Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 257 Hot Potatoes
After that incident, when Mrs. Lin went back to the Chen family, she didn't even come to Li Yuanqing's marriage, only her husband-in-law came to congratulate her. Now after a while, she appeared again.

Du Xiaoyu stepped forward to salute and called auntie.

Lin's attitude changed from the past, and he took her hand kindly, "I just didn't feel well these days after you were married, so you didn't come to see you until now, don't you blame me?"

"Auntie is sick?" Du Xiaoyu said in surprise, "How can you blame me for this? If I had known, I should have come to visit."

Lin's face was a little embarrassed, she was not sick, she just didn't dare to come over after doing such a thing, now that the matter is over, even if she doesn't like Du Xiaoyu any more, she still has to accept the fact that she has become her niece and daughter-in-law.

"I carefully selected these materials. Take a look, do you like them?" She brought some fabrics.

Hearing that the Chen family has a fabric business, Du Xiaoyu thanked him with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and Mrs. Lin finally brought the topic to the purpose of today's visit, "I came back this time to see that my eldest brother was too busy, and my mother was getting old, so I told my mother, I will give you a few shops to practice. Practice your hands. You are also a member of our family now, and you know business, which is the best."

Du Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback by the look of asking for credit on her face. She didn't expect Lin to do this. What is her intention?

"Yuanqing hasn't told you yet?" Mrs. Lin guessed it, smiled and said, "I just said it the day before yesterday, you happened to go back to your natal family, Yuanqing knew about it, I just asked you when the time came."

It turned out that Li Yuanqing said that he had something to say to her tonight, so he wanted to discuss this matter?

Du Xiaoyu showed a surprised expression, and declined, "How can this work? I don't know anything about business. Compared with the Lin family, the money earners at home are just children's play, and I can't control it. "

She didn't want such a good opportunity?Lin frowned, "You child, you have to learn everything slowly. You can learn everything right away? Besides, if you don't understand, you can naturally ask others for advice, and you can also ask me."

Du Xiaoyu stared, is this the key point?After Lin hinted that she could ask her for advice, she smiled slightly, "I don't know what grandma means..."

"Of course my mother agreed, otherwise how could I say it? Didn't I slap myself in the face?"

The old lady would agree, so that's all for Lin, she just wanted to get some benefits, but the old lady should be able to see Lin's thoughts, so why would she agree?

"I want to think about it."

Lin was in a hurry, and she was talking about this point, but Du Xiaoyu didn't make a decision, and there was no joy on her face, she really didn't understand what she was thinking!
No matter which shop the Lin family owns, as long as they take over the management, they don't know how much money they can make by doing any tricks!Is she really not interested?Isn’t it just for money to raise rabbits and grow herbs?Now is such an easy opportunity!
But it's not good to push too much. Fortunately, she also thought about an explanation before she came, and said, "Mother has a heart for you and is willing to let you take care of it. If you push it, she will be unhappy. Otherwise, I have time recently. Help me You help me, you come over every day and learn slowly, and you will be able to take over one day."

It was a comprehensive thought, but Du Xiaoyu still didn't let go.

Lin said everything, but in desperation, she had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

Qingzhu was serving tea and water beside him, and he could hear it all over the place. Seeing Du Xiaoyu's refusal just now, he was also very anxious.This is a fat job. I don't know how many people from the distant relatives of the Lin family want to recruit it. Unfortunately, the old lady is not easy to trust people. Those who manage the shop use her confidantes, and even her own daughter is not allowed to touch it. .

She boldly stepped forward and said, "Ma'am, what my aunt said actually makes sense."

Du Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, and asked with great interest, "Then why don't you talk about it."

Seeing that she actually said that, Qing Zhu became more courageous, "The old lady wanted to give the family business to the young master in the early morning, but now it is natural for the madam to learn how to manage it first, and the madam doesn't need to worry too much."

"My uncle is still here, so why should we care?" She looked down at the flower arrangement on the table, and the color screen folded some fresh pink peonies in the morning, and they were so charming. "Besides, my aunt often comes over, and the Chen family also has It's okay to let her take care of some of the family business, we juniors have a lot to learn."

Let Lin take care of it, as long as the mouse fell into the rice vat, and Qingzhu has stayed with the old lady for several years, how could he not understand, so he smiled with disdain, "Auntie can take care of it, but can you wait until today? Madam, you I don't know..." She paused and glanced at Du Xiaoyu.

Du Xiaoyu said, "You just say it's okay."

"I also met Caiyu on the road a few days ago. She told me that something happened to the Chen family, but my aunt didn't mention it to the old lady when she came back." Qingzhu cautiously added One sentence, "Caiyu only told me when she overheard it. No one else knew about it, and the slaves only told Madam."

In this way, Caiyu was betrayed. Although it was a show of loyalty, Du Xiaoyu's eyes softened a little, "I think the old lady will know about the accident in the Chen family soon, so I don't need to say it." I'm afraid I already know. , will agree to Lin's proposal.

