Chapter 9
Looking at the child, Dai Qingyun was heartbroken. She was originally a very soft-hearted person, and she couldn't bear to see the miserable appearance of the old, weak, sick and disabled.

"Take me to see your grandma and buy some food."

Dai Qingyun really couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart, and couldn't bear to leave him like this.

Then the two went to buy some meat buns, and the little boy took Dai Qingyun to a broken house on the edge of the town.

A frail old woman lay on a plank beside her.

The little boy said awkwardly, "I came here by begging with my grandma, so..."

"It's okay, take the buns to your grandma to eat."

Dai Qingyun touched his head with some distress. After some conversation, she learned that the little boy was only eight years younger than him. His name was Gu Ran. His parents died early, and only his grandma barely raised him.

Unexpectedly, thinking of the famine in the north, I came here begging all the way.

Brutely left three states!
Dai Qingyun sighed, there are such poor families everywhere.

After eating the buns, Grandma Gu regained some strength, and kept thanking her.

"Thank you, little girl, if it weren't for you, I would have been beaten to death." Grandma Gu wiped her tears and hugged Gu Ran distressedly.

"It's okay, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

Dai Qingyun shook his head, pursed his lips, counted twenty coins from his purse, and handed it to Grandma Gu.

"I don't have much money either. You can take these twenty copper coins and go to the town to find a job. Stop begging. It will definitely be fine to find a job to make ends meet."

Although Dai Qingyun is soft-hearted, he also knows what it means to save the emergency and not the poor. If Grandma Gu still has to beg for a living, then she will treat it as if she didn't see it next time.

"Thank you, thank you. I can't do anything all the way here. When I get here, for the sake of it, I will find a decent job."

Grandma Gu touched Gu Ran's head and said firmly.

After hearing this, Dai Qingyun nodded, knowing that he could just work hard.

Dai Qingyun calculated that Erlang would arrive soon, so he said goodbye and left.

This time Erlang brought all the soap left at home.

Five yuan was given to Zhang Lizheng, and the family kept five yuan. They sold it for 100 yuan in the morning. Lin and Li sold two yuan in the village, and two yuan for trial use, leaving 130 six pieces of soap.

"I told Grandma and Fourth Aunt that our morning soaps are all sold out, and they are cooking lard at home right now, and Rong'er and Yi'er have already taken Shiro to pick flower petals."

Erlang chatted happily with the two girls.

"Okay, let's sell out and go home for dinner as soon as possible!"

Dai Qingyun cheered up, and Dai Qingyu also helped to set up the stall.

Dai Qingyun yelled for a while, and gradually more people bought soap.

Dai Qingyun was in charge of yelling and introducing, Dai Qingyu was in charge of collecting money and settling accounts, Erlang also yelled twice from time to time, and added soap to the lack of soap on the table in time.

The three of them were dizzy in a hurry, and finally when the crowd slowly dispersed, the soap in the backpack was sold out!

After returning home and having dinner, Dai Qingyu hurriedly did the calculations.

"Twenty cents a piece of soap, plus the two pieces sold by my grandma and the fourth aunt, a total of 230 eight pieces of soap were sold, which is four taels of silver and 760 coins!"

After finishing the calculation, Dai Qingyu opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised that he sold so much money today!
Dai Qingyun went on to say, "Except for the money for buying salted pork suet and the molds made by Uncle Li, 510 and five Wen, we made a net profit of more than four taels!"

Having said that, Dai Qingyun looked at Mrs. Lin, feeling a little hopeful in her heart, so that she would soon have capital by selling soap a few more times, and she could slowly start her next plan!
Everyone was in an uproar after hearing this, but they didn't expect the soap to sell so well!

Lin nodded, "Not bad, not bad, if the soap business remains stable like this, life will definitely get better and better."

"Tomorrow I will go to a private school and start teaching, and then I will help sell our soap, and the business will definitely not be bad."

Old man Dai smiled, took a sip of herbal tea, and looked at Dai Qingyun who was sitting on a small stool.

"Thanks to Yun'er for this idea."

"Master, you don't have to be so polite, the most important thing is for our family to get rich!"

Dai Qingyun rested his chin with both hands, looking cute and cute.

A few sisters-in-law of the Zhao family were tearing cloth to make cloth bags. Hearing Dai Qingyun's words, Qian said with a smile, "Young girl Yun'er has been well-behaved since she was a child, and now she speaks and acts more steadily."

"Indeed, compared to Yi'er, this girl is more like a sister."

Sun couldn't help but boast.

Only Mrs. Zhao curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and pulled Dai Qingyu to sew the cloth bag.

"Where did the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law say, Yun'er is just a little clever."

Li replied gently, looking at Dai Qingyun with love in his eyes.

"Father and mother, the land at home is fertile anyway, and there is nothing to do these two days. Let's rent a shop in the town to sell soap."

Erfang Daizhiyi spoke abruptly.

"No, Second Uncle, there is no need to open a shop. It would be a waste if the shop only sells soap."

Dai Qingyun shook his head disapprovingly, the shop must be opened, but not now.

"Yun'er is right, your father will start teaching in the town tomorrow, so don't be idle, you brothers, go to the mountain to gather more firewood and come back."

Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes. These guys just wanted to be lazy, and then looked at the female relatives aside, "You should help make soap at home, sew more cloth bags, and don't even think about being lazy with the pile of things in the front and back yards."

Dai Qingyun snickered, as expected, Mrs. Lin knew her family best.

