My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.
Chapter 9 What a big face! Who does he think he is?
At this moment, Lin Mo, along with her mother and younger brother, went directly into one of the large communal sleeping areas.
She chose the innermost corner, put down her luggage, and began to do some simple cleaning.
Liu Ying frowned:
"MoMo, shall we come in and tidy up first? Would that be inappropriate?"
"No!" Lin Mo picked up a tattered broom from the side and deftly swept away the dust.
"In a moment, they'll only regret not coming in and taking up space sooner."
As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Shuo, who was helping out from the side:
"Mother, brother, I've remembered."
From now on, wherever we arrive, we'll first secure a place to rest; we can worry about other things later.
After a long day of walking, you must get a good rest tonight.
Therefore, a place to rest is very important.
In particular, for this group of more than a thousand exiled people, the resting place was far from enough.
Those who couldn't get a spot had no choice but to sit outside all night, unable to even lie down for a moment.
After walking all day, and in the dead of winter, you can only imagine how it felt.
Lin Shuo nodded seriously, indicating that he understood.
Liu Ying wanted to say something more, but seeing the state of her daughter and son, all her words turned into a long sigh.
Everything is fate.
At that moment, inexperienced people, after being given instructions by the clerk, rushed in to claim their spots.
When people saw the clean place that Lin Mo and her two daughters had tidied up, they couldn't help but sigh, "Someone actually came in first."
The Shen family arrived relatively late, and when they came in, the place was already full.
Shen Qingyun's face darkened. He glanced around and immediately led his men to another dormitory.
Unfortunately, wherever he went, the place was always full of people.
Similarly, the Han family and Xu Wuyan's group also failed to secure a spot.
However, it wasn't that the Han family failed to grab anything; rather, there were too many Han family members, and the space they occupied was too small to be enough.
Their eyes were fixed on Lin Mo.
After all, Lin Mo and her two daughters occupied a large piece of land.
Shen Qingyun, with his men, helped Zhou Yuxuan to Lin Mo's side.
"Now that it's cleaned up, I'll take this piece of land. You can find somewhere else to sleep."
Looking at Shen Qingyun's matter-of-fact expression, Lin Mo laughed in exasperation.
This person has a huge face.
Who does he think he is?
Lin Mo, too lazy to waste words, kicked him:
"If you're going to dream, get lost."
Shen Qingyun, who had been kicked to the ground, was flushed red. He angrily got up and shouted:
"Lin Mo, don't be ungrateful."
I'm telling you, I'm giving you a chance. As long as you give up the land, I will forgive you, and my Shen family will be willing to protect you and your two daughters until you reach the place of exile.
"Hmph, otherwise let me tell you, without the protection of the Shen family, you wouldn't even reach the place of exile."
Lin Mo scoffed, thanking him for his kindness.
Protecting?
If they get involved with the Shen family, they probably won't even make it to the place of exile.
Too lazy to waste words, Lin Mo picked up a broom and got straight to work.
After being beaten and howling in pain, Shen Qingyun and the others finally couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out in a disheveled state.
As they rushed out, they kept cursing Lin Mo.
Lin Mo didn't even glance at them.
The Shen family members who didn't manage to get a seat inside are in for a tough time tonight.
If she remembered correctly, there would have been a torrential downpour tonight in her past life.
In her past life, it was she and her two daughters who got caught in the rain.
This time, it's the Shen family's turn to experience what it's like to get soaked in the rain.
Lin Mo asked Lin Shuo to bring Xu Wuyan and the others in, while she bent down to look at the kang (heated brick bed) below, wanting to see if the kang was still usable.
In the dead of winter, with the rain, it will get even colder.
Without a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) and without blankets, it's easy to get sick in this kind of weather.
Although she has blankets in her space, it's not appropriate to take them out directly now.
The kang (heated brick bed) is still usable.
Lin Mo was very satisfied.
She stood up and saw her mother looking at her with teary eyes, and frowned.
"Mother? What's wrong?"
Liu Ying reached out and grabbed her hand, shaking her head, "Mo Mo, you've suffered so much in these three years at the Marquis of Chang Le's residence. You've had a tough time."
Forehead!
Lin Mo felt ashamed.
