Over the past year, Wang Zimo has experienced hardships, and her heart has grown and matured. In the prison camp, she abandoned kindness and innocence, plotted conspiracies and schemes to pave the way for herself, and even felt excited when others fell into her tricks without knowing it.But facing Lin Zhilan, Wang Zimo still kept his silly self in Wangjiazhuang, he liked Lin Zhilan's compliments to him, and liked to act like a baby to her childishly.

Lin Zhilan was very embarrassed by Wang Zimo's coquettish boasting, especially the fortune teller's suppressed smile, which made her feel ashamed.Anyway, you pretend to be a man, why are you so stupid.

After paying the money in a hurry, Lin Zhilan returned to Yang's house as if fleeing, took out the box full of silver ingots hidden in the closet, stroked the shiny silver ingots one by one, recalling the long-lost feeling of a rich person in her previous life, She decided to spend the 100 taels well, otherwise she would be sorry for Wang Zimo's dedication to supporting his family.

The first thing Lin Zhilan did was to redeem the jewelry she had pawned when she went out to Prince Mo half a year ago. The things brought by her previous life were the only connection she had with that place. Lin Zhilan knew that she would never get it back. After going, it is a thought to keep those things by my side.It's just that, in order to get more silver, she pawned all the jewelry to death. In this case, the original owner cannot redeem it with pawn tickets, but can only buy it from the pawn shop. After half a year, I don't know if those things Still in the pawn shop.

After taking 50 taels of silver, Lin Zhilan went to the pawnshop. As she expected, the pawnshop had already sold her jewelry to someone else. Lin Zhilan asked where the jewelry went, but the pawnshop has its own rules and will not disclose the buyer to the original owner. Lin Zhilan returned disappointed.

"Auntie, where have you been? Bao'er has been looking for you."

When she got home, Wang Xingen had already closed the shop and cooked. Lin Zhilan felt that she was very incompetent when she heard Wang Xingen's words.Since Wang Zimo left, Lin Zhilan has been running around for a living every day. To be honest, she cared too little for Bao'er. Today, because of Wang Zimo's letter, she was so upset that she even forgot about Bao'er.

Cleaning up her mood, Lin Zhilan carried Bao'er back from Mrs. Yang's place. Bao'er bowed her head to look for milk, thinking she was very hungry, she pulled Lin Zhilan very hard with her small hands.

"Be good, Bao'er, mother will feed you now."

Hiding in the back room, Lin Zhilan opened her skirt, and Bao'er was familiar with the way, holding a big steamed bun and breastfeeding desperately, but she looked at Lin Zhilan with big watery eyes like black pearls, as if she was accusing Lin Zhilan of her negligence towards herself.

"Bao'er, don't blame your mother. Your father wrote a letter today. She misses you. Not only did she give it to our family, but she also brought you a New Year's gift."

Lin Zhilan took out a small box from the box containing the silver ingots, and dangled a string of small black agate bracelets in front of Baoer's eyes. The small bracelets shone faintly under the dim light, matching Baoer's black The bright eyes complement each other.Bao'er's eyes were attracted by the small bracelet, and she stared at it intently. The black agate was strung by a red silk thread. At the end, a beautiful concentric knot was tied. In order to breastfeed, I stretched out my small hand to grab it hard.

"Does Bo'er like it?"

Lin Zhilan mischievously raised the small bracelet, which caused De Boer to grab it several times but failed to catch it.The little girl's temper is not as tough as Lin Zhilan's. She couldn't catch the small bracelet, and she actually showed Lin Zhilan a flattering and wronged look.

"Bao'er, you're doing it like this!"

Lin Zhilan hated Bao'er like this, because it reminded her of that man.That man is a very good-tempered person. He has always liked him, but he dare not say it outright. He has never pretended to him, but he has never been angry, and just blindly pleases him.

This man, according to his previous life, was a warm-hearted man who was very popular with girls, but he was not Lin Zhilan's type.Lin Zhilan likes domineering people, like Wang Zimo, others say that Wang Zimo is weak, but Lin Zhilan doesn't think so, Wang Zimo has her own principles, no matter whether her principles are right or wrong, what she thinks is right Time, she will stick to the end.

