Chapter 924: Let’s See Who Gave You the Courage to Take Advantage of Me
Previously, the family’s savings were greatly depleted on her husband’s medical treatment and funeral, leaving very little behind. Luo Qiao felt pity for the child and thought it better to teach someone to fish than to simply hand them a fish.
So she suggested, "Sister-in-law, your cooking is good, and your house is at the entrance to the alley. Why not open a door to the street on the outermost room and sell some simple food? That could support the two of you."
Hu Mingfang looked at Luo Qiao somewhat nervously, "Me, can I really do it?"
Rong Daniang also smiled, "There are many people doing business on the street these days, and the house is your own. There’s no need to pay rent. As long as the food is tasty, the business should be fine."
Upon hearing this, Hu Mingfang’s eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again as she said hesitantly, "I don’t know anything about running a business and I don’t have the capital right now. I’m afraid it won’t work."
Luo Qiao encouraged her, "You know what happened to your daughter today. Do you really want to see her bullied like this?"
Hu Mingfang, looking at her daughter who had lost a lot of weight, gritted her teeth, "You’re right. Now that the head of the family is gone, if I don’t hold up this household, I shudder to think... For the sake of my daughter’s well-being, I have to give it my all."
That day, Luo Qiao lent her a hundred yuan and even let her take vegetables from her home. Worrying about her self-esteem, Luo Qiao sold them to her at market prices, which saved her time and, since they couldn’t finish all the vegetables from the backyard themselves, it didn’t make a difference.
