"How to escape?" Lin Xiaotao's heart moved when she heard Lin Xiaohe's idea.
She didn't know that Cousin Xuemei couldn't get out of bed because of that old rich man's beating, but now that she knew it, she just felt cold on the soles of her feet.
She was 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!
Seeing that Lin Xiaotao had the urge to escape this time, Lin Xiaohe was overjoyed.
"Didn't Sister Gospel and Sister Fen both buy gold jewelry for grandma today? There is also twenty taels of silver from Sister Gospel!" Lin Xiaohe's eyes flashed a calm light, "I know grandma likes to give away valuables. Where are the things hidden? Tonight, their adults will watch the New Year's Eve and will not go to bed until very late. When grandma falls asleep, I will go and steal all the valuable things of grandma, and the two of us will leave!"
"But... but, can you steal it? Grandpa and grandma are getting old, so they sleep lightly." Lin Xiaotao said worriedly.
Lin Xiaohe wasn't worried at all, it could be said that she had already planned to escape from the old Lin's house, but she was 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 great opportunity.
It is not only suitable for stealing money, but also suitable for driving at night. Every household has to sleep with lights on this night, and the lights will be turned off 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.
She now understands that if she wants to live well, she must rely on Lin Fufu.
She thought that when she really left the Lin family's old house, maybe Sister Gospel and Sister Fen would not hate her so much.
Even if it is to let her clean the floor and wash the dishes, it is better to earn a living with her own labor, than to stay 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, and others don't know about it, but they know about the fact that the main road in the county is wider.
Moreover, Lin Fufu has now opened a workshop for making small snacks, as well as a workshop for making biscuit eggs and preserved eggs, which has solved many 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 village with the poorest population to the richest village in just a few months because of Lin Gospel.
Now there are 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. Li Zheng handed over the finishing of the New Year's Eve dinner to the 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.
Then she glanced calmly at Lin Fang who was sitting next to Lin Fufu. This girl used to be aggressive, but she definitely didn't have such a good sitting posture and confident eyebrows as she does today.
Mrs. 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 is said, I won't 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 Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Lin that she and Lin Fen had bought gold jewelry and given 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 all right. From now on, no one in Hulu Village will be able to say anything about you." The way of words.
Lin Fufu understood, and Lizheng was reassuring her that he would prove it for the sisters when someone spread bad words in the future.
It is good to deal with smart people, Lin Fufu thanked him, and 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." Lin Fufu 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."
Mrs. 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!"
"And give the children a new year's money." Lizheng winked at Mrs. Lizheng, and gestured with his hand.
Lady Lizheng immediately went away with a smile.
"Lizheng, we still have to pay a visit to the homes of a few old clansmen, so we're leaving first." Lin Fufu and the others couldn't refuse, so they had to accept the new year's money from Lizheng, 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 girl Gospel would have such a future." Mrs. Lizheng glanced at Lizheng, and said with envy in her eyes: "I heard from some ladies in the town that Gospel and the eldest son of the Liu family The partner opened Liuji restaurant in the county, and they can earn this amount in a day!"
Li Zheng saw his mother-in-law stretching out her hand and making three finger gestures.
He was amused in his heart, only earning 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 Old 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.
"You gave the lucky money to those three people according to what I said?" Li Zheng asked Mrs. Li Zheng.
"All according to what 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 Gospel more, and giving those two little girls is the same as Gospel. They only gave two taels of silver, and we lost two taels of silver!"
Li Zheng saw that she was distressed, so he couldn't help giving his mother-in-law a look, "You mother-in-law is short-sighted! The two of them follow Lin Fufu, do you think they will be less successful in the future? I think Lin Fufu brought the two of them to our house this time. He went to the hometown of several clans to socialize, and made it clear that she would support the two sisters."
People whom Lin Fufu valued, he would naturally not offend them.
Lin Fufu and Lin Fen sisters didn't know that after they left Lizheng's house, they were discussed by Lizheng and his wife for a long time. They went to several houses in a row, and after giving away the money, they didn't stay much, so they went home with Lin Fen and Lin Fang. gone.
