Chapter 133 Stop pretending, I see through you.
That evening, Lin Fei, his face bruised and swollen, washed loquat leaves, looking utterly miserable.
Zhu Mei sat beside him, legs crossed, watching him intently as he worked.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shuzhi was trying to coax Lin Yong, who was furious and wouldn't listen to reason.
Pressure clashes, resulting in strong winds and torrential rain.
Gao Mengli took a sip of the ginger and brown sugar water, looked at this and that, and clicked her tongue for a long time.
Finally, she understood why the second and third wives had chosen Zhu Mei to work as a porter at the dock.
This is entirely because this woman is not only incredibly strong, but also quite fierce...
Lin Fei is tongue-tied and can't express himself clearly.
Her mother-in-law is usually shrewd, but she has tried to coax Lin Yong for a long time without success.
This thing, the offspring resemble the mother, it's all hereditary...
"Mengli, come and try the loquat syrup!" Lin Xi picked up a glass of loquat syrup, blew on it to cool it down, and placed it in front of Gao Mengli.
Gao Mengli shifted her gaze from those people and looked at the loquat syrup in front of her.
She scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth. The moment it entered her mouth, Gao Mengli's eyes lit up. "Sweet but not cloying, soothing and comforting!"
When the others heard her say that, they all looked up, their faces filled with longing.
Lin Yong couldn't hold back his anger any longer and quickly stood to the side, keeping an eye on Gao Mengli's bowl.
Zhu Mei stopped supervising the work and quickly stood up, lining up next to Lin Yong.
Lin Xi pursed her lips and gestured with her mouth towards the kitchen, "Dad, the 20 small earthenware jars you bought are all full, and there's still about a pound left in that pot. Take an earthenware jar and put it back."
I originally planned to make only a pound or two for Mengli to drink, and save the rest of the brown sugar to drink slowly later.
Unfortunately, his father picked too many loquat leaves, and after using all the brown sugar and fritillaria, half the leaves were still left...
Upon hearing this, Lin Yong was overjoyed. "Oh my, this is a real gem! It sells for 500 coins a jar at the pharmacy, and each jar contains half a jin!"
Make big money!
Even if they only make up a pound and a half, they can still save 1 ounces!
If Gao Mengli knew about this idea, she would definitely laugh so hard she'd spit out water!
It's just like the money-saving methods of later generations—you can save money as long as you don't buy anything!
I saved 4 yuan by not buying the lemonade I wanted!
I saved 50 yuan by not buying the car I wanted!
I saved two million by not buying the house I wanted!
They didn't buy the plane they wanted, saving 130 million!
Then he discovered that he had become a "billionaire" by saving money!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhi, who was standing nearby, quickly ran home and found a clean earthenware jar.
Carefully scoop the loquat syrup from the pot into the jar.
After scooping out the loquat paste, don't forget to add a ladle of water to the pot to dissolve any remaining bits and pieces that couldn't be scooped out.
Zhu Mei took a large bowl and ladled out the loquat syrup.
Before leaving, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made sure to instruct Lin Fei and Lin Chi to clean up the main house, courtyard, and kitchen!
Lin Yong rubbed his hands excitedly and followed the two back to the next room.
Lin Chi suddenly clutched his stomach and cried out "Ouch!" before making a hasty escape to urinate.
Only Lin Fei, with a bruised and swollen face, Gao Mengli, and Lin Xi remained in the courtyard.
One stare, two glares!
"Thank you for your hard work, Second Brother! Mengli isn't feeling well, and I have to go to the county town to open my shop tomorrow, so I'll leave the courtyard to you, Second Brother!"
Lin Xi left a message and quickly "helped" Gao Mengli turn around and go into the house.
Before leaving, he made sure to take Gao Mengli's loquat syrup with him.
Night falls, and a spring breeze blows.
Lin Fei was utterly miserable and heartbroken.
After tidying up the yard, I went back to the neighbor's house.
