Chapter 276: Bowing for a Bowl of Rice
And such a brother made Qin Xiang Nuan feel very proud, very proud. Her brother depended on his genuine talents and knowledge, not his sister’s help. Unlike Qin Pengfei, no matter how high school or university he attended, he remained mediocre. Even in the future, he’d still need his brother-in-law just to get ahead.
She believed that, given the opportunity, her brother would surely soar like a dragon, using his own hands and feet to strive for a splendid future.
She took out the Spring Festival couplets she had written, even though she had a headache thinking about these. Bringing them home to sell was one option, but the New Year was already short on time, and her brother’s military academy vacation lasted only a few days. She didn’t want her brother’s hard-earned holiday to be spent selling couplets with her. Yet, not selling them would mean giving up money.
Don’t blame her for being greedy; she actually was quite money-minded. After all, she had spent a long time perfecting these writings, which were the fruits of her labor. They could be sold for a lot of money - whether it’s 100 to 200 yuan or a thousand, it was all money.
"How about it, you want to sell these?" Jian Zhiqing picked up a pair of couplets, "Did you write this?" He held the couplet at a distance. The calligraphy was indeed impressive. Although his artistic skills were modest, he possessed some understanding, and Qin Xiang Nuan’s calligraphy rivaled those of the great masters.
"Yes," Qin Xiang Nuan rolled up the couplets one by one, "I’ve been selling these since I was a child. It’s how I practiced my calligraphy," Although not entirely true, she had indeed learned calligraphy from the system and began to devise ways to make money. It seemed like she had always been dealing with money from her childhood. But then, who doesn’t deal with money in their lifetime?
She sat up, clutching a pile of couplets, "These won’t sell well this year. I’m going home for the New Year, so I’m not sure what to do now. Many of these are seasonal, and they won’t sell next year."
