After that, Liang Yu began to consult Lin Xiaoyue about transforming the tea garden into a resort.
Lin Xiaoyue told Liang Yu everything she knew. She compared the situation of some holiday villages before the apocalypse of the 21st century and told Liang Yu after consolidating them.
Liang Yu was amazed when he heard this. He kept instructing the person who took the notes to write the contents clearly.
The two of them discussed until noon.
It was only when a servant came to the study to report that Liu Shi had returned and was looking for Ms. Lin that Liang Yu ended the conversation with Lin Xiaoyue.
“It’s getting late. Let’s continue after lunch.” Liang Yu stood up and said.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Liang Yu.
“I’ve said almost everything I thought of.”
She had been talking for almost three hours and had said almost everything she needed to say. Her throat was dry, so there was no need to continue.
Liang Yu’s expression stiffened, and then it became a little awkward.
“How about this, that’s all for now. If you encounter any trouble during the operation, you can come and ask me again.” Lin Xiaoyue added.
“Alright.” Liang Yu finally agreed.
“Please.” Then, he invited Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao out.
Lin Xiaoyue only heaved a sigh of relief when she parted ways with Liang Yu.
“Young Master Liang’s money isn’t that easy to earn…” She suspected that if she hadn’t said the last sentence in the study just now, he would have made her stay until the afternoon.
Li Xiao smiled and glanced at his wife.
“1,000 taels of silver. If you were to pay this amount of money, 1 reckon you wouldn’t let him go.”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “That’s true.”
Then, she reached out and held Li Xiao’s arm.
“Let’s go see mother.”
“Yes.”
Seeing Liu Shi, Lin Xiaoyue realized that Liu Shi and the others had already picked a lot of tea leaves. Moreover, they were going to continue in the afternoon.
Lin Xiaoyue accepted Liu Shi’s invitation. She agreed to go to the fields to pick tea leaves with Liu Shi in the afternoon.
Two days passed quickly.
After Xiao Qing finished the capital examination, the Liu family bid farewell to Liang Yu and returned to Qingshi Town.
After learning that Xiao Qing had performed well, Liu Shi was all smiles on her way back.
Half a day later, the group returned to the Liu residence.
As soon as they returned, Zhao Shanshan came to welcome them.
She asked Lin Xiaoyue to go to the side.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue found out about Lin Yuanshan.
It turned out that Lin Yuanshan did not listen to her warning that day and went to Qingshi Town to get drunk again.
In the end, he was dealt by the people arranged by Li Jie.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuanshan was injured this time and the family had no money to treat him.
The two elders of the Lin family were still begging their sons to think of a way.
“Their sons ignored them. In the end, the old lady of the Lin family went to ask for the 50 taels of silver that she gave him from her fourth son.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Zhao Shanshan in confusion.
The old lady had spent a sum of money on Lin Yuanshan’s leg, and she even gave Fourth Uncle Lin 50 taels? The Lin family was much wealthier than she had imagined.
Zhao Shanshan did not understand Lin Xiaoyue’s gaze and continued, “these words have stirred up a hornet’s nest.”
“Now, the sons are making a fuss and ask Fourth Uncle Lin to hand over the silver. They would either split it equally among themselves or give it to Lin Yuanshan to treat his leg.” In short, this money could not be given to the Fourth Uncle Lin alone. If the others couldn’t get a share, he also couldn’t take it.
“Fourth Uncle Lin and his wife were forced into a corner, and in the end, he relented and told them where the money came from.” At this point, Zhao Shanshan looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes flickered.
“Where did it come from?” She could faintly sense something unusual.
Zhao Shanshan looked conflicted.
She leaned closer to Lin Xiaoyue and lowered his voice, “the money was received in exchange for Madam’s jade pendant. Moreover, she pawned it for a total of 300 taels.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s expression changed.
“My mother’s jade pendant?” Her gaze was already somewhat unfriendly.
She was wondering how the Lin family could have sent Lin Yuanshan to Huichun Hall to have his leg checked. That was how the consultation fee came about.
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes moved and she said in a deep voice, “ask Head Fang to send someone to investigate the whereabouts of the jade pendant.”
What kind of jade pendant could be worth 300 taels? Where did her mother get such a precious item?
“I have already told Head Fang. I believe there will be news soon.” Zhao Shanshan said hurriedly.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Zhao Shanshan, her eyes filled with relief.
“Don’t let my mother know about this for now. As for the Lin family, I’ll talk to Fan Teng and Zhao Qiang later.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
This was related to her mother. She had to investigate this matter thoroughly.
If the jade pendant really belonged to her mother, her mother’s background was probably not simple…
