Chapter 071: Twists and turns on the boat
The Lin family's courtyard has entered an extremely busy time period, and without Zhao Gan's helper, it seems that everything has become a mess.
But Lin Wan'er didn't believe in this evil, and took care of everything clearly through rote memorization, and the silkworm cocoon entered the Lin family's courtyard, and then went through a series of processes such as boiling cocoons, drawing silk, drying, twisting, winding, twisting, etc., Lin Wan'er can take care of the road with ease, and she can also write a side story when she is busy.
Nowadays, the silk business in the city of Lanzhou is divided into two worlds, one of which is Lin Puling's Lin Family Silk Village, which relies on the inventory of previous years to occupy large customers, and has strong financial resources and full stamina. The other is Lin Wan'er's small courtyard silk, which quickly occupies the low-end market, such as silk handkerchiefs, belly pockets, etc., in line with the principle of small profits and quick turnover, it is also mixed. However, the shortcomings are also obvious, Lin Waner is short of money and lacks a lot of liquidity.
Originally, Lanzhou Bookstore, Chongshu Bookstore and Half Moon Bookstore could help Lin Wan'er, but Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen, who were expanding the market in the north, also felt that funds were tight, and they had borrowed a lot of money by relying on the connections they had worked hard in the mall all year round, and they had no spare money to help Lin Wan'er.
In short, the current Lin family courtyard is at a juncture, the spare money in the hand is nothing, all floating outside, if you can get through this period smoothly, the future will be a source of money, helping the silk business, the silk business feedback, forming a virtuous circle.
If a slight external force destroys this balance, the Lin family can only return to the pre-liberation period overnight, and start from scratch with the three mountains of "food, clothing, and housing", and I don't know when they will come out.
During this period, there was also a small episode.
Yang Erxi's home suddenly suffered a disaster, and Yang Erxi, the pillar of the family, accidentally bent his waist at the dock and injured his muscles and bones for a hundred days, but Yang Erxi's condition seemed to be a little strict, and he had been lying in bed for more than three months and had not improved.
Yang Kaiguang needs money to go to school, Yang Erxi needs money to treat his illness, how can the Yang family, who is not very wealthy, have extra silver, and their lives are becoming more and more stretched.
Erxi's daughter-in-law sighed all day long, not knowing how to manage this family, although she read little, but Erxi's daughter-in-law knew the general situation and understood the righteousness, and never thought of abandoning the family.
Erxi's daughter-in-law heard that the Lin family's courtyard was recruiting, and the money she earned was quite considerable, so she had the courage to come to the Lin family's courtyard to ask for a job: "Miss Wan'er, my family is still lying in bed." You still need money to go to school, so let's see if you can give me a job, just give me a little money. Erxi's daughter-in-law was originally timid, thinking that she still had some grievances with the Lin family before, and her tone was insufficient, and her voice was getting smaller and smaller.
Lin Wan'er sat in the front hall, writing and painting with a brush in one hand, calculating how many handkerchiefs and belly pockets had entered the Lin family's courtyard today, and how many had left the Lin family's courtyard, and only then did she raise her head and look at each other when she heard the words of Erxi's daughter-in-law.
Erxi's daughter-in-law was a little uncomfortable by Lin Wan'er, and slowly lowered her head, her face was hot, and she felt that she had no face to see people, but thinking about the embarrassing situation at home, she had the courage to say again: "Miss Wan'er, all the mistakes in the past were my family's fault, but for the sake of the neighbors, ......"
"No way!" Lin Wan'er said categorically, then lowered her head and continued her work.
Erxi's daughter-in-law's eyes turned red instantly, tears poured out unconsciously, and she cried and begged: "Miss Wan'er......"
"I said no!" Lin Wan'er was a little impatient, and the strength of the pen was unconsciously heavier, and she said in a cold tone: "Back then, my family was not much better than yours, and I didn't see the Yang family to help, this is not counted, your family opened the light and scolded my family from top to bottom, Yang Erxi fell into the well and robbed me of my money." Now that I have difficulties, I think of my Lin family. Erxi sister-in-law, I, Lin Wan'er, am not a good person, and there are no good people like zĂ i in the world! â
Erxi's daughter-in-law knelt on the ground with a thud, whimpering and crying, and begged bitterly: "Miss Wan'er, you can do it." â
Lin Wan'er was upset in her heart, snorted coldly, dropped the brush, and left the Lin family, and she didn't know where she went.
When Lin Wan'er returned to the Lin family's courtyard, Erxi's daughter-in-law had already left.
Lin Wan'er saw that the sun had set, she was stunned for a moment, and then clenched her fists as if to cheer herself up: "Be ruthless." â
Lin Wan'er speculated about the time in her heart, and went to the kitchen alone, lighting a fire, adding water, washing rice, picking vegetables, and stir-frying......
Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin went home one after another, and the family sat at the dining table.
Lin Wan'er picked up the rice, took a bite of the rice, didn't know what it tasted like, and then took a chopstick dish, still didn't know what it tasted like, changed the dish and put it to her mouth, put the dish back, put the chopsticks down, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said to herself: "Lin Wan'er, Lin Wan'er, you are really a big fool, a super super fool in the world, there is no more stupid big fool than you in the entire Great Wei Kingdom." â
The family didn't know why the eldest sister said such a sentence, and they were all waiting for the following.
Lin Wan'er took out a silver ticket from her arms and instructed Lin Hanlin: "Fourth, take this silver ticket to Yang Erxi's house and give the silver ticket to Erxi's sister-in-law." â
Lin Hanlin heard about the matter in Yang Erxi's family, and then saw that the eldest sister was going to give the silver to the Yang family, so he snorted coldly and said, "I'm not going." â
"Are you going?" Lin Wan'er.
