Chapter 452: 452 Don I t smash it in your hand

“Wife, you really are a huge dumbass!” Xiao Yuchuan excitedly praised.

Su Qingyue’s facial expression immediately stiffened, “You’re the dumbass.”

“Thank you, wife,” he laughed, showing his white teeth, “So I’m a dumbass in my wife’s eyes too.” He looked at his second brother and fourth brother regretfully, “Too bad they’re not.”

Xiao Qinghe hesitantly said, “Qingyue, actually, second brother is quite smart too, he could also be called a… ‘

“Well…” she interrupted him, “Let’s continue with the matter at hand.”

“Wife, did you guess long ago that Rich Source Tavern wouldn’t be able to take in so many ferns?” There was a hint of admiration in Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes. Although it was a question, his tone was affirmative.

“Half and half,” she said lightly, “Rich Source Tavern definitely wouldn’t be able to take in so many, but it’s not impossible for other establishments to break the bitter taste of ferns and start buying them too. Anyway, we still need to take things one step at a time, only counting on success when we achieve it. I may have bought so many ferns, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that I’ll make a profit.”

“Yue’er, I believe in you,” said Xiao Yishan solemnly.

She hurriedly replied, “Second brother, don’t believe in me. I’m the least reliable…” She was the kind of person who could flip her attitude and kill someone at any moment.

“It’s fine even if we suffer a loss,” Qinghe’s voice was pleasant and elegant, “As you said, our family has prepared for the next half a year.”

“Wife, just go ahead and do it boldly,” Yuchuan also expressed strong support.

She shared her opinion, “Originally, with the extra thirty taels of silver, we could have bought more than two acres of land. But I want our family to live better and have the chance to make a fortune, so I went all out. Since you all agree, it means I’m doing the right thing.” She would definitely have to break away from the Xiao Family and act alone if they disagreed.

Xiao Qinghe still said the same thing, “Everything Qingyue does is right.”

Qingyue gave a faint smile, “I’m going to stop by Wang the Cripple’s house and get him to bring me twenty big jars.”

Then she went out for a while and talked to the village’s Wang Cripple, who herded cattle. She agreed to let him bring back twenty jars the next morning when he returned from sending visitors to town. In addition to renting his cart, she would give him an extra five cents for his trouble.

After leaving his house, Qingyue went to Aunt Zhang’s house.

It was nearly ten o’clock at night. She stood at the entrance and saw that the Zhang family’s house still had the lights on, so they were apparently not asleep yet.

“Aunt Zhang, are you at home?” she shouted at the entrance of the courtyard.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It’s the wife of the Xiao Family.” Aunt Zhang came out with an oil lamp, “Come in quickly…”

, “You and Old Zhang must be going to bed soon, I’m sorry to bother you so

late…”

“It’s still early,” Aunt Zhang led Qingyue into the main room, where there was a dining table and several chairs, “Have a seat.”

She sat down on one of the chairs.

Aunt Zhang put the oil lamp on the table and immediately went into the kitchen to pour a glass of water, “There’s no boiled water, just drink some well water.”

“You don’t need to be so polite…”

Aunt Zhang sat down across from her, “I heard that you bought all the ferns in the village. Don’t let them go to waste. Did that great landlord you’re buying on behalf of give you the money first? You also bought so many astringent plums, those wild plums are totally useless…”

She nodded. That ‘great landlord’ was none other than herself, “Aunt Zhang, I need to wash all the ferns I’ve collected. There’s a lot of work, and I want to find some helpers.. Do you think there’s anyone in the village willing to do this work?”
