Chapter 268 Lin Jingce rescues people
The business in Fuzhou had almost stabilized, so Shen Wanning only stayed in Fuzhou for three days before returning to the village.
Compared to Fuzhou and the county town, she still prefers living with her family. Now that she doesn't need to worry about the milk tea shop and Zui Hongzhuang, she can relax and think more about the future.
After returning to Daqing Village, Shen Wanning was excited and wanted to share the good news that Zui Hongzhuang was making money with everyone.
Before dinner was even served, Shen Wanning saw Aunt Zhang collecting clothes in the yard. She happily ran over to her and said, "Mom, I've been looking at the account books of the Fuzhou shop these days. Can you guess how much I made last month?"
Aunt Zhang hugged the clothes and shook her head with a smile. "How could I guess that? But seeing how happy you look, you must have made a lot of money, right? About a thousand taels?"
Looking at her expression, you can tell that she must earn more than the milk tea shop, otherwise Shen Wanning wouldn't be so happy and come to ask her specifically.
"Mom, it's more than that! The rouge shop in Fuzhou earned more than ten thousand taels of silver last month!" Shen Wanning whispered in Aunt Zhang's ear.
Aunt Zhang was stunned and the clothes in her hands fell to the ground.
Shen Wanning quickly squatted down and picked up the clothes. "Oh, Mom, the clothes fell to the ground. I should have told you later."
"Wan Ning, what did you just say? You earned more than ten thousand taels of silver in a month?" Aunt Zhang asked eagerly, pulling Shen Wan Ning's hand.
Shen Wanning nodded. "Yes, I made over ten thousand taels in a month. But the turnover has obviously dropped in the past few days. I guess I may not make as much in the future. But I can make at least over three thousand taels a month!"
"Oh my god, if that's the case, then the rouge shop earns more in a month than the milk tea shop earns in a year? I used to think a few dozen taels was a lot, but I didn't expect to see tens of thousands of taels now." Aunt Zhang still looked shocked and muttered to herself.
"Yes, mother, I told you that our lives will get better and better. If you want to buy something in the future, don't save money and buy whatever you want. Gold bracelets, jade bracelets, as long as you like it, I will buy it for you." Shen Wanning said happily.
"Child, you can't spend money carelessly even if you have it! There will be many places to spend money in the future! You should save the money and keep it as a dowry. When the third brother goes to the capital to report on his work in the future, you will definitely have to go with him. The expenses in the capital are high, and you can keep this money to support yourself." Aunt Zhang said earnestly.
"I know, Mom. I have plenty of money on me. Don't I still have 10,000 taels of silver as franchise fee for the milk tea shop? Adding up all the silver, I have more than 20,000 taels of silver on me!" Shen Wanning followed Aunt Zhang into the house, holding her clothes.
"Mother knows, but there are many wealthy families in the capital. Mother is worried that you won't have enough money when you go to the capital in the future. You have already given a lot of money to the eldest and second sons. You should keep all the money earned from the rouge shop for yourself and don't share it with us." Aunt Zhang took the clothes from Shen Wanning's hand, spread them on the bed, and began to fold them.
"My eldest and second brothers have helped with business matters, so it's only right that we share some money with them. A family should have a good life for everyone." Shen Wanning didn't care how much money it was.
There were no entertainment activities in ancient times, and even if money was spent, it was usually on jewelry. But she was not too interested in these things, as long as she was comfortable in her clothes.
Aunt Zhang took Shen Wanning's hand and asked her to sit next to her. "Even if we are a family, we can't do everything equally. Mother knows that you are a good child with a kind heart. But this is the money you earned. As for helping, the eldest and second oldest brothers didn't help much. If they weren't your eldest and second oldest brothers, these jobs could be done by just two people, and it wouldn't cost so much money. Just keep this money and listen to me, dear."
Shen Wanning thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, I'll listen to Mom. But if Big Brother, Second Brother, or Mom and Dad need money, remember to tell me. Don't hesitate."
"Okay, Mom knows." Aunt Zhang smiled and patted Shen Wanning's hand.
The two were still sitting in the room when they heard Lin Jingce's voice coming from outside the door, "Dad, Mom, come and take a look, someone has fainted in our tea tree forest."
Shen Wanning and Aunt Zhang both stood up at the same time, walked into the yard, and found that Lin Jingce was carrying a thin man on his back.
"Hurry, send it to the guest room first. Boss, you drive the carriage to the town to call a doctor." Aunt Zhang said.
After saying that, Aunt Zhang and Shen Wanning walked into the guest room at the same time, opened the door, and Lin Jingce carried the man in and put him on the bed.
Lin Jingce didn't even look at the person on the bed, and hurried to the backyard to drive the carriage.
Shen Wanning took a closer look and frowned slightly. This man looked too handsome. Looking down, she found that he didn't even have an Adam's apple.
Before she could say anything, Aunt Zhang had already reached out her hand to the man's chest and said, "She's really a girl. I think she's so pretty, not like a man."
"Mom, wait for my brother to call the doctor and check the girl's injuries first. After she wakes up, ask about her condition!" Shen Wanning said.
"This is the only way now. When I see her, I feel like I'm seeing you back then. You were also dressed strangely, unconscious, and were carried back by the second brother." Looking at the little girl lying on the bed, Aunt Zhang recalled the scene when Shen Wanning first came to the Lin family last year.
"Yes, so I have always been grateful to my second brother for saving me and my mother for taking me in, which is why I can live the life I have today." Shen Wanning sighed.
"Well, if I have to thank you, it's Wan Ning for doing so much for our family. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the good life we have now." Aunt Zhang chuckled again, "We're a family now, why are we still saying these words of thanks?"
"Yes, mother, you're right. We shouldn't be so polite. Mother, let me get a basin of water and wipe this girl's face. Her face is dirty, and so are her clothes. They're all covered in dust. When she wakes up, I'll get her some new clothes. She's about the same size as me, so she should be able to wear my clothes."
"Okay, then you go first, I'll stay here to look after her." After Aunt Zhang said that, she took a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the little girl.
After a while, Shen Wanning brought a basin of water and placed it on the washstand. She wet a towel, wrung out the water, and wiped the little girl's face.
Looking at it this way, the little girl is quite pretty, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a chubby little face, which looks very cute.
"Mom, the doctor is here." Lin Jingce brought the doctor in and said.
