Chapter 794: New place, new drama——2

Lin Yu deliberately used the word \'buy\' to make his offer look sincere and sure enough it was just as he expected the old woman\'s face who opened the door for him lit up immediately as she looked at him and nodded with a smile, " We do have seaweed inside, how much do you want, Lord?"         

The old lady knew that the house next to her belonged to the previous magistrate, which meant that anyone who could shift into his house was either a person with a background or he was the next magistrate which was why she was rather respectful towards Lin Yu.      

In fact, she would not have sold the seaweed and might have given it away after knowing that Lin Yu came from the house next door but this year\'s winters were harsh and they could no longer go to the sea, even though the fish and aquatic animals that they caught and sold, did not taste good they could still earn a little from selling them but now they had no income and all of them were relying on the little savings that they did.      

Seaweed which often ended up entangled in the net which they threw in the ocean did not taste good nor did it taste bad, it had a sort of fishy taste because of staying in the ocean water for so long but it was still food in the end and they could survive on it after adding salt and water to it before bringing it to a boil.     

Thus, they had a generous amount of seaweed inside their house in fact all the houses in their city had seaweed stored up in abundant amounts during winters, if it could be sold for money then why not sell it?     

That way she will be able to buy some pork from the butcher who lived at the end of the narrow slope.      

" Please do call me Little Yu or Ah Yu, I am not used to being called Lord," Lin Yu waved the title of lord away from him, what lord? The one who was the temporary magistrate of this place was his wife and not him, if anything she should be the one to be called lady instead.      

When the old woman saw that Lin Yu\'s nature was polite and he was willing to talk to a commoner like her with that polite tone of his, her impression of him went another notch up.      

The previous magistrate was such a noble body that he would look at them like they were mere weeds which he could crush with his foot and did not show a good expression when he was talking with them, even his wife and children were the same.      

Especially his son, just how many women and young girls he had spoiled in their city only he knew!     

" You can call me, Old Lady Hu or Grandma Hu then," said the old woman as she opened the door further and invited Lin Yu inside for a cup of tea which he politely declined,      

" I am grateful but my wife is waiting."      

" Oh you seem to adore your wife," Old Madam Hu remarked as she walked towards the wooden barrel and then scooped a bowl of seaweed from the water inside. " Here you, Little Yu. It\'s a catty, I sell it for three copper coins but I will sell it to you for a copper coin."      

In a copper coin she will be able to buy pork ribs, though they did not have enough meat on them, they tasted much better than seaweed.     

Lin Yu took the seaweed with him but instead of handing a copper coin, he handed two coins when Old Madam Hu tried to return the extra coin, he smiled and refused, "It\'s all right, Grandma Hu. We are going to be neighbours in the future. Since we are going to take advantage of you, you should not bother with such a small thing, okay?"      

Old Madam Hu looked at his clean clothes which looked really expensive and pursed her lips. Given how rich he looked, he did not have any reason to take advantage of her family, if anything it might be her who would end up taking advantage of their family with so many sick and old!     

She knew that Lin Yu was only saying this to make sure that she took the extra copper coin and was very grateful, in the past many people had come to her house and taken seaweed but they never bought it, instead, they acted as if it was all right for them to take the seaweed with them since they were neighbours.     

" Thank you, you are really kind," she bowed her head as Lin Yu waved her gratitude aside and then took his leave, he still needed to go back to his wife who was waiting for her supplement after giving birth.     

As Old Madam Hu went to close her door, she heard someone call her and when her gaze fell on Widow Li, her expression could not help but become taut.      

" Grandma Hu!" Though Old Madam Hu did not hide her disdain for her widow Li acted as if she could not see her bad expression at all, instead, she looked at the man who was walking away before she turned her head and smiled at Old Madam Hu with a pair of bright eyes and asked, " That man…who is he?"      

Widow Li was rather famous in the town for her antics, she was a woman whose husband died when she was pregnant leaving her alone with her daughter, which was why every time she saw a young man who looked good, she would set her eyes on him wanting to become his wife and live the life of a married woman again.      

Seeing the desires rising in the eyes of Widow Li, Old Madam Hu snorted and then said, " I know what you are thinking but you better stop running that mind of yours, he is the city magistrate …" When Widow Li heard Lin Yu\'s position, her eyes lit up with excitement but Old madam Hu wasted no time in dumping cold water at her head. " And is already married, I will have you known that he already has a child, so you better be on your best behaviour, the last time you were able to escape because your brother-in-law vouched for you …but this time, heh!" After scoffing in a disdainful voice, Old Madam Hu shut the door with a bang on Widow Li\'s face.
