Chapter 216: Chapter 203: There’s a Way When evening came, Madam Rong had specially prepared several extra dishes. This surely startled Qin Yu, who had just returned from school... What day was it today? It was even more lavish than the Lunar New Year. Of course, he would never voice that question. As someone who currently didn’t earn money yet spent it freely, he had no right to speak. However, his silence didn’t mean others kept quiet: “Mom, the dishes are quite abundant today! Are you in such a good mood?” Madam Rong glanced at her, “You have food and still can’t keep your mouth shut, hurry up and eat. Right, try this bun first, how does it taste?” Rong Yan found her mom’s expectant look a bit strange. “Mom, when did you become so unconfident? Your buns are obviously delicious, it’s not like we haven’t had them before.” At that moment, Qin Yu quickly nodded, “Auntie’s buns are the tastiest.” Qin Mei chimed in too, though her voice was somewhat softer, “Auntie’s buns are delicious, the dishes are delicious, the rice is also delicious.” Rong Wenming smiled warmly at this moment, “You see, I told you there would be no problem.” Hearing her father’s words, Rong Yan was even more puzzled, “Dad, what’s happening? It’s not like mom...” Her eyes rolled around her mother’s face. “Mom isn’t thinking about selling buns, is she?” As soon as these words came out, the three Qin siblings immediately looked towards Madam Rong. The expressions in Qin Mei and Qin Yu’s eyes were filled with some worry and... fear. Although they were young, they knew selling stuff wasn’t simple. That could get you in trouble. They didn’t want their kind aunt to be caught. “Just as I thought, my daughter’s clever, guessing right away, yes, your mom is thinking of making some buns to sell in town.” Rong Wenming saw everyone’s worried expressions and quickly added, “Don’t worry, doing small business is fine now, the policies have changed. They aren’t like before.” Rong Yan knew that before long, many people would pop up, engaging in small trades. Madam Rong glanced at them and spoke: “I chatted with the team leader’s wife this morning, and she let something slip... her brother from her maternal home has set up a small stall in town, and by standing out for two or three hours every morning and being careful, he doesn’t get caught.” “Anyway, it seems it’s not as strict as before... so, I was thinking, if small business can turn a blind eye, then I’ll sell buns.” If there was no income, she would feel so anxious! She wasn’t suited for farm work in the village now, so after thinking it over... Since a small stall was an option, she would sell food. After all, earning a little is still earning. Considering her son-in-law still owed a hefty debt for the house purchase and she only had one daughter, who would eventually live with them, she at least had to help. Qin Ye immediately said, “Mom, you don’t need to work so hard. Let me handle earning money...” Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Madam Rong. “This isn’t going to be much effort for me, and besides, if it really sells, I would be happy with the hard work.” There would be so many expenses in the future. Four kids needed to attend school, and her husband needed medicine every day. Which didn’t cost money? She was so worried she could barely sleep. Rong Yan felt her mother didn’t need to work so hard. “Mom, forget about it, not to mention waking up so early every day, making so many buns by yourself is both time-consuming and laborious, this is not doable. Also, even if you make the buns, you still have to take them to town every day to sell? That’s too tiring. We can’t do this. The road is too far, traveling back and forth, even if you don’t ride a bicycle and only use the ox cart, how much time will that waste?” “During this period, you should just focus on cooking at home! Weren’t you supposed to nourish us properly during our college entrance examination period? Don’t think about this anymore. Leave the money-earning to Qin Ye and your daughter... Qin Ye has a friend in town doing some stuff, he can spare half a day to work together.” Qin Ye:...? He wasn’t aware of this? Madam Rong immediately asked, “Qin, is what Yanyan saying true?” Upon hearing this question, Qin Ye of course regained his composure in an instant and quickly nodded, “Yes.” The corners of Rong Yan’s mouth slightly rose, “Mom, so you see, the cooking task is most important, leave the earning to us. As the saying goes, trees are dead, people are alive, as long as you have a working brain, you won’t be suffocated by a single urination. Just watch and see! We are all capable of earning big money, and we’ll let you live a worry-free life.” Madam Rong immediately shot a reproachful glance at her, “We’re still eating, forget the crap and pee talk... hurry up, eat first.” Rong Yan:... I’m even shocked myself, it seems the village life has had a deep impact on her, if this was before, she wouldn’t talk about such things. “Since you have a plan, OK, let’s do it this way, your mom won’t do the food selling anymore, let’s eat first.” Rong Wenming was also quite pleased. Actually, he didn’t want his wife to work so hard either. But his previous opposition was useless! The family began to eat a sumptuous dinner... After Qin Ye had finished his bath and returned, he then asked, “Wife, what you mentioned at the dinner table earlier...” “Isn’t Tie Zhu doing just that? We have goods, let him sell them. Right, rent a place in town, and I’ll unload the goods there later. That way, no one will be suspicious.” Rong Yan laid out her plan.
