Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 119 Bet

I came over curiously and asked, "Sister, what are you weaving?"

An Yue put down the work in her hands, stood up and took off An Nian's hat and raincoat.

She smiled and said to An Nian: "Sister was bored at home and wanted to make a cage."

"Sister, why are you weaving a cage?" An Nian asked curiously.

"My sister wants to raise a few hens. When they lay eggs, we can eat eggs every day."

An Yue found that An Nian's clothes were wet, and hurriedly said, "Niannian, go change into clean clothes!"

Although wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, he could not withstand the slanting wind and drizzle.

When An Nian heard that he could eat eggs every day, he jumped for joy.

"But when did sister learn how to weave cages?" An Nian poked his head out of the room and asked curiously.

An Yue smiled and said, "Actually, my sister doesn't know how to make it up. She just made it up by trial and error!"

An Yue had just divided the bamboo strips and was about to start weaving when it got dark.

On rainy days, it gets dark especially early.

An Yue picked up the messy bamboo sticks on the floor of the hall and prepared to start cooking dinner.

While sweeping the floor, An Yue asked, "Niannian, have you ridden the ox cart today?"

"No, there is no ox cart." An Nian changed his clothes and came out, and helped to pack up.

"Sister, you know that I am reluctant to spend money every year. If my clothes get wet and I catch a cold, won't I have to spend more money to treat the disease?"

"Is this the truth when I think about it every year?"

An Nian's little thoughts were seen through by his sister. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and replied, "Sister, you are absolutely right. Nian Nian will listen to you and will definitely ride the ox cart next time."

After the brother and sister finished cleaning the hall, they went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Sister, I want to eat meat every day!" An Nian sat under the stove naturally and waited for the fire to be lit.

"Okay, sister will cook meat for Niannian."

As they spoke, the brother and sister continued to cook dinner as usual, with An Yue cooking and An Nian handing them firewood.

After eating, An Yue prepared to put the dried herbs in a backpack. The dried herbs looked like a lot, but they were actually very light.

Their backpacks were too small, so An Yue had to bundle the herbs up carefully and then tie them to the backpacks.

The brother and sister worked hard to tie it up for a while and finally finished tying it up.

After packing the herbs, they washed their feet and went to bed.

The next day, the brother and sister got up very early.

The spring rain finally stopped.

After finishing their meal, the brother and sister changed their clothes, carried their backpacks and went to the main intersection to wait for Li Wu's ox cart.

At the end of Mao Shi.

Li Wu’s ox cart arrived.

The brother and sister quickly said politely, "Uncle!"

Li Wu smiled and gestured to the siblings. He looked at the siblings' backpacks and hurried to help. They looked like ordinary weeds, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yueyue, are these weeds?"

An Yue nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, but also no."

After putting the backpack on the ox cart, everyone got on the cart. Li Wu didn't understand what An Yue meant, so he continued to ask, "Yueyue, do you want to take the weeds to the town to sell?"

"Uncle is right!"

Li Wu sat in the front driving the ox cart, laughing and saying, "Kids are just kids, they always think they can exchange anything for money. These weeds can be found everywhere in our village, who would spend money to buy these weeds?"

Yes! They can neither be eaten nor worn as clothes, and no one would spend money to buy such things.

Moreover, for the villagers, these weeds growing in the fields are harmful but have no benefits.

These inconspicuous weeds are not given the correct and due value, so everyone thinks they are worthless.

But they don’t know that when their bodies are at their most vulnerable, what they need most are often these seemingly insignificant things.

An Yue smiled and said, "Uncle, do you think Yueyue can't be sold today?"

Li Wu said generously: "Haha...that's right!"

An Nian was sitting in the back listening and was about to open his mouth to refute what Li Wu said, but was stopped in time by An Yue.

An Yue did not lose heart, but asked challengingly: "Uncle, what will you do if Yueyue is sold?"

Li Wu thought that this was impossible, so he patted his chest and said, "If Yueyue sells these weeds, I, Li Wu, will fry eggs for you with my palms."

An Yue cleared her throat and said in a serious tone: "Uncle, Yueyue doesn't want you to fry eggs in your palms."

She smiled mischievously and said, "Hehe...Uncle, today is not the big market, how about we make a bet?"

Li Wu thought, since today was not a big market day and he was not busy, he simply accepted the bet.

He laughed loudly and said, "Haha... you little brat, you dare to bet with your uncle? Your uncle has lived for decades. If you lose, you are not allowed to cry!"

An Nian suddenly said, "Sister doesn't like to cry."

Li Wu asked curiously: "Then Yueyue, tell me, what is the bet?"

An Yue tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Uncle, seeing is believing. You and Yueyue go to sell the weeds in person. If Yueyue fails to sell all the weeds within an hour, I will give you fifty coins immediately. How do you think?"

"On the other hand, if Yueyue sells all the weeds, uncle will exempt us from ten days of oxcart fees. How do you think?"

In Li Wu's mind, this was like picking up fifty cents for free.

He readily agreed: "That's fine!"

An Yue secretly rejoiced in her heart: "I found a helper to help me, which saves me a lot of effort."

We talked and laughed along the way and soon arrived at the entrance of the town.

After the rain, the sky cleared up and there were very few people on the streets. Even the shops on both sides of the street were not open yet.

Li Wu accepted An Yue's bet and naturally followed An Yue driving the ox cart to the street.

We drove the ox cart to the gate of a shop called Minkang Pharmacy.

When the ox cart arrived here, it was not far from the school.

An Yue said to An Nian: "Niannian, go!"

After saying that, An Nian turned and walked towards the west entrance of the town, and An Yue also began to move the backpack from the ox cart.

Seeing that An Yue was having a hard time moving the cow, Li Wu tied it to a pillar next to the shop and considerately helped An Yue.

"Where is Yueyue going to put the weeds?"

"Uncle, please follow Yueyue."

An Yue carried An Nian's backpack on her back, and Li Wu carried An Yue's backpack on his arm, and the two walked into the shop one after the other.

As soon as I arrived at the shop door, I saw Manager Zhou tidying up the shop. I guess he had just opened the shop.

An Yue smiled and called out, "Uncle Zhou."

Shopkeeper Zhou saw that it was An Yue, and he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Miss An Yue is here!"

An Yuetian smiled and nodded, saying, "Uncle Zhou, this is dried plantain dandelion."

Shopkeeper Zhou walked forward, picked up the herbs in An Yue's basket, smelled them, looked at them, and confirmed that they were all of good quality. He smiled and said,
