37 Let's Do That

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Yu Xiaolian heard Yu Changhe's words, she felt that she had another way to earn money.

She could sell this fish stew to the restaurant. Not only did she have fish stew in her space, but she also had braised pork, crayfish, braised meat, hotpot, bean paste, and rice paste. She had everything. Most of the things in the supermarket were necessities for modern families. They were also consumables. The supermarket was also infinitely restocked.

Selling ginseng all the time was not a solution. People would suspect her.

Yu Xiaolian narrowed her eyes. She was ready to change her route.

Although there were a few hundred taels of silver in the interspace, who would complain about having too much money?

After all, she would have to go against Jun Mobai sooner or later. Jun Mobai was both powerful and influential. She was now a woman in ancient times, so it was impossible for her to make a comeback. However, she could use money to spend on poor students and nurture her own power.

Let's do that.

Yu Xiaolian told Madam Sun her thoughts, but she didn't expect Madam Sun to disagree. She thought that the silver and things in the space were enough for them to use for the rest of their lives. There was no need to mess around.

Yu Xiaolian had no choice but to tell Madam Sun. In her dream, she dreamed that something would happen to Yu Changhe, and her. Moreover, she had offended a powerful and influential figure. If she didn't accumulate strength, she would only be at the mercy of others.

After the incident in the space, Madam Sun naturally believed Yu Xiaolian's words. She nervously asked about the details, and Yu Xiaolian roughly told her.

When Madam Sun heard this, not only did she not stop her, she even took the initiative to take over this job. She even said that the people in the town's restaurants would not believe the words of a ten-year-old child, let alone discuss business with her.

Madam Sun recommended herself, so Yu Xiaolian was naturally overjoyed.

The two of them hit it off immediately and quietly discussed for a while before getting busy.

Madam Sun decided to finish the embroidery work at hand first before getting busy with other things. She could take out the food openly. Yu Xiaolian didn't have to dig up wild vegetables and pick herbs, but she still had to pick firewood.

There was no firewood or coal in her supermarket.

Madam Sun was doing embroidery, Yu Changhe was weaving baskets, and Yu Xiaolian was going up the mountain to pick firewood.

The collected branches were piled up and tied up with straw ropes made of water millet.

When Yu Xiaolian came out, Yu Changhe told her to tie it up and ask him to carry it when she came back. However, Yu Xiaolian considered that Yu Changhe's legs were inconvenient, so she decided not to use him.

Every time she carried a small bundle, she would carry it back and forth a few more times.

Just like that, Yu Xiaolian carried firewood for several days.

She stacked the firewood in the corner of the backyard and split it with Old Madam Yu and the others.

Yu Changhe saw that Yu Xiaolian was carrying a lot of firewood back and forth and asked her to rest for a while before doing it. Yu Xiaolian was also a little tired, so she simply sat down at a shaded area at the bottom of the wall.

As she helped Yu Changhe prepare the willow branches, she chatted with him.

Suddenly, she smelled the smell of incense. Yu Xiaolian twitched her nose as if it was coming from Old Madam Yu's room.

Seeing that Old Madam Yu's window was open, out of curiosity, Yu Xiaolian leaned against Old Madam Yu's window and craned her neck to look in.

What she saw almost made her burst out laughing.

At this moment, Old Madam Yu was kneeling on the ground piously. She held a thick incense in her hand and was kowtowing to the Earth Elder!

Of course, this Earth Elder was a sheep village chief that Yu Xiaolian had taken out from the supermarket for a prank.

At this moment, the village chief was being worshiped by Old Madam Yu on the offering table. There were also a few wild pears and five white steamed buns in front of him.

Old Madam Yu kowtowed a few times in a row and said eloquently, "I'm begging the Earth Elder for money. Can you return my money to me? My youngest son hasn't married yet. I'm also counting on this money to retire!"

Unfortunately, the village chief didn't care about this. She had begged the wrong person.

Yu Xiaolian covered her mouth and laughed until her stomach hurt.

