Seeing the five people coming back, Mrs. An and Wang rushed forward anxiously and scolded them.
"Qi Qi, you don't know what's important. Why did you come back so late? How dangerous is it for you to take the children into the city? Forget it during the day, why did you come back after dark?"
Xia Qiyue felt warm in her heart when she heard Wang An's scolding words in a not very good tone.
"Aunt...Isn't this just to earn some money? I've been busy until now...Shh! Go in and talk!"
Xia Qiyue whispered in Wang An's ear with a smile, and then pulled Wang An into her shed in front of others.
When An Wang heard that it was related to silver, she shut up and followed her in quickly.
Even though I knew that this broken shed was of no use, I still felt that it was safer to talk in the shed.
After entering the shed, Xia Qiyue quickly took the two children out of the baskets. Xia Jiuyue also arranged the bedding and let the two children lie on the quilt.
The two of us were very tired from playing today, so we had to let them sleep quickly. Children always grow up while sleeping.
Mrs. An and Wang did not disturb the sisters to put the children to sleep. After letting the two children lie down, Xia Qiyue pulled Mrs. An to sit down and hesitated to tell her what she had done that day.
We can't talk about selling tea eggs. She doesn't have any eggs. Even if she collects eggs, she can't collect so many eggs so quickly. There is still time to boil them and sell them. However, we can still talk about the halva sugar, but this white sugar is another
question.
Having too many secrets is a problem, and I don’t know where to start.
Thinking about what to say, suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she made up a joke: "Auntie, I've been walking around the market a few times in the past two days, and I thought of a way to make some money, so I'm doing it.
It’s too late, it’s scary to be in the dark…”
When Mrs. An heard Xia Qiyue's explanation that she was earning money, she was first and foremost happy that the child could work hard for a living.
When she was in the village before, although she didn't have much contact with Zichen's family, she often heard gossip from people.
What I hear most is how obedient the fourth daughter-in-law bought by Brother Anbang is. She doesn't compete with her sisters-in-law, but she is indifferent to the two children and shows no concern at all.
Some people may even say that the Zichen family is obedient and has no ideas of their own. Although it is a good thing to not fight for anything, it seems that she has no pursuit of life and does not care about her children.
But look at it now, this girl has a lot of clever ideas and knows a lot of things. She obviously has so much money in her hands, but she still takes advantage of the opportunity to stay here to earn money, which is even better for the two children.
The journey was so hard, she didn't let the two children walk and carried them all the way.
There were marks on her shoulders. She knew they were carried in a backpack, but she kept holding on.
In the end, I got a couple of children together, and things are getting better and better.
"What kind of work is it? Is it dangerous? Qi Qiyue, you can't take risks with your child!" Mrs. An asked nervously, her voice so low that Xia Qiyue could hardly hear her.
Xia Qiyue also lowered her voice and said, "I do some handiwork, weaving baskets in Xinghe. In September, the two of us sewed some flowers and plants to decorate the baskets. After we finished them, we could sell them for twenty cents each! There was no basket either."
No matter how big it is, we can still make two or three in a day, and if we go quickly, we can make four or five, which is very profitable!"
When Xia Qiyue came up with this excuse, she had already thought about it. Firstly, there was indeed such a basket for sale in the market. If it was made, it felt like it could be sold. Secondly, she really wanted to make it herself, even though it was not possible.
Sell it for your own use, but she didn't lie, that's what the three of them wanted to do.
But when she said she could do three, four or five in a day, she was just making it up. She didn’t know how many she could do in a day, and she hadn’t done it yet.
It is true that one sold it for twenty cents, because she bought it for twenty cents.
Mrs. An's eyes widened. She looked around and saw that no one was eavesdropping nearby. She quietly said, "Girl in July, can this thing really make money? Your uncle, the patriarch, can weave the basket. That's right."
You brothers can do it, and Jiajia and I can do it, too, after thinking about it. If we can really make money from this... Well, you brothers don't have to go to the mountains to chop firewood every day, and you can't even earn a few copper coins.
…”
Xia Qiyue knew that Wang An would be tempted when she heard about earning money. She also wanted to help the patriarch's family. Liu Jiajia was about to give birth, so having money was better than nothing.
Moreover, their family's care for me can also be felt.
If it really can't be sold by then, then she will find an excuse to take it away, saying that she will help sell it, and then keep it in the space so that she can use it for herself in the future.
"Really, we made some money today. Although it's not much, it's a good start, isn't it? When we make it tomorrow, we'll show it to my aunt first. If it works, it's also a way to make money..."
Mr. An Wang was embarrassed to speak. When he heard this, there was no reason for it. He nodded quickly, but then said with some worry, "If we do it together, will it affect your sales? If there are too many of these things, will it affect your sales?"
Will it be difficult to sell?”
Xia Qiyue had a closer understanding of Wang An's character. He was indeed a good person.
"Auntie, what did you say? We each do our own thing and sell our own thing. If we can't sell it, it's because we didn't do it well. How can we blame you for not being able to sell it if we make it! Don't worry! Just do it with confidence! No.
It will affect it!”
She doesn't really want to sell it, she probably has to buy more to stockpile.
But it has to be if the space can accommodate it.
"This child has a kind heart! Alas, there is no way for people to survive in this world..." Mrs. An Wang sighed, and the matter was finally settled. Their family would follow Xia Qiyue to make this basket.
Then the topic changed, "July, people from your mother's side came here again today, this time it's your grandparents... It seems that the two old people have suffered a lot..."
Xia Qiyue lowered her head and whispered, "No matter what happens, they are still alive, but my parents have... fate has played tricks on people..."
Prince An no longer pities them, they are all his own destiny and cannot blame others.
"Don't worry, our aunts will help you. We have already told them not to let them come to you again! Drive them away! We are just afraid that they will wait for you on the way into the city, so be careful yourself!"
Xia Jiuyue and Xia Xinghe didn't look very good, and their second uncle's family treated them the worst. They didn't even want to help strangers.
However, Xia Jiuyue still had some family affection in her heart. She asked herself, her grandparents were her father's parents, and she felt that it was unfilial to watch them begging but not care.
Xia Xinghe looked at the second sister who had something on her mind. He felt that sometimes he couldn't understand what his sisters were thinking, but this time he could understand the second sister's thoughts.
“Will our biological grandparents push us out when we lose our parents?”
In one sentence, all Xia Yueyue's worries were dispelled.
