After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy
Chapter 42 It's not shameful to make money with your own ability
Su Jinhong was unable to do anything and was extremely anxious.
But his hands were not healed yet, so no matter how anxious he was, it would be of no use.
Now he hopes that he can get better soon, and then think about how to reduce the burden on his family.
He heard from his teacher that some scholars would write storybooks for bookstores.
Then he warned him that if a gentleman was involved in too many material things, he would not only be looked down upon by other classmates, but also be said to reek of money, so he should not touch these things.
Some even say that copying a book is better than writing the original story.
He just thought that it was not shameful to make money with his own ability.
As long as you can live a good life, why should you worry about what others think?
So if possible, he would like to write some storybooks in his spare time.
No matter how much money I can earn by then, it will at least help ease the burden on my family.
He is a boy, the eldest son in the family, and his eldest sister is only less than two years older than him.
Logically speaking, he should be the one supporting the family and providing support for his older sisters and brothers.
But now even my nine-year-old sister is earning money for the family.
He is the only one who does nothing and is like a parasite.
This made him feel ashamed and embarrassed at the same time!
At this time, no one knew what Su Jinhong was thinking. When Liu Miao heard Su Rongrong say that she wanted to make a straw mat, she said:
"Rongrong, my mother just made me a mattress. Jinhong is injured so badly now, why not give it to him first.
I'll help you with it later. When it's done, you can pay me back.
As for the straw, it's easy and you don't have to spend money to buy it. I'll go to each house and ask everyone to order it when I get back."
Su Jinhong didn't dare to ask for Liu Miao's thing, and immediately denied it: "No need!"
When Liu Miao looked over, he said, "Sister Miao Miao, it's not too cold now. It doesn't matter if the bed at home doesn't have a mattress. Just put some more straw on it and it will be just as warm."
Liu Miao wanted to say something, but Su Rongrong made the decision directly: "Jinhong is right, Miaomiao, you can't move your straw mat.
Okay, let's make it a deal. We are in a hurry now, so we should split up and act separately."
She planned to go to the pawn shop tomorrow to pawn something and get some money first.
If it doesn't work, draw a few patterns and send them to the embroidery shop to see how much you can earn.
She has loved painting since she was a child, and since the original owner could also paint, she thought it would be no problem for her to draw two pictures.
Because of Su Rongrong's words, everyone stopped talking.
But he didn't stay in Su Jinhong's room, but moved to the room where Su Rongrong and Liu Miao lived yesterday.
That night, the four of them dozed off for a total of one hour.
Even Su Manman and Liu Miao, who had already finished making the hairpins, finally joined in Su Rongrong's hair ornaments.
When it was light, Liu Miao raised his head and turned his neck back and forth, saying:
"Rongrong, I'm going to make some porridge. You guys go ahead and get busy. When the porridge is ready, Manman and Qiaoqiao can eat some before going to sleep. I'll go to the embroidery shop with you."
Su Rongrong shook her head and put away the hair ornament she had just made. She also turned her slightly stiff neck and said:
"Miaomiao, go and make the porridge. Qiaoqiao and Manman, finish what you are doing and go and have a rest.
I'm going to find Master Baili and borrow his pen and ink.
I plan to try drawing a few clothing patterns and sell the pattern of this flower as well.
No matter how much money you can get, it is still some income.
Before I go back later, I will buy all the pots, pans, and utensils, and also try to buy more salt.
After we get back, we will have a good rest for a day and start going up the mountain to chop firewood tomorrow.
Our house is empty now. I expect this winter to be a cold one, so we need to prepare more firewood. "
When it comes to chopping wood, Su Manman has the say, and she quickly replied: "Sister, the day before yesterday Sister Tao Ya took me to chop wood.
She chopped some firewood and said it was for our family too.
But I came back from the mountain late that day, and the Qiaoqiao incident happened, so I ignored the firewood and just threw it on the ground.
I guess Sister Taoya sent her home yesterday."
Su Rongrong praised her for her active contribution to the family:
"Well, Manman, you did a great job. I'm happy that you can lighten the burden on the family!
But you are young, and you can only chop a day or maybe half a day, so the amount of wood you can chop is really limited.
On this day, no one knew when it would rain. I wanted to prepare more so that I would not have to worry about firewood throughout the winter.
It’s just that we don’t have any money now, otherwise we could buy it from the villagers.
They are all strong laborers and can chop wood faster than we do. They can chop several loads a day.
In less than three days, we will have all the firewood we need."
When Su Manman heard this, she couldn't help but sigh.
The family was really poor. Her eldest sister, who was only four years older than her, had to worry about the family.
What if she continues to be the same as before, only thinking about herself, her elder sister, or in other words, this family?
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Su Qiaoqiao, who had a frightened look on her face.
"Qiaoqiao, did you hear what elder sister said? Starting tomorrow, we all have to go up the mountain to chop firewood."
Su Zitai's wife Qi Jiaying was beautiful, and his children all inherited her beauty.
Whether it is Su Rongrong or Su Manman, they are much prettier than the girls in the village at a young age.
It's even worse when it comes to Su Qiaoqiao.
After He succeeded in adopting her, she wanted to marry her into a wealthy family.
She was not asked to do any work that would roughen her hands, but was treated harshly in terms of food and clothing.
So even though Su Qiaoqiao is thin and pale and doesn't wear very good clothes, there is not a single callus on her hands.
She was very reluctant to go up the mountain to chop firewood.
But I also know that the situation is stronger than people.
Now that she owes a large sum of debt and has signed an IOU, she must obey her sister's arrangements.
So, when she saw that her eldest and third sisters were looking at her, she showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"I see!"
Su Rongrong was very satisfied with her understanding. Seeing that she didn't make a fuss, she got up and left with Liu Miao.
Liu Miao went to the kitchen, and she went to find Baili Zheng.
Ever since the system gave Baili Zheng the task of getting into the top three in the county college entrance examination, he has spent a large amount of time every day reading books and doing exercises.
When Su Rongrong arrived at the study, he had already been up for a while reading in the morning.
When he saw someone, he said bluntly: "Miss Rongrong, go back as early as possible today!
Although the first batch of refugees will not cause any trouble, and Lord Wang will also find a way to resettle them, it is still different after all.
If you need anything, tell me and I'll have Da Hu deliver it to you."
Su Rongrong thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zheng, you need a household registration to buy salt, and the quantity is limited.
My daughter hasn't come down yet, so even if I want to buy it, I can't. Can you help me get some more?
It would be best if the amount is enough for our family to eat for a year or so!"
In ancient times, the management of salt was very strict. Su Rongrong wanted to buy some yesterday.
As it turned out, the private salt was expensive and she couldn't afford it.
Official salt is slightly cheaper, but it is limited and requires a user ID to purchase it.
