48 Chapter 48: Buying Eggs

Aunt Liu looked at her daughter-in-law with more than double the satisfaction in her eyes.

She had been worried that her daughter-in-law would not like her second son and youngest daughter.

After what happened last night, she was even more worried.

Now it seemed that she had been thinking too much.

!!

Like all old people, she liked to have a harmonious family where everyone loved each other. She naturally liked it when her daughter-in-law treated her own daughter so well.

“Oh, that’s right!” Big Girl Li suddenly remembered something.

Then, she took out some copper coins from her pocket and started counting again.

After counting to 16, she passed the copper coins to her mother-in-law.

“This is from my Sister Sanya. It’s a total of 16 copper coins. She asked to buy eggs from you.”

“She asked you to sell them to her according to the market price and see how many eggs you can give her.”

Seeing that her mother-in-law was about to speak, Big Girl Li emphasized again. “We follow whatever the market price is. Sister Sanya has already said that we are not allowed to give her more, or she won’t want them. And she won’t come to our house to buy eggs anymore in the future.”

Aunt Liu was taken aback.

Once again, she sighed, thinking about how good Qin Sanya was.

“Alright! Then I’ll send 16 eggs to the Song family. I’ll go get the eggs!” Aunt Liu went back to the house without even taking the money.

Big Girl Li quickly took two steps forward and put the copper coins into her mother-in-law’s pocket.

“Don’t forget the money,” she said with a smile.

Aunt Liu laughed.

“You silly girl…” she said, then continued walking forward.

After a while, Aunt Liu emerged from the house.

She was holding a basket in her hand. There were exactly 16 white eggs in the basket.

“Buying eggs at this time means she’s probably waiting to cook them. Send them to her now.”

Big Girl Li quickly nodded.

She took the basket and prepared to go out.

Before she left, she thought of something again and turned around to look at her mother-in-law and little sister-in-law.

“As I mentioned before, our vegetables can also be sent to Fortune Mansion tomorrow. When are we going to fields to harvest them?”

A smile appeared on Aunt Liu’s face.

“Xiaomei and I will go out after getting ready. Leave this matter to us. You go ahead, don’t worry,” she said.

“Alright!” Big Girl Li replied and left.

After Big Girl Li had left for some time, the mother and daughter finally looked away in the courtyard.

“Mother…” Liu Xiaomei called to her mother. She felt that the two copper coins in her palm were very warm.

Aunt Liu turned around and glanced at her daughter.

“I think your sister-in-law is going to have a bright future.” Aunt Liu eventually opened her mouth and said this.

Then, she seemed to recall something.

“The Song family…”

“Never mind. Let’s make a trip tomorrow. She helped your sister-in-law, so we can’t possibly not show our appreciation.”

“Yes.” Liu Xiaomei nodded her head.

This was the first time Liu Xiaomei had seen her sister-in-law acting so respectfully to someone, addressing Qin Xiaoyao as her “Sister Sanya” over and over again.

She was also very curious about the Song family’s sister-in-law.

She wondered if she could work with the Song family’s sister-in-law like her own sister-in-law when she grew up.

“Alright. Pack up and get ready to go out. We’ll go to the field and harvest some vegetables so that your sister-in-law can send them to town to sell for some money,” said Aunt Liu.

“Okay.”

The mother-daughter pair then gathered their tools and left the house.

Meanwhile, Big Girl Li had already arrived at the Song family’s house in a cheerful mood. She gave the eggs to Qin Xiaoyao.

When Qin Xiaoyao saw exactly 16 eggs, she was delighted.

After taking the basket, she took out the eggs and put them into two big bowls.

Then, she returned the basket to Big Girl Li.

Qin Xiaoyao was amused by Big Girl Li’s description of her mother-in-law’s wonderful expression when the latter received the money.

“Alright. You can tell me, but don’t tell anyone else about this. If your mother-in-law finds out, she’ll deal with you.” Qin Xiaoyao gave her a mock threatening look.

Big Girl Li was still very happy nonetheless.