Only one room was still dimly lit.
Lin Fei pushed open the door and went in. Zhu Mei quickly waved to him, "Brother Fei, come and try the loquat syrup that your older brother made. I saved it for you!"
Lin Fei's vision blurred.
He quickly sat down at the table and affectionately nuzzled Zhu Mei with his head, saying, "Mei'er, you're the one who loves me the most!"
Zhu Mei gently patted Lin Fei's head and chuckled, "You idiot, don't poke me, the child's watching!"
"I didn't see anything!" Lin Fu, who was lying in bed, quickly covered his eyes with his hands, but the gaps between his hands were too big.
Upon hearing this, Lin Fei immediately sat up straight, put on a stern face, and glared at Lin Fu, saying, "You turn your back to me."
"Oh!" Lin Fu chuckled to himself and quickly turned his back to sleep.
Upon seeing this, Lin Fei immediately beamed with joy and clung to Zhu Mei's hand, acting coquettishly!
He's been watching his older brother Lin Xi's every move for quite some time now.
That's how his older brother "acts cute" towards his sister-in-law!
He's so smart!
Zhu Mei felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly nudged him and straightened her expression. "Please, be normal. You're disgusting me!"
That's what she said, but the smile in her eyes didn't diminish!
"Hehe, Mei'er, you're so nice!" Lin Fei chuckled.
"Alright, drink up, we still need to make tissues tomorrow." Zhu Mei smiled and poked Lin Fei's forehead with her finger.
"Ok!"
Lin Fei responded and took a sip of the loquat syrup.
It tasted sweet in my mouth, and even sweeter in my heart.
The next day.
Zhao Chen drove the carriage over.
Gao Mengli had Lin Xi bring out 13 jars of loquat syrup and place them on the carriage.
Ten cans are for their eldest son, and the remaining three cans are for Qian Yan'er and the others.
After all, his eldest son had been kidnapped, and instead of comforting him, the two of them ran off to watch the commotion. So, this is a way to soothe his wounded little heart!
Once we arrive in the county town, we can simply have Zhao Chen deliver it there.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi had just arrived at the shop a short while ago.
Tang Guangjun then brought Wen Chou over.
"Hey boss, boss lady, I heard you sell rough paper towels! I'm here to order $20 worth!"
As soon as Tang Guangjun entered, he got straight to the point and stated his purpose!
"Do not sell!"
Just as Gao Mengli and Lin Xi were about to strike up a conversation, the chubby girl came running out, head held high, her muscular chest puffed out, and stood between the group!
Everyone was taken aback by the chubby girl's sudden action. Gao Mengli pulled the chubby girl aside and asked, "Girl, what's wrong?"
Why not take this business that's practically handed to you?!
Gao Mengli was completely confused, but more than that, she was curious.
The chubby girl glared angrily at Tang Guangjun and Wen Chou before turning to Gao Mengli and whispering, "They are the people who kidnapped you at the city gate last time. They are the clerk and magistrate of Pingding County."
It was my older brother, Qin Shen Shen, who told me this.
However, due to insufficient evidence, Dou Weiyi couldn't do anything about them.
However, my older brother showed me their portraits and warned me to be vigilant when I see them and to protect your safety.
Upon hearing this, Gao Mengli nodded knowingly with a deep gaze.
The way they looked at Tang Guangjun and Wen Chou changed.
This county magistrate is doing petty theft?! She looked around at herself, realizing she wasn't exactly a stunning beauty. Why tie her up?
I can't figure it out.
He stroked his chin, staring at Tang Guangjun.
Tang Guangjun felt uneasy under the gaze, and the smile on his face could barely be maintained.
However, he didn't care about the gaze of a woman, after all, the man in charge, Lin Xi, was still in front of him!
He quickly stepped forward, took out some silver, and said, "Boss, this is the money for 20 dollars of coarse paper towels, totaling 1 taels. Count it!"
