74 Chapter 74: Song Que Was Unwilling to Build a House

Liu Xiaomei saw that her sister-in-law did not reject her and smiled.

“I also want to be like Sister-in-law and become a capable person,” she said.

Big Girl Li felt somewhat important when she heard her.

“That’s a good idea, but your brother and I aren’t at home. You and Mother are in charge of the house now.”

!!

“If you’re gone, how can Mother handle everything by herself?” she said.

Although she wanted to lend her little sister-in-law a hand, she did not dare to agree to it flippantly.

Notwithstanding the fact that this matter required her Sister Sanya’s consent, her mother-in-law might not be willing to allow the girl to follow Big Girl Li.

After all, even though her mother-in-law loved her daughter, there was still a difference between a son and a daughter.

Her little sister-in-law was already 12 years old and would be of marriageable age in two years. After that, they would have to talk about marriage.

Once she got married, she would be a member of another family.

“Yes, it can be done! It would be fine as long as we kept less livestock and poultry at home! As long as I can earn more money, isn’t it more worthwhile than raising those?” It would also cost money to get food to raise those creatures.

“Besides, my work is definitely easier than Sister-in-law’s. When I return home, I will also help with the housework and will not let Mother suffer alone.” Liu Xiaomei added, afraid that Big Girl Li would refuse.

Big Girl Li looked at her little sister-in-law again.

Seeing her sister-in-law’s sincere expression, she thought about it and finally relented.

“Alright. I know what you’re thinking. When Sister Sanya is short of people, I’ll mention it to her. ”

Liu Xiaomei’s face lit up instantly.

“Thank…” she was about to thank her sister-in-law, but was stopped by Big Girl Li.

“Don’t thank me yet. Sister Sanya is not short of people for the time being. And I only promised that when she needs people, I’ll help you. At that point, whether she wants to use you or not, and whether Mother is willing to allow you or not, I can’t decide,” Big Girl Li said.

“It’s fine! I’m already very grateful that Sister-in-law can help me with this!” Liu Xiaomei said hurriedly.

She looked at Big Girl Li with an earnest expression.

Big Girl Li was satisfied and understood a bit more about her little sister-in-law.

Then, Liu Xiaomei quickly got busy in the kitchen.

Big Girl Li left her alone and went to the yard.

After a while, she saw her mother-in-law come back with her little brother-in-law.

“It’s done! Bring Erniu to the Song family! Just follow your Sister Sanya’s orders and proceed accordingly!” Aunt Liu said to Big Girl Li.

She didn’t know when it started, but Aunt Liu had also begun to address the Song family’s daughter-in-law as ‘Sanya.’

It could only be surmised that her daughter-in-law’s constant mention of Sister Sanya must have also affected her.

She had already told her man and her second son about letting her second son help Qin Sanya deliver goods to town.

She was not the only one who agreed. The father and son both agreed too.

Although it was only a temporary job, if he did it well, perhaps their second son could take the opportunity to get a job from the Song family.

The example of their daughter-in-law was right in front of them. The son’s future was much more important than the daughter-in-law’s future.

Big Girl Li did not know that her mother-in-law was thinking about this. She called out to Liu Erniu and went out.

When she arrived at the Song family’s house, she happened to see Qin Xiaoyao fetching water from a small stream.

“You can come earlier after breakfast tomorrow! Follow me to deliver the goods. I’ll talk to the people at Fortune Mansion when we arrive. You’ll be the only one to send the delivery thereafter.”

Liu Erniu was a little apprehensive.

“Yes, Mrs. S… Song,” he stammered.

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled when she saw this.

“There’s no need to be nervous. Your sister-in-law and I are good sisters. Since you’re her brother, you’re also my brother.”

“Work hard from now on. I won’t mistreat you if you do your job well,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

She wanted to pat Liu Erniu’s shoulder but decided against it.

It was ancient times after all, so she had to be careful.

“Yes!” Liu Erniu smiled at once as he replied to Qin Xiaoyao.

His heart that had been suspended in trepidation finally settled down.

“Good,” Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

She then looked at Big Girl Li.

“You’ll have to come over tomorrow too. Let’s go to the river again and see if we can haul in some more fish.”

Big Girl Li nodded.

“After that, I’ll go to town with Erniu. You…” Qin Xiaoyao paused.

“You can just wait at home. When I’m back, we’ll go into the mountains together,” she continued.

The main reason was that the areas deep in the mountains were dangerous. Even though the mountain they were going to was on the outskirts of the deep mountains, it was still part of the deep mountain area.

It would be fine if Qin Xiaoyao was with her, as she could ensure the safety of Big Girl.

She didn’t feel at ease letting Big Girl go alone.

“What’s the point of waiting at home? I’ll go alone first. Sister Sanya, when you come back, you can come to the mountains to look for me!” Big Girl Li smiled and replied.

She didn’t take Qin Xiaoyao’s worry seriously at all.

...

After all, she had been to the mountains with her Sister Sanya so many times, and they rarely even met small animals, let alone jackals or wolves, tigers or leopards.

“Just listen to me!” Qin Xiaoyao instructed.

“When Erniu and I go to town, it will take slightly over two hours. Even if you go into the mountains first, you won’t be able to do much.”

Initially, she had wanted to make a trip back to her parents’ house to pay back the money her father had loaned her.

Now it seemed that it would be better if she returned the money the day after tomorrow.

She was worried that the Big Girl would not listen to her.

In her previous life, she had been taught a lesson from such an experience.

Her subordinate had been with her for a long time, and everything had been going smoothly, so he felt that he could do it alone.

In the end, he ran into zombies and turned into meat in the zombies’ mouths.

This era was much safer than the apocalypse, but there were still accidents.

She dared to enter the mountains because she was bold and skilled. In addition, she was forced by reality. However, she was not prepared to develop her business deep in the mountains for a long time.

...

If she was already so cautious herself, then Big Girl would need to be even more cautious.

Forget it. After she had finished scouting the surrounding mountains, she would have to have a good talk with Big Girl.

She didn’t want Big Girl to end up like one of her subordinates during the apocalypse.

“Alright…” Seeing Qin Xiaoyao’s stern expression, Big Girl Li acceded to her request. There was a hint of resentment in her tone.

Sister Sanya was really too much. She actually lectured her in front of her little brother-in-law. It was a little humiliating.

“Alright! All of you can go back!” Qin Xiaoyao continued.

She only looked at Big Girl Li and didn’t comfort her.

“Okay…” Big Girl Li pouted and left.

Liu Erniu bade Qin Xiaoyao farewell and left with his sister-in-law.

He looked at his sister-in-law’s back and giggled in his heart as he walked.

Sister-in-law had always been arrogant at home, but in front of Mrs. Song, she was…

Haha! It was really true that everything had its weakness…

It was night.

Qin Xiaoyao lay on the bed and continued to tell Song Que the tale of ‘Journey to the West.’

Just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Song Que.

“There’s no need to build a house,” the man said.

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.

She wondered whether she had heard wrong.

“What I mean is… well, if it costs too much money, it’s better to buy a dwelling in town.” Perhaps he felt that his words were slightly abrupt, so Song Que elaborated more.

Qin Xiaoyao was taken aback once again.

“How much… is considered too much money?” she asked Song Que.

Song Que frowned. He didn’t like Qin Xiaoyao talking to him with her back facing him.

However, he couldn’t ask the other party to turn around.

“More than a hundred taels of silver,” he said.
