The three girls lowered their heads in embarrassment, their faces flushed.
"Come in, what are you all standing here for? The food will be delivered soon. Clean up the room and have dinner."
After saying that, Jia Youcai looked up and found that Qin Huairu had not left yet. She was taking her two younger brothers to clean up the dead chicken in the yard.
Jia Youcai walked over and spoke to the three people squatting on the ground.
"Why haven't you gone home yet? Hurry back and cook dinner. I just heard your stomachs growling.
Don’t bother cleaning up the chicken. Take it home and stew it for yourself. I don’t need it.
You look so skinny, your face is pale and you don’t even have two pounds of flesh on it.”
Qin Huairu raised her head, stood up a little embarrassedly, wiped her hands behind her back, and pinched the corner of her clothes.
After a long pause, he managed to utter, "Hey, Brother Jia Liu, I don't have the money to collect eggs. Can you lend me some money first?
I'll bring the things over later so we can settle the bill together, is that okay with you?"
Jia Youcai thought to himself, I'm waiting here, why don't you go back.
Jia Youcai put his hand into his pocket and took out a handful of money, estimated to be several thousand yuan, which left Qin Huairu and the other two stunned.
I have never seen so much money in my life. Jia Liu really married a rich wife.
I heard before that if a family is poor, even mice won’t visit.
Jia Youcai took out fifty yuan and handed it to Qin Huairu.
"Take it, try it out first, keep a record of it, and we'll settle it together later.
By the way, have you ever been to school? Do you know how to read and write? Can you do math and keep accounts?
Qin Huairu blushed, feeling a little embarrassed. She said uncertainly, "I've been there for a few years, so I don't know many people. It shouldn't be difficult to remember the account."
Jia Youcai was speechless. What's the right or wrong in keeping accounts? You can't even count well, let alone reselling.
The two guys next to him finally spoke at this time.
"I can count and know more words than my sister. I help my sister keep accounts and do the math to make sure she doesn't make any mistakes."
Jia Youcai nodded and asked, "Okay, then you two follow your sister. Don't make a mistake in your calculations. If you get cheated, you won't make any money and even lose money. Isn't that a joke?"
This girl should also learn a few more words and acquire some knowledge, at least be able to read newspapers, do accounting and calculations, so that she can find a good husband in the future.
If you can't read or write, you can only marry into the countryside and work like a slave.
Only by learning culture, increasing knowledge and broadening horizons can you find a good family in the city and not be looked down upon.
It’s okay in the future, Qin Huairu, you can come and learn from my wife, learn more words, and acquire some knowledge. I will ask her to teach you.
Also, her family owns a silk shop. If you want to learn a skill and find a job in the city, you can also build a good relationship with her.
When we return to the city, I can take you to her silk shop to be an apprentice first.
If you learn this skill well, the work is not bad, it is clean and decent, and it protects you from the cold and the heat. It is a job done by women, so I think it is quite suitable."
Qin Huairu was dizzy and walked home absentmindedly with the chicken and some food that Jia Liu had packed for her.
Jia Liu said too much, and for a moment Qin Huairu didn't know what to do.
Just the thought of being able to go to the city and be an apprentice in a silk shop made me excited.
The somewhat proud Qin Huairu felt a little uncomfortable just thinking about having to learn cultural knowledge from Jia Liu's wife.
She would unconsciously feel a little inferior in front of Jia Liu's wife. She was not used to this feeling and even hated it.
Just to enter the city, Qin Huairu decided to endure it no matter what. There was only one chance, and Jia Liu was right.
Only by learning culture and knowledge and having money can you avoid being looked down upon.
It’s better to make some money first and then talk about other things.
Qin Huairu, who had made up her mind and resolve to change herself, held her head high, straightened her chest, and walked towards home in big strides, facing the warm winter sun.
Looking at Qin Huairu walking away with her head held high, Jia Youcai thought to himself.
Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu, there are many tricks in the city, and there is always one that suits you. I, Jia Youcai, will definitely arrange it clearly for you.
Don't go out and cause trouble to others. If there is any crime, let Sixth Master bear it alone.
Sixth Master is in good health, tough and can withstand any hardship.
