Inside the thatched house.
Su Xin did not expect that two groups of people would come to the house early in the morning to see his wife.
He looked at his grandma who was sitting in a wheelchair and said, "I'm really sorry, my wife has something to do today and won't be back until later. I have to wait until she comes back to decide on the apprenticeship ceremony."
Grandmother nodded indifferently, "Then I'll go outside and wait for her to come home. I'll build a thatched house for my son by the way, so I won't disturb you anymore."
Sun's mother was pushed out of the yard by the servants. When she heard that her daughter slept on the bullock cart last night, she asked people from the martial arts school to buy some wood and prepare to build a small shed outside for her to live in.
Su Xin looked at the somewhat lost man beside him. He was very good-looking, and his movements were calm and generous.
It was Xu Dong's family who had met once in the county government.
"Dong Xu, are you here to buy medicine? My wife told me when she left, I will get it for you right away."
Xu Qiuhuan stood up and saluted, "Sorry to trouble you."
As the second husband, Shen Shi'an took the initiative to go to the house and get the medicine. However, Lin Shu didn't explain how much he would charge when he said it. He just stood aside and stared at the person who collected the medicine.
The person Xu Qiuhuan led was very discerning. When he saw that the owner had collected the medicine, he took out a few banknotes and handed them over.
Su Xin looked at it. There were three bottles of medicine and three hundred taels. Is the wife selling a panacea?
But he wouldn't say that he gave too much. After all, the things his wife sells must be the best.
After putting away the banknote, he opened his mouth and prepared to see the guests off, "I'm afraid that business in Dongxu's restaurant is busy, so I won't keep you here."
After hearing this, Xu Qiuhuan thought about how to find out Lin Shu's whereabouts, so she took the hot tea that had just been served next to her and took a sip.
His eyes lit up, this tea... was much better than the one in his restaurant, it tasted like nothing he had ever tasted before.
"This tea is very good, but I don't know what kind of tea it is made from?"
Shen Shi'an: "The wild tea on the mountain in the village has no name. If Mr. Xu likes it, I will go get some and you can take it back and drink it."
Xu Qiuhuan nodded, "That's very good. I intend to buy this tea for the restaurant. I don't know when Ms. Lin will come back so I can talk to her about it."
Shen Shi'an and Su Xin looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
"My wife only said that she went to Qingshan Village, but she didn't say when she would be back. I will talk to my wife about this tonight."
Qingshan Village?
Xu Qiuhuan got the answer and saluted the two of them, "First husband, second husband, I'll take my leave then."
Looking at the departing figures, Su Xin and Shen Shi'an were both startled. In the end, this title was a bit too close.
Shen Shi'an walked around the room and sat aside angrily, "Brother Xin, we may have a new brother."
Su Xin is still happy about the tea.
Hearing this, he was a little puzzled, "Who is it? Did the wife tell you that?"
Shen Shi'an rolled the words to his lips, feeling that it would be bad to say it, but he didn't feel happy about it.
"Brother Xing, I'm just telling you, you can't spread the word."
"There are only two of us in this house. Who can I talk to? Just tell me."
Shen Shi'an came close to Su Xin and whispered: "Then Mr. Xu looked anxious as soon as he entered our yard. Hearing that his wife was not here, he was devastated."
"And look at the clothes he wore today, they are similar to what we wear. How could he, the owner of a big restaurant, wear such cheap clothes as ours."
Su Xin frowned and thought. It seemed that the last time they met, Xu Dong's family was wearing fine fabrics, and the clothes had some complicated patterns. Today's clothes are all plain color, which matches the thatched house very well.
Shen Shi'an continued, "Look at the gifts on the table. They are said to be for the wife as a restaurant benefit, but those things are not cheap, and there are many categories, all of which can be used at home."
"The most important thing is that he saluted us, and his posture was a little lower. It was not a common courtesy."
He had often been dragged to those drinking parties before, so he was somewhat familiar with these twists and turns.
"Which owner cares so much about an ordinary cooperative merchant?"
Even if it was just to buy medicine, it was an equal buyer-seller relationship. How could you be so low-key to the two of them?
That last sentence seems a bit flattering and showing weakness.
Su Xin was a little dubious, he couldn't see the salute aspect.
"It's normal for someone to admire someone as good as my wife."
Shen Shi'an sighed, "I don't have anything on my mind. I just hope that my wife is serious and doesn't hide it from us. This is just a guess on my part. I won't go into details. I'll go pick some tea leaves and come back in case someone really wants to buy it. , the family also has multiple businesses.”
Su Xin nodded, "Remember to bring a few guards and pay attention to safety. My wife has told me."
"Yeah, I know."
…
It was a bit novel for Lin Shu to drive a carriage for the first time, and he slowly got started under the guidance of the carriage driver assigned by the dealership.
Qingshan Village is the richest village with the most people named Qian Yuanwai.
There is also a big road not far from the village, which is perfect for catching a horse-drawn carriage.
Still dozens of meters away from Qingshan Village, Lin Shu got out of the car and said, "Auntie, just wait for me here."
After saying that, a man walked towards the road. After turning a corner, he saw a man sitting on a stool at the entrance of the village and dozing off.
Lin Shu walked past her into the village without saying a word. The man sneezed and woke up.
"Hey, who are you! Those who are not from our village are not allowed to enter!"
Lin Shu turned his back to her and waved his hands, telling lies, "I'll come find my third mother-in-law. You can continue to sleep."
As he finished speaking, there was a sound of banging a pot behind him, "Here comes someone, a stranger has entered the village!"
Lin Shu turned to look at her banging the iron pot with a wooden stick and raised an eyebrow.
After a while, many villagers poured out from all around, all surrounding Lin Shu.
The crowd dispersed, and a middle-aged woman walked out with a man.
Lin Shu was slightly startled, Yan Fei?
The middle-aged woman bowed her hands to Lin Shu, "It turns out it's Mr. Lin's family in Xiaxiachi. He's the steward of this village."
She waved to everyone: "There's a misunderstanding, please let it go."
Lin Shu looked her over and said, "Do you know me?"
"When I learned that my boss had changed people, I naturally went to inquire about it, so I got the portrait of Mr. Lin. Don't blame my boss."
"What happened to those villagers just now?"
"My boss's granary is in the village. Naturally, we have to be careful about strangers entering the village, lest someone steal the food."
Lin Shu believed her, but she didn't say much, "I'll go to the fields to see how the food is growing."
As he walked, he glanced at Yan Fei and said, "This man is quite handsome. Is he your son?"
Yan Fei couldn't help but twitch his lips. He just came to deliver a letter, but in the end he became someone else's son.
Fang Chi smiled and said, "He's my distant nephew. He's here to visit today."
"No wonder they don't look alike."
Lin Shu looked at the fork in the ground and walked to the right, when Fang Chi stopped her.
"Master, the land is on the left."
Lin Shu ignored her and continued walking, "Most of the land in the village belongs to me. I can go wherever I want."
The road on this ground is obviously harder and more solid than the ground on the left, as if people or cars often walk on it.
But when the villagers dispersed just now, they all walked to the left to return to the village, which she found strange.
After walking for a while, I saw three large sheds, filled with messy wheat straw, with a pile of vegetable baskets piled next to them, and a few flies flying around.
"What does this do?"
Fang Chi said: "This is the place where the villagers kill pigs during the Chinese New Year. They will invite pig butchers to kill the pigs here together, and usually just put the sundries there."
