Chapter 58: Just tell me whether you will inform me or not.

“Ye Jiu, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you,” Ye Jiu said.

Ye Gaosheng hurriedly got up and walked clumsily to Ye Jiu, asking to please her, “Little sister, what do you need from your fourth brother?”

“Fourth brother, do you know where I can buy caustic soda?” Ye Jiu asked.

This was another very important ingredient for making soap; only caustic soda could oxidize the lard successfully to create soap. Without it, not to mention washing hands or faces, it would only be greasier.

Ye Jiu had just finished speaking when Ye Gaosheng jumped in shock, “Little sister, why do you ask about this? Caustic soda is dangerous, you can’t just play with it.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t play around, I need it for a serious matter,” Ye Jiu responded.

...

“What matter?” Ye Gaosheng asked.

“It’s about whether our family will live a good life or continue to struggle,” Ye Jiu teased, saying, “Just tell me where to buy it.”

“That won’t do. Unless you tell me what it’s for, I can’t tell you. If you mess up, Mother will definitely flay my skin,” Ye Gaosheng shook his head.

Seeing Ye Gaosheng’s caution, Ye Jiu couldn’t help but despise him, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll just tell Mother that you bullied me, and she will flay your skin just the same.”

“Little sister, when have I ever bullied you? I’m just worried about you, you can’t treat your fourth brother like this,” Ye Gaosheng pleaded immediately.

Mrs. He wouldn’t care whether Ye Jiu was telling the truth or not; as long as she believed it, no one else could do anything about it.

Ye Jiu was only trying to scare him; besides, she wasn’t the type to frivolously make complaints without a reason.

Looking at Ye Gaosheng, Ye Jiu spoke soothingly, “Fourth brother, I need caustic soda for a serious matter, I promise I won’t misuse it, just tell me, will you?”

“No way, unless you tell me what you need it for, I won’t say,” Ye Gaosheng stubbornly refused.

Left with no choice, Ye Jiu said, “I want to make money, a lot of money so that Mother and Father can eat meat every day and not worry about having enough food until the next harvest. I also want to build a house, a big and beautiful house where everyone in our family can have their own courtyard, so Mother won’t have to worry about you not having a place to live once you get married.”

Looking into Ye Jiu’s round, earnest eyes, Ye Gaosheng guiltily rubbed her head, “Little sister, earning money to support the family is a man’s job, you’re just a girl, you should just grow up carefree and protected at home, Fourth brother is getting older, and after this year, I’ll go to town with your older brothers to work and earn more money for your future.”

Ye Gaosheng knew their family’s situation was tough, but he had never taken it to heart because compared to others, their situation wasn’t the worst.

However, seeing even Ye Jiu, a girl, worrying about money, made him feel that he couldn’t be so carefree anymore.

Ye Gaosheng’s words made Ye Jiu roll her eyes instantly, “Older brothers are in town except during the busy season, and over these years, they’ve never saved money. Do you think you are smarter than them or stronger than them?”
