The Village Doctress Chapter 300: New Year gift
"How to escape?" Lin Xiaotao's heart moved after hearing Lin Xiaohe's idea.
She didn't know that Cousin Xuemei was beaten up by the old rich man and couldn't get out of bed. Now that she knew it, she just felt cold on the soles of her feet.
Deeply afraid that she would have the same fate as Xuemei one day if she stayed in the old Lin family house, she knew very well in her heart that Lin Dalang would never be soft on her just because she was his own sister.
And in the new year, she is one year older!
Lin Xiaohe was delighted to see that Lin Xiaotao also had the urge to escape this time.
"Didn't Sister Gospel and Sister Fen buy gold jewelry for grandma today? There are also twenty taels of silver from Sister Gospel!" Where do you hide the valuables? Tonight, adults will watch the New Year’s Eve and won’t go to sleep until very late. When grandma falls asleep, I’ll go and steal all of grandma’s valuables, and the two of us will leave!”
"But... But, can you steal it? Grandpa and grandma are getting old, so they are light sleepers." Lin Xiaotao said worriedly.
Lin Xiaohe is not worried at all. It can be said that she has already planned to escape from the old Lin family house, but she is waiting for an opportunity.
What if you don't have any money when you are away from home?
But if you want to steal money, you must have a good and safe opportunity!
And New Year's Eve is a very good opportunity.
It is not only suitable for stealing money, but also suitable for driving at night. Every household has to light their lamps to sleep on this night, and the lights will be extinguished at dawn.
"Then, do you want me to help?" Lin Xiaotao also agreed with Lin Xiaohe's suggestion.
But what she thought was, after leaving the old Lin family house, she would find a way to go to the county, and then find Lin Fufu and Lin Fen and Lin Fang.
Now she understands that if she wants to live well, she must rely on Lin Fufu.
She thought that when she really left the old Lin family house, maybe Sister Gospel and Sister Fen would not hate her so much.
Even if she is asked to sweep the floor and wash the dishes, it is enough to earn a living by her own labor, which is much better than staying in the old Lin family's house to raise her like a pig, and then be sold for money when she grows up.
Lin Fufu took Lin Fen and Lin Fang to visit Li Zheng's house.
The Lizheng family welcomed their sisters very much.
Lin Fufu is very successful in the county, but others don't know about it, but they know that the main road in the county is wider.
Also, now Lin Fufu has opened a workshop for making small snacks, as well as a workshop for making biscuit eggs and preserved eggs, which has solved a lot of problems for the village that the laborers have nothing to do.
Now that he is going out to meet those people from other villages, who doesn't envy him?
Their Hulu Village has turned from the poorest village to the wealthiest village in just a few months because of Lin Gospel.
Now dozens of families in the village, as long as they are clean and tidy, even women can go to the workshop run by Gospel to earn wages.
And the salary is definitely not low, it is twice as much as the salary of an adult worker, ten cents a day!
This year's Hulu Village is booming!
His family's new year is also prosperous!
"Gospel, Afen and Afang, eat melon seeds and peanuts." Mrs. Lizheng handed over the finishing of the New Year's Eve dinner to her two daughters-in-law, and she personally brought a fruit box to greet Sister Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu thanked Mrs. Lizheng.
Lin Fen also smiled and said to Mrs. Li Zheng: "Auntie, you are welcome, don't be busy, we have just finished the New Year's Eve dinner, and our stomachs are still full."
Seeing that Lin Fen, who was too round to say a word before, can socialize with her so openly, Mrs. Lizheng glanced at Lin Fen in surprise.
Seeing Lin Fen's calm face and demeanor, Mrs. Lizheng was secretly amazed.
He glanced at Lin Fang who was sitting next to Lin Fufu calmly. This girl used to be aggressive, but she definitely didn't have such a good sitting posture and confident eyebrows as she does today.
Madam Lizheng envied Feng Shi in her heart, and the two daughters she gave birth to had changed a lot after Lin Fufu.
With such a bearing, if nothing else, you won't have to worry about being a good person in the future.
"Have you ever been to your grandma?" Li Zheng asked Lin Fufu while smoking a pipe.
