The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug Chapter 211 Giving Silver Lockets

Chapter 211 Giving Silver Lockets

211 Giving Silver Lockets
Wang Xiaomei held a different view from Madam Liu. She felt that the price of food would probably rise further.
It was also for this reason that after she made money from selling goods and weaving straw sandals, she spent most of her money on food, just like Qin Xiaoyao.
Even now, when the price of grain had reached 10 copper coins, Wang Xiaomei had not stopped stocking up.
Even though she was buying less and less now, she still persevered.
!!
This was because she had to think of her big brother and father.
If a famine really broke out, Wang Xiaomei could still live a good life with the Song family. However, her big brother and father would probably have a hard time.
Yet now, Mrs. Song said she wanted to sell her grain.
Was Mrs. Song not optimistic that the grain price would rise? Wang Xiaomei did not quite believe it.
At the same time, she was a little scared.
After all, the cost of the grain she bought was much higher than what Mrs. Song had paid for hers.
If the grain price really rose to a high point, it would fall soon. Wang Xiaomei would lose money on her purchase then.
Qin Xiaoyao saw Wang Xiaomei’s expression but she didn’t elaborate further.
Instead, she looked at her mother-in-law.
“There’s no rush. We’ll wait a few more days before selling. We’ll just get rid of some, and the rest will be enough for us to eat for half a year,” she said.
In fact, there was no need to keep enough stock for more than half a year. Four to five hundred catties would be enough.
If the quantity was less, it would be easier to hide them when the need arose.
Of course, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t need to tell her mother-in-law about this.
Otherwise, she would be worried again.
“That’s what I thought too.” Madam Liu did not think too much and replied with a smile.
After the meal, Madam Liu and Song Yun went to wash the dishes, and Wang Xiaomei finally approached Qin Xiaoyao.
“Mrs. Song…”
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Wang Xiaomei and asked with a smile, “What’s the matter?”
“The grain… are you really going to sell them?” Wang Xiaomei asked nervously.
Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
“Mm-hmm,” she responded.
Wang Xiaomei’s expression changed.
“Is the grain price going to drop?” she asked urgently.
Qin Xiaoyao was taken aback.
“No, it’s not.”
“It probably won’t fall, and the probability is high that it will still rise,” she said after some thought.
Wang Xiaomei felt more at ease, but nonetheless, she still asked, “Then why…”
Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.
“It’s because I’ve stocked up too much food. Since the price has already risen and reached my ideal price, I feel that I can release them for sale.”
Qin Xiaoyao looked at the puzzled Wang Xiaomei and continued, “If I only make my move when the price reaches the highest point, I will naturally earn the most. But who knows where the highest point is?”
“It’s enough as long as I make sure that I can make money. If I can earn the amount I anticipated in the beginning, it’s good enough.”
After saying that, Qin Xiaoyao reached out and patted Wang Xiaomei’s shoulder.
“I think I know what you’re worried about.”
“Since you’re not buying grain to make money, there’s nothing to worry. If you need to continue to stock up on grain, then continue to stock up.”
“After all, if the famine really breaks out, money may not be able to get you any food.”
Wang Xiaomei’s heart shuddered.
She seemed to experience a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
“Mm-hmm!” She quickly nodded at Qin Xiaoyao, no longer hesitant in her heart.
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes were filled with admiration as Wang Xiaomei left.
After she returned to her room, she told Song Que about this.
“I’m quite impressed with this girl Xiaomei. If she is nurtured well, she will be capable of great things in the future.”
Just the fact that Xiaomei could spend so much money to follow in Qin Xiaoyao’s footsteps to stock up on grain was enough to show that girl’s intelligence.
Qin Xiaoyao had heard a story before the apocalypse.
It was said that when the driver of a certain big shot retired, the big shot wanted to reward him with two million dollars, but the driver turned down his offer.
The reason was that the driver had been driving for the big shot for 30 years. In the car, he had heard the big shot discussing a lot of business matters with other people on the phone.
He knew which real estate, which plots of land, and which stocks the big shot was paying attention to.
