said with a smile, "It's all right, big sister doesn't hurt anymore."
On the other hand, Xia Zheng spotted the jade pendant in Xiao Linshuang's hand with sharp eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, that little thing even gave you a gift? Isn't it simple!"
Hearing him ask about the jade pendant, Xiao Linshuang held the jade pendant tightly and glared at him: "Want it? No! Coward!"
The corner of Xia Zheng's mouth twitched, pointing at Lao Fan who was leisurely going downstairs, he said: "If you want to say coward, it should be this person!"
Lao Fan didn't come out of the room all night, until Zhao Hongyan's carriage went a long way, he was relieved and went downstairs with ease, happily even curling up his gray beard.
Xiao Linshuang snorted, thinking that yesterday he was alone facing that old fox, Eunuch Chang, and he couldn't help thinking of playing a prank.
"Oh, Eunuch Chang, why did you come back suddenly? What, are you not leaving? Are you going to wait here for your old friend to come back?"
boom!
Before Xiao Linshuang finished speaking, he heard that the stool that Lao Fan was sitting on had been overturned to the ground, and Lao Fan had already covered his head with his robe and got under the table...
Beijing.
Zhao Hongsheng dismissed the spies with a wave of his hand, and said indifferently: "Xiao Liu'er is just a child, and he was spoiled by Concubine Tian since he was a child, so it's not a problem. It's the third child."
Zhao Hongsheng slammed his fist on the table, which made the cups on the table jingle: "I actually persuaded my father to let him take charge of this year's scientific examination. In this way, all the rookies in this year's court have become his." Proud assistant, it's really cheap for him!"
"Your Highness, don't worry too much." It was a middle-aged man who spoke, his voice was hoarse, and there was a sense of gloom when he laughed, "Although the third prince is in charge of this year's scientific examination, your highness is in charge of the Imperial Business Competition. ?"
Zhao Hongsheng frowned, not paying attention: "Imperial businessman? Huh, what's the use! Mr. Xu probably thinks that he can make something out of this imperial business competition?"
"Your Highness's words are wrong." The man called Mr. Xu twitched his lips. Even Zhao Hongsheng, who had been with him for a long time, still felt very uncomfortable when he saw this so-called smiling expression.
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you think there is anything in the world that cannot be bought with silver? No, so, confidants, you can also buy with silver."
Zhao Hongsheng narrowed his eyes, then clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Wonderful! Haha, as long as you have money, are you afraid that those rookies will not be used by me? Mister is really wise!"
Mr. Xu kept his hands in his sleeves all the time, even if Zhao Hongsheng praised him, he didn't reach out to return the salute, but just bowed slightly.
But Zhao Hongsheng was not dissatisfied because of this, and was still very happy: "Sir, there is no need to be too polite, by the way, hurry up and send a letter to Tang Zhifu, let Tang Ruyan go to Beijing immediately, and she will assist in taking care of the imperial business competition." gone."
Mr. Xu nodded: "With Miss Tang's intelligence, it is more than enough to take care of this competition. But Your Highness, please forgive me for talking too much. Although Miss Tang is smart and beautiful, she is really not the best candidate for His Highness's concubine. I hope His Highness think twice."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongsheng smiled coldly: "Tang Ruyan is indeed smart, but it's a pity that her background is not high. Don't worry, sir, this prince knows it well."
Regarding Zhao Hongsheng's answer, Xu Bin had already come to a conclusion in his heart. How can a person who makes a big deal be fettered by his son and daughter's affair?He chose to follow Zhao Hongsheng at the beginning because he took advantage of his cold temperament. Anyone who is beneficial to him can take advantage of him.
Of course, he will not show mercy to those who are against him.
Now that he has decided to take good care of the matter of the Imperial Merchant Competition, it is natural to know some of the inside information.
Xu Bin still hid his hands in his sleeves, twitched the corners of his mouth, and let out a loud laugh: "Your Highness, a few days ago, the Jiangnan Wu family sent someone here."
"Oh?" Zhao Hongsheng frowned, becoming interested: "The Wu family in Jiangnan? I heard that there are two famous families in Jiangnan, both of which are famous for their embroidery. One is the Wu family and the other is the Chen family."
