49 -49: Checking Money

Lin Qiu curiously looked at the goods her sister brought back last time, feeling that the products from the provincial city were indeed attractive.

Lin Xia washed her hands and face and then crawled into bed to catch up on some sleep.

Before closing her eyes, she told Lin Qiu to call her at ten o’clock.

Lin Qiu felt a bit heartbroken, “Sister!

Just get a good sleep!

Isn’t it the same if you go sell tomorrow?”

Lin Xia looked at her and smiled, “It’s okay, Xiaoqiu.

I’ll rest for a while and then I’ll be revived.

Selling these will bring in money to buy things for the family!”

The goods in her hands had to be quickly turned into money.

After that, she would go up the mountain for a big sweep.

If she went too late, she feared there wouldn’t be many hazelnuts left.

Then she would make a few more trips back and forth to earn more money.

With money in hand, she wouldn’t panic or fear even if unforeseen events happened in the future.

Lin Qiu also knew the family’s situation, so she didn’t persuade her further…

Lin Xia felt much better after her sleep, called awake by Lin Qiu, no longer feeling as uncomfortable as she had right after getting off the bus.

She couldn’t help but reflect that a young body was indeed more resilient.

A few years from now, the same exertion would definitely be unsustainable.

By then, Lin Xia felt hungry.

She had some porridge and got herself tidied up.

Because she wanted to sell hair clips, she found a plywood sheet at home, covered it with a red cloth, slung her bag over her shoulder, and rode her bicycle to Chopstick Factory No.

1.

That day, when she had sold all the scarves, some female workers had immediately asked her when she would come next, so she thought of hitting Factory No.

1 first, then moving on to Factory No.

2 when sales at the first one slowed down.

At lunchtime, when the factory gates opened, people came out, some riding and others pushing their bicycles.

Those who had sharp eyes and had bought Lin Xia’s scarves spotted her.

Seeing that she was selling more than just scarves, they gathered around.

Lin Xia was selling hair clips this time.

She placed the plywood she had brought from home on the back rack of her bike and spread the red cloth over it, then displayed several different hair clips, making it quite eye-catching.

“Girl!

You finally came?”

“These hair clips look really nice, how much are they?”

Everyone crowded around, bombarding Lin Xia with questions.

Lin Xia greeted everyone with a smile first and softly told them the prices.

During the lunch break, Lin Xia sold a good number of scarves and even more hair clips, which went faster than the scarves.

This time, having her own home, she didn’t have to squat in a hidden corner to count her money stealthily.

Lin Xia rode her bike home feeling delightful.

When she arrived, Lin Dong and Lin Qiu had just finished eating.

The two of them saw the smile on Lin Xia’s face and knew she must have sold a lot.

The two of them huddled around Lin Xia quietly inquiring.

Lin Xia didn’t even know exactly how much she had made.

“Let’s count it together then!”

So, they locked the door and the three of them quietly counted the money inside the house.

Counting the large and small bills, even the coins, they found the task exceptionally joyful.

Seeing the happy, excited, red-cheeked faces of her brother and sister, their eyes gleaming with excitement yet trying not to laugh aloud, Lin Xia’s smile grew even wider.

Previously, she would hide in a hidden corner to count the money—none of the shared joy she felt now.

She had decided to sell everything first and then go pick hazelnuts in the mountain.

After gathering enough, she would head to the provincial city, ensuring that none of her trips were wasted.

Was there ever going to be a fear of not having money to make?

After dinner, Lin Qiu wouldn’t let Lin Xia wash the dishes, insisting she rest in the quilt on the kang.

Lin Xia noticed that her sister would feel uncomfortable both physically and mentally if she didn’t work, so even though it was only a few bowls, she didn’t argue with her about it.

After selling some goods and making some money, Lin Xia felt a sense of satisfaction and slept soundly.

When she woke up around four o’clock, she was fully rested and set out to sell scarves.

This time, she didn’t go to Chopstick Factory No.

1 but instead went to Chopsticks Factory No.

2.

Perhaps because some people between the two factories knew each other, they gathered around Lin Xia when they saw her selling items, asking for prices and noting that they finally saw her coming to sell at their factory’s entrance, which made it quite lively.

Although it took a bit more conversation, she really sold quite a lot.

As Lin Xia left Chopsticks Factory No.

2, she figured she would come back for another day and probably sell most of her stock.

Business was really good now!

No wonder many people said that at this time, as long as you dare to think, dare to act, and endure hardships, you could generally make money!

After Lin Xia returned home, she found her eldest brother Lin Chun was there.

Lin Xia set down her cross-body bag and smiled as she asked, “You’re here, Big Brother!

Have you eaten yet?”

Lin Chun, seeing his younger sister return, had a joyful expression.

He knew in his heart that she must have sold a lot.

Before Lin Xia had returned, Xiaoqiu and Lin Dong had already excitedly recounted the events in a whisper.

“Not yet!

I was thinking of waiting a bit to eat with you!

Xiaoxia, you must be exhausted from these past few days, I see your cheeks have even sunken,” Lin Chun observed carefully, feeling a bit of heartache for his older sister.

The back-and-forth journeys and the hard seats for two nights must have been tough.

Lin Xia smiled at him, “It’s fine, Big Brother!

I’m still healthy!” She then asked, “You haven’t been mistreated at home, have you?”

“No, Xiaoxia!

You eat first.”

Lin Chun thought it was better to say whatever he wanted to discuss after his older sister had eaten.

Lin Xia compliantly sat down to eat.

After the meal, Xiaoqiu and Lin Dong together started clearing the table and washing the dishes.

Lin Chun, with a deep look in his eyes, asked Lin Xia, “Xiaoxia, when do you plan to go back to work?

You can’t always be on leave, can you?”

Lin Xia lowered her eyes, “I at least need to save enough money for our living expenses.

Otherwise, relying on that meager salary, who knows if we can even get it in hand?

What would we eat and drink then?”

“Ah, that’s also true,” Lin Chun understood that since they had rented a place, they needed money every day for basic needs.

He wasn’t capable, and it was all on his little sister to support and take care of Xiaoqiu and Lin Dong. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Lin Chun soon brought up the incident from the other day when Lin Xia had a confrontation with Lin Aiguo, earnestly advising her not to be so impulsive in the future, “…after all, you are a young woman.

If this gets out, it won’t be good for your reputation; how will you find a good marital home then?

What mother-in-law would want a daughter-in-law who doesn’t recognize her own kin?”

What worried him the most was how the incident with their father might affect her prospects of finding a partner.

Besides, he was also worried that her temper might lead to serious trouble if she were married and any conflicts arose.

Living together day by day, when isn’t there a time when words don’t slip?

In case of a conflict, with her fierce character, he feared it would end badly!

Lin Xia remained unconvinced, knowing she was severe by nature, but she didn’t want to change for the time being.

“What of it?

Even if I get married, am I sold to their family?

Why should I endure everything?

Just like our mother, always enduring—what did she get at the end?

Big Brother, I’m aware, don’t worry about me!”

Lin Xia scornfully thought to herself, what would finding a marital home change?

Could she just endure and concede?

Living for the second time, she had no interest in humbling herself.

Especially for a man with whom she had no blood relation, not to mention having to bear his children and take care of a whole family;

If he treated her well, it would be fine, but if he bullied her, she would have to endure endlessly, was she worthless?

After her rebirth, she had decided, she would live alone this lifetime, and once she had ensured her brother and sister were settled, with money and leisure, what couldn’t she do?
