"Xiao Linzi, if your uncle and I sell one hundred catties of salt by the end of the year, will you really give me two hundred coppers?"
one villager asked excitedly.
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded:
"That's right, as long as your sales volume of salt reaches one hundred kilograms a year, I will give you an additional two hundred copper coins in proportion. I will never break my promise!"
"Two hundred copper coins, that's extra, my God!"
"The more I look at this kid Xiao Linzi, the more I like him!"
"It's not that bad. This kid has been kind-hearted and clever since he was a child."
"I wish I had such a well-behaved and sensible grandson."
No matter what he was like in the past, in the eyes of the villagers, Lin Xiao is now a proper money-splitting boy.
They were extremely satisfied with Lin Xiao!
If anyone says there is something wrong with the salt made by Lin Xiao, they will be the first to refuse to spare him!
"Of course, if you find someone secretly manufacturing and selling poisonous salt, you can report it to the village chief or shopkeeper Gao immediately with evidence. Once confirmed, we will give you a high reward of one tael of silver!"
One tael of silver?!
That’s a whole thousand copper coins!!
This shows how seriously Lin Xiao and the others take the production and sale of poisonous salt!
When the villagers heard this, they were immediately excited!
"Don't worry, Xiao Linzi, we must pay more attention in normal times!"
"That's right, even if someone deliberately does something behind his back, we will be able to discover it immediately!"
Seeing how excited the villagers were, Lin Xiao and Gao Jin knew that no one would dare to use poisonous salt to frame them again!
After all, no one has trouble with money!
Zhao Qian, who was standing not far away, smiled and watched this scene, admiring Lin Xiao more and more as he watched.
Not only can she grasp people's greed for money, but she can also benefit from it. She is not ordinary smart!
Under Lin Xiao's "fooling", all the villagers felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. They left home energetically and began to prepare for tomorrow's salt sale.
Gao Jin also took the time to return to his brothers' workshop to work out the details with Lin Xiaowu and Mazi, striving to complete the bamboo tubes containing salt as soon as possible.
Lin Xiao took Zhao Qian back to his home.
Zhao Qian had done her a great favor, and she had to treat him well regardless of circumstances.
As soon as he stepped into the door of his courtyard, Lin Xiao heard a noise coming from the courtyard before he could take a breath:
"Sister Ruoshui, don't leave, the boss will come back! He didn't make poisonous salt!"
"Are you going to be implicated if you don't leave? Let me go! I want to leave!"
"You can leave, but the money is used by the boss to purchase raw materials, you can't take it away!"
"Fart! I am his concubine, can't you just give me some money as payment for your escape?"
"No! You are not allowed to take a single word of this money without the master's permission!"
"Hey, my good sister, you should pack up and run away together! Do I know what kind of virtue my good cousin is?"
Han Ruoshui rushed out of the house carrying a large bundle and a bag full of money.
"you"
Lin Xiao and Zhao Qian were stunned when they saw this scene.
When Han Ruoshui saw Lin Xiao standing in the courtyard, she thought she had seen a ghost. She was so frightened that she retreated back into the house. In her panic, her bundles and money bags fell to the ground.
"Of course, boss, no, it wasn't me who harmed you, it was you. Yes, you made the poisonous salt yourself and killed others. You brought it upon yourself! Don't, don't come to me!"
Han Ruoshui said in a panic, while he hurriedly picked up the baggage and money bag on the ground, then turned around and ran into the house, fearing that Lin Xiao would catch up.
Lin Xiao shook his head with a wry smile and walked into the house.
When Lan Lian saw Han Ruoshui leave and come back, she thought she had found out her conscience. Just as she was about to take the baggage from her hand, she found her staring outside the hospital with fear on her face. She was suddenly surprised.
She followed her gaze and saw Lin Xiao walking toward her safely and with a smile on her face.
"The boss!"
Lan Lian's nose felt sour, she fell into Lin Xiao's arms, and burst into tears:
Lin Xiao patted Lan Lian on the shoulder and comforted:
"Silly girl, I'm not a kitten or a puppy. How can I die? Am I not standing in front of you alive and kicking?"
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lan Lian burst into laughter, wiped away the tears with her sleeves, and said with sobs:
"The official is so fierce, I thought, thought..."
Only then did Lin Xiao notice the swollen slap mark on Lan Lian's face, and immediately frowned slightly, presumably there must have been serious injuries on her body.
"Silly girl, don't be too strong in the future. Take some soft drinks and you'll save yourself the pain."
"I"
Lan Lian lowered her head shyly, her face as red as a red apple.
She didn't know why she did this, but when she saw someone trying to harm Lin Xiao, she couldn't help but rush forward.
"Come with me to the capital this time, and I will take care of everything for you!"
Lin Xiao knew that he owed Lan Lian a lot, and he would not hesitate to make up for anything he could.
Lan Lian was very happy after hearing what Lin Xiao said, but she still refused.
"No, no need. If we go to the capital, what will happen to our chickens, ducks and crops?"
"I'll pay someone to look after us, so don't worry and come with me to learn more!"
Lin Xiao looked at Lan Lian with a smile, her eyes as gentle as a pool of spring water.
Seeing Lin Xiao's firm attitude, Lan Lian could no longer refuse. She gritted her teeth and finally agreed to Lin Xiao's proposal:
"Okay, listen to the boss!"
Seeing this, Han Ruoshui, who had calmed down, quickly threw down his baggage, followed with a shy face, and said flatteringly:
"Head of the family, I, I also want to go to the capital to play together!"
"you?"
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Han Ruoshui:
"Aren't you going to run away? The door is unlocked, please help yourself!"
"I, I, I'm just joking, I can't take it seriously! I can't take it seriously!"
Han Ruoshui shivered when Lin Xiao's cold gaze swept her, and she quickly waved her hands to beg for mercy, for fear of offending Lin Xiao.
Ever since she learned that Lin Xiao had transformed from poverty into an invisible rich man, she tried every means to get married.
Now that Lin Xiao's grievances have been cleared, she does not want to be kicked out of the Lin family and return to the horrible days where everyone despises her.
"Master, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I, I am also afraid..."
Han Ruoshui's eyes were full of tears, she looked at Lin Xiao pitifully and said pitifully.
"Ruoshui, I told you on the first day you got married that I only have one request for you, and that is to believe in me unconditionally, but what about you?"
Lin Xiao had a cold face and a serious expression, staring at her with bright eyes: "How did you do it?"
"I"
Han Ruoshui opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say a word.
