The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug - Chapter 63

63 Chapter 63: The Song Family Was Rich?

Her handcart was long and big, and it could be used as a stall after they add something to stabilize it.

After that, she could lay out straw sandals on it so that it would be easier for the buyers to choose.

“Yeah!” Big Girl Li looked at the handcart and thought that Qin Xiaoyao’s idea was feasible.

Thus, the two of them quickly went to the market on West Street.

!!
Then, they headed for Qin Dazhuang’s meat stall.

Qin Dazhuang was very surprised to find out that his daughter had bought a handcart.

However, when he thought about how his daughter had to deliver the Chinese yams to town, he could understand the rationale. In fact, he even agreed with his daughter’s decision.

“I still have more than ten pairs of straw sandals here. You can just give me another thirty pairs,” Qin Dazhuang said.

“On the other hand, your Uncle Li’s place sold out all the straw sandals yesterday. He even came to me for another ten pairs. You can go and check with them later.”

Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up.

“Okay! I’ll go now,” she said.

Immediately after that, she put some straw sandals into her bamboo basket backpack and went to the tofu stall with Big Girl Li.

When Aunt Li and Uncle Li saw the two of them, their faces were full of joy.

After telling Qin Xiaoyao about their sales activity, they bought twenty pairs of straw sandals straightaway from Qin Xiaoyao.

She passed them the straw sandals and took their money.

Qin Xiaoyao then bought two more pieces of tofu from the couple before returning.

After that, she returned to the meat stall and threw the remaining straw sandals onto the handcart. She then pushed the handcart to a place a little further away and began to sell the straw sandals.

As expected, when many straw sandals were piled together, they attracted more attention.

There were many people bustling back and forth in the market, and Qin Xiaoyao’s straw sandals were cheap, costing only four copper coins a pair.

She sold out the remaining straw shoes without much effort.

Qin Xiaoyao was overjoyed that she had earned more money.

After pushing the handcart back to Qin Dazhuang’s meat stall, she went shopping in the market.

With the handcart, she could buy more things this time.

First, she bought a small clay pot for boiling medicine. Then, she purchased two big and two small wooden basins, and two large wooden buckets.

When she saw someone selling brooms and bamboo baskets, she also bought these two items.

Qin Dazhuang was quite surprised to see his daughter buying so many things.

He wanted to persuade her to buy less, but when he thought of the Song family’s situation, he kept his mouth shut.

“Gosh! I actually forgot about this!” Qin Xiaoyao, who had just placed her things on the handcart, suddenly smacked her head.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Dazhuang asked.

“Nothing much. I just went to Cirrus Loft Bookstore a few days ago to help my husband procure book-copying jobs. He’s finished copying a book in the past two days. I have to send it to the bookstore, and while I’m there, I can accept new jobs too,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

Qin Dazhuang was surprised.

Then, he nodded.

“It’s good that he’s willing to do some work. However, his body hasn’t recovered yet, so tell him to take it easy when you get back,” he said.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled.

“I know,” she replied.

“Then, Father, help me watch over these things. I’ll be back soon!” After saying that, Qin Xiaoyao picked up the backpack that contained the books and ran off.

Qin Dazhuang looked at his daughter’s back profile as she left. He smiled and continued with his business.

That was good. The son-in-law’s mindset had changed, and he had become more motivated.

His daughter could finally look forward to better days…

After leaving the market on West Street, Qin Xiaoyao walked as fast as she could.

When she arrived at Cirrus Loft Bookstore, she handed the book and Song Que’s copy to the shop owner. Then, she took on another job for Song Que.

After that, she went to sell the two hare skins before returning to the market on West Street.

At that moment, Big Girl Li had also returned. She was waiting for Qin Xiaoyao at Qin Dazhuang’s meat stall.

This time, Big Girl Li didn’t buy anything.

However, she mentioned that she wanted to buy some staple food to bring back.

Qin Xiaoyao thought about it and realized that there wasn’t much staple food left in the house. Thus, she suggested going to the grain store with Big Girl Li.

Following that, as one of them pushed the cart while the other supported it by the side, they said goodbye to Qin Dazhuang and left.

When they arrived at the grain store, they didn’t borrow the grain store’s rice and flour sack. They directly filled the wooden basins and buckets they had bought with brown rice and rough noodle flour.

After that, they prepared to leave town jubilantly.

In the end, they popped into a candy store along the way and bought some candy respectively.

They couldn’t help it as they wanted to reward themselves.

In addition, Qin Xiaoyao could go back and make the children at home happy.

The two of them finally left town in a happy mood.

When they arrived at the city gate, they saw the young man driving the ox-cart who had given them a ride previously from a distance.

The young man also saw the two of them.

He was very surprised to see the two of them pushing a brand-new handcart with a lot of things on it.

It turned out that those two fat women had really bought a handcart. However, they didn’t buy any ox…

When they got closer to the young man, Big Girl Li gave him a smug look, then followed Qin Xiaoyao and strutted off in a gloating manner.

The young ox-cart driver was very annoyed when he saw this.

Qin Xiaoyao saw Big Girl Li’s expression and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“Enough already. Why are you at loggerheads with a mere child?”

Big Girl Li’s eyes narrowed in spite.

“Who asked that kid to look down on people?”

Then, she patted Qin Xiaoyao’s handcart.

“This cart is really not bad!”

“Sister Sanya, it’s my turn to push. Let me have some fun!” she said.

Qin Xiaoyao laughed again.

“Fine! You do it!” she responded.

It was rare that this girl was willing to take the initiative to work.

“Hehe! Alright!” Big Girl Li quickly switched places with Qin Xiaoyao.

Then, she pushed the cart and chatted with Qin Xiaoyao.

They chatted along the way, and it didn’t seem like they had walked for long before they returned to Brook Falls Village.

However, because the two had wasted a lot of time in town, many villagers had already come home for lunch by the time the two returned to the village.

In the village, many people liked to bring their bowls out of the house and eat in the open. As a result, many people saw Qin Xiaoyao and Big Girl Li returning with their handcart.

After learning that the handcart and the goods on it were mostly bought by Qin Xiaoyao, the villagers were all amazed.

They all had the same thought, which was: the Song family had struck it rich.

Some people talked about Qin Xiaoyao accepting mushrooms in the village yesterday, and the Song family weaving straw sandals for sale. The villagers all had some ideas.

Qin Xiaoyao wasn’t bothered by them. She simply pushed the handcart and sent Big Girl Li back to the Liu family first.

After Big Girl Li removed her belongings, Qin Xiaoyao turned down Aunt Liu’s lunch invitation and returned to the Song family’s house.

By now, in the Song family’s house, Madam Liu had already finished cooking, but no one had started eating.

Song Yun was still busy weaving straw sandals, while Song Ye volunteered to go outside to see if his Sister-in-law was back.

Just as Madam Liu was about to tell her youngest son that she would come along as well, she heard Qin Xiaoyao’s voice from outside.

“Mother, Yun’er, Ye’er, I’m back!” Her voice was full of energy and excitement.

Who else could it be but her daughter-in-law?

Little Song Ye’s face immediately broke into a big grin, and he scampered out.

“Sister-in-law…” He yelled excitedly as he dashed off.

Madam Liu and her daughter looked at each other, and both of them smiled.

They stopped what they were doing and got up.

Then, before long, they saw Qin Xiaoyao pushing a handcart into the courtyard.

And Little Song Ye was sitting on the handcart, swinging his legs happily.
