Bab 40: Chapter 40: Accumulate Personal Savings?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
However, Big Girl Li sighed after that. Qin Sanya certainly lived up to her reputation. With just this small trick, she had managed to win over her mother-in-law and little sister-in-law completely.
Her mother-in-law even said that she wanted her to be the head of the household!
This new daughter-in-law was the head of the household. In Brook Falls Village, no one would dare argue against the fact that Qin Sanya was the first daughter-in-law to head a household.
"I have money with me. And I'll also think of ways to earn money."
"Weaving straw sandals takes time and effort. It's not easy for you two to earn this little money."
"Since Mother wants me to take charge of the family, I'll set a rule today," Qin Xiaoyao said after some thought.
"In the future, remember the number of straw sandals you two make. Once the straw sandals are sold, the money will belong to you."
Seeing that the two of them were about to speak, Qin Xiaoyao continued, "With money in hand, one's heart will be at ease, and one will have confidence."
"In the future, if you want to buy something, you can buy it with your own money. You don't have to ask for my opinion."
When the mother and daughter heard this, they were finally a little tempted.
"In addition, if something urgent really happens at home, I'll also ask you guys for help." Qin Xiaoyao continued.
Only then did Madam Liu relax.
"Then we'll take two copper coins, and you can keep the remaining one," she said.
Qin Xiaoyao was caught by surprise.
"Once we've made the straw sandals, you'll have to sell them in town. That one copper coin will be compensation for your hard work," Madam Liu said.
She had learned this from her daughter-in-law. When her daughter-in-law asked her in-laws to help her sell straw sandals, didn't she also give them a copper coin for every pair of sandals?
Moreover, they were family.
It really didn't make sense to save all the money they earned as their private personal money. Giving a copper coin to her daughter-in-law was considered a form of contribution.
A look of helplessness flashed across Qin Xiaoyao's face.
"Alright, let's do it this way then." She finally agreed.
Then, she retained six copper coins and handed over the remaining twelve.
"This is for you two," she said.
The mother and daughter were overjoyed.
Only then did Madam Liu step forward to take the money.
After getting the copper coins, she gave half to Song Yun.
The little girl blushed furiously and refused to take it.
It was only when Madam Liu said that it was her sister-in-law's order that the little girl accepted it.
Holding the six heavy copper coins, the little girl felt her heart racing.
She had money now, and it was a total of six copper coins… In the future, she could save even more money.
Song Yun's heart was filled with determination and hope for the future.
Not far away, Liu Daniu and Li Daniu were completely dumbfounded.
Mrs. Song, aka Qin Sanya, was really in charge now?
And she even allowed her mother-in-law and little sister-in-law to save up for their personal money?
While she was surprised, Big Girl Li also felt envious.
She had her mother-in-law above her, so there was no way she could take charge of the family.
Even if she couldn't take charge of the family, it would be good if their mother-in-law allowed them to save up some personal money.
It was like what the Song family just did, handing over a portion of the money they earned while keeping the rest for themselves.
However, her mother-in-law kept such a close eye on them that she couldn't even secretly save up, much less agree to allow them to save up for their personal money.
Putting aside other things, she thought about herself and her man working for Qin Sanya today.
Her man was simply a straightforward person. Qin Sanya said that she would give them a hundred copper coins as wages, so he honestly told his family that the wages was a hundred copper coins.
Therefore, even if they got their pay, they would have to hand over every coin in the end.
Thinking of this, the resentment in Big Girl Li's heart grew.
She couldn't go on like this. She had to talk to her mother-in-law and the others when she got back.
Her man could hand in the money for his own work, but she couldn't hand over all the money she earned.
Otherwise, she wouldn't even be working for Qin Xiaoyao.
After all, the money wouldn't go into her pocket.
She still had her little brother-in-law and little sister-in-law at home. If the parents were biased in the future, how would she and her man live in the future?
Qin Xiaoyao wasn't aware of any of this. She brought Madam Liu into the kitchen and told her about treating Liu Daniu and his wife to dinner.
"Okay! Then I'll start cooking!" Madam Liu quickly agreed.
Then, she went to wash the rice.
"I'm going to wash the vegetables and Chinese yam," Qin Xiaoyao said.
Thereafter, she picked some Chinese yam and vegetables and went out.
When she went out, she saw that only Big Girl Li was left in the courtyard.
When she saw Qin Xiaoyao looking at her, Big Girl Li smiled and explained, "Daniu said he was afraid of losing the money, so he went back to keep the money."
"Are you going to wash the vegetables? I'll help you!" Big Girl Li said as she came closer.
Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao had put a lot of Chinese yam in her basket, Big Girl Li was very curious.
Five copper coins per catty of vegetables... She didn't even know how to cook them.
"Hehe, sure." Qin Xiaoyao accepted her help.
The two of them went to the stream to wash vegetables.
After washing the vegetables, the two of them went back to the kitchen to cook.
Big Girl Li helped Qin Xiaoyao start the fire enthusiastically, and she saw the whole process of how Qin Xiaoyao processed the Chinese yam.
She also didn't expect that the Chinese yam, which looked like a stick of firewood, would be white inside after being cut open. Moreover, it looked like it was really tasty.
When it was time to eat, Big Girl Li realized that the Chinese yam not only looked good, but it also tasted really good.
It wasn't just Big Girl Li who thought in this way. Even Liu Daniu was amazed.
"I didn't expect Chinese yam to be so delicious! No wonder they could sell for five copper coins per catty!" Liu Daniu couldn't stop eating. He mainly ate Chinese yam and the oil dregs.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled warmly.
"If you like it, eat more! There's enough for everyone," she said in response.
She knew that everyone would like this dish, so she deliberately made more.
It was a pity that they didn't have pickled peppers at home. Otherwise, they would taste even better if they had been fried together with pickled peppers.
"Yup! Sister Sanya, I'll follow you from now on. In the future, we'll go to the mountains to dig up more Chinese yam. This is too delicious!" Big Girl Li said.
"No problem! Not only can we eat them, but we can also sell them in town." Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
Then, she started to talk about the business of making money with Big Girl Li.
Everyone at the table listened attentively. Every one of them was full of admiration for Qin Xiaoyao.
After the meal, Qin Xiaoyao refused Big Girl Li's help to clean up the dishes and personally sent the couple off.
The main reason was that the sky was getting dark, and the road wouldn't be so easy to walk if they went back too late.
The couple walked out. After they parted ways with Qin Xiaoyao, they were still reminiscing about the food they had just eaten and the content of their conversation with Qin Xiaoyao.
"This Mrs. Song is really an amazing person! With her, the Song family will become rich," Liu Daniu said with a sigh.
Big Girl Li's heart trembled.
"If I work for Sister Sanya, will I also become rich?" she asked.
Liu Daniu looked at his wife with some disdain.
"You can forget about getting rich. But it's a rare opportunity that Mrs. Song thinks so highly of you. You should be able to earn some money with her."
It wasn't that he looked down on his wife, but he knew her well.
His wife might appear hardworking, but she was not very reliable.
With her strength and temperament, she really couldn't be compared to Mrs. Song.
"Hehe." Big Girl Li laughed and didn't mind the look in her man's eyes.
She didn't want to be rich. She just wanted to earn and save some money.
"Well, I have something to discuss with you." She looked at her man.
"What is it?" Liu Daniu asked.
