Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

The pupils of several people in the investigation team trembled slightly. After looking at each other, they said no more, bowed and took the order and retreated.

As for Xiaocao, Lin Xiaoyue pulled her out of the crowd before she fell asleep and told her to go to the account office after she woke up and give three hundred taels of silver to each of the members of the carpentry and ironwork team and herself who had worked last night as a reward for their hard work.

"I don't want to..." When Xiaocao heard that everyone would be given three hundred taels, he took a deep breath and was about to refuse.

If other people could help by going up the mountain, then she was simply causing trouble for everyone. How could she have the nerve to accept the generous hard work fee that the third sister gave to everyone as a reward?

Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to hear her nonsense. Since they were going out together, everyone should have a share and no one should be left out. If Xiaocao was left out alone, how would others view her in the future?

After all, Xiaocao was promoted by her to be the inner court manager. If she didn't establish some prestige for her, if others were dissatisfied, they would take advantage of Xiaocao's young age to cause trouble for her.

With her around, she can naturally suppress the others completely, but if she is not around, she can't let Xiaocao be bullied for no reason.

Of course, she also believed that the retired soldiers she recruited would not bully Xiaocao, a weak woman, over trivial matters.

But people’s hearts are hidden, and over time, you never know what might happen.

Instead of doing that, it is better to nip it in the bud.

There was no need for Sister San Ya to say more. Xiao Cao could think about it herself and figure out the reason why Sister San Ya did this. She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. She just felt that there was no one in the world who treated her better than Sister San Ya.

Lin Xiaoyue was very sleepy at the moment. She patted Xiaocao's shoulder and let her think about it herself. She needed to take a nap. She was very tired after not getting enough sleep all night. If she didn't get enough sleep, her brain wouldn't work. So let her take a nap first.

……

The fire that destroyed the Mu family in Yongzhou City did not affect Lin Xiaoyue's life. However, during this period, she packed up the letters she received from the Mu Mansion and sent them to the imperial city through special channels.

She believed that both the Seventh Uncle and the current Emperor would be happy to see the information about her finding the gunpowder.

Even if she exploded the gunpowder, it would be a waste of the time, energy and financial resources invested by the craftsmen of the Ministry of War who worked day and night to make gunpowder weapons.

However, it also cut off the resources for the traitors to support the enemy, and prevented the enemy from having the opportunity to crack the formula of gunpowder.

After sending all the letters, Lin Xiaoyue returned to her lazy life. She ate and drank as usual every day, and when she had free time, she would go to the iron room to work on some ironing. Her life was relatively peaceful.

In the blink of an eye, it was August. After several months of experience, Xiaocao and Ergouzi managed the Zhuangzi and her business very well, one in charge of the internal affairs and the other in charge of the external affairs. Apart from checking the accounts at the end of the month and listening to the progress and needs reports from the team leaders of each line, there was basically no major matter for her to worry about.

One day, when she was bored and anxious, she was holding the little bear in the backyard and watching the mule and the mother bear playing a game of chase.

The doorman came in and reported that a matchmaker had come outside.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyue instantly stood up.

Ah, it's finally time. Who is the fearless one who wants to be beaten again? Come on, come on, come on.

Xiaocao, who was carrying washed grapes, saw that Sister Sanya was full of energy with eyes shining. She put down the teddy bear in her hand and was about to walk to the front yard. She felt that Sister Sanya's life was really boring.

But if you ask her to do something serious, she won't want to. If Xiaocao nags her a little more, she will be so angry that she will put her hands on her hips and say to you confidently, "I am making a fortune now, is it worth it to work hard? Isn't it better to just sit back and relax and retire early? Why bother?"

Every time this happened, Xiao Cao couldn't help but ask, "When you have nothing to do, you keep messing around with those new things. Aren't you tired?"

Although those novelties, such as glass, bicycles, roller skates, and hang gliders that are not sold to the public, are indeed fun and unique, but who is the one who is talking about salted fish all day and then suddenly dives into the iron room to make a fuss?

Anyway, she figured out that Sister Sanya was a collection of contradictions. To use Sister Sanya's words to encourage them, "Life never stops, and struggle never ends."

In her opinion, this statement would be more appropriate and fitting when applied to Sister San Ya herself.

But no matter how helpless she was, Xiaocao still resigned herself to her fate, carrying a large bowl of grapes, and followed Lin Xiaoyue to the front hall.

A while ago, nearly 50 people were added to the kitchen. The truth is that there are more and more people in the village now. If they still rely on the food team to fry, boil, stew and roast in the food court during the day, they will have to cook for everyone when they come back at night after a busy day.

Firstly, it is a heavy burden and stress for those who are good at cooking.

Secondly, all the people in the village were waiting for the people from the gourmet group to come back from the food court to continue cooking. By the time they all sat down to eat, it was already nightfall. The ground was filled with silver light, and everyone was starving.

After observing the situation, Xiaocao reported the situation to Lin Xiaoyue and suggested adding more people to the kitchen.

Lin Xiaoyue had no objection. She only gave her some suggestions and then handed the matter over to Xiaocao, letting her arrange it herself and not to come to her for such a small matter.

It has been said that the inner courtyard is under her management, and she is responsible for all arrangements. When Lin Xiaoyue said she would delegate power, she really meant it, and it was not just lip service.

There was only one thing, she asked Xiaocao to pick a few people to follow her. There was no one to take care of the housework, and there was no one around to order her around or help her. She had to do everything by herself.

Do you really think you have three heads and six arms? Or can you clone yourself?

Don't think she didn't see it. Many times she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and got up for a walk. As she walked, she came to Xiaocao's room and saw that the light in her room was on all night, and the little girl was so tired that she fell asleep on the table.

Why bother? They don't need this little money. If they can find a few more people to help share the burden, they won't be so exhausted. If they really exhaust themselves, how can they grow taller in the future?

After being told this by Lin Xiaoyue several times, Xiaocao only responded verbally but did not change his actions.

In the end, there was no other way, so Lin Xiaoyue had to go out and look for people. She picked out six clever and skillful young wives and forced them on her. Only then was she able to reluctantly share some of the work she was doing.

But even so, Xiaocao still does everything for Lin Xiaoyue himself and never asks anyone else to do it for him.

Just like now, I am not even sure how to wash grapes, so I have to do it myself.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Lin Xiaoyue just let her be. She didn't need to say too much, as this girl might be worried that she would alienate her.