The family elders 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 to them by the clan elders were not as generous as those of the Lizheng family. The Lizheng family gave them two liang of silver for the New Year's Eve.
But the elders of the clan gave New Year's money of either 20 Wen or 10 Wen.
Gospel Lin didn't care about these.
When she was working outside, she still needed the elders of the Lizheng family to help her keep the old house of the Lin family in charge, so some small money had to be spent.
This time they gave them money, and they supported her to do business outside, 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, both sides, 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 hold back her, so they left with a smile.
After the two 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 the Wei Dynasty to wear in winter. They are warm and beautiful.
Lin Fufu took a look at the remaining sets and found that the colors were not to her liking, 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. Judging from 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 plans to give to Da Ya.
During this period of time, Da Ya helped her collect beans and peanuts everywhere. She worked very hard and earnestly, and it was worth giving her a set of jackets and skirts worth seven or eight taels of silver.
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 of the 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 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 that your grandma collected..."
"Huh?" Lin Fufu was really surprised this time. Lin Xiaotao and Lin Xiaohe fled with the money from the old Lin family house
"Did they send 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.
Lin Fufu was 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's mother just knocked on the door, which means that you should also go out and look for it." Grandma Li was very upset.
She felt that Lin Fufu had lost weight these days, and it must be because of his business. The two little girls in the old house of the Lin family were not worrying, and they wanted to escape from home...
"You said these two little girls, why are they so courageous to take the family's money and run away?" Grandma Li couldn't figure it out, and glanced at Lin Fufu, "If this is found, it will not be your uncle. If you beat him to death, you will also be beaten to death by your grandma."
After a pause, he continued: "Your grandma also came just now, saying that she took away the gold bracelets and rings bought by you and Erfang, and there were more than thirty taels of silver, not even a single copper coin was left for your grandma. Your grandma I fell asleep last night, and I didn't even hear the sound of them turning over the box."
However, Lin Fufu knew the reason why Lin Xiaotao and Lin Xiaohe fled, and because they didn't leave any money to Mrs. Wu, they must have hated Mrs. Wu so much.
Speaking of which, those two little girls were 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 lazily road.
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 you don't want to go out with the gospel?" Grandma Li asked, "I'm afraid that 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 good 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, and 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. There are 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 the new jacket and skirt on his body. Grandma Li saw it. eyes lit up.
After the rain, 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 body was gradually opening up, was becoming 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 your aunt Qin and I drove them away, and they went to Qian's house to quarrel again." Grandma Li shook her head helplessly after speaking, "This is also funny for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The children in the family ran away, and they didn't go to find someone by themselves, but ran to the door of someone's house and shouted, what kind of words!"
No matter what funny things Wu and Zhao did to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Lin Fufu didn't find it strange.
After packing up, she went to the next door to see the two little guys, and took the little silver lock with her, intending to let the two little guys hang it around their necks.
As for the lucky money, Lin Fufu saved one thousand taels of silver for each of them.
But it was still early, and the two little guys 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 dishes and order dumplings.
Lin Fufu returned to her room and took stock of the money she had earned. Although she had counted 40,000 to 50,000 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.
Now that it is expanding, the best way is of course to open a branch.
To open a branch requires a lot of preparation, 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 preliminary plan was 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.
Going 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 big city in northern Xinjiang, with a large population and developed commerce.
At the moment, 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 was going to open four Liu Ji restaurants, so all the money she earned recently would be spent.
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 he opened the door, he 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 New Year's money, so she turned around and took a red envelope from the dressing table and handed it to him with a smile, "This is the New Year's money I gave you." .”
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, and then Passed the small dark wooden box to Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu reached out to pick it up. Although he knew that it was sent by Huangfujin, he was very curious.
Seeing Xiao Tian's cautious appearance, what will Huangfu Jin give her
Lin Fufu unexpectedly raised a strong anticipation in his heart.
