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

Chapter 554 A Moment's Inaction Leads to Three Years of Regret

Wu Lexing's reaction satisfied both Cai and her daughter, but it wasn't enough.

It is not uncommon for widows to remarry in this dynasty.

If she was going to do something, she had to go all the way; she had to completely ruin that bitch's image in her uncle's mind.

Therefore, Cai Jiaojiao added fuel to the fire, saying, "Uncle, you don't know, that woman not only bewitched my cousin, but also showed her face in public and had close relationships with many men."

"Not only did they hawk their wares at local markets, but they also went with young and old to repair roads."

"Think about it, even if it's corvée labor, there's no reason to ask women to repair roads, is there? But she's restless and can't stand the loneliness, so she hangs out with a bunch of peasants, regardless of age, in broad daylight."

“Absurd…” Wu Lexing slammed the teacup he was holding onto the table. “So unbearable, how could Feng’er even be pleasing to the eye? I knew I shouldn’t have let the Huo family raise him.”

"What is Huo Shi's intention in raising Feng'er to be such a shameless and immoral person?"

"Someone, prepare pen and ink."

It was time to write a letter reprimanding Wu Qingfeng. Cai Jiaojiao exchanged a glance with her mother, thinking to herself that it was indeed her mother who had taught her these words before she set off.

Look, Uncle is really angry!

Not only did she despise that bitch surnamed Lin, but her aunt also suffered the consequences. It was a pity that her dear aunt might not be able to return to the capital alive.

"Achoo, achoo..."

Far away in the south, at the Linshui Village dock, Lin Chang'er watched as the long line of carriages unloaded their grain in an orderly fashion before turning around and leaving.

When the road is to be divided into two lanes, I can't help but feel grateful that when she built this road, she didn't try to save money by building a one-way street.

As the saying goes, "A moment of forbearance may hurt, but ten years of peace of mind will follow; a moment of reluctance may lead to thirty years of regret."

Developing this place into the largest port of this dynasty is naturally not something that can be accomplished in a year or two.

When the road was being built, Lin Chang'er considered their current plans, estimated the speed of development, and took into account her own financial situation.

Ultimately, it was decided to build a two-lane road first.

Once the port has developed to a certain extent, the roads will naturally need to be expanded and repaired.

At the time, many good people in the village felt it was unnecessary, saying that there were very few horse-drawn carriages coming and going in their area, and they almost always bumped into each other.

At the time, many people didn't say it aloud, but secretly they still laughed at Lin Chang'er for being a sucker, thinking that she had spent a lot of money to build a useless road.

However, this is where the advantage of a wide road surface becomes apparent.

Lin Chang'er rubbed her nose. Who was cursing her?

It just so happens that she was being scolded when she was thinking about road repairs. Does anyone think she's being taken advantage of?

Lin Chang'er pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "To get rich, you have to build roads first, understand?"

After cursing, he turned his attention to the clean-looking men unloading the goods and shouted for them to work harder.

Winters in the south don't snow, and the temperature is much higher than in the north. So even though it's winter, the men still sweat a lot when they're working, especially when it's physical labor.

But this was important business. It was tiring, but Lin Chang'er doubled the wages. The shifts were three-shift system. The day shift paid 60 coins for four hours, and the night shift paid 20 coins more.

Some men who felt physically fit wanted to work two shifts.

Lin Chang'er naturally disagreed. Even oxen need rest and recuperation, let alone humans. Therefore, it was clearly stated in black and white that each person could only work one shift per day.

However, this regulation was for the workers, and she herself was still worried, so she ate and slept in the dock so that she could keep an eye on things.

In the evening, Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu brought her dinner.

Gu Ersao was pushing Yudian, whom she hadn't seen for several days, saying that the little guy missed his aunt.

Lin Chang'er wholeheartedly agreed, and instead of eating, she wanted to tease the little guy first.

To her surprise, when she looked down, she saw the little one lying flat on the stroller, holding a bottle in his hands and drinking goat milk, with one of his little feet sticking up on the stroller's shelf, looking quite relaxed.

Seeing someone looking over, she first blinked her big, black grape-like eyes, and then, after a moment's hesitation, recognized Lin Chang'er. She then held the bottle handle with one hand, tossed it aside, and grinned at Lin Chang'er with a toothless smile.

Although the little guy reached out his hand to Lin Chang'er the next moment, Lin Chang'er always felt that this little guy didn't seem to miss his aunt at all...
