Upon hearing Qian Sheng's words, Jin Jinxiu looked up and glared at him, then stood up, straightened her clothes, and said, "Let's go back to the main house. I have something to discuss with you."
Qian Sheng obediently followed behind. He saw Jin Jinxiu close the door as soon as he entered. He walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), sat down, and took a sip of water from his cup: "What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious? Did you find some money?"
Jin Jinxiu said, "Today, my eldest brother's two brothers, Qian Xiang and Qian Gui, picked wild crabapples and red berries for Duo Duo."
Qian Sheng nodded: "I know, it's still sitting on the floor outside. What's wrong? Doesn't Duoduo like it?"
Jin Jinxiu shook her head and said, "Today, Duoduo told me that she wants me to take the red berries to the black market and sell them for some money."
Qian Sheng was startled: "Where did she hear about the black market?"
Jin Jinxiu said, "She said she was a teacher at the school, and I think it's true. Duoduo has been in the village for so long, and she's still young. If she hadn't heard about it, who would have told her about the black market?"
Qian Sheng nodded, lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "It's not that it's impossible, but I'm the captain, isn't that a bit... inappropriate?"
Jin Jinxiu said, "Duoduo said to sell the red berries and buy grain."
Qian Sheng rubbed his index finger on the rim of the cup, and finally sighed and said, "Alright, let's sell it then. But after buying this grain, give some to my elder brother as well, since it was harvested by Qian Xiang and the others."
Jin Jinxiu nodded and said, "I understand. I need to discuss this with my sister-in-law first. She is literate and thinks things through more deeply than I do."
Qian Sheng nodded.
This is also why the two brothers' families have always had a good relationship. The two sisters-in-law discuss things together, so there are no conflicts. Besides, his wife is clever, but after all, she is a rural woman and illiterate, so he trusts his sister-in-law more. His sister-in-law is also very shrewd and has never made a mistake on important matters.
