Chapter 269. Setting up a stall
Believing in her own man was one thing. She still had to pay attention to defending her marriage on the other hand.
After hearing from Third Sister-in-law, Lin Qing He dropped the matter.
Instead, she chatted with Third Sister-in-law about Wu Ni's results.
"With these grades, she has to work harder to enter the county's junior high. She got to take advantage of this summer vacation and try to memorize more poems and songs and rewrite from memory. I will give them two test papers in a few days and have a go," Lin Qing He said.
"We have troubled you." Third Sister-in-law responded at once.
"It's not much trouble. However, studying does exhaust the children's brain. Third Sister-in-law, you and Eldest Sister-in-law shouldn't be prudent. It doesn't cost much. The current conditions are better than before. Let them eat two eggs a day as a supplement." Lin Qing He persuaded.
This was why she didn't want their eggs.
They basically don’t buy meat much. The only meaty thing in the family was these eggs.
There were times, they had some fish, shrimp, loach, eel, and so on. Obviously, the eggs were the most. She felt it wasn't right to take their eggs.
She told Third Sister-in-law to let Eldest Sister-in-law know when she comes back. Then Lin Qing He will go home.
As soon as she came out of the entrance of old Zhou's house, Liu Ni followed.
As the girl gets older, she became more and more troublesome.
It was true that she was smart but obviously too smart. Smart people know how to make themselves likable.
However, overly smart ones will only increase people's dislike.
"Fourth Aunt, wait for me." called out Liu Ni as she followed.
Lin Qing He glanced at her: "Liu Ni, what's the matter?"
"Fourth Aunt, are you going to stay in the capital in the future and won't come back?" Liu Ni asked outright.
Lin Qing He smiled: "How is this possible? My hometown will always be my home. This is our root. Even if we go out and develop in the future, people can't forget their roots. Liu Ni, don't you agree?"
Liu Ni responded: "Fourth Aunt, if you stay in the capital in the future, can I go over? I can do chores for you. I can clean up everything that needs to clean up at home. I can also do laundry and cooking."
Lin Qing He understood then. See, she was right. This girl was too clever.
"Not a shadow in sight. You can just help your mother with chores at home." Lin Qing He finished and turned around to return home.
Liu Ni watched her back and frowned: "She's having a good life and doesn't even promote her niece. So cruel. No wonder she can't give birth to a daughter in this life."
"Liu Ni, what are you saying!" Wu Ni glared.
Liu Ni was startled. She turned to look at her, and said disgruntedly: "Don't you know that people can scare people to death? No sound when walking at all!"
"Saying bad things about Fourth Aunt and still dare to quibble when I heard it?" Wu Ni responded.
"Nonsense. Fourth Aunt is so nice, how could I possibly say bad things about Fourth Aunt." Liu Ni returned with a harrumph and then turned to leave.
Wu Ni was so vexed that she went back in and tattled to her mother.
Third Sister-in-law frowned and said: "Don't worry about her. Your fourth aunt isn't someone a little girl like her can scheme."
After her response, she wanted to sigh.
Really, this second branch. Don't they know how their second girl turn out? Everyone took it all in. Why didn't that couple see it?
Lin Qing He didn't care about this. Like Third Sister-in-law said, would she fall into a scheme by a little girl like Liu Ni.
In fact, if she was a good one, she can bring her over to help out when she opens a shop or something in the capital. It won't be a matter to pay a salary.
However, with Liu Ni's behavior, who would dare to bring her?
Just those eyes. When it wandered around, it showed unruliness. This made people feel uneasy at sight.
Lin Qing He threw it to the back of her mind. When she got home, she continued to read her book and silently jot down her notes.
Now that the summer harvest was over, Zhou Qing Bai was the only one who worked in the field. Father Zhou had breakfast early in the morning and herded the ducks out.
As for Mother Zhou, she had gone over and chat with other old ladies at the moment.
Halfway through studying, Lin Qing He realized that it was a bit muggy.
Mother Zhou came back a short while later. Lin Qing He asked, "Mother, judging by the weather, do you think it's going to rain?"
"I feel like it's going to rain." Mother Zhou answered.
The weather was too sultry. Lin Qing He cooked a simple lunch because Zhou Qing Bai was still working. So he had mantou with congee and soup. There were some side dishes.
After lunchtime, Lin Qing He hopped on her bicycle and came to the city.
As for Er Wa and San Wa, they had to continue attending their supplementary classes at school.
Since the recovery of the college entrance examination, both the community's elementary school and the community's junior high school had begun a new chapter. They were working hard to train students.
Of course, these summer supplemntary lessons cost nothing. There weren't many people who took up these lessons. A requirement was top grades. Both Er Wa and San Wa participated.
Lin Qing He came over and dropped by Shen Yu's place.
Shen Yu was very happy to see her coming: "Sister, what are you going to buy today?"
"Weigh out some dried shrimp skins, red dates, and dried longans for me." Lin Qing He smiled.
There were a lot of things she wanted to buy. Like milk powder. She bought a pack of them. It'll be kept for her and Zhou Qing Bai to drink at night for health maintenance.
Also two large watermelons.
After she finished shopping, she put the packed bag aside. Lin Qing He said in a low voice, "How are they selling?"
"Pretty well." In response to this, Shen Yu smiled and pulled Lin Qing He outside to speak: "There are still some left. I estimate it will be sold out in a while."
In fact, when Lin Qing He came here, she knew that business wasn't bad at the sight of Shen Yu's upbeat face.
Although those clothes styles seemed a bit simpler in Lin Qing He's eyes, the styles were really good in this county.
The female fellows absolutely couldn't take a step when they saw it.
But the current environment was no longer what it used to be. This year, Lin Qing He saw in Hai City that some people even started to wear skirts that hadn't been seen for a long time.
So, if this kind of clothes were brought over here to sell, the business will definitely be great.
Lin Qing He earned almost seven yuan for each piece of clothing or men’s belts. Shen Yu and her colleagues increase the price by two or three yuan. From Hai City to the county city, ten yuan's price difference wasn't too expensive.
If they went to Hai City instead?
However, clothes made a small profit. Products like electric fans and watches made the biggest earning.
But so far, it was really hard to source them. When the circumstance reaches another stage next year, she will take Zhou Qing Bai to the capital and let him set up a street stall.
Believing in her own man was one thing. She still had to pay attention to defending her marriage on the other hand.

ReplyDeleteThis Liu Ni is a really bad news, thank goodness LQH isn't one to care about such a thing as saving face
