Transmigrated from a post-apocalyptic world to become a village bully and set up a stall in ancient

Chapter 369 Auntie, are you going to separate the family property?

Lin Xi had just brought the vegetables back to the kitchen when he saw Hei Yi standing in front of him, chuckling.

Lin Xi raised an eyebrow, took out a money pouch from her person, took out ten taels of silver and tossed it to Hei Yi, "Well done! Here's a bonus for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, heads popped out from all directions of the restaurant, staring intently at the silver in Hei Yi's hand.

Hei Yi had just caught the silver and hadn't even had a chance to put it in his pocket when the heads around him crowded even closer.

The other few dark-skinned people stared intently at the silver ingot, even lowering their breathing slightly.

Black Second's bodyguard couldn't help but swallow hard, muttering under his breath, "Brother Black First, this bonus is too much! Everyone who sees it gets a share, let's use it for drinks!"

No sooner had Hei Er finished speaking than Hei San emerged from behind a pillar, shouting, "That's right! So much silver, hurry up and divide it up!"

The four thugs were ruthless and didn't talk much. They were all action-oriented. They grabbed the silver, leaped into the air, and ran away!

"Stop! My money!"

Hei Yi panicked and immediately flew off to give chase, while the other dark figures all disappeared in a flash.

Lin Xi stood in the backyard, her eyelids twitching, and shouted into the empty backyard with her hands on her hips, "No, you guys come back and get back to work! What are you running around for?!"

Ugh, I have to make breakfast myself again!

Only Lin Xi's shouts echoed in the backyard; not even a shadow remained.

"Xixi, I'm hungry."

Just then, Gao Mengli's voice came from the front yard, and Lin Xi quickly responded.

He immediately went into the kitchen and started cooking.

The fragrant green vegetables were served.

Most of the dishes on this table were simply boiled.

Gao Mengli raised an eyebrow, picked up her chopsticks, and put a piece of green vegetable into her mouth.

The greens are crisp and tender, with a fresh sweetness from being picked, and not bitter at all.

Gao Mengli chewed twice, a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then picked up a piece of cucumber salad.

The cucumbers are smashed loosely, coated with minced garlic and balsamic vinegar, and when you bite into them, they make a crunchy sound. The sour and spicy flavor is appetizing and relieves most of the summer heat.

She picked up a halved cherry tomato, and the juice burst in her mouth. The sweet and sour taste perfectly balanced the spiciness of the minced garlic, making for a very refreshing flavor.

While serving Gao Mengli some food, Lin Xi explained, "Mengli, the best way to taste the original flavor of vegetables is to keep them fresh. I thought the vegetables looked good, so I blanched them all."

If possible, we can go to this village and take a look. We can buy vegetables, land, and hire people there.

Gao Mengli nodded with sparkling eyes, "Xixi, you and I are thinking the same thing!"

I was thinking that if possible, we could buy groceries from this lady in the future!

I noticed she seemed efficient and capable, so I figured her family must be well-off. Hiring them to look after the lease expires would be a great option.

Lin Xi slammed her hand on the table, her eyes full of approval.

"you do not say!

The auntie grows vegetables well and is a very honest person.

By ordering from her regularly, we can guarantee the freshness of our ingredients and save on the middleman's markup.

Lin Xi picked up a small tomato and put it in her mouth, then added, "If we can really buy the land, we can get the aunt's family to help manage it."

"Grow some seasonal vegetables and fruits, and our restaurant can pick them directly from the field. It's fresh, safe, and our customers will feel more at ease eating there."

Gao Mengli smiled and nodded, tapping the table lightly with her fingertips: "Then it's settled. When that aunt comes tomorrow, we'll go to her house with her and make some plans."

The next day.

Lin Xi stood outside the restaurant, tiptoeing and peering in, frowning and muttering, "What's going on? It's almost noon, why hasn't that auntie arrived yet?"

Just as they were muttering to themselves, they saw a figure swaying as it approached from a distance; it was the vegetable-selling auntie.

She arrived at her usual spot where she sold vegetables, and as soon as she put down her basket, a pair of feet appeared in her line of sight.

She quickly laid out the dishes, saying, "I'm so sorry, something came up at home, so I'm late today..."

When she looked up, she saw Lin Xi staring at her in surprise.

"Hey, auntie, what's wrong with your face?"

The woman subconsciously touched her cheek, her fingertips brushing against a red, swollen patch, and her eyes instantly dimmed.

She hurriedly lowered her head and continued setting the table, her voice also lowered: "N-nothing, I just accidentally bumped into the door frame this morning."

But the shape of the red swelling was clearly a slap mark, with some bluish-purple edges. It didn't look like a collision at all.

Lin Xi frowned, squatted down, and asked softly, "Auntie, is something wrong at home?"

The woman paused, tears welling up in her eyes. She sniffed and finally couldn't help but speak: "It's...it's a family dispute over dividing the property."

My father-in-law wanted to marry my daughter off to a lame bachelor in the next village as a concubine, in exchange for dowry to pay for my uncle's son's education. I disagreed, and my sister-in-law and I got into a fight..."

Gao Mengli arrived unnoticed, holding a clean handkerchief in her hand, and gently handed it to the aunt.

She bent down and put the bunches of vegetables she had laid out back into her basket. "Auntie, don't sell the vegetables yet. Let's go inside and talk. We also have something to tell you."

The woman clutched her handkerchief, tears streaming down her face, but she still shook her head: "No, young lady, these vegetables have to be sold to get money. My wife is pregnant and needs to buy meat to nourish her body..."

Gao Mengli pressed down on her hand, which was about to pick up the basket, and shook her head. "You go into the store first."

After saying that, Gao Mengli gestured for Lin Xi to pick up the basket.

"This……"

The woman hesitated for a moment, but since her basket had already been taken, she had no choice but to follow Gao Mengli into the shop.

Sitting on a bench in the lobby, Gao Mengli poured her a cup of tea and pushed it towards her, saying, "Auntie, our restaurant would like to buy your dishes in the future, but... I have a condition."

The woman's hand, which had just picked up the teacup, froze in mid-air, and a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes. "Young... young lady, just say the word. As long as I can do it, I'll do whatever it takes!"

Although that's what she said, she was still very nervous and afraid that it might be some difficult request.

After all, they need a stable way to sell vegetables right now.

Otherwise, what would happen to his wife's frail body...?

Gao Mengli gently patted the aunt's hand, "I only heard a few words from you just now, and I don't know anything about your family's situation."

We don't want endless trouble afterward. If you want to work with us, I hope you can handle your own affairs well.

You're a smart person; I think you know what I mean.

"That's right, if you have any awful family members, you should separate from them as soon as possible, so they don't drag you down!"

Lin Xi nodded in agreement.

In Wangyue Village, he and Mengli didn't have this kind of trouble, after all, they were the best of the best!

When his father divided the family property, he only separated the eldest branch of the family!

Thinking about this, he felt a little guilty and ashamed!

"But... if we divide the family property, I'm afraid our second branch won't get much..."

The woman's voice grew softer and softer, her fingers unconsciously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.

She has two sons and a daughter. Her eldest son is married, and she has a pregnant daughter-in-law.

If we split up, how will this whole family survive...?
