The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

138 Chapter 138: Didn’t Mind Having More Money

Wang Xiaomei did not suspect anything and even nodded her head.

“The woodshed at home is empty. Aunt Song was just saying that you can send some more firewood for them to stock up.”

Wang Dashan smiled.

“Hehe! Yes, that’s right.”

Wang Xiaomei looked at her big brother and took a step forward.

Then, she grabbed Wang Dashan’s hand and shoved something from her hand into his hand.

Realizing what his sister was holding in her hand, Wang Dashan quickly pushed Wang Xiaomei away and took a step back.

Then, he asked in an annoyed tone, “What are you doing?”

Seeing Wang Xiaomei holding a stack of copper coins without saying anything, Wang Dashan continued, “You should save your own money.”

“But…”

“I’m selling firewood now. I have some income every day. I won’t go hungry,” Wang Dashan continued.

Wang Dashan’s heart softened when he saw Wang Xiaomei looking at him with a face full of heartache.

“Don’t worry. After five years, Big Brother will definitely save up enough silver to redeem you!”

Wang Xiaomei’s heart was overwhelmed with a burning sensation.

She wanted badly to say that it was fine even if she stayed with the Song family. She really liked her current life.

However, after thinking about it, she eventually didn’t say anything.

“You can keep your money. If you want to buy something to eat or use, you can buy it for yourself. Don’t always trouble Mrs. Song and the rest.” Wang Dashan finally stepped forward again and held his little sister’s arms with both hands.

“Mrs. Song and the others treat me very well. I don’t lack anything at home,” Wang Xiaomei said immediately.

Big Brother, on the other hand, was looking more tanned and thinner than before.

He had suffered a lot to gather firewood to sell.

Wang Dashan smiled.

“That’s because Mrs. Song and the others are good people. Just stay in the Song family and do whatever Mrs. Song wants you to do. You’ll be fine!”

“Mm-hmm!”

On the other side.

After Qin Xiaoyao met up with Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaomei, Big Girl Li gave Qin Xiaoyao an update and informed her that Liu Xiaomei would tag along to learn how to weave straw sandals in the future.

Qin Xiaoyao agreed happily and brought Liu Xiaomei to look for Song Que to sign the contract and collect the fees.

“You two can learn from Yun’er in the future. We’ll implement the contract in three days. After that, you’ll have to deliver the goods to me,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

“Okay!” The two of them quickly agreed.

Liu Xiaomei, in particular, nodded the most vehemently.

Qin Xiaoyao gave a laugh.

“Then let’s go. I’ll take you guys to look for Yun’er.”

The two of them indicated their agreement.

Qin Xiaoyao then led the two of them to the alley.

Song Yun was weaving straw sandals there and was overjoyed to see the three of them.

Then, she quickly settled Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaomei down and became their teacher.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao leave with peace of mind.

After leaving the alley, she went to look for Madam Liu.

She updated Madam Liu on the new arrangement with Wang Dashan to send firewood to their house and that Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaomei were going to come to their house to learn how to weave straw sandals.

“Then I’ll make more dishes for lunch for the next few days,” Madam Liu said as she put away the needle and thread.

“It’s getting late. We’ll go and cook,” she added.

“Alright.”

For the next two days, Big Girl Li brought Liu Xiaomei to report to the Song family’s residence every day.

As the two of them learned very seriously, they finally completely mastered the technique of weaving straw sandals and could end their apprenticeship.

However, the two of them were reluctant to leave the Song family.

This was because they ate and lived well at the Song family’s place, and the place was cool.

Compared to the Liu family’s environment back in Brook Falls Village, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, departure was inevitable.

On this day, when it was almost dusk, Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaomei left Mountain Spring Town and went home.

After exiting the town gate and walking along the main road, the two of them looked a little listless. They were not filled with joy that they had mastered the skill of weaving straw sandals at all.

