Chapter Eighty-Eight: A White Lies
Seeing the five people coming back, An Wang's family rushed up in a hurry.
"July, you girl doesn't know how important it is, why did you come back so late? How dangerous is it for you to take the children into town? Even if it's daytime, what did you do before you came back after dark? ”
Xia Qiyue listened to An Wang's not very good tone and said her words, but her heart was warm.
"Auntie... Isn't it just to earn some silver, busy until now... Hush! Let's go in and talk! ”
Xia Qiyue whispered a smile and said in An Wang's ear, and then in front of the eyes of others, he pulled An Wang's into his shed.
When An Wang heard that it was related to silver, he also shut up, and hurriedly followed in.
Even though he knew that the broken shed was useless, he 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 back basket, and Xia Jiuyue also tidied up the bedding and let the two children lie in the quilt.
The two of them are very tired from playing today, so let them sleep quickly, children always grow up while sleeping.
An Wang didn't bother the sisters to put the children to sleep, and when the two children were laid down, Xia Qiyue pulled An Wang to sit down, a little hesitant to tell her what she had done that day.
The matter of selling tea eggs can't be said, she doesn't have eggs, even if she collects eggs, she can't collect so many eggs so quickly, and she still has time to cook and sell, but the halva thing can still be said, but this white sugar is another problem.
It's a trouble to have too many secrets, and I don't know where to start.
Thinking about what to say, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she made up a blind call: "Auntie, I have walked around the market a few times in the past two days, and I thought of a way to earn some silver, so it's too late to do it, and the black light is still weird and scary..."
An Wang's explanation after listening to Xia Qiyue's explanation is to earn money, first of all, he is happy that this child can work hard for life.
When she was in the village before, although she didn't have much contact with Zichen's family, she often heard people gossip.
What I heard the most was how obedient the four daughters-in-law bought by Brother Anbang's family were, and there was no competition with the sisters-in-law, but they also ignored the two children and didn't care about them.
Some people will even say that Zichen's family is obedient and stunned, without the slightest idea of their own, although it is a good thing not to fight for anything, but seeing that she has no pursuit of life, the child doesn't care.
But look at the moment, this girl has a lot of ideas, and she knows a lot of things, and she obviously has so much silver in her hand, but she still takes the opportunity to stay here to earn silver, and she has nothing to say about the two children.
It was so hard along the way, she didn't let her two children walk, and she carried it all the way.
She had strangulation marks on her shoulders, and she knew it was all on her back, but she kept going.
In the end, I pulled a pair of children over, and they got better and better.
"What's the job? Is it dangerous? July, you can't take risks with your children! An Wang asked nervously, and his voice was so low that Xia Qiyue could hardly hear it.
Xia Qiyue also lowered his voice and said, "It's to do some manual work, Xinghe weaves the basket, and in September, the two of us sew some flowers and plants to decorate the basket, and after it's done, one can be sold for 20 yuan!" The basket is not very big, and we can make two or three at the end of the day, and we can make four or five if we are fast, which is profitable! ”
Xia Qiyue had already thought about it when she found this excuse, first, there were indeed baskets like this sold in the bazaar, and if she did it, it would definitely be able to sell it, and second, she really had to do it herself, although she didn't sell it, she used it herself, but she didn't lie, the three of them just wanted to do this.
But she said that she could do three, four, four or five a day, this is what she made up blindly, and she didn't know how many she could do a day, but she hadn't done it yet.
It's also true that one sells for twenty wen, because she bought it for twenty wen.
An Wang's eyes widened, and she looked left and right, and when she saw that there was no one eavesdropping nearby, she quietly said, "July girl, can this thing really make money?" That basket your patriarch uncle can weave, even your brothers can, I and Jiajia will also be able to sew flowers and plants, if you really earn money... Alas, your brothers don't have to go up the mountain every day to chop wood, and they can't earn a few copper plates..."
Xia Qiyue knew that An Wang's family would definitely be tempted when she heard that she was earning silver, and she also deliberately wanted to help the patriarch's family, Liu Jiajia was also about to give birth, and it was better to have silver than nothing.
And their family also feels the care of themselves.
If she really can't sell it by then, then she will find an excuse to take it, just say that she will help sell it, and then put it into the space, and she can use it herself in the future.
"Really, we're making money today, it's not much, but it's a good start, isn't it? Tomorrow we will make it and show it to your aunt first, if it works, it is also a way to get money..."
An Wangshi was embarrassed to speak, and when he heard this, he nodded quickly, but said with some concern, "If we do it together, will it affect your sales?" Will it be difficult to sell if there are too many of these things? ”
Xia Qiyue has a closer understanding of An Wang's character, and he is indeed a good person.
"Auntie, what do you say? Let's each do our own and sell our own, if we can't sell it, we can't do it well, how can we blame you for not being able to sell it! Feel relieved! Don't worry! It won't affect you! ”
She doesn't really want to sell it, and it's likely that she will have to buy some more to stock up.
But it has to be if the space can be placed.
"This kid is kind-hearted! Alas, this world doesn't give people a way to live..."An Wang sighed, this matter is settled, and their family wants to follow Xia Qiyue to make this basket.
Then the topic changed to "July, today the people from your mother's side are here again, this time it's your grandparents... It seems that the two old men have suffered a lot..."
Xia Qiyue lowered his head and whispered, "No matter what, they are still alive, and my father and mother have been... Creation makes people..."
Wang An no longer pities them, no matter what, they are all created by themselves, and they can't complain about it.
"Don't worry, our aunts will help you, and we have already said that we will not let them come to you again! Drove people away! I'm afraid that they will be waiting for you on the way into the city, so be careful yourself! ”
Xia Jiujiu and Xia Xinghe's faces are not very good-looking, the second uncle's family is the worst for them, and they don't want to help strangers when they help them.
However, Xia Jiujiu still had some family affection in her heart, and asked herself, her grandparents were her father's parents, and she felt that she was watching them begging but she didn't care about being a little unfilial.
Xia Xinghe looked at the second sister's heart, he couldn't understand the sisters' thoughts sometimes, but this time he understood the second sister's thoughts.
"Will our grandparents push us out when we lose our parents?"
In a word, Xia Jiujiu's worries were all dispelled.
