The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug 61 Chapter Receiving Goods?

61 Chapter 61: Receiving Goods?
Qin Xiaoyao laughed and started discussing with Big Girl Li.
Then, she found a few children and told them she was accepting mushrooms.
After that, she followed Big Girl Li down the mountain.
They soon realized that the mountain paths were really difficult to walk on after the rain.
!!
Moreover, both of them were heavy. Their centers of gravity were unstable, so they could easily fall if they were not careful.
Qin Xiaoyao was slightly better off. With her strength-attribute special ability, she could always stabilize herself at the critical moment.
Big Girl Li was in a bad state. After entering the mountain, she had already fallen twice.
After returning to the village, Big Girl Li went straight home to change her clothes.
After tidying herself up and washing her clothes, she then rushed back to the Song family’s house.
By the time she arrived, there were already children running toward the Song family’s house.
As for her Sister Sanya, she was already weighing the mushrooms for the children and paying out money.
Big Girl Li was surprised to see a child take the money and walk out with a big smile.
The children in their village were more enthusiastic than she had thought.
“Sister Sanya!” She shouted into the courtyard and walked toward Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao saw Big Girl Li and quickly called her over.
Then, she explained the situation.
The children were indeed more enthusiastic than they thought. In fact, some adults even went into the mountains after hearing that the two of them were accepting mushrooms.
The reason was that those families had surplus labor. When they saw a rare opportunity to make money, they were tempted.
“I think that when we go to Fortune Mansion tomorrow, we can ask them about their purchase price of various mountain products and vegetables. Then, we’ll buy these goods at a lower price back home. We can make more money in this way,” Qin Xiaoyao said.
She would not have considered this before. After all, she was going to town alone, and the amount of things she could bring was limited.
However, she had already decided to purchase a handcart.
If she had a cart, she could load a lot more things on it.
The cart had two big wheels, so it took much less effort to push.
Even if the cart was loaded to the brim, she could still easily send the goods to town.
Big Girl Li thought about it, but she was a little hesitant.
“If you want to receive goods, you need to have someone at home to keep an eye for you. The two of us have to go into the mountains. We don’t have time.”
Qin Xiaoyao smiled. “I’m not worried about that. My mother and Yun’er can help!”
“When the time comes, we’ll just split some of the money with them.”
Big Girl Li looked at Madam Liu and Song Yun, who were still weaving straw sandals, and a hint of hesitation flashed across her eyes.
“Sister Sanya, you can consider this your own business. I won’t take any share from the money you earn from receiving goods.”
“Anyway, you’re the one who put in the most effort to deliver the goods to town, and you’re still the one who pays for the money to receive the goods upfront. I won’t take part in this undertaking.”
Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao was about to speak, Big Girl Li said again, “Madam Liu and Yun’er can also make money by weaving straw sandals now. If you let them help with receiving the goods, won’t you take up their time?”
“All of you contributed effort, but I alone didn’t contribute money or effort, so I’m too embarrassed to join in and take a share of the money.”
Qin Xiaoyao thought about it and agreed that she had a point.
Hence, she nodded.
She was feeling increasingly more satisfied with Big Girl Li.
That day, by evening, Qin Xiaoyao had collected more than 70 catties of mushrooms.
Even after dark, there were still people who sent a few catties over.
The enthusiasm of the villagers truly shocked Qin Xiaoyao.
However, Madam Liu did not find it strange. After hearing Qin Xiaoyao’s plan, she even advised her not to accept too many things at once.
“Although our Brook Falls Village isn’t far from the town, a trip to town will take up half a day, and you have to pay the entrance fee.”
“Some of these low-value vegetables and mountain products are not easy to sell in town. So if you buy them at a low price in the village, there will definitely be many people willing to sell it.”
“But there are only the two of you, you and Big Girl. Every time you enter the town, you have to bring 200 catties of Chinese yam. How many pairs of hands do you have?”
Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
Then, she smiled at Madam Liu.
“That’s why, when we go into town tomorrow, I’m going to buy a handcart.”
“With this handcart, it will be more convenient for us to deliver goods into the city. In addition, we can also carry more goods.”
Madam Liu was caught by surprise.
“Don’t worry, Mother. I will try it out slowly with the collection of the goods. I won’t collect too much in one shot.”
“After all, if we really collect too much and keep the goods in our hands, not only will we not make money, we might even lose money.”
Hearing that her daughter-in-law had taken heed of her words, Madam Liu felt more relieved.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she turned to Qin Xiaoyao and asked, “Is the handcart expensive?”
“It’s still okay.”
Qin Xiaoyao patted Madam Liu’s hand with a smile. “Don’t worry, Mother. I have enough money in my hands.”
...
The night was getting late.
Qin Xiaoyao returned to her room after taking a bath.
However, as soon as she entered the room, she saw Song Que on the bed looking at her.
A thought popped up in her mind.
“Hubby,” Qin Xiaoyao said.
“Hmm.” Song Que actually responded.
Then he added, “I’m waiting for you to continue your ‘Journey to the West’ tale.”
“Oh.” The excitement in Qin Xiaoyao’s heart cooled down a little.
Following that, she composed herself and walked to the bed.
Then, she blew out the light with practiced ease and went to bed.
After that, in the silence, she continued to tell Song Que the tale of ‘Journey to the West.’
...
Qin Xiaoyao told the rest of the story according to her memory, but the person behind her was very quiet.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t know how much time had passed, but when she didn’t hear any movement from Song Que, she thought that Song Que had already fallen asleep.
She then stopped talking.
Just as she was about to go to sleep, much to her surprise…
“No more?” Song Que suddenly said.
Qin Xiaoyao got a shock.
Then, she calmed down.
“Oh… it’s a little late. I still have to go to town tomorrow…”
Song Que was silent.
“Then go to sleep,” he continued.
The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up in a smile before she closed her eyes.
Her attractive husband was… feeling some tenderness for her…
After a while, Song Que heard the familiar snoring sound again.
No one saw that in the dark night, the corners of the man’s mouth curving up slightly before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
It was a new day.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t even have time for breakfast and went into the mountains with Big Girl Li.
They hurriedly picked the more sturdy newly sprouted Chinese Toon shoots and returned to the Song family’s house to pack their things. Then, they set off for town.
As they were thinking about buying a handcart, the two of them were a little excited.
They didn’t feel that tired on the way, and they arrived at Mountain Spring Town in no time.
After paying the entrance fee, the two of them went straight to Fortune Mansion.
This time, Uncle Zhao was not around.
However, the kitchen staff had already received Uncle Zhao’s instructions. When he saw the two of them delivering the goods, he weighed them and paid for them.
To Qin Xiaoyao’s surprise, Fortune Mansion had set the price of her mushrooms at three copper coins per catty.
In other words, she had actually earned more than 150 copper coins by collecting mushrooms yesterday.
Seeing this, Big Girl Li felt a little envious.
However, she also knew that the only reason these things could be sold for money was because of her Sister Sanya’s connections.
Their family was already taking advantage of Sister Sanya because she did not take a cut from them when they tagged along with her to sell their own produce.
Thinking of this, Big Girl Li’s heart felt more at ease again.
After they settled the accounts and got the money, Qin Xiaoyao then inquired about the prices of some common mountain products, meat, poultry, and vegetables from the kitchen staff.
To avoid forgetting the details, Qin Xiaoyao even brought out a piece of paper and a charcoal stick that she had prepared and made simple records.
Seeing this, Big Girl Li’s admiration for Qin Xiaoyao increased even more.
After they left Fortune Mansion, Qin Xiaoyao once again suggested that they split up.