"I'm not going." Lin Hanlin.
"Okay, if you don't go, I'll go." Lin Wan'er put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and went to Yang's house.
Lin Hanlin hurriedly held down the eldest sister and picked up the silver ticket, although he was extremely reluctant, he still said again and again: "Eldest sister, I'll go, I'll go, can't I go." With that, the man left the courtyard and plunged headlong into the darkness.
Lin Wan'er picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, her appetite increased greatly, and her mood unconsciously improved, she ate two bowls of rice in one go, and she slept fragrantly at night.
Early in the morning of the second day, Lin Wan'er cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and immediately picked up the brush and "fought" with a bunch of ledgers there.
Erxi's daughter-in-law entered the Lin family's courtyard with a grateful face, and before she could speak, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Wan'er three times, but Lin Wan'er still pulled yesterday's cold face and counted her bills.
Erxi's daughter-in-law didn't care about Lin Wan'er's reaction, and said gratefully: "Thank you Miss Wan'er for your help, thank you Miss Wan'er for your help." On behalf of the Yang family, I have thanked Miss Wan'er. After saying that, I had to kowtow again.
Lin Wan'er didn't stand up to stop her, but her brows furrowed slightly, and her face was displeased.
Erxi's daughter-in-law also saw Lin Wan'er's face, thanked her three more times, and asked, "Miss Wan'er, you can assign me a job, I can eat any hardship." â
Lin Wan'er put down the brush, her brows furrowed even deeper, and asked, "When did I say that you were allowed to work in the Lin family's courtyard?" â
Erxi's daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, and said: "The money that Miss Wan'er sent to the Yang family last night, didn't she agree that I would ...... it at the Lin family?"
"Joke!" Lin Wan'er snorted coldly and said, "Giving you silver money is giving you silver money, yesterday I said that the Yang family bullied my Lin family, so there is absolutely no possibility of letting your Yang family enter the Lin family to work." The reason why I sent some money to you is because ......" Lin Wan'er thought about it, and didn't come up with any suitable reason, it can't be said that it was because I was soft-hearted, it would damage my reputation as Lin Wan'er's evil daughter in Lanzhou, and in the end, I really couldn't find a suitable reason, Lin Wan'er said: "It's because my Lin family has a lot of money." â
Erxi's daughter-in-law stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, she was used to seeing Eryu and me cheating and roosters and dogs, even if her husband sometimes concealed that she was calculating some little Jiujiu in her heart. Thinking of this, Erxi's daughter-in-law felt gloomy in her heart, calmed down her feelings, let herself get rid of that negative feelings, and opened her mouth to say: "Miss Wan'er, you are a good person. â
Lin Wan'er was already impatient, and said in an unkind tone: "It's okay, let's leave if it's okay." â
Erxi's daughter-in-law got up and gently exited the Lin family's courtyard.
Lin Wan'er began to babble in the small courtyard at this time, scolding herself for being stupid, scolding and scolding, she laughed, looked at the stool beside her, and moved her nose, as if talking to someone: "What are you laughing at, this girl is so willful when she is rich, you can't care about it." â
At this time, the door of the Lin family's courtyard was pushed open from the outside, and the person who came was a girl next to Chen Xiaoxiao's painting boat, who had met Lin Wan'er a few times, but was not familiar with her.
The girl was out of breath, she came running, smoothed her chest with her hand, and said, "Everyone Lin, it's not good, someone is making trouble on the smiling painting boat." â
Lin Wan'er was horrified in her heart, picked up a wooden stick, stepped out of the Lin family's courtyard, and went to the painting boat like the wind.
Before the people arrived at the painting boat street, they saw a group of people surrounding Chen Xiaoxiao's painting boat.
When everyone saw Lin Wan'er coming, they unconsciously made a way, and Lin Wan'er followed this road and entered the painting boat.
The interior layout of the painting boat is still the same, but as soon as she saw the people sitting inside, Lin Wan'er sighed in her heart, her big eyes couldn't help narrowing, and she said, "Why is my uncle here?" â
Lin Puling laughed, stood up, and said, "Wan'er, long time no see." I'm not here to sit on a boat. There was banter and sarcasm in the tone.
Chen Xiaoxiao came behind Lin Wan'er with a pipa, her little face was full of anger, before she knew Lin Wan'er, Chen Xiaoxiao cried when she encountered something, and as she got in touch with Lin Wan'er more and more, her personality became stronger and stronger.
It turned out that seeing the Lin family's silk business getting bigger and bigger, Lin Puling became more and more unable to sit still, but because of Zhao Gan's threat, he didn't dare to do it, not that he didn't dare, but every time the people sent out disappeared, Lin Puling sometimes felt that he would disappear without a trace that day.
Later, when he heard that Zhao Qian had left Lanzhou, Lin Puling still didn't dare to do anything directly against the Lin family's courtyard. In retreat, Lin Puling decided to take action against Chen Xiaoxiao, who was good friends with Lin Wan'er, and "helped" Chen Xiaoxiao to get rid of her cheap status and join the Lin family, using Chen Xiaoxiao as a threat to force Lin Wan'er to comply.
If Lin Wan'er helps Chen Xiaoxiao get rid of her lowly status, she will inevitably come up with more money, so better, Lin Puling has long analyzed the current situation in the Lin family's courtyard, as long as Lin Wan'er's liquidity is locked, then the silk business in Lanzhou is still dominated by my Lin Puling's family, and maybe he can buy the silk that Lin Wan'er left in his hands at a low price.
