I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

How could a child from a rich family be so rude? We invited him here with such good intentions, but he actually asked for such a huge amount of money!

Ji Xiaobei pulled Lin and said, "Mom, go to the field and see how the rice seedlings are growing. I'll take care of the house."

Lin spread her hands and walked away with a cold face. Out of sight, out of mind. She was really afraid that she would not be able to control herself and drive the little beggar away.

Ji Xiaobei brought out shiny roast chicken, golden scrambled eggs, steaming hot meat buns, and braised pig's trotters from the house.

Fu Jichang: She has so many delicious foods hidden in her house, no wonder she is so fat?

Heita sucked his saliva and tried hard to move his eyes away. The temptation was too great and it was easy to lose control.

The little beggar ate with big mouthfuls and kept saying "good".

After finishing the meal, he pulled a cloth bag from the clothesline, wiped his mouth and said, "Thank you, boss! If you don't mind, I'll take the rest back."

After that, he turned to Ji Xiaobei and said, "My grandma said that the girl is a very kind person. If you have any problems, go to the cave to find her."

Ji Xiaobei nodded with satisfaction: This is exactly what she was waiting for, this boy is smart enough.

The little beggar walked out of the alley staggeringly, carrying his bag.

"Stop!" Black Tower stopped him.

"Black man, do you want to take back the things the boss gave you?" The little beggar pretended to run away.

Fu Jichang grabbed his wrist lightly and pulled him back.

"What are you doing? Don't bully children. If you do this again, I will call for help..." the little beggar threatened.

Fu Jichang let go of his hand and asked coldly, "What about the news I asked you to find out?"

"I've already told Hei Han that Mr. Gao's family has moved away, and the food has disappeared overnight! However, the county's legal advisor has been coming to Cishui Town frequently these days..."

"Where are you going?" Fu Jichang asked.

The little beggar hooked his little finger, blinked, and looked at Fu Jichang.

Fu Jichang grabbed his arm and twisted it back: "Don't play tricks!"

"Someone is being beaten, help me, auntie..." the little beggar shouted to a woman not far away.

Fu Jichang hurriedly covered his mouth and stuffed a small silver ingot into his hand.

"Thank you, sir. It's on Cichang Street. I don't know which store you went to."

The little beggar happily took the silver ingot into his arms.

"Go and keep asking around. Come and tell me if you have any news. I'll give you a lot of money."

Fu Jichang said coldly.

The little beggar ran away in a shambles.

Heita and Fu Jichang were too conspicuous and were almost recognized when they went to the county town last time.

The master had seen him and Heita, so he couldn't alert them. For now, he could only hide in the village and gather information at night.

Finally, the little beggar was found again. He loves money and can get things done, and he is relatively trustworthy so far.

Fu Jichang looked at the little beggar's gradually disappearing back, and his brows relaxed a little.

Lin walked around the wasteland of his home.

It had been cloudy these few days, and the Anemarrhena seedlings had all come back to life, which had somewhat diluted her anger.

It seems that what the eldest daughter said is right, Anemarrhena asphodeloides is really easy to keep alive, but I don’t know how much it can be sold for.

She then went to several other fields where Anemarrhena asphodeloides was planted, and most of them survived as well.

Ji Sannai raised her head from the field and saw Lin. She smiled, waved her hand and said hello: "Daniu's wife, Daniu's wife..."

"She is the third aunt, is there something wrong?" Lin stopped.

"Look, this one I planted is alive and well. If we harvest it, we can really make money. I have to thank your Xiaobei for that."

Lin smiled but said nothing, thinking to herself: She's good looking now, so you say this, but don't wait until you fail to sell her for money and then curse me behind her back.

Third Aunt Ji pulled Lin aside and asked in a low voice, "Mother Xiaobei, I heard that your distant nephew hasn't been engaged yet. How old is he this year?"

Lin was stunned for a moment, then she responded and said with a smile: "You are talking about Xiaoyao, right? He is two years older than Shitou, 17 years old this year, and still unengaged. But that child is very ambitious. You can see that Xiaoyao is very capable. He went down into that dark well and pulled the person out. Otherwise, the well in our village would be useless, and the child who fell in would have died..."

Lin praised Xiaoyao and she felt that Xiaoyao was even better.

He just did a great thing, so everyone who saw it would show him some respect.

He kept Ma Debiao's family fat and strong, and also served as Mr. Wu for free.

Lin was even more satisfied with him, and she deliberately said that Xiaoyao had high demands.

To prevent the villagers from taking advantage of him, the good things should be kept for his family.

Grandma Ji curled her lips, feeling unhappy: How do you know that Xiaoyao looks down on my Da Ni'er?

Lin took a stroll and when her anger was almost gone, she went to the ancestral hall.

Before I even entered the door, I saw Haixia Niang walking out with a frown on her face.

"What happened?" asked Haixia Niang.

"There's something wrong with the pattern. I'm going to go find Xiaobei."

Lin became anxious when he heard this. The pattern was brought from the previous supplier, and if there were any problems, he had to take it back to the county for modification. How much work would be wasted going back and forth.

"You go back and watch the embroiderers work. I'll go call Ji Xiaobei." Lin said.

After a while, Lin came with Ji Xiaobei.

"Boss, you see there are problems with all the patterns. The shoulder is not drawn properly. I found it after I finished cutting it..."

Haixia Niang was holding the fabric in her hands, looking anxious.

"Don't worry, let's see if you can change it!" Ji Xiaobei comforted.

"You can change it, but what if the design is changed and people refuse to accept it?"

When Haixia Niang worked in a tailor shop, she followed the patterns completely. If something went wrong, the judgment would also be based on the patterns.

She didn't dare to change it easily.

"Boss, why don't you go to the county and discuss this with your boss? If we are wrong, we can't take the responsibility."

Ji Xiaobei thought to himself: Zheng Guo is not at home, there is no way to confirm it, I have to wait for Zheng Guo to come back.

"Put the clothes aside for now. Wait until I confirm they are ready before making them. In the next few days, you can teach the embroiderers and seamstresses first."

Ji Xiaobei took the pattern, went out of the house, squatted in the shade in the corner and compared them carefully.

This dress has so many parts, some wide, some narrow, some straight, some curved. If you don't think carefully for a quarter of an hour, you won't know how to put it on.

Something blocked the light, and Ji Xiaobei felt as if the sky above his head was covered.

She looked up and saw Fu Jichang bending over to look at the flowers.

"Do you understand?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

Fu Jichang hummed lightly and took the flower pattern.

Ji Xiaobei snorted. Man, understand clothing design drawings?

He pointed at the paper with his slender fingers.

Ji Xiaobei looked at his face, then at his hands, then at the blueprint, and thought to himself: This guy makes it look so real, so serious...