For example, for the Liu family, for the Wang family, for herself, for example, for the ink corruption lawsuit, Lin Zhilan will never forget that after the incident between the two of them was exposed, Wang Zimo took all the blame for saving herself, and she will never forget either. When all the people involved in the case admitted that they were greedy for ink, Wang Zimo still resisted the heavy board with his thin body and strong will and refused to let go. Covered by a tolerant appearance, if he hadn't experienced it personally, if he hadn't cared about her, he wouldn't have discovered it, because Wang Zimo was too forbearing.

Bao'er tugged at Lin Zhilan's sleeve, and "babbled" to please her, which made Lin Zhilan really want to educate Bao'er, but Bao'er was so old, she couldn't bear to beat her, she couldn't understand the curse, Lin Zhilan was really worried.

"Bao'er, if you are always like this, mother will really not love you, and when your father comes back, mother will not let her love you!" Lin Zhilan said with a straight face.

Seeing Lin Zhilan looking at her seriously, Bao'er seemed to understand, she let go of Lin Zhilan's sleeves, and with a restrained and flattering smile, looked at Lin Zhilan in a daze.

Sad, needless to say, but this era is too harsh on women, Lin Zhilan must make Bao'er strong, because only in this way can she live a better life.

Gently put the small bracelet on Bao'er's chubby little hand. The black agate and lotus root-like little hand formed a sharp contrast, but they fit very well. Lin Zhilan kissed Bao'er's little hand and said: "Bao'er, remember Stop, you have a father, and your father's name is Wang Zimo."

This is Lin Zhilan's obsession, which cannot be shaken by anyone or anything.

After dinner, Lin Zhilan took Bao'er to take a beautiful bath together, put Bao'er to sleep, and then she began to plan how to use the 100 taels of silver.

If it were in Wangjiazhuang, Lin Zhilan and Wang Zimo would have 100 taels of silver, so they could be small landlords, and they would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Think carefully and it will be over soon.

Lin Zhilan thought for a long time, but still felt that it would be most appropriate to buy a shop and continue to open the wonton shop.At the beginning, because I didn't have enough money, I could only rent a small shop. Now the business in the shop is very good. There are always many customers waiting in the morning market and afternoon market, which is not conducive to the development of business.Lin Zhilan felt that if she wanted to buy a shop, she had to buy a bigger one, but the current shop had only just been renovated, and if it was abandoned, the money invested earlier would be wasted, which is a pity.

Of course, if you can buy the noodle shop next door together, that would be the most convenient thing, even if it is a little more expensive, it doesn't matter.

Lin Zhilan embraced the bright vision of a better career, and fell asleep sweetly with Bao'er in her arms.

On the second day, after a busy morning market, Lin Zhilan went to find the owner of the noodle shop next door, Mrs. Fang, to inquire about the news.The noodle shop had mediocre business at first, but later because Lin Zhilan opened the wonton shop, their business became even worse. Fang said with envy and regret: "Miss Wang, my husband told me a few days ago that we can no longer If he continues to lose money to open the shop, he plans to close the shop by the end of the year, so that he can keep some money and do other business.”

This is really great news. Fang's and the others also rent shops to open their shops. If they don't plan to continue to operate, Lin Zhilan can talk to the boss behind them about buying shops, because the two shops belong to the same owner, Yan Guan. Yan Quanshan, a wealthy tea merchant in the county.

Yan Quanshan has a lot of industries, there are more than a dozen shops in Yanguan County, and five in Dongshi. Lin Zhilan went home and changed clothes to dress up, and went to the Yan Mansion to find Yan Zhong, the second director of foreign affairs.

After hearing Lin Zhilan's intentions, Yan Zhong said apologetically, "Miss Wang, you know that although my Yan family is not one of the best in our county, at least it is well-known in the county. The Yan family is not short of money, only There is no precedent for buying a storefront to buy a property. If you want to rent it, the little old man is the master. When the noodle shop is closed, it’s okay to sublet it to you. Don’t mention the matter of buying a storefront.”

