Chapter 138

Yao Huahua paused for a moment. She didn't want her aunt to know that she could make money, but since she knew, that's all. She raised her head and said, "Not much."

"It's not much. I've asked. This hairpin costs fifteen Wen. If you take half of it, you'll get eight Wen, right?"

"Not half." Yao Huahua didn't know how to show off his wealth, so he made up nonsense, "Only [-]%."

"So little?" The eldest aunt obviously didn't believe it.

Yao Huahua said again: "How much do you think about other people's shops?"

Of course, my aunt hoped that Yao Huahua would not earn so much, so she preferred to believe that Yao Huahua could only earn [-]%.

The eldest aunt laughed again: "Hua'er, I think your hairpin is very beautiful. Your mother also wears one. Why don't you give me one?"

Yao Huahua immediately replied: "No!"

"Why? Why are you so stingy? Don't you sell it for only [-]%? You can't bear a few copper coins?" The aunt was not happy.

Yao Huahua said while peeling the wood: "It's not a matter of a few copper coins. I'll give you today, A Tao tomorrow, and A Ju the day after tomorrow. Am I still in business?"

The auntie saw that Hua'er refused so decisively, without even a moment of hesitation, and said her words so directly, she immediately left angrily
……

In the evening, Yao Huahua was counting the things she made that day, and at the end of the count, she found that two hairpins were missing.

She remembered that she had made twenty of them, but now there were only eighteen of them, and two of the peach blossoms were missing. She searched the whole house several times, but still couldn't find them.

Could it be that the eldest aunt took it?Because the eldest aunt came to ask in the morning, but she didn't give it.

When she walked out of the yard, she happened to see her aunt washing the dishes. The aunt seemed to glance at her, but she looked away after a while, pretending that she didn't see Yao Huahua.

Yao Huahua walked directly towards her aunt, then squatted down next to her, and stared at her intently.

The aunt turned around and saw Yao Huahua staring at her without blinking, which made her feel scared, so she gave Yao Huahua a blank look: "You have no work to do? Why are you staring at me?"

Yao Huahua smiled: "I just discovered that two hairpins are missing."

"Two hairpins are missing? What does it matter to me? I didn't take them!" said the aunt angrily.

"I didn't say... you took it." Yao Huahua still kept smiling, and her tone was also light: "However, I heard that Shitou has a dog who is very good at finding things. Let him smell something. It can be found, and I plan to borrow it."

Yao Huahua tried her best to make herself speak as if she was reading a book, so she could speak fluently.

The eldest aunt was fierce and innocent just now, but now when Yao Huahua said that she wanted to borrow a dog, she was obviously flustered.

There is indeed a dog like this in Shishi. The villagers in Shihua Village all know that the dog can find things with the same smell as long as it smells it. It is said that the dog has found many things for the squires. , the stone will not be so valued by the country gentry.

The eldest aunt already knew that Yao Huahua was trying to test her, but she would definitely not admit that she stole the hairpin, so she continued: "The stone is very precious, you can ask, and the stone may not lend it to you. Besides, didn't Shitou have a feud with Pei Baoshan because of Widow Li's matter not long ago? He will lend you?"

Yao Huahua smiled again: "Two hairpins, thirty Wen, I'll give the stone fifteen, lose half and earn half, I don't lose money, and the stone can make money!"

The eldest aunt was obviously panicked, and she almost couldn't hold the bowl steadily, but she couldn't immediately admit that she took it, so she said, "Then... when are you going to borrow it?"

Only then did Yao Huahua stand up, and said again: "Tomorrow morning, it's getting late now, let's go tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, Yao Huahua went back to the house immediately.

And the auntie's action of washing the dishes has obviously slowed down.
