Chapter 69: Teaching Daughter Again

“Dad, are we going to pay back the money or sell the goods first?” Because Sun Yumei was on the way, the family of four had been chatting with her and hadn’t talked about it yet. Now, Gu Xin asked.

“Xin Xin can decide!” Gu Shouxin said with a smile.

“Then let’s pay back the money first!” Gu Xin said after thinking for a while.

“Okay, then we’ll listen to Xin Xin and pay the money back first. After we pay the money back, we’ll go sell things,” Gu Shouxin said.

“Husband, Nian Nian, Xin Xin, it’s best if we sell our dregs of sea pepper to a restaurant. They don’t know how to cook it, so let Nian Nian go to the restaurant and cook a plate. Then we’ll eat in the restaurant!” Cai Xiaolian said.

“Yes, that’s right, Mother, that’s a good idea!” Gu Nian nodded.

“But Mother, the food in a restaurant is very expensive. Do we have enough money? Father wants to study. I heard from Grandfather that studying costs a lot of money. My cousin was disobedient in school, so Uncle scolded him for not wasting money!” Gu Xin had no objection to selling things in front of them, but she was skeptical about eating.

“It’s okay. It’s the first time Xin Xin and Nian Nian are in the county. Father will treat you,” Gu Shouxin said with a smile.

“That’s right, Xin Xin. The vegetables in our field will be ready in four days. We can also sell them for silver! We worked so hard to make dregs of sea pepper, sell cakes, make dried turnips, and spicy cabbage. Isn’t it just to live a better life, eat well, and dress well? Otherwise, why would we work so hard?” Gu Nian said.

“Xin Xin, let me tell you, this silver is not saved, but earned. Let me give you an example. Let’s sell the dregs of sea pepper to the restaurant. The restaurant spent five taels of silver to buy it, and then we took the five taels of silver to this restaurant to eat. We only spent two taels of silver, and there are still three taels of silver left. As for the restaurant’s manager, he spent two taels of silver to sell our cake to eat. In the end, don’t we still have five taels of silver left?”

“We made money and ate delicious food. Isn’t that great?”

Cai Xiaolian gave Gu Xin another analogy.

“Mom is right, but, but…” Gu Xin thought about it. It was indeed true, but what was wrong with it?

“Hahaha, Xin Xin, don’t think so much. Remember, Mom and Dad both want the best for you and your sister. You are the darlings of Mom and Dad! Although the food and clothes we eat are not the best, one day we will have the best. Father is here to promise Xin Xin!” Gu Shouxin said firmly.

“Father, I don’t want the best. I want Father, Mother, and Sister to always be by my side. If you are happy, I will be happy!” Gu Xin said seriously.

…

The ox-cart arrived at the county town. Apart from Gu Shouxin, the mother and daughter once again turned into stars.

Taoyuan County was a large county in the Qingzhou Capital. It had a relatively large population and was located in the center of the territory of Great Yan. The houses were built better and more exquisite than those in the Zhou family town. The people on the streets also looked richer.

Anyway, Cai Xiaolian had seen a fatty. After selling cakes in the Zhou family town for so many days, Cai Xiaolian had never seen a fatty. She had only seen a few plump people.

She had thought that all of them were slim in ancient times!

Moreover, there were very few ox-carts in the city. Most of them were driven by mules and horse carriages.

They did not know anyone in the county, so they drove the cart directly to the gambling house that owed them money.

It was morning, and no one had come to the gambling house yet. Generally, the gambling house had the most people in the afternoon and evening..
