The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 217 Trajectory

He peeled two and stuffed them into his mouth, not caring what the people around him thought of them, he just lay there.

Li Cuilian didn't want to care about them and felt that they were truly hopeless.

"Oh, by the way, have you heard? I heard that a ghost came out of the Shen family's courtyard in the middle of the night and specifically looked for people to take their lives!" Liu was talking to her son.

"Tsk, I don't believe it. Maybe they just made it up to scare the villagers so that they can become lawless." Liu Wei didn't take it seriously and picked up the fan next to him and fanned himself.

"Hey, don't say that. I saw Mo Xiaohai yesterday. His face was pale, like a ghost, and there were bloodstains on his body. He said that he was knocked down by a wild beast. Now he is shouting that there is a ghost from the Shen family looking for him to take his life. He is mentally ill. This is too scary." Liu was still worried.

"Look at how many bad things he has done over the years. Who can't tell me one or two? With his character, he becomes suspicious at the slightest sign of trouble. Who knows what he did that night? It would be strange if he wasn't scared. I think he has something to hide. He gets scared when others talk about it."

"No wonder. Do other people need to see this? It's just that Mrs. Mo is envious of Shen Yan. Who knows what she did in the middle of the night? Well, Shen Yan recently made some sweet soup. Everyone who drank it said it tasted good. What do you think? If we sell that, can we make money?"

"What are you thinking? I already know the recipe. It's just sugar mixed with water. The key to its delicious taste is the ice. We don't even have money to buy ice, but they have a noble person to help them. They spent several taels of silver just to buy ice. Who knows how they preserve it? It's so hot now, it will melt in a short time."

"Yes, that's the problem. You said that the ice wouldn't melt if it was placed in the ice cellar. How did he keep it for so long with so many soldiers? Can she guarantee that the ice transported in every day won't melt? She must be acting in front of everyone. I haven't heard that the Shen family has an ice cellar. She must have some background in the ice that she doesn't want to tell us."

"Then what do you think?"

"Go ahead if you want to. When I make money, I will definitely give you some."

Liu Wei grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into the hands of the two children. He looked at them and said, "Eat them. When Dad has money, I'll let you eat meat every day. Then we won't have to live this hard life anymore."

Guifang looked over and had just confronted Liu Wei. She knew what bad plan the mother and daughter were up to again.

"Why are you standing up? Hurry up and wash your dishes. Don't forget that you have clothes to wash later, otherwise you won't be able to eat tonight." Before Li Cui Lian could say anything, Liu Wei spoke back.

"No, no, I'll wash the dishes right away, and then I'll go cook."

"Why don't you do it quickly?" Liu scolded.

When Shen Yan woke up, she had a splitting headache.

Last night she couldn't fall asleep because of Wang Lin's problem. She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't find a comfortable sleeping position.

The sky was already bright, and the rising sun outside the window cast a faint morning light, but the room was still filled with darkness and silence.

Shen Yan slowly came to her senses and slowly stood up, her mind still a little fuzzy.

She got up to wash up, splashing some cold water on her face, trying to dispel the drowsy feeling.

It all seemed like a dream, and last night's anxiety and insomnia were still lingering in my mind.

Looking up, Wang Lin was playing with her dog Xiao Hei in the yard.

Shen Yan felt a little relieved. Wang Lin did what he promised her yesterday and he did it today as promised. He did not rush out again.

Usually at this time, Wang Lin might still be busy outside, but today she stayed quietly at home.

Shen Yan knew that although Wang Lin was young, he always listened to her.

The little girl's mind is sensitive and innocent, and only she, as an older sister, can truly influence and guide her behavior and choices.

She is fully aware that she plays an important role in Wang Lin's growth process, and this responsibility makes her feel extremely cherished and valued.

The sunlight in the yard gradually became brighter, the birds sang happily on the branches, and the day's life unfolded in peace and order.

What happened yesterday just reminded Shen Yan that Wang Lin was only thirteen or fourteen years old and already understood everything.

Shen Yan was always busy with business before and had no time to care for them. She was not too surprised about Wang Lin's affairs. After all, she had lived once.

Watching Wang Jun busying around, Shen Yan ordered a bowl of rice noodles and added an egg. There was also tofu frying in the pan. Shen Yan ordered another bowl of tofu, drizzled with red oil, and the aroma was everywhere.

Shen Yan was thinking about business while eating. If she opened a stall in the town, she couldn't just open a snail noodle stall, she would have to open a restaurant. After all, it would be August or September when she was done with the work, and it was almost the season for hot pot. So she couldn't just sell snail noodles, that would be too monotonous. If she started preparing materials and furniture now, she could finish it before October if she was busy. There was a large flow of people in the town, and people were coming and going. Shen Yan's stall already had a good reputation, and if she moved to the town, the result would be good no matter how you thought about it.

But Wang Jun has to work hard, as he still has to go to school and can only travel between the village and the town. But Wang Lin must move to the town because she must change the trajectory of Wang Lin's life in this life.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Shen Yan called Wang Lin into the house. Wang Lin looked very nervous, clutching her clothes tightly, and followed Shen Yan into the house.

Shen Yan sat in front of the dressing table, combing her hair quietly.

After all, it was too late last night, and Shen Yan did not comb her hair, but fell asleep, making her hair very difficult to comb. Wang Lin stood aside and looked at her nervously. She was ready for her to lose her temper.

But Shen Yan has now handed over the stall to someone else, and she no longer needs to go to the market, so Shen Yan was not in a hurry, but slowly combed her hair. After traveling here, her hair was not so smooth. After all, there was no shampoo or the like here, so Shen Yan could only rely on daily care to ensure the smoothness of her hair.

Seeing Shen Yan so calm, Wang Lin became even more nervous. Shen Yan looked back and said, "Come on, sit down on a stool." Shen Yan called Wang Lin. By the time Shen Yan had combed her hair, Wang Lin had been sitting there for a while.

"Wang Lin, you are already thirteen years old, not too young anymore. I will marry you next autumn at the latest. By then, there will be only the two of you left at home. Have you ever thought about the future?"

"But, but I just want to be with my brother and sister. Nothing else matters to me." Wang Lin stood up suddenly and said impulsively. She really cared about his family.