Lin Fufu nodded with a smile, and then told about the purchase of gold ornaments by himself and Sister Lin Fen for Mrs. Wu and Mr. Lin, and the twenty taels of silver for the New Year.
Li Zheng praised them severely.
"You girls are all good. You have earned money by yourself, and you are sincere in your filial piety to the elders in your family. That's fine. From now on, no one in Hulu Village will be able to say anything about you." Li Zheng There is something in the words.
Lin Fufu understands, Lizheng is reassuring her that if someone spreads bad words in the future, he will prove it for the sisters.
It's good to deal with smart people. Lin Fufu thanked him, then took out another twenty taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Mrs. Lizheng.
"Auntie, it's Chinese New Year. I don't know what to buy for my nephews and nieces. With this little money, you can help me make some new clothes for my nephews and nieces." Gospel laughed.
Lady Lizheng laughed when she saw Yinzi, but she refused to accept it.
Under Lin Fen's signal, Lin Fang also handed over two taels of silver at this time, and said with a smile: "Auntie will keep it for my nephew and niece, we are young and don't know what to buy."
Miss Lizheng glanced at Lizheng, saw him exhale a puff of smoke ring, and then nodded, she took it with a smile, and said: "How embarrassing, you are still children!"
"I'll give the children a new year's money too." Lizheng winked at Mrs. Lizheng and gestured with his hand.
Miss Lizheng immediately went away with a smile.
"Lizheng, we still have to pay a visit to the homes of a few clansmen, so we'll be leaving first." Lin Fufu and the others couldn't refuse, so they had to accept Lizheng's new year's money, and then bid farewell to Lizheng.
Li Zheng and Mrs. Li Zheng personally sent the three of them to the gate, and watched them walk away before returning to their yard.
"I really didn't expect that Gospel girl would be so promising." Mrs. Lizheng glanced at Lizheng, and said with envy in her eyes: "I heard from some ladies in the town that Gospel and Liu The eldest son of the family opened Liuji restaurant in the county together, and he can earn this amount in a day!"
Lizheng saw his mother-in-law stretching out her hand and gestured three fingers.
He was funny, he only earns three thousand taels of silver a day? How is that possible? At least two three thousand taels of silver must be earned!
He heard that Lao Liu from the Liuji restaurant in the town was drunk and bragging outside. His son opened a restaurant in the county, and his daily turnover was tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"Did you give the lucky money to those three people as I said?" Li Zheng asked Mrs. Li Zheng.
"It's all given as you said, two taels of silver per person." Mrs. Lizheng said, but she still felt a little bit reluctant in her heart, and muttered: "Old man, it's better if you give the gospel a little more, and give those two little girls and Just like the Gospel, they only gave two taels of silver, and we still lost two taels of silver!"
Seeing that she was distressed, Li couldn't help but give his mother-in-law a look, "You are short-sighted! The two of them follow Lin Fufu, do you think they will be less successful in the future? I think Lin Fufu will take the two of them this time." Come to our house and go to the hometown of several clans to socialize, and make it clear that she will support these two sisters."
Gospel Lin would not offend someone he valued.
Sisters Lin Fufu and Lin Fen didn't know that after they left Lizheng's house, they were discussed for a long time by Lizheng and his wife. Fang went home.
The family elders of the clan gave ten taels of silver for the New Year, and Lin Fen and Lin Fang's family also took one tael to pay for it.
But the gifts given by the clan elders were not as rich as the Lizheng family's. Lizheng's family gave them two taels of silver as lucky money.
But the elders of the clan gave New Year's money of either 20 Wen or 10 Wen.
For these, Gospel Lin doesn't care.
When she was working outside, she still needed the elders of the Lizheng clan to help her keep the old house of the Lin family in charge, so some small money had to be spent.
Giving money to them this time, they supported her to do business outside even more, but they also hinted that she should not forget the folks after earning money, and Lin Fufu just laughed it off.
Some things are mutual and mutual, just take one step at a time.
"Go to our house and choose two new clothes." Seeing that Lin Fen and Lin Fang were about to go back, Lin Fufu stopped him immediately.
Lin Fen and Lin Fang couldn't resist her, so they left with a smile.
