Chapter 28 Come to the Lin family's old house to borrow things

Ding Xiang glanced at everyone in the Lin family and felt a little uneasy due to the tense atmosphere, so she couldn't help but be cautious when asking questions.

“I wonder if my mother’s house has a steamer?”

Just when everyone was holding their breath nervously waiting for Ding Xiang's answer, to everyone's surprise, they heard such a question.

For a moment, the air condensed for several minutes, and everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces.

"Steamer?" Mrs. Lin asked uncertainly.

Ding Xiang nodded: "Mom, don't you have one at home?"

"Yes, yes, but what do you want a steamer for?"

"Mom, I want to start a small business and need a steamer. I wonder if you can lend me the one you have at home?"

When Old Man Lin heard this, he said displeasedly: "You are a woman, what are you doing in the publicity business?"

"..." Ding Xiang was a little speechless, this is another stubborn old man.

"Dad, our family is not a wealthy family, and we also insist that women should not be exposed to the public." Ding Xiang saw the old man's face slowly darkening, and quickly explained her reasons, "Besides, I also want to save enough peppercorns early.

He wanted to pay for his ransom, so he wanted to do business."

Sure enough, after hearing what she said, the old man's complexion improved a lot.

Old man Lin nodded secretly in his heart. In fact, when the old lady came back yesterday, she had already told him the agreement with Ding Xiang.

At first, he did not believe that Ding Xiang would change for the better and would find a way to redeem his eldest granddaughter.

But he didn't expect that in just one day, the other party would already have a plan in mind.

Although it is not good to be in the public eye when doing business, but from what the second daughter-in-law said, they are not a wealthy family, and they are not actually so particular.

Before he knew it, Old Man Lin had convinced himself.

"You wait."

It's rare that this lazy woman has her heart, so Mrs. Lin is naturally happy to see it happen.

On the other hand, the two daughters-in-law at home looked at Ding Xiang with curious faces, a little curious about what she said she wanted to do business.

"Hey, second sister-in-law, what business do you plan to do?"

This is really a new thing for the Lin family. For generations, their farming family has been farming in the fields. When did they think of starting a business?

Let’s not talk about how easy it is to do business and whether it can be successful. Let’s talk about the levels of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. They all look down on businessmen.

Although some businessmen are wealthy and wear gold and silver, sometimes they just feel that they are superior to them.

Ding Xiang didn't know this point of view, otherwise she would have shaken her head.

There are so many ignorant people who look down upon the status of businessmen.

But they don’t know that no matter what class of people they are, they are indispensable.

The loss of any class of people is a major blow to the entire society.

"Make pastries."

"Second sister-in-law, you can actually make pastries?" Mrs. Lan was extremely surprised. Pastries were not something that her small family knew how to do.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Ding Xiang strangely, and murmured in her heart, the second sister-in-law came here when she fled, could it be that she came from a wealthy family before?

Ding Xiang ignored Lan's fuss and saw Mrs. Lin coming out of the back room with a steamer, and quickly stepped forward to take it.

"In addition, I also need a small table and some wooden molds." At this point, Ding Xiang looked at Lan and said, "I heard that my third brother is good at carpentry. I wonder if I can do it?"

Lan's reaction was quick and he refused immediately: "Hey, we Dagen are very busy every day, but we don't have time to help you with carpentry."

Ding Xiang saw her avoiding her like a snake and scorpion, and smiled helplessly: "Third brother and sister, don't be nervous, I don't ask third brother to help in vain, I will pay you."

Lan was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled: "This relationship is great."

Unexpectedly, this lazy woman was quite decent today. She knew that she was paid for her work instead of trying to take advantage of others.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin said with a disapproving look on her face: "Those who say they are paid or not paid are all brothers. It doesn't make sense that you still need to be paid for doing a favor."

When Lan heard this, his face suddenly fell.

Since my mother said so, she was naturally embarrassed to accept Ding Xiang's money.

What Lan didn't expect was that with such an advantage in front of her, Dingxiang was not only indifferent, but also refused.

"Mom, my brother is still settling the accounts. I asked my third brother to help me. I should be paid for it."

Not to mention how decent this is to say.

For the first time, Lan felt that her second sister-in-law was actually a pretty good person.

When Mrs. Lin saw Ding Xiang's insistence, she also felt that what she said made sense, so she stopped insisting.

Old man Lin, who had been watching silently from the side, nodded in his heart, hoping that this lazy woman was not just putting on a show for them, but actually changed for the better.
