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

Under the leadership of Lin Qingming and others, the newly recruited people got the hang of things quickly. The new accountant Huang Qiang got the hang of things even faster. He knew what to do as soon as Lin Qingran told him to.

After the food restaurant had enough staff, Lin Qingxue began to think about the restaurant. She and Lin Qingbai went out early and came back late every day to check on the shop.

Fortunately, due to the recent snowstorm, the imperial court ordered the punishment of a group of corrupt officials, and many fields and farms near the imperial city and shops in the city were sold.

Lin Qingxue also took the opportunity to buy two farms at a low price, one with one hundred acres and the other with two hundred acres. The Lin family also wanted to take the opportunity to buy a few shops and houses. They had no shortage of money, but they lacked property.

Now that there is an opportunity, how could the Lin family be willing to miss it?

Lin Qingxue followed the people from Ya Si to look at the shops. The shops that were sold this time, which were in slightly better locations, had already been bought by the powerful people in the city. The remaining ones of moderate size were cheap for pickers like Lin Qingxue.

After looking around, Lin Qingxue chose three shops and two houses with two courtyards. The three shops were located in North City, West City and East City respectively, and the two houses with two courtyards were located in North City and West City respectively.

Lin Qingxue looked at both the shop and the yard. She thought they were all OK, so she planned to go back and talk to Lin Qingming and the others.

In the evening, Lin Qingxue sat in the front hall waiting for Lin Qingming and his group to come back. At around nine o'clock, Lin Qingming and his group finally came back.

"Qingxue, why haven't you slept yet? How was your visit to the shop today?" As soon as he came in, he saw Lin Qingxue sitting in the front hall waiting. How could Lin Qingming and the others not know that she had something to talk to them about!

"Qingxue, it's so late and you haven't slept yet. Tell me! Do you have something to tell us?" Lin Qingbai asked directly with a hint of smile in her tone. Although the others didn't say anything, they also looked at her with a smile on their faces.

"I went to look at the shops today and also looked at the yards. I liked three shops and two yards. I mean, I want to buy them. I just don't know what you think?"

Lin Qingxue sat motionless on the chair, looking up at Lin Qingming and the others with a very serious expression. Although she could afford all these shops and yards by herself, she would have no money left after buying them.

"Then buy it. What do you mean?" Lin Qingming said in a firm tone. He looked straight at Lin Qingxue. He knew that her words would not be so simple and there must be other meanings.

"There are two courtyards. Big brother and second brother, it depends on which of you two wants one. I want to buy the other one as a dowry for Qingyue. As for the three shops, second brother and I each want one, and we can buy the other one to open a branch of the Food Restaurant. What do you think?"

Lin Qingxue did not hide her thoughts and expressed them directly. The second courtyard was not easy to buy, so she wanted to buy it for Lin Qingyue as a dowry, and let one of Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai buy the other courtyard.

As for the three shops, Lin Qingbai needs one to open a restaurant, and she also wants to open a new shop to do some small business. As for the other one, she can open a branch of the food restaurant. After all, the food restaurant's business is booming now. Many people come and leave when the shop is full. She has talked to them several times.

After hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Lin Qingming and the others didn't say anything. They just looked at each other. Finally, Lin Qingming turned to look at Lin Qingxue and nodded slightly. "Okay, give me that yard! The shop will be as you said."

"I have no objection," Lin Qingbai nodded.

"Me too," Lin Qingran echoed. The wives of the three men did not say anything, but judging from their expressions, they were willing.

"Okay, then it's settled. The money will come from your share, and the same goes for Qingyue. Oh, and there are a lot of people selling land. What do you think we should buy some? It's just that the location is a bit far away."

Lin Qingxue frowned, quite hesitant. She didn't want to buy it, since she had already bought two farms.

But my family's land is really only a few acres, so I don't want to buy it! I'm also afraid that Lin Qingming and the others will disagree.

"Is there a farm for sale?" Lin Qingming asked with a frown. The fields were far away and inconvenient to take care of, so he didn't really want to buy it.

"Yes, I have two, and I also have three or four small farms of about 80 acres each. If you want them, I will buy them tomorrow."

Lin Qingxue nodded, and she said rather embarrassedly that it was not that she didn't want to buy a farm for the Lin family, but that she was too tight on time to ask.

"Okay, if there are extras, buy a farm for each of us, right? Do we have enough silver? The courtyards and shops in the imperial city should be very expensive, right?" Lin Qingming asked in a low voice.

"Yes! Qingxue girl, if you can't afford it, then forget it, but don't make us pay for it," Lin Qingbai also said.

Lin Qingran looked at his two brothers and whispered, "If you can afford it, buy it. If you don't have enough money, you can buy it for us first. We will consider it as a loan from you and pay you back when we make money later."

Lin Qingran's words were met with angry glares from Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai, but they didn't say no because they really couldn't bear to do so.

"I know that I have enough money. There should be some left after buying everything," Lin Qingxue estimated the money needed and there was no need for her to add any extra money.

"That's good. Let the second brother go with you tomorrow," Lin Qingming said. Seeing that it was getting late, he sent everyone back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Qingxue nodded and agreed immediately. She went back to her room to rest. She was tired after running around during the day and waiting for Lin Qingming and the others for so long at night.

In Lin Qingming's room, he washed up and lay on the bed, watching Li Yanniang busying around. He whispered, "Wife, after the snowstorm is over, I will go back to the village to farm. I can't live in the city. Will you blame me?"

Hearing Lin Qingming's words, Li Yanniang put down the clothes in her hands, walked to his side, and said, "How could I blame you! Brother Ming, I've been married to you for so long, don't I know what kind of person you are? Besides, I'm not used to life in the city, so it's nice to go back to the village."

"Wife, I'm not good at studying, and I don't know how to do business. I only have strength and can only farm. I'm sorry that you have to follow me," Lin Qingming said emotionally while hugging Li Yanniang.

Li Yan's mother shook her head and said softly, "I'm not wronged. I don't have a family. I married into the Lin family. My parents, grandparents, and you have treated me the same way for ten years. The child is also sensible. I'm very happy that I married you."

Lin Qingming nodded without saying anything else. The couple hugged each other for a while and then blew out the candle. They lay in the quilt, hugged each other tightly and fell asleep.
