Chapter 177 Planning
"To these greedy people, fifty coins and one hundred coins have the same result. So why give them so much?"
After Deng Shaoyao finished speaking, she put fifty cents into Tang Caiyun's hand.
"What are you doing for me?"
"You don't have any money. If something happens, who can help you? If you have some money, you might be able to find someone to run errands for you at a critical moment."
"Your aunt never said she was willing to give them money. What you said just now was a lie to them. If they knew later that your aunt would never lend them money, wouldn't they be even more angry?"
"I'm just stalling for time. I'll go into town tomorrow. If they ask, just say I went to get news about my elder and second sisters."
"How are you going into the city?" Tang Caiyun grabbed her hand. "Peony, why don't we just not go?"
"Mom, if you still want to see me, you'd better not stop me. Haven't you noticed? My aunt always listens to Sister Huiyin." Deng Shaoyao looked at Tang Caiyun. "I don't expect you to be a capable and strong mother, but can you please stop stopping me from finding a way to survive? If you keep trying to stop me like this, I won't come back."
"I'll listen to you, all the time." Tang Caiyun cried, "Please don't leave me."
"Tomorrow I'll rent an oxcart from the next village and drive into the city," Deng Shaoyao said. "That's why my aunt gave me money. Money is a good thing. It can not only help me escape, but also help me gather information. If I didn't have a penny, every step would be difficult."
At this moment, two figures quietly left outside the Deng family courtyard.
There was an oxcart tied up not far away. When they returned, a few children were sitting on the oxcart, playing mischievously.
"Go down, go down..."
After Mr. Tang San drove the kid away, he untied the rope and drove away in the ox cart.
The two left the village in a bullock cart.
On the way, Third Master Tang asked Qin Huiyin, who was standing beside him, "You followed me here on purpose because you were worried that your cheap cousin and cheap aunt would be bullied by the Deng family, right?"
"The main reason is that I want to accompany you." Qin Huiyin said sweetly, "Worrying that they will be bullied is just a side effect."
"Hahaha..." Master Tang San laughed uncontrollably. "Girl, you're so good at coaxing people at such a young age. I really want to see which kid will fall into your clutches in the future."
"It must be money. Money can fall into the palm of my hand. Third Grandpa, we need to broaden our horizons and open our eyes. There are many spinsters in this world who have never thought about getting married."
"That won't work. Grandpa still wants to see you have a lover, a family, and your own children, so that you won't be lonely when you're old."
"As long as I have money, if I feel bored, I can invite a troupe of actors to perform at my home, or invite a musician to sing at my home..."
Master Tang San: “…”
This little girl's idea is very dangerous!
Will she be a playboy when she grows up?
After returning to the village, the ox cart drove into the Tang family's yard. No one was home, but the next door was quite lively. From the sound of Li Taohua, she was there too.
After they parked the ox cart, they went next door to see what was going on.
"Why is it so lively here?" Mr. Tang San asked with a smile.
"Uncle San, Miss Huiyin, you're back." Carpenter Zhang said with a smile, "We made several dining tables today. Huiyin's mother said they were up to standard, so everyone is very happy."
"What I mean is that we will send a batch into the city tomorrow. If Miss Xia thinks it is appropriate, then we can continue to produce at this level." Li Taohua said.
"Uncle San, I need to rent your ox cart tomorrow." Carpenter Zhang said to Uncle Tang San.
Third Master Tang waved his hand and said, "The old man is being taken care of now. You can use him if you want. Give the money to Huiyin girl."
Qin Huiyin said: "I am also a partner, that is, the second boss. This is for my own family, so I don't need to pay, but I am considering buying two mules."
"The old ox is quite old, and it's not good to let it work so hard." Li Taohua said, "The mule is good, it's fast and has good endurance."
"The carriage will have to be rebuilt when the time comes. Once I buy the mule, I'll ask Uncle Zhang and Brother Dazhu to help make one." Qin Huiyin said, "It will be put on my account and deducted from the dividends."
"No, no, no, we don't need the money. Once the mule cart is ready, we can borrow it." said Carpenter Zhang.
The Zhang family was overjoyed and invited the Tang family to have dinner at their place. The Zhang family had invited two masters, several apprentices, and the mother and son of Pang, making it a large group. Li Taohua politely declined their offer.
Qin Huiyin planned to eat grilled fish in the evening. She made the fish that Mr. Tang San caught today into a delicious grilled fish, and paired it with other dishes, making for a lively meal.
During the meal, Li Taohua brought a large plate of grilled fish to add to their meal. As they left the house, a few dishes were delivered. Li Taohua and Pang Shi met at the door, smiled, and walked across to each other.
The next day, Qin Huiyin followed Carpenter Zhang and others into the city.
Seeing Qin Huiyin accompanying them, Carpenter Zhang and his son felt much more confident.
They didn't understand why they were so convinced of such a young girl. Perhaps it was because she was young but smart and knew more than them. Or perhaps it was because her ability to handle things made them feel at ease.
On the way, Qin Huiyin agreed that she would just be a well-behaved decoration today, and Zhang's father and son must go to discuss the business in person. Zhang Dazhu agreed immediately, and indeed, the goods were delivered smoothly.
They rushed out four tables, sent two to Boss Ning's store, and sent two to Qingyue Restaurant.
Zhang Dazhu came forward to hand over the goods to Gong Qihe, the owner of the restaurant, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the quality was up to standard.
"Boss, I want to buy two mules. Do you know where to get good mules?" Qin Huiyin said as she stuffed a string of copper coins over.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. I'll arrange for a clerk to take you there. With an acquaintance to help introduce you, the people there won't dare to cheat you with inferior goods."
The shopkeeper, who could become the shopkeeper of Qingyue Restaurant, must have a much higher vision than ordinary people. He confiscated the money from Qin Huiyin and enthusiastically arranged for his waiter to help him make the trip.
The guy took them to the horse market.
As soon as you walk into the entrance, a strong stench hits your nose.
"Girl, these are cows and sheep, these are donkeys and mules, and over there are horses and camels," the waiter said. "Are you only buying mules? If so, let's go directly to the mules."
"I……"
"Sister, sister, sister Huiyin..." Shuanglang's shout interrupted Qin Huiyin's words.
Qin Huiyin turned around and saw Jiang Qibin jumping up and down and waving, with a sunny smile on his face.
There was a person next to Jiang Qibin with his back to her. He turned around and looked at her when he heard Jiang Qibin's voice, revealing a handsome face that looked mature despite his young age.