Seeing that she understood, Qingzhu felt more relaxed, and tried to persuade her, "That's why the servant thinks that Madam should take over. Aunt and grandma don't usually do such good things. If they miss it, they won't know about it in the future."

Du Xiaoyu smiled, "Let me think about it again, you go out first."

After talking for a long time, looking at her gentle expression, she thought she was moved by what she said, but in the end it was still the same sentence, Qingzhu couldn't help being frustrated.

Du Xiaoyu sat in front of the desk, flipped through the book at hand and read it.

Light incense was burned in the censer, looking out from the window, it was a clean yard, and the blue sky was reflected in a pool, which felt like a dream.

Cozy, comfortable, and all would be perfect if there weren't so many headaches about complicated relationships.

As soon as Li Yuanqing came back, Du Xiaoyu said that Mrs. Lin had been here, so he guessed that he knew about it.

Du Xiaoyu reached out to help him take off his official uniform, and said, "Why would grandma agree? This is what I don't understand the most." Could it be that she wants to use her hand to catch Lin's fault?

The weather was getting warmer, and after sitting in the yamen for a whole day, Li Yuanqing felt a little sweaty.

Du Xiaoyu then asked Caiping to go to the kitchen to ask someone to fetch water, while the two of them sat down and drank a few sips of tea.

"It must be grandma who wants to see your skills." Li Yuanqing said, "The last time she knew you were going to your mother's house, I mentioned that you wanted to start a silk business. Grandma didn't say anything at the time, but my aunt mentioned the shop. , she agreed." He thought of the old lady's angry look, and shook his head.

Is this the meaning of fulfilling her and letting her do business well?Du Xiaoyu's face darkened.

"If you don't want to do it, you can naturally refuse, but... Uncle seems to want you to go. He said that grandma is old, and she has more than enough energy to do everything, and she can't do everything by herself. Recently, some people are eager to do something, and he is alone. This may not prevent anything else."

Hearing Lin Song's name, Du Xiaoyu immediately changed her expression. She liked this uncle very much and was very grateful to him.

Li Yuanqing put his hand on the back of her hand, "Besides, don't you like these? The two new shops that the Lin family bought in the county are also very suitable. You don't need to worry about your aunt's purpose, it's true that you can learn something yourself."

Du Xiaoyu was finally moved, "But this way, I will spend less time at home." The implication is that don't blame her for having less time with her.

He slowly tightened his fingers and held her whole hand in his palm, "As long as you like it."

The warm feeling seemed to flood her whole body, and she looked at him with a bright smile on her face.

Now that the matter has been decided, the two went to the old lady's place to pay their respects on Li Yuanqing's holiday.

The two shops that the Lin family bought in Feixian County, one is a drug store and the other is a jewelry store, are relatively competitive. They are newcomers, and it is not easy for them to stand out from the shops in the county that have established a mass base earlier.

Hearing that Du Xiaoyu was willing, the old lady smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Song'er has other things to deal with, and he is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground. It would be best if you are willing to share that."

Du Xiaoyu said modestly, "But I'm still inexperienced. If I can't do it well, don't blame me, grandma." Ugly words should be said first.

As soon as Lin heard what she said, she hurriedly said, "What's the big deal? I told you that it's for you to practice your hand. If a horse stumbles or someone stumbles, no one can guarantee that it will work, isn't it, mother? You Always give Xiaoyu an explanation, otherwise she won't dare, and it will be bad if she shrinks her hands and feet when the time comes."

The old lady's eyes sank, she picked up the tea and took a sip before she said, "I heard from Yuanqing that you are also ambitious, so let go and do it."

Does that mean you won't blame her if you fail?Du Xiaoyu would not be so naive, but thinking of Lin Song's words, he smiled and said, "Thank you grandma for giving me this opportunity."

Lin became happy, "That's all right, Xiaoyu, if you don't understand something, you should ask those in charge."

Lin Song didn't say much at the side, and only left the house with the two of them after the meal was finished.

Lin Song said guiltily, "Xiaoyu, it's my uncle's fault for dragging you into the water."

"Where is uncle, I'm free anyway." Du Xiaoyu said hurriedly.

Lin Song sighed, "Recently, there is something wrong with several managers of the Lin family, and one of them is in charge of these two shops, but most of our shops are outside, and it's not easy for me to stay here for a long time, so I told Yuan Qing I ask you to take over."

"Why didn't uncle tell grandma?" Du Xiaoyu was curious.

Lin Song shook his head, "I didn't get any evidence, and she's someone my grandmother has always trusted." He knew very well what kind of temper his old lady had. She didn't shed tears when she saw the coffin, and she would only scold those in charge if she randomly suspected them.

Then these two shops are not hot potatoes?Du Xiaoyu felt a little worried.

"I left a few people for you to send when the time comes." Lin Song smiled, "It's not in vain to ask you to contribute, don't you want to make silk quilts? Our Lin family has several familiar silkworm farmers in Lingcheng. You don’t need to worry about those at the time.”

Du Xiaoyu laughed, "Then I will thank uncle first." It seems that there is also an unexpected harvest.

Lin Song explained some more things before leaving.
