Chapter 17: Secret Shopping
One could only say, Xiang Nuan and her brother were simply dealt a bad hand to be born as Qin Guo Hua’s children.
"Brother, do you have any money?" Qin Xiang Nuan asked him when Qin Xiang Yang came back from the field at noon.
Actually, she vaguely remembered that her brother did have some money. In her past life, when her brother was gravely ill and nearly dying, he had given her a small pouch, which was full of money that he had earned bit by bit by doing odd jobs for other families in his spare time.
"Do you need money? Wait, brother will get it for you," Qin Xiang Yang said without hesitation as he opened a cabinet and fumbled around inside for a while before pulling out a small cloth pouch. It was indeed the very same one from her past life, now looking somewhat old and dirty.
He opened the cloth bag, revealing a number of one-cent and one-fen coins inside. In these current times, they still used those several-cent banknotes, so she dumped all the coins onto the fire pit, counting them one by one.
There was more than five yuan in total.
"Nuannuan, do you want to buy something to eat?" Qin Xiang Nuan stroked her younger sister’s little cheek. "Brother will give you this money, but remember, don’t let the stepmother and the others find out. They will snatch it away."
Qin Xiang Nuan carefully wrapped the money back up and clutched it to her chest, then promised fervently.
"Brother, don’t worry, I won’t let anyone know. This is ours, not someone else’s."
