After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch
Chapter 76 Deception
Zhen Yang was extremely heartbroken. She wanted to snatch the money back but then she remembered the purpose of her visit today, so she took several deep breaths before she could hold it back. The grandson in her arms was also taken back by Qiao Chao.
Qian Jiang on the side was stunned. Fortunately, Zhen was not her daughter. It was too horrible that someone would take out ten cents so quickly.
Who would have thought that after Zhen Yue took the money, she looked at Qian Jiangshi. Qian Jiangshi felt uneasy, and Zhen Yue looked at her and said, "Aunt, are you here to see my second brother's wife and your granddaughter? Have you prepared any gifts for my family's Xiaonian?"
Qian Jiang smiled awkwardly, "Didn't I bring eggs to my family to supplement their Xiaonian?"
Zhen Yue nodded, "Oh, a few eggs?" Zhen Yue looked at Mrs. Qiao Chen.
Qiao Chenshi: "...I counted and there are four eggs."
Qian Jiangshi: “Yes, yes, yes.”
But Zhen Yue frowned and said, "How can it be four eggs? Four people dying together, how unlucky is that? Aunt, you are being mean, aren't you? There should be at least eight eggs, right? Mother, take out four eggs from home and put them together. Oh, this is what Aunt bought. Aunt charges two cents for an egg, so please give me eight cents, just enough to buy something delicious for Xiaonian."
Qian Jiang's eyes widened. "Why does this egg cost two cents each? Isn't it one cent?"
Zhen Yue: "Aren't these extras for you to buy gifts for Xiaonian?"
Qian Jiangshi: "Aren't there eggs here?"
Zhen Yue: "I told you this number of eggs is unlucky!"
Qian Jiang was confused. Zhen Yue winked at Qian, and Qian sat up straight immediately. "Mom, sister-in-law is right. My little girl is getting older, and I want to save some money to buy cloth for her to make clothes." As she spoke, she was about to pick Qian Jiang's pocket.
Qian Jiang held her hand and said, "No, what new clothes are you wearing, little girl?"
Zhen Yue's face turned stern, "Aunt, what are you talking about? Little girls don't wear clothes. You are also a girl, take off your clothes and let me wear them. It just so happens that I don't mind being a girl, but you don't need to wear clothes if you mind yourself."
Qian Jiangshi: "Hey, what are you talking about? This is in public."
Zhen Yue: "Isn't this the girl you mentioned who doesn't wear clothes?"
Qian Jiangshi: "I'm talking about not wearing new clothes."
"Aren't clothes and new clothes the same thing?"
Qian Jiang was speechless, her hands loosened unconsciously, and then Qian Jiang took out a few coins, "Mom, why do you only have five coins? Where is your money?"
Qian Jiangshi came to her senses and wanted to take the money back, but Qian Jiangshi had already handed the money to Qiao Er, "Mother, there are still three cents."
Zhen Yue: "Forget it, forget it. Your mother has had a hard time too. Five cents is five cents."
Qian: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Qian Jiangshi: ??? Why thank her? Shouldn’t you thank me?
Zhen Yangshi: "Why does she only need to give five cents?"
Zhen Yue: "Doesn't this mean that you are satisfied with your eldest grandson? You like my little Ah Chu so much, so what's wrong with giving him a little more?"
Zhen Yang nodded, "That's true. My eldest grandson is a grandson, and he is very different from a little girl."
Qian, on the other side, was unhappy. She glanced at Xiaonian, then touched her belly. Sure enough, she still had to give birth to a son. "Son, son, when will you come? Mother misses you."
"By the way, what are mother and aunt-in-law doing here together? Is there no work to do at home today?" Zhen Yue asked again. She didn't believe that the two of them came to see their grandson.
Zhen Yang: "Didn't I just say that you were here to see my eldest grandson? My in-law, Sister Jiang, and I just bumped into each other halfway. By the way, everyone seems to be talking about your family making money recently? How do you make money?"
Zhen Yue: "How did you make a lot of money? Not much."
Qian Jiangshi: "How can you buy a donkey if you don't make much money? Besides, your family has used up all the charcoal."
Zhen Yue: "I borrowed money to buy this donkey, and my family burned this charcoal ourselves after chopping wood."
Qian Jiangshi: "But everyone said that no one from your family came to collect the debt."
Zhen Yue: "That's because our family didn't borrow money from a loan shark. We borrowed money from other people. We often gave away the vegetables we grew to pay off their debts."
Zhen Yangshi: "What did you do that required a donkey cart?"
Zhen Yue: "Nothing, just growing some vegetables to sell."
Zhen Yangshi didn't believe it, "Can it be sold?"
Zhen Yue: "We went to the county town to sell it. It's a long way, so we needed a donkey cart."
Zhen Yangshi: "Then it's still a bit profitable."
Zhen Yue: "I did make a little money, but I still have to pay off my debts. I haven't paid off the donkey yet."
Zhen Yangshi: "How many years will it take?"
Zhen Yue: "It will take two or three years. If you can lend me some, one or two years should be enough."
Zhen Yangshi: "... Well, mother doesn't have any money either. Oh, isn't it Chinese New Year? Your sisters-in-law are also going back to their parents' homes, and there's nothing for them to take back with them. So, dear mother-in-law, can you lend us some money to buy something to take back with us?"
Qiao Dashan and Qiao Chenshi: "...this, this." Both of them looked at Zhen Yue.
Zhen Yue: "How about this, mother, I don't have anything good to bring back. Please lend me twenty coins, and I will buy some good things and go back on the second day of the New Year. You can ask the sisters-in-law to go home on the third day of the New Year, so that what I bring back can be brought back to them."
The others were all stunned. How could it be like this?
Zhen Yang opened her mouth, "So... I don't have the money for this."
Zhen Yue: "I saw you had some money in your pocket just now." She stretched out her hand to take out the money, "and I will definitely take back more than twenty cents."
Zhen Yang was skeptical, "Really?"
Zhen Yue: “Of course it’s true.” Then bring some vegetables back. Her family has a lot of vegetables and they’re expensive. A few pounds would cost twenty cents, right?
Zhen Yangshi: "Then you can't lie to me, it's better to have meat, good stuff."
Zhen Yue nodded, "It must be a good thing."
Zhen Yang quickly took out twenty coins, and then Zhen Yue looked at Qian Jiang, who waved her hands, "I... I'm fine."
Zhen Yue: "Fifteen cents is also fine."
Zhen Yang: "My dear sister, fifteen cents can be exchanged for something worth more than fifteen cents."
Zhen Yue nodded, "That's right! It's definitely worth the money!"
Qian Jiangshi: "...then...then fifteen cents."
Zhen Yue: "Yes, fifteen cents will be enough."
Qian Jiang counted out fifteen coins with some heartache, "This... ten coins will be enough, right? I only have one daughter-in-law in my family."
Zhen Yue: "But don't we have several sons-in-law? We have to give gifts in return. Fifteen is the minimum. Otherwise, how can we buy good things with less money?"
Zhen Yang: "That's right, listen to my daughter."
Finally, Qian Jiang took out fifteen coins, and Zhen Yue took the money and said, "You guys go back and wait. On the second day of the New Year, Qian and I will bring back some good things."
Zhen Yangshi: "Oh, okay! You must bring it."
Zhen Yue: "Don't worry, I will definitely make you happy and surprised!"
Not long after, Qian Jiang and Zhen Yang returned, and Qiao Chen even cut a small piece of sausage for them.
Zhen Yang and Qian Jiang looked at the sausages in the return gift and thought that the money was worth it. They were already looking forward to the second day of the Chinese New Year.
