Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 377 Rotten sugarcane is nothing but dregs!

"What's a pity?" Lin Chang'er asked.

Liu Zi said, "It's a pity that later, the Prince of Beizhen became too powerful and the emperor became suspicious. The princess was sent back to the capital as a hostage. From then on, he was cautious in his words and deeds and could never go back to the flamboyant and bright days of the past."

"Later, she lost the little princess, and the Princess of Beizhen almost couldn't survive."

Lin Chang'er frowned again. "Logically speaking, although she is being sent back to the capital as a hostage, my aunt's family is also in the capital. They can help her to some extent. How could they possibly lose the little princess?"

Liu Zi sighed again, "I don't know either. We only heard about those things from the elders. But there is one thing I do know."

Lin Chang'er raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

Liu Zi said, "Our master didn't choose Ninghai County for his posting without reason. It was because the princess found some clues that the rival who stole the little princess back then took her all the way south, and the last place they appeared was Ninghai County."

"That's why the princess had Uncle Pei and the others open a restaurant in town, settling down there to slowly search for the whereabouts of the little princess."

"Unfortunately, there weren't many clues to begin with, and too much time has passed, so there hasn't been any substantial progress."

Lin Chang'er hated kidnappers the most, and the Princess of Beizhen suited her taste, so she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. However, she still comforted Liu Zi, saying, "The Prince of Beizhen has guarded the northern border for generations and protected the peace of our dynasty. His merits will last for generations. Good people will be rewarded."

Liu Zi nodded in agreement. "Good people should be rewarded, and rotten sugarcane should also be punished!"

Lin Chang'er tilted her head, "Rotten sugarcane?"

At this moment, the carriage curtain was lifted, and Gu Xiaoman and Zhou Yi's little heads popped out from inside. "Auntie, what rotten sugarcane is this?"

"We didn't bring any sugarcane today!"

Lin Chang'er laughed heartily, and Liu Zi said, "Rotten sugarcane is just dregs!"

Lin Chang'er laughed even harder, "Top-level understanding, atmosphere."

Gu Xiaoman and Zhou Yi were completely confused. They looked at each other, then scratched their little tufts of hair and asked, "What's a 'scumbag' anyway?"

Lin Chang'er almost burst out laughing, but she managed to hold it in and explained, "Once you finish eating the sugarcane, all that's left is the residue."

Gu Xiaoman said "Oh, oh" twice, "The rest are all bad stuff!"

Lin Chang'er was about to give him a thumbs up when she saw him tilt his head and say, "But Auntie, the residue left over from pressing sugarcane can still be used to start a fire, it's still useful!"

Zhou Yi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it's useful."

Lin Chang'er was stunned for a moment, then a thought flashed through her mind, and she laughed, "Only bad luck needs to be burned to get rid of bad luck!"

Gu Xiaoman and Zhou Yi exchanged a glance, and immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, bad luck!"

Lin Chang'er teased the child a few more times before arriving at Yunlai Restaurant.

After talking with the owner for a while and agreeing on the delivery volume for the next few days, he prepared to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, Boss Zhu caught up with her again and handed her a red envelope. "I only heard from my uncle yesterday that you were celebrating your housewarming. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't be so polite."

Lin Chang'er originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing this, she had no choice but to accept it. She thought she would make a note of it in the gift book when she got back, so that she could repay this favor when the Zhu family held an important event later.

"Mr. Zhu, you're too kind. I originally wanted to deliver an invitation to you, but my assistant told me you were away on a business trip, so I thought I wouldn't bother you..."

"Hey..." Boss Zhu frowned slightly, "How can you say it's an inconvenience for such a joyous occasion!"

"It was just a lucky coincidence. Otherwise, even if Mr. Lin hadn't invited me, I would have gone to his door to ask for a drink."

Lin Chang'er laughed heartily, "No problem, no problem. When our primary school's new house is completed, Boss Zhu will definitely come for a drink. I'll consider this red envelope as a donation to our primary school."

"This..." Boss Zhu was stunned. He thought to himself, "This young woman really has a broad mind." He also regretted that he should have given her more. After all, she was doing a good deed!

Their uncle's name is now engraved on a stone tablet in front of the River God Temple, where he receives offerings from the world.

It is said that all those good things were initiated by Boss Lin. In the past few months, the brown sugar business has also made him quite a bit of money. His uncle said that this Boss Lin often has new ideas, and following her, you don't have to worry about not making money.

However, the more they earn, the more they donate. In this flood alone, each family donated a lot, and they also gained a good reputation!

Money? You can earn it back, so you won't lose!

Boss Zhu hardened his heart and said, "Boss Lin, this is so embarrassing for me. This red envelope is a gift for your housewarming. As for the primary school, let me think about what to donate."

Lin Chang'er smiled, "In that case, I will thank Boss Zhu on behalf of the children of the primary school."

Boss Zhu said, "We businessmen rely entirely on the support of the people of the prefecture and county. I'm just giving back to the people!"

Lin Chang'er, having received a good deal, was not stingy and replied, "With such a magnanimous spirit, Boss Zhu will surely have abundant wealth in the future."

Mr. Zhu followed up, saying, "Haha, thank you for your kind words. If you have any new ideas in the future, I hope you will give me your guidance."

With things said to this extent, Lin Chang'er understood everything.

They must have made money from the brown sugar business, which is why they asked her for ideas again.

However, she originally had so many projects that she couldn't manage them all by herself, so she needed to distribute some of them.

After working together for a while, he doesn't seem to have many ulterior motives. Lin Chang'er nodded, "No problem. If there's a suitable one, I definitely won't forget Boss Zhu."

Mr. Zhu smiled broadly and said, "It's not just about business matters. If other things require our merchants' efforts, Mr. Lin can also lend a hand. Although I don't have the same strength as Uncle, I will certainly do my best."

Doing charity? That's great! Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "I'll talk to Uncle Zhu later and ask him to help me decide. I'll let you know then. Of course, it's already commendable that Boss Zhu has this intention. We don't need to get involved in everything. Just choose a few suitable ones. After all, everyone has a family to support!"

Boss Zhu agreed wholeheartedly. After exchanging pleasantries with Lin Chang'er for a while, he personally saw her off at the door, where a shop assistant was already waiting with a gift box.

Boss Zhu readily accepted the gift and personally delivered it to the carriage. "These are some snacks for the children, and there are also two bolts of moonlight yarn, which are soft and suitable for children to wear. Boss Lin, you must accept them."

Lin Chang'er naturally wanted to decline, but Boss Zhu put the gift box on the carriage and left without lingering for a moment.

Lin Chang'er had no choice but to accept the gifts for now, thinking that she would be going to Su County tomorrow and would bring some gifts back as well.

Because the matter of the troublemakers from Caijia Village had not yet been resolved, Lin Chang'er only took a few children for a short while after leaving Yunlai Restaurant before returning home.

Unexpectedly, when they tried to return, they were stopped outside the village...
