47 Chapter 47: The Generous Big Girl Li

“Hehe! There’s no hurry. You can give me after selling the Chinese yams tomorrow!” she said.

Qin Xiaoyao gently pushed away Big Girl Li’s hand.

“It’s the same if I give it to you now. With the money in your hands, you and your in-laws will feel more at ease, won’t you?”

Big Girl Li was surprised, but she didn’t stop Qin Xiaoyao again.

Once again, Big Girl Li began to admire Qin Xiaoyao’s character.

She must have been kicked in the head by a donkey before to think that her Sister Sanya was a bad person.

Qin Xiaoyao quickly walked out of the kitchen and went to the room next door to take out a silver coin and 70 copper coins.

Returning to the kitchen, she counted one silver coin and 56 copper coins for Big Girl Li.

Big Girl Li took the money and was so excited that she almost didn’t know what to do.

“I don’t have any eggs at home, so I want to buy some eggs to stir-fry with the Chinese Toon shoots. Big Girl, do you have eggs to sell at your place?” Qin Xiaoyao asked her after that.

Seeing that Big Girl Li was looking at her, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “Oh, I’ll use two taels of Chinese Toon shoots. Tomorrow, after I sell them for money, I’ll top up the value for these two taels of shoots, and then we’ll split the money.”

“No need!” Big Girl Li said quickly. “Goodness, Sister Sanya, I didn’t mean that!”

“You were the one who found the Chinese Toon shoots. Without you, I wouldn’t have recognized it even if it was right in front of me. You can use as much as you want. I have no objections! Honest!” Big Girl Li said quickly.

These were her true thoughts.

Right now, she only felt gratitude towards her Sister Sanya.

“Also, I have eggs at home!” Big Girl Li said again.

“I have three hens that lay eggs at home. My mother-in-law has saved up a lot of eggs. She said she would send them to town to sell when she had enough.”

“Sister Sanya, if you want, I’ll send you ten. You don’t need to pay!”

Of course, someone had to pay for the eggs, but Big Girl Li was willing to pay for them herself.

The eggs in her house were of average size, and they usually sell for one copper coin each in town.

Ten of them were only 10 copper coins, which was nothing compared to what she had earned today.

Qin Xiaoyao was very pleased with Big Girl Li’s words, but she didn’t accept her good intentions.

“Even blood sisters settle accounts clearly. We’re working together on a long-term basis, so we have to follow the rules we set. Even if I take just one tael of Chinese Toon shoots, I must still top up the value, not to mention two taels.”

“Also, how can I take the eggs for free?”

As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao gave the remaining 14 copper coins to Big Girl Li.

“There are 14 copper coins here. Help me bring it back to your mother-in-law and see how many eggs I can get from her.”

“I’ll pay according to the market price. You’re not allowed to give me more.” Qin Xiaoyao added when she saw that Big Girl Li was about to refuse.

Big Girl Li’s expression was full of conflicted emotions, and she felt very touched again.

“Alright,” she finally nodded and said.

At the same time, she made up her mind to follow her Sister Sanya and work hard in the future. Big Girl Li would treat her as her real sister.

“Then I’ll go back first. I’ll bring you the eggs later.”

“Alright.” Qin Xiaoyao agreed.

Only then did Big Girl Li pack her things and leave.

On the way back, she was still touched by Qin Xiaoyao’s kindness.

Madam Liu waited until Big Girl Li left before she came to Qin Xiaoyao’s side.

“This one that Daniu married, she’s a good one,” she said with a sigh.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled and turned her head to look at her mother-in-law.

In her mother-in-law’s eyes, there were probably not many bad people.

“Yes,” Qin Xiaoyao responded.

“By the way…” Madam Liu suddenly said.

Then, she reached into her pocket and took out five copper coins.

“After you two left, someone listened to your Aunt Li and came to our house to buy straw sandals.”

“Yun’er and I sold five pairs in total. Here are five copper coins. Take them.” Then, she shoved the five copper coins into Qin Xiaoyao’s hand.

Qin Xiaoyao was a little surprised, but she didn’t refuse and took the copper coins.

