Quick Transmigration – The Innately Wicked – Chapter 65

Ch 65: Cold-Door Old Madam 13

Watching her thoughts being exposed, Eldest Daughter-in-Law was both ashamed and embarrassed, finally slapping her thigh, “Wasn’t I thinking for this family? Mom, we are different from Second Daughter-in-Law and Third Daughter-in-Law, we are the eldest son and legitimate grandson, not to mention that I gave birth to three sons, based on this alone, I am a meritorious person of the Old Lin Family!

Moreover, I didn’t want the shop, I was just asking them to borrow it, and I will give them rent after I make money!”

“Alright, don’t tell me this, I’m old, I don’t care about these trivial matters. Now that the family is divided, everyone has their own fate, don’t always stare at the little things in other people’s pockets!” Lin Lang’s face was a little ugly.

Eldest Daughter-in-Law wanted to open her mouth, but looking at Lin Lang’s ugly face, she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and in a blink of an eye, it’s Chinese New Year’s Eve. This is a day for family reunion. Although the two families have separated, they still reunite together. Lin Lang also knows the personality of Eldest Daughter-in-Law, so she specially asked Taohua to take out some of the chicken, duck, fish, meat, and even pastries that she bought before.

Eldest Son and Third Son were both a little unhappy because of Second Son’s fortune, but it’s really true that one’s own failure is certainly a pity, but the success of a friend is even more heartbreaking. They envy Second Son’s fortune, the most important thing is that they can’t take advantage of Second Son at all, which is even more heartbreaking!

Second Son also knew that he had become rich this year, so he brought a lot of things very generously. Each household received a bolt of cloth, except for Lin Lang’s family, which received two bolts. He even gave Lin Lang five taels of silver as filial piety money!

Lin Lang didn’t say anything, directly accepted the money, and at the same time exhorted, “Even if you are successful, don’t forget your brothers. Eldest Son has no ability, he is just soft-hearted, and I guess he will be a farmer for the rest of his life. Although Third Son has studied, he is restless. When he has been tempered for a few years and his temperament is more stable, maybe he can help you!”

Eldest Son’s expression was normal, but Third Son’s face was a little ugly. He was also a Tong Sheng, and he would work under his brother, and he was still an illiterate farmer. It was inevitable that he would lose face if it spread out!

“Mom, this year’s spring exam is about to start, I want to try again!” Third Son was still unwilling.

Lin Lang didn’t even lift her eyelids, “Dividing the family is your own business, don’t tell me, and don’t disturb the peace of your two brothers!”

Eldest Daughter-in-Law almost laughed out loud when she heard this, and felt that her mother-in-law was really right. She didn’t want to subsidize her younger uncle anymore, especially since the two families had separated, so there was no relationship at all. Spending money on such a person is equivalent to throwing money into the water!

Everyone finished the New Year’s Eve dinner unhappily, and then sat in the hall. Lin Lang also took this opportunity to give each grandson and granddaughter a red envelope, not much, each was twenty Wen.

Third Daughter-in-Law’s eyes turned red, “It’s a pity that my child is not blessed, he is so old, and he doesn’t even have a red envelope!”

Lin Lang didn’t lack this little money, so she immediately gave Third Daughter-in-Law a red envelope, “Alright, don’t say such unpleasant things during the New Year!”

Third Daughter-in-Law showed a satisfied smile, and by the way, she took over the red envelopes of her two children, so now she has sixty Wen.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, the children came to pay New Year’s greetings again. Lin Lang didn’t want them to go back empty-handed, so she asked Taohua to take out the candies she had bought before and gave each child a piece of candy!

Candy was a precious thing in ancient times. Ordinary people couldn’t eat a piece all year round, so the children cherished it very much, holding the candy and licking it slowly.

Xia Zhi was not interested in these candies, so she turned around and gave the candy to her youngest sister, and said to Lin Lang with a smile, “Grandma, I plan to open a shop after the New Year, but what kind of shop do you think I should open?”

◈◈◈

Lin Lang was not interested in the get-rich-quick scheme of the female lead in a farming novel, but she still gave a few pointers, “Your shop is a bit small, you can’t do any big business, and your father’s leg is still injured. It’s easy to be targeted by others if you go out to do business with your orphaned mother and daughter, so let’s talk about it in a while!”

Xia Zhi thought about it carefully and felt that what her grandma said was right. Anyway, there was no rush to do business, so she discussed it with her parents and directly rented out the shop. The annual rent was two taels of silver!

Eldest Daughter-in-Law was so angry when she learned about this, “It’s the same to rent it to others and to rent it to our own family, why don’t you rent it to us? After all, Second Brother is still distant!”

“If you are willing to give money, people will naturally be willing to rent it to you, but you are not willing to pay a penny, so why should people rent it to you? It is not easy for Second Son’s family, especially since Second Son’s leg is still injured, and he has to rest for at least a while. Second Daughter-in-Law is still pregnant, with the old and the young in the family, you don’t think about helping, but you always want to take advantage of others, you are really black-hearted!”

Eldest Daughter-in-Law didn’t dare to say anything. As spring approached, the other farmers in this area had already run out of food, so most people went outside to dig wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

Lin Lang’s family didn’t lack anything to eat, so she still took her youngest daughter to dig wild vegetables, pick mushrooms, pick bamboo shoots…

When Lin Lang saw the bamboo shoots, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she picked a large pile and sent a little to each of her three sons’ families.

“This thing is not tasty, it’s dry and tastes like chewing firewood!” Third Daughter-in-Law shook her head and threw the bamboo shoots on the ground.

Xia Zhi is worthy of being the chosen female lead of a farming novel, and soon saw the business opportunity, “Are there many bamboo shoots on this mountain?”

“There are countless!” Lin Lang smiled, then took the picked bamboo shoots to the kitchen. There are many ways to eat bamboo shoots. The first is to make Yan Du Xian, and then dry them into dried bamboo shoots, marinate them into sour bamboo shoots…

Lin Lang thought of sour bamboo shoot and duck soup, and her saliva couldn’t help but spread. My dear, sour bamboo shoot is really a treasure, but these people are not blessed and don’t know the benefits of this thing!

Xia Zhi did what she said, took her three younger siblings to the mountain to collect bamboo shoots, and then collected a lot of earthenware pots, cleaned them, and then marinated the bamboo shoots and dried them into dried bamboo shoots.

There are only two or three children in their family who can work. Xia Zhi gritted her teeth and directly hired other people in the village to go to the mountain to pick bamboo shoots, and gave one Wen for two catties of bamboo shoots!

There are countless bamboo shoots on the mountain, and an ordinary young man can pick hundreds of catties of bamboo shoots a day, so the other people in the village directly went crazy after knowing this, and then went to the mountain to pick bamboo shoots.

The picked bamboo shoots must be processed as soon as possible, either dried into dried bamboo shoots or marinated into sour bamboo shoots, otherwise, after a long time, the bamboo shoots will lose their fiber and umami, and they will be too old to chew at all!

So this kind of thing must be done quickly, but Xia Zhi doesn’t have much money in her hand. Although she made a lot of money selling bean sprouts before, but because the recipe was sold, although she still has sales money, she hasn’t sold it a few times because she has been busy during this time!

Lin Lang gently knocked on the table, called Xia Zhi over, and then handed over twenty taels of silver.
