Chapter 199: Borrowing Money from Her Mother

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

If Mr. Qin insisted, they would need to pay 20 taels upfront for 5 months.

Although she only had 6 taels of silver on hand, she could save 10 taels quickly as long as she didn’t continue spending.

Then, she would borrow 10 taels from her mother, and 5 months’ rent would be settled.

As for the deposit, she would probably give it to Mr. Qin directly. After all, Mr. Qin had already paid the landlord the deposit.

The deposit would be at most 2 months’ rent, which was 8 taels of silver. She would give it to him a few days later, and he would probably agree.

Of course, this was the worst case scenario. Perhaps, she didn’t even need to pay 5 months’ worth of rent in one go. That would depend on how her conversation with Mr. Qin went.

If she was unlucky and Mr. Qin wasn’t prepared to share his shop, or the landlord didn’t agree, she didn’t even have to spend a single cent.

“If you want to use it, just take it!” Liu Shi said with a smile.

There was no worry in her eyes now.

She had almost 21 taels of silver in her hands. If she gave her daughter 10 taels, she would have 11 taels left.

When the two children went to school, the total cost was about 9 taels. She didn’t have to worry much.

Also, the academy had just started recruiting. She could now earn 700 to 800 wen by selling cold cakes. It would definitely not be a problem for her to buy some things for the two children.

“Hehe, of course I’m borrowing! The money given to you is yours. I’ll give you more when I earn more money in the future!” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

Liu Shi’s face was full of smiles. She liked what she heard.

After all, who didn’t want to have money in their hands?

After the rice was soaked, Lin Xiaoyue began to prepare lunch.

During this time, there were many villagers who came to buy cold cakes, and Xiao Qing brought Lin Xiaozhi to go deal with the customers.

When Aunt Wang came back, Lin Xiaoyue simply let Liu Shi go out to work and cooked with aunt Wang in the kitchen.

At this time, almost all the villagers had returned from the fields. It was the peak period when they came to the Liu family to buy cold cakes. It was difficult for the two children to handle it.

Although Liu Shi was not very quick, she was more familiar with the people in the village. It was better for her to cut the cold cakes and collect money.

In the kitchen, Aunt Wang and Lin Xiaoyue chatted and quickly finished cooking.

Lin Xiaoyue had just finished packing Wang Erya’s food, and Aunt Wang came quickly to deliver the food herself.

Only then did Lin Xiaoyue ask the children to get Wang Zhuanzi so they could eat, and she began to set the table.

Finally, Lin Xiaoyue entered the front yard.

She saw that there were villagers who came to buy cold cakes under the big tree in her house.

Her mother had moved a small table under the big tree and was selling cold cakes there.

A child came over with his family. When he saw Lin Xiaoyue’s swing, he even sat on it.

Looking at the smile on her mother’s face, as well as the way she talked and laughed with the villagers, Lin Xiaoyue could not help but smile.

Her mother was much more cheerful than before…

Not long after, the villagers finally left.

The child who was playing on the swing was also reluctantly called away.

Liu Shi then covered the cold cakes and walked towards Lin Xiaoyue with a smile.

She had only taken a few steps when someone came to buy some cold cakes again.

“Liu Shi, do you still have any cold cakes left?” It was a young woman.

“Yes!” Liu Shi said hurriedly and went to serve her..
