Chapter 278: That’s a Pig
"She’s returning to her hometown and wrote so many in advance, asking us to help sell them on consignment. She proposed a fifty-fifty split. I counted them to see how many there were and recorded it in the books. When the child comes over, we’ll give her the money."
Teacher Wang’s spouse was surprised upon hearing this. She lowered her head and glanced at the clothes her son was wearing. Carrying him out, people couldn’t help but compliment how handsome the boy looked and how nice his clothes were; many even asked where the clothes were from.
How did that young girl grow up, mastering so many skills?
She hastily laid the sleeping child on the bed to one side, then came over to join Teacher Wang in counting,
The couple was very careful, not wanting to damage a single piece. The Spring Festival couplets were all rolled up, ten rolls together, each batch written the same yet in different styles of handwriting.
"Did a little girl really write these?" Teacher Wang’s spouse found it hard to believe that they came from a young girl, as the handwriting was so imposing, almost like it belonged to an elderly calligrapher.
"It should be," Teacher Wang himself wasn’t sure either. Qin Xiangnuan didn’t seem the type to lie, but he had indeed never seen her write in large script, so he really didn’t know if she was the one who wrote them. Anyway, whether she did or didn’t, they would sell these first.
He calculated the days; there were somewhat too many Spring Festival couplets, so he planned to start selling them sooner. Lately, he had been scouting locations to secure a good spot, selling each piece for one yuan. By his calculations, he could make around two thousand yuan, which was equivalent to his annual salary.
With that money, the household could get by for a while and even send some back to his ancestral home.
