"At least fifty taels. White quebracho and oak will cost about forty-five taels. My production costs are five taels.

This wheelchair is complex and this is the lowest price I can offer you.”

The labor cost of five taels is not expensive. Even if this wheelchair is made, it will take more than ten days to complete.

"Okay, I'll pay forty taels first, and I'll pay the remaining ten taels when I get the goods."

Carpenter Huang nodded. He himself had suffered a foot injury and knew how painful it was for people who couldn't walk. He would do his best to make this wheelchair.

"Okay! Just leave your contact address."

Lin Ting paid the money and asked Carpenter Huang to make the wheelchair. After that, he could go to Wanhetang and tell them, and they would be able to find her.

After arranging the custom-made wheelchair, Lin Ting and Lin Lin went to buy mung beans and candy together.

Lin Lin didn't say much along the way and was in a low mood.

At this time, no matter how much comfort others give her, it will be of no use. She has to deal with it herself. Once she gets over this hurdle, everything will be fine.

Outside the gate of Wanhetang, Qu Yuanxun searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone selling sour plum soup. Didn't Xiaoju say that sour plum soup could be bought here? Why was there no one there?

As a county magistrate, he was nice in every way except that he didn't want to see her. This made his mother so angry that she became sick.

After finally discovering that she liked sour plum soup, he came to buy it specially to please his mother.

This is really unfortunate, others may have closed their stalls.

"Wei Ran, Wan Wei Ran!"

Qu Yuanxun strode through Wanhe Hall and went straight to the backyard, where he found Wan Weiran who was still reviewing acupuncture.

"Doctor Wan...is that beverage stand outside your clinic yours? Ask someone to get me some sour plum soup. I'm waiting for emergency treatment."

Wan Weiran, who was completely unprepared, was forcibly pulled up by his friend. In front of him, Qu Yuanxun did not behave like a county magistrate at all.

"Brother, I'm busy. Besides, I didn't make the sour plum soup. You can just find a girl to take with your aunt, and you won't have to work so hard.

If you want to drink sour plum soup, come early tomorrow. Master Lin and the others have gone home today."

Wan Weiran knew all about Qu Yuanxun's affairs. He had lost his wife and children for eight years and had endured indelible pain.

He doesn't want to experience this kind of pain again, and he has a psychological trauma, so he doesn't want to get married again.

"You know me, so why bother mocking me? My mother is in such a state, and it's hard for her to find something that can make her happy. Yesterday she drank sour plum soup and even ate a whole bowl of it for dinner.

I've been feeling guilty for years, so I couldn't let this opportunity slip by, so I wanted to come over and buy her some sour plum soup myself. But I didn't expect that after I finished my work, everyone else had already packed up their stalls.

After so many years, my friend still hasn't gotten over it.

"I know the ingredients for sour plum soup, but I really don't know the proportions of each ingredient. Even if I make it for you, it won't taste the same as what Master Lin and the others make."

Wan Weiran wanted to help his friend but there was nothing he could do because he really didn't know how Lin Ting and the others made it.

Just when both of them were worried, Lin Ting and Lin Lin came back and brought the ingredients to be prepared for tomorrow.

Wan Weiran raised the corner of his mouth and pulled up his friend's sleeve to look over.

"Haha, your sour plum soup is here."

Wan Weiran pulled Qu Yuanxun in front of Lin Ting and Lin Lin.

"Master Lin, Madam Lin, please help my friend make another serving of sour plum soup. He wanted to buy some for his aunt, but he's too late."

Lin Ting saw Qu Yuanxun from a distance and nodded to him.

"Greetings, Master Qu!"

Lin Lin next to him didn't know Qu Yuanxun. Seeing Lin Ting saluting, she also nodded and greeted him, but Lin Ting called this person "Sir"?

"Sister, this is the magistrate of Wenzhu County, Lord Qu."

County magistrate?

Lin Lin adjusted herself and gave Qu Yuanxun a standard bow again.

"My humble servant Lin Lin greets Master Qu."

"Mrs. Lin, there's no need to be so reserved. Your sister once saved my life. We are all friends."

He was just being polite, and Lin Lin didn't dare to really consider Qu Yuanxun as a friend.

"If Master Qu wants sour plum soup, I'll make it. It's getting late, so you should go home first, sister."

Lin Lin was in a bad mood. She didn't want to go back to her home in Shangdong Village so early, and she didn't want to see the faces of Li Ergou and her mother-in-law.

Now I just want to find something to do, the busier the better.

"Sister, can you really do this?"

Lin Lin forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I'll have to deal with it sooner or later. I'll adjust myself."

Wan Weiran and Qu Yuanxun both noticed that Lin Lin was in a bad mood, but they didn't know what had happened.

Lin Ting was worried about her, so he made sour plum soup with her.

After finishing, pack it up and give it to Qu Yuanxun.

"Master Qu, if the old lady likes to drink sour plum soup, I will reserve a portion for you every day from now on. Even if we close the stall, you can come to Wanhetang to get it."

Qu Yuanxun was extremely grateful for Lin Lin's words. This way, he could fulfill his filial piety and complete his official duties at the same time.

"Then I would like to thank Madam Lin first. If Madam Lin needs anything in the future, you can come to the county government office to find me."

"Ok!"

Lin Ting personally sent Lin Lin to the outside of Shangdong Village. Seeing that she could really control herself, he left nervously.

When Lin Lin returned home, she saw her mother-in-law standing at the door, slapping her thigh and crying.

"Son, there's really no money left at home. Don't dig any more. Even if you dig three feet deep, there's really no money left."

Li Ergou didn't believe it. All the money in the family was with Zhang. How could there be no money?

Lin Lin took a deep breath. She had suffered injustice in the Li family for so many years, worked hard, and tried countless disgusting folk remedies, but in the end she ended up being worse than an ox or a horse.

Li Ergou left countless scars on her body, and she would make him pay her back tenfold.

Adjust yourself, pretend you know nothing, and move forward while suppressing your nausea.

"Grandma, what's going on?"

Seeing Lin Lin coming back, Zhang pushed Lin Lin in front of Li Ergou as if she had seen a savior.

"Son, we only have two hundred coins left at home. This money is for my coffin. If you need money, go find Lin Lin. She works in the county.

Beat her up, and she'll definitely be able to find the money for you. If all else fails, she still has Lin Ting. The Shen family's ancestors were officials, so they're sure to have some money."

This was not the first time that Zhang had said such cold words, but this time, it made Lin Lin feel like he was in an ice cellar, which was more painful than a knife hitting him.

Li Ergou turned the house upside down and walked towards Lin Lin with disgust and unwillingness.

"Do you still have money?"

Lin Lin shook her head, tears in her eyes: "No, all the money I earned is with my mother-in-law."

Li Ergou knew what kind of person his mother was. She would not let Lin Lin have a penny on her.

"Husband..."

When she shouted these two words again, Lin Lin felt so disgusted.

"Has something serious happened to you? You need the money so urgently. If it's really something urgent, don't we need three acres of land? The land deed is in the box where my mother-in-law keeps her clothes."
