Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Ting He was so annoyed when he heard the system nagging him that he quickly replied, "Alright, alright, stop nagging me. I'll take my time, okay? You're the one who talks too much and you've left me with no money to spend."

Ting He sat cross-legged under a big tree at the back mountain and closed her eyes to practice the body-building technique. While she was practicing with her eyes closed, she did not notice that a man in black passed by her and went straight to the back mountain. A moment later, the man in black passed by her again with something in his hand and came back. System Lao Liu wanted to remind her when he saw this scene, but did not want to interrupt her practice and was ready to tell her later. However, after a while, System Lao Liu was busy playing with the little fairy and the cub in the system space and forgot about it.

When Ting He returned home after her training, it was already dark. She could smell the smell of stewed meat from a distance. She ran home happily and shouted, "Grandma, what happened today? How come we can eat meat today? I can smell the smell of meat from a distance."

As soon as he returned to the yard, he saw the villagers spontaneously bringing things to express their gratitude, including wild vegetables, eggs, meat and food. Ting He looked at Old Lady Lin in confusion, and Old Lady Lin explained:

"Zhao Di is back, come here quickly, these uncles and aunts are here to thank you."

After hearing the whole story, Ting He learned that in just less than two months, those four rabbits that each family sent away had actually successfully reproduced. Some villagers had already given birth to seven or eight rabbits that were now crying for food. Everyone was so happy that they gathered together and brought their own things to the Lin family to express their gratitude. Unexpectedly, old lady Lin was also very hospitable. She personally stewed all the things and food sent by the villagers. The fragrance could be smelled all over the back mountain.

Ting He didn't care about their reactions. When she heard that the dishes were cooked by Old Lady Lin herself, she took her bowl and went to the kitchen to get more rice. Looking at the table full of food, she sat down and ate, enjoying the delicious food.

After the courtyard returned to peace, Old Lady Lin found Uncle Lin and told him that she would send him to a private school the next day. However, she did not tell him about her plan to open a shop in front of the school. Instead, she warned him in many words:

"You must study hard and bring honor to the Lin family. If you continue to visit brothels and gambling dens, I will make you suffer and make you suffer the same fate as your unfilial second brother."

This sentence alone was not very lethal, but when Lin Jinshan thought of the scene where his second brother was dragged away by the officials, he suddenly got goose bumps all over his body, nodded his head in panic and swore:

"Don't worry, mother. I will study hard and make a name for myself, bringing honor to the Lin family. I will never go to brothels or gambling houses again. Mr. Nan has taught me very well. I have learned a lot and I feel that I have become much smarter. I can now write articles for the country and the people independently. I am confident that I will be able to pass the exam and become a scholar next time."

Mrs. Lin then left the room with satisfaction, and went to pack the things that she wanted Uncle Lin to take to the private school tomorrow. Naturally, she also gave him some more money out of consideration.

The next day, Mrs. Lin took Uncle Lin and Tinghe to her own ox cart and said to Boss Lin:

"Master Lin hasn't paid his tuition yet, and Gensheng has just started his initiation. You go back and forth in the town to send him off and do odd jobs. During this period, you should ask for leave from Master Lin and tell Gensheng not to go to the private school for initiation. Go with Jinshan to the private school in the town. The two uncles and nephews can support each other by being together. You are familiar with the town, so you can find a shop in front of the school. I am not old yet, and I plan to open a food shop there to look after them and comfort them."

Old Lady Lin sighed and sat on the ox cart, looking around the Lin Family Village, with a gleam in her eyes, "I'm not old yet, I can still go back to my old job of making food and earning money for the Lin Family. Otherwise, my eldest son and grandson will have no money to support their studies and read good books in the future."

Ting He also nodded in agreement, "Grandma is right. You can pass on your cooking skills to me in the future. I promise to spread our Lin family's food throughout the Duan Dynasty. Just wait and see."

With more than 8,000 taels of silver in his arms, Ting He was now rich and powerful. He went to the town today to buy a shop and a house, and open the Lin family's food shop in the town to create a road to success.

The carriage wobbled along and soon arrived at the school. Old Lady Lin personally sent Lin Jinshan in and also gave him a bag of dried wild boar meat to thank the headmaster for his teaching. Later, she told the headmaster that she wanted to send her grandson to school. The headmaster thought about it for a long time before stating his conditions. It turned out that Uncle Lin had asked for leave and gave the headmaster the pottery jar brought by Old Lady Lin, saying that the pottery jar contained braised meat. Later, he asked for leave and went home, and forgot about the pottery jar. Who knew that the headmaster loved it so much. He missed it every day after eating the braised meat. If he had not been able to contact Lin Jinshan, the student, he would have rushed to his house to ask for it.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Lin naturally agreed happily, and thanked the headmaster profusely. She also promised that she would send two more jars of braised meat to the headmaster when she returned, ensuring that he would eat enough. In this way, the headmaster easily agreed to allow Lin Gensheng to enroll in school, and arranged for the uncle and nephew to live together.

After finishing the school matter, Ting He clamored to look for a shop nearby. Boss Lin then took everyone to find a familiar associate and came to the human trafficker. After bargaining and looking at several shops, Ting He finally bought a grain shop near the school for five hundred taels of silver, and it also came with a large courtyard with three entrances.

Five hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money in the town, it was simply a sky-high price, but the good thing about this shop was that it had two floors and was simply decorated. It used to sell grain, but these days, even the grain output in the imperial farm was low, so there was really no extra to sell. That's why they wanted to sell it directly and pack up their family to settle down in the city. Secondly, this shop had a beautiful backyard and a large house with three entrances, separated by only a wall, and all of them belonged to this family, so the procedures were very quick. After Ting He finally agreed on a price of five hundred taels, he paid the silver note directly and, with the help of the human trafficker, quickly went to the government to complete the procedures.

After finishing all these, Boss Lin was still staring blankly at the Sanjin courtyard. Ting He had already asked the human trafficker about buying people. Old Lady Lin didn't say a word during the whole process, but she stood very straight and acted the role of a rich man to the fullest.
