Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

After the incident, Li Ankang stopped talking. Every morning and afternoon he would carry a table and set up a stall on the roadside as usual, watching and shouting about business.

Perhaps because he had been taught a lesson by his family, Li Ankang always stayed away from his children when he saw them again.

Li Ankang waved to them.

Several children came over hesitantly. Li Ankang put the money on the table and said, "You can take it back, but I didn't cheat you of the money. You go back and explain this to your parents clearly." He added, "Since it is hard-earned pocket money, you should cherish it." some."

When a few kids saw that the money was back, they didn't care so much. They grabbed it and ran away. Some of them might have lost their share and were chasing after them. Li Ankang didn't care about these things and concentrated on reading his script.

—

The business of his stall is not good. Firstly, words are expensive, and secondly, there are many illiterate people in the town.

Once again, Li Ankang returned home without earning a penny. His head almost hit the ground, and he looked as decadent as if he hadn't woken up in several days.

Li Yunshan felt really distressed when he saw it. He pulled a stool for him to sit down and handed him the mutton skewers.

Ding Pingshun took a bite bitterly and said distressedly, "It's too difficult to make money."

"How about you go back to school?"

Li Ankang shook his head, "Dad, I really don't like it."

Li Yunshan sighed, "Then what are you doing? You can't earn any money, so you're just wasting it like this?"

Li Ankang shook his head, "I have to think of a way." Then he stopped talking.

Li Yunshan didn't know what he was going to think of, so he just handed him food in handfuls without asking.

In the next few days, Li Ankang went out to set up a stall as usual. Less than half a month passed. The barbecue restaurant was on holiday. In the morning, when they were sleeping in, Li Ankang suddenly opened the window and stuck his head in.

Mao Xiaosui was startled by the movement, patted Li Yunshan's hand on her waist, sat up and looked at him.

Li Ankang's eyes were bright, and before Mao Xiaosui could speak, he said, "I want to borrow money."

Mao Xiaosui was a little speechless, but said, "We'll talk after dinner later."

Li Ankang agreed, closed the window and returned to the house.

Li Yunshan hugged her and lay down again, and asked, "Are you really borrowing money?"

"I'm just looking for a reason. Ankang's is his capital for starting a business, Ruyi's is her dowry. Although many people think that girls should get married when they grow up, Ruyi likes Pingshun (Extra by Ding Pingshun), It is inevitable to get married. Even if she gets married, I hope she can have her own career. As for what she plans to do after getting married, it is her own choice. I will not interfere too much. After all, the two families are familiar with each other and live smoothly. It’s also reliable and you won’t lose money to her.”

Li Yunshan: "Then you still want to borrow money? Why don't you just help them get the business done?" He added, "What if Pingshun doesn't like her showing up in public?"

Mao Xiaosui: "I believe that Ruyi is not a master who loves to work, and I also believe that Pingshun is not a pedantic person. As for borrowing money, I don't want them to make random decisions. Our family is not short of money, but two hundred taels of silver Putting it in a hospital can save a lot of people, and buying land and renting it out can also help a lot of people... We can't let them always feel that everything is taken care of by the family. If the business fails, it fails, and it's no big deal. We don't know what they can accomplish in the future. It may always stand in front of them, but they will grow up. Adults should shoulder their responsibilities as adults. If they just protect them blindly, then they will become useless if they continue like this. People cannot live without food, rice, oil, and salt in this life. Yes, then you should learn to live.”

"The poor will always work hard in this world. The rich only need to use their brains to make money. We have created the conditions for the rich, and the rest is up to them. You have to understand that they are now The hard work is to prepare for future enjoyment, so don’t be reluctant to part with it.”

Li Yunshan responded with a smile.

I baked sugar cookies in the morning, and after eating, the family sat together.

There were two small wooden boxes in front of Mao Xiaosui.

Li Ruyi blinked and didn't understand what was going on.

Mao Xiaosui stared at Li Ankang, "You have made your decision. I think you are too young. You can wait until you grow up before making your decision. Your thinking is immature now, and the decision you make may not be the right one."

"I have decided." Li Ankang looked firm.

Mao Xiaosui looked at Li Ruyi again, "Ankang has decided to start a business. What about you? Continue to help in the shop or realize your dream of being a storyteller."

Li Ruyi glanced at Li Ankang, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to pay back the money."

"Then you can help in the store." She looked at Li Ankang, "Tell me what you plan to do, and I can help you come up with ideas."

Li Ankang spoke slowly, "The store is still open in the town, but the words could have been sold elsewhere." He added, "I want to sell those things that the saleswoman once wrote, is that okay?"

Mao Xiaosui nodded. The storybook she wrote was intended to be sold before, but it was read by Li Ankang and Qin An. Now it is either thrown in the shop or on the table of Li Ankang and Li Ruyi. Later, she felt disgusted and wrote it. There are few, and most of them are retellings, written by Li Ankang.

Now that the child has decided to pursue a career, of course she wants to support it, so she said, "If I have any good ideas in the future, I will write them to you."

Li Ankang's eyes lit up, "Thank you, mother."

Mao Xiaosui said again, "What are you going to do with the shop? Only sell books?"

Li Ankang nodded.

Mao Xiaosui: "Maybe you can make some changes."

Li Ankang: "How to adapt."

Mao Xiaosui: "Make the shop a bookstore where you can read books."

Li Ankang was puzzled: "But how can we sell the book like this?"

"You can keep the latest novels for sale, and put the other novels on the shelf. Anyone who comes in to read the books will pay money. The price can't be too expensive. Fifteen to twenty coppers are the most suitable. In this way, some people who like novels will pay. I can afford it, and you can compete for money. If you agree, I can draw you the blueprints for the decoration of the shop."

Li Ankang thought for a while and agreed.

Mao Xiaosui gave him the money.

Li Ruyi was lying on the table with a tangled expression.

Li Yunshan touched her head and said, "You really don't want to try it? Don't you like it?"

Li Ankang also advised her, "You are so smart that you can definitely do it. If you really can't afford it, my brother... can help you pay it back if you make money."

Li Ruyi looked at Li Ankang and muttered, "You're not afraid."

Li Ankang nodded, "A little bit, but I want to do what I like."

Mao Xiaosui didn't rush her, he just said, "You are luckier than many people, at least you can make a choice. Your father and I were not born well. We didn't even have enough to eat when we were young. At that time, Heizi caught a rabbit and we raised it. My life got better as I kept raising it. Later I made money and built a breeding farm with all my belongings, which is why I have the good life now. Since you like it, think about how to do things well instead of not trying. "

Li Ruyi was a little tempted by what he said and nodded hesitantly.

Mao Xiaosui also pushed the money to her. There was an IOU in the wooden box, and the two children signed it this time.

Li Yunshan said, "You two can work together. One is a storyteller and the other is a storyteller. It's just right."

Li Ruyi looked like she had not recovered her senses.

Mao Xiaosui knew that she had concerns and comforted her, "It doesn't matter. You think about it first. We will discuss it together when the time comes. This is your first time doing business, so uneasiness is inevitable."

Li Ruyi nodded, "I understand."