“Sister-in-law, can I live with you after you have bought a courtyard dwelling?” Liu Xiaomei suddenly asked Big Girl Li.

Big Girl Li’s eyes became despondent.

“By the time I buy the courtyard dwelling, you’ll probably be married. Why would you be staying with me?” she replied.

When she heard this, Liu Xiaomei’s face fell.

“Sister-in-law, why do you think Father and Mother don’t agree to us buying a courtyard dwelling in town?”

“Mrs. Song’s courtyard dwelling is so nice! There is a well, and the place is cool. There are also fewer mosquitoes.”

Big Girl Li sighed, and her eyes brightened as she looked at Liu Xiaomei.

“Don’t even think about it. They can’t bear to give up their land in the countryside. Also, Erniu isn’t married yet, so our family doesn’t have the money to buy a courtyard dwelling.”

“Oh…” Liu Xiaomei responded and didn’t say anything else.

At the Song family’s residence, Qin Xiaoyao and Wang Xiaomei pushed the handcart out onto the streets after dinner.

That was right. She had decided to bring Wang Xiaomei to set up their stall in the night market.

Qin Xiaoyao pushed the handcart to the busiest street at night in the Western District.

Before long, the sky turned dark.

As more people came to the street to enjoy the food, business actually boomed.

The two of them shouted and sold their goods at the same time, and soon they were kept busy.

After a while, Madam Liu arrived with Song Yun and Song Ye.

When she arrived at their stall, she didn’t leave and stayed to help.

In the beginning, Madam Liu and Song Yun were still embarrassed.

In the end, Song Ye’s earnest shouting made the two of them laugh, and they followed suit soon.

The large family surrounded the handcart to sell woven bamboo products and straw sandals. They seemed to have gained some popularity and even attracted some customers.

When the number of people on the street gradually decreased, the quantity of woven bamboo products left on the handcart had also decreased substantially.

As she pushed the handcart back, Qin Xiaoyao indicated they could continue with the night market business.

After that, she decided that henceforth they would set up a stall in the night market at night.

When they got home, everyone washed up and went to bed.

By the time Qin Xiaoyao finished washing up and returned to her room, it was already very late.

She thought that the man on the other side of the bed had already fallen asleep, but the moment she lay down, the man turned over.

Qin Xiaoyao then saw the man’s attractive eyes looking at her under the moonlight.

Thinking that she might have woken him up, Qin Xiaoyao spoke up, “Hubby, you’re not asleep yet?”

“Mm-hmm,” Song Que replied.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao didn’t say anything else, Song Que suddenly asked, “Is our family very short of money now?”

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.

Then, she nodded.

Of course, who would complain about having more money?

Seeing Song Que’s frown, Qin Xiaoyao thought of something and said, “There’s no problem with food and clothing.”

“But soon, you have to return to the academy. Ye’er is also at the age to enter the academy. By then, the expenses will increase.”

“Besides, we just bought a courtyard dwelling. Shouldn’t we earn some money to save up? We won’t panic if we have money in our hands, right?”

“I’m not going back to the academy. I will teach Ye’er so he doesn’t need to go to the academy either,” Song Que said.

He was a little surprised that Qin Xiaoyao actually had the intention of letting him and Ye’er enroll in the academy.

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, then she thought of something.

“Are you… worried that you can’t keep up with the learning progress at the academy?” Qin Xiaoyao regretted it the moment she said it.

Like her, her attractive husband had inherited all of his predecessor’s memories.

Furthermore, he was also a prophet, so his learning ability was naturally not bad.

“Er… what I meant was, since you’ve already transmigrated here, you’ll have to adapt to your new identity.”

“In this era, if you want to make a name for yourself, the more reliable way is to take the imperial examination.”

“For yourself and our family, I think you should try!”

Qin Xiaoyao smiled again when she saw Song Que looking at her.

“I’m not a man myself. Otherwise, I’d want to try too!”
