The road to wealth for waste peasant women

Chapter 17: Backfired
"Experiment? What are you going to do?" Papa Nan frowned and looked at the small stove built by the woman. He obviously wanted to make something to eat. What can this food be tested for?
"I'm going to try to make a soup."

"Tongtong, what kind of soup do you want? Mother will make it for you, ah. It's a cold day, hurry up and go inside to warm up." Looking at Nan Qiutong's little hands turning red from the cold, Mrs. Nan felt distressed.

"Mother, it's fine. I'm the only one who can make this soup." Nan Qiutong stuck out her tongue.

"Oh, cousin, this soup needs ingredients, so don't waste those things for nothing." Nan Qiuyue didn't want to say this, but this made the family of three in Nan's family unhappy. .

"Qiuyue, what you said is wrong." Nan Qiutong chuckled, and looked up at Nan Qiuyue, "This money, you keep it in your hands, and you will spend it all sooner or later. If you want to make money, You have to spend the money first. Or is it enough for you, Qiuyue, to have this little money?"

"My cousin said this, what is this little money? If our family's current several hundred taels of silver is not abused, it will take three to five years to buy it. If it is abused...whether you can get through this winter is up to you." It's a problem. This winter, but there is still one month left."

Yo, who gave this girl such courage?Challenge her?Noticing the dark faces of the Nan family couple, Nan Qiutong sneered.

"Nan Qiuyue, how about we do this, I spend the money I earn, and you spend the money you earn, how about that?" Confront her?I don't even look at the clothes I'm wearing or who gave me the food I ate these days!Not long-sighted things!
"I...I...I..." Nan Qiuyue said three "me" in a row, and the more she said, the more she choked up, and finally she burst into tears.

Looking at the tears like running water, Nan Qiutong looked at the sky speechlessly.This girl is having an affair with Aunt Qiong Yao, right?How can I cry?Are tears worthless?
"I don't have the ability of my cousin...I'm just talking about the facts...the family's money is not much...my parents died early...I...I..."

"Shut up if you don't have the skills!" Nan Qiutong didn't like this, but the more she cried, the more she hated her. Is it an excuse to win sympathy if parents died long ago?Unfilial thing! "Since it's me who earns your money, then you just shut up and enjoy it, want to blame me? Wait until you surpass me!"

"You..." Although Nan Qiuyue's parents died early, the Nan family and his wife treated her well and never scolded her. Nan Qiuyue got angry immediately, "Don't think that no one knows about your money. How did you earn it! Didn’t you just win it in a gambling workshop? I don’t know what method was used! Who cares about this dirty money!” Nan Qiuyue was crying and fussing.

"Tongtong, is what Yue'er said true?" Upon hearing the word "gambling workshop", Father Nan's expression changed.

"Yes, I went to the gambling house. I won all the money spent at home these few days from the gambling house. I'm willing to bet and admit defeat." Now that she was found out, Nan Qiutong would not lie, dare to do it , she dares to be.

"You...you rebellious girl! My Nan family has been good for generations, why did you come out with such a sneaky thing!" Hearing Nan Qiutong speak with confidence, Nan's father became even more angry.

"Yes, it's my fault for me to gamble, but I'm not addicted to gambling, but I just want to make some money in the shortest possible time. Dad and mother are getting older and older, and you don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm winter. How much can the two survive? It takes money to eat, to buy clothes, to repair a house, to open a shop and to do business, so I don’t want to bet on where I can get the money?” Although Nan Qiutong’s expression was serious, her tone was Very calm.

Papa Nan got angry because he was afraid that she would go astray, she understood.Parents' scolding is always for the sake of their children, and when they stop scolding, it is also when they are completely disappointed in their children, she understands.So she is not angry, even though the ones in front of her are not her biological parents, she is happy.That she or this she is not the same, anyway, they are all called Nan Qiutong, she is very calm.

Papa Nan's expression froze, and the strength on his shoulders suddenly eased.

"Oh, it's useless if it's dad..." With a sigh, how much guilt and helplessness is there?

This Nan family was defeated by him, he felt guilty!He is ashamed of the ancestors of the Nan family, and also of his children.Now that the child knows how to make money, and knows to make money for the family, what right does he have to criticize the child?Now, what qualifications does he have to educate his children?If it wasn't because he didn't know people well, how could their Nan family have ended up in such a mess?He is guilty!

"Father, I'm already 15 years old. It's time for me to take care of this family. You and mother have done enough. Let me and Tutu do the rest." Nan Qiutong smiled He looked at Papa Nan who was falling into self-blame, and Mrs. Nan who was already in tears.After thinking about it, she stood up and lay on Mrs. Nan's body. This is what a daughter should do when she is acting like a baby.

"Father, mother, it should belong to the Nan family, and the daughter will find it back. No matter who took it away, the daughter will make them repay twice as much! This Nan family will be more beautiful than before! Mother! , I can do it." Nan Qiutong's tone was calm, but there was an inexplicable determination.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I know, I believe it." Mrs. Nan held Nan Qiutong's hand, she couldn't stop her tears.

"You don't look like me at all." Papa Nan shook his head and sighed.He was just too cowardly, and it was because he was too cowardly that he let that person succeed.

"Eh? I'm my father's daughter. Who do I look like?"

"Like your grandpa."

"Oh, that's okay, anyway, they are all from my own family, just like everyone else." Nan Qiutong chuckled.

Nan Qiuyue who was standing on the side was dumbfounded.What's happening here?She originally wanted Nan Qiutong to be punished.Nan's family had strict rules, and they never let up even though they were down and down. Nan Qiutong went in and out of the gambling house. If Father Nan found out about this, he would be severely punished.It was supposed to be like this, but why did she feel it backfired?Now, the family of three seems to be closer.So what should she do now?
"You girl!" Could his biological daughter really be like someone else? "Come on, I don't care about business and money matters, you can figure it out yourself. Your mother and I are just waiting to enjoy our blessings."

"That's right." Nan Qiutong snapped his fingers and laughed, "Qiuyue, what are you still standing there for? Help parents go back to the house."

"Oh, good." That's it?This is the end?Nan Qiuyue felt that this Nan Qiutong was becoming more and more incomprehensible.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Nan Qiutu came back as soon as the Nan family couple walked a little further.

Why are you crying?

"It's all right. Have you bought everything?"

"Well, I bought everything. How can it be all right? Isn't mother crying?"
