51 -51 Quick Money
Lin Dong murmured softly, “Thank goodness the day after tomorrow is a holiday, or else I would have considered taking a day off myself!”
Lin Xia rubbed his head, “Silly child, don’t say such foolish things, you should go to school!
Even if they knew, they wouldn’t dare to come to our door, unless our father comes back, so the most important thing right now is to be cautious about our own safety.”
If Lin Aiguo decides to come and make trouble, then it might become a problem whether we can continue to live here or not.
Lin Xia was planning in her mind; she needed to focus even more on making money now.
As Lin Xia had expected, by the time she finished work that evening, she had sold all the scarves and hairpins in her hands.
It seemed that doing business was indeed feasible at this time.
This was mainly because there were only a few places to buy things, and the variety and styles were too scarce,
and many people still hadn’t mustered the courage to give up their formal, respectable jobs to become small traders;
If a few more years passed, doing this kind of business wouldn’t be so simple, competition would also be fierce.
As Lin Xia was packing up, she suddenly slapped her forehead.
She had mistakenly sold the one she had reserved for Yu Hongmei.
She had wanted to give it to Yu Hongmei, but she felt that now was not a good time, firstly because she had taken a long leave from work; it wouldn’t be good to go there.
She definitely couldn’t face her aunt’s house, otherwise, given her aunt’s temperament, she would surely drag them all back.
But on second thought, if it’s sold, it’s sold.
Anyway, she was going to restock in a few days.
She could buy something nice then and keep it as a thank-you gift for her later.
After returning home, Lin Xia added up the money she had made today with that of yesterday, which totaled two hundred and nine yuan!
In those days, that was considered a large sum of money!
Not to mention that her brother and sister were ecstatic, even she couldn’t contain her euphoria.
With this money, she could stock up even more goods in the future.
And those hazelnuts, if she went to the provincial capital again this time, she could sell some more.
With money turning over like this, their lives would surely get better and better.
Lin Dong and Lin Qiu had never seen so much money before.
Seeing their big sister stashing the money away, their inner excitement and fervor did not subside at all.
“Big sister!
I want to trade with you in the future!
It makes money quickly!
It’s more profitable than working a job!” Lin Dong was significantly influenced and blurted out the idea.
Lin Xia slapped his head, “What are you talking about?
I’m telling you, Lin Dong, you should study hard and get into university.
Don’t think that doing business is so easy.”
She was working this hard, not wanting her little brother to endure the same.
Only by getting into university would he have the chance to leap over the dragon gate.
It was because of the existence of the Jade room that she could take advantage of certain opportunities to make some money.
If it was just up to her alone, even if she was more formidable and could endure more hardships, she doubted she could make that much.
Lin Qiu watched Lin Dong, her eyes starting to redden, “Dongzi!
You didn’t see the state our sister was in when she got off the train.
The round trip on the hard seats for two nights, it was so hard on anyone.
If it wasn’t for us, it would be better for our sister to just work a regular job.
How can you even say such a thing?”
She could understand her sister’s feelings best.
In their family, all the siblings had dropped out after junior high school.
Just like how the eldest brother and sister had gone to work at the Youth Station in the mountains after graduating.
When it came her turn, she didn’t need to go to the Youth Station, but she didn’t continue to high school either.
Now, only the youngest brother still had the chance to continue his studies, so all of them were hoping and looking forward to him having the opportunity to go to college.
Lin Dong rubbed his head, “I understand!
Big sister!
Second sister!
I was just talking!
I will definitely go to college in the future!”
“Good!
As long as you have the ambition, that’s fine!
Dongzi, as long as you study hard, your big sister will support your education!”
Lin Xia decided that next time she wouldn’t let the two of them help check the money. freewebnøvel.com
Initially, she just felt sorry for her brother and sister, who hadn’t seen much money from a young age.
She wanted to make them happy, but she didn’t anticipate that it would backfire.
Early the next morning, Lin Xia made breakfast, which included fried dough pancakes and shredded potatoes.
Lin Qiu watched her sister cook with a heavy heart, knowing that if she were cooking, she definitely couldn’t use oil as lavishly as her sister did.
Lin Dong, however, was happily waiting by the side.
The moment the first pancake came off the pan, he tore off a small piece without fearing the heat, blew on it, and popped it directly into his mouth.
While chewing, he kept saying how delicious and wonderful it tasted!
Lin Xia smiled and tore off a piece for Lin Qiu, “Xiaoqiu, stop pouting and try some!
You feel sorry, don’t you?” She knew her sister must be feeling sorry!
Lin Qiu embarrassedly accepted it with a laugh, “Sister!
I’m just not used to this…” Back in that house, when would they ever dare to use so much oil in cooking?
“It’s okay!
You’ll get used to it eventually!” Lin Xia said with a smile, thinking she would definitely earn more in the future so they could eat whatever they wanted.
So why did she make pancakes today?
Firstly, she wanted to improve the meals for her brother and sister, and secondly, it would be easier to take food with her when she went up the mountain.
Xu Haihua’s mother had finished cooking earlier, and the pair were eating in the Eastern House.
Xu Haihua, smelling the delicious aromas coming from the kitchen, and looking at the watery porridge and pickles in front of her, suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
The fact that they, mere tenants, were eating better than the landlords themselves was unthinkable.
She whispered, “Mom!
They must be quite rich!
Their food looks better than ours!
Didn’t you say that Lin Xia worked at the processing plant?
I’ve noticed that since she moved in, she hasn’t gone to work at all.
And that Lin Qiu, I asked people at the factory, and she took leave after just two days!
What’s really going on with them?
They better not be deceiving us!”
Xu Haihua’s mother was also wondering, but being of an advanced age and experienced with people, she knew that these three kids were decent and honest.
They had paid the rent and even rented a room from her; was it her business what they ate or did?
She sipped her porridge and quietly said, “Haihua!
Didn’t you say we’d rent to them for just a month?
Just let them know in advance when it’s time to move out!
We shouldn’t meddle in what’s actually going on with them!”
Xu Haihua was embarrassed to admit that she had somewhat changed her mind now.
Since they had moved in, the water tank was always full, and someone was always there to empty the bucket.
She thought about when their firewood shed ran out of firewood, and estimated that if she mentioned it, Lin Dong would help out with chores.
No need to keep asking her brother-in-law, who was clearly reluctant to help.
“Mom!
Make me some pancakes for lunch too!”
Xu Haihua’s mother couldn’t bear to let her daughter feel deprived, and agreed without hesitation, “All right!
I’ll make them for lunch!”
With only her and her eldest daughter at home, and her sons sending money home, and her daughter contributing part of her salary too, they actually weren’t short of money.
But her thrifty habits prevented her from cooking anything too lavish.
