The Strong Wife From Peasant Family Chapter 39
Li Qingling followed Auntie Huang to her house and was surprised to see that Aunty Huang had collected two baskets full of eggs.Who would have thought that Auntie Huang really had the ability to receive so many eggs in one go.Auntie Huang looked at Li Qingling and rubbed her hands together, "Xiao Ling, you'll take everything, right?"If Li Qingling disliked her collecting too many eggs, and did not take all of them, she would lose money.Know what Auntie Huang was thinking? Li Qingling smiled and nodded, giving Auntie Huang a peace of mind.Seeing Li Qingling nod her head, Aunty Huang immediately heaved a sigh of relief."You … Do you want to go through it once, or do you want to just bring it to your house? "She had already checked when she was collecting eggs. Some eggs that were too small for her to accept, she only received some eggs that were about the same size.But Li Qingling was the one who made the decision, should she check it? It depends on her.Li Qingling laughed: "Auntie Huang, I trust your character, so there's no need to check." Since she chose to let Auntie Huang to collect the eggs, she should believe that Auntie Huang would not do something that would harm others but not herself. "How many eggs are in these two baskets?"She estimated that these two baskets had at least five to six hundred eggs. Although this number sounded a little scary, but according to her calculations of selling fifty egg cake a day, these two baskets of eggs should at most last for ten days.Auntie Huang swallowed her saliva, chuckled, and reached out a hand.She just let out the news that she wanted to collect eggs in the village. She didn't expect that the villagers, whose families had so many eggs saved up and sold them to her, would let her collect so many eggs in one go.Her guess was about right, Li Qingling nodded and immediately gave Auntie Huang five hundred gold.This was the first time Auntie Huang had received so much money. When she received it, her hands were trembling.Seeing that, Li Qingling pursed her lips and smiled, letting her count whether it was five hundred gold coins or not.Even Li Qingling trusted her so much that she didn't even order the eggs. She just gave her 500 coins, if she counted the money in front of Li Qingling, wouldn't that mean she didn't trust Li Qingling? Only a fool would do such a thing."There's no need to nod. Auntie believes in you too." Auntie Huang smiled brightly, "Wait a moment, auntie will bring the eggs to your house." Finished speaking, she quickly walked into her room and carefully hid the 500 dollars in her hand. She felt that she had hidden it properly, so she walked out with a sense of relief.Auntie Huang went to grab a carrying pole and tied the rope around the carrying pole. She crouched down and picked up the two baskets of eggs."Auntie, how about I carry her with you?" Li Qingling's heart skipped a beat, afraid that Auntie Huang would throw her two baskets of eggs if she couldn't walk steadily.If she lost these two baskets of eggs, what would she use to fry egg cake tomorrow?Auntie Huang looked up and down at Li Qingling, and when she saw her small body, she immediately shook her head and rejected her. "No need. The rope in this basket was even taller than her little body. How could she lift it?She was going to pick it out by herself, and it was all right …"Alright then, be careful!""Don't worry, auntie! I promise I'll bring the eggs to your house right away!" Auntie Huang grinned again. Luckily, when she laid the eggs, each layer was covered in hay. Otherwise, if she carried the eggs away like this, the eggs might have been broken. Li Qingling nodded and let Auntie Huang walk in front while she followed behind her.The matter of Auntie Huang collecting eggs in the village caused a sensation among the villagers.They were all discussing in private, what was Auntie Huang planning to do with so many eggs?Everyone wanted to see what she was up to.At this moment, she walked out of her house with a big basket of eggs. Li Qingling followed behind her and the villagers were even more curious."Sister Huang, where are you going with the eggs?" One of the women in the village could not help but ask after looking at Aunty Huang and Li Qingling.However, he was muttering in his heart, could it be that after receiving so many eggs, Sister-in-law Huang had changed hands and sold them to Li Qingling?Aunty Huang looked at Li Qingling. Without Li Qingling's consent, she did not dare speak out about this matter.Li Qingling knew that she could not hide this matter, so she nodded slightly towards Aunty Huang.She replied the woman with a smile, "Xiao Ling asked me to take this egg. I'll take care of this, I'll send it to her home." Her words were watertight.This made others think that Li Qingling had really asked her to take the egg, and not buy it from her.After she finished speaking, she was a little nervous in her heart. She looked at Li Qingling, afraid that she would reveal her secret.She was just a little bit worried that the villagers would blame her if they found out that she had earned their money.Actually, Auntie Huang was overthinking things. Since Li Qingling had chosen her and told her to collect the eggs and buy them from her hands, she wouldn't reveal her background. She would