Xu Bin nodded and continued: "Exactly, both of these two have their own unique embroidery skills, and they have been indistinguishable for hundreds of years. When competing for the imperial business, they are even more incompatible with each other."
"I remember, in the past few years, it was the Chen family who won the competition, right?"
Xu Bin nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's why the Wu family can't wait to honor His Highness."
Zhao Hongsheng was very happy, he laughed and said, "This Wu family has a bit of a mind. How about the Chen family?"
"The Chen family?" Xu Bin thought for a while, and only said four words: "Too honest."
Too straight?
Zhao Hongsheng frowned slightly, only to hear Xu Bin continue: "This generation of the Patriarch of the Chen family is upright, and his behavior is too upright. And Mrs. Chen, although she is jealous, is an extremely intelligent woman. Don't look at her arbitrariness in the inner house. It's even a little unreasonable, but it's absolutely unambiguous to the outside world."
This may be the reason why the Chen family has been slightly better than the Wu family over the years.
"Such a Chen family is not easy to buy."
Zhao Hongsheng shook his head, and seemed to understand why the Wu family came to curry favor with him in such a hurry: "Since someone is rushing to give us money, how can there be any reason to refuse us?"
Xu Bin also said: "That's exactly the case. The Wu family's wealth is not comparable to that of the An family. With the Wu family's big treasury, we don't have to worry about the lack of funds for us to buy people's hearts in the future. Your Highness, my subordinates congratulate Your Highness in advance for being a great treasure. "
Zhao Hongsheng laughed wildly: "If my Highness ascends to the Great Treasure, I will definitely not treat Mr. Xu badly, haha."
Since Xiao Linzi left, the children in the tofu shop became more and more diligent, waiting for Xiao Linzi to show him when he came back.And Lanhua has also made an engagement with Xiao Ma, and they are waiting to get married in the coming year.
Daohuaxiang's business is also on the right track. Uncle Wang is becoming more and more proficient as an accountant. In view of his health, Lin Yuan is also willing to let him take charge of the accountant.
And when Fifth Sister Bai was about to give birth, her husband couldn't bear her running back and forth in the freezing weather, so he took her home to wait for delivery.
This is Fifth Sister Bai's first child, so it is naturally more expensive.And after giving birth, there is no time to go out to work again, so there is one less person in Daohuaxiang's kitchen, which makes Lin Yuan a little headache.
Fortunately, the big voice is well managed, and it can last for a while without one person. Moreover, Daohuaxiang's business is getting better and better, and sooner or later it will need to recruit more people, so Lin Yuan plans to wait until after the new year to start again. hiring.
In Zhuma Town, Lin Yuan didn't need to worry about it, but Lin Jia'ao was always in trouble.Since the incident of Lin Jiazhong guarding himself and stealing happened, Lin Jiaxiao and Li Feng'e have come to an end.
After Mrs. Ma exposed the scandal between Li Feng'e and the old bachelor in the village that day, Li Feng'e also revealed the matter of Lin Jiaxiao raising a foreign room in the town. Can't go on anymore.
Li Feng'e was beaten up by Lin Jiaxiao, and Li Feng'e's natal brothers came to the door the next day, talking about things, of course including the son of the aunt who was the nun by Jin's side.
Speaking of which, it was thanks to this cousin that Lin Jiaxiao got together with that concubine.If he hadn't introduced Lin Jiaxiao to work as a thug in the brothel, there would have been no way for the two of them to have met.
So after Lin Jiaxiao grew up with Li Feng'e, this cousin was the first one who refused to agree, and brought someone to find him.
Although Li Feng'e gave him a cuckold, Lin Jiaxiao was the first to engage in women outside, and he had no brothers to help him besides himself, so he hid early.
The Li family was in vain, and the cousin couldn't get angry. He picked up a stick and smashed the pot in the Lin family's house, shouting: "This bastard! It must be at that little bitch! Come on, I know where they are hiding Just right, smashed that vixen's face!"
As soon as this remark came out, the Li family immediately went to the town under his leadership, and they blocked Lin Jiaxiao who was discussing with a woman and running away in a small alley.
The Li family yelled, beat and kicked Lin Jiaxiao, and that woman was stripped naked and covered in feces!
Not only that, but also messed up the house they rented.
Because Li Feng'e's aunt is the dowry mother of the county magistrate's wife, Lin Jiaxiao and Lin Jiaxiao are determined to suffer from the dumbness.
