After introducing the two of them, Lin Yao instructed Hunshan to continue to decoct the medicine well, and then called Jiang Zimo to come to the front hall, she took out twenty taels of silver from her arms and handed it to Jiang Zimo, "Brother Jiang, you take these twenty taels of silver first, it is important to treat your aunt, if there is not enough, you can ask me again." ”

Seeing that Lin Yao had obviously twice as much silver in his hand, Jiang Zimo hurriedly shook his hand and refused, "Miss Lin, I only need ten taels of silver, not twenty taels." ”

Lin Yao hooked his lips and smiled, and then firmly stuffed twenty taels of silver into his hand, explaining, "Because of my aunt's illness, your family should have spent a lot of money recently, you see that you are dressed, you are not the decent scholar I knew at the beginning, and the other ten taels you can take to buy some things for the family, and it is good to change clothes." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zimo's heart suddenly crossed a warm current, he looked at the heavy silver in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little ruddy in his eyes, after a long time, he raised his head and said solemnly to Lin Yao, "Miss Lin, thank you, I will definitely return this silver to you." ”

"What thank you or not, you are also my person, I want to cover you, don't be in a hurry to pay back this silver, you should take care of your aunt's body first." Lin Yao winked at him playfully, and said, "Okay, don't be moved there, come, Brother Jiang, let's sit down and talk about your work." ”

Saying that, Lin Yao led Jiang Zimo to sit at the table, Jiang Zimo nodded and sat down with her.

"Brother Jiang, you are a scholar, you can count and know words, so I want you to be the shopkeeper of this shop and the bookkeeper, and you can handle some small things in your daily life." Lin Yao continued, "What about wages, Brother Jiang, you do a lot of work, or technical work, I plan to give you one or two silver a month, how about it?" ”

Hearing the salary, Jiang Zimo was obviously frightened, his eyes widened slightly, he had been working in the car shop for more than a month, but it was only a hundred yuan, he didn't expect that the salary that Miss Lin gave him would be so high.

But then he reacted again, and asked with a puzzled face, "Miss Lin, I naturally have no problem with this accounting gentleman, but shouldn't you be the one who is in charge of this shopkeeper?" And to be honest, I haven't done business before, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do this position as a shopkeeper. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yao smiled indifferently and explained, "I have other things to do, I won't stay in the store all the time, there must always be a mature and calm person in the store to watch, Brother Jiang, you are just right, as for you don't understand business, it doesn't matter much, I will teach you slowly." ”

Hearing Lin Yao say this, Jiang Zimo also relieved his heart and nodded, "Miss Lin, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job." ”

"Well, I believe in you, Brother Jiang." Lin Yao smiled at him, and then she got up, "Brother Jiang, you are familiar with this place first, if there is nothing to do, then I will leave first." ”

"Hmm."

——————

When I returned to the village, it was already noon, and after the time to eat in the village, Lin Yao felt a little hungry before eating.

As soon as she drove the carriage to the gate of the courtyard, she saw Xiao Douding running towards her with the sound of the voice.

"Sister, sister, you're finally back, the bad aunt is here, and Xiaobao hates her." This Lin Xingfang always looked down on the Lin family's big house before, and always looked down on their sisters and brothers openly and secretly.

Although Xiaobao is small, he can also feel her malice, so he is a little afraid of her, and since he knew that Lin Xingfang almost killed Lin Yao last time, Xiao Douding was very disgusted with her, and he refused to even give her a smile, so every time she came, Xiao Douding would be unhappy.

Hearing this, Lin Yao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, thinking that this Lin Xingfang's face was really thick, not long ago, she coaxed the Dong family to ask them for alimony of ten taels in front of them, and now she even came to her house pretending to be fine.

Lin Yao touched Xiao Douding's head and coaxed softly, "Good, my sister is back, it's okay." ”

"Well, my sister doesn't pay attention to her, she's bad." Xiao Douding looked at her with a serious face, as if Lin Xingfang was some kind of flood beast.

Lin Yao knew that Xiao Douding was worried that she would be harmed by her again, so she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and took his little hand, "Well, my sister won't let her bully us anymore." ”

Lin Yao led Xiaodouding into the house, settled him in their room, and told him to practice calligraphy obediently, she came to Yao's mother's room on the side, and before she entered, she heard Lin Xingfang's rough laughter, "Hahaha, it's not my sister-in-law, my family Yueyue is the most sensible, if Yueyue hadn't pulled your Yaoyao at the beginning, then Yao girl would not have fallen into the dung pit." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Lin Yao's mouth couldn't help twitching, heh, if she remembered correctly, it was Lin Yue who was tired of her entanglement, and led her to the dung pit, saying that there was sugar in it to eat, but the poor original owner was still young at that time, and he was a little stupid and believed it, lying there and wanted to reach in and fish, but it happened that Aunt Jin passed by at that time and shouted, Lin Yue was afraid, so she pulled her, but she was misunderstood that Lin Yue saved her.

Lin Yao hooked a sarcastic smile, with undisguised disgust in her eyes, walked in, and said lightly, "Auntie, why are you here?" ”

Hearing this, Yao's mother knew that it was Lin Yao who was back, and she could be regarded as having a backbone, so she hurriedly leaned over and asked with a smile, "Yaoyao is back, have you eaten?" Are you tired? ”

Lin Xingfang looked at Lin Yao's disdainful look, and suddenly hated itchy, but she knew that she was here to beg for help today, and this little cheap hoof didn't want to be as foolish as before, so the pleated face was busy piling up a flattering smile, like a chrysanthemum, and also came over, "Yaoyao is back, my aunt is just looking for your mother to talk to." ”

Babbling? This Lin Xingfang has never looked down on Yao's mother, saying that she came to Yao's mother to talk about her family, and only a fool can believe it.

