Chapter 120: Buying Cattle Turmoil
Lin Xiao saw that she couldn't refuse, so she said that she would pick up some food and take it back to eat, all of which were home-grown, so it would be regarded as a thank you gift.
How could Lin Xiaowan ask for it, Lin Xiao was poor when she saw her family, she gave this was originally a casual thing, if she asked her to return the gift, then what kind of person would she become, she waved her hand and said no.
Without waiting for Lin Xiao to say anything more, she picked up the basket and left.
Lin Xiao couldn't shout when she stood up, Lin Xiaowan waved at her from afar, and raised a bright smile. Seeing her like this, Lin Xiao's heart was both moved and uncomfortable. She slowly clenched the bottle in her hand, lowered her gaze, and sat down blankly.
Mrs. Qin said coolly on the side:
"Yo, that's starting to win people's hearts. Xiaoxiao girl, don't fall for her, others wipe the rest of the things and are embarrassed to give them away, I really want to pretend to be a big family and a small family, and I can't get on the table. ”
Lin Xiao ignored her, hanging his head and not knowing what he was thinking.
Mrs. Qin was upset when she saw that she couldn't beat a fart, and turned her head away from her.
Lin Xiaowan went straight to the pharmacy and bought the medicinal materials she needed, and the medicinal materials that Guo Chengling soaked in the medicinal bath.
After buying it, she came out, and went to the teahouse she had made an appointment with.
Lin Xiaowan didn't know that after she left, someone went in and asked her for exactly the same medicinal herbs.
This person is none other than Liu Cui.
Liu Cui felt strange, she inquired about several people, and they all said that Lin Xiaowan's ointment worked, she couldn't figure it out, when would Lin Xiaowan make this kind of thing? I've never heard of it before.
Therefore, after Lin Xiaowan left with the basket, she hid in the dark and secretly followed Lin Xiaowan all the way to the pharmacy.
When Lin Xiaowan came out of the pharmacy and went straight to the teahouse, Liu Cui quietly returned to the pharmacy and asked the guy what Lin Xiaowan bought?
The guy didn't want to tell her, it was the customer's privacy. But Liu Cui said that as long as he said it, she would take a copy as Lin Xiaowan ordered. The guy immediately defected, confessed everything, and helped her fill the medicine.
Liu Cui was carrying a bag of medicine, and she thought that she would give it a try when she went back, and sell it for seven taels of silver when she went back, robbing Lin Xiaowan's business.
Thinking of the silver that Lin Xiaowan received today, Liu Cui felt that her heart was dripping blood, those should be her silver, this little slut is used to sensationalizing and coaxing people, and I don't know where she learned the means, she actually made a fortune behind everyone's back, fortunately she was clever and came with her today, otherwise everyone would probably be in the dark by her.
When Lin Xiaowan arrived at the teahouse, she didn't see Guo Chengling and them, and she felt a little strange, it's been so long since she picked it, haven't you picked it yet?
Afraid that she would miss someone by walking around, she sat down in the window seat upstairs, ordered a pot of tea and drank it slowly, while paying attention to the flow of people below.
A pot of tea was about to be drunk, and Lin Zhen and Guo Chengling were late to lead the cow.
Lin Xiaowan saw them settle the account and went down to join them.
As soon as they met, she complained: "Why are you so slow, I've been waiting for a long time." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiaowan realized that her father's face didn't seem to be right, and his face was gloomy, just like who owed him 80,000 taels of silver.
She raised her eyebrows silently and looked at Guo Chengling, Guo Chengling looked at her father-in-law, and took the initiative to solve her confusion: "We met your uncle at the place where the cattle were sold." ”
Lin Tang? Lin Xiaowan said in her heart, what is he going there to do?
"And after that?"
Guo Chengling looked at his father-in-law's still gloomy face, paused and replied: "He robbed the cow that my father liked, bought it and sold it again, and specially explained that they would not sell it to us." ”
Lin Xiaowan: ......
Yes, it's really sleepy and someone handed her a pillow, she was worried that her father would be soft-hearted, Lin Tang was so good, he pushed her father far away, it was really a god assist.
Lin Xiaowan looked at the cow they were leading, and she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, anyway, it looked quite energetic.
"Isn't this bad? What is he doing robbing cattle, he can't use it. ”
Lin Zhen sneered when he heard this, "How do I know what he is doing robbing cattle?" We don't care what we like to do. ”
Lin Zhen felt uncomfortable and angry.
They arrived early today, and the cattle seller had not yet opened, so Lin Zhen took a fancy to it, and bargained with the seller for a long time, and finally relented.
Lin Zhen went to inspect the cattle again, and after making sure that there was no problem, he was ready to pay the silver, and suddenly saw Lin Tang.
Lin Tang came to buy a horse today, he opened a shop, and it was not cost-effective to rent a carriage every day, so he thought about simply buying a horse.
As a result, I happened to meet Lin Zhen and them.
When the two brothers met, Lin Zhen took the initiative to say hello and shouted "big brother".
Who knew that after Lin Fu glanced at them, he ignored him and directly asked the seller which cow they had just taken a fancy to, and he bought it.
