Chapter 138 Want to Sell Popsicles
Song Yuling thought about it all night, and the next day she still withdrew the five hundred yuan that she had previously taken from Yao Guohua's savings account and deposited into her own savings account, and returned it to Yao Guohua.
She knew that she could only rely on Yao Guohua now.
"Guohua, I didn't think that much about it."
My initial thought was that since we're all family, it's better to keep our money together; that's what makes us feel like a family.
As for Xiaotao... he's still a child!
After Yao Guohua took the money and put it away, he looked at Song Yuling and asked, "Then why don't you deposit your money in my savings account?"
Song Yuling...
...
From that day on, Yao Guohua and Song Yuling seemed to begin to drift apart.
Song Yuling still wanted to coax Yao Guohua as before, but who knew that as soon as Yao Guohua saw Song Yuling, he would think of the time when she and her son ate ribs while he ate steamed buns and pickled vegetables.
As time went on, the two started arguing more and more often.
Yao Shula often heard Sun's two sons, who came to play ball, talk about this.
In Yao Shula's view, wasn't this just a matter of time?
What did Song Yuling want from Yao Guohua? Wasn't it just that his salary was decent and he could help her raise her child?
Otherwise, why would Song Yuling, who is in her thirties, insist on dating Yao Guohua, who is in his forties?
Yao Guohua was just chasing novelty, wasn't he? Now that the bubble has burst, people don't really admire him; they just think he's a fool. Naturally, he'll hold onto his money tightly.
Haha, these two are going to have a lot to argue about from now on!
...
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and listening to the cicadas singing loudly in the paulownia trees outside, Yao Shula didn't want to move.
I made some noodles for lunch, rinsed them in cooled boiled water, and stir-fried some eggs and tomatoes with a sauce. It was a simple meal to make do!
Yao Shuli pulled a watermelon out from under the bed and put it into the bucket of well water that had just been pumped out.
"Big sister, let it cool in the well water for a bit, then I'll pump some out when the water isn't so cold anymore."
Yao Shula lay on a recliner in the aisle, so that she could look at the pool table outside the yard on one side and at her home on the other.
She was still fanning herself with last year's banana leaf fan.
"Yes, we'll cut the melon and eat it in the evening."
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian chuckled, then turned and ran outside.
"Where are you two going with the sun so bright?" Yao Shula quickly sat up and asked.
"Big sister, we've got some things to do, we'll be right back!" the two said as they ran outside.
Yao Shula was a little confused. What were these two up to?
Yao Shuxin happened to come out to get some water and saw Yao Shula staring at the gate, so she immediately smiled.
"Sister, ignore them. They've been whispering to each other for the past two days."
I don't know what they're thinking!
It's definitely all stuff between boys.
Yao Shula nodded, it seemed to make sense.
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian were at the age where they loved to play. They would play games like slingshots, card games, and cockfighting with other children.
It's about changing clothes after having a blast outside...
Yao Shula didn't care about all that. If she were a boy, she'd probably be even more mischievous than these two kids!
Yao Shuxin was reading a book in the room, while Yao Shula was lying on a recliner, comfortably fanning herself with a banana leaf fan.
Gradually, it didn't seem so hot anymore.
As Yao Shula pondered what to cook for dinner, she watched the people outside playing recreational ball.
It's been several months, but people still love coming here to play.
Some people even came specifically to see how the pool tables were set up, and planned to set up a similar stall elsewhere.
It's a pity that what they made was neither fish nor fowl; anyone who tried it would know it was inferior to Yao Shula's stall.
Yao Shula's business has always been good.
My income has been no less than sixty yuan in the past few months.
Now that it's getting hot, Uncle Shu even had three large umbrellas made and delivered over.
People playing ball under the umbrellas are having a great time.
Yao Shula fanned herself with a banana leaf fan, occasionally using it to swat away flies that seemed to fly in from nowhere.
Yao Shula frowned as she looked at the banana leaf fan in her hand.
It's a bit old. I'll go to the back of the supply and marketing cooperative early in the next couple of days to take a look. At this time of year, there are always rural people selling things like banana leaf fans, brooms, and other similar items.
I'll buy two more this time, one for each room, so that I don't have to use one fan for several rooms when putting up mosquito nets for the kids at night.
I bought a new banana leaf fan, so I'll find some strips of cloth to sew along the edges. That way, the fan will last longer...
Yao Shula was just thinking about whether to grit her teeth and buy another electric fan for the house when she heard some noise outside the yard.
My older cousin, Shu Mingshan, came over on his tricycle.
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian were sitting in the back of the tricycle.
The two sat on either side of the tricycle, with a wooden box placed between them.
Yao Shula quickly stood up and went out to greet her.
"Big brother, what brings you here? Why are you with Shuli every day?" Yao Shula asked, a little puzzled.
Shu Mingshan chuckled and pulled the handbrake of the tricycle, then watched as Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian jumped off from the back.
Then they took the wooden box off the tricycle.
"My dad asked me to bring these two little guys back."
It's so hot outside, I'm worried the two little ones will get sunburned!
Yao Shula...
He looked at the box, then at Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian.
Why would they send a box over for no reason? They don't need any boxes!
Thanks to Uncle Shu's excellent carpentry skills, Yao Shuli's family never lacked chests and cabinets.
There are also plenty of tables, chairs, and benches.
Uncle Shu would come over every ten days or so to check if their furniture needed any repairs.
The small box now placed in front of you...
Yao Shula looked at Shu Mingshan with a puzzled expression.
Shu Mingshan just chuckled, then waved to Yao Shula, turned around, and pedaled his tricycle back home.
"This box..."
The more I look at it, the more it resembles the boxes of those street vendors selling popsicles! Yao Shula frowned.
"Big sister is so smart!" Little Tiantian immediately came over.
Yao Shuli chuckled and scratched his head.
Yao Shula...
"Are you two planning to sell popsicles?" Yao Shula asked in surprise.
Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shuli both nodded immediately.
"Yes, let's sell popsicles! It's getting hot now, and there are a lot of people playing ball around here. Selling popsicles will definitely make money."
"I'll use the money I earn to buy scarves for my eldest and second eldest sisters," Xiao Tiantian said hurriedly.
"Big sister, you'll definitely make money!"
"I've calculated it, it's almost zero cost!" Yao Shuli quickly added.
“Zero cost? You’re telling me this is zero cost?” Yao Shula immediately pointed to the wooden box.