After beating the two of them, half of the anger in Li Feng'e's stomach was released. Anyway, they would not be able to pass by together. The only remaining piece of land was sold, and the money he got was naturally put into his own pocket.
As for the three houses, Li Feng'e thought about her two sons who hadn't grown up yet, so she didn't go too far.
As for the two sons, Li Feng'e actually didn't want any of them.Even though the two sons hugged her thigh and cried with tears and snot running down their noses, they walked away cruelly without looking back.
Yang felt sorry for her grandson and wanted to reconcile the two of them, but how can they turn back now?I could only hold the two motherless children and cry.
As for Lin Jiaxiao, it is even more disgusting. Li Feng'e doesn't care about his sons, and he doesn't care even more. After being beaten up by the Li family, he sold the three houses in the family, and left Zhuma Town overnight with the money and that little bitch. , never came back.
What Lin Jiaxiao did made the villagers very disdainful, even worse than the big Qiangzi back then!
Now the two children have no mother, no father, and no house to live in. Mrs. Yang brought back the two children under three years old. An old lady takes care of the children during the day and tears her face at night. It is really pitiful .
The old couple broke up, and the old family is dying soon. Lin Yongcheng is really dying, and he is so thin that he can't walk anymore.Recently, he can't even eat anymore, and has been babbling drowsily.
Ma once cried and went to his mouth to listen to what he said, and after listening for a long time, he barely realized that he wanted to eat Wushi powder.
This time, Mrs. Ma was even more heartbroken, slumped on the ground and cried out of breath, crying again and again, if he had been able to help his son get rid of Wushisan addiction back then, maybe it would not be like this now up.
On the other hand, Lin Jiazhong seemed to have seen through the world. Every day before dawn, he carried a hoe and went to work in the fields. From the beginning, he was a feeble scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, but he gradually became like a real countryman. Rural man.
Every time he saw Mrs. Yang taking those two little nephews for a walk in the field, Lin Jiazhong would unconsciously think of the two sons when they were young, they were so cute and lively.
Of the three sons and daughters, only one daughter is still alive. Lin Jiazhong is somewhat comforted.
However, this consolation didn't last long, and the Li family sent someone to tell Lin Siyu that something had happened.
Lin Siyu and Li Chengzhi are dealt with, the second volume is over, and soon our sister Yuan will go to the capital lol~
Lin Siyu, ahem, what will happen to her~
(End of this chapter)
Xia Zheng wasn't there, Lin Yuan wasn't there, and being forced by Eunuch Chang's endless nagging, Zhao Hongyan had no choice but to set off early the next morning to return to Beijing.

"Oh, Eunuch Chang, why did you come back suddenly? What, are you not leaving? Are you going to wait here for your old friend to come back?"
boom!
Before Xiao Linshuang finished speaking, he heard that the stool that Lao Fan was sitting on had been overturned to the ground, and Lao Fan had already covered his head with his robe and got under the table...
Beijing.
Zhao Hongsheng dismissed the spies with a wave of his hand, and said indifferently: "Xiao Liu'er is just a child, and he was spoiled by Concubine Tian since he was a child, so it's not a problem. It's the third child."
Zhao Hongsheng slammed his fist on the table, which made the cups on the table jingle: "I actually persuaded my father to let him take charge of this year's scientific examination. In this way, all the rookies in this year's court have become his." Proud assistant, it's really cheap for him!"
"Your Highness, don't worry too much." It was a middle-aged man who spoke, his voice was hoarse, and there was a sense of gloom when he laughed, "Although the third prince is in charge of this year's scientific examination, your highness is in charge of the Imperial Business Competition. ?"
Zhao Hongsheng frowned, not paying attention: "Imperial businessman? Huh, what's the use! Mr. Xu probably thinks that he can make something out of this imperial business competition?"
"Your Highness's words are wrong." The man called Mr. Xu twitched his lips. Even Zhao Hongsheng, who had been with him for a long time, still felt very uncomfortable when he saw this so-called smiling expression.
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you think there is anything in the world that cannot be bought with silver? No, so, confidants, you can also buy with silver."
Zhao Hongsheng narrowed his eyes, then clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Wonderful! Haha, as long as you have money, are you afraid that those rookies will not be used by me? Mister is really wise!"
