Chapter 154: Hiring Chen Nong
Lin Jiu was not in a hurry to open the store, Zhao's body was still a little weak, so she changed her method every day to make medicinal food for Zhao's body, and even took Zheng's grandmother and Zheng Jiadong to eat a lot of good things.
Zhao looked at Lin Jiu as if he didn't need money to move valuable herbs home, he was very distressed, and found an opportunity and said to Lin Jiu: "Mother's body is already well, don't buy these medicinal materials anymore, it's too expensive, keep the money for you to do business, you need money to do business, you didn't buy a shop some time ago, if you spend all the money, how can you have the capital to open a store!" ”
Lin Jiu smiled and comforted the Zhao family: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter can still get this little money, and half of these medicinal materials are not bought by me, they were given to me by Zeng Yixian." ”
Zeng Yixian has been paying attention to Lin Jiu's news, so on the second day when Lin Jiu returned home, he sent Xiaoyu over and said that a banquet would be set up in Zeng's Restaurant to catch Lin Jiu's wind, but Lin Jiu did not agree, only said thank you Shaodong's kindness, and returned Xiaoyu.
Later, when Lin Jiu was buying medicinal materials for the Zhao family, he happened to meet Zeng Yixian on the street, and this was the time to meet.
That day, Zeng Yixian went to the farmland on the edge of the town to check the accounts, and was walking back in the carriage, Xiaoyu sat on the beam of the car and looked around the street idlely, and when he turned his head, he saw Lin Jiu coming out of the pharmacy on the street.
Xiaoyu hurriedly shouted into the carriage: "Master, master, take a look, is that girl Lin outside?" ”
Zeng Yixian was originally dizzy from the smell of farm manure on the farmland, and he was checking the accounts just now, and as soon as he put down the account book, he hurriedly ordered the coachman to take him back to his home, and he wanted to bathe and cleanse himself.
As soon as he heard Lin Jiu outside, his mind suddenly cleared up, he hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car, and looked in the direction that Xiaoyu said, and sure enough, it was Lin Jiu.
But Zeng Yixian was a little hesitant, how could he come forward to talk to Lin Jiu because of the smell of his body now.
But Lin Jiu has never accepted his invitation since he came back, and he really didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he had to stop the coachman and call Lin Jiu through the car window: "Miss Lin!" ”
Hearing someone shouting to himself, Lin Jiu stopped and looked around, only to see Xiaoyu sitting in front of the carriage and waving at him, and Zeng Yixian, who only showed his head at the window.
Lin Jiu has been thinking of a way to cut off relations with the Zeng family, but Chu Lingcheng's words have been knocking on her heart.
Now her ability is indeed not enough, if she rashly breaks off contact with the Zeng family, it is definitely not a good thing for herself, and Zeng Yixian has always been very good to her, so Lin Jiu still treats Zeng Yixian with the same attitude as before,
"Coincidentally, I was able to meet Zeng Gongzi here." Lin Jiu greeted Zeng Yixian with a smile.
Zeng Yixian, who finally talked to Lin Jiu, was in a good mood at this moment, and he smiled elegantly: "It's really a coincidence." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the medicine bag that Lin Jiu was carrying, and his eyes couldn't help but have a trace of worry: "Miss Lin is sick?" ”
Lin Jiu also followed his line of sight and looked down at the medicine bag in his hand, before he smiled and said: "Thank you Zeng Gongzi for your concern, my mother is not in good health and is a little weak for a while, I will buy some tonic medicine to replenish her body." ”
had some selfish intentions, so Lin Jiu did not disclose the matter of medicinal diet to Zeng Yixian.
Zeng Yixian relieved himself when he heard this: "Since this is the case, why didn't Miss Lin come to me?" The Zeng family has a lot of good medicinal herbs. ”
"Then you don't have to, I've bought enough for my mother to use for some time." Lin Jiu still declined.
"The effect of the medicine is good, and the aunt is naturally better, Miss Lin doesn't have to shirk, we are business partners, and providing you with this convenience is just a trivial matter."
When Lin Jiu heard this, he couldn't excuse himself: "Okay, Lin Jiu will thank Zeng Gongzi." ”
Zeng Yixian nodded, said a few more words, and the two separated.
When the carriage was far away, Zeng Yixian instructed Xiaoyu: "After you send me back to the house later, go to the medicine hall to get some good tonic medicine for Miss Lin." ”
Xiaoyu nodded hurriedly and responded.
As soon as he arrived at Zeng's mansion, Xiaoyu went out. His legs and feet were neat, and in less than an hour, he sent the medicinal materials to Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu didn't shirk anymore, and took Xiaoyu's medicinal materials: "I'm sorry for you to run this trip, you haven't eaten yet, why don't you stay at home for lunch." ”
Xiaoyu hurriedly excused herself: "No need girl, I still have to be used by the master's side, I have to rush back here." ”
"Alright then, you go back and be careful."
