Chapter 178 - 178 Saving Money

178 Saving Money

This kind of small wooden bucket was normally sold at 30 wen.

When she was at the grocery store, she had been staring at the shop assistant loading the goods and did not pay attention to how much Yue’er paid Mr. Jin.

If she bought more, she would definitely be able to get a cheaper price, but that was a discount of 6 wen!

Liu Shi thought of something and then looked at Aunt Wang with a smile.

“If you want to buy anything in the future, you can ask Yue’er first. During the construction period, she was in charge of buying everything.”

“Because she bought a lot of things, she is familiar with the owners of several shops in town. Maybe she can help you save some money.”

If it was someone else, she would not trouble her daughter.

However, Aunt Wang’s family was different. In the past, she had helped them, and now, she was helping her daughter.

That’s why she had to help them save money. At the same time, she could also help her daughter get a better reputation.

As expected, Aunt Wang’s eyes lit up when she heard this.

“Right. Today, I went to the grain store to buy brown rice and noodles. Mr. Qian only rounded down the bill because of Yue’er!” Aunt Wang said excitedly.

“She is so influential!”

“Not at all. She just has thick skin!” Liu Shi smiled humbly.

In fact, she was very proud.

Then, Liu Shi talked to Aunt Wang about hiring people to collect grass for the ox.

“If Xiao’er goes to town to work, it’ll be too much work for me and the two children. Now that the cold cake business has started, I don’t have the time to do other things.”

“Let’s see if AuntJiang comes over in the afternoon. If she doesn’t, I’ll go to her house and ask. I’ll ask if her family is willing to take this job. I might also ask her to help me.”

Liu Shi smiled and looked at Aunt Wang.

“Why don’t you also ask her to take care of the two piglets at your house? Let her feed them for two months.”

Wang Erya would also follow her daughter to the market in the future.

Even if they hired someone to collect the grass for the pigs, it would take time to prepare the feed.

The Wang family might be as busy as them.

Aunt Wang was actually a little tempted.

“There’s no rush. I’ll wait for my husband and son to come back tonight. We’ll make a decision after the whole family has a discussion.”

“Alright! Then I’ll go ask Aunt Jiang first.” Liu Shi said.

“Sure! In any case, she and the three girls are all at home, and they’re just worrying about not being able to find work.”

The two of them chatted and laughed as they quickly washed the wooden buckets.

After that, they carried the remaining wooden buckets and put them on the shelf.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue was already cooking.

The fragrant smell of food wafted out of the kitchen, making them drool.

Seeing that the wooden buckets were washed, and that Lin Xiaoyue was not making cold cakes at the moment, Aunt Wang was going to leave.

Liu Shi wouldn’t let her leave and asked her to stay for dinner.

Lin Xiaoyue heard the noise and came out of the kitchen.

“You don’t have to be polite. I have a lot of things to do in the afternoon, so I’ll have to trouble you to help me after eating,” Lin Xiaoyue laughed.

“Let’s eat together. You can also bring some food back to Erya so that you don’t have to cook.”

“I shouldn’t…” Aunt Wang was about to walk out.

But she was stopped by Liu Shi.

“You’re still being too polite with my family.”

Seeing that Aunt Wang still wanted to leave, Liu Shi quickly said, “if you leave, that means you don’t treat us as family.”
