My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

The next day, Lin Qingxue packed her clothes early and rushed to the city with Jiang Bin.

Along the way, the snow was piled up very thickly, and the road surface was covered with layers of ice crystals, which looked beautiful and translucent.

The carriage moved very slowly. The road to the city was completely covered by snow in some places, so the driver could only feel his way forward carefully.

Lin Qingxue arrived in the city carefully and went straight to her home. When she got home, the three couples of Lin Qingming's brothers had already gone to work in the shop.

Even though there are snow disasters everywhere and so many people have died because of them, it has no impact on those who are truly powerful.

No, it should be said that there is still some impact, that is, it is inconvenient to go out and play. It is too cold outside. Unless necessary, those young men and women are unwilling to go out and play.

It was already late when they arrived in the city. Lin Qingxue put the luggage back in the room and took Lin Qingyue to the street to buy things so that Jiang Bin could take them back to the village for Mrs. Lin and the others.

Since there were still clothes at home, Lin Qingxue did not buy any more clothes or cloth. Instead, she bought some snacks and wine for Mrs. Lin and Old Man Lin, as well as four pig's trotters and some meat.

Seeing that they had almost finished buying things, Lin Qingxue asked Jiang Bin to drive the carriage back to the village, and specifically told him that the pig's trotters were for the Liu family next door.

Liu Er's wife had just given birth and needed pig's trotters to produce milk, otherwise the baby would go hungry.

After buying things, Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue walked hand in hand to the food building. Seeing the shop crowded with customers, she did not hesitate at all and pulled Lin Qingyue to the counter to register and keep accounts, and asked Lin Qingran to help Lin Qingming and others.

Perhaps because hot pot is more appropriate in winter, there are a lot of people coming to eat hot pot during this period. When Lin Qingran saw the Lin Qingxue sisters coming to replace him, he naturally did not hesitate.

"Qingyue, you are responsible for recording the ordered dishes in this account book, and I will be responsible for the cashier." Lin Qingxue was worried that her sister Lin Qingyue was timid, so she specially gave her the simplest job of keeping the account book, and whispered to her.

"I understand, sister," Lin Qingyue nodded slightly with a red face. It was her first time appearing in front of so many people, not counting the time when she was fleeing from famine.

Lin Qingxue didn't say anything else, lowered her head and got busy. The two sisters were each doing their own thing, in a tacit and warm manner.

As time passed, the food hall continued to be crowded with customers, and the sounds of noise, chatter and laughter mixed together, filling the entire space with a lively atmosphere.

Lin Qingxue collected money skillfully, always with a faint smile on her face, responding to every customer who came to pay, and occasionally exchanging a few words with familiar old customers.

As for Lin Qingyue, she was a little nervous at first, and her hands were shaking slightly as she recorded in the account book. But slowly, she got into the groove, and each stroke she wrote became more neat and clear.

"Oh, isn't this the fourth daughter of the Lin family? She's here in person to collect the cash and keep the accounts today," a young man in a brocade robe joked. He was a frequent visitor to this restaurant and was familiar with Lin Qingxue.

Lin Qingxue smiled and replied, "The store is busy, so I'm here to help. Are you satisfied with your meal today, sir?"

"I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied. Your hot pot tastes better the more I eat it. It's so cold and I rely on it to satisfy my cravings." The young man laughed, paid the money and left leisurely.

After a while, the number of customers finally decreased. Lin Qingxue straightened up, rubbed her sore wrist, turned to look at Lin Qingyue, and asked softly, "Are you tired? Qingyue, take a break first."

Lin Qingyue shook her head, a hint of stubbornness on her face: "I'm not tired, sister, I can still continue. Third brother works all day long, how can I be tired after just a short while?"

At this moment, Lin Qingming came out from the kitchen. Seeing his two sisters working diligently, he was very pleased. "Thank you for your hard work. Business is really good today, thanks to your help."

"Brother, why are you talking about hard work? This is our own business and we should contribute our share," Lin Qingxue said with a smile.

Lin Qingming nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then went back to the kitchen to busy himself. After the guests left, it was time for them to eat.

They still had hotpot for lunch. It was already mid-afternoon after lunch. Li Yanniang and her female relatives sat in the backyard washing dishes, and then washed and prepared vegetables.

It wasn't long before dinner, so no one had time to rest and everyone was busy preparing the dishes for dinner.

Sure enough, as soon as it got dark, people who wanted to eat hot pot came in one after another. Lin Qingming and his men hurried over to greet them.

A series of orders kept the sisters Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue busy for a while. It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening, when most of the guests in the food restaurant had left, that Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue began to sort out the account books and check today's accounts.

"Sister, we made a lot of money today. It seems that the hot pot business is getting better and better," Lin Qingyue looked at the numbers in the account book, her eyes full of surprise.

"Yes, but we can't slack off. We have to continue to control the quality and retain our customers," Lin Qingxue said as she carefully put away the account book.

After everything was cleaned up, Lin Qingming and the others brought over dinner. After dinner, they left Liu Tao and four servants to sleep in the shop, while the others went home in a carriage.

It was completely dark outside, and the street lanterns were lit up one after another, casting a soft glow on the snow.

"Sister, shall we come and help tomorrow?" Lin Qingyue looked up at Lin Qingxue, her eyes full of expectation. She didn't want to stay at home, but she was also a little reluctant to come to the shop to help.

It’s not that she is tired, but Lin Qingyue feels that she has reached the age to get married, and she doesn’t want her reputation to be damaged so as not to affect her marriage.

Lin Qingxue thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Don't come tomorrow. You should have a good rest at home."

"Yes! Qingxue, Qingyue, you two sisters don't want to come tomorrow. Your eldest brother has already posted a notice to recruit two servants and a maid to help with the accounting and kitchen. Once he finds people, let your eldest and third brothers come over from time to time, and we won't have to go."

After Lin Qingxue finished speaking, Li Yanniang continued, saying that they had discussed it and now that the business in the shop had stabilized, they didn't plan to go there every day. They could just hire a few waiters to do the work.

All the children in the family have gone to school, Lin Qingyue is also old enough to get married, and Lin Qingxue is still so young, so she will definitely look for another one in the future. Their reputation cannot be damaged, and they cannot affect the several scholars in the family.
