Chapter 123: Fraudulent Mother 22 Silver
"Yeah, what's the matter?"
"Then it's like I'm lending you money, which is like loan sharking." Zhao Shiying argued.
"Hey~~~ you little brat, you gave me your money for safekeeping, so I am like a bank, right? Money deposited in a bank doesn't earn any interest, and you have to pay me a handling fee and a safekeeping fee, so you have to pay me money." Wang Ronghua suddenly thought, and the more he talked, the more he felt that this was the case.
".......Impossible, absolutely impossible, you bullied the child, and mother bullied her daughter. I'm going to tell grandma, wuwaaaa~~~" Zhao Shiying was unable to win the argument so she decided to cheat. It was okay to cry and to complain anyway.
My mother definitely can't do anything to her.
Zhao Shiying cried loudly while covering her eyes with her hands, occasionally looking at Wang Ronghua through the gaps between her fingers.
Wang Ronghua: “….”
So helpless, there is no three-year-old baby to mess with.
"There's no use crying. I don't have fifty taels." Wang Ronghua was annoyed by Zhao Shiying's crying and said loudly.
"Then give me twenty taels and we'll let it go," Zhao Shiying said while crying.
He was hiccuping while talking, and looked really pitiful.
"Mom, why don't you give it to your younger sister and let her try. If she can really make preserved eggs and sell them, then our family will have another delicacy that can sell for a long time." Zhao Shimin chimed in, but what she said was the truth.
Wang Ronghua thought about it and realized that it was true. Never mind. Why would he get angry with a kid? It’s just twenty taels. He could just give it to him.
"Okay, then I'll give you twenty taels, but don't ask me for New Year's money again." Wang Ronghua frowned.
"Yeah, I will definitely not ask you for money anymore." Zhao Shiying grinned.
Hahaha! ! !
I didn't expect it would be so easy to get the money.
If she hadn't heard her sister tell her that she got New Year's money, she wouldn't have known about it.
I didn't expect that after blasting like this, I could get twenty taels from my mother.
Good, she was satisfied.
"Wait until your father comes back, we'll get the money and give it to you tomorrow." Wang Ronghua nodded with a smile, she was really amused by this little guy.
"Okay, mother, you've worked hard, let me massage your legs." After Zhao Shiying finished speaking, she ran over to massage Wang Ronghua's legs. Although her strength was not strong, her movements were very effective.
Wang Ronghua touched Zhao Shiying's head with amusement.
This child is very clever and I don’t know who he looks like. He will definitely be an extraordinary person when he grows up.
When Zhao Guocheng came back in the evening, Wang Ronghua told him about this matter. Zhao Guocheng laughed so hard. He didn't expect his little girl to be so capable that she could actually cheat twenty taels of silver from his wife. She was really capable! He didn't have this ability.
Zhao Guocheng had just brought back twenty taels of silver from delivering goods these days. Before he could even warm the money, he gave it to Wang Ronghua.
The next day, Zhao Guocheng went to deliver the goods early, and when he came back he bought a lot of meat, a rack of pig offal, and pig bones.
After handing it over to Wang Ronghua, I went to the workshop to work.
"Come here, give me the twenty taels of silver you asked for." Wang Ronghua took out some small change and several strings of copper coins, put them in a small cloth bag and stuffed them into Zhao Shiying's hand.
"Thank you, mother. I won't be polite then." Zhao Shiying took the small cloth bag with a smile.
"Don't count them?" Wang Ronghua raised her eyebrows and looked at the little girl with amusement.
"No need to count, I trust my mother." Zhao Shiying grinned and put the money away immediately.
"Then when will mother be free to take me to collect duck eggs?" Zhao Shiying asked.
"Let's do it in the afternoon. I have to cook for so many people in the morning and I don't have time." Wang Ronghua said.
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to mother," Zhao Shiying said obediently.
"...Now you know to listen to your mother, you money-grubber!" Wang Ronghua pinched Zhao Shiying's nose.
Zhao Shiying: “.......” My nose is about to fall off!
Zhao Shimin also watched this scene with amusement.
"Little sister, do you still want to borrow my one or two taels of silver?" Zhao Shimin asked.
"Borrow it, of course." Zhao Shiying nodded.
"Of course, if you don't lend me the money, I'll treat it as a business partnership with you, but you'll only take one or two taels of silver, how about that?" Zhao Shiying said, not taking too much advantage of her sister.
"No, it doesn't matter to me whether I make money or not. I don't have such a strong obsession. If you need money, you can take it. You can return it to me after you get your money back." Zhao Shimin smiled and took out the silver from her bosom and stuffed it into Zhao Shiying's pocket.
"Okay then, but who would complain about having too much money?" Zhao Shiying said with a smile.
"You, you are such a money-grubber. How do you know all these ideas at such a young age? You have been a mischievous child since you were young. Let's see who can control you when you grow up." Wang Ronghua shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Hehe~~~Then it's probably not born yet." Zhao Shiying said with a smile.
Then he went back to his room and hid the silver.
This is a huge sum of money, twenty-one taels of silver.
After lunch, Wang Ronghua took Zhao Shimin and Zhao Shiying out.
Of course, I went to buy duck eggs.
These duck eggs are more expensive than chicken eggs, costing two cents each.
After searching the whole village, we only found about fifty duck eggs.
"That's all we've collected today. Let's go to the market tomorrow and ask your father to buy some when he delivers the goods." Wang Ronghua said.
"Thank you, Mom. You can also help me buy salt and tea..." Zhao Shiying listed the necessary materials.
Wang Ronghua nodded.
I have a lot of wood ash at home, so I don’t need to buy this.
In the evening, Wang Ronghua told Zhao Guocheng about this. Zhao Guocheng supported it very much and went to buy it the next day without letting Zhao Shiying spend any money.
This made Zhao Shiying smile, after all, the money saved could be used to buy more duck eggs.
Zhao Guocheng also bought two hundred duck eggs, which was quite a lot.
There were quite a lot of empty pottery jars at home, so Zhao Shiying asked her sister to help wash them and make preserved eggs, also known as preserved eggs.
Of course, Zhao Shimin's help is necessary, and Wang Ronghua also comes to help occasionally.
However, these are all preliminary work. The actual process of making preserved eggs will be done in the afternoon, and lunch for so many people must be prepared in the morning. Wang Ronghua and Zhao Shimin cannot spare much time to help Zhao Shiying.
Part of the workshop has been built now. Zhao Guocheng has been transporting bricks back continuously these days. Fortunately, he is keeping accounts and agreed to settle the bill after completion. Of course, the shopkeeper would only agree after paying a partial deposit.
Although this is not the first time we have cooperated, it is a hard truth that we will feel at ease only when we see the money.
"Shuanzi, hurry up and bring some cement over here, there is not enough." Erbazi shouted at Shuanzi.
