Qiao Xiaoni: "I'm relieved to hear you say that. To be honest, I'd like to start a business, but I don't have enough money. Now that I've bought fox pelts, my cash flow is even tighter."
I'd like to make a deal with you. You can take both the fox and rabbit pelts and just give me the difference in price. We're such good friends, I trust you won't lie to me.
This compliment was perfectly placed. Su Chenhao looked at Qiao Xiaoshan standing to the side and said, "Your girl is quite something! Her negotiating tone is just as good as mine."
Qiao Xiaoshan chuckled twice and then said, "Of course, she's my sister. Besides, she's studied all these years, do you think she did it for nothing? She's the smartest person in our family."
He used to find his little sister's constant crying annoying, and he would avoid her if possible. Now it's different. His little sister is incredibly smart, better than any girl in the surrounding villages.
Su Chenhao found the brother and sister interesting and thought for a moment before saying, "If we take this fox pelt to a more distant place to sell, we can get almost twice the price. But you have to understand, the market changes quickly, and I can't be sure. So, I'll give you six yuan, and neither of us will lose money."
Qiao Xiaoni was very satisfied with the price. If she had bought the fox pelt herself, she would have had to go to a much more distant town to sell it. Leaving aside the travel expenses, her family alone wouldn't have allowed her to go...
"make a deal."
Su Chenhao took the money out of his pocket, counted out six yuan, and said, "You're quick-witted. If you were a man, I would definitely take you out to make your way in the world."
"Why can't women go out and make their own way in the world?" Qiao Xiaoni stuffed the six yuan she had just received back into her purse. Adding the money from selling vegetable pancakes, she had earned over ten yuan in one go. Full of confidence, she planned to convince her family that evening.
Su Chenhao: "It's better for girls to stay at home. Earning money is a man's job."
Qiao Xiaoni snorted and said, "You look down on women from the bottom of your heart. There are many things we can do! There are many things that you men can't do, and that we women have to do."
This was the first time Su Chenhao had met such a talkative young girl: "Tell me what things we can't do with this."
Qiao Xiaoni pointed at a passing woman, holding a child in her arms: "Give birth, can you do that? Which child doesn't come out of a woman's belly after ten months of pregnancy?"
Qiao Xiaoshan: ...
Su Chenhao: ...
Speechless. Men cannot have children; that is an undeniable fact.
After regaining his senses, Qiao Xiaoshan burst into laughter: "Girl, you're so quick-witted, you even thought of that."
Su Chenhao coughed loudly: "It's getting late, shouldn't we go back?"
Qiao Xiaoni noticed a large bag on the back seat of Su Chenhao's car, which appeared to be filled with grain. She figured he'd come to town to buy grain, and associating with someone like that might be useful for his future endeavors.
"Brother Chenhao, come to my house for dinner sometime. I'll cook you two good dishes."
Su Chenhao nodded slightly: "Then I won't stand on ceremony. You must cook me two good dishes, otherwise it would be a disservice to that fox fur."
Qiao Xiaoshan leaned closer and asked, "Brother, are you leaving again this time? How is your brother's health? I haven't seen him for many days. Last time I saw him, his face was terribly thin. Is he not eating well?"
