Chapter 187 Making money
"I think this is a good idea. Let's plant the same next year. We can sell the sweet potatoes and eat them ourselves. Anyway, we don't have to worry about anything."
Xu Qingshan made the final decision.
Putting aside other things, Su He is always trustworthy. Since Su He has said so, they might as well give it a try. There is nothing to lose.
"Well, I guess that's fine."
Su Xiaoyun also had a happy look on his face. If the harvest was good next year, the family's situation would gradually improve.
"Also, what do you think this is?"
Xu Lian took out something wrapped in a handkerchief. She moved the bowl in front of her to make some space, and poured out everything in her hand.
The three people in front of them were shocked to see that what was poured out on the table were actually silver coins.
And it looks like there are at least four or five hundred coins here.
"Xiao Lian, what is this......?"
Su Xiaoyun was very confused. She didn't know how Xu Lian had so much silver. When she went to the Su family before, she left in a hurry, and she didn't get a penny when they divided the family property.
She didn't give any money to Xu Lian, so how come she brought back so much money after living in the Su family for a while?
Could it be that Old Lady Su secretly gave it to Xu Lian? That’s not possible!
The Su family had already given them a lot of money before. It cost a lot to build the wall and repair the house, as well as the family expenses during this period.
But you must never take any more money from the Su family. How could Xu Lian be so ignorant of etiquette?
Su Xiaoyun suddenly became anxious, thinking that the silver must have been secretly given to Xu Lian by Old Lady Su.
"Yeah, where did this come from, so many?"
Xu Qingshan is also an honest man. Faced with so much money, his first reaction was not happiness, but some anxiety.
I’m afraid it’s money of unknown origin.
Although he still trusted his daughter, and Xu Lian was not a cunning person, she was an honest farmer.
But seeing Xu Lian take out so much money at once, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Sister, there are so many!"
Xu Yuan also widened his eyes. He put down his chopsticks and stopped eating the meat on the table.
Xu Lian smiled softly. As soon as she looked at her parents' expressions, she knew they must have had some wrong ideas.
He quickly explained, "These are all the money I earned when I was at the Su family these days."
Did Xu Lian earn it herself?
The three of them were even more surprised. How could this person earn so much? You know, even if they went to the town to do odd jobs, they would do hard labor and might not earn ten cents a day.
"When I first arrived at the Su family, I had nothing to do. My cousin was afraid that I would be alone and have wild thoughts, so she asked me to help her with some embroidery."
Su He asked Xu Lian to embroider the pattern she drew, but she didn't expect that Su He would give her silver later.
After further questioning, it was discovered that Su He had taken all the embroidery works of Xu Lian to Tan Siniang's shop.
Tan Si Niang thought Xu Lian's embroidery work was pretty good, so she accepted it. Later, the material she brought back was precious, so the price naturally went up a lot.
Su He didn't take any of the money he earned and gave it all to Xu Lian.
When she said she wanted to come back yesterday, Su He had already told her everything.
Su He has already made an agreement with Tan Si Niang that in the future, the embroidery works made by Xu Lian can be brought directly to her shop.
Because of Su He's face, not only did she find Xu Lian an embroidery job, but she also paid a fair price.
Su Xiaoyun and Xu Qingshan were surprised and happy after hearing what Xu Lian said.
This is a great thing, and it is all thanks to Su He. Otherwise, this shop would have its own embroiderer and would not accept embroidery from outside.
Moreover, the price offered is not low. The middle-aged men in this village may not be able to earn this much money by looking for work in the town.
From now on, the family will have an extra source of income, and they won't have to live so tight.
"Then you're not at your grandparents' house anymore. Can you go there by yourself when the time comes?"
Su Xiaoyun asked with some concern. After all, this person was doing it for Su He's sake. If she went there herself in the future, she didn't know if it would be possible.
Xu Lian smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. My cousin took me to the cloth shop once, and the shopkeeper recognized me."
When Su He was setting up a stall in the town before, he took Xu Lian there once. She will be able to go there by herself in the future, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Besides, my cousin and his family are still in town.
"Don't worry about it. Ah He asked for this, so I don't think it's wrong."
Xu Qingshan was relieved. Now the situation at home was getting better and better, and he felt relieved.
"Sister, you are so amazing!"
Xu Yuan looked at Xu Lian, his eyes sparkling.
My sister looks like a completely different person now, and she can even earn money on her own. I wish he could be as capable as her.
"Ayuan is also very capable. During the time when my sister was away, you were the one who helped our parents with the work. You have become the little adult of our family."
After hearing what Xu Lian said, Su Xiaoyun and Xu Qingshan laughed and nodded at Xu Yuan in agreement.
Xu Yuan is old enough to enjoy playing, but since the family split up, he no longer goes out to play with the boys in the village.
He followed Xu Qingshan all day long, helping him work in the fields, and he also put in a lot of effort.
Su Xiaoyun's eyes were slightly red. Seeing that everyone in the family was working together, life at home seemed to be getting better.
This was something I never dared to think about before, but now I can finally feel the reward for my hard work.
"Mother, you should be happy. My cousin said that our family's life will get better and better in the future."
When she first started going to town with her cousin, she learned a lot and showed her many things that she had never seen before.
Su Xiaoyun nodded.
"Okay, let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
The Xu family was having a great time. When the moon was high in the sky, Su Dawu and his friend also returned to the Su family.
After dinner, the Su family went to the yard to enjoy the cool air while waiting for the two of them.
By the time the two of them went back to the house and took a shower, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo had already heated up the food left for them and brought it out.
"I thought you guys weren't coming back tonight. If I had known, I would have asked Amu to pull the ox cart to pick you up."
While eating dinner, Su Dawu responded with a smile:
"Of course not. My younger sister and brother-in-law asked us to stay, but we thought we would not interfere with the housework tomorrow, so we just rushed back."
There are many merchants buying sweet potato flour now. As long as the Su family members have nothing to do, they will go to the workshop to help. If they come back early, they can do more work.
"Have your younger sister and her friends finished harvesting the crops in their fields?"
Old Man Su asked worriedly.
