Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

After Jiang Yue received the world plot, he was shocked. After sorting out the chaotic plot, he suddenly remembered something: "8888, you said that the original heroine was taken away by the immortal master? This mission world is an immortal world?"

"No, host, please rest assured. This is just a simple ancient world. The immortal master is just passing by."

Jiang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if she was thrown into the world of cultivating immortals, a world where the strong are respected and intrigue is rampant, Jiang Yue estimated that she would not survive more than three episodes, and would have to enter some Taoist fellow's 'Human Emperor Banner' to become a sister.

After writing down the world plot, Jiang Yue went out to work. She was not a person who had no worries about food and drink in this life. The house she lived in now was rented. A few days ago, Aunt Li said that the house price was going to increase and the family was very worried. Now the family income is divided into two parts, one is the money Jiang Yue's father earned as a peddler, and the other is Jiang Yue and her mother rusting purses and the like.

The monthly income of the two of them is only one or two taels of silver. They have to pay for rent, their younger brother's school fees, food and drink, and if they are unlucky, they will have to pay for medical expenses if they get sick. If they still want to save money throughout the year, they are really thinking too much. Not being in debt means you are a normal family. Most people these days live on debt. When the money they earn is not enough to pay off the debt, they start selling their children. Jiang Yue's father is very capable enough to ensure that her family can live in peace.

As for why the family had to support their younger brother's schooling despite the difficult situation, Jiang Yue still remembered that when the family first decided to send his younger brother to school, they simply wanted him to learn some reading and arithmetic, and then when he was old enough, they would send him to a store as an apprentice. If he was lucky enough to become a shopkeeper, the family would be considered to have turned around.

It turned out that Jiang Yue's younger brother was a good student with good memory and comprehension abilities. After a while, the teacher of the village school found Jiang Yue's home and told her parents that they could let Jiang Ze take the imperial examination. Jiang Yue's parents struggled for a long time and finally told their grandparents who were in charge of the family.

No one agreed at first. After all, everyone in the family has his or her own little calculations, and the cost of studying nowadays is not a small amount. Tuition is only one aspect of it. What is expensive are the books, paper, and ink needed for studying, and then the cost of finding a guarantor, as well as the travel expenses for exams, etc. There are many families who support one person to study, and finally sell their houses and land, causing the well-off families to become impoverished.

Finally, grandpa decided to divide the family ahead of time. Jiang Yue's father did not take the land but the money, and finally moved to the city with his family. The Jiang family also felt that it was not easy to live in a big city in Beijing. After renting a house and finding a good school for the children, they had little money. Then Jiang Yue's father became a peddler, selling things in the streets. Jiang Yue's mother knew some embroidery skills, but she didn't know much and could only take some simple jobs, so she didn't make much money.

Moreover, the separation was only due to fear of being dragged down by Jiang Yue's family, it did not mean that there was no affection anymore. Now Jiang Yue's grandfather, uncle and second uncle still often come to bring some rice and vegetables, and sometimes if they are lucky enough to catch some prey, they will also send some to Jiang Yue's family.

When Jiang Yue grew up a little, her mother began to teach her embroidery. Although Jiang Yue is only ten years old this year, she has been earning money to support her family when she was eight years old. The good thing is that Jiang Ze is very competitive and has always done well in her studies. She even ranked first in the last monthly exam.

After accompanying her mother to embroider handkerchiefs for a long time, when Jiang Yue finished another handkerchief, her mother took it up and examined it: "Daya, your embroidery is better than mine." She then took up the others and examined them: "They are much better. I guess they can be sold at a higher price."

After all, Jiang Yue had received special training in these things. In order to make the change not abrupt, Jiang Yue only improved her skills a little bit. It can be seen that her skills have become a little higher, but still within an acceptable range. Although the atmosphere in this dynasty was slightly more open, there were still many restrictions on women. They could not do other things, and only embroidery was a skill that she could show off.

"Really? I just feel like it's going particularly well today." Jiang Yue picked up the handkerchief she embroidered and pretended to look at it. After looking at it, she shook her head at Liu: "I don't see it. Is there any improvement? Are you dazzled, mother?"

Liu glanced at Jiang Yue and said nothing. Although her skills were not very good, she had been doing this for many years and could still tell the good from the bad. She did not explain much to Jiang Yue and just took out the ones embroidered by Jiang Yue and put them away separately.

Not long after, when the family was still busy, Jiang Yue's father came back carrying the shelf. Liu hurried out to greet him. Jiang Yue and Jiang Ze followed him out. When they passed by, they saw Jiang's father's face full of smiles. The shelf was almost empty. He touched Jiang Yue and Chen Ze's head and said, "Business is very good today. We made almost two taels of silver."

Mother Liu was surprised and asked, "Really?" Father Jiang nodded heavily. Chen Ze was also smiling. Although he was young, he knew that two taels of silver was a lot of money. Liu waited for him to finish speaking and then pulled him to the room. Father Jiang blushed and said, "It's broad daylight, and the child is still here."

Mother Liu glared at Jiang's father and asked Jiang Yue to take his brother to bring out the meal first. Then she pulled Jiang's father into the room.

As soon as they entered the room, Liu handed Jiang Yue the purse she had picked up. Jiang's father was confused. Liu raised her chin to signal him to open it. Jiang's father lowered his head and opened the purse. His voice suddenly became high-pitched: "Where did this gold come from..." Halfway through, he felt something was wrong and looked around subconsciously. He pulled Liu to the innermost part of the room and subconsciously lowered his voice and asked: "Where did this gold come from?"

Liu repeated what Jiang Yue had said to her, and Jiang's father frowned and said nothing. Liu didn't understand this at home, but he knew more than Liu because he walked around the streets every day. No one threw gold when they received a bride. However, Jiang's father didn't explain to Liu, but asked her to help him sort out the burden and called Jiang Yue in to ask her more.

Father Jiang didn't suspect that Jiang Yue stole or robbed the items. After all, he knew his daughter well. Father Jiang was afraid that Jiang Yue might have picked up something that was accidentally dropped by a pedestrian on the street. After Liu left, she called Jiang Yue, "Daya, your father is looking for you."

Jiang Yue nodded and went into the house to find Jiang's father. When she entered the house and sat next to Jiang's father, Jiang's father asked Jiang Yue: "Daya, tell Daddy how you found this purse."

"Today I went to pick up wedding candies, but I didn't get any and was almost knocked down by the crowd. There were so many people that I was a little scared and planned to go home. As I was walking back, I saw the nanny next to the sedan throwing a purse out, and it landed on my head. I picked it up and ran home quickly, then secretly looked to see if there was any gold and gave it to my mother."
