It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

As soon as Weng Xiaoxiao went up to the second floor, the waiter Zhang Chao came to greet her, "Hello, young master, are you here to deliver a book today?"

"Hello, Brother Zhang. It's time to collect your commission. Is Manager Liu here?"

"Yes, yes, I'll call someone for you right away. The young master's books are selling very well, let me congratulate you first." This is a little god of wealth, we must take good care of him.

"Really? Thank you." Weng Xiaoxiao smiled and bowed in return, feeling relieved.

"Young Master, please come in. The shopkeeper is waiting for you in the accounting office."

Weng Xiaoxiao agreed and went to the next room.

"Mr. Weng, let's take a look at the performance of your book. It has been on the market for 20 days and 400 copies have been sold. The next batch is already being printed. This is the commission for the first batch, a total of 20 taels. You can sign here and you can receive it."

That means you can earn fifty coins for each book you sell. This business is really good! Weng Xiaoxiao smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits, as if she had a pile of silver in front of her.

However, Weng Xiaoxiao overlooked where this was. Wangyuezhai was the top bookstore in Beijing. All the storybooks were printed in hardcover editions and sold to wealthy people. Naturally, the price would not be low, as they could earn more.

Weng Xiaoxiao signed his name in a casual manner, happily took the two big ingots and expressed his gratitude.

"Young Master Weng, if you write another good book, you must bring it to the store. We only sell high-quality books here. If the books are good, we can all make money together."

"Of course, of course. I will never forget the shopkeeper's help. Cooperation is a win-win situation, a win-win situation." Weng Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile. Where else could she find such a high commission? This was already the best way out.

"Young Master, you have more than one book for sale. How about this? You can come and settle once at the end of each month. You don't have to settle separately. It's much easier."

Weng Xiaoxiao hurriedly thanked the shopkeeper for his care.

......

Putting the two gold ingots into her sleeve pocket and holding her cuffs tightly, Weng Xiaoxiao walked in fear all the way, fearing that someone would covet the huge sum of money. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she got home.

After more than a month of living here, she still hasn't had any meat, and she's craving for it. She needs to buy meat, eggs, rice, and flour.

He carefully placed the two gold ingots into the jar under the bed, pressed the lid tightly, and pushed it in again and again until he could no longer see the jar when he stood in the room.

Weng Xiaoxiao went into the kitchen and poured a bowl of boiled water. She fed Mrs. Weng some first, then took the coin bag and went to the vegetable market.

She missed her mother's braised pork, braised spareribs, and braised pork elbows... but she couldn't make any of them...

However, if she follows the lazy stewing method her mother taught her, the result should not be too bad.

After looking at the meat stall for a long time, she wanted to buy spare ribs, but finally had to give up because the spare ribs now were really "bones" and were picked cleanly. She only wanted to eat meat today.

I chose a piece of pork belly, which weighed more than three pounds, and asked for a piece of pork fat. I went back to refine the oil residue because the oil tank at home was already empty.

"It's one hundred and twenty-three cents in total. Give me one hundred and twenty."

"Uncle, please give me two of those big bones." Weng Xiaoxiao said, pointing at the two big bones.

"Okay, I'll give it to you." As he said that, he wrapped it up with lotus leaves.

Weng Xiaoxiao reached her hand into her sleeve, but felt nothing. She thought to herself, "Oh no!" Sure enough, when she looked at her sleeve again, there was a big hole there.

My purse was still there when I bought onions and ginger just now, but it was gone in the blink of an eye after just a few steps?

When the butcher saw Weng Xiaoxiao's expression, he understood that his customer had been robbed and his big business was gone.

Fortunately, I put the big money back home before going out to buy groceries. If I had lost the twenty taels, it would have been a fatal matter.

......

"Brother, give it back. You stole the purse of our benefactor, the brother who gave me the cake and copper coins last time."

"Are you sure you're not seeing things?" Debao rubbed his nose. He was really reluctant to hand over the money he had worked so hard to get.

Kang Bao nodded vigorously, "I must be right, I just didn't recognize it at first."

"Kangbao, there are more than a hundred copper coins in this purse. With this money, we can buy an old cotton-padded jacket. Otherwise, how can we survive this winter? Don't worry. I will repay him sooner or later after spending this money. I am not a man without loyalty and conscience. But if you don't change your cotton-padded jacket, you will freeze to death..."

"Brother," Kang Bao only called out and couldn't say anything else. They didn't want to steal to make a living, but they couldn't live without stealing.

"How are you going to repay this favor?"

The brother and sister turned around vigilantly and looked at Weng Xiaoxiao who was walking over.

Kang Bao took a quick step forward and knelt down in front of Weng Xiaoxiao, "Brother, I'm sorry, stealing is definitely wrong. We, we have no other choice..."

Debao couldn't bear to see his sister like this, so he pulled her up and knelt down himself, "My brother, all the mistakes are my fault. Since I just said I owe you a favor, I can't take it back. My sister really needs a cotton coat, can I do something for you to pay off my debt?"

After hearing the conversation between the brother and sister, Weng Xiaoxiao was no longer angry, but the method of stealing money was really not decent. If she used such excuses to forgive herself every time, she would continue to make mistakes.

Weng Xiaoxiao said with a sullen face, "You can say that you want to pay back the debt, which means you still have a conscience and can be saved. You have to promise me that you won't steal again, can you do it? If it were someone else, not to mention your sister's cotton-padded jacket, even your sister might not be saved. You can run away, but what about your sister? Can she run away?"

The brother and sister looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.

"Take this money and buy some old clothes to keep warm. Where are your family members?"

Debao smiled bitterly, "We came here to escape famine, our parents are long gone."

At least her sick mother left some money for the family, so she didn't starve. She couldn't afford to support someone for free, so Weng Xiaoxiao thought about it and said, "Help me sell candied dates in the future. The more you work, the more you earn. I'll give you one penny for each bag you sell. How about that?"

"Yes, I am willing to do something serious. We will lend you the money for buying clothes, and we will deduct it from your salary in the future."

Weng Xiaoxiao was willing to help because she was moved by the love between the two siblings. They deserved help. If she met a heartless and ruthless person, she would not have so much bad intentions.
