The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 564 - Selling Himself to Bury his Father

Chapter 564: Selling Himself to Bury his Father

Lin yuelan had planned to open the restaurant when the vegetables in the greenhouse could be harvested. She wanted to design the restaurant and make the reputation of the restaurant and the vegetables in the greenhouse famous at the same time.

The matters of the restaurant’s opening were already prepared.

However, the only thing that made Lin yuelan frown was that the manager of the restaurant had not been found.

Previously, Zhou Wencai had introduced two or three candidates, but Lin yuelan wasn’t too satisfied with them.

This was because these people were either too old or had sealed their own thinking and were not willing to make progress and change.

This was absolutely unacceptable for a restaurant that wanted to develop.

On this day, Jiang Zhennan and Lin yuelan were walking on the street.

Jiang Zhennan was originally a dull man. He was usually slow-witted and didn’t know how to say anything, so he had been silently accompanying Lin yuelan on the streets.

As they walked, they saw a large group of people gathered at the corner of the wall in front of them. From time to time, there were some people talking in the crowd. Some were regretful, some were pitiful, and some were gloating. In short, they seemed to be targeting only one person.

“Sigh, it’s a pity for this scholar Zhang. I heard that he had the highest chance of pa.s.sing the Imperial examinations, but I didn’t expect that such a thing would happen, making a scholar like him sell his body to bury his father.”

“Tsk, who said he’ll definitely pa.s.s? Haven’t you heard of it? It’s rare for elementary scholars to pa.s.s. Who can guarantee that elementary scholar Zhang will pa.s.s?”

“Regardless of whether scholar Zhang can pa.s.s or not, he has been removed from the Zhang family. He can forget about continuing his official career.”

“That’s true. Scholar Zhang is really pitiful. After his father pa.s.sed away, before the seventh day had even pa.s.sed, he was already expelled from the Zhang family. Not to mention continuing his studies, he even had to sell his body to pay for his father’s funeral. However,” At this point, the man shook his head and said, ” if he were a woman, it would be better. He could be bought back by those rich families as a concubine or something. But he’s selling his body. Plus, he’s asking for about ten teals. Tsk tsk, I’m afraid that not many people are willing to pay that moment!”

“Hehe, it seems like this scholar Zhang can only beg for a living!” He was obviously gloating over his misfortune.

Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan squeezed into the crowd and saw a young man in his twenties, who looked like a scholar, in the corner. There was a sign in front of him that read: Ten taels of silver to sell my body to bury my father!

In front of him, there was a corpse wrapped in a straw mat.

Due to the cold weather, the evil aura emitted by the corpse was not obvious.

Lin yuelan stood in front of him and looked around.

In the eyes of this scholar, he had encountered such a major change, but he did not become numb, wallow in self-pity, or vent all his misfortune on the innocent.

Although there was strong anger and unwillingness in his eyes, there was more grief and sadness from losing a loved one.

In the cold weather, he knelt on the ground with his hands clenched into fists. However, he was so cold that his skin had turned purple and black. However, he still did not give up the thought of earning money to bury his father.

Lin yuelan lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. Then, her clear and tender voice rang out in the crowd. She asked, ” what if I ask you to give up your studies and go into business? ”

She went straight to the point.

Hearing the sudden voice of a child, scholar Zhang’s expression froze for a moment. He immediately reacted and said politely, ” I’m willing to obey all the arrangements of my master!

He was telling Lin yuelan that as long as she bought him, she could turn him into whatever she liked.

Lin yuelan nodded slightly, ” yes.”

Then, she took out 20 taels of silver and said to scholar Zhang, ” here, this is 20 taels of silver. First, arrange your father’s funeral and deal with other matters. After that, you can come to my restaurant!

The moment Lin yuelan took out the silver, the surrounding crowd was shocked.

This person’s selling price was clearly ten taels, but she took out twenty taels. Most importantly, she was just a child, and she could take out twenty taels so casually. Where did this daughter of a rich family come from?

However, when they heard that Scholar Zhang was to report to a restaurant, they were shocked again.

This restaurant had appeared out of nowhere, and County Magistrate Zhou’s son frequently visited it. Sometimes, one could even see County Magistrate Zhou there. Therefore, anyone could guess that this restaurant must have a relations.h.i.+p with County Magistrate Zhou’s family.
