70 Chapter 70: Decided to Pay Back the Money

When she arrived at the market on South Street, Qin Xiaoyao found a place to park the handcart, then opened her mouth and began to yell.

The straw sandals, which were worth four copper coins each, were sold very quickly due to their good workmanship.

When the straw sandals were sold out, she did not stay any longer and pushed the handcart directly to Cirrus Loft Bookstore to help Song Que hand in the books he had finished copying.

At the same time, she would also get new book-copying jobs and buy the necessary writing material as needed.

After that, Qin Xiaoyao proceeded to the market on West Street to look for her father and meet up with Big Girl Li.

If she needed to buy vegetables or other items, she would go to the market on West Street to buy them or buy them from some grocery stores along the way.

Today, she bought some things along the way in preparation for making the century eggs.

As it took some effort to find the things she needed, when she arrived at the market on West Street, the market was almost closing.

Big Girl Li had been waiting at Qin Dazhuang’s place for a long time. When she saw Qin Xiaoyao appear, she finally felt relieved.

“Sister Sanya, you’re finally here. I almost thought you had forgotten about me!” Big Girl Li grumbled as she put her belongings on the handcart.

An apologetic look flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s face.

“How can I? Even if I forget anyone, I can’t forget you!” she said with a smile.

“I went to buy something and was delayed.”

“Have you bought all the things you wanted?” she asked Big Girl Li.

“All done. We come to town every other day anyway. There’s nothing much to buy today,” Big Girl Li replied.

“You, on the other hand, can tell me in advance if you have anything you want to buy next time. I can help you buy them, just in case you come late, and the market is almost closed.”

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.

“We’ll see. I wasn’t planning to buy much today.”

At that moment, Qin Dazhuang returned with a few big bones and was about to put them into Qin Xiaoyao’s backpack on the handcart.

“Father, what are you doing?” Qin Xiaoyao immediately called out to stop him.

Qin Dazhuang ignored her.

“The meat on these bones has practically been shaved off. Your aunt will find it troublesome to make soup even if I take them back. You can bring them back. It’ll save me the trouble of finding a place to throw it,” he said.

Big Girl Li looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a smile, her eyes full of envy.

Her Uncle Qin was helping Sister Sanya again.

What was he talking about, throwing away bones without meat? Even without meat, there was still bone marrow in the bones.

Even with this kind of bone, he could pack it up and sell it for six or seven copper coins, and he wouldn’t have to worry about people not wanting it.

Notwithstanding other people, if he gave it to Big Girl Li, she would definitely take it.

She could take it back, add some vegetables and boil the bone to make soup. It would be very nourishing.

How could Qin Xiaoyao not know what her father’s intention was? She knew it was useless to refuse, so she did not stop Qin Dazhuang anymore.

Then, she saw that there was still a piece of meat left in Qin Dazhuang’s stall.

She opened her mouth to ask Qin Dazhuang to weigh that piece of meat for her.

Qin Dazhuang glanced at his daughter and reached out to take the meat.

“Two catties.” After weighing it, he told her the weight.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao suddenly said, “Two catties and two taels.”

Qin Dazhuang was stunned. He turned around and saw his daughter staring at his scale.

Evidently, his little trick had been discovered by his daughter.

Qin Xiaoyao continued, “10 copper coins per catty of lean meat, so that’s 22 copper coins in total.”

She immediately took out the money.

Qin Dazhuang looked a little embarrassed but still took the money.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao take the meat and put it into her bamboo basket backpack.

After that, she said goodbye to her father and went back to Brook Falls Village with Big Girl Li.

After they left town, Big Girl Li asked Qin Xiaoyao about her situation since she didn’t talk much.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao tell her what was on her mind.

“Previously, our family was in trouble, so I asked my father to loan me five taels of silver to treat my husband’s legs.”

“My husband’s condition is much better now, and the medicine he needs is less. We can also deliver goods to Fortune Mansion regularly, so we’re actually quite well-off. I have money to pay off my debts.”

“Then just pay back so that Aunt won’t make things difficult for our Uncle Qin!” Big Girl Li said.

She had been working with Sister Sanya for so long, and she had also seen Sister Sanya’s stepmother.

The stepmother couldn’t really be considered a bad person, but she always spoke in a strange manner and seemed to be quite fierce to their Uncle Qin.

Now, she finally understood the reason.

It turned out that not only did her Uncle Qin subsidize Sister Sanya, but he also lent her five taels of silver.

To be honest, putting aside her sisterly friendship with her Sister Sanya, in her opinion, it was not unreasonable for Sister Sanya’s stepmother to lose her temper.

After all, she was carrying the Qin family’s child now, and she had to think for the baby in her stomach.

Qin Xiaoyao muttered in her heart.

“Yeah,” she responded.

Forget it. She had to find another way to earn the capital for the century egg business.

She didn’t need to collect all the eggs at once, so she didn’t need to take out six taels of silver in one shot.

With their family’s current situation, they could actually gather this amount of money.

Due to the matter of her borrowing money, her father was now unable to raise his head in front of Aunt Zhang.

As a daughter, she couldn’t be too cruel.

At the thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao’s heart relaxed.

“The next time I come to town, I’ll go to the Qin family to pay back the money.”

If she returned the money in front of Aunt Zhang, she could return to her family’s house with her head held high in the future.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao’s mood had improved, Big Girl Li smiled.

“Uh-huh! Sister Sanya is mighty!”

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Big Girl Li with an amused smile.

“In what way am I mighty?”

Big Girl Li was stunned.

Her mind spun rapidly.

“The way you dealt with that shrew last night. You were so mighty and overpowering!” Then, she gave Qin Xiaoyao a thumbs-up in an exaggerated manner.

She was indeed mighty! At that time, she had seen her Sister Sanya grab Aunt Wang up like a little chick.

After that, in the face of Aunt Wang’s crying and wailing, and with so many villagers watching, her Sister Sanya had said those words in an overbearing manner again.

If it were her, even if she had Sister Sanya’s strength, she would not have the courage to fight with Aunt Wang.

She had even less guts to say those words that came after that.

“Pfft! Pfft!” Qin Xiaoyao burst into laughter when she recalled the farce from last night.

“If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If she wants to give me trouble, then don’t blame me for taking action.”

In fact, that Aunt Wang should count her lucky stars. If this had happened in her previous life, Aunt Wang would have died twice.

“Hehe! That’s true!” Big Girl Li agreed.

In the future, if anyone dared to bully her, she would return the favor.

If she didn’t have the ability, then she would look for her Sister Sanya! Her Sister Sanya was her guardian angel!

The two of them chatted for a while, and Big Girl Li mentioned the matter of digging up Chinese yams.

“At this rate, we’ll be able to finish searching that whole mountain for Chinese yams by tomorrow.”

“Sister Sanya, are we still going into the mountain after that?”

She couldn’t be blamed for asking such a question. After all, they had gone into the mountains for so long.

Apart from Chinese yam and Chinese Toon trees, they didn’t find anything else in the mountains that could be sold for money.

It would be great if they could find more Chinese yams in other mountains.

However, luck was not something that could be easily determined.

“We’ll still go,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

“Forget about the inner regions of the mountains. We still have to take a look around the few mountains on the outskirts.”

“It’s good if we can find something. Otherwise…” Qin Xiaoyao paused.

“Otherwise, what?” Big Girl Li asked.

“Let’s use a different way to earn money.”

Big Girl Li was surprised.

“What way?” she looked at Qin Xiaoyao quizzically.