“I know. I can’t be bothered to tell others at any rate!” She said smugly.

She then stopped smiling and said, “But then again, although my mother-in-law is a little greedy, she’s actually a good person.”

After that, she started to talk about her mother-in-law.

As Qin Xiaoyao listened, she washed the rice at the same time.

“That’s why I’m contented.” After a long speech, Big Girl Li finally sighed.

...

“It’s good as long as you know that!” Qin Xiaoyao replied and prepared to start a fire.

Only then did Big Girl Li have the thought of leaving.

In the end, her eyes swept over the pile of Chinese yams in the corner of the room.

Thinking of the taste of the Chinese yam, she went weak in the knees.

“Sister Sanya, can you sell me three catties of Chinese yam?” She tried to resist the temptation, but in the end, Big Girl Li couldn’t stand it anymore.

Qin Xiaoyao was surprised.

Big Girl Li laughed. “Only Daniu and I have tasted Chinese yam. Mother-in-law and the others haven’t tried it yet. I’m thinking of buying some back to let them have a taste.”

She had seen how Sister Sanya process the Chinese yams before stir-frying them, so she knew how to cook them when she brought them back.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled. “Sure!”

She immediately said, “You can weigh it yourself.”

Luckily, the scale had not been put away yet. It was still sitting on the small table.

...

“Alright!” Big Girl Li quickly agreed.

Then, she went to take some Chinese yams to weigh.

After weighing three catties, she counted 15 copper coins and placed them on the table.

“I’ll leave the money here. I’ll be leaving then.” Hugging the Chinese yams, she bade them farewell with a smile.

“Alright,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

She continued to make straw sandals while starting the fire.

Since she had nothing to do, she might as well make straw sandals to sell for money.

At night, at the Liu family’s house.

Aunt Liu complained about her daughter-in-law being too wasteful for buying such expensive food while eating the delicious Chinese yam.

For the first time, Uncle Liu stood firmly on his daughter-in-law’s side.

“You ate so much, yet the food still can’t block your mouth. This is the food that our daughter-in-law paid for using her own money to let our family try something new. Why are you feeling heartache?”

Liu Erniu and Liu Xiaomei looked at each other and giggled inwardly.

Big Girl Li almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.

“Hmph! Even if it isn’t the family’s money, my heart will still ache! These 15 copper coins are enough to get one catty of fatty meat,” Aunt Liu said, looking at Big Girl Li.

“Okay! I know, Mother!” Big Girl Li replied with a smile.

At the same time, she used her chopsticks to pick up another piece of Chinese yam for Aunt Liu.

She knew it. Her mother-in-law wanted to eat meat.

No problem. When she went to town tomorrow, she would buy two catties from Uncle Qin!

Hah! Everyone should address her as Tycoon Girl now.

Aunt Liu didn’t know what her daughter-in-law was thinking. She picked up the Chinese yam and ate it.

It had to be said that this thing which cost five copper coins per catty did indeed taste good…

At the same time, over at the Song family.

After dinner, Madam Liu, together with her daughter and Qin Xiaoyao, continued their hard work through the night again.

They were all thinking of making more straw sandals for Qin Xiaoyao to bring along to sell in town.

After her persuasion fell on deaf ears twice, Qin Xiaoyao had no choice but to scoop up some water and take a bath first.

After taking a bath, she had to force the mother and daughter to stop work before they relented.

The three of them hadn’t taken a bath for a few days. Under Qin Xiaoyao’s persuasion, the three of them took a bath before going to bed.

This was the first time Qin Xiaoyao returned to her room before the mother and the two children.

After lying on the bed with a creak, Qin Xiaoyao blew out the light and closed her eyes.

Cough… At this moment, a cough could be heard beside her.

Qin Xiaoyao got a shock.

What was wrong with her attractive husband?

She wanted to ask, but when she thought about how much the other party hated her, she held it in and didn’t make a sound or movement.

Cough, cough… At this moment, Song Que coughed twice.
