"Okay." Lady Chen interrupted her, frowning slightly, "No matter if she has money or not, as long as she enters my shop, she is my guest. Please find another place to settle the grievances between the Lin family and her. "
Lin Wanmiao heard the alienation in Mrs. Chen's words, her heart sank, and her eyes turned red again.
She had spent so much time trying to get closer to the young master of the Chen family, but her efforts fell short after meeting Ming Xi today!
Continuing to stay will only make Mrs. Chen's impression worse. If she wants to enter Chen's embroidery workshop, she can only find opportunities in the future...
Lin Wanmiao bit her lip. No matter how unwilling she was, she had to force out a stiff smile and said to Mrs. Chen: "Sister Chen, I know you have some misunderstandings about me, but it doesn't matter. Time will tell people's hearts. In a few days, I will go to your door again and explain it to Sister Chen in person."
Mrs. Chen's wife nodded slightly and replied calmly: "What is pure will become pure by itself, and what is turbid will become turbid. You don't have to take today's matters too seriously. Go home first, and we can meet again in a few days when I am free."
This did not directly allow Lin Wanmiao to come to the house to explain in a few days, but said "we will meet again when we are free." As for when we will be free, it is a bit intriguing.
Lin Wanmiao forced a smile, but she was too embarrassed to stay any longer. After giving Mingxi a sinister look, she walked out of the clothing store.
However, the moment she stepped out of the ready-made clothing store and faced the probing glances and whispers outside the door, Lin Wanmiao's face turned pale!
She felt overwhelming regret!
What happened to me? ! Why couldn't you hold it back? She actually got into a quarrel when Mingxi got aroused, which made people laugh in vain and left a bad impression on Mrs. Chen's family!
Ahhhh, this broom star is really haunting!
It’s been more than a year, but you still dare to go back to the county! What is she trying to do? Do you still want to take revenge on the Lin family? Why don't you look at how much you weigh?
Lin Wanmiao became more and more angry as she walked away. She was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. Finally, she couldn't help but turn around and come back——
She doesn't believe Mingxi is rich! As long as Mingxi can't afford to buy those clothes, Sister Chen will know that woman is an unscrupulous liar!
She must watch Mingxi roll out of the clothing store in disgrace with her own eyes!
There is no way Mingxi has money. She came to her house two months ago to beg for money and borrow food. There is no way she has money to buy clothes! Impossible, impossible, impossible...
Lin Wanmiao returned to the clothing store and hid in the narrow alley diagonally opposite. Her emotions were ups and downs, muttering about the impossibility. After waiting for a long time, Ming Xi finally appeared at the door of the clothing store.
Lin Wanmiao held her breath and widened her eyes——
She saw the couple in charge of entertaining guests in the store, nodding and bowing and sending Mingxi to the door!
what happened? ? ?
Why are they so polite to Mingxi? Could it be that Mingxi really bought those clothes?
impossible!
That's eight taels of silver! Eight taels! ! !
Even when my father was still the shopkeeper of Wanfeng Restaurant, he only earned three taels of silver a month. How could an abandoned woman in Mingxi spend eight taels of silver to buy clothes at once? ! !
Lin Wanmiao's brain was buzzing, and she followed her like a ghost. Then she saw with her own eyes that Ming Xi took the child and mother-in-law into another shoe store. When the group came out again, the mother and daughter's feet were all replaced with new ones. shoe!
Crazy, really crazy... Where did Mingxi get the money? !
Lin Wanmiao continued to follow, and saw Mingxi buying cloth at the cloth store, hairpins at the jewelry store, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, rattles, bamboo balls, wooden tops and a bunch of children's toys at the grocery store, and also bought a bunch of children's toys at the book store. Several books!
She could no longer calculate how much money Mingxi spent, but the way Mingxi spent money like water deeply hurt Lin Wanmiao's heart!
Ming Xi in front walked further and further away, while Lin Wanmiao's legs in the back were as if they were filled with lead, frozen in place and motionless.
"I have to go home and tell my mother and brother..." She turned pale and murmured to herself, "This is not normal... Mingxi must have climbed onto a high branch, and maybe he will deal with the Lin family... Yes, that must be the case. , I have to tell my family quickly!"
The jealousy seemed to have an outlet at this moment. Lin Wanmiao felt that she felt so uncomfortable entirely because she was worried that her family would be retaliated by Mingxi.
She hurried towards home and left the street without looking back.
Mingxi on the street finally stopped buying.
It's not because she has bought enough, there are really many things that she can't buy, such as those beautiful red lacquered armchairs, the unique tilt-top desk, the rounded corner cabinet with a small copper lock, and the exquisitely carved basin stand, Mingxi almost fell in love with every one of the lamp stands, benches, square stools, and round drums, and wanted to buy them all.
But thinking about my unsatisfactory thatched house, how to put these things away after buying them?
Build a house, build a house! Build a new house quickly!
She couldn't wait any longer.
Mingxi gave the two women fifty cash each, and also paid them to hire a day laborer to help deliver the things she bought to Heshang Village, and then went straight to the county government office with her three daughters——
When she becomes a female household, she can buy land and build a house!
Ming Xi was quite excited when he saw an ancient public institution for the first time. When he saw the policeman guarding the door, it was like seeing his own colleagues~(*^▽^*)
She was holding her three children and was thinking about how to go up and say hello. Then she saw Zhao Lizheng and his third child walking out of the county government office. There was a middle-aged man they didn't know next to them.
"Uncle Zhao!" Mingxi greeted him in surprise.
Zhao Lizheng looked up and was a little surprised, "It turns out to be the wife of the Ming family. Why did you bring your child here?"
Mingxi smiled and said, "I'm here to ask about opening a female household."
Zhao Lizheng smiled when he heard this and said, "I'm here for this too. I thought I'd come over in advance to inquire about it so that you wouldn't have to deal with the rules. No, I've already found someone for you -"
Zhao Lizheng said, introducing the middle-aged man next to him, "This is my cousin Zhao Youde. He is a clerk in the county government. I have already asked him about the female household. You can just come to him directly tomorrow with your identity documents." .”
The middle-aged man looked somewhat similar to Zhao Lizheng, but his face was younger and more shrewd. With a polite smile on his face, he nodded to Ming Xi, "Ms. Brother has made it clear to me, you can just come directly to me tomorrow to take care of it."
Mingxi's eyes widened in surprise, "I-I really don't know how to thank you! Otherwise, I'll treat these two uncles to a drink!"
If she had to handle this matter by herself, she didn't know who to ask her grandfather to sue her grandma to, but Zhao Lizheng helped her handle the matter without saying a word. How could Mingxi not be ecstatic?
"We are all from the same village. As the leader, I should help out and stop drinking." Zhao Lizheng waved his hand and refused, "You are a woman and it is not easy to have some money. You can raise a few children in the future. .”
Zhao Youde stood aside with a smile, but he was a little impatient in his heart, but he was used to it. Because his cousin was the leader of a village, he liked to do everything for him. He would always come to the county for ten and a half months. The government came to see him several times.
If others ask him to do things for him, he can get some benefits, but if he helps his cousin do things, he won't get any benefits at all, and he has to make connections with them.