After that, the driver simply followed in the big shot’s footsteps and invested in the same areas.
Just like that, the driver obtained a large amount of investment returns just by following the big shot’s judgment.
And these profits had already exceeded 10 million over the course of 30 years. It was enough for the driver to spend his old age in comfort.
Even though Qin Xiaoyao wasn’t a big shot, she was analogous to the big shot while Wang Xiaomei was the driver, at least in Wang Xiaomei’s eyes.
...
After all, Qin Xiaoyao’s information came from her husband, a prophet who could predict the future.
If Wang Xiaomei followed in Qin Xiaoyao’s footsteps, not only would the girl save money, but she could also save her life.
Song Que nodded in agreement.
Then, he asked Qin Xiaoyao, “Will you really let her go after five years?”
Qin Xiaoyao was taken aback.
After thinking for a while, she shook her head.
“I don’t know. We’ll see how our family’s situation is when the time comes.”
Five years was still a long time.
Song Que could not resist laughing softly.
Sure enough, it was just as he had thought.
His wife was not as kind as she appeared to be.
...
However, he liked it.
The next day, after Qin Xiaoyao delivered the goods to Fortune Mansion and Fortune Restaurant, she went to the textile shop.
After getting four rolls of fine cloth, she bought quite a lot of coarse cloth.
Then, on the way to the Qin family, she passed by a silver shop.
On the spur of the moment, Qin Xiaoyao entered the silver shop and chose two small silver lockets.
Thereafter, she proceeded to the Qin family.
Both Eldest Sister-in-law Qin and Second Sister-in-law Qin were at home.
Seeing that their young sister-in-law had arrived, they quickly welcomed her warmly.
When they saw that their young sister-in-law had sent so many pieces of cloth, the two of them were extremely grateful.
“I was just thinking of buying some more materials to make clothes for Xiaohu. This is great. I can save money again.” Eldest Sister-in-law Qin said to Qin Xiaoyao with a smile.
Second Sister-in-law Qin looked at her tummy and added, “That’s right. I have to start preparing too. I don’t even need to go to the textile shop now.”
“Ahem. I happened to pass by, so I bought them.” Qin Xiaoyao smiled as she picked up the cloth from the handcart.
“Each of you will get half. Tell me where to put it so I can move them for you,” Qin Xiaoyao said in a forthright manner.
Eldest Sister-in-law Qin hurried forward to help.
“You can help Second Sister-in-law move her share. I’ll move mine myself!”
Thus, the three women quickly got to work.
After dividing the fabric, Qin Xiaoyao looked at her eldest sister-in-law.
“Where’s Xiaohu? Is he at home?” she asked curiously.
“Hehe! He’s here. But he’s already asleep.”
“I’ll bring you to take a look at him?” Eldest Sister-in-law Qin said with a laugh.
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered.
“Alright!” she immediately answered.
Yesterday, she did not get to take a good look at the little child. She must not miss the chance today.
“Come with me,” Eldest Sister-in-law Qin said immediately.
Then, she led Qin Xiaoyao into the house.
Qin Xiaoyao entered the slightly dark room and saw the little baby sleeping on the bed.
At this moment, the baby was sleeping soundly. He was so small, like a wrapped up silkworm baby.
Qin Xiaoyao’s hands itched to touch the child’s tiny tender face.
However, she restrained herself eventually and didn’t reach out.
A baby at the suckling stage was hard to cajole. If Qin Xiaoyao really woke him up, he would keep her sister-in-law very busy for a good while.
A look of hesitation flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s face. In the end, she didn’t take out the silver locket.
Instead, she stood up, tugged at Eldest Sister-in-law Qin’s arm, and quietly followed her out of the house.
She only took out the small silver locket when she was outside.
She gave one of them to Eldest Sister-in-law Qin.
“This is for Xiaohu. When he wakes up, you can put it on for him, Eldest Sister-in-law!”
Eldest Sister-in-law Qin quickly refused her gift.
“How can I accept this? It’s too valuable!”
The silver locket might appear small, but it probably weighed around one tael.
Two lockets would weigh two taels.