Mr. Xu kept his hands in his sleeves all the time, even if Zhao Hongsheng praised him, he didn't reach out to return the salute, but just bowed slightly.
But Zhao Hongsheng was not dissatisfied because of this, and was still very happy: "Sir, there is no need to be too polite, by the way, hurry up and send a letter to Tang Zhifu, let Tang Ruyan go to Beijing immediately, and she will assist in taking care of the imperial business competition." gone."
Mr. Xu nodded: "With Miss Tang's intelligence, it is more than enough to take care of this competition. But Your Highness, please forgive me for talking too much. Although Miss Tang is smart and beautiful, she is really not the best candidate for His Highness's concubine. I hope His Highness think twice."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongsheng smiled coldly: "Tang Ruyan is indeed smart, but it's a pity that her background is not high. Don't worry, sir, this prince knows it well."
Regarding Zhao Hongsheng's answer, Xu Bin had already come to a conclusion in his heart. How can a person who makes a big deal be fettered by his son and daughter's affair?He chose to follow Zhao Hongsheng at the beginning because he took advantage of his cold temperament. Anyone who is beneficial to him can take advantage of him.
Of course, he will not show mercy to those who are against him.
Now that he has decided to take good care of the matter of the Imperial Merchant Competition, it is natural to know some of the inside information.
Xu Bin still hid his hands in his sleeves, twitched the corners of his mouth, and let out a loud laugh: "Your Highness, a few days ago, the Jiangnan Wu family sent someone here."
"Oh?" Zhao Hongsheng frowned, becoming interested: "The Wu family in Jiangnan? I heard that there are two famous families in Jiangnan, both of which are famous for their embroidery. One is the Wu family and the other is the Chen family."
Xu Bin nodded and continued: "Exactly, both of these two have their own unique embroidery skills, and they have been indistinguishable for hundreds of years. When competing for the imperial business, they are even more incompatible with each other."
"I remember, in the past few years, it was the Chen family who won the competition, right?"
Xu Bin nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's why the Wu family can't wait to honor His Highness."
Zhao Hongsheng was very happy, he laughed and said, "This Wu family has a bit of a mind. How about the Chen family?"
"The Chen family?" Xu Bin thought for a while, and only said four words: "Too honest."
Too straight?
Zhao Hongsheng frowned slightly, only to hear Xu Bin continue: "This generation of the Patriarch of the Chen family is upright, and his behavior is too upright. And Mrs. Chen, although she is jealous, is an extremely intelligent woman. Don't look at her arbitrariness in the inner house. It's even a little unreasonable, but it's absolutely unambiguous to the outside world."
This may be the reason why the Chen family has been slightly better than the Wu family over the years.
"Such a Chen family is not easy to buy."
Zhao Hongsheng shook his head, and seemed to understand why the Wu family came to curry favor with him in such a hurry: "Since someone is rushing to give us money, how can there be any reason to refuse us?"
Xu Bin also said: "That's exactly the case. The Wu family's wealth is not comparable to that of the An family. With the Wu family's big treasury, we don't have to worry about the lack of funds for us to buy people's hearts in the future. Your Highness, my subordinates congratulate Your Highness in advance for being a great treasure. "
Zhao Hongsheng laughed wildly: "If my Highness ascends to the Great Treasure, I will definitely not treat Mr. Xu badly, haha."
Since Xiao Linzi left, the children in the tofu shop became more and more diligent, waiting for Xiao Linzi to show him when he came back.And Lanhua has also made an engagement with Xiao Ma, and they are waiting to get married in the coming year.
Daohuaxiang's business is also on the right track. Uncle Wang is becoming more and more proficient as an accountant. In view of his health, Lin Yuan is also willing to let him take charge of the accountant.
And when Fifth Sister Bai was about to give birth, her husband couldn't bear her running back and forth in the freezing weather, so he took her home to wait for delivery.
This is Fifth Sister Bai's first child, so it is naturally more expensive.And after giving birth, there is no time to go out to work again, so there is one less person in Daohuaxiang's kitchen, which makes Lin Yuan a little headache.
Fortunately, the big voice is well managed, and it can last for a while without one person. Moreover, Daohuaxiang's business is getting better and better, and sooner or later it will need to recruit more people, so Lin Yuan plans to wait until after the new year to start again. hiring.
