Chapter 25
However, Ning Dalang’s eyes flashed, and he stroked Xiaoxiao’s head. “If only she wanted us to eat, she wouldn’t have let you dig so much back.”
Xiaoxiao moved closer to her eldest brother, looking like she despised her second brother’s intelligence. “You understand me the best.”
She did not keep him in suspense and asked directly, “Second Brother, do you think this thing can be sold for money?”
Ning Erlang pondered for a moment, and his eyes lit up. “There’s a market in the county the day after tomorrow. Shall I try it?”
Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly. She had been busy because of the market. She had even stayed up for a few nights to catch up on time.
The three siblings discussed the matter of selling bamboo shoots at the market. Ning Dalang had a clear mind and quickly arranged what they could bring there. Ning Erlang was smart and found a few suitable locations from memory. Xiaoxiao just nodded and agreed. She ran home to look for other usable pots and jars when she realised she was useless.
In the house, the couple, who had calmed down, had already started to talk about other topics. Ning Fengnian calculated the money on credit and sighed. “Since we’re on credit, why are we only on credit for two acres? Excluding the grains we must pay, it’s less than 100 catties. It’s not enough for us to live.”
Madam Song also agreed. “I originally planned to buy more on credit. Since we’re diligent, I thought we could work for a year to live a better life. Unexpectedly, just as I was about to speak, Xiaoxiao interrupted me and set the rules for two acres of land with the village chief.”
Ning Fengnian laughed and sighed. “That child… doesn’t know how expensive wood and rice are until she’s in charge. Forget it. When I’ve completely recovered, I’ll go to the village chief’s house.”
Since it was already the end of March if they did not prepare to farm, it would be too late. Madam Song packed up the remaining copper coins at home to buy grain seeds the next day. Fortunately, the old residence had paid the consultation fee. Otherwise, she would probably be short of money to buy seeds for two acres of land.
It seemed that Xiaoxiao’s decision was right. If they bought too much land on credit but couldn’t buy enough seeds, they wouldn’t even be able to gather enough food to pay off their debts. Ning Fengnian could only sigh when he heard from it. “If it weren’t for the fact that something went wrong when I was choosing a job at landlord Zhao’s house, we wouldn’t be in such a difficult situation.”
Madam Song was sewing beside his bed. When she heard his words, she did not answer, but she had a plan.
It was great that nothing had happened. But if he had been chosen at that time. Not to mention that he could not receive his salary successfully. They were still living a hopeless life in the old residence. To be honest, she would rather be like this so that her family would be together and work hard for their life.
When Ning Fengnian recovered completely, there would be more to live for.
“It’s fine,” she said. “Tomorrow, I’ll pack up all the embroidery work I’ve been saving for the past few days and get someone to bring it to the market to sell it. I’ll see if I can gather another acre of seeds.”contemporary romance
Just as she thought this, her daughter approached and pestered her. “Mother, I want to go to the market tomorrow!”
She was still a child. Madam Song was worried about her going out alone. Xiaoxiao was already prepared for this. “Let Eldest Brother and Second Brother go with me. I’ll prepare breakfast before we go out. You should stay at home with dad. Brothers and I will bring your embroidery work to sell. We’ll be back at noon. It won’t delay anything at all.”
She blinked and said slyly, “We can go to the cloth shop to sell it ourselves. We can also leave some silver. Without the price difference, we can earn another sum of money!”