Afraid that Old Madam Yu would find out, she was happy for a while before quickly slipping back.

She had never expected that Old Madam Yu would really believe what she had made up. Or perhaps Old Madam Yu was also thinking that there was nothing she could do.

It seemed that Old Madam Yu's loss of money was worse than death!

Ever since lunch, she had not seen Yu Changfu. She did not know if he had gone to the fields with Father Yu to pluck weeds, or if he had gone to Madam Cao's maiden home to pick Madam Cao up.

At night, Madam Sun cooked some porridge, but it was not as watery as usual. After the family ate some porridge, Madam Sun asked Yu Changhe to boil hot water in the kitchen and said that she wanted to take a shower.

After Yu Changhe boiled the hot water and moved the bathtub into the house for Madam Sun, everything was ready. After closing the door and going out, Yu Xiaolian brought Madam Sun into the toiletries area of the supermarket and asked her to choose her favorite shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, and so on.

Madam Sun was as excited as a child. Under Yu Xiaolian's guidance and introduction, Madam Sun finally chose a bottle of rose-flavored shower gel and a bottle of ginger shampoo. She also chose a soft toothbrush and white teeth toothpaste.

Yu Xiaolian pulled Madam Sun to the skincare area and introduced the toner and moisturizer to her. What Yu Xiaolian didn't expect was that in the end, Madam Sun didn't want those and chose the cheapest snow cream.

Madam Sun's reason was very simple. Snow cream smelt fragrant.

She liked this smell very much.

Truly good skincare products wouldn't add strong fragrance essences, but Madam Sun didn't understand these things, so she chose the most fragrant one. Yu Xiaolian didn't want to interfere too much. Everyone had the right to choose.

After choosing these, Yu Xiaolian asked Madam Sun to choose another towel before they left the supermarket.

The two of them happily took a shower. Madam Sun then beautifully applied snow cream in front of the bronze mirror.

How fragrant!

Madam Sun sniffed her hand and smiled.

At this moment, Yu Changhe's voice sounded from outside the door. "Why did you two take so long to shower? Are you done?"

Madam Sun panicked. "You can't let your father see these things. Put them away quickly. I'll get them from you when I use them."

Madam Sun took out the small empty box of rouge that she had used before and put some of the snowflake cream inside. She really liked this snowflake cream. She had to use it every day.

After Madam Sun finished applying the snow cream, Yu Xiaolian put everything away.

Madam Sun opened the door from the inside and asked Yu Changhe to pour the bathwater.

Yu Changhe's nose was quite sharp. He asked in surprise, "Why does this room smell so good?"

Madam Sun replied vaguely, "Madam Xu gave me a small box of cream. I used it just now."

It was not surprising that Madam Xu had cream. That person loved beauty the most. What puzzled Yu Changhe was, "Why would Madam Xu be willing to give you such an expensive thing?"

Madam Sun's back was facing Yu Changhe. "Perhaps she saw that I had returned a few taels of silver at once and thought that our family was rich, so she wanted to please me!"

In the past, when Yu Changhe was still a bailiff, Madam Xu's attitude towards her was still very affectionate and friendly. The change in attitude was only after Yu Changhe lost his job.

"It's because she saw that you're rich again. I wonder what she's up to. Don't take anything she gives you in the future. If you want to use it, go to town and buy it yourself."

Madam Sun agreed a few times. "I really have to go to town tomorrow. There's not enough colors for the embroidery thread. I'll buy some other things."

Yu Changhe frowned. "Mother and the others just searched our house and know that we don't have money. If you go back to buy things, what if Mother asks?"

According to Yu Changhe, now was not the time to buy things.

Madam Sun said, "Tomorrow, I'll bring you to weave those baskets and push the Jiang family's cart over. When your mother asks, just say that we only have money if you sell the baskets."

Yu Changhe nodded. That was good too. If he didn't sell these baskets, they would be stolen by Yu Ziyi. He didn't dare to tell Madam Sun about this, afraid that the two families would have trouble again.