"Oh, that's right." Lin Yao nodded clearly, and then she said to Yao's mother, "Mother, I haven't eaten at noon, I'm hungry, you can go and help me get some food." ”

Hearing that Lin Yao was still hungry, Yao's mother was distressed, and she didn't care about Lin Xingfang anymore, so she got off the kang and counted while moving, "Why haven't you eaten yet, no matter how busy you are, you have to remember to eat, you are so tired every day, can your body stand it without eating?" ”

Hearing Yao's mother's reproach, Lin Yao's heart warmed, and she hurriedly said, "I know Mother, didn't I accidentally forget?" Don't worry, I'll remember it later. ”

"You!" Yao's mother shook her head and hurriedly went to the kitchen to get her food.

Seeing Yao Chu leave the room, Lin Xingfang looked at Lin Yao and felt a little drumming in her heart, originally she came because Lin Yao was not at home, that Yao Chu's ears were soft and foolish, she believed that as long as she and Yao Chu grinded more, Yao Chu would definitely agree to her, as long as Yao Chu's idiot nodded, would she still worry about this dead girl not agreeing? It's just that this Yao Chu is out now, and she can only discuss with this dead girl.

Lin Yao didn't pay attention to what Lin Xingfang was thinking, she took off her shoes and sat on the kang, her little hands slowly pressed her legs, driving the carriage for a long time, and her legs were a little sore.

Lin Xingfang leaned over with a smile on her face, "Yaoyao, my aunt is discussing something with you?" ”

Sure enough, the weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, either a traitor or a thief, Lin Yao couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Auntie, tell me anything." Lin Yao replied without raising his head while pressing his legs.

Lin Xingfang was anxious for her to make a statement, and she didn't care about Lin Yao's attitude, and continued to flatter, "It's not your cousin Yueyue, Yueyue has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she doesn't know how to do any farm work, haven't you heard that you opened a shop in that town, it's better to let Yueyue go too, we are all a family, and we can help each other in the end." ”

Looking at Yao's mother's calm face, Lin Yao couldn't help sneering in her heart, it turned out that she had this idea, not to mention the conduct of this vicious aunt's family, just Lin Yue's delicate appearance, I am afraid that it is not to work, but to raise her body.

The corners of Lin Yao's lips hooked slightly and directly refused, "No need, auntie, I have already asked Xiaohua to be a partner, and there is no shortage of people now." ”

"Then Liu Xiaohua is an outsider, can she compare to your cousin and you?" Saying that, Lin Xingfang licked her mouth, and continued, "Yaoyao, we are all a family, your cousin will definitely help you with all her heart after she goes to you, besides, your cousin is beautiful, and if she goes, it won't help you attract guests, isn't it rarer than that Liu Xiaohua's big round face?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yao couldn't help but squint, she completely understood Lin Xingfang's plan, her aunt really had a good plan, let her green tea cousin come to her shop, not only can she earn ten cents a day, but she may be taken by the rich man's lord one day, and she will be regarded as worry-free from now on.

At this time, Lin Yaodi's face turned completely cold, and she didn't have the heart to continue to deal with her anymore, "I'm sorry, aunt, my cousin does look a little good, but I invited a guy, I want to be neat and capable, my cousin is pampered, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

"You!" Hearing this, Lin Xingfang knew that Lin Yao was determined not to use her Yueyue, this little cheap hoof, with money, she actually played with her like this, she didn't want to pretend anymore, she resumed her shrewd appearance, crossed her waist and pointed at Lin Yao and scolded, "Heh, okay, you dead girl has earned money now, and her waist is hard, and she doesn't even pay attention to your aunt's words, right?" ”

"Auntie? I really haven't heard of an aunt who would go to her sister-in-law's house every day to loot things, and even want to sell her niece for a few taels of silver. Lin Yao looked at her with a mocking expression and said coldly, then she pointed to the door, "Auntie, you better go, our small temple really can't accommodate you!"

"Hmph, you, you wait! Wait for our family to marry the official lord Yueyue, see how crazy you are, phew. After speaking, Lin Xingfang opened the door curtain and left scolding.

Seeing her leave, Yao's mother, who was burning the fire, hurriedly walked in, looked at Lin Yao with a slightly excited tone and said, "Yaoyao still has a way, she has been grinding with her mother for more than an hour, and her mother knows that these things have to be decided by yourself, so my mother just endured it and didn't agree." ”

Seeing Yao's mother puff up her chest slightly proudly, Lin Yao couldn't help laughing, "Mother, you are so powerful, if she comes again, you don't have to pay attention to her, anyway, you are her elder, and she doesn't dare to do anything to you." ”

"Well, that's right." Yao's mother nodded in agreement, then her face was slightly depressed, she sat next to Lin Yao, and said in a rather complicated tone, "Yaoyao, you don't know, how much my mother has been wronged by her over the years, when my mother just married your father, your father's money was given to your grandmother, and when he saw that I had no clothes to wear, he secretly saved some money to buy me clothes, but your aunt saw it, and snatched it away, and made a small report to your grandmother, asking your grandmother to give me a good meal." ”
