101 Have You Thought of Starting a Business?

“When I sold the ginseng, the merchant I met gave me the chilis. He said it was produced overseas.”

Seeing the shocked faces of Aunt w.a.n.g and w.a.n.g Erya, Lin Xiaoyue continued, “he said that the locals in his country use chilies to cook, so I took the opportunity to try it out. I didn’t expect it to taste so good.”

“I see…” Aunt w.a.n.g said.

Knowing that it was a foreign ingredient and that Lin Xiaoyue probably didn’t have much, Aunt w.a.n.g did not ask Lin Xiaoyue for more chili.

Lin Xiaoyue wasn’t in the mood to talk too much about chili with her. She quickly changed the topic to building the house.

Aunt w.a.n.g and w.a.n.g Erya had already agreed to come to the Liu family to help with cooking. They were very grateful to Liu s.h.i.+ and Lin Xiaoyue for taking care of the w.a.n.g family and giving them a job.

After listening to the two of them, Lin Xiaoyue once again realized how difficult it was for rural women to earn money in ancient times.

It was common for the men in the family to go to town to work, but it was difficult for the women to find work. And even if they could find work, they couldn’t leave because they had to take care of the family.

“Have you thought about starting a small business in town?” Lin Xiaoyue asked.

After all, Dais.h.i.+ Village wasn’t too far away from the town. There were families in the village who had businesses in town. There were usually street vendors.

“We need capital to do business and I’m worried that we might lose money. It’s better to work at the dock. One can earn more than 100 wen a day, which is a net profit.” Aunt w.a.n.g said.

As she spoke, she looked at Liu s.h.i.+ with envy.

“I don’t have your mother’s skills. Otherwise, I could work at home to make up for the family expenses.”

After trying a few times, she had given up. The embroidery workshop’s requirements were too high, and it was really difficult for her to meet them.

She didn’t want to earn money by doing embroidery anymore. Now, she came to Liu s.h.i.+ every day just to see if her daughter had the talent.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at her mother.

Her mother immediately looked at her with a smug expression.

Lin Xiaoyue quickly shook her head and avoided her mother’s gaze.

Then, she saw w.a.n.g Erya also look at her mother with envy.

Seeing that her mother was looking at her, as if she was going to persuade her to learn embroidery again, Lin Xiaoyue quickly got up from the stool.

“Uh, Li Xiao seems to be coming. I’ll go ask him if he wants to go hunting with me.”

Then, before Liu s.h.i.+ could say anything, she ran away.

Liu s.h.i.+ raised her hand and wanted to stop her daughter, but she sighed and helplessly let her go.

Aunt w.a.n.g was amused by Lin Xiaoyue. “Your daughter is different from us. She is as good as a man! You don’t have to worry about her.”

Liu s.h.i.+ looked at her daughter again. “I wonder who she took after?”

That made Aunt w.a.n.g laugh.

Lin Xiaoyue didn’t hear her mother calling her, and she was relieved.

She quickly walked towards Li Xiao.

“I’m going into the mountains to hunt, do you want to come with me?” She asked Li Xiao with a smile.

Li Xiao paused

He recalled the two bows and some knives he saw when he was moving the things from the house to the shed.

“Yes.”

After coming to the Liu family, he and Qing’er had spent a lot of the Liu family’s money. It would be good to go to the mountains to hunt some prey and exchange them for some money

Thus, the two of them went to the shed to get their bows and arrows and went out.

Liu s.h.i.+ looked at the back of the two people leaving and sighed in her heart.
