Chapter 35 Capital
"Doing business?"

"Correct."

Liu Xiaowan hesitated, she looked at Zhao Huniu cautiously,

"Sister Huniu, are you going to do business?"

"Yes."

Liu Xiaowan's expression became unnatural.

After all, her father was a scholar. Although Liu Sheng was not one of those old-fashioned people, he had heard it from a few words since he was a child.

Women should not be too public.

What's more, talkers are light,

Liu Sheng was famous, so he carelessly raised his eyes on the matter of doing business.
When Liu Xiaowan heard that Zhao Huniu had plans to open her own shop, she couldn't help feeling complicated.

"Then, sister Huniu, have you thought about doing business?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but," Zhao Huniu patted her waist, "as long as there are goods here, there is nothing to worry about.

How about you? "

"I?

what me? "

The girl stared blankly at the person in front of her, watching her lips open and close,
"Do you want to come with me?"

"Xiao Wan,"

As the sun was setting, Liu Sheng walked to the door of his house with a stack of books bought from a bookstore in the city.
"Xiao Wan,
Xiao Wan? "

Called a few times but no one answered, Liu Sheng frowned, walked a few steps into the room,
But she saw Liu Xiaowan sitting blankly on the chair in the middle of the room, with needles still stuck in the embroidery frame in her hand.

"Xiaowan, what are you doing?"

Liu Xiaowan was startled by the sound at close range, and then woke up, seeing Liu Sheng standing in front of her, she quickly stood up.

"Daddy, you're back,"

"What are you doing? Why haven't I heard you answer after calling outside for so long?"

"I, I am."

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"no,

Dad, I'm going to cook first. "

"Ah."

Liu Xiaowan put down the embroidery frame, and tidied up the things on the table with a sense of loss. Liu Sheng noticed that the progress of the embroidery on the frame was not much different from when she left.

Willow was keenly aware of it.
My daughter has something on my mind.

Liu Xiaowan carried the embroidery basket into her room, and walked towards the kitchen with her sleeves rolled up, but what kept haunting her was indeed what Zhao Huniu said to her during the day.
".How can I be with you?"

Time went back to when Zhao Huniu hadn't left yet,
Liu Xiaowan was only stunned for a moment, then shook her head while holding the needle.

"I'm not like sister Huniu, who is so bold and assertive, Uncle Cunwu will listen to you; besides, our family doesn't have much money, how can we do business without capital?

Sister Huniu, don't worry about me,

You have taken care of me a lot during this time, and I don't know how to repay you."

"If it's money, you don't have to worry about it,"

Zhao Huniu said lightly,
"If you are not at ease, you can write me an IOU first. If it is done well, I will naturally not only open one shop. If it is possible, I would like to have one shop in each line.
When the time comes, entrust one room to you, we will benefit from June Fourth,

You can return it to me slowly. "

Liu Xiaowan's heart was moved by Zhao Huniu's words,
She could see the scorching background in Zhao Huniu's eyes, the conviction and spirit contained in them - she had never seen such a color in any eyes,

Even those men.

Even if it's dad,
In his eyes, there is only the depression and peace after Qianfan.

"I"

Liu Xiaowan's lips trembled a few times,
The fire in Zhao Huniu's eyes may have really ignited her at this moment, but she finally sank down,
"I still don't want it, Miss Huniu."

"OK then,"

Zhao Huniu is not used to being aggressive, seeing that Liu Xiaowan still did not agree, she stopped asking.The two sat for a while and chatted about trivial matters.
Zhao Huniu said goodbye.

Zhao Huniu, who had gone out, hadn't walked a few steps when she met Guo Yinshu who was coming to Liu's house.
Guo Yinshu paused,
"Tiger girl,"

"Oh? What a coincidence,"

For Zhao Huniu, Guo Yinshu was finally classified as familiar; when she saw Guo Yinshu, she stopped and nodded to him quite actively.

"You are here to find Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu is not at home now, so you can come back when he is around."

"The teacher is not at home?"

Guo Yinshu looked at the direction Zhao Huniu came out from, it was from Liu's house,
He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Zhao Huniu's words with a hint of instructions, but said with a slight smile:
"I see, then I'll come back tomorrow."

"Ok.

Then I will go first. "

As Zhao Huniu walked past Guo Yinshu, she didn't say anything more.

However, she also noticed that the clothes on Guo Yinshu's body were almost as old as Zhao Huniu's before, and many places were patched.

But they are all washed clean and even have neat indentations.
Despite its age, it doesn't feel sloppy or slouchy.

Zhao Huniu admired Guo Yinshu's attitude towards life very much, and thought highly of him; but thinking of his mother's reasonable appearance, it is not surprising that he can raise such a child.

Zhao Huniu who came home looked at her chickens and ducks again,

After dinner,
He went back to the house and closed the door.

After lighting a candle, Zhao Huniu sat down on the bed. She reached out and groped under the bed for a while, only to hear the sound of a plank moving.

Then she took out a box from under the bed.

The box is nothing more than a simple wooden box, not too big, but Zhao Huniu is heavy in his hand, I don’t know what it contains——Zhao Huniu opened the lid, and if the thing lying inside is called Anyone who saw it would probably be surprised and couldn't close their mouths.
That was several ingots of gold.

Several ingots of gold, equal in size and volume, lay golden in the middle of the box,

No wonder even Zhao Huniu could see the obvious heaviness when she held it in her hand just now.

These are all the property that Zhao Huniu has earned during this time.

Originally, it was a hundred taels of silver, Zhao Huniu thought about it, and went to the bank to exchange it for gold, except for daily expenses, which was more convenient to store than a hundred taels of silver.

Zhao Huniu had never done business in her previous life,
The closest time was probably disguised as an ordinary peasant woman, and went to the city to sell fruit with the villagers at the foot of the mountain; that time was also to track down the traces of the robbers, and she just yelled a few times and then quietly left.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it cannot be called a business.

Zhao Huniu wanted to get more money,

It is definitely not enough to rely on the one-third of an acre of land at home and hunting.

Originally, she thought that Liu Xiaowan should have read more books than herself, and she might be able to give her advice, but since she didn't want to, there was nothing she could do.
Wait a few days to go to the city to see,

If it doesn't work, ask the boss of Jinlulou.He seems to have a big business,
Must be very experienced, right?
Thinking so, Zhao Huniu stuffed the box of gold under the bed,
Blow out the candle.
