After the system ran, I took off with my family

Seeing that Zhao Hanye still didn't understand, Wang Fusheng explained: "Why did the magistrate's wife choose the girl from the Lin family? Is it simply because she thinks that her family has no power and influence and is easy to control? How could she have no objection to the magistrate Wu taking such good care of the Lin family? Humph, women are so jealous, she would like to see the Lin family fall into disgrace so that she can control the girl from the Lin family!"

"Let's just say that we just want to find the seafood channel of Xunweilou. At most, we can make them lose some customers. The wife of the county magistrate will surely be happy to see this happen. We can be regarded as helping the wife of the county magistrate.

In this way, even if the Lin family goes to Magistrate Wu to file a complaint, the Magistrate's wife will speak for us, and Magistrate Wu will not be able to blame us."

Wang Fusheng gave an accurate analysis and Zhao Hanye listened attentively, so they did not notice that Ma Wenshan at the top was looking at them as if they were idiots.

"Brother Wang is really smart. However, Lin An was very careful in his words at the dinner table that day. I'm afraid he will be difficult to deal with. How can we get them to give up their seafood supply?" Zhao Hanye asked humbly.

Wang Fusheng enjoyed his compliments very much, and patted his chest and said, "Leave this matter to me, brother Hanye, just wait and see. However, if I take the lead, our Wang family will have the majority of the seafood share by then."

Then he looked up at Ma Wenshan, who remained silent, and asked, "Brother Wenshan, what do you think?"

Thinking about the cooperation over the years, Ma Wenshan gave a reminder: "In fact, Xunweilou doesn't get much seafood every day. There is no need to provoke a rival for this little seafood."

"Hmph, they are not our opponents at all. They are just relying on nepotism." Wang Fusheng snorted disdainfully.

Seeing this, Ma Wenshan shook his head helplessly, "Our Ma family makes a living from the tea house, which has nothing to do with seafood. Our Ma family will not join in on this matter."

After sending Wang Fusheng and Zhao Hanye away, Ma Wenshan sneered in a low voice: "Arrogant and presumptuous!"

......

In the Lin Mansion in Jing'an Lane, everyone was sitting in the flower hall after dinner. Lin Shuyue was flipping through the account book. In the past half month, the profit on the account of Xunweilou had reached nearly 1,500 taels of silver.

"Dad, Mom, Xunweilou is now on the right track. I plan to give half of the monthly profit as dividends to Manager Hu." Lin Shuyue said seriously.

Lin An and Li thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Manager Hu is indeed a capable man. When we return to the village, we will let him manage Xunweilou. With the dividends, he will pay more attention to it."

Sure enough, the next morning, when Manager Hu heard Lin Shuyue's decision, his eyes immediately turned red. He kowtowed to her three times and promised her that he would manage Xunweilou well.

At noon, Liu Yaqi came hurriedly. When he saw Lin Shuyue, he said excitedly, "Miss Lin, there is news about the manor you asked me to pay attention to last time!"

"Really? Where is it?" Lin Shuyue was ecstatic when she heard the good news.

Liu Yaqi explained in detail, "There is a small farm of 120 mu less than 20 miles from the east city gate. Although the farm is not big, the land inside is fertile. The small hill behind the farm also belongs to the farm. The original owner used it to grow fruit trees. However, the original owner had a request that if he wanted to buy the farm, he had to buy the person who looked after it as well."

"Who was the original owner of this farm? Why did they suddenly sell it?" Lin Shuyue was a little curious.

Liu Yaqi explained, "It's the Wan family that was struck by lightning. The one in charge now is the second young lady of the Wan family. The one who came to me was the housekeeper of her mansion."

Lin Shuyue was a little confused after hearing this. As far as she knew, Wan Mansion’s shop and restaurant were sold more than half a month ago.

Originally, she was planning to buy Wanhelou, which was opposite Xunweilou, so she specifically asked Manager Gao to keep an eye on Wanhelou. But who knew that the housekeeper of the Wan Mansion would go directly to Mr. Wang and sell the restaurant to him.

According to this situation, the Wan family sold six shops and two restaurants, so they should not be short of money for the time being. How did it develop to the point of selling the farm?

Lin Shuyue didn't know that Butler Wan had evil intentions. He took advantage of Wan Xue's trust and swallowed up nearly half of the money from the sale of the shop and restaurant. When Wan Xue asked about it, he explained that if he didn't lower the price, the shop and restaurant in the Wan Mansion would not be sold.

Ever since the day Wan Xue brought back the bodies of her parents and brother from the county government office, she was pelted with rotten eggs and splashed with night incense on the way home. Since then, she has dared not go out again.

She was afraid of seeing other people's strange looks and hearing other people's curses, and with the deception of Butler Wan, she completely believed what he said and left many things in the mansion to him.

......

Liu Yaqi took Lin Shuyue to visit the manor. In addition to the back mountain, there was also a small courtyard with two entrances. Although the owner did not come here often, the courtyard was still kept clean and tidy.

Then she went to the fields and checked them carefully, and found that the land was indeed very good and could be called top-quality farmland.

The people guarding the farm are Old Man Luo and his family of five. Old Man Luo is an old fruit farmer. In addition to guarding the farm, they are also responsible for maintaining the pear and peach trees planted in the back mountain.

After confirming that there was no problem, Lin Shuyue did not hesitate any longer and spent six hundred and eighty taels of silver to buy the farm, the fruit trees on the back hill, and Old Man Luo's family of five.

After getting the deed, she gave some silver to Old Man Luo to buy some vegetable seeds, as well as some chicks and ducklings.

She planned to set aside ten acres of land in the farm to grow various vegetables exclusively for Xunweilou, and the fruit trees in the back hills would be used to raise chickens and ducks.

The vegetable fields and the chickens and ducks in the back mountain were still handed over to Old Man Luo's family. For this reason, she specially increased their monthly allowance a little. Old Man Luo was so happy that he wanted to kowtow to Lin Shuyue immediately.

When they first learned that the original owner was going to sell their family and the farm, they were so worried that they lost their appetite. Fortunately, the new owner was kind-hearted and not only valued them, but also increased their monthly allowance, which put their family's uneasy hearts at ease.

Except for ten acres of vegetable fields, the rest of the land was rented out to people from nearby villages as before.

After arranging everything, Lin An and his wife returned to Lanshan Village with their two children and a few newly bought servants.

Lin Shuyan looked at his family members going away with melancholy, and at Qingzhu's reminder, he hurried to the school.

The spring plowing season has just ended. The villagers, who had worked hard for a month, put down their hoes and, after a short rest, began to get busy again.

The women began to dig wild vegetables all over the mountains, while the men in the family went to the town or the county dock to find work, hoping to earn a few more cents to buy new cloth to make clothes for their children and wives.

The carriage rumbled into the village. A woman who was picking wild vegetables on the ridge of a field by the river just looked up and then lowered her head to continue picking wild vegetables.