even help her cover up for a bit or two.Li Qingling smiled at Auntie Huang, and Auntie Huang's anxious heart immediately calmed down. If Li Qingling did not expose her background, then she could continue working here for a long time."Yo …" Is this what Xiao Ling told you to accept? " The lady was surprised, she looked at Li Qingling and asked, "Xiao Ling, why are you buying so many eggs? Is it to be eaten? " There were only a few children in her family. How many eggs could they eat?Besides, these eggs should at least cost a few hundred mosquitoes, right? It seemed that Li Qingling was really rich. If she was not, she would not be able to buy so many eggs.How could Li Qingling not feel the woman's obvious probing? She smiled at the woman and said, "It's not for you to eat, it's for others to eat." She was a little unclear, "Sister-in-law, my home is still waiting for me to go back, so I'll be leaving first!"Having said so, she shot a look at Aunty Huang and strode forward, ignoring the woman.Auntie Huang pursed her lips and smiled. She lowered her head and also quickly followed Li Qingling's footsteps, not giving those people a chance to ask any questions.This time, Li Qingling did not let Auntie Huang pick the eggs to bring back to her house, so she made her jump onto the Liu household. Aunt Huang slowly squatted down and carefully placed the basket on the ground.She took out her carrying pole and wiped off the sweat on her forehead, "Xiao Ling, leave this basket at your house for now, you can return it after you've used up all your eggs!" Pausing, she glanced at Li Qingling, "Xiao Ling, do I still need to collect eggs?" She made money by collecting eggs, tasted the sweetness, and said she didn't want the business to end.Li Qingling muttered to herself, "This egg will not last long, after I've used up most of it, I will go and tell you." The eggs hadn't been laid for long, and if they were h.o.a.rded too much, it would be a waste of money if they broke down. It wasn't easy to earn money in this world, so she didn't dare to act rashly.Hearing this, Auntie Huang felt a bit of pity in her heart, but she still smiled and nodded. She repeatedly told Li Qingling that she had to tell her after using up the eggs.Only when Li Qingling nodded in agreement to her request did she leave the Liu Family happily."So many Eggy …" Liu Zhirou ran in front of Li Qingling with her short legs, opened her eyes wide and looked at the two eggs in the basket, exclaiming in shock.Li Qingling bent over and hugged her, then kissed her cheeks and said, "Let's go, big sister will give you some steamed egg soup to eat." Now that there were conditions at home, she asked her child to drink a bowl of goat's milk every day and to eat an egg every day.When Nourishment caught up, the children were a bit taller and had some meat on their faces.This made her feel very accomplished.Liu Zhirou nodded her head. She loved her sister's chicken egg soup the most. It was delicious."Greedy Cat!" Li Qingling smiled and pointed to Liu Zhirou's nose, then carried her into the kitchen.She didn't know that the entire village already knew that she had asked Auntie Huang to help her collect the eggs.In the end, Yan Sanniang, the most unsightly person in the village, who would easily turn red with jealousy, picked vegetables and returned to see Madam Liu in the garden. She rolled her eyes and called out to Madam Liu."Spring Flower, have you heard? Those eggs that the Yellow Ribbon Imperial Concubine collected were from your granddaughter, Xiao Ling. There are hundreds of those eggs! " Yan Sanniang was carrying a basket of vegetables as she smiled, "Looks like your granddaughter really earned a lot of money from hunting. Otherwise, how could she afford to buy so many eggs? She is the granddaughter of your direct relative, didn't she bring you a little bit of filial piety? "Yan Sanniang's words made Madam Liu's face turn red and green. She did not expect that the eggs Huang Bian had collected were for Li Qingling, as she had also sold her family's fifty eggs.Seeing that Madam Liu did not make a sound, Yan Sanniang asked again, "Spring Flower, why did your granddaughter gather so many eggs? Your granddaughter said it was for someone else to eat, but she didn't have any relatives, so who would she give it to? Do you know? " The family that was once so poor that they almost starved to death was now the richest family in the village. "Aiya, speaking of Spring Flower, you've really suffered a loss. If we don't split up, those things will all be yours!"Madam Liu's eyes darkened. Her heart was a little confused by Yan Sanniang, but she did not want her to see him make a fool of herself. "Do I know what this has to do with you? No matter how rich she is, she is still my granddaughter. Saying so, she spat at Yan Sanniang and took her dishes home.Yan Sanniang also snorted coldly, her face full of ridicule as she spat in Madam Liu's direction and carried her vegetable basket back home.When Madam Liu returned home, the more she thought about it, the more she felt disgusted. That stinky brat Li Qingling, with so much money, why didn't she give him gifts?No, she had to ask. If she didn't, she wouldn't feel good.Madam Liu suddenly stood up, walked out of his house with large strides, and headed towards Li Qingling's house.
