Chapter 050 Still need some ambition
Hearing this, Chen Heng felt uncomfortable. These were not things a 10-year-old child should think about. It was obvious that Min'er was deeply hurt, otherwise she would not say such words.
That's right. Last time he was pushed into the pond and almost lost his life. This time his life was threatened again. No matter how small the situation was, he would find a strong person to rely on as soon as possible.
Seeing that her sister-in-law's eyes were red, Chen Heng pulled her out and changed the subject: "Sister-in-law, I have something to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
"I want to rent a shop and do some small business."
Xia was stunned for a moment: "Rent a shop to do business?"
Shen Heng nodded.
"What kind of woman would you open a shop like this? If someone sees you, I don't know what they'll do to you."
"I know, sister-in-law." Although the Great Cong Dynasty was agricultural, it did not suppress merchants like previous dynasties. The status of merchants was not as low as before. Merchants and their children could go to school and take the imperial examinations.
The concepts of the old and old surnames are still relatively conservative. Chen Heng will not fight against these concepts. When most people think this way, even if changes are to be made, methods must be used.
"Aheng, I know Min'er has been spending a lot of money recently, I..."
"Sister-in-law, I'm Min'er's aunt. I'm willing to spend all my money on Min'er. We're a family. But you know, we can't just sit there and do nothing. Not only does Min'er need medical treatment, but Ajian's path to the imperial examination also requires a lot of money. How can we just rely on Ajian's earnings from copying books to cover it all?"
"I know." The Xia family had so much to do, so how could they not have thought about making a living? Furthermore, since they had even given Min'er her sister-in-law's dowry, she was more anxious than anyone else. "I've thought about this a long time ago. We sisters-in-law can go to the roadside and sell dried vegetable cakes and spring rolls. All we need is a wheelbarrow and a stove. My eldest sister-in-law has inquired about it, and she says we can earn 70 or 80 taels a day, but it's a bit hard work."
Chen Heng: "..." If she sold dried vegetable cakes and spring rolls, she would be the lowest, most hopeless, and most despised time-traveling woman in history, right?
Wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing?
But the dried vegetable spring rolls are quite delicious. No, no, no, I was thinking about it.
To be a time-traveling woman, you still need to have some ambition. Finding a shop and doing some small business is the minimum standard.
If you try your best and still can't make it, then you have no choice but to admit that you are ordinary. What else can you do? Life must go on.
"How is it?" Xia asked expectantly.
"It's a good idea, sister-in-law. But, sister-in-law, Ajian is a scholar after all. If his family does this, will they be looked down upon in the academy? Many of the students there are either rich or noble. And Wang Nei Shi, he has adopted Min'er as his adopted grandson. With his status, he would definitely not be happy with Min'er's mother and aunt selling dried vegetable cakes and spring rolls on the roadside, right?"
People's thoughts are really strange. If you open a shop, you will be criticized, but if you do this kind of hard business on the roadside, no one will say anything.
Is it because the former thinks that the other person is rich and is a bit jealous? Is it because the latter looks very hard-working, leaving home early and returning late every day, that he is just unhappy?
"That's true."
