How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?
Chapter 4 The flower boy
Grandma Wang didn't quite agree and looked at her grandson, wanting him to make a decision.
Wang Xiaocong felt that these flowers were useless. At most, it would just take some time. It would be worth a try.
Now that they've all agreed, should they work together or go it alone? Xia Chu definitely leaned towards cooperation; she couldn't even move the large rock outside the dog hole. She went over her arguments in her head and said slowly, "Then let's work together. I'll sell the flowers, and you guys help pick them. You'll take 60% of the proceeds, and I'll take 40%."
Although Wang Xiaocong was somewhat intelligent, he had no experience in educating an eleven-year-old. "Sixty percent and forty percent, how do you divide it?"
"If it sells for ten cents, you get six and I get four."
"Ah, this?" Grandma Wang felt something was wrong. She looked at Xiao Cong and said, "You came up with the idea. It's hard work to hawk it. You should take more."
Xia Chu shook her head. "You brought me here, otherwise I would never have known about it. 40% is already too much."
Wang Xiaocong felt that his grandmother's kindness was not in vain. Although his eldest brother was very strong, he also ate a lot, and the family was always short of food. Thinking of the children who had no one to rely on, his grandmother couldn't help but help out a little when she had some spare energy, and he didn't object. Now that he had received a reward, he would be closer in the future. "Split it in half."
Xia Chu just wanted to make money quickly to pay for Erwa's medical treatment. She would find a way to make more money in the future and then repay him. "Then let's try it today!"
"Okay!" Wang Xiaocong made the decision, and the three of them left the wild vegetables and started picking flowers.
In early summer, I found some tough grass stems and tied them into bunches of six or eight. The stems covered the thorns so they wouldn't hurt my hands. I also prepared some untied ones, which you can buy individually.
The three of them discussed it and decided that one stick would be three cents, six sticks would be sixteen cents, and eight sticks would be twenty cents.
There were so many flowers that Xia Chu couldn't carry them all. Grandma Wang wove a basket out of grass stems so she could carry them. Her face was fair and clean, and when she smiled, she had two dimples, which made her look endearing. If it weren't for her shabby clothes, someone would have believed she was a spoiled child.
Xia Chu walked on the busy streets. She had never done this kind of work before and was a little scared. "For Erwa, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Flowers for sale! Fresh, beautiful roses! Sisters, aunts, aunts, give me one!" Xia Chu called out as she found her target audience. They were two young women walking hand in hand. She walked over and said crisply, "Sister, you're so beautiful. Give me a flower. A flower in your hair, like a beautiful rose, and the spring color will dye your clothes red."
"Huh? This naughty boy can even recite poetry." One of the girls in pink covered her face with a fan and joked with a smile.
"It's all because my sister is so beautiful that I can't help but think of this poem." Xia Chu said without blushing or beating her heart.
"I'm praising you. Why don't you buy one quickly?" said another girl in green.
The pink-dressed girl giggled and punched her, then asked Xia Chu, "How much do you sell these flowers for?"
"Only three cents, and you can bring the beauty of spring home." Xia Chu smiled and handed over a flower.
"Your mouth is like honey." The pink-dressed girl took out three coins and said, "Then I'll buy your spring beauty."
"Give me a touch of spring." The girl in green also took out money.
"Thank you, sister~" Xia Chu thanked her, "This yellow flower goes perfectly with your pink dress. This pink one goes perfectly with your green dress. Be careful of the thorns, sister."
"You are a flower seller, but you know a lot." The girl in pink said happily.
"I'll put it on for you."
The shop opened successfully, and Xia Chu continued to sell. This time she chose a beautiful woman, but her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was not very happy. "Sister, give me a flower, a hairpin full of flowers, a smile as beautiful as a blooming flower."
The woman was startled, then smiled softly when she saw that it was a cute boy. "Then have one."
"Sister, when you smile, you're as beautiful as a flower goddess. A flower costs three cents. Let the fragrance of the flower accompany you." Xia Chu saw her with her face bare, only a jade hairpin in her hair, and a snow-white long dress. But the fabric of her clothes and the handkerchief in her hand all looked very expensive. It seemed that something had happened at home.
The woman was stunned again, her eyes slightly red. The young man in front of her was dressed in tattered clothes, with only a sweet smile on his pale face. Her heart softened and she asked, "How much do you want for a few bundles?"
"This one with six stems is sixteen cents, and the one with eight stems is twenty cents. Put these in a vase, don't soak the stems in water, and they'll smell fragrant for days."
"Then let this fragrance accompany me for a few days." The woman's lips curled slightly, but she had no worldly possessions on her. She waved back, and a beautiful girl came over with lowered eyebrows. "Yuzhi, give him twenty coins."
"Yes." Yuzhi took out the smallest piece of silver from her purse and handed it over.
Xia Chu didn't answer, and said in embarrassment: "Sister, don't you have copper coins? I can't make the change."
"Give it to him, take the flowers and go home." The woman said lightly and left.
Yuzhi did as she was told, took the flowers and followed.
Wow! We've got the money for Erwa's medical bill! Xia Chu jumped for joy, but then remembered she was almost thirty and this was too contrived. Perhaps it was just a child's body, not quite under control. She nodded, fully agreeing with her own thoughts.
Then she started selling flowers. She was sweet-talking and cute. She only targeted people who looked well-off, and she was practically unstoppable. She could sell anything she asked. A basket of flowers sold out in no time, which made her a little overconfident.
She trotted back, carrying her empty basket. It was still early. If she sold a few more, she might have some money left over to treat Da Wa and the others to a nice meal and buy some clothes.
As soon as I left the busy main street, I was blocked by a man. He looked to be in his twenties or thirties, with a pointed face and a lewd smile, and he had bad intentions. "Hey kid, you just made a lot of money, give some to your brother to spend."
Xia Chu glanced at the small buildings to her left and right, then suddenly burst into a scream. Children's voices are naturally sharp, and with her intentional scream, the sound was like a demonic sound piercing one's ears.
"Shut up!" the man yelled, taking two steps forward to cover her mouth. Xia Chu dodged his hand nimbly, still screaming.
The windows on the small buildings on both sides opened one after another, "Howling!"
"Can you take care of your child?"
"Are you crazy? Shut up!"
"My head is about to explode! What is that kid yelling about?"
"Stop!"
"Shut up!"
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Xia Chu began to cry: "Dear uncles and aunts, I don't mean to disturb you. But this uncle wants me to give him the money I gave to save my brother's life. I don't want to, and he won't let me go. My brother is dying of illness and is waiting for me to sell flowers to save his life. Wuuwawa... Can anyone help me! My brother is dying!"
"Hey, go! I don't think he dares to stop you!" A hot-tempered man upstairs jumped directly from the second floor. Xia Chu widened his eyes and praised him for his might!
Then, the man grabbed the man who was trying to rob the money and said, "Go away, kid! I don't think he dares!"
The second hoodlum who was blocking the road shrank his neck and tried to leave, but the strong man who jumped down grabbed the back of his neck. "Kid, get out of here!"
"Thank you, uncle! Uncle, you are so handsome! Uncle, you are a hero!" Xia Chu noted the house the man came down from and ran away with the empty basket.
"You want money, right? Come to me! I have money, how much do you want?"
"Master! I won't dare to do it again! I won't dare to do it again! Please spare me!"
"If I see you on this street again, I'll beat you to death! Get out!"
"Get out, get out, ouch! Stop kicking! I'm getting out right away!"
