Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 197 A Lucky Getaway

Just then, someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard.

Lin Qingshan was startled.

He hurriedly gathered all the purple ginseng and put it in his room.

Lu Qingqing opened the door and saw...

It turned out that Lin Erzhu was carrying a large bag of things.

"Second brother, why don't you just go inside?"

We thought someone else had come!

Lin Erzhu, however, disagreed and said,

"Qingqing, quickly help me pull the oxcart."

I brought you some good things.

Lu Qingqing led the oxcart, following behind Lin Erzhu.

He asked in confusion,

"Second brother, why are you being so mysterious?"

What kind of good stuff is it?

Lin Erzhu said mysteriously,

"Qingqing, you'll find out soon enough."

After saying that, Lin Erzhu quickly walked into the courtyard.

Put that big bag on the ground.

Then he turned around and went to untie the bundles on the oxcart.

The others heard the commotion in the yard.

They all gathered around as well.

Lin Qingshan asked, puzzled:

"Second brother, what did you buy?"

Lin Erzhu saw Lin Qingshan coming over.

He said with a smile,

"Dad, please help me unload these packages from the truck."

Lin Qingshan hurriedly stepped forward,

Together with Lin Erzhu, they unloaded several large bundles from the oxcart.

Second brother, what are all these?

It feels like cloth to me.

Lin Erzhu put down what he was holding.

Only then did they reveal a secret to everyone.

The group of people all looked towards the bundle at the same time.

First, a surge of joy,

Then they both wore an enigmatic expression.

Wang Xiuxiu stepped forward and rummaged through the fabric in the bundle.

He asked, puzzled:

"Honey, what kind of fabric did you buy?"

Could it be that someone scammed me?

Lin Erzhu said with a smile:

"Xiuxiu, you just don't understand."

"Dad, Qingqing, you two come and touch it too."

Lin Qingshan and Lu Qingqing also stepped forward and touched the contents of the bundle.

Lu Qingqing immediately understood.

She watched Lin Qingshan without showing any emotion.

Lin Qingshan frowned slightly.

His eyes were full of doubt and confusion.

"Two pillars,"

Where did you find these things?

This piece of cloth looks somewhat similar to the oilcloth I made.

But in other parts it's the same as ordinary cloth.

"Tell your father what happened."

Lin Erzhu smiled smugly and said:

"father,

Didn't I take some kids to town today?

After seeing Shi Tou and the others off, I went to see Da Ya and Er Ya off as well.

As soon as I dropped them off inside, I heard someone shouting.

"Shopkeeper, please have mercy!"

Please take these fabrics from me.

I'll give you a discount.

Oh dear, you saw it too.

This is an embroidery shop, not a fabric store.

This is a place where girls learn needlework.

They use finer materials.

Look at this material you've put on; it's so thick and doesn't breathe at all.

We really can't use it.

Why don't you try asking at other fabric shops?

"Maybe it can be sold."

To be honest,

I've been to all the cloth shops in this town.

Nobody will buy my cloth.

Boss lady, please have pity on me!

My elderly father is sick.

I really have nowhere else to turn.

Out of curiosity, Lin Erzhu went forward to take a look.

It was discovered that the fabric was indeed of poor quality.

"Honestly, you've ruined this fabric!"

There are pieces on it.

Their embroidery workshop makes exquisite things.

"If you insist on making someone accept it, aren't you putting them in a difficult position?"

After Lin Erzhu finished speaking, the man in front of him took a step back.

His eyes were filled with tears and despair, and he murmured to himself:

"It's my fault, it's all my fault."

If it weren't for my momentary carelessness,

How could tung oil possibly get onto the cloth?

All of my father's hard work has been wasted.

How could Father suddenly fall ill and never recover?

There is no cure.

Good heavens!

If you want to punish someone, just punish me.

When Lin Erzhu heard what the man said,

A wave of sympathy welled up in my heart.

He picked up the fabric again and examined it closely.

They discovered that the lumpy substances were indeed traces of tung oil.

He tugged at it and found that the fabric was quite sturdy.

He then asked the proprietress for some water.

A few drops were dripped onto the oil-soaked fabric.

Surprisingly, the water droplets were rolling around on the fabric.

It really does have a waterproof effect.

Lin Erzhu was overjoyed.

He realized that the seemingly flawed fabric,

It is actually a rare and excellent material.

He looked at the man with a worried face and said:

"Brother, you just said your father is sick."

Fortunately, my sister-in-law is a good doctor.

"Perhaps this can save your father,"

The man's eyes were full of doubt.

"Brother, you are such a kind person."

If your family can cure my father...

Once my father recovers,

My son and I will certainly make some fine cloth to send to you.

Lin Erzhu waved his hand and said,

"That won't be so complicated. How about this?"

Give me a discount on these fabrics.

I'll take it for you.

The man's eyes were full of gratitude.

"Big brother,"

I sold these bolts of cloth to pay for my father's medical treatment.

As long as it can make my father better.

These fabrics are all for you.

Lin Erzhu hurriedly declined.

"Brother, this is unacceptable."

Although I also want to help you,

But doing business is all about fairness.

I'll give you money, you give me cloth.

This way, everyone can feel at ease.

I only have these two taels of silver on me today.

You can take this first. I live in Linjia Village.

Where do you live?

The man took the silver.

He carefully tucked it into his bosom.

He said with tears of gratitude:

"Brother, you are such a kind person."

My home is in Liujia Village, which isn't far from yours.

My father is currently in a coma.

I'm afraid we won't be able to provide in-home treatment!

The man glanced at Lin Erzhu sheepishly.

"Brother, could you please ask your family to come over?"

Consider this two taels of silver as consultation fee.

As he spoke, he handed the two taels of silver back to Lin Erzhu.

Lin Erzhu waved his hand and said,

"Keep this silver for yourself, how about this?"

I'll go home first and tell my brother and sister-in-law.

"We'll come to your house to find you after we've discussed it."

The man was moved to tears.

"Brother, you have the heart of a bodhisattva."

Our family is the first household at the entrance of Liujia Village.

There is a big locust tree at the entrance.

You'll find out once you get there and ask around.

My name is Li San, and my father's illness...

We're counting on your family.

"The three Li brothers,"

Don't worry, go back and take care of your father first.

I'll go home right now and discuss it with my younger brother and sister-in-law.

After Li San left,

Lin Erzhu also hurriedly loaded the cloth onto the oxcart.

He rushed back to Linjia Village in a great hurry.

Lin Erzhu told Lin Qingshan the whole story.

Lu Qingqing and Wang Xiuxiu.

After listening, Lin Qingshan murmured:

"Erzhu, there's such a thing?"

As he spoke, he touched the fabric again.

"This material is indeed of good quality."

If it weren't for the tung oil soaking on top...

It can really fetch a good price.

You're really lucky, kid.

We just happened to be making oilcloth as well.

This is exactly the kind of fabric I need.

You got a good deal by sheer luck.

Lu Qingqing asked worriedly:

"Second brother,"

Did he mention anything about his father's situation?

If it's due to anger and frustration...

We need to get there quickly; saving lives is the most important thing.

Lin Erzhu shook his head, his face full of worry, and said:

"Qingqing, he didn't explain in detail."

They only said that his father remained unconscious.
