When she was a child, Xueya often had feelings of envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Qin Xiaoxiao. Now that she has grown up, she is very satisfied with her current life, and her mentality has gradually become peaceful. She is used to fighting with Qin Xiaoxiao, and she couldn't hold it back for a while.

That’s all.

Thinking of what she just heard from her grandma, she couldn't help but ask: "Princess Protector's family has a great business, why do you have to work so hard to buy a hill and plant jujube trees?"

Qin Xiaoxiao thought about it and felt that he could reveal something to her, so he said: "I do this for other important purposes, not to make money."

Xueya is not someone who likes to inquire randomly. After hearing what she said, she did not ask further questions. She hesitated and said, "Do you want someone to form a partnership? I have some money and don't know what to do. Why don't you count me in and let's do it together?"

!”

This idea was not a whim. She had some money on hand, and as long as she didn't spend it lavishly, it would be enough for the couple and their children to live comfortably, but she didn't want to sit back and have nothing.

She had considered other ways to make money, but the risks were too great or the profits were meager. After weighing the considerations, she still couldn't decide what to do. As soon as she found out that Qin Xiaoxiao was going to buy a hill to plant jujube trees, she thought of a partnership.

idea.

She knew very well that whatever Qin Xiaoxiao, her cousin, wanted to do, there was nothing that would fail. By partnering with her, she would definitely be taking advantage of herself, so now she could only give it a try shamelessly.

"Sister Xueya, you, are you serious?" Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe that her cousin offered to partner with her. The look in her eyes became a little strange.

"How can I deceive you about this kind of thing? If you are willing, let's make a contract now. If you don't want to, forget it. I'm not a shameless person." Xue Ya felt uncomfortable when she saw her, and her tone became less friendly.

Qin Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. She had never thought of finding someone to form a partnership before, and she had enough money on hand. There would be no shortage of people to help her manage the Zaoyuan in the future. What she wanted was absolute control over the entire Zaoyuan.

.

With one more partner, she won't have the final say in Zaoyuan's affairs alone. But Sister Xueya is not an outsider, and refusing her to join the partnership would be too hurtful.

All kinds of thoughts were fleeting, Qin Xiaoxiao had an idea in her mind, and said seriously: "Sister Xueya, there is no problem with the partnership, but I have to say something ugly before, I am not doing this to make money, and no one will care whether I lose or make money in the future.

I know, I hope you can think it through."

When Xue Ya heard this, she hesitated.

She only has so much money on hand, and if she loses the money, the child in her belly will also have to suffer. If she wants to do something to make money in the future, she may not even be able to come up with the capital.

But what if she makes a profit? If she makes a profit, her child won’t have to worry about it for the rest of his life.

After thinking about it, it was her trust in Qin Xiaoxiao that prevailed. She gritted her teeth and said, "If I join the gang, I will not regret it whether I make a loss or gain in the future!"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, not surprised by her decision, and expressed her request: "As for the Zaoyuan, you can contribute money and effort. When the jujube trees bear fruit, I will decide how to sell them and where to sell them."

It’s up to you, you can’t interfere.”

Xueya frowned and asked, "What if you make a mistake in your decision and something that should have been profitable turns out to be a loss for you, do I have to hold my nose and admit it?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Sister Xueya, no one in this world can guarantee that they will not make mistakes, right?"

When Xueya heard this, she knew that she had said something stupid. She waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, you can make the decision. This way I can save some worries."

The two sisters reached a consensus and immediately called Mr. Qin and others to bear witness.

No one expected that the two of them would form a partnership. After asking a few simple questions, they pressed their respective fingerprints on the deed and let them fiddle with it.

According to the proportion of money contributed, after Zaoyuan makes a profit, the profit will be 19%. Qin Xiaoxiao accounts for 9% and Xueya accounts for 1%. To put it into detail, it is Xueya who takes advantage because the initial investment of Zaoyuan is far more than 3,000 yuan.

Two, the silver she could afford was only three hundred taels.

Xueya kept her share of the contract and happily went home to get the money.

An An saw it and asked, "What are you doing with so much money at once?"

Xueya gave him the contract and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao and I jointly bought a hilltop to plant jujube trees, and all the money will be invested."

An An didn't know much about literacy, so she opened the contract and glanced at it, her expression clearly showing disapproval: "In the past two years, more and more people have been planting jujube trees. Maybe the price will come down soon. You invested so much money all at once."

It’s too risky. And each family will not have more than two surviving jujube trees. Xiaoxiao will no longer be a member of the Qin family after she gets married. Can she plant a jujube garden?"

Xueya understood his thoughts and explained patiently: "Xiaoxiao is married, but her name is still on our Qin family's genealogy, and she is still a member of the Qin family. She will definitely be able to plant a jujube garden.

You don’t have to worry about the price, Xiaoxiao is not stupid, he must have found a good market before he dares to do this. Just watch it, you will definitely not lose money.”

An An couldn't figure out where she got her confidence from, and advised: "Our family can't afford to suffer a loss with this little money. Even if you don't think about our future, you still have to think about the child in your belly. If you lose, you are willing to let it suffer."

day?"

