After leaving Shopkeeper Feng, Lin Xiaoman planned to go back to the village directly. When he walked to the city gate, he happened to see the handlebar driving a car.

"Uncle Ba Shi, is there still room?"

The handlebar chuckled, "Yes, there are only four people sitting here today, and I'm still thinking of going to the city gate to see if I can pull a few more."

Lin Xiaoman climbed into the car and saw Aunt Wang, who had come to the house a few days ago to ask him to sell salt to her, staring at him with a smile, "Oh, isn't this the great talent of our village? What?

Are you riding in the car with us? You don’t have one at home?”

Lin Xiaoman didn't want to talk to her, turned around and wanted to get out of the car, but was pulled over by someone on the side, "Hey, Xiaoman, don't listen to your Aunt Wang's farts, come and sit here with Aunt Erhua."

Lin Xiaoman couldn't let go of her hand and got out of the car, so he sat down next to her.

I looked at the people sitting in the car again. Good guy, Aunt Wang, Aunt Erhua, Aunt Li, and Mrs. Qi. They all get along well with Aunt Wang on weekdays. They are the chartered ones who like to talk about their wives.

Yes? No wonder there are so few people on the bus today.

But at this time, the car had already started driving, and Lin Xiaoman could only sit still, thinking that as long as they didn't go too far, she would treat them as farts.

As the car left the city, Aunt Wang kept staring at Lin Xiaoman with a smile. Aunt Erhua, Aunt Li, and Mrs. Qi took turns asking about the hot pot shop, "Xiao Man, we went to your hot pot shop today.

Why do you think business is so good? You must earn hundreds of cash in one day, right? There are so many rich people in the city!"

"How can it only be a few hundred taels of silver? That pot of chicken sells for 50 taels of silver, and there are vegetables. I heard that dozens of chickens can be sold a day, so you still have to earn more than a dozen taels of silver. Xiaoman, don't you think so?"

After being sprayed with spit on her face, Lin Xiaoman was not ready to fall out, but she didn't like listening to what they said. "It's all money to buy materials, hire people, and ingredients. They are all expensive, and there is nothing left."

Not much."

"Then I can't make less money. I watched Erlai's mother selling sour plum soup at the door of the store for two cents a bowl, one bowl at a time, one bowl at a time, and she never stopped, and she didn't even say to treat me to a drink.

A bowl."

"You still want her to treat you to a drink? That old lady is so proud that she doesn't even look at me seriously."

Lin Xiaoman thought to herself: The fourth grandma looked down upon these people and never looked at them seriously before.

But I couldn't say that, so I had to say: "Fourth grandma may be busy, and I really didn't see any of the aunts."

"Haha, Xiao Man, you don't have to cover up for her. That old woman is the most snobbish. Her eyes used to grow to the top of her head when she saw me. If you ask me, her son's leg injury is retribution."

Lin Xiaoman's face darkened when he heard this, "Aunt Li, what are you talking about? Why did my second uncle offend you? We are all related, are you so gloating about misfortune? What will happen to your family tomorrow?

, others say that you were punished for your bad words, do you like to hear it?"

Aunt Li seemed to have just realized that Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erlai's family had a good relationship, and she explained sarcastically, "I've always been quick to talk, and everyone in the village knows that. I don't have bad intentions. Why did you curse my family?"

"Who knows if you have bad intentions? Anyway, if something happens to your family one day, I won't take pleasure in it."

After saying that, Lin Xiaoman turned away and stopped talking to these women.

Several women murmured for a long time, and Aunt Erhua came out to smooth things over, "Xiao Man, don't pay attention to your Aunt Li. Her foul mouth has been annoying people since she was young."

Lin Xiaoman snorted, and Aunt Erhua changed the topic, or rather got to the point, "Xiaoman, I see that your family has hired a lot of people to work in the past few days. Some go to the city to help, and some help at home.

As a house builder, I just want to say, does your family need someone to make that hot pot base? I happen to have a few idle people at home, can I come to your house to help you?"

Lin Xiaoman looked her up and down, as if to say that her thoughts were so beautiful, but her words were quite euphemistic, "Aunt Erhua, it's not that I can't trust you, it's just that this secret recipe was left by my mother to me and Erhu.

, my third uncle didn’t even give it to him when he came to rob it, and we can’t invite outsiders to help at home.”

Aunt Erhua twisted her mouth and said, "Hey, my man's surname is also Lin. After all, he is also your uncle who has not yet released the fifth server. How can he be an outsider? Aren't you just worried that we will get your secret recipe and steal your business? You and I

Guarantee, why don’t we do that kind of immoral thing?”

Aunt Li, who had just been criticized by Lin Xiaoman, Aunt Wang, who had been unhappy before, and Mrs. Qi, who didn't talk much but kept her eyes rolling, all looked eager to persuade her.

Lin Xiaoman thought: Sure enough, people are divided into groups. Those who go shopping with her mother are Aunt Guihua, and those who go shopping with Aunt Wang are these people.

So, he said calmly: "I'm not afraid that Aunt Erhua will steal business. Let's just talk about pepper. My mother spent a lot of money to buy it from a foreign merchant, not to mention that there are more than 20 Chinese herbal medicines added to it.

And a lot of oil, one pot of ingredients costs dozens of taels of silver. If my aunt can get some hot peppers, make better ingredients than mine, and take away my family’s business, that’s what I can do.

I have to admire you."

Naturally, Aunt Erhua and the others have never heard of what pepper is, and they seemed to not understand what Lin Xiaoman said. They said to themselves: "I don't understand what you are talking about. I really don't want to steal your business, I just want to help you."

To work at home, as long as you have peppers at home, what should I do with that?"

Lin Xiaoman was speechless. He couldn't explain it to such a group of random people, and he regretted taking this car.

Just as she was about to let Handlebar stop the car and get out, Handlebar had already stopped the car and angrily yelled at the women in the car: "You are still an aunt and an elder, how can you bully children like this? Xiaoman's business is with the clan.

Did you do it? Are you trying to poach the Lin family from the idea of ​​​​her now? Huh, I will tell Uncle Youwang about this when I get back. I see that Uncle Youwang doesn't care about you. Get out of the car and my car will go to

I won’t drag any of you with me in the future.”

Several people had ugly faces and stayed in the car unwilling to get off. They rolled up their sleeves and tried to pull people over, "If you don't get off, don't blame me for telling the clan leader what you said today. What good things will happen to the clan in the future?"

Not even as much as you guys."

Upon hearing this, several women were a little scared. They got off the carriage one after another, and they all gave the handlebars and Lin Xiaoman a hard look.

Aunt Wang ridiculed: "Bashi, you are climbing a high branch, let's see what you can do! It's just a broken car like yours, as if no one wants to sit in it."

Handlebar Shi pouted his lips proudly, "Hey, I just climbed up a high branch, and I can't help but envy you! Xiaoman, sit down and let Uncle Shi take you back to the village."

After saying that, he flicked his riding crop, and the old horse started running with great force, raising a cloud of dust that choked the four women and covered their mouths.

Lin Xiaoman felt funny in his heart, "Uncle Ba Shi, you have offended them today, are you not afraid that they will spread rumors about you in the village?"

"Bah! Let them do it. Who doesn't know that they have such broken mouths that they can't speak as fast as farts, and they have to be believed by someone. If they dare to take advantage of your siblings again in the future, just tell Uncle Bashi,

Uncle Shi can't take care of them, so he goes to the clan leader to take care of them."
