"Sister-in-law, although I'm no longer related to my parents, in the eyes of outsiders, I'm still a daughter of the Shen family. So what if I open a shop? Let them say whatever they want. Our family has been through so much, and we've been subjected to so many unpleasant words along the way. Why would you be afraid of this?"
Thinking of the experiences of these people and her son's suffering, Xia nodded. "Yes, what else do we have to fear? Okay, I'll listen to you. So what business are you planning to start?"
"Selling some sundries, sister-in-law, what do you think?" Although Chen Heng understood a little, she was actually not very sure in her heart. Just like the generation gap between young people and old people, she was worried that her modern concepts would become an obstacle to buying and selling in ancient times, which would be troublesome.
"This is good, every household needs it." Xia nodded and sold whatever everyone needed.
"I just asked the doctor, and he said that in three days, Min'er can come home to recuperate. Sister-in-law, we can discuss it in detail then." In the past few days, Chen Heng planned to go around and figure out all the procedures for opening a shop and the supply channels. It was a big deal.
Xia thought for a moment and said, "Aheng, why don't you discuss this with Ajian first?"
"Okay." This matter must be discussed with Xie Jian. Even though the eldest sister-in-law is the one in charge of everything at home, Xie Jian is still the one who makes the real decision.
As the two were chatting, a long voice rang out: "Xie Min Niang, Xie Min Auntie."
An old man stood in front of them with a basket of eggs and a smile on his face. It was Min'er's enlightenment teacher, Master Qi.
"Master Qi?" Xia stepped forward and called out respectfully, "Why are you here?"
Chen Heng had a cold expression. In modern times, if a five-year-old child was left alone at home without the adults, the teacher would probably lose his job.
But in the original owner's memory, as long as the family had a little wealth, they would have servants and maids to pick up and drop off their children. Only the poor and ordinary people who were busy making a living let their children go to school alone.
Those whose parents have tens of millions of assets all have drivers to pick them up and nannies to take care of them.
She has to make money.
"Min'er's mother, I came specially to see Min'er." After hearing about Xie Min's story, Master Qi was unable to sleep or eat. He was heartbroken that such a good child had suffered such a thing. "Please accept this basket of eggs."
"No need, Master Qi, you are too polite."
"Take it." Master Qi put down the basket and took out one or two taels of silver from his arms: "This is Xie Min's tuition fee, and the rest is a little gift from me." He was unlucky. Such a thing happened after only a few days of study. Several students stopped coming to study. Although the children's parents didn't say anything, they must have no longer trusted him in their hearts.
How could Xia accept it? "Master Qi, there's really no need. You also..."
"Keep it. I won't go in to see the child. Let him have a good rest. I'll leave first." After saying that, Master Qi turned and left.
"Master Qi." Xia bent down, picked up the basket of eggs, and was about to chase after him. "How can this be? Min'er will need his guidance in the future."
"Sister-in-law, stop chasing her," Chen Heng stopped her, "It's obvious that Master Qi will no longer accept Min'er as his student." He even refunded the tuition.
"When Min'er got into trouble, we didn't blame Master Qi. On the contrary, we were so grateful that he accepted Min'er as his student under such circumstances." Xia sighed.
"Sister-in-law, let's wait until Min'er recovers before we discuss these matters. Who knows, there might be a better teacher to teach her in the future," Chen Heng said. The fact that Master Qi took Min'er in showed he had good character. As a teacher, she should have seen that it was a serious offense for her to pick Min'er up every day. Leaving a five-year-old home alone, with a long road ahead of her, was a serious offense.
When I have enough money in the future, I will hire a servant to pick me up and drop me off, just like the rich families do.