Did her mother misunderstand something?
Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain. I know a lot of things, and if I explain them one by one, I'm afraid I might accidentally reveal the secret of my rebirth.
"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine." Lin Mo shook her head.
Just then, Xu Wuyan led the Xu family members in and squeezed in.
The Xu family consisted of three masters, two nannies from the maternal side, a steward, and five guards, totaling eleven people.
Lin Mo stepped forward and, after receiving Xu Wuyan's permission, immediately began making arrangements.
The five guards were tasked with finding firewood, food, and straw for tonight's cooking. Lin Mo told them to find as much firewood and straw as possible.
The housekeeper and nanny helped make the shoes.
The two nannies had no objection to making shoes, since they were skilled at it.
但材料呢?
Qin, the old nanny in charge of taking care of Xu Xianyu, stepped forward, "Princess Consort..."
"Your property has been confiscated and you've been exiled. If you keep shouting like this, you'll only become a laughingstock. Stop shouting." Lin Mo waved her hand.
Granny Qin was taken aback, then nodded:
"Young Madam, making shoes is simple, but even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; it's hard to make something without ingredients."
Lin Mo picked up a small bundle from the corner, which she had taken out of her spatial storage when no one was looking at the Wind and Rain Pavilion.
She handed over the bundle:
"Here you have some leather and some shoe soles. Make the shoes according to my instructions."
After saying that, he stated his requirements.
Because the weather is going to be rainy and snowy, it's easy to get your shoes and pants wet.
Walking in constantly soaked shoes will not only frostbite your feet, but you may also catch a cold.
The cold and wind on the road to exile can easily be fatal.
Therefore, she specially selected these leathers and soles.
The bottom layer of the sole is made of wood, with two raised teeth to prevent the shoes from getting wet.
The leather, on the other hand, is waterproof.
Using this waterproof leather for the shoe upper provides an extra layer of protection.
She plans to have the uppers of these shoes made longer, so they can cover the calves.
This way, even if it rains heavily, your trouser legs won't get wet from splashing rainwater.
Both Granny Qin and Granny Lin were very skilled at needlework, and they immediately understood what Lin Mo meant.
Although I was puzzled as to why she wanted to make these strange shoes, she was the mistress, and she said that they would make them.
The housekeeper, Xu Dapeng, assisted them.
After dividing up the tasks, the three of them immediately sat down and got busy.
Just as Lin Mo was about to speak when she saw the Xu sisters standing blankly to the side, Madam Han arrived.
"All of you, get up. We want these positions." Madam Han said in a condescending manner.
Lin Mo was both angry and amused.
One group was driven away, and another group came, all with an air of charity.
These shameless people are still crowding around!
Lin Mo uttered a single word, "Get lost!"
Madam Han's expression changed instantly. She thought that by condescending to come here, Lin Mo, this remarried woman, would listen to her and do whatever she said in order to please her and help the Xu and Han families gain a foothold.
Unexpectedly, this woman was just as annoying as she had been at the beginning.
Madam Han, her face grim, said with a hint of threat:
"Lin Mo, I am an elder."
I'm asking you to give up your seat because I think highly of you, so you'd better not be ungrateful.
Otherwise, you'll be labeled disrespectful and unfilial, and I'd like to see how the world views you! If you make me happy, then everything is negotiable.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ying became anxious.
Her daughter already has a bad reputation; what if she gets labeled with something else?
He was so eager to speak that he immediately became impatient.
Lin Shuo reacted quickly, grabbing her hand and shaking his head as he whispered:
"Mother, don't speak."
My sister said before that if anyone comes to cause trouble, we should tell them to keep an eye on Mom so that she doesn't do anything foolish.
Liu Ying worriedly said, "But your sister..."
"Mother, let my sister handle this. Don't worry about it." Lin Shuo shook his head.
"Mother, your not getting involved is the best help you can give to my sister."
He realized from today's events that his mother was a spineless coward who was afraid of trouble.
If someone is a little harsh with her, she will apologize and admit her mistake.
Liu Ying, "..."
Was she rejected by her children?
Did she do something wrong?
She just didn't want Momo's reputation to get any worse; she was worried about Momo!
