"Didn't I make the basket before? I can also cut bamboo out to make a basket and earn some money."
She could not stay in the house like this. She also wanted to ease her daughter's burden. Now this
family was almost supported by her.
"Mom, making a basket is too hard. Look at your hands, which almost split into two parts. How can I
bear to see you suffer from pains? You don't have to make a basket. Moreover, my business is getting
on track. Give me more time. When I have enough money, I can do anything else,"
Celia consoled her. Wendy had been working hard for her whole life. Celia knew that she couldn't live
without work, so she asked her to stay at home and mind the store to keep her busy.
"But I have nothing to do."
"Mother, you're buying eggs for me. You've already done me a big favor. I can't achieve what I had
without you. And you see what good things I've brought for you today?"
Celia pointed at the box. She needed at least a month to distract her mother's attention. If the clothes
business went well, she had to leave here with Wendy.
"What did you buy? Don't waste your money like that."
Since Celia had made some money, she had bought Wendy many things. No one could imagine that a
timid girl like Celia would be so capable. If Sue had known that her daughter was so capable now, she
would not have driven them out of the Tang family.
"It was not a waste. We should enjoy our lives sometimes. You don't have to be worried about the
money, and I can earn them back tomorrow. It is not a big deal."
Celia opened the packed up food box, and Wendy saw that it was all the things that she had never
imagined that she would be able to enjoy it in her life.
"How much will you spend?"
Wendy screamed when she saw pig's feet and fish in the box.
"It won't cost much. You are so thin. You need more nutrition."
Wendy had suffer a lot, and she should enjoy her life a little bit more since Celia had made some
money.
"Don't spend too much money on such things in the future."
"Fine, fine, fine."
Their lives would be better and better, she would try her best to make a small change everyday in their
lives.
"By the way, mom, how about the eggs today?"
Celia asked.
"Up to now, there are two hundred and eight eggs. It takes time for the chickens to lay eggs."
Said Wendy.
"Well, if someone comes to sell eggs, please tell them that we also want chicken here. Ten dollars for a
chicken, but the chicken we needs at least 2.5 kilograms. I need ten to be sent to the restaurant."
Celia said. The chicken from the countryside were usually raised for eggs. If the price was good, they
would give it a thought.
"The prices are much higher than that of in town. I guess they will sell the chickens to us."
"Okay, I know. You must have waited for me for a long time and haven't had lunch yet. You can heat
the food in the kitchen. I'll stay here."
Said Celia, bring a chair to sit in front of the door. She had never leisurely sat here since she came to
this village, and she hadn't had time to enjoy its scenery.
"Mr. Sharon is really rich. I heard that he gave Mr. Horace ten thousand dollars for this house."
"Exactly! He was rich and a college student, so 10000 dollars was nothing to him."
"That's right. We need to finish it as soon as possible. That's their only condition."
Celia was sitting outside the house. The foundation of the house had been built and the workers were
making bricks.
It had only been a few days and the building was several meters high. With such a high speed, people
could live in this house within a month.
'Ten thousand dollars? Wow, he is really rich. But why didn't I see him after I came back?
It has been several hours, and he should have been back by now. But I haven't seen him yet. Is he
really angry with me?'
Celia didn't know what was wrong with her. The face of Sharon kept flashing in her mind.
"Mom, I have to go to Mr. Horace's home."
Celia decided to have a look. She was a woman of action all the time.
"What are you going to do in Mr. Horace's?"
Wendy was busy cooking in the kitchen.
"I want to see how many chickens my aunt has."
By the way, she wanted to know whether Sharon was back or not. She wondered whether Sharon was
really mad at her.
Firewood room was not far from Horace's house, so Celia arrived in less than five minutes.
"Celia?"
Celia was greeted by someone the moment she approached the house.
"Hardy."
In the courtyard, Hardy Liu, the eldest son of the village head, was doing homework. When he saw
Celia coming, he blushed red. It was said that Hardy had failed in the college entrance examination this
year and went back home to study. He worked very hard at study. Although he was a high school
student, he was very outstanding in the village.
"Am I interrupting your study?"
"No, No. what brings you here? Come in and take a seat."
Celia was said to be the most beautiful girl in the village. Now when he saw with his own eyes, she was
indeed much more beautiful than the girls in his class.
"Thanks, Hardy. I'm going to my aunt's to see if she is at home."
Hardy Liu was studying, so she didn't want to disturb him.
"My mother? Please wait a moment."
Hearing Celia's words, Hardy put down his pen and entered the house.
Celia picked up the book that fell on the ground.
"English test?"
Celia took out the English test paper. She had a look at the title of the paper. Celia was a college
student and a CEO. Naturally, she was good at English. However, when she saw Hardy's work, she
couldn't help but frown. Half of the answers were wrong. No wonder he was disqualified from the exam.
However, in the 80's, English had not been popularized in the country yet and the college entrance
examination had only been restored for a few days. Everything was under exploration at that time.
"My mother will be out soon."
Hardy was soaked in sweat. He looked a simple and honest young man.
"Thank you, Hardy. But I think you might have made a mistake here."
Celia didn't want him to make a mistake in such easy test.
"Really? Let me check."
Hardy didn't contradict her. He picked up a book and checked it. Then he looked at Celia in shock and
asked, "Celia, You know English?"
The Tang family had a tradition that they preferred men to women. How could they let Celia study in
school?
"No, no, I guessed it,"
Celia claimed. She shouldn't have said that. People would become suspicious of her behavior.
"Celia, you are so clever. Your guess is right."
The village head's wife had already stood behind them while wiping her hands.
