Chapter 77 So I'm the only one destined to be an errand boy?
Pei Sihai was naturally willing, but after all, he was just the steward of the Pei family.
There are still matters concerning the Sihai Restaurant that I cannot make decisions on, and if I start another business, I will inevitably have to use the Pei family's name.
Does this count as betraying one's master?
But if the Third Master agrees, it will be different. After the little princess was abducted, the lady was depressed. Although the Wu and Pei families have been trying their best to take care of her.
It was a heart ailment that was hard to cure, and she never had another child. Fortunately, she had Third Master by her side, which helped her get through the most difficult period.
It can be said that the lady had long regarded the Third Master as her own child.
If the Third Master were to handle matters for the Madam outside, she wouldn't even flinch.
Thinking this, Pei Sihai turned his gaze to Wu Qingfeng.
Lin Chang'er was unaware of their thoughts. Seeing that the two of them had not nodded for a long time, she smiled and said, "I know that it is indeed a bit abrupt to do this today."
How about this: I'll make a batch of candy as soon as possible so you can taste it and then make your decision.
Bai Shaoan waved his hand, about to say that he didn't need it, but Wu Qingfeng nodded and said, "That's very good."
If you want to do business, you always need to see the products.
If she could really make candy, her mother and aunt would certainly be happy to do the business.
Hearing this, Lin Chang'er felt relieved.
Remembering that they had come specifically for this event, he asked, "Did the three of you come today for the Golden Eel Auction or something else?"
Pei Sihai nodded and said, "I think Miss Lin's idea is very good. Seafood is unlikely to survive once it is brought ashore."
So before coming here today, I had someone distribute the post.
The date is set for tomorrow afternoon. I've come to inform Miss Lin that I've invited a total of 20 prominent business figures this time.
"Time is a bit tight, and I wonder if Miss Lin is having any difficulties preparing the sashimi ingredients?"
Lin Chang'er counted and found that she had taken a nest of sea urchins last night, about fifteen or sixteen in total, but she was still a few short.
Prepare other fish later; it would be great if we could catch some new species, like oysters.
Thinking this through, Lin Chang'er didn't say anything definitive, only saying, "Uncle Pei, don't worry, I will try my best to prepare. In the future, our sashimi will also need to be ordered in advance, and customers cannot specify what they want. Whatever we have, they will eat."
I reckon I can't guarantee everyone will eat the same thing, but I definitely won't hold Uncle Pei back.
Upon hearing this, Pei Sihai stroked his goatee and nodded, "Alright, then I'll leave this matter to Miss Lin."
After saying this, he exchanged a glance with Wu Qingfeng and then got up to take his leave.
"Wait a minute," Bai Shaoan raised his hand.
The other three people present immediately turned to look at him.
Bai Shaoan said eloquently, "I have an idea. Lin Daiyu's family has many children and lacks a few capable adults."
I want to stay tonight and help Lin Daiyu collect seafood.
Please inform my mistress when you return, Uncle Pei.
Pei Sihai was taken aback, "This..."
Wu Qingfeng also said, "In that case, I will stay and keep Brother Shao'an company."
Pei Sihai: "..." So I'm the only one destined to be an errand boy?
"Alright, we've all watched you grow up," Pei Sihai said resignedly. "Alright, then I'll head back to town to prepare for tomorrow's auction."
After seeing Pei Sihai off, Bai Shaoan rubbed his hands together, eager to get started. "Sister Lin, during the meal just now, I heard your child say that the fried small fish for lunch were caught by you yourself from the river?"
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Yes, we caught them ourselves."
"No, no, come on, take me to have some fun." Bai Shaoan rubbed his hands excitedly.
Lin Chang'er looked at the sky and said with difficulty, "I'm afraid it's not possible now. We usually put the traps in at night and take them in in the morning."
Bai Shaoan exclaimed "Ah!" and said disappointedly, "Is that so? Then... where can I take him to have some fun right now?"
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "At this time, would you two like to take a nap?"
Bai Shao'an felt a chill run down his spine, but since he was a guest, he went along with the host's suggestion and nodded, "Well, that works too."
Lin Chang'er called over Gu Silang and the others and told them what had happened.
Gu Silang, Xiao Jinyu, and Xu Gun'er hurriedly went back to the house to tidy up.
When the little goldfish came to reply, it also reminded Lin Chang'er, "Mother, it's time for your afternoon nap."
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "I know. You, your Uncle Gun'er, your Fourth Uncle, and Uncle Li should go to your Grandma's room for a nap at noon, okay?"
The little goldfish nodded, "Mom, don't worry about us. Brother Little Cow said we can sleep at his house at noon."
Lin Chang'er rubbed his head and said, "Go on, don't oversleep later."
The little goldfish made two "hmm" sounds and went to call its friends.
Lin Chang'er escorted Wu Qingfeng and Bai Shaoan to the door of Gu Silang's house, saying, "The house is simple, please make do with it."
Wu Qingfeng waved his hand, "It's alright."
After settling the two of them in, Lin Chang'er found Gu Dalang and Gu Erlang, asked for directions, and agreed that they would go and cut two bundles of sweet stalks after school before going back to her room for a nap.
At the same time, Lin Dashan had already found his younger sister Lin Zixi's home in town, where she was accompanying her to the exam.
Lin Zixi was serving Han Yue lunch when she heard someone knocking on the door. She was puzzled as to who would come at this hour.
When he realized it was his own elder brother, he was shocked again, especially seeing that his face was bruised and his body was covered in cow dung, making him smell terrible.
Lin Zixi covered her nose and took several steps back. "Big brother, what happened? You fell into the cowshed and didn't even wash up before coming over?"
Lin Dashan didn't have time to explain; he reached out and grabbed her arm. "Sis, you have to think of something..."
"Brother, don't move..." Lin Zixi was afraid that the smell on her brother would get on her, so she quickly moved away. "If you have something to say, just say it."
Lin Dashan knew that his younger sister had always been competitive and ambitious since childhood, always trying to outdo her uncle, the scholar's daughter, Lin Chang'er, that little slut.
Clothes must never be patched, not even a speck of mud.
Lin Dashan stood there and said, "That little bitch Lin Chang'er, I don't know how she found a new backer, she seems to have quite a background."
The man wanted to fight a lawsuit on her behalf to get back the family property left by her uncle.
They even beat us up like this..."
As for their disturbance at someone's home, shouting threats to beat and kill them and drown them in a pig cage, he didn't mention a word of it.
Lin Zixi was startled. What?
Since the eldest uncle had no descendants, wasn't it the age-old tradition that after his death, the family property would be inherited by his brothers?
What kind of man is he that he wants to seek justice for Lin Chang'er?
Do they even deserve this justice? They even dared to hit people; it's utterly outrageous.
Lin Zixi frowned, feeling that the man was ignorant and arrogant.
He cursed inwardly, then began to envy Lin Chang'er.
Even though she's a widow, there are still men willing to stand up for her.
Why wasn't she so lucky?
Although Han Yue promised that he would marry her after he passed the imperial examination.
But right now, everything he eats, wears, lives in, and uses is something she brought from home.
Furthermore, if it weren't for her quick thinking at the time, which led her father to tell that lie and establish a relationship with that person, Han Yue might not have been willing to get engaged to her.
Even so, when that short-lived Gu Sanlang died, he still had designs on that little bitch Lin Chang'er.
How could she not be jealous?
