Chapter 41: Preparing to Make Money
"Not really," Qin Xiangnuan wrinkled her little nose and then climbed onto the hospital bed to help her brother Qin Xiangyang get dressed, "Brother, don’t worry, we can make money. Once you get well, Nuannuan will take you to make money. In the future, Nuannuan will treat you to delicious food, dress you in nice clothes, and even send you to school. How about we build a big house to live in then?"
"Okay, I’ll wait for Nuannuan to take me to make big money," Qin Xiangyang scratched his sister’s head with a chuckle, not sure if he was finding joy amidst the hardship.
"Are you hungry, Brother?" Qin Xiangnuan knew Qin Xiangyang didn’t believe in her, but it didn’t matter. She wouldn’t argue or explain. When they truly started making money, her brother would believe.
"I really am hungry," Qin Xiangyang checked his stomach, wondering how he could get so hungry after sleeping.
"I’ll go get some food," Qin Xiangnuan hurried downstairs and bought two large steamed buns, a large bowl of egg soup, and a big serving of ribs for less than 50 cents. They hadn’t eaten meat in a long time. Since her brother was sick, he needed to eat well—to recover quickly.
Seeing so much food, especially the ribs, Qin Xiangyang was taken aback.
"Sister, isn’t this expensive?"
"Just eat," Qin Xiangnuan picked up a rib and stuffed it into Qin Xiangyang’s mouth, urging him to eat without talking.
"Mmm..." It took Qin Xiangyang a while to swallow the rib, savoring the meaty flavor so intensely he almost bit his own tongue off.
