Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 7 Buy, buy, buy

The old man was ecstatic and rushed into the inner room at a speed that was inconsistent with his age. When he came out, he was holding a stack of banknotes, several silver ingots and a purse, all of which were piled in front of Lin Xin.

Lin Xin checked them one by one. Fortunately, the characters in this world were similar to the traditional Chinese characters in the world of her previous life. She could barely make out that the face value of the silver note was one hundred taels. She counted them and found that there were eleven of them, totaling one thousand one hundred taels. There were also five silver ingots, four of twenty taels and one of ten taels, totaling ninety taels. In the purse were a few pieces of loose silver and a thousand copper coins, totaling ten taels.

He considered everything for her, both in small and large amounts.

"For the sake of such excellent medicinal herbs, I'm reminding you that you must hide this money well. If someone finds it, you might lose your life on it, understand?"

"Thank you for reminding me. I will come to you next time when I have good medicinal herbs." Lin Xin put the silver bills in her arms, wrapped the silver ingots with the rags used to wrap ginseng and put them in the backpack. She held the purse in her hand and thanked the old man. In fact, the silver bills and silver ingots had been thrown into the space long ago.

"Okay, we'll talk about it next time. Now go!" The old man waved his hand, holding his precious ginseng, and drove Lin Xin away.

Lin Xin didn't care. She picked up Lin Nan, put him in the backpack and turned away.

"Sister, are we rich now?" After walking a long way away, Lin Nan leaned close to her ear like a thief and asked in a whisper.

"Yes! We have money now. We can buy whatever Nannan wants." Having money made her feel at ease. Lin Xin felt relieved. She rubbed Linnan's head and said happily, "Come on, I'll take Nannan out for some delicious food first, and then we'll go shopping."

"Yeah!" Lin Nan nodded vigorously.

After the experience at Yong'an Hall, Lin Xin felt that she and Lin Nan's attire was not suitable for a restaurant meal, so they chose a wonton stall run by an elderly couple on the roadside. This made Lin Nan very excited, and she sat on a stool, staring at the boiling pot with her big eyes.

The plump white wontons floating in the boiling soup attracted Lin Nan's full attention as soon as they were served. They were so delicious that he swallowed several times in succession.

Lin Xin asked the store owner for an empty bowl, put the wontons in it to cool, and then let Lin Nan eat with a spoon.

As soon as Lin Nan put the dough wrapped with the salty and fragrant filling into his mouth, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. It was so delicious!

Seeing him like this, Lin Xin felt inexplicably sad, for him and for the original owner. Since the original owner's parents passed away, these two children really haven't had a good meal. The original owner was better off, at least he had a father and a mother for a few years. In comparison, Lin Nan was even more pitiful.

"Don't be in a hurry, Nannan. Eat slowly."

"Mmm, these wontons are delicious. You should have some too, sister."

"Okay, sister will eat too."

After finishing a delicious meal of wontons, Lin Xin realized when she was paying that such a big bowl of wontons only cost six copper coins, or six coins, and one tael of silver was one thousand coins. By this calculation, the ginseng really sold for quite a bit of money!

Lin Xin felt really at ease now. Twelve hundred taels of silver was enough for her and her brother to use for a long time. When they had used up all the money, they could just buy another one and sell it. They wouldn't have to worry about their future life and could just relax and relax.

She doesn't have the ambitions of those time-traveling heroines, and she has no interest in doing business and making a lot of money. All she wants now is to raise Lin Nan well, send him to school in two years, let him pass the imperial examination, and when he becomes an official, she can comfortably take care of her younger brother. Well, great!

All women have a characteristic: they like to vent their emotions by shopping when they are in a bad mood, and they also like to vent their emotions by shopping when they are in a very good mood. Take Lin Xin for example, after having lived a life of free shopping and robbing others for several years in the apocalypse, she can finally spend money happily, and she can't control herself all of a sudden.

The key is that there is nothing at home and everything has to be bought.

Rice, flour, grain, oil, needlework, cloth, clothes, and bedding—these were just the basics. There were also various seasonings. Winter was approaching, so thick clothes and quilts for both of them were necessary. And snacks for the children—since we had the means, we could arrange everything.

So, when they returned, in addition to the full backpack, Lin Xin also had several bundles hanging on her body, and even Lin Nan was carrying two small packages in his hands, which were filled with candies and snacks, all of which he had chosen himself.

When they returned to the village, it was evening. The brother and sister, carrying a lot of bags and small packages, immediately attracted the attention of the whole village. Many aunts and sisters gathered around them and asked questions.

"Oh, you bought so many good things, Xin girl must have made a fortune!"

"Wow, Xin and Nan are both wearing new clothes. These fine cotton clothes must be very expensive!"

"You know what, after changing their clothes, the brother and sister look different. They both look much better!"

"What you said is true. Brother Lin and Sister Lin are both first-class good-looking. How could their children be bad?"

"Then according to what you said, why didn't I see how pretty Xin and her sister were before?"

"Is there any need to ask? The life these two children led before would have worn away any good looks they had."

"You said the same thing about Uncle Lin and his wife. Second Brother Lin is not their son? Why do they allow him and his wife to be bullied? Look at the eldest and third sons of the Lin family, and then look at their wives and children."

"That's right, these two kids are so pitiful!"

"Hey, what do you think? Now that Xin has become rich, will she be filial to the old mansion?"

"You ask this question. If it were you, would you be filial?"

"But they are her grandparents after all. It wouldn't sound good if disrespectful words were spread out!"

"It's no use saying nice things. Didn't you see it a few days ago? Xin had a high fever and passed out. Nan knelt at the door of the old house and begged his grandmother to save his sister. But the family let the child kneel for half a day and no one came out to check. If Xin hadn't been so lucky, she might have died. Who wouldn't have some thoughts in this situation?"

"Ugh!"

Everyone was talking about it, and those who were curious had already run to the Lin family's old house.

When the brother and sister, who had finally escaped from the villagers, returned to their shabby house, they were greeted by the Lin family, headed by Old Lady Lin. Their greedy eyes never left the things that Lin Xin had not had time to pack.

"Big brother, your Yang Ge'er has worked hard in his studies. Take these fine grains back to nourish his body. Also, use these pieces of fine cotton cloth to make him some decent clothes so that he won't be looked down upon in school." As soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Lin started giving orders about the things Lin Xin had bought.

"Okay, I'll do it right away. Mother, you still love Yang'er. When he passes the imperial examination and becomes an official in the future, you will be able to enjoy the good life with him." Boss Lin rubbed his hands greedily and said to Mrs. Lin in a flattering way.

"Mom, you only think about Yang'er. Jing'er is also your grandson!" Xu loved her youngest son the most. When she heard that all the good things were given to her eldest son, she immediately became dissatisfied.

She gave birth to two sons in total. The eldest was taken away by the old man and the old woman to be raised as soon as he was born. He was not close to her at all. Later, she gave birth to a younger son and raised him by her side. Fortunately, the younger son was very good and loved her the most.
