Chapter 168 If You Don't Eat, the Money Will Not Be Refunded
"Mom, let's go." Hearing the sarcasm and ridicule from those noble ladies, Yang Xiaohua embarrassedly pulled Xiao Zhang, wanting to escape from here as soon as possible.
"This, you go and pack it for us first, we still need to pick out other things." Qin Xiaoran pointed at the pearl crown. They came to the county town today, and Yang Biao gave her 100,000 taels of silver notes. He was not short of money, so why should he let others look down on his family.
"Oh, okay, young lady, take your time to choose, I will pack it for you right away." The clerk was very happy, as the sales commission of this Zhenguan was very generous.
"Mom, Xiaohua, let's go over there and pick something." Qin Xiaoran wanted them to choose something to wear around their necks, but unfortunately, no matter how hard she pulled, they wouldn't move.
"I remembered that I have something to do at home. Let's go back first." Xiao Zhang took the lead and rushed downstairs. Yang Xiaohua hurriedly followed. Qin Xiaoran had no choice but to go downstairs to pay the money, took the packaged Zhenguan and quickly caught up with them.
"Oh, you really bought it." Yang Xiaohua saw the exquisite packaging in her hand and knew that she had already bought it.
"Hurry, return it quickly." Xiao Zhang was anxious. How could this child be so troublesome to buy such an expensive thing?
"Mom, this is the dowry I gave to Xiaohua. You can't return it. It's unlucky!" Qin Xiaoran handed the crown to Yang Xiaohua and asked her to keep it.
Hearing that it would be unlucky to send it back, Xiao Zhang didn't dare to say anything more. Her daughter was already fifteen years old and at the age to get married. No matter what, she still hoped that her child's marriage would go smoothly.
Yang Xiaohua took it happily and wanted to open it immediately to examine the crown carefully, but this was on the street and what if someone saw it and came up to snatch it away?
Then Qin Xiaoran saw Yang Xiaohua with wandering eyes looking around, and couldn't help laughing.
"Xiaohua, be more natural. As long as you and I don't say anything, no one will know that you are holding a precious pearl crown."
"Xiao Ran, my hands and feet no longer obey me." Yang Xiaohua complained bitterly as she had never held such an expensive thing in her hands.
"Okay, I'll carry it for you and return it to you when we get home." Seeing that she was really frightened, Qin Xiaoran took the crown from her hand.
"Huh!" Yang Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she didn't have to carry that expensive thing herself.
"Mom, it's almost noon. Let's go to Wangfu Restaurant for lunch." Qin Xiaoran looked up at the height of the sun. It was time for lunch.
"The food in the restaurant is too expensive. We can just have a bowl of wontons." She heard that a dish in a restaurant could cover a family's expenses for a month, but Xiao Zhang was still afraid to spend too much money.
"Mom, Yang Biao has already paid. If we don't go to eat, the money will not be refunded." Qin Xiaoran was now very good at lying and felt that Yang Biao was right. A white lie was a small lie told moderately for the sake of happiness and hope and it did not count as cheating.
"We didn't even go to eat, why don't you refund?" Xiao Zhang felt that the restaurant was being unreasonable and she had to go and argue with them.
"The restaurant has already placed an order for the ingredients we want to eat, and they may be almost ready now. If we say we don't want them, who will they sell them to?" Qin Xiaoran answered seriously. She found that she had the potential to be a profiteer as Yang Biao said.
"Mom, let's go eat. Not only do we have to eat, but we have to eat every dish." Yang Xiaohua pulled Xiao Zhang's arm and acted coquettishly. She liked the food cooked in the restaurant.
"Okay, let's go." If people don't go to eat and the restaurant won't refund the money, then Xiao Zhang will definitely go to eat. She will not do anything to waste money.
"Awake?" Yang Biao finished reading a page of the book and was about to turn the page when he glanced at the person on the bed and found that she was staring at him.
"Well, how long have I slept?" Xia Weiwei stood up with a smile. Yang Biao quickly put down the book and went over to help her.
