Chapter 137 Nothing's Different
"I'm not doing it." Scarface handed the blueprints back to Lin Cai: "I'm not doing it."
He doesn't want to do the work of a lousy craftsman; it's bound to involve a lot of walking and is too tiring.
After returning the blueprints to Lin Cai, Scarface headed towards his woodshed, muttering that he wouldn't do that kind of hard work.
Lin Cai stared at his retreating figure: "You'll get a share of the room too."
The figure stopped, then turned around, and a light shone in its eyes.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"It's not like money will fall from the sky if I lie to you."
"Just wait for me..."
The problem of finding craftsmen has been solved; now the issues are timber and bricks.
Lin Cai put the blueprints away, locked the door, and went out, leaving Big Gray behind to watch the house.
Outside the courtyard, Lin Cai, who had just arrived, stood outside and secretly peeked inside. She didn't see anyone in the courtyard, and the door inside was tightly closed.
The cautious look on his face instantly turned into one of disappointment.
"Going up the mountain again in broad daylight? It's already deep winter, what prey would want to roam around outside in the mountains?"
Muttering to herself, kicking at the mud on the ground, Lin Cai walked back with her head down, only to bump into something after taking just a couple of steps.
"Ouch~ Who is it? Can't you watch where you're going? This place is so wide, there's not even enough room for you to walk, and you just had to bump into people!"
Looking up, Lin Cai realized it was the person she was looking for and quickly took two steps back: "Why did you bump into me on such a wide road?"
Gu Zhan looked at Lin Cai with a deep gaze, listening to her turn the tables: "This is my front door."
"What's wrong with your front door? Isn't this wide enough here?"
"My front door is behind you."
Lin Cai: "..." She forgot, forgot that she was standing at someone's door!
But Miss Lin, who had taken the initiative earlier, wasn't about to admit her mistake: "I blocked your way, didn't you even call out to me? Did you have to watch me bump into you?"
Gu Zhan, carrying his prey, walked past the girl who had turned the tables on him and into his own courtyard.
Seeing him leave, Lin Cai followed him inside without thinking, her face showing a hint of displeasure.
She was indeed blocking the way, but didn't he see that?
Why didn't he warn her when he saw it? He let her bump into him. He didn't even know if the area in front of him was made of stone. She bumped into him so hard that her forehead hurt.
Lin Cai was already a little unhappy, and now that she had said so much but the other person hadn't said a word, her little unhappiness turned into full-blown unhappiness.
She followed him inside and watched as Gu Zhan hung his bow and arrows on the wall and placed his prey next to the fence.
Then she opened the door to the main room and went inside. Lin Cai stood in the courtyard, looking at the entrance to the main room, and felt that she was really bored.
Is there no one left in Gujia Village?
Is there no one on the street?
It's not like she's short of money. Can't she find two people to help her?
Lin Cai, fuming, turned and left. Gu Zhan, having changed his clothes, came out and saw that no one was in the courtyard.
He turned to look at the place where he had put the prey; the prey was still there, but the person was gone.
He had just gone in to change his clothes because there was blood on them, and he was afraid she would be upset if she smelled it.
So he went in and changed into something cleaner before coming out to talk to her in detail, but he didn't expect that she would be gone in the time it took to change his clothes!
Lin Cai was still angry and didn't notice her mother as she passed by the Lin family's door. Lin Cai had already walked past when her mother finally came to the door.
"Caicai? Where have you been?"
Hearing the voice, Lin Cai turned around and saw her mother. She walked over to her mother and said, "I went to check on the bamboo. Mother, how's the tofu business lately?"
Not far from Gu Zhan's house, there was a large bamboo forest. Hearing this, Lin's mother didn't think much of it.
"The tofu business is doing very well, and quite a few people come to buy tofu. It's all thanks to you!"
“What does this have to do with me? Third Brother was the one who harvested the beans, and you and Dad made the tofu. I didn’t help at all.”
The mother and daughter walked into the yard together. Hearing her daughter's words, Lin's mother patted her daughter's hand: "You came up with the idea, and you asked us to do the business. How can it not be your business?"
"Whether it's me, your father, or your brother, we are where we are today because of you. You are the greatest contributor to our family."
Hearing this, Lin Cai felt a warmth in her heart, and the anger she had felt earlier had subsided considerably.
She told Lin's mother that no matter who came to collect the tofu, and no matter how much they wanted, they should not be allowed to buy it on credit.
No matter who the other party is, when taking tofu, you must pay for it on the spot and never let them take the tofu first.
After hearing this, Lin's mother nodded: "Don't worry, I remember everything you said, including your father and your brother. I've told them to keep your words in mind."
In addition, Lin Cai told her mother that she wanted to build a house.
Upon hearing this, Lin's mother looked at her and asked, "Build a house? Where will you build a house? On the Gu family's land?"
"Have you found the right people? Have you secured the bricks and tiles? Do you have enough money? Your father and I have saved up what we made from selling tofu, do you want some...?"
Lin's mother lowered her voice as if afraid of being overheard, and before she could finish speaking, Lin Cai interrupted her.
"Mother, no need to worry. I'll take care of the materials; I've already sent someone to find them for me. As for the money, there's even less to worry about."
She has money, so there's no need to worry about that at all. With that money, she could easily build a mansion.
Hearing this, Lin's mother patted Lin Cai's hand: "It's good that you have it. If you don't, remember to tell your mother. Your father and I are getting old, and the family business will belong to you and your siblings in the future."
“I’m not worried about your brother and the others, the only thing I’m worried about is you.” Lin’s mother stroked Lin Cai’s hair.
"I didn't choose a good husband back then, I ended up with such a bad one... Now I don't ask for anything, I just hope my daughter will have a good future!"
Lin Cai understood her mother's worries, and she looked at her mother with bright eyes: "Mother, why do I have to have a good marriage?"
"Can't I live my own life and do what I want to do, just like my brother?"
Upon hearing this, Lin's mother, who had been feeling sad just a moment ago, looked at Lin Cai in shock: "What are you saying?"
“Your brothers are men, and no one will say anything if they never marry, but you are different…”
Lin Cai disagreed with this statement. She interrupted her mother and let go of her, saying, "Mother, apart from gender, I am no different from my brothers."
"They can remain unmarried for their entire lives, and I can remain unmarried for my entire life."