Xueya touched her swollen belly and said softly: "It is for the sake of the child that I decided to do this. Otherwise, if we keep these hundreds of taels of silver, we will be sitting on nothing sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, An An tried to persuade her: "Let's use these hundreds of taels of silver to buy more fields. We will definitely not be hungry in the future. If you can't bear the hardship of farming, let's rent a shop in the city and make a small living.

It won’t be any worse, it’s much safer than if you take it as a partnership.”

Xueya frowned, a little impatient: "You don't believe me so much? Even grandpa doesn't object, I believe Xiaoxiao can do this, why do you keep saying these depressing words?"

An An was stunned by the question, and suddenly realized that she had decided on this matter without consulting him, and now it was impossible for her to listen to her own advice, so she was silent for a while.

Seeing this, Xue Ya felt very uncomfortable, and her tone softened: "Brother An, you know I'm not an impulsive person, can you trust me this time?"

After all, An An didn't want to argue with her and hurt the relationship between the couple, so she twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Well, please send the money quickly."

Xueya knew that he still disagreed in her heart, but she couldn't agree with what he said. She stood up and said, "Wait for me to come back. We will go to the village chief's house later and ask about buying wasteland."

An An nodded, indicating that he understood.

Qin Xiaoxiao, who was bitten by Heitan's skirt and dragged up the mountain, didn't know that the couple had a conflict for the first time over the partnership. She looked at the big cat with its butt raised to show its strength, and subconsciously kicked it with her toes.

It's an indescribable place.

"Meow-" Heitan flicked his long tail, clamped his buttocks hard, turned his head and meowed at her, as if scolding her for this obscene behavior.

Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to know if it would turn against her if she poked it a few more times. She couldn't help but squat down and lift its tail, wanting to pick up the stick and give it a try.

"Meow!" Heitan seemed to know her purpose and swung his tail vigorously, trying to break away from the control of this wretched woman.

Rhubarb ran over to join in the fun, lowered his head to sniff its butt, and was curious as to why the owner was interested in his friend's butt.

"Don't be so stingy, I promise I won't hurt you." Qin Xiaoxiao grabbed its tail and tried to reason with it.

Jing Heng couldn't say anything, he reached out and grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her up: "Don't make trouble."

Qin Xiaoxiao let go of his hand and said, "I'm just teasing it. How could I do such a thing."

Jing Heng looked at her quietly and said nothing.

Qin Xiaoxiao was still not thick-skinned enough, and finally gave up exploring the indescribable parts of Heitan, holding his hand and walking slowly up the mountain: "Brother Li, where do you think it is more suitable to buy a mountain top?"

Jing Heng said: "You can buy wherever you want."

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the endless green hills in front of him, pointed to a few low hills not far away and said, "That's a good place. There is a small stream flowing through it. It's easy to get water."

Jing Heng has been there before and knows the situation there: "It's very good, but haven't you thought about buying it near the capital? Xingyue Lake is very suitable."

Qin Xiao looked at him with a smile and asked with a smile: "Brother Li, are you afraid that if you buy it here at Shantou, I will often run home, so you encourage me to buy it at Shantou in Xingyue Lake?"

Jing Heng did not deny it: "Xingyue Lake is close to the capital, making it easier for homeless women to find it. If the sea trade goes smoothly, your dried dates will also have someone to know the goods. I'm afraid a few hills are not enough. You can also buy hills elsewhere.

Then plant.”

This idea coincided with Qin Xiaoxiao's, and he nodded repeatedly: "You said it makes sense. There are many people traveling from north to south in the capital. The news that Zaoyuan only accepts homeless women can be spread in the shortest time.

."

Therefore, it is indeed more appropriate to build the first jujube garden near the capital. The old jujube trees can only cut branches every year. Otherwise, she would have to spend more money and hire more labor. Not only could the jujube garden be built as quickly as possible, but also

The jujube garden can be built elsewhere quickly.

Now she can only do it step by step. It is a big deal to cultivate the thousands of jujube saplings she wants first.

The two of them were discussing and walking, and unknowingly arrived at Chubby's territory.

These big cats haven't seen Qin Xiaoxiao in a month. They would have gone to Qin's house to look for her last night. But with Jingheng, a two-legged beast that makes them scared, they don't dare to do this.

.

At this moment, they smelled Qin Xiaoxiao's breath, and they walked around irritably one by one, whining, but never dared to get close.

If anyone could understand their calls, they would know that they are insulting people.

"Chubby, come here quickly." Qin Xiaoxiao discovered the black wild raccoons, let go of Jing Heng's hand and ran over quickly. What she didn't expect was that the first person to greet her was not Chubby, but a just-month-old

, the little milk civet who is still unsteady on his feet.

"Wow!" Qin Xiaoxiao was so happy that she bent down to pick up the adorable little milk civet and couldn't help but rub it on its plush head.

She has hugged too many little milk civets, but every time she sees such a milk dumpling, she still can't help but love it so much that she always hugs and teases