Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 238 Pregnant Han Ruoshui

Lin Xiao glanced at everyone, pondered for a while, and then said slowly:

"The imperial decree has been issued, and our brother's workshop has become the private property of the royal family."

As soon as Lin Xiao's voice fell, the villagers couldn't wait to discuss it.

"Private property of the royal family? What does that mean?"

"Does that mean we can't sell salt in the future?"

"Oh, what should I do? The flood has washed away the crops, and we have to make a living by selling salt!"

"That's right! Xiao Linzi, think about something quickly, how can we live in the future!"

"What can he do? Can he, a commoner, fight against the court?"

A cold voice came, and when the villagers saw this person, they made way out of their own accord.

The person who came was the village head of Linjia Village and his wife Ma Guihua!
The village chief walked towards Lin Xiao with a gloomy face, while Ma Guihua at the side kept winking at Lin Xiao.

Ma Guihua knew that ordinary people could not fight against the imperial court, but she still hoped that Lin Xiao's extremely clever head could come up with a good way to get the best of both worlds!
"Ahem, everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

Lin Xiao coughed lightly, interrupting the discussion among the villagers.

Seeing that everyone gradually quieted down, Lin Xiaocai continued:
"Your Majesty means that from today onwards, our brother's workshop will become the emperor's private property. Although we can't sell salt privately, we can go to the brother's workshop to work and earn wages!"

When Lin Xiao said this, his eyes turned around on everyone, and he continued:

"I can assure you that the money you earn from working is definitely more than you earn from selling salt in the streets!"

When the villagers heard the words, their eyes lit up immediately, and they began to discuss.

"Yes, this is a lucrative job. If we can do well, our village will definitely develop in the future!"

"Yeah, you can't actually sell much in the streets and alleys. It's better to go to the brother's workshop to work."

"Xiao Linzi, your method is really good!"

Seeing that everyone was full of praise for his plan, Lin Xiao couldn't help showing a smile.

It's just that the smile froze quickly.

Because she noticed that the village head's face became more gloomy.

As the head of a village, it is impossible for him to humble himself and work with the villagers in the brothers' workshop.

Moreover, his sales line for selling salt has matured, so it is really not reconciled to let others hand it over like this!
"Village Chief, shall we talk further?"

Lin Xiao stepped forward and flattered the village chief.

"Okay, I want to hear what fallacies you can say!"

The village chief said in a strange way.

Seeing the village head's haughty look, Lin Xiao felt a little disgusted in his heart.

But she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she was full of flattering smiles:

"I know that you, the village chief, have already set up the sales line, and you are reluctant to let go, but the emperor has an order, and we have to obey it, so..."

Having said that, Lin Xiao paused, and then continued:

"So you can do other jobs for quick cash."

"What kind of work?"

"Mouth cream and soap."

When the village chief heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted angrily:
"Those are things from a daughter's house, how dare you ask me to make things from a woman's house?"

"No, village chief, am I here to help you solve your problems?"

Lin Xiao said bitterly.

"Sharing my worries and solving my problems? Are you sharing my worries for me, or are you trying to make my old man happy?"

The village chief snorted coldly and said sarcastically:
"I tell you, I will never touch those women's things in my life!"

"They come in faster than selling salt!"

Hearing that money came in faster than selling salt, the village chief's eyes lit up and he immediately asked:

"How fast?"

"Village Chief, don't worry!"

Lin Xiao quickly explained:
"Listen to me to explain to you slowly."

Seeing that the village chief was finally willing to sit down, Lin Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.

"The lip balm and soap I made before are already selling like crazy in the capital. As long as you make one, you will pay ten cents. How about it? Is this money coming in much faster than selling salt?"

"Will you give ten pennies for one?"

The village chief looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief. He didn't expect that things from this woman's house could be sold for so much money.

"Yes, for ten coins, you can also work as a supervisor in Brother's Workshop. This is also paid for. In short, life will definitely be better than before!"

"Hahaha... Good boy, I really didn't misread you, your brain is really not covered!"

Hearing this, the village chief laughed out loud and gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao hurriedly smiled and said modestly:
"Village Chief, you are overrated. You are the real wise man. I can't compare with you."

The village head was so flattered by the praise, he stroked his beard:
"Okay, you should hurry home too! You'd be too hearty to leave a pregnant woman alone at home!"

"What? If there is water?"

Lin Xiao cried out in surprise when he heard the words.

"You kid is too ignorant, if Ruoshui is pregnant with your child, you don't even know it!"

"I"

Lin Xiao was speechless.

The village head glanced at Lin Xiao, waved his hand, and said:

"Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore, you should go back quickly!"

Lin Xiao nodded, turned around and let Mazi take him home.

The village chief looked at Lin Xiao's back and sighed.

How does this kid's brain feel its ups and downs?
The location of Lin Xiao's house is still on the former site of Wang Le's house.

The brand-new gray tiles, white walls, gatehouse, and yard all made Lin Xiao feel extra comfortable!

The courtyard door was not locked, Lin Xiao couldn't wait to push the door open and enter.

Han Ruoshui was lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard, eyes closed with a tired face.

Her lower abdomen bulged slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, making her look very delicate.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Han Ruoshui slowly opened his eyes.

"When, the head of the house!"

The moment he saw Lin Xiao, Han Ruoshui stood up quickly, with a look of excitement on his face.

"Your belly..."

Lin Xiao pointed to Han Ruoshui's slightly protruding belly and said in surprise.

Han Ruoshui covered his stomach, with a bitter look on his face, he turned and entered the room without answering.

Lan Lian looked unbelievable when she saw this scene, but she didn't lose her composure like Lin Xiao.

She put down her luggage, plunged into the kitchen, and started cooking for Han Ruoshui.

Lin Xiao followed Han Ruoshui into the back room. She closed the door, looked at Han Ruoshui, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Ruoshui, let me ask you, the child in your belly."

Hearing Lin Xiao's question, Han Ruoshui's body trembled suddenly.

A look of pain appeared on her face, she gritted her teeth and said:

"The child... belongs to the Seventh Prince."

In other words, when Li Yuxuan let those damned guys torture Han Ruoshui, she was already pregnant with Li Yuxuan's child!
What an irony!

Thinking of what Li Yuxuan did to Han Ruoshui, Lin Xiao couldn't contain his anger!
When she left Beijing, Li Yuxuan was still serving as his Seventh Prince, and he was not punished at all!

It's so unfair! !