"Thank you girl for your concern, then Xiaoyu will leave."
Sending Xiaoyu away, Lin Jiu took the medicinal materials back to the room, she took out those medicinal materials, picked some good ones and put them into the space, and took out some of the medicinal materials she had put in the space before.
The effect of the medicinal materials nourished by the space is better, Lin Jiu used this medicine to replenish Zhao's body, and after she nourished her heart for so long, Zhao's body gradually improved.
After Zhao's body was raised, Lin Jiu put the matter of opening a store on the agenda.
However, because Lin Jiu is very scruple about the Zeng family, even buying a house is settled in the town under Wang Mei's pseudonym, it is really difficult to come out and operate, and there are incompetent people around her.
Thinking about it, Lin Jiu came to Fangshiju again, thinking that the Chen Nong who helped him last time was very reliable, so it was better to spend money to hire him and let him handle it for him.
Seeing that a guest came to the door, the shopkeeper of Fang Shiju greeted him very warmly: "Guest, do you buy or sell a house?" ”
Lin Jiu didn't bother to deal with him, and said directly: "I'm looking for Chen Nong." ”
When the shopkeeper heard Lin Jiu's words, he was a little embarrassed. The shopkeeper remembered Lin Jiu, after all, he was able to buy the shop at No. 18 Nanzhong Street in full, and he was considered a wealthy person, so the shopkeeper was very impressed by Lin Jiu.
He said to Lin Jiu: "Objective, you might as well change to a Yalang, I have a few good ones here to introduce you." ”
When Lin Jiu saw him bypassing Chen Nong, he felt that this matter was a little strange, so he asked, "Then what happened to Chen Nong?" Why can't you help me? Is his mother seriously ill again? She still remembers the last time she came, Chen Nong was at home to take care of her seriously ill mother. Seeing her ask, the shopkeeper had no choice but to tell the truth: "Chen Nong helped you with the formalities of the shop at No. 18 Nanzhong Street last time, and I was hated by Lian En, the brother-in-law of the county order, so since then, all the shops that Chen Nong has handled cannot settle in the town, and I don't dare to let Chen Nong receive guests for a long time." ”
Lin Jiu didn't expect such a thing to happen, he actually hurt him, and he didn't know how he had lived in the past few months without income, plus his seriously ill mother.
So he asked the shopkeeper for the address of Farmer Chen's house, and Lin Jiu bought some simple pastries from the street vendor and went to Farmer Chen's house.
As soon as he walked to the door, Lin Jiu could hear the woman's violent coughing sound from inside.
Inside the house, Chen Nong looked at his mother's uncomfortable appearance, except for constantly blaming himself for being useless in his heart, he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
In the past few months, he has not earned a penny, and now that the family has no money to buy food, how can he spare money to treat his mother's illness? Without medicine, he can only let his mother wait for death at home, which is really unfilial, thinking of this, Chen Nong's eyes were red.
Lin Jiu listened outside the door for a while, couldn't help but blame himself even more, and made a plan in his heart, so he knocked on the door,
Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Nong was puzzled, but he still settled his mother and walked to the door to open the door.
He wondered in his heart, who was coming to the door? Now that his family is in such a situation, even the relatives who used to be good friends now walk around when they see him on the street, for fear that he will ask them to borrow money.
When he opened the door, he saw that it was Lin Jiu, Chen Nong was a little surprised, but he still invited Lin Jiu into the door with several courtesies.
Chen Nong invited Lin Jiu to sit down, poured her another cup of hot water, and said a little embarrassedly: "Miss Lin, let's just take a look, there is really no tea at home." ”
Lin Jiu was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he picked up the teacup and blew it and took a sip: "It's okay, anyway, I don't like the astringency of tea, and I drink white water on weekdays." ”
Chen Nong knew that Miss Lin was doing this for his face, and he was a little moved in his heart.
He did complain about Lin Jiu at the beginning, if he hadn't taken over her business and confronted the brother-in-law of the county order, he would not have ended up like this.
But after so many months, he also thought it through, Miss Lin just bought a shop, and she didn't want to get involved in such a lawsuit, but she was just unlucky, so the original complaints against Lin Jiu disappeared.
And Lin Jiu was indeed worried that Chen Nong had a grudge against him before he came, but now seeing him like this, he was relieved.
Lin Jiu and Chen Nong sat in the hall and said this, listening to the cough of Chen Nongniang in the ear room, they couldn't help sighing, stood up and walked towards the ear room.
Chen Nong hurriedly stopped in front of Lin Jiu and said, "Mother is seriously ill, lest I make Miss Lin sick, Miss Lin should sit here." ”
"It doesn't matter." Lin Jiu shook his head and said, "I'll take a look at the eldest lady since I'm here." ”
