It has only been two months since she woke up and came to this house, and her brother has already been called by the villagers no less than five times. You can imagine how naughty and mischievous he is.

Hua Jin would not miss this rare opportunity.

"Hey...sister" Xiaosi grabbed her sister's hand anxiously, "Sister, I didn't say no, why don't you think about it?"

Clearly lacking confidence and speaking with a guilty conscience.

It’s really difficult. The friends in the village can’t do it for several days without repairs. How can they endure it?

Xiaosi really wanted to cry without tears, but... the temptation of the slingshot is not small!

"I'm sure, I can't go back on my word. I can't be a sister once, but I won't let it go." Hua Jin raised her eyebrows.

Xiaosi gritted his teeth, worked hard for the slingshot and then nodded: "A manly man keeps his word, sister, you will deliver the slingshot."

Hua Jin looked at her younger brother who took the bait and smiled, "Okay, let's see how you behave."

The dejected Xiaosi was left behind, and he said hello to Sister Kitten and the others and went home.

But the thought of owning a slingshot in the near future quickly cheered me up.

Just perform well this month, he will definitely be able to do it.

Xiao Si waved his fist to cheer himself up and quickly caught up with his sister who had already walked away.

"Sister...wait for me."

…

The next day, Hua Chengtian returned from seeing his son off and then accompanied his daughter to the town again.

On days before the market, the streets were obviously much deserted, Hua Jin thought to the crowd of people watching.

The goal was clear. Without any further delay, a car arrived at the entrance of the embroidery workshop and stopped.

At this moment, when the sun is rising, the embroidery workshop is already open to welcome customers.

Hua Jin jumped off the bullock cart, followed closely by Qi Shi.

It was always inconvenient for Hua Chengtian for a grown man to follow his daughter to the embroidery workshop. Qi was worried and thought about it and followed her. The two held hands and entered the embroidery workshop.

Looking at the embroidery workshop, Hua Chengtian, the eldest daughter and daughter-in-law, did not go in in the end, but guarded the oxcart and parked it on the side of the road.

Shopkeeper Zou, who was collecting money in the embroidery shop, looked up and his eyes lit up, especially when he saw Hua Jin holding something in her hand and busy calling the waiter to entertain the customers at the counter.

"Oh, Mrs. Qi, Jin'er, you are here!" Shopkeeper Zou walked out of the counter as he spoke.

"It's been a few days since I last saw Jin'er, and she's looking fresh again." Shopkeeper Zou looked at Hua Jin, who was delicate, fair and easy to smile, and was really surprised.

"Ms. Qi, tell me how you are so good at giving birth?"

These words made Mrs. Qi not sure how to answer them, so she could only smile back.

Shopkeeper Zou just sighed and didn't want anyone to respond.

There weren't many people in the shop at the moment, so shopkeeper Zou directly took Hua Jin and his wife to the inner room behind the shop, which was where she usually rested and where she entertained female customers.

"Sit down, you're thirsty, drink some tea." He said and picked up the tea can that had been warm on the stove.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Zou." Mrs. Qi took it and thanked her.

Hua Jin also said thank you sweetly.

There is no need to be too pretentious about a cup of tea.

Watching the mother and daughter drink tea, shopkeeper Zou, who was already a little impatient, spoke.

"I didn't know you would come today..." Shopkeeper Zou looked at the drawing paper on the table with hope shining in his eyes.

Hua Jin didn't hesitate to open the drawing paper placed on the table, and showed Shopkeeper Zou one by one.

As the papers were turned over one by one, Shopkeeper Zou's eyes became brighter and brighter. Especially when he saw the last few papers, he took them in his hands and looked at them carefully, and he couldn't help but say good things.

Then he looked at Hua Jin like a treasure. The one with eager eyes was Hua Jin, a pseudo-child, who sat calmly and smiled lightly. If it were other children, he would not even dare to look at her.

In the end, the price of the pattern remained unchanged, but the price of the last five samples made Qi confused again.

One picture was sold for a high price of one tael, and five pictures were sold for five taels of silver plus twenty patterns, a total of eight taels.

The price made Mr. Qi speechless for a moment in surprise, and he blankly accepted the money handed over by the shopkeeper.

This amount of money is almost as much as the family's income from more than ten acres of land.

This year's business has been pretty good. The harvest was a little more than in previous years. I collected more than two shi from one acre of land. After tax, I bought more than ten taels of silver in addition to the two shi of wheat left at home.

It seems that more than ten taels of silver is quite a lot, but don’t forget that there are two scholars in the family who earn money.

Counting the one or two girls who worked together last time, they actually made almost ten taels by painting patterns. Mrs. Qi didn't even know how she got out of the embroidery workshop.

I vaguely remember shopkeeper Zou telling his daughter how much she would charge for such samples.

"What's wrong?"

Hua Chengtian pulled the bullock cart to the mother-in-law bar and looked worriedly at his somewhat lost wife.

But...if he read it correctly, the shopkeeper gave it to me with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm just a little excited. Let me calm down first." She glanced at the child's father and said, covering her pounding chest.

Gotta...get it.

Looking at his relaxed daughter, Hua Chengtian said nothing.

...it seems to have been sold at a good price again.

Immediately, he asked the two women to get on the bullock cart and left the embroidery workshop.

"Dad, stop for a moment."

Hua Jin saw the book store from a distance and shouted quickly.

Hua Chengtian tightened the reins and looked at his daughter strangely, his eyes filled with question marks?

Hua Jin said: "Dad, I want to go to the bookstore?"

Hua Chengtian was not surprised that his daughter was always eager to learn, but he just wanted to go to the library to see why Hua Chengtian, who had always doted on his daughter, would have any objections, so he nodded immediately.

Seeing that her father had agreed, Hua Jin quickly took her mother, who had just recovered, into the bookstore.

Seeing her daughter choose a set of paints, Mrs. Qi couldn't help but ask: "My daughter, can I still use these?"

The ones I had before were all very good and sold at quite high prices. In fact, I really don’t understand why my daughter still buys paints.

"Mom, if I add bright colors to those pictures, it will make people's eyes brighter. Maybe the shopkeeper can increase the price."

What my daughter said was not unreasonable. The price would definitely be different if the items were more refined, so she no longer had to worry about the money of the paint.

It's a bit expensive, but my daughter can buy it if she wants to with the money she earns.

I thought I bought paint and left, but my daughter wandered around the bookstore again and chose two more books.

Mrs. Qi took a look, but unfortunately she couldn't read and didn't know what the book was, but she thought it was useful otherwise the child wouldn't choose it, so she didn't stop it either.

I just felt a little distressed when I paid. The paint, two books and a stack of paper cost almost two taels of silver.

"Mom, don't feel bad, my daughter can earn her back." As soon as she left the shop, Hua Jin took her mother's hand and comforted Mrs. Qi.

Not to mention my mother, she also thinks it is expensive. Two taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to live for a year and a half. Some families may not be able to save two taels of silver in one or two years. Otherwise, why is it difficult for a poor family to have a noble son?

...The difficulty lies in money.

"Mom, just take it easy." She patted her daughter's hand. After getting on the bullock cart, Mrs. Qi became much calmer.

After all the flowers have been spent, I no longer feel distressed.

And at such an old age, how can he be inferior to a child?

I didn’t stay in the town much longer. I had everything at home. I hadn’t finished the meat and fish I bought last time and there was nothing left to buy.

Qi couldn't hold back the fact that she had earned eight taels of silver on the way back, so she told the child's father loudly, so that the corner of Hua Chengtian's mouth never dropped, and he looked at his daughter with a look of pride.

ah!
Chapter completed!