To be honest, although the shops in Dongshi are smaller and older, they are in short supply because of the strong flow of people.Back when Lin Zhilan took a fancy to the Yan family's shop, the Yan family didn't raise the price on the ground, but rented it to her at a very reasonable price. They did this because they liked Lin Zhilan's character and reputation.In the past six months, Lin Zhilan has been paying the rent in a timely manner, and has never defaulted on her debts. The business is also very good, so this time, Yan Zhong's first choice is Lin Zhilan, but if it is to buy a shop, then he can't make the decision.

Rich families always buy land, houses, shops, and women. Even if they don’t like it, they would rather keep it for nothing than sell it for money.This is the dignity of a big family, and they often sell their properties, which will make others think that their family is going downhill, and they are empty-handed, not to mention, it is still a shop in Dongshi.

Lin Zhilan was very disappointed when she heard this. The way of doing business here is very different from that of later generations. As long as it is profitable, the merchants of later generations cannot sell anything. Perhaps it is because the merchants here have low social status, and they value face more. will act like this.

Unable to agree with Yan Zhong, Lin Zhilan could only look for other shops in the East City. Her actions quickly spread in the East City.

"Hey, have you heard that Mrs. Wang is looking for a big shop."

"Why haven't I heard that it has only been open for less than half a year, and the store can be changed. Do you think it's unusual?"

"Her wonton shop business is very good, I think she made a lot of money."

"No matter how good the business is, it's just selling wontons and earning a little money."

"That's right, after excluding expenses, you can earn five taels of silver a month, right?"

"Naturally, this is the reason. Thinking about the smashing of shops, the strike, and the resettlement of property a few days ago, after all the calculations, it would be nice to have a surplus of ten taels of silver this year."

"Miss Wang, where did you get the money to buy the storefront?"

"Who knows!"

Noisy, it's the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Although Lin Zhilan is very depressed these days, she is still very concerned about business. Today, she specially taught the cook to cook red bean and lotus seed porridge, and sell it in the store, but many people have no time to cook Laba porridge. The guests got a taste of the festival.

Lin Zhilan deliberately let the word out, in order to thank new and old customers for their care for the wonton shop, today's Laba porridge is served at a low price. This behavior has made the customers very fond of it, especially those regular customers, who praised Lin Zhilan for being righteous, doing business honestly and not greedy for money.

Seeing the extremely lively scene in the store, Lin Zhilan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the ancient people were really simple, but why couldn't they sell the storefront to themselves, not only the Yan family didn't want to sell it, but other people's families didn't want to sell it either. The asking price was too high for her to afford.

The noodle shop next door has already said hello to the Yan family, and the rent will be settled by the end of the year. Yan Zhong sent someone to urge Lin Zhilan, if she is unwilling to rent the shop, the Yan family will rent it to someone else.Lin Zhilan knew that the Yan family was very kind to her, but she really wanted to buy a store so that she could feel at ease.

Who would have thought that a few days later, on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yan Zhong actually came to the wonton shop in person, saying that he was willing to sell the shop.

"Boss Yan, you can't joke with my family." Lin Zhilan said incredulously.

"Oh, my lady Wang, first of all, you want to buy it. This time our family is really willing to sell it. Why don't you believe it?" Yan Zhong was also very surprised why the elder suddenly let go. The character of the master who is focused on fishing.

"Boss Yan, is what you said true?" Lin Zhilan reconfirmed.

"Really, it can't be wrong. The elder of my family personally spoke. The two shops are 80 taels of silver. If you want, I will bring the accountant and the middleman over later. Our two families will sign a contract. If you don't want to, my family will not." Force it." Yan Zhong thinks that Lin Zhilan's staring eyes are so cute, although she has a scar on her face, she is still a beauty, especially when she looks silly, which is very pleasing to the eye.

After Lin Zhilan was shocked for a short period of time, ecstasy followed. There is no such thing as a unparalleled road. Who would have thought that the Yan family, who had vowed never to sell their property, would take the initiative to sell their shop to her.

Lin Zhilan sent Yan Zhong out of the house with a happy small citizen's smile on her face, and a boy in the cloth shop opposite the wonton shop saw this scene in his eyes, and the smile on his face was even brighter than Lin Zhilan's .

Come on, after the new year, he will be the second shopkeeper!