"Let me give my wife a sweet kiss first." Yang Biao felt that everything must have a sense of ritual, and kissing was the first thing she did every time she woke up.
"I suspect that you can control the time when you sleep. You woke up just as the food was served. Let's eat first." Yang Biao first carried her to the dining table, then opened the wooden food box on the table, placed the dishes inside one by one, and finally sat down.
"While I am still young and can hold you, I can hold you more now. When I am old and have no strength and can't hold you anymore, please don't despise me and abandon me." Yang Biao kept saying this while picking up food and feeding it into her mouth.
"Puchi!" Seeing his pitiful expression begging for shelter, Xia Weiwei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Madam, you look so beautiful when you smile!" Yang Biao really likes to see young girls' smiles, which are so bright and sunny.
"Hmm..." Xia Weiwei's mouth was blocked again, and the two of them entered a state of ecstasy again.
"Brother, where are you?" Yang Xiaohua's voice came from outside the door, and the two separated.
"You continue eating first, I'll go take a look." In the past, when Xiao Zhang said that Yang Xiaohua's behavior was crazy, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was the nature of children. But after seeing this today, he felt that he really needed to discipline her.
"I'm here. What do you want from me?" Yang Biao opened the door and walked out, closing it casually without even looking at where anyone was. He just spoke directly to the air.
"Brother, have you eaten? I brought some dishes from the restaurant." Yang Xiaohua came over with a lunch box. Not only her, but also Xiao Zhang and Qin Xiaoran who were following behind her also had a lunch box in their hands.
"When we ordered dishes from the restaurant, my mother told us to pack them all up and take them away so that we can eat them more cleanly." Seeing that he was puzzled by this, Qin Xiaoran explained their behavior.
"Mom, please come in and sit down." Just when Yang Biao was about to ask them to take the dishes to the guest table in the bookstore to eat, Xia Weiwei opened the door and came out to invite them.
"Sister-in-law is eating too," seeing that there were already four dishes and a soup on the table, Yang Xiaohua hurriedly brought out the dishes she had brought.
"You sit down first. There are not so many rules in my family." Seeing Xia Weiwei standing and preparing to salute, Yang Biao pulled her to sit on the chair at the dining table.
"Yes, Weiwei is pregnant, and it's not good for her to stand for a long time." Xiao Zhang also raised the food box in her hand and asked Yang Xiaohua to bring it out.
"Yeah," Xia Weiwei wanted to stand up and answer, but Yang Biao, who was standing behind her, held her shoulders with both hands, so she could only sit down.
"Mom, come and sit down." Yang Xiaohua and Qin Xiaoran arranged the dishes and asked Xiao Zhang to come and sit down.
"Hey," Xiao Zhang looked around at the decoration of the room. The wives, old and young, who came to her house to chat often said that the things city dwellers used were luxurious. She thought that everything placed here was luxurious and especially expensive.
"Yang Biao, you have opened a bookstore in Wenchang County. Have you ever thought about setting up business in the capital?" Everyone sat together and ate. Qin Xiaoran felt that Yang Biao was really messing around. How much money could he make by opening a bookstore in a small county town? Someone had to look after it.
"Beijing?" Xia Weiwei looked at her. This girl had great ambitions.
"Well," Qin Xiaoran knew that she was probing her. Yang Biao had never told her his identity. "The capital is under the feet of the emperor. There is money everywhere."
Facing the stormy situation between the two girls, Yang Biao continued to pick up food and eat calmly.
"Why do we have to go so far?" Xiao Zhang thought it was too far and it would be nice to open a shop in the county town so that she could take a bus over when she wanted to see her son.
"Mom is right, the food is getting cold, let's eat quickly." Yang Biao still wanted to go to the printing room, so he ate faster.
"Mom, Weiwei, take your time eating. Xiaoran, come out with me." After Yang Biao finished his meal, he took the bowl and chopsticks from Qin Xiaoran's hands.
