Chapter 140 I'll pay you back when I have money

Madam Qin also likes Chen Baian, but Chen Baian's family conditions are too poor.

She pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down first."

He also asked Aunt Gui, who was standing by the side, to pour tea and snacks.

Liu Yingyue noticed that Madam Qin had an indifferent expression and knew that this meant she was not interested in Chen Baian.

In the original plot, it was indeed very difficult for Chen Baian to marry Qin Xiuzhu. In addition to the holding back of Chen Baian's uncle and aunt, his own inferiority complex was also at work.

She coughed lightly and glanced at Chen Baian.

Chen Baian understood, stood up and bowed to Madam Qin, saying, "Although I don't have Brother Yiran's ability to own a large manor and large land, I also have my own business."

Matchmaker Wang immediately followed suit, "Yes, yes, although he doesn't have such a big farm, he has a small house, a house with two entrances, and it's on the market street. Most young people of his age need their parents to buy a house for them, but he bought a house with his own ability, which is really amazing."

Madam Qin had heard earlier that Chen Baian was an orphan and had always thought that he was staying with his uncle and aunt. Unexpectedly, he actually had a house?

"Yingyue, have you seen his house?" Madam Qin looked at Liu Yingyue.

Liu Yingyue nodded. "I've been there once. It's a very quiet little courtyard. I'll take you to see it when mom goes to the market someday."

"You are the eldest sister-in-law. I feel relieved now that you have seen it." Madam Qin nodded and asked Chen Baian how much money he had saved.

Chen Baian was in a dilemma because he didn't have much money saved.

Qin Xiuzhu glanced at him and hurriedly took off a golden hairpin from her head, "Mother, this was given to me by Bai'an. It cost him a lot of money."

Madam Qin glanced at her and said, "I didn't ask you."

"Mom, Bai'an used the money he saved to buy a house." Liu Yingyue said.

"If we don't save any money, how will we live in the future? What about the betrothal money?" Madam Qin shook her head.

Qin Yiran walked towards Chen Baian and quietly stuffed something into his hand. Chen Baian looked down and his eyes widened in shock. A hundred taels of silver?
What does this mean, brother-in-law?
"I remember Bai'an said that day that he wanted to exchange silver bills? You must have some silver and money on hand, right?" Qin Yiran looked back at him, walked over to Liu Yingyue and sat down.

His little actions could not be hidden from Liu Yingyue.

Liu Yingyue pursed her lips and smiled, pretending not to see it, and lowered her head to drink tea.

Chen Baian looked embarrassed and said, "Ah, yes."

"Then how many are there?" Madam Qin asked again.

"One...one hundred taels." Chen Baian squeezed the banknote in his hand and let out a breath quietly.

"Well, with a savings of one hundred taels, I can barely get by for a few years." Madam Qin's expression relaxed slightly.

"I recently made a few new dishes, which were very popular with the owner of the county restaurant. When the bills are settled next month, I will have money again," said Chen Baian.

The food Chen Baian was talking about was the strange-flavored broad beans and various kinds of crispy candies that Liu Yingyue taught him to make.

The crispy candies are made in modern style and sold as a set meal, combined with Qin Xiuzhu’s wedding fruit boxes.

Very popular in the county.

The strange-tasting broad beans are mainly delivered to restaurants.

Broad beans are wrapped in flour mixed with various seasonings and then fried.

It can be packed in paper bags and sold as snacks or put on plates for drinkers to enjoy with wine.

Because of its unique taste, it did good business as soon as it was launched.

People who go to the market street to buy snacks will also buy some of the strange-tasting broad beans he makes.

Liu Yingyue, through the introduction of Mr. Liu's eldest daughter, took Chen Baian to the county town's restaurants. After delivering a batch of goods, the response was very good.

Eight batches of goods have been delivered so far. The restaurant's business is settled monthly, and last month's goods have already been paid. He bought a gold hairpin for Qin Xiuzhu, and this month's goods are even more, so Chen Baian can settle more than ten taels of silver.

After deducting the costs, he could still earn about ten taels.

After listening to Chen Baian talking about his business, Madam Qin nodded.

"Then what do your uncle and aunt say? Will you live with them in the future, or will you live separately?" Madam Qin asked again.

"I will live separately and will not live with them."

Madam Qin had no more questions, and asked Qin Yiran and Liu Yingyue what they thought.

"Mom, I have no objection." Liu Yingyue said.

"Follow mother's arrangements." Qin Yiran also said.

"Well... let's do this." Mrs. Qin, who had no opinion of her own, agreed when she saw that her son and daughter-in-law agreed.

The matchmaker was overjoyed and pulled Chen Baian to her side, saying, "Hurry up and thank me."

Chen Baian understood and bowed again, this time changing his tone to say, "My son-in-law greets my mother-in-law."

Madam Qin raised her hand and said, "Get up quickly."

After the marriage is agreed upon, the next step is to discuss the wedding date. This is a big event and must be compatible with the horoscopes.

Although Chen Baian has no parents, his uncle and aunt have to come forward, and the elders of the Chen family also have to come forward.

The two sides discussed it and agreed to come to the village to discuss it again in three days.

Liu Yingyue notified the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch.

After dinner, Chen Baian chatted with Madam Qin and Qin Yiran.

Liu Yingyue took Qin Xiuzhu away and went to Qin Xiuzhu's residence.

If someone wanted to ask about Chen Baian's future arrangements and the arrangements for the bride's reception from the man's family, Qin Xiuzhu would have to avoid them.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Qin Xiuzhu pulled Liu Yingyue's hand and said shyly.

Liu Yingyue smiled and said, "Why thank you? If you live well, I will be less worried."

The original owner killed Qin Xiuzhu and Chen Baian, so she had to set the situation right so that she could live a good life.
-
Because the marriage was about to be discussed, Madam Qin didn't let Qin Xiuzhu go to the market again. Liu Huaiyue was a young girl, and if Qin Xiuzhu didn't go, she wouldn't go either.

In the afternoon, Chen Baian drove the donkey cart back alone.

Qin Yiran sent him to the door of the manor and patted him on the shoulder. "Can one person take care of the shop?"

Chen Baian nodded, "Yes, Xiuzhu is not in the shop because of something, so I am the only one busy."

"How can one person look after the shop? If you go out to deliver goods, won't the shop have to be closed? I'll find someone to help you. When you get married to Xiuzhu, you can live in the shop." Qin Yiran said.

Chen Baian thought of the banknote just now. He took it out and handed it back to Qin Yiran, "Brother Yiran, you sent someone to help me and gave me a banknote. I dare not accept it."

"Who said it was a gift? This is a loan. Pay me back when you have money in the future!" Qin Yiran pushed it back. "The donkey cart you drive is still Xiuzhu's. My mother won't say anything today. But if you drive Xiuzhu's donkey cart again on your wedding day, my mother will have something to think about. You can use this money to buy a mule."

Chen Baian didn't know what to say.

He nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Yiran."

"Remember, be nice to Xiuzhu, otherwise I won't agree!" Qin Yiran said with a sullen face.

He knew Chen Baian's character, and he was just pretending.

Chen Baian immediately nodded seriously, "Brother Yiran, don't worry, I will definitely not treat Xiuzhu unfairly."