When the two of them had chosen their new clothes, Lin Fufu also chose an embroidered jacket and skirt in the color of a sunny day after the rain.
These jackets and skirts are the favorite styles of girls in Dawei in winter. They are warm and beautiful.
Lin Fufu took a look at the remaining sets and found that none of the colors she liked, so he planned to give Lin Xiaotao and Lin Xiaohe a set.
These two met at least twice recently, and they didn't say anything disgusting to her anymore. Judging by the expressions on their faces, it seemed that they didn't want to fight her anymore.
Since the little girl has changed, she, Lin Fufu, is naturally not that stingy.
There is also a set of scarlet jacket and skirt, which Lin Fufu intends to give to Da Ya.
Da Ya helped her collect beans and peanuts everywhere during this time, and she worked very hard and earnestly.
Lin Fufu sent Lin Fen and Lin Fang away, first took the scarlet jacket and skirt to Da Ya, and then asked Aunt Qin to send two sets of rose red jacket and skirt to the old house .
When Aunt Qin came back from the old house, she told Lin Fufu that Lin Xiaotao and Lin Xiaohe looked strange.
Lin Fufu didn't think much about it. After talking to Aunt Qin for a few words, he informed Grandma Li before washing up and going to bed.
Grandma Li and Aunt Qin have to watch the year, so they can't go to bed so early on New Year's Eve.
But just after the fifth watch on New Year's Day, Lin Fufu was woken up by the sound of crying outside and knocking on the door.
She frowned, sat up sleepily, and Grandma Li came in with a cold face.
"What's the matter, grandma?" Lin Fufu knew that something was wrong when he saw Grandma Li's ugly face.
Grandma Li also sighed, looked at Lin Fufu and said, "Over the old house of the Lin family, Xiao Tao and Xiao He escaped from home. They ran away with all the money and jewelry your grandma collected..."
"Huh?" Lin Fufu was really surprised this time. Lin Xiaotao and Lin Xiaohe fled with money from the old house of the Lin family?
"Have they sent someone to chase after him?" Lin Fufu asked hurriedly.
It is not a trivial matter for two little girls who are only about ten years old to take money and run away from home.
Gospel Lin is naturally worried.
"Your uncle has called someone to look for it, and your second uncle's family has also gone to look for it. Your uncle just knocked on the door, which means that you should go out and look for it." Grandma Li was very upset.
She thinks that Lin Fufu has lost weight these days, and it must be because of his business. The two little girls in the old house of the Lin family are not worrying, and they are going to run away from home...
"You said these two little girls, why are they so courageous that they stole the family's money and ran away?" Grandma Li was very puzzled, and glanced at Lin Fufu, "If this is found, it is not good. If you were beaten to death by your uncle, you will also be beaten to death by your grandmother."
After a pause, he continued: "Your grandma also came just now, and she said that she took the gold bracelet and ring bought by you and Erfang, and there were more than thirty taels of silver, not even a single copper plate was left for your grandma .Your grandma fell asleep last night, and she didn't even hear the sound of them turning over the box."
Lin Fufu knew the reason why Lin Xiaotao and Lin Xiaohe fled, and if they didn't leave any money to Mrs. Wu, it must be because they hated Mrs. Wu so much.
Speaking of which, those two little girls are also ruthless.
However, I can only blame the people in the old Lin family house. Looking at what they did, can you not feel chilled?
"Grandma, give Lizheng a hundred taels of silver for me, and ask him to find more people to help. The two little girls will not travel fast, and if they go well, they can be found." Lin Fufu said lazily.
When something happened to Mrs. Zhao, she knew she would come to look for her. In such a cold day, she couldn't go out, so it would be a good idea to give Lizheng someone to look for her with some money.
"Then why don't you go out with the Gospel?" Grandma Li asked, "I'm afraid people in the village will say it."
"What's the use of going out as a little girl?" Lin Fufu sneered, "Then my grandparents must be sitting at home, they are not afraid of being said, why should I be afraid of being said?"
"Well, yes, there was a thick layer of snow outside last night, and it was buried up to people's knees. It's no use for you little girl to go out." Grandma Li said.