Lin Zhen was blindsided, reacted and hurriedly stopped the seller and said, "Don't, come first, come first, this cow is what we look at first." ”
The shopkeeper looked at Lin Zhenweng's son-in-law in simple clothes in embarrassment, and then looked at Lin Tang and his party who were dressed luxuriously, and handed the rope to Lin Tang without hesitation.
Lin Tang didn't take it, turned his head and asked his subordinates to lead him to sell it elsewhere, and specially told him loudly that he couldn't sell it to Lin Zhen and them, everyone else could do it.
Lin Zhen couldn't believe that his eldest brother made such a fuss just to prevent him from getting his wish.
Whether he believed it or not, Lin Tang did it.
After doing it, he showed him a provocative smile and swaggered away.
After that, Lin Zhen became like this.
Lin Xiaowan looked at her father sulking with a smile, and she was very curious.
She hadn't seen this uncle since the last time she said goodbye, but lately she had been hearing this person's name from different mouths, and it seemed that she had to find a time to meet her.
Lin Tang was scolded by Lin Xiaowan at the door of Guo's house last time, and he couldn't speak, so he walked away angrily.
After returning home, he felt that he probably couldn't get any benefit from the second child, and with such a niece who was there, he was angry and his liver hurt.
After staying at home for a day, Lin Tang took a car back to the county the next day.
After that, he rested in the house for a few days, and co-founded the Jade Heart Hall.
Lin Tang didn't think about going back to Fengxiang Building, he went to find Shopkeeper Lin on the day he went back, but he was ruthlessly rejected by Shopkeeper Lin, and his words were very ugly.
Lin Tang was scolded for no reason, and he was angry, and he was so aggrieved.
This was not enough, and then he went to apply for a job in other shops, but he was rejected without exception, and there were all kinds of reasons, and no one dared to use him at all.
Lin Xiaowan's reputation stinks, and now no one in the industry dares to invite him, not to mention that the shopkeeper Lin of Fengxianglou has just rejected him, they want people at this time, isn't that obviously against people.
There was no way, Lin Tang could only find another source, but he was so used to being pampered that he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't think of anything after staying at home for several days.
In the end, someone pointed him out the maze and opened his own shop in partnership.
In order to make up the cost of the shop, Lin Tang sold the yard and exchanged it all for cash.
Renting a storefront, decorating, purchasing, hiring people, everything needs money, and almost all of his previous savings are smashed into it.
Fortunately, after the opening, the business was not bad, and Lin Tang's hanging heart was put down.
But he hated Lin Xiaowan who ruined his reputation, his younger brother who didn't help him, and the shopkeeper Lin who humiliated him.
So today, when I saw Lin Zhen and they were buying cattle, they were angry, and they robbed Lin Zhen's cattle without saying a word.
It's useless for him to ask for this cow, he just doesn't want to sell it to his stupid second brother.
I don't have much money and still want to charge a big account, which is ridiculous.
After snatching the cow, Lin Tang didn't look at his younger brother, and swaggered away with his guys, leaving the angry Lin Zhen to look at his back and his chest rise and fall.
Lin Xiaowan was only curious about why Lin Tang wasn't with that woman today, otherwise wouldn't it be more exciting. She is still looking forward to her good aunt, Li's expression, when she knows that her husband is raising other women outside.
After all, she has always been proud of her daughter Lin Xiaodie's marriage to a merchant family, that is, Lin Tang's husband is capable.
If she knew that Lin Tang had raised other women outside, maybe there would really be a good show to watch, and Lin Xiaowan was extremely looking forward to that day.
Lin Zhenxing is not high, and he is listless when he speaks, it is all Guo Chengling who is talking.
After Lin Tang left, they changed to a seller, bought this cow, and by the way, bought a set of cars, and put them on directly. When you go back, you can ride directly in your own ox cart.
After listening to the gossip, Lin Xiaowan saw that it was not early, so she asked them to have a meal together and then go back.
After eating, the three of them didn't stay too long, Uncle Wu still had to wait for those who rushed to the market, Lin Xiaowan and they drove to talk to the people and went on the road.
In fact, this cow is not bad, but Lin Tang's actions are too hurtful, Lin Zhen is not happy, he didn't say a few words all the way, and looked at the scenery on the side of the road and lost his mind.
Lin Xiaowan was counting the silver.
It cost three hundred and sixty-five taels of silver to buy cattle today, almost all their savings during this time, once they returned to before the liberation, Lin Xiaowan was inexplicably a little sentimental, and now they are poor and white.
Fortunately, she made some money selling ointments today, and Lin Xiaowan touched the money bag and was in a much better mood.
Back at home, Lin Zhen unloaded the ox cart and led the cattle away.
This is what they said on the road, Lin Xiaowan only used the ox cart when she went to the town every five days, and she didn't use it at all on weekdays. She didn't like to take care of livestock, so she asked Lin Zhen to take her back.
Anyway, it's going to be harvested in the summer, and it's going to be needed.
Liu Cui didn't go shopping anywhere in the morning, she followed Lin Xiaowan, and waited until she finished buying the medicine to buy the things that her mother-in-law explained when she went out today.
When they went back in the afternoon, she got into the car and waited until the ox cart started to move, but she didn't see Lin Xiaowan and her party, so she hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, don't go, there are still people who haven't come." ”
Uncle Wu hurriedly stopped the car, turned his head and asked, "Who didn't come?" What time is it, and what are you doing there? ”
