Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

"Little Six! I've always treated you guys well, haven't I?"

"Shopkeeper, you're so kind to us."

Zhao Xiaoliu was a little confused and didn't understand what Manager Lei meant by asking the question, so he gave an answer next time.

He had barely finished answering when he heard Manager Lei ask again, "Since I've treated you all well, what's the meaning of this?"

"Is it because the silver I gave you wasn't enough, or did you blatantly embezzle my silver? Just three coins, who are you trying to fool?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoliu was so frightened that he couldn't speak. Then, trembling, he took out the remaining copper coins from his pocket.

"Manager, I...I didn't embezzle any money, I...I really didn't..."

Seeing the copper coins Zhao Xiaoliu took out, Manager Lei asked again, "You still have extra copper coins? Why didn't you buy more?"

Are these three pieces enough to fill a gap between your teeth?

Zhao Xiaoliu was almost in tears. He wanted to buy more too, but he couldn't!

When he arrived, they were almost sold out, but he managed to squeeze in and grab these three pieces despite his desperate efforts.

Otherwise, I probably wouldn't even be able to buy these three.

Hearing this, Manager Lei was somewhat surprised: "Is their business really that good?"

Zhao Xiaoliu nodded fearlessly. Their food is delicious, so of course their business is good. If our food were just as delicious, they definitely couldn't compete with us.

But Manager Lei didn't believe it. He packed up all the copper coins and pastries and then went upstairs to a room.

He respectfully opened the door and went in, placing the box of pastries on the table: "Young master, these are the pastries from that shop."

A young man in brocade robes stood by the window, watching the people coming and going downstairs. Hearing Manager Lei's voice, he turned his head to look.

Then we saw the three pastries that Manager Lei took out.

The pastries on the plate weren't as exquisite as those from Baixiangzhai, and their colors weren't very appealing either, but they had a delicate fragrance.

He walked over, took a piece, and tasted it, then stopped in his tracks.

He glanced at the two pieces left on the plate and said, "Old Lei, you can try it too."

When Manager Lei heard this, he thought there was something wrong with the pastry. But when he put a piece in his mouth, his eyes lit up instantly.

He's the owner of a pastry shop, and he's eaten countless pastries over the years, but none of them are quite like this one...

Manager Lei was a little embarrassed to describe the feeling and taste; compared to their Bai Xiang Zhai pastries, these were simply inedible.

Seeing his actions, the young master chuckled and said, "Old Lei, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. This saying is never an empty boast."

"Young Master's teachings are correct, Old Lei understands!"

When Manager Lei arrived downstairs, he was quite annoyed. The next day, as soon as Gu Dachui and his group set up their stall, an old man appeared in front of them.

The old man just wandered around in front of their stall, neither buying pastries nor asking prices, just walking back and forth, seemingly without any intention of doing anything.

After Ershi helped his older brother set up the goods, he saw that Manager Lei was still there and asked directly, "Uncle, if you're not buying anything, don't block the way. I still have business to do!"

"How dare you talk like that? How do you know I won't buy anything?"

"You've been wandering around here for ages, and you haven't asked anything or bought anything. Do you look like you're here to buy anything?"

"Didn't you guys not finish just now? Can't I wait until you're done before I buy it?"

Upon hearing this, Ershi quickly stepped aside, revealing his stall. Manager Lei's lips twitched when he saw it.

Then I heard him ask, "Which of you two can make the decision?"

Gu Dachui replied with three words, "Neither."

"Then who are the people in charge?"

"none of your business?"

This time, it was Ershi who answered. He was a little unhappy when he heard Manager Lei asking about Lin Cai.

An old-fashioned guy, asking what the young girl was doing, didn't have any ulterior motive.

"Of course it's related. I want to do business with you, but you can't make the decision yourself. You should send someone who can make the decision to talk to me."

"You can tell us directly what kind of business you want to do with us, and we will pass it on to you when we get back."

Manager Lei didn't expect the two brothers to do this, but he had no other choice, so he told Ershi his idea.

When Lin Cai heard the news the two brothers brought back, she turned to Gu Dachui and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"I think it's possible, but we can't give them everything; at least we need to keep the formula in our hands."

"Since you've already thought it through, then I'll leave it to you to do. If you have any questions or don't understand anything, just ask me."

Gu Dachui and Ershi didn't expect that Lin Cai would directly entrust this matter to them.

The two brothers were a little flustered when they heard this.

"Why should we handle this? We don't know anything about this. What if we mess it up? This is a business that makes money. Can't you be a little more serious?"

Ershi was a little anxious, and he didn't think things through when he spoke. He only realized what he had said after he had finished.

Lin Cai looked at him and said, "Just because I asked you to do it doesn't mean I'm not going to care. Your older brother has already gotten married, and now it's your turn."

“Whether it’s you or your older brother, you will both have your own families in the future, and the responsibility of supporting your families will fall on your shoulders. Right now, I have to make all the decisions, and you do all the talking.”

"After you all have your own families and children, will you still listen to me and do whatever I say?"

Ershi was speechless, but he was really afraid of messing things up. He turned to look at his older brother, and seeing that his brother had no objections, he remained silent.

Before they left, Lin Cai spoke to Sanhu, saying that she had decided to send him to school.

Sanhu is still young and can go to school. Who knows, he might have a brighter future.

Gu Dachui and Ershi had no objections, because they both knew that Lin Cai was doing it for their younger brother's good.

Moreover, if they had money, they would send their younger brother to school, so that he wouldn't end up like them, a farmer for life.

With no objections from either brother, Lin Cai began to take action, first inquiring with Lin Bao about which academies or private schools were in town.

"Little sister, Sanhu is indeed a good student, but aren't you afraid he'll be bullied if you send him to the academy at such a young age?"

"If you're afraid of being bullied, does that mean you won't go to school? If you're afraid of the hard work, the sun, and the prospect of a bad harvest when farming, does that mean you'll never farm and just starve to death?"

Lin Bao lowered his head and touched his nose after being teased by his younger sister.
