128 Chapter 128: No Money To Redeem Her
She only spoke after her father had finished scolding her.
“I still have to buy both the meat and lard. Since you won’t sell it to me, I can only buy it from outsiders.”
Seeing Qin Dazhuang’s face turning dark, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “I’m only coming to you because I don’t want to let outsiders earn my money, okay?”
“Besides, it’s just two pigs and 200 catties of lard. They don’t cost a lot.”
!!
“I’m now delivering groceries to the Fortune Mansion and Fortune Restaurant. I’m also setting up a stall to sell goods, so I’m making quite a lot of money.”
“Also, my husband and mother-in-law have not been idle at home. One is copying books, while the other is weaving straw sandals. To put it bluntly…” Qin Xiaoyao turned to look at her father.
“Right now, my family is even more well-off than your Qin family.”
Qin Dazhuang felt himself choking.
When she saw this, Qin Xiaoyao’s tone became gentler.
“At worst, you can ask Big Brother and Second Brother to help me replace two smaller pigs.”
“No matter what happens, I still have to make the smoked meat and fry the lard.”
Seeing that Qin Dazhuang’s expression was still disapproving, Qin Xiaoyao muttered in a low voice, “This is something that our entire family has agreed upon. My husband and mother-in-law didn’t object, but you did.”
Qin Dazhuang’s face froze.
Looking at his daughter’s aggrieved expression, his sense of self-righteousness vanished in an instant.
“Fine! I’ll go back and tell your big brother and second brother,” he finally relented.
She was right. The Song family didn’t object, so what right did he have to object?
Anyway, the money was earned by his daughter, and buying meat and oil was not really a waste of money. Why did he have to interfere so much with his daughter’s life?
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao smile.
“Thank you, Father!”
After exchanging a few more words with Qin Dazhuang, Qin Xiaoyao quickly left.
She still had to go to the market on South Street to set up her stall with Big Girl Li, but she had wasted so much time in the morning.
Oh yes. She still had to discuss with Big Girl Li how they were going to set up separate stalls in the future.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Song family gradually got used to the life in town.
While they enjoyed the clean and convenient life in the town, they were also troubled by the fact that they had to spend money to buy stuff like firewood.
That was right. Four days after moving into the new house, Qin Xiaoyao finally spent money for the first time and bought two bundles of firewood.
Although she bought two big bundles of firewood for five copper coins, Madam Liu’s heart still ached when she saw it.
She even said that her family could go out of town to chop firewood, and there was no need to spend money to buy it at all.
“The entrance fee is one copper coin per person. If we want to bring more things in, it will only cost at most three copper coins.”
“It’s a waste of time to go out of town to chop firewood. If you have the time, you might as well weave two pairs of straw sandals instead, and you can easily recoup the money to buy firewood.” Qin Xiaoyao told Madam Liu as she brought the firewood into the woodshed.
In truth, there were also people who went out of town to pick firewood, but most of them went out with their handcarts. Then, they would return with a big load of firewood on their handcarts. They could only save money in this way.
However, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t want to do this.
It was for the same reason. If she had the time to do that, she would rather make a few more pairs of straw sandals or water the vegetables at home.
Speaking of water, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it hadn’t rained for a long time.
Sometimes, even if they saw dark clouds, the clouds would be blown away by the wind fairly quickly.
When Madam Liu heard this, she did some calculations and found that her daughter-in-law’s words actually made sense.
After that, her heart didn’t ache as much anymore.
Then, Madam Liu said, “You won’t let me make more straw sandals. When the pork is done and the lard is fried, I have to go to the embroidery workshop to take on a big embroidery job.”
The Qin family had just sent a pig.
She and Xiaomei worked hard for a whole day to cure the meat.
Some lard had also been sent over, and they had been quite busy in the kitchen for the past two days.
Following this, the remaining pork and lard would still be sent over, but it wouldn’t keep them busy for more than a few days.
Sigh! In the past, she had thought that doing such things was nothing major.
However, when she really did it, she realized that it was quite tiring, especially since the weather had been very hot recently.
She was a little envious of her daughter, who could weave straw sandals every day.
Not only was the work easy, but it also earned money.
Of course, she wanted to do embroidery more.
Every time she saw the embroidery frame in the room, her hands would itch.
She would go and take on a big embroidery job. After the embroidery was done, one set of embroidery could be sold for a few taels or even dozens of taels of silver. Her skill was that good.
“Alright!” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
Madam Liu also laughed.
Not far away, Wang Xiaomei seemed to have fallen into a daze.
Today was the fifth day of the agreement between her brother and the Song family.
Her big brother had promised her that he would bring money to redeem her today.
...
However, it was already afternoon, and her big brother and father had not arrived yet.
Even though she had already decided to stay with the Song family, her big brother’s absence made her feel like she had been abandoned.
Qin Xiaoyao and Madam Liu both noticed Wang Xiaomei’s expression, but they pretended they didn’t see it.
Everyone had a tacit understanding and didn’t ask Wang Xiaomei to do work.
Wang Xiaomei was a sensible girl, however. After she came back to her senses, she took the initiative to help out.
It was evening.
Finally, someone knocked on the Song family’s door.
Wang Xiaomei’s face brightened up as she looked towards the courtyard door and quickly ran to open it.
It was indeed Wang Dashan.
However, Wang Dashan’s current condition was not good.
His face was swollen and bruised. There were also injuries where parts of his limbs were exposed.
...
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao quickly asked Wang Xiaomei to bring Wang Dashan in and invited him to the hall.
“What happened?” Qin Xiaoyao frowned and asked Wang Dashan, a sense of foreboding welling up in her heart.
Song Que and Madam Liu, who had entered the hall after him, also frowned when they saw this.
Wang Dashan lowered his head, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face as he struggled inwardly.
In the end, he still raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaoyao and the others.
“I… I didn’t manage to get the money back,” he said with a sobbing tone.
No one was surprised.
This was because everyone expected it.
Following that, everyone present saw Wang Dashan slide down from the bench and kneel in front of Qin Xiaoyao and Madam Liu.
“Aunt Song, Mrs. Song! I beg you to give me some more time. I’ll definitely gather enough money to redeem Xiaomei!”
Madam Liu was taken aback.
Qin Xiaoyao, on the other hand, frowned.
“Get up first,” she said.
“No, please promise me, Mrs. Song! Please give me some more time!” Wang Dashan did not move.
Seeing Qin Xiaoyao’s frown deepen, Wang Xiaomei hurried forward to help her big brother up.
“Big Brother, get up first!”
After spending the last few days with Mrs. Song, Wang Xiaomei understood her character somewhat.
Not only would Big Brother not gain Mrs. Song’s sympathy, but it would also increase her disgust.
Wang Dashan could feel that his sister was using a lot of strength to pull him up, and Qin Xiaoyao didn’t say anything. In the end, Wang Dashan chose to cooperate with his younger sister.
After Wang Dashan stood up, Qin Xiaoyao said indifferently, “First, tell me. Why didn’t you get the money back? Also, how did you get all these injuries?”
Thinking of what happened after he went to the Qian family, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Wang Dashan’s face, but he didn’t reply.
“Big Brother…” His younger sister shook his arm.
Wang Dashan then explained what happened.
It turned out that Wang Dashan had brought his father to the Qian family two days ago.
However, the Qian family refused to admit they had received the deposit that the Wang family had given out. They even insist that the Wang family compensate them for divorcing Madam Qian without reason.
