The wicked female cannon fodder has arrived home

Chapter 161 Is it my brother-in-law who is not capable enough?

Li Qingai put down her chopsticks and gestured with her hands, almost dancing.

"What do you mean four or five cents? It's 100 cents per pound. If you calculate it, it should be at least ten cents per piece."

Fan Qiujuan widened her eyes and screamed in surprise.

"What? Ten cents each? Anyone wants it at such a high price?"

"That's right! Not only do they want it, they bought it all. Sister Tiantian has a big customer who bought all their goods and made a total of 8,650 taels of silver."

"Plop" the chopsticks in Li Xiangrong's hand fell on the table.

The whole family looked at each other in disbelief...

Fan Qiujuan took a breath of cold air.

"Oh my God! Don't talk nonsense, you silly girl. If it gets out, everyone will go to the sweet girl to rob her money."

"Mom, I'm not kidding. I really saw with my own eyes that Sister Tiantian and the others sold so much silver."

"I watched them count the money with my own eyes, how could it be fake?"

"I didn't know that the clothes sold by Tiantian and her friends are actually quite cheap in our county town."

"People at the border are selling at skyrocketing prices."

"The little money I earn in the county town is nothing. It can't even compare to the big money I earn at the border."

"No wonder people say that you can make money at the border crossing. It's true. The vendors are taking the goods and putting them into the sacks as if they are free! I want to make money there, but unfortunately I don't have any skills."

"But Sister Tiantian told me that she wanted to teach me how to make money."

"Let our family make a lot of money together."

"But on the way back, she always wanted to sleep and dozed off in the car. When she woke up, she always said that she dreamed of the mountain god talking to her and asking her to work."

"When we got to my house, he didn't even have time to get off the car to teach me. He just went back to sleep. He said he had to work with the mountain goddess in his dreams to open up the mountains."

"He said he would come and teach me after he finished the work another day."

Fan Qiujuan sighed.

"This child is just exhausted. She is busy in her dream. You, please stop urging her to look for Tian Yatou. Let her have a good rest. She is very busy and has to take care of you. How can she have so much time? She doesn't even have enough time to rest."

"However, you seem to be more energetic after this trip. Your face is full of flesh, and you don't look tired at all."

The more Fan Qiujuan looked at her daughter, the more she felt that her face had become rounder and redder. Her complexion looked rosy. She reached out and pinched it, and actually felt flesh coming out.

"Hey, you've gained weight."

Li Qingai pouted and slapped Fan Qiujuan's hand away.

"Of course. I've been eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks with Sister Tiantian and the others recently. I've been eating all the good food. How can I not get fat?"

"Sister Tiantian and the others are so nice to me. They give me all the delicious food."

"I wasted a lot of money from Sister Tiantian. To enter that market, each person had to pay a protection fee of one or two silver coins. Sister Tiantian paid it for me. I followed her in several times."

"Besides you and my parents, the people who are the best to me are Tiantian and her friends. They are even closer to me than my own sisters. I treat them as my own sisters and I will respect them from now on."

As soon as the elder sister was mentioned, the atmosphere at the dinner table changed slightly, and both Li Xiangrong and Fan Qiujuan looked a little unhappy.

Li Qingai looked at her mother's face, and her smile disappeared all of a sudden, with a hint of worry between her brows.

"Mom, what's wrong? Why did your expression change so suddenly while you were talking?"

Li Qingai suddenly realized something and opened her eyes wide.

"Yes...what happened to my sister?"

Fan Qiujuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"It's just the same old things in life, isn't it? It's happened more than once."

"Your sister has been married for seven years, and she's still not pregnant. How is she going to live without a child?"

"Your sister's mother-in-law is threatening to divorce her. If it weren't for the good relationship between your brother-in-law and your sister, and if your mother-in-law wasn't being pressured by your brother-in-law, and they haven't had a child for seven years, your sister would have been divorced long ago."

"I've taken the medicine and the doctor has checked it out. It's just your sister's stomach that's not doing well."

Li Qingai's face suddenly turned dark.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Why are you saying my sister's stomach is not working? Why are you blaming my sister? Is it my sister's fault that she can't have a baby?"

"Is it because my brother-in-law is not good enough?"

Li Xiangrong's face also darkened.

"What are you complaining about? Is your brother-in-law capable? Doesn't your sister know?"

"What are you doing meddling in this, kid? Eat quickly and go to bed early."

Li Xiangrong turned and said to Fan Qiujuan.

"Go and bring Qinglan back tomorrow morning. Even if my daughter can't give birth to a baby, we can't hinder the continuation of the Fang family's lineage, right?"

"It's just that it brings shame to the clan. I'm afraid it will implicate the girls in the clan and affect their future marriages, making them unable to get married."

Li Qingai opened her mouth. What was she implicated in? It wasn't like her sister had committed some serious crime that had angered the heavens and the people that had caused her to be divorced. It wasn't her sister's idea that she couldn't have a child.

It's not a knowing mistake.

Seeing her father's gloomy face, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and rolled her eyes silently.

Fan Qiujuan wiped her tears silently and nodded.

It’s just that her daughter has a hard life.

This matter cannot be blamed on her in-laws for scolding her daughter as a woman who cannot lay eggs.

The next day, Fan Qiujuan came to Fang's house to pick up her daughter. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a girl dressed up in fancy clothes, holding a handkerchief shyly, sitting in the main room with her head down. The matchmaker next to her was chatting with the old couple from the Fang family.

Fang Shu stood by with a stiff smile on his face.

There were also exquisite snacks on the table.

It was the egg moon cake and candied fruit that she couldn't bear to eat, so she brought for her eldest daughter.

Fang Liu took a piece of jujube flower cake and enthusiastically handed it to the shy girl.

"Miss Xiu'er, don't be shy. This jujube flower pastry is very expensive and delicious. It costs one tael of silver per bag. It's hard to buy in the county town now. You can't even buy the authentic flavor. Come and try it."

As soon as Fan Qiujuan entered the room, the warm atmosphere in the main room became stiff for a moment.

Looking at Fang Shu's mother-in-law who had come to visit, the matchmaker felt a little uneasy.

Fan Qiujuan was stunned. "My dear, this sister-in-law and the girl are——"

The father-in-law Fang Yulai's cloudy old eyes dodged and he coughed lightly. He didn't dare to look directly at Fan Qiujuan, so he sat upright with his hands in his pockets.

After all, his son and daughter-in-law were still together, but he brought the girl he had just seen into his home. This was not a fair thing to do, and he knew he was a little in the wrong.

The mother-in-law, Fang Liu, was just stunned for a moment, raised her chin, put on an old face and sneered as she pointed it out.

"This is the matchmaker from my mother's home, Liujia Village. The girl sitting here is Miss Xiu'er, the girl who came to my old Fang family to meet someone."
