"Sister, what's the matter with you that makes you laugh like this?"
Xia Yueyue sat opposite Xia Qiyue, watching her eldest sister snicker and snicker from time to time, and couldn't help but ask.
"Really? No!" Xia Qiyue touched her grin that reached behind her ears. She just thought about how handsome her cheap man was and laughed a few more times, but she still didn't know if he was her man now.
He deceived his family into falsely reporting his death. Maybe this man might have done something else.
It's hard to say whether the woman and children were there, but according to her observation, it didn't look like there were women and children in that house.
"Yes, you have been looking at the apple tree I made for a long time, and you still laugh from time to time. It's scary!" Xia Jiuyue said.
Now that she had nothing to do in the evening after dinner, she made a mini fruit tree and said she would make plans first to prevent the same thing as last time from smashing up the shop from happening again.
"On the first day we opened, we received over 15,000 taels of silver. Do you think I'm going to laugh or not?"
Xia Qiyue quickly changed the topic.
"Really? Sister, I can't even imagine it. Please pinch me quickly. Am I dreaming?" Xia Jiuyue stretched out his arm for her to pinch.
Xia Qiyue pinched it without hesitation, causing Xia Yueyue to cry out in pain.
"Sister, are you my biological sister? I actually pinched you, it hurts so much!" She cried out the pain while still being silly and happy, "But sister, when we were about to starve to death, I never thought that we would still have this day! It's true!
.”
Xia Qiyue couldn't help but think of those difficult days. She was traveling during the day and had no one to steal food at night. She was tired, hungry and thirsty, and she didn't dare to stop even though the soles of her feet were blistered.
Those were the most difficult days she had ever traveled through, but luckily for them, they had space for supplies and would not starve to death. Others had it even more difficult.
"Don't worry, life will be better in the future! With your sister here, you will feel at ease!"
Xia Jiuyue fell into deep thought after hearing this.
"What's wrong with you?" Xia Qiyue looked at her sister and asked with a worried look on her face.
Xia Jiuyue shook her head and suddenly looked up at her, "Sister, I want to discuss something with you!"
"What are you talking about?" Xia Qiyue easily picked up the things for making fruit trees and played with them.
"Sister, Xinghe and I have been following you all the time. It's not okay for you to raise us..." Xia Jiuyue said, "I want to do something on my own so that you won't be able to raise me anymore."
Xia Qiyue was very pleased. Although she said she did not have much pressure to raise her younger siblings, it was most important for her younger sister to be self-motivated, so she quietly listened to her younger sister's next words.
"Sister, I have an idea, that is, I want to make cuddly bears for sale. As you know, I am good at this craft, but I can't do anything else. Do you think it will work?"
"How did you come up with the idea of selling cuddly bears?" Xia Qiyue did not immediately give an opinion, but asked instead.
"Sister, on the day our candy shop first opened, when the lady asked to buy our mini fruit tree, many people around me wanted to buy it. I thought, if the fruit tree doesn't work, I can hug the bear.
Both are equally beautiful. If I make it specifically for sale, someone will probably buy it. So I’ve had this idea for a long time. I’ve always wanted to do it but didn’t know how. Sister, please give me some ideas!"
Xia Qiyue then slowly said, "I think that's okay. You have quite a business acumen. If you want to do it, you can do it. No need to hesitate! Don't worry about the money. I will take care of both Xinghe and you."
I’m saving it. I thought you wouldn’t have to spend your own money for food, drink and clothing, so I didn’t give it to you! Now if you want money, I’ll give it to you!”
Xia Jiuyue waved her hand, "If you're not sister, why do you want to give me money? I don't need it! And where do we get the money?"
"You guys help me a lot. You are busy doing things every day. I won't have to work for outsiders and not give my own brothers and sisters! How can you open a shop or sell cuddly bears without money? You still need money to buy fabrics and cotton!"
Xia Qiyue was thinking that with her younger brothers and sisters by her side, she would buy them their daily food and clothing. They were both still half-grown children, and it was difficult to carry so much money, so she didn't give it to them. She didn't give it to them.
Thinking about it, the siblings never mentioned money at all, and they worked extremely hard every day.
"Sister, I will only be angry with you if you really give me money! After my parents died, without you, Xinghe and I don't know where we would be. It was you who kept pulling us, feeding us and clothing us.
As both fathers and mothers, how can we still have the nerve to ask for money from you? Sister, don’t worry, I will definitely earn money through my own efforts, and Xinghe will not let you down!"
Xia Qiyue usually kept a low voice, but her mouth was very good at critical moments. These words touched the hearts of Xia Qiyue and made Xia Qiyue feel that her efforts were rewarded. At least her younger siblings knew they were grateful.
"Okay, sister knows that you are very good at working hard, so treat this money as my sister's investment in you, and you can use it to open a shop!" Xia Qiyue said, taking out a thousand taels from his sleeve pocket, actually from the space.
, if the shop to be opened in September is not in a very popular area, these one thousand taels will be enough. She has bought the shop, but she can also rent the shop, which is cheaper.
Xia Jiuyue lowered her head in embarrassment, "Sister, I never thought about opening a shop. I originally thought about setting up a stall to sell..."
"If you open a shop, your cuddly bears can be of a higher quality. If you set up a stall, people who can afford it won't be able to give much money. Then you will just earn a handicraft fee. It's too slow to make money this way!"
The two sisters started chatting around the shop until very late before going to bed.
Xia Qiyue got up early the next morning and ran to the town happily. She was the kind of person who would admit it freely if she liked it. Since she liked it, she wanted to see if it was possible to be together. If An Zichen was on vacation,
She didn't spread the news of her death just to marry someone else, or even if she wanted to marry someone else but there was still no one she liked, then she would take action.
Unknowingly, the two of them were already running in both directions, but An Zichen had more concerns and news about Changji also came through.
"Brother Chen, your family is very close to you now. You said your father's name is Anbang, right?" Changji ran over early in the morning. It just so happened that they had no missions these days and were relatively free.
"Yes." An Zichen didn't sleep all night. At this time, the circles under his eyes were very dark, but he was still very energetic. During the war, he stayed up for several nights.
"That's right. I found out that they are all in Baijia Village, a newly built village five miles outside Jiuli Town. People from your Shanbei Village are all here, but I didn't see your wife in your household registration!" Changji checked An.
In Bang’s household registration, the other sons and daughters-in-law are all there, but there is no fourth daughter-in-law. He knows that Brother Chen is the fourth in the family, but there is no fourth daughter-in-law. Maybe he is dead?
"Oh!" An Zichen's thoughts were already drifting away. When he heard that the woman's name was not on the household registration, he actually felt a little relieved. He was already a bit cold-blooded, and he had no idea about a stranger who just slept with him.
Too much sympathy, but I feel that it would be better to die, because if I die, I will not have anything to do with him.
