Chapter 190 A Concubine is Better than a Mistress (8)_1
San Ya believed that her eldest sister must have come up with another method. Next spring, they needed to renovate the house, and they didn’t have enough silver coins, but she was certain her sister would figure something out. These calculations were probably the solution her sister had thought of!
Pei Qin found Zou Xing, saying she had a job for his older brother. Old Man Zou was a blacksmith with apprentices, and he had enough hands to make wheelbarrows and handcarts, so she wanted to ask Zou Fu for help in fitting all the abacuses she bought with the Clearing Devices.
Zou Xing was also rushing to finish making skateboards, wheelbarrows, and handcarts, not wanting others to steal his techniques. He had to put in extra effort and make more. He couldn’t help her himself, so he agreed and went home to find his older brother.
Zou Fu didn’t think the Clearing Device she wanted was difficult to make, as the abacuses were already finished products. He said with a push, he could finish them before the New Year.
Pei Qin paid one copper money as a deposit, letting Zou Fu take away all the abacuses from her house.
In a few days, the Fang family’s people came looking. With the New Year approaching, and after having driven her and her brother out, Grandma Fang almost wished death upon the entire Pei family. Seeing their shabby house, she still advised them to spend the New Year with the Fang family.
Pei Qin straightforwardly said she was busy, as she planned to send Pei Wendong to school after the New Year and they would only stay in their current house until spring, when they would start building a new one.
Grandma Fang didn’t expect her to be so stubborn and couldn’t persuade her, so she just warned her earnestly and left with Lady Yu.
