Chapter 818: Chapter 781: Returning to the Seaside

Gifts for Liang Banxia were given away, Lin Wanwan turned around and said to the child: "I originally promised to bring you a gift when we met. Now there’s none. What do you want? Shall we go to the mall together and pick something out?"

Before Liang Banxia could speak, Liang Jingtian and his wife quickly said: "What’s the point of giving gifts? Kids shouldn’t need gifts. Wanwan, don’t spoil her."

"Exactly, there are lots of toys at home. Don’t go overboard."

"Oh, this is something I’ve agreed upon with Banxia, I can’t break the promise. Brother and sister-in-law, please don’t interfere." Lin Wanwan said mischievously with a smile.

"No need, really! No need!" Jiang’s wife picked up her daughter and said to her, "Tell your aunt that you don’t want the gift. Next time, let aunt come to our house for a meal."

Little Liang Banxia was evidently not a child lacking toys, and she listened to her mother’s words very well. She promptly said in her childish voice: "Aunt Lin, I don’t want a gift, will you come play at my house instead?"

Compared to her serious parents, Lin Wanwan, who would play with her, was clearly very popular.

Lin Wanwan especially liked kids in the kindergarten stage—soft, adorable, and without any rebellion, particularly fun. When they grow older and begin to defy, they’re not as easygoing.

"It’s not possible today. I’ll definitely visit your house to play next time." Lin Wanwan said.

"Okay then, goodbye Aunt Lin!" Liang Banxia was not at all disappointed by the rejection, waving her little hand.

She could hardly wait to go to the amusement park with her parents, standing in the parking lot listening to adults chit-chat didn’t interest her.

Lin Wanwan smiled, "Alright, goodbye!"

The family of three waved goodbye to Lin Wanwan and continued towards their parked car.

Liang Jingtian’s wife glanced back, seeing Lin Wanwan sit inside a Bugatti sports car, she turned her head and said: "I didn’t expect Lu’s background to be so impressive. Wanwan is really lucky, I can’t imagine how she found such an exceptional boyfriend."

Liang Jingtian replied with displeasure: "The Lu Family is just a little wealthier, what’s so great about them? Meeting Wanwan is his good fortune. Wanwan is a genius in Chinese medicine, which made my father, who was originally going to retire, break the norm and accept her as his last disciple."

Lin Wanwan’s sect members may have many shortcomings, but there’s one characteristic that runs in the family—standing up for their own.

They didn’t know Lin Wanwan had opened a time and master cheat code in the Great Tang, thinking she was a naturally gifted person.

Driving out of the parking lot, Lin Wanwan headed directly toward Times Square, where the real estate was located.

Returning to Yongcheng, she still sat in the RV as she did when coming, not wanting to drive on the highway herself.

Driving by herself was exhausting and time-consuming, not interesting at all.

She hadn’t read any medical books today, three hours back she could comfortably read.

By the afternoon, Lin Wanwan’s act of righteousness in the morning indeed made it to the national hot searches.

The ingenious netizens quickly recognized Lin Wanwan’s identity through her side profile. Since it’s a social news about righteousness, the comments below were all praise, there was no need for Times Company’s PR department to intervene and control the reviews.

Sensitive Taobao merchants immediately posted cartoon pajamas similar to Lin Wanwan’s pajamas. All at once, this ordinary winter pajamas became a bestseller.

The traffic’s ability to drive sales is really not a joke.

Let alone a genuine positive righteous act like Lin Wanwan’s, even under hot topics like infidelity, people seek links to the clothes worn by the mistress.

When weary from memorizing prescriptions, Lin Wanwan would always take out her phone to look at the news, quickly relieved to find she made the top trending headline again.

Alongside her name in the hot search were Chen Jinyu and Lin Mengyun, both seizing the opportunity to market friendship with Lin Wanwan.

On Weibo, they @Lin Wanwan, praised her bravery, and claimed to have watched her leap across roofs, transform into a "flying person" to save others, feeling concerned and frightened for her, and so on.

Publicly calling out different things, privately not a word.

Of course, Lin Wanwan wasn’t bothered by their insincere gestures; them not bothering her privately was best. As for getting boosted in popularity, Lin Wanwan didn’t mind anymore, indifferent.

Arriving at Yongcheng at dusk, the RV directly took Lin Wanwan to the community gates.

She had no intention to dine outside, simply found some ingredients in the small villa to make do.

When traveling back to the Great Tang, it was just past noon, Lin Wanwan could just lie on an ancient bed and sleep, waking up to a new day.

After Laba Festival passed, the festive atmosphere grew stronger.

Lin Wanwan took Xiao Yixun along to review the year-end accounts of Red Face Smile, Silk Shop, and Embroidery Workshop, calculating the annual profits.

As for the newly opened Chinese Medicine Hall, it had significant initial investments, currently in stable loss.

But the loss didn’t affect Lin Wanwan’s plan to open a second one in Xiaoxi Town.

After purchasing a saline wasteland on the edge of Xiaoxi Town from the County Government, Lin Wanwan immediately began construction on a second courtyard-style Chinese Medicine Hall.

Why the urgency, not even waiting for the year to pass?

It was entirely due to Lin Wanwan’s nurturing heart, aiming to provide idle farmers with a decent work environment and benefits before the New Year, so all hardworking individuals could experience a prosperous year.

As per the Great Tang tradition, the host provides a meal when building houses.

Lin Wanwan hired two chefs to cook for the craftsmen, offering genuine and quality white rice and flour to host the craftsmen’s families.

In just a few days, the newly promoted Steward Chen secretly informed Lin Wanwan that the craftsmen’s construction speed slowed down. They were sure the craftsmen, seeing Lin Wanwan was liberal, deliberately created opportunities to delay the project, earning more wages and slackening off.

But Lin Wanwan merely chuckled at the news: "Starting tomorrow, add a bowl of roasted lamb to the craftsmen’s meals."

Steward Chen: "..."

Lin Wanwan didn’t invest much energy in these matters. She still had to return to Lin Family Manor and patiently await the New Year.

Returning from Xiaoxi Town to Lin Family Manor, Lin Wanwan and her entourage traveled by small boat. They sailed along the Dajia River to the sea and then arrived at Lin Family Manor’s small wharf.

Why choose this slower mode of transportation this time?

Simple, because of the wine!

Xiao Chong had sent several jars of sweet potato wine to Lin Wanwan one after the other. She was worried riding too fast might spoil the wine and affect the taste.

These wines she planned to take back to Lin Family Manor, invite her clansmen to taste together, and then host several feasts for a delightful time.

Life in Lin Family Manor grew better year by year, with wine no longer an unattainable luxury.

Especially after teaching them how to brew wine from corn cobs in the County Government, occasionally her clansmen would enjoy a bit of wine leisurely in the evening.