In Zhuma Town, Lin Yuan didn't need to worry about it, but Lin Jia'ao was always in trouble.Since the incident of Lin Jiazhong guarding himself and stealing happened, Lin Jiaxiao and Li Feng'e have come to an end.
After Mrs. Ma exposed the scandal between Li Feng'e and the old bachelor in the village that day, Li Feng'e also revealed the matter of Lin Jiaxiao raising a foreign room in the town. Can't go on anymore.
Li Feng'e was beaten up by Lin Jiaxiao, and Li Feng'e's natal brothers came to the door the next day, talking about things, of course including the son of the aunt who was the nun by Jin's side.
Speaking of which, it was thanks to this cousin that Lin Jiaxiao got together with that concubine.If he hadn't introduced Lin Jiaxiao to work as a thug in the brothel, there would have been no way for the two of them to have met.
So after Lin Jiaxiao grew up with Li Feng'e, this cousin was the first one who refused to agree, and brought someone to find him.
Although Li Feng'e gave him a cuckold, Lin Jiaxiao was the first to engage in women outside, and he had no brothers to help him besides himself, so he hid early.
The Li family was in vain, and the cousin couldn't get angry. He picked up a stick and smashed the pot in the Lin family's house, shouting: "This bastard! It must be at that little bitch! Come on, I know where they are hiding Just right, smashed that vixen's face!"
As soon as this remark came out, the Li family immediately went to the town under his leadership, and they blocked Lin Jiaxiao who was discussing with a woman and running away in a small alley.
The Li family yelled, beat and kicked Lin Jiaxiao, and that woman was stripped naked and covered in feces!
Not only that, but also messed up the house they rented.
Because Li Feng'e's aunt is the dowry mother of the county magistrate's wife, Lin Jiaxiao and Lin Jiaxiao are determined to suffer from the dumbness.
After beating the two of them, half of the anger in Li Feng'e's stomach was released. Anyway, they would not be able to pass by together. The only remaining piece of land was sold, and the money he got was naturally put into his own pocket.
As for the three houses, Li Feng'e thought about her two sons who hadn't grown up yet, so she didn't go too far.
As for the two sons, Li Feng'e actually didn't want any of them.Even though the two sons hugged her thigh and cried with tears and snot running down their noses, they walked away cruelly without looking back.
Yang felt sorry for her grandson and wanted to reconcile the two of them, but how can they turn back now?I could only hold the two motherless children and cry.
As for Lin Jiaxiao, it is even more disgusting. Li Feng'e doesn't care about his sons, and he doesn't care even more. After being beaten up by the Li family, he sold the three houses in the family, and left Zhuma Town overnight with the money and that little bitch. , never came back.
What Lin Jiaxiao did made the villagers very disdainful, even worse than the big Qiangzi back then!
Now the two children have no mother, no father, and no house to live in. Mrs. Yang brought back the two children under three years old. An old lady takes care of the children during the day and tears her face at night. It is really pitiful .
The old couple broke up, and the old family is dying soon. Lin Yongcheng is really dying, and he is so thin that he can't walk anymore.Recently, he can't even eat anymore, and has been babbling drowsily.
Ma once cried and went to his mouth to listen to what he said, and after listening for a long time, he barely realized that he wanted to eat Wushi powder.
This time, Mrs. Ma was even more heartbroken, slumped on the ground and cried out of breath, crying again and again, if he had been able to help his son get rid of Wushisan addiction back then, maybe it would not be like this now up.
On the other hand, Lin Jiazhong seemed to have seen through the world. Every day before dawn, he carried a hoe and went to work in the fields. From the beginning, he was a feeble scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, but he gradually became like a real countryman. Rural man.
Every time he saw Mrs. Yang taking those two little nephews for a walk in the field, Lin Jiazhong would unconsciously think of the two sons when they were young, they were so cute and lively.
Of the three sons and daughters, only one daughter is still alive. Lin Jiazhong is somewhat comforted.
However, this consolation didn't last long, and the Li family sent someone to tell Lin Siyu that something had happened.
Lin Siyu and Li Chengzhi are dealt with, the second volume is over, and soon our sister Yuan will go to the capital lol~
Lin Siyu, ahem, what will happen to her~
