The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

Lin Zhi hurried back home. She first found Daya and told her what she needed to do next.

First, she had to go out; second, Zhao Mu and Zhao Tu would move to the staff dormitory later.

Lin Zhi particularly emphasized that if Daya felt that she could not cope with these things, she could go to Aunt Zhou for help.

In fact, there are not many things that really need to be dealt with, but considering that the two people who came here for the trial work should come with their families, the number of people may be relatively large.

Lin Zhi was worried that Daya would feel scared or in danger.

Although Daya nodded to indicate that she was capable of doing the task, Lin Zhi was still worried.

So, she decided to go next door to find Madam Zhou and ask her to help receive the newcomers.

Lin Zhi said to Madam Zhou:

"If Acai and the others have returned by then, then let Acai take charge of bringing them in; if they haven't returned yet, you and Daya can help."

After hearing this, Madam Zhou nodded with a serious expression and said, "I understand, Master."

After arranging everything, Lin Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to the yamen to pay taxes.

Just like last time, she brought the account book and money with her. However, this time she did not hand the account book directly to the staff like last time.

However, it was not that Lin Zhi took the initiative to hand over all the materials to the staff. Instead, she would only hand over the corresponding parts based on the materials the staff asked her to provide.

The staff member who received her was still the same one from last time. When he saw Lin Zhi coming to pay taxes again this month, he showed a look of surprise on his face.

After all, this was the first time he had met a businessman who was so proactive in coming to pay taxes.

He thought that businessmen like this must be very popular with their superiors. Of course, he also had a good impression of Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi brought a large number of account books and related materials, but only a few were actually needed.

The staff quickly completed the procedures for her.

Lin Zhi held the note with the official seal in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

She has always been a good citizen who pays her taxes on time, and this has never changed, no matter what era she lives in.

Shortly after Lin Zhi stepped out of the yamen, the county magistrate came to the place where she had just paid taxes.

Seeing the arrival of the county magistrate, the tax collector immediately reported to the county magistrate that Lin Zhi insisted on paying taxes every month, and added:

"You may not know, my lord, that this Madam Lin is very enthusiastic about paying taxes, and she generously gave me the detailed account books of her shop. She is such an open-minded person!"

The county magistrate narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile, "Mrs. Lin? Why do I keep hearing about this lady these days?"

The tax collector smiled and explained in a flattering manner: "Your Excellency, it's because Madam Lin has been in frequent contact with people from our county government recently!"

The county magistrate raised his eyebrows and uttered a puzzled “Hmm?”

Upon seeing this, the tax collector came forward and told the whole story between Lin Zhi and the county government.

He first mentioned the incident of Lin Zhi saving the brothers Li Hongyi and Li Hongwen before entering the city, and then recounted the various past events of people in the yamen accepting bribes, without missing a single thing.

These matters had long been known to everyone in the yamen. Even though they involved the county magistrate's family affairs, the tax collectors did not shy away and spoke directly to his face.

The county magistrate suddenly realized what was going on and muttered to himself, "So that's how it is... I'll have to have the people in the yamen take better care of this Miss Lin in the future."

Upon hearing this, the tax collector immediately understood and nodded.

In fact, in addition to what the tax collector said, there was another secret that others did not know.

It turned out that the county magistrate's son had visited the Lin family shop many times some time ago and had an argument with his daughter-in-law about it.

The daughter-in-law had always felt that her son had another woman outside.

But who would have thought that the truth would be so surprising! When all the mysteries were solved, the daughter-in-law suddenly realized that Lin Zhi was not her son's mistress, but her nephew's lifesaver!

This misunderstanding made the daughter-in-law feel extremely guilty, and she regretted several times that she had spoken ill of her benefactor behind his back.

On the other hand, Lin Zhi knew nothing about what happened after she left the yamen.

After finishing the work at hand, she did not go home directly, but rushed to the carpenter to urge the progress.

After all, so much time has passed, and she doesn't know whether the wooden doors and beds in the house have been finished.

At first she didn't rush the carpenter because she thought that since the new employee was a woman, it didn't matter if there was no small door.

But now there are two more male employees, and if there is no door to separate the two shops, Lin Zhi will not be able to feel at ease.

When he saw Lin Zhi, the carpenter started explaining with a smile.

"Both doors are done. I'll find time to install them for you when you're free. As for the bed, it was just finished today. The paint needs to be dried for a while before it can be officially completed. It will probably take about two days."

Lin Zhi was so happy when he heard this: "It doesn't matter if the bed is installed a few days later. Just install the door for me now."

The carpenter was a straightforward man. Without saying a word, he immediately took his tools and apprentices and carried the door to Lin Zhi's shop.

Lin Zhi left a short distance ahead of time and hurried back home.

When she stepped into the house, she was surprised to find that Acai and the others had returned to work, but Zhao Mu and Zhao Tu had not arrived yet.

She secretly felt fortunate in her heart, because sometimes she really couldn't bear to leave Daya alone at home.

This experience made her determined to never take risks and do things that would make her worry again.

Not long after, the carpenter and his apprentices arrived. Since they were already familiar with each other, they did not exchange long-winded polite words and immediately began to install the door.

Just as they finished installing the door to the yard, Zhao Mu and Zhao Tu arrived, dragging their luggage, followed closely by their families.

The two children seldom go out because of their physical disabilities. This is the first time they have gone out to work separately from their family.

As parents, our hearts are of course filled with endless worries.

But they also know that for the sake of their children's future, they must learn to let go at the appropriate time and give them space to grow and become independent.

Everyone will eventually face death; this is an inevitable fate.

However, deep down in their hearts, people always have a beautiful wish, that is, before leaving this world, they hope to see their children thrive and have sufficient abilities.

Even without the company and care of parents, they can still live independently and well.

This expectation stems from parents' deep and endless love for their children, as well as their concern and worry about the future.
