Chapter 138 - 128: Half a Beat Behind_3
Before long, Huang Tie, driving an ox cart, arrived here from the entrance of that large courtyard, with Qian Manchuan already on board, along with eight large baskets filled with pastries. He would ride with Huang Tie to sell pastries in the county town every day and return to the village in the afternoon, either on Huang Tie’s cart or Uncle Wu’s.
The pastries of the Old Brothers of the Qian were doing exceptionally well in the county town and were not affected by the smear campaign of that riffraff; the eight baskets of pastries would generally be sold out in just half a day. The Brothers of Qian Family had already agreed that, once they made more money, they would rent a shop in the county town to sell their goods.
The younger siblings got onto the cart, and Qian Hua, carrying two baskets filled with sausages and another with pastries, placed them on the cart as well.
Qian Manchuan said to Qian Yixiu, "Duo Duo caught a chill last night and woke up with a bit of a fever this morning, so he can’t go to the county town."
Poor little buddy Duo Duo was rather unlucky; every time he was set to go to the county town, something would come up.
When the ox cart reached the entrance of Qian’s Main Courtyard, Old woman Qian, dressed in a cotton robe, was already being supported by Auntie Lu, waiting at the entrance of the large courtyard.
Qian Yeejin alighted from the cart to help Old woman Qian onto it and also reminded her to be careful on the road and to return home early.