“Hehe! Not bad! I’m afraid that our family’s business of selling straw sandals is really taking off now!” She said with a smile.

No wonder her mother-in-law didn’t stop her from buying eggs just now. It turned out that she had earned money again.

It was a good thing!

Madam Liu was so happy that she couldn’t stop grinning.

“You are really resourceful. While the straw sandals can still be sold for money, Yun’er and I will squeeze more time to weave more!”

“Just do it in moderation. Don’t work too hard.” Qin Xiaoyao said.

“Don’t worry. I know how to pace myself.”

“It’s still early. I’ll go make a few more pairs!” With that, Madam Liu walked out.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled and didn’t stop her.

Meanwhile, Big Girl Li had already returned to the Liu family’s house.

At that moment, Aunt Liu had just returned from the field with Liu Xiaomei.

When she saw that her daughter-in-law had also returned, Aunt Liu couldn’t bring herself to talk to Big Girl Li because of what happened yesterday.

Liu Xiaomei, on the other hand, called out to her sister-in-law sweetly.

Big Girl Li didn’t really mind. She answered Xiaomei and looked at her mother-in-law with a smile.

“Mother!” She called out and walked quickly to Aunt Liu.

As she walked, she reached into her pocket.

Then, she took out a handful of copper coins from her pocket.

Upon closer inspection, there was even a small piece of silver inside.

Aunt Liu didn’t want to be nice to her daughter-in-law, but when she saw the money in Big Girl Li’s hand, she couldn’t take her eyes off it.

“This is… where did you get this?” She could not help but ask.

The corners of Big Girl Li’s mouth curled up in a smile.

“My Sister Sanya gave it to me!” She smiled smugly.

“This afternoon, Sister Sanya and I went into the mountains and dug up more Chinese yams.”

“Oh, it’s not just Chinese yams. There are also Chinese Toon shoots! Sister Sanya said that the Chinese Toon shoot is more valuable than Chinese yam!”

“However, she hasn’t sold the Chinese Toon shoots to Fortune Mansion yet. She doesn’t know the price for now, so she couldn’t calculate the price for me.”

Using the hand that was holding the copper coins, she knocked on her pocket that was filled with money. Big Girl Li smiled very brightly.

“This money is the amount Sister Sanya split with me for the Chinese yams. That’s a total of 156 copper coins!”

Aunt Liu and Liu Xiaomei’s eyes widened.

“How many…?” Even as she asked this, Aunt Liu felt her throat dry up.

Big Girl Li smiled proudly again.

“156 copper coins!”

“My Sister Sanya is very fair. She will split the harvest with me 60-40. She’ll get 60%, and I’ll get 40%!”

Aunt Liu swallowed her saliva. She did not dare to be hostile to her daughter-in-law anymore.

That daughter-in-law of Eldest Son Song’s family was really capable.

Her own daughter-in-law could really make a lot of money if she followed the Song family’s daughter-in-law.

Big Girl Li was very satisfied with her mother-in-law’s reaction and started to count the copper coins.

After counting out 31 copper coins, she handed the copper coins to her mother-in-law.

“There! We agreed on this before. I’ll give you 20% of the money I earn!”

Aunt Liu was a little embarrassed, but how could she refuse when she saw so much money?

She immediately accepted the copper coins.

“Uh-huh.” She mumbled in acknowledgment.

Seeing her mother-in-law’s expression, Big Girl Li felt even more gleeful.

She then saw her little sister-in-law looking at her with envy.

After some thought, she took out two copper coins and handed them to her little sister-in-law.

“Xiaomei, take this!”

Liu Xiaomei was very surprised. She wanted to accept them, but she was too embarrassed.

“It’s alright. Since your sister-in-law gave it to you, you should just take it.” It was only after Aunt Liu said this that Liu Xiaomei accepted the money with a red face.

“Thank you, Sister-in-law!” she mumbled.

Big Girl Li was very pleased.

“What’s there to thank? In the future, when Sister-in-law earns more money, I’ll buy you some nice food!”

Liu Xiaomei’s face turned even redder. She felt that her sister-in-law was such a nice person.