Hearing that it was snowing, Lin Fufu frowned and asked, "Then they don't know how to look for footprints?"
It's snowing, walking in the snow will naturally leave footprints, just find someone to follow the footprints.
"Hey, they left early, the snow probably fell in the middle of the night, and there were no footprints in the snow, so it's troublesome." Grandma Li said.
"Well, let's talk about it. At least the big family will come and tell me when there is news." Lin Fufu put on the middle coat neatly while talking, and then put on the new jacket and skirt, Grandma Li When I saw it, my eyes lit up.
The fresh jacket and skirt embroidered with small magnolia flowers looked very thin on Lin Fufu, and it also made her complexion look bullying and snowy.
Grandma Li nodded in satisfaction. Gospel, whose stature gradually opened up, is more and more like the Chu family, even more attractive than the Chu family.
"Your uncle and your grandma were arguing outside just now, but I and your aunt Qin drove them away, and they went to Qian's house to quarrel again." Grandma Li shook her head helplessly after she finished speaking, "This is also true for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It's funny, the children in their own family ran away, and instead of looking for someone, they ran to someone's door and yelled, what did they say!"
No matter what funny things the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Wu and Zhao did, Lin Fufu didn't find it strange.
After packing up, she went to the next door to see the two little guys. She also took the little silver lock with her, intending to let the two little guys hang it around their necks.
As for the new year's money, Lin Fufu saved a thousand taels of silver for each of them.
But it was still early, and the two little ones were still soundly asleep. Lin Fufu couldn't wake them up, so he put the small silver lock on the table, and went back to his room.
Aunt Qin and Grandma Li went to the stove room to heat up dishes and order dumplings.
Lin Fufu went back to her room and took stock of the money she had earned. Although she had counted forty to fifty thousand taels of silver on her own body alone, the money couldn't stay on her for long. .
It doesn't take much money to open a few workshops in Qinglian County, and the goods produced by those workshops continue to earn money. It's a good cycle.
But then, what she thought was that Liu Ji Restaurant was about to expand.
Since the expansion, the best way is of course to open a branch.
There is a lot of preparation for opening a branch, and there is a lot of money to be spent.
First of all, it is necessary to buy a location to buy a shop.
Lin Fufu's initial plan is to open branches of Liuji Restaurant in Ning County and other surrounding counties, and then gradually open to the provincial capital.
There are four major counties around Qinglian County, namely Ning County, Hua County, Mouton County, and Shuo County.
To the south of Heshuo County is the provincial capital of Shuobei Province, the most important province in northern Xinjiang.
The provincial capital of Shuobei Province is also the most prosperous city in northern Xinjiang, with a large population and developed commerce.
Right now, Lin Fufu made the calculations, plus the purchase of shops and decorations, plus the labor hired, each sub-restaurant would cost at least 10,000 taels of silver.
And she is going to open four Liu Ji restaurants, so she will spend all her newly earned money.
But think about it, the big shopkeeper hasn't been found yet, so don't worry.
Lin Fufu was meditating here when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door softly.
Lin Fufu frowned in surprise.
When I opened the door, I found it was Oda.
I think so, Grandma Li and Aunt Qin would not knock on the door so softly.
"Xiao Tian, what's the matter?" Lin Fufu asked.
She remembered that she didn't see Xiaotian last night, but she forgot to give him the lucky money, so she turned around and took a red envelope from the dressing table and handed it to him with a smile, "This is from me. Lucky silver."
Seeing that the little girl who was six or seven years younger than him wanted to give him the lucky money, Oda blushed, but he still took it.
But then, he took out a small wooden box from his arms like a baby.
Lin Fufu looked over curiously.
Seeing that the small wooden box was pitch black, and looked very textured, Lin Fufu became even more curious.
"Miss, this is a New Year's gift for the young lady that the master sent someone to rush over last night. Because the young lady rested early last night, I didn't dare to disturb the young lady." Xiaotian explained carefully Then, he handed the small dark wooden box to Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu took it. Although he knew that it was sent by Huangfu Jin, he was very curious.
Looking at Xiao Tian's cautious appearance, what will Huangfu Jin give her?
Lin Fufu unexpectedly raised a strong anticipation in his heart.
