Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The whole family depended on the three of them and the rent from the shop in town to survive.
They were barely getting by.
However, her father-in-law was old and he was also the village chief. Sooner or later they would have to spend money on medicine.
Therefore, it was true that the Li family was relying on their savings to survive.
Lin Xiaoyue didn’t really believe Zhang Shi’s words.
The village chief’s family was much better off than the Wang family. There were many girls who wanted to marry into the Li family.
There were several families in their village who wanted to marry their daughters into the Li family.
…..
It was just that Zhang Shi was picky.
On the other hand, Aunt Wang said that it was difficult to get a wife for his son because of their financial situation.
If they were as well-off and reputable as the Li family, she would receive many matches.
Aunt Wang was really envious of the Li family just because they could easily get a wife for their son.
Wang Shuanzi was indeed better than the dull Li Laishun in terms of looks and capability.
The only thing he lacked was a good family background.
When Zhang Shi said that she was worried about money, she didn’t really believe it.
The village chief’s family was the most respectable family in their village.
However, she didn’t refuse.
The village chief took good care of her family and helped her a lot.
Moreover, it was only beneficial for them to have a good relationship with the village chief s family.
“Aunt, you can be straightforward with me,” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said to Zhang Shi.
The worry on Zhang Shi’s face immediately dissipated, and then her eyes lit up.
“What I mean is, can you supply Lai Shun with some cold cakes and let him sell them at the neighboring villages?” Zhang Shi said.
Without waiting for Lin Xiaoyue to reply, Zhang Shi added, “at the same price that you sold to Shuanzi!”
Lin Xiaoyue paused.
Then, under Zhang Shi’s slightly nervous gaze, she smiled and nodded.
“Of course, but I have a few conditions.”
“Tell me,” Zhang Shi immediately said.
Since Lin Xiaoyue had agreed, she relaxed.
“After all, Shuanzi was the first. If I work with Laishun, it cannot affect his business.”
“So, Laishun must not go to the same villages that Shuanzi goes to.”
Based on her understanding, Wang Shuanzi would go to the six or seven villages behind Daishi Village.
Wang Shuanzi didn’t have an ox-cart, and he had limited time and energy. Selling 12 buckets of cold cakes was almost his limit.
However, there were three roads leading out of the west of Qingshi Town. In the direction to their village, there were twenty villages in total. In fact, the market was still very big.
Therefore, she welcomed Li Laishun to distribute her cold cakes.
In fact, she was happy to have him.
It would be best if they went to different places to sell her cold cakes.
If he walked, it would be a little difficult.
However, if there was an ox-cart, iit was easy.
Zhang Shi’s face stiffened, and then she quickly agreed.
“Deal! We have an ox-cart.. I’ll let Laishun ride it, so it’s fine even if we go a little further!”