"Grandma, let Uncle Li make five more molds, and then you can make more at one time."

"I reckon that the plant ash accumulated in my room can be used twice, and I can go to the county to wholesale it if I make more at one time!"

At this time, Da Lang, who was writing with San Lang, raised his head, and the shadows of the two lamps on the table reflected his face, making him look more handsome and elegant.

"At that time, Saburo and I will go to the county together, and we can also read books in the county bookstore by the way."

"Okay, just do it."

Both Mrs. Lin and Mr. Dai nodded.

Because Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Li had already prepared the lard and ash water at home in the afternoon, Dai Qingyun only needed to heat it up and add flower petals to it.

Then the Dai family brothers poured all the soap liquid into the mold in two or three strokes.

In the middle of the night, Dai Qingyun felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she called Mrs. Li to accompany her to wake up at night, because the countryside was dark at night, even though there was moonlight, it still scared her!
As soon as the two finished their hands and walked to the east wing, they saw a dark shadow creeping in from the wall!
Seeing the man groping into the kitchen, Mrs. Li picked up the hoe at hand and shouted loudly, "A thief is coming, get up quickly! Come and catch the thief!!"

Dai Qingyun also hurriedly yelled, "Grandma, wake up, there are thieves coming!!"

Seeing that the thief was discovered, he was so frightened that he ran to the gate. How could Mrs. Li let him run away like this.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, he hit with a hoe, which made the thief stagger in fright.

"What! Where is the thief!"

"Damn it, don't let him get away!"

"Boss, second, third, fourth, grab him quickly!!"

At this time, everyone who was woken up was awake, and opened the door one after another. Sure enough, they saw a strange man in the yard. The thief wanted to run away in a hurry. Li just shouted don't hit me, don't hit me!
"Don't hit you? It's you who hit you!"

"How dare you beg for mercy when you don't sleep at home in the middle of the night and come to our house to steal??"

"I can't beat you to death!"

"Tell me, what did you steal from my house!"

The old man Dai hurriedly walked into the yard, "Okay, stop now."

"Tell me, what did you steal from our house!"

Seeing that everyone stopped their hands, the thief quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "No, no, I didn't steal anything!"

"Bah, you didn't steal anything, but what did you go to the kitchen secretly for?!"

Li shivered angrily, protecting his stomach with one hand. The thief obviously found out that their soap was making money and wanted to take a peek!
"Okay you! So it was the idea of ​​our family's secret recipe!"

Dai Zhili spat hard, and then made up for it, now the Dai family will make a fortune by pointing at the soap!
"You bastard, you look like a dog, do you know that if you steal in the middle of the night, you will go to the government to beat the board!"

Dai Zhixiao also became ruthless, if the thief took the guy, wouldn't his wife and daughter be in danger!Angrily, he punched it down again.

"Tell me, did you come to our house to steal the prescription!"

Lin stared at him fiercely, "Tie him up with a rope and send him to the government tomorrow morning!"

So the second room of the big room took the rope and tied up the thief.

The man trembled and kept begging for mercy, "Please let me go, I don't dare anymore, never dare again, don't send me to the government."

The old man Dai saw him crying with snot and tears, and snorted coldly, "Now I know I'm afraid, if I had known earlier, why did I have to do it in the first place!"

Regardless of what he said, he tied him up and threw him in the woodshed.

Then everyone yawned and went back to their room to catch up on sleep.

After sleeping for two hours, it was dawn.

After breakfast, Grandpa Dai called Dai Zhili to invite Lizheng to come over.

He helped to decide this matter. After all, such a scandal in the village is related to the face and jurisdiction of the village.

When Zhang Lizheng arrived, he explained the cause and effect to him on behalf of the old man, and then went to the private school in the town.

"Wang Qi!!"

When Zhang Lizheng looked at the tied up person, he was in a bad state. At first he thought it was someone from another village by chance, but now he saw that he was Wang Qi from their village!

"You are confused!!" Zhang Lizheng was so angry that his fingers were trembling.

Although this Wang Qi is lazy by nature, he has never done anything wrong before. This has also led to him being so old that he is still unmarried, and there is a 70-year-old mother at home!

"This person is indeed from our village, and there is an old lady at home, alas!"

Zhang Lizheng shook his head with a sad expression on his face.

Lin knew that Zhang Lizheng didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

"Zhang Lizheng, it's not that I want to make a fuss. This man broke into my house in the middle of the night and scared my daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Besides, what he wants to steal is our family's ancestral secret recipe!"

Zhang Lizheng's face became even more ugly after hearing what Lin said.

"But in the final analysis, they are all from the same village. As long as he can show an attitude, our family can also consider not reporting to the official."

Lin's words were airtight. On the one hand, she talked about Wang Qi's crimes, and on the other hand, she gave him a chance, which also made Zhang Lizheng not so embarrassed.

"Yes, yes, you are right, Wang Qi, why don't you admit your mistake quickly!"

Zhang Lizheng glared at Wang Qi angrily, wishing he could slap him to death.

"When you meet such a sensible and magnanimous family as the Dai family, just smile secretly! Next time you dare to mess around and arrest you directly to the government!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was confused for a while." Wang Qi knelt and kowtowed begging for mercy, "Yesterday I saw some of them selling soap and making a lot of money in the town, and I was fooled by lard for a while."

Wiping away another tear, he said, "I thought about sneaking a look at night to see what this soap is made of."
