The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

97 Chapter 97: Redistributing Work

Then, Madam Liu started to nag incessantly, telling her daughter-in-law to eat more and not mistreat herself.

What could Qin Xiaoyao do? Of course, she had to promise her.

...

After all, she couldn’t tell her mother-in-law that she had lost weight because she ate too little.

On the contrary, she actually had quite a big appetite. No one at home ate as much as she did.

At about 3:30 pm, Big Girl Li came to the door.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao carry the wicker baskets and the bamboo basket backpack and go into the mountains with Big Girl Li.

Why was she going into the mountains?

It was to dig for bamboo shoots and hunt for bamboo rats, of course.

More of the bamboo shoots could be dug up at once and then spread across a few delivery days.

As for hunting for bamboo rats, she had no choice but to go into the mountains every day.

As Fortune Mansion didn’t need much bamboo shoots every day, they didn’t have to worry about the bamboo shoots in the mountains.

Qin Xiaoyao wasn’t sure how long she could keep on hunting for bamboo rats either.

Fortunately, her husband was about to earn a large sum of money for the family. Even if she could not hunt for any more bamboo rats, she did not have to worry too much.

“You don’t know, but after my husband bought the handcart, he was so happy that he looked like a fool!”

“There’s also Erniu. He’s with his big brother, and each is pushing a handcart around the courtyard. The two brothers are no different from oxen that pull the ox-carts!” Big Girl Li regaled them happily.

After listening to Big Girl Li’s description, Qin Xiaoyao could imagine the scene of the two brothers playing with the handcarts like crazy.

When she thought of the two brothers’ names, she burst out laughing.

They really were two ‘oxen’, just like the character in their names.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao was amused, Big Girl Li laughed even more.

After a while, she toned down her mirth and said, “Daniu said that he can start work tomorrow.”

“Then, in the early stages, Erniu will go with him. With two brothers together, they can take care of each other.”

It was because her man was inexperienced and had never done such a business before.

By allowing Erniu to tag along, not only could Erniu gain experience, but Daniu could also be emboldened.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

“That’s not a problem. The two brothers can arrange it themselves,” she said.

After thinking for a while, she added, “I’ll prepare the price list for collecting goods tonight. Ask Daniu to come to my house tomorrow morning to get it,” she said.

It was all her Hubby’s fault for giving her such a big surprise that she had forgotten about Daniu.

“Okay!” Big Girl Li smiled and agreed.

Qin Xiaoyao thought for a while and said, “After that, when Daniu starts work, we’ll have to rearrange our job scope.”

“Okay! Sister Sanya, you can make the arrangements!”

“Hmm… If we’re digging for bamboo shoots, the plan remains the same. We’ll dig once every three days.”

Big Girl Li nodded.

“If we’re hunting for bamboo rats, there’s no use for you to follow me. You don’t have to follow me in the future. Just wait at my house.”

“After I have hunted the bamboo rats and brought them back, I’ll leave the skinning and meat processing to you.”

“Okay!” Big Girl Li nodded again.

“In addition, we’ll still have to work together on the fishing net. We’ll clear the net in the morning and evening. This can’t change.”

“Okay!”

“And then, the Chinese Toon shoots will still be picked every morning. In the future, I’ll leave this job to you alone. If that’s the case, you’ll have to set off from your home earlier.”

Big Girl Li’s expression finally became more serious.

“Okay!” Then, she nodded her head with determination.

“The next thing is, going into town.” Qin Xiaoyao’s expression turned serious.

Seeing Big Girl Li look at her, she continued, “In the future, we’ll have to push two handcarts into town.”

“Before we set off, we can distribute the goods evenly on both handcarts. When we reach the city gate, we can rearrange the goods and move the goods meant for Fortune Mansion onto one cart. The remaining cart will only carry the goods that we are going to sell in the market.”

Big Girl Li was surprised.

“The goods for the Mansion and Restaurant are not light, so I will deliver these goods. You can take the other handcart to the market and set up the stall first.”

“After I finish delivering the goods, I’ll go to the market on West Street to deliver the straw sandals to my father and your mother.”

“After that, I’ll go to the market on West Street and buy what I need. Then, I’ll meet up with you, and we’ll sell the goods together.”

“When the time comes, you can tell me what you want to buy. I’ll buy it for you. It’ll save you the trouble of making another trip.”

Big Girl Li understood, but she didn’t dare to nod her head.

The thing was, she didn’t have any experience setting up a stall, so she was afraid that she wouldn’t do well!

Qin Xiaoyao thought that Big Girl Li was worried about the money.

“Let’s split the money we earn equally from the stall,” she continued.

“The straw sandals are also included. We’ll sell one pair for four copper coins and earn one copper coin from selling a pair.”

“Once they are sold, we’ll each get 5% of the profit for each pair of straw sandals.”

“After that, it’s the same for Daniu’s woven bamboo utensils. After deducting the capital, we’ll split the money equally.”

Seeing Big Girl Li’s surprise, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “Of course, since I’ll split half of the profits with you, you’ll have to pay for the cost of buying the goods as well.”

Big Girl Li quickly nodded.

“In the future, our family’s straw sandals will be sold at the unit price of three copper coins per pair. You have to pay at the point of collecting the straw sandals.”

“After that, we have to pay for the woven bamboo utensils that Daniu has collected. The moment the goods arrive, we have to pay up. We’ll each pay half of the cost.”

Big Girl Li nodded again, thinking that her Sister Sanya’s arrangement was very reasonable.

Qin Xiaoyao finally stopped when she saw Big Girl Li’s dazed expression.

“Well… do you have any other questions?” she asked Big Girl Li.

“I do!” Big Girl Li quickly raised her hand.

“Go ahead.”

“I… I’ve never set up a stall before,” Big Girl Li said, feeling worried.

At most, she had only helped her parents look after their stall.

However, her parents only sold tofu, and most of the people who came to buy tofu were regular customers. It was different from selling straw sandals and woven bamboo utensils…

Qin Xiaoyao smiled. “No problem! You’ll pick it up quite fast!” she said encouragingly.

Seeing the look in Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes, Big Girl Li quickly encouraged herself.

Then, she said with determination, “Alright!”

With Sister Sanya around, what was she afraid of? If she learned from Sister Sanya, she could also become very capable.

Qin Xiaoyao was very pleased with Big Girl Li’s reaction.

“By the way, there’s something else…” Qin Xiaoyao was a little hesitant. After thinking about it, she decided to share it with her good sister.

The thing was that once they had a courtyard dwelling in town in the future, some plans might have to change.

“What’s the matter?” Big Girl Li looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a beaming face.

“Our family will probably be going to town to buy a courtyard dwelling soon,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

Big Girl Li was shocked.

“What?” She thought that she had heard wrong.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Big Girl Li.

“It’s my husband. He sold the sole-copy books in the house and saved enough money to buy a courtyard dwelling in town.” As she explained, she tried to keep her tone as calm as possible, but there was a note of irrepressible pride in it.

Of course, she was proud of her attractive husband.

Before this, Big Girl had advised her a lot, saying that her attractive husband only had a nice face and telling her not to spoil him too much.

Now, Big Girl should know what her attractive husband was capable of.

Her attractive husband wasn’t poor. He was rich!

He could get the money to buy the courtyard dwelling effortlessly.

“We’ve already discussed it. When we go to town tomorrow, I’ll go look for my father. I’ll ask my father to get a real estate broker to start searching.”

“My Hubby said that the price should be within 250 taels of silver. It’s fine as long as there’s a well and a cellar!”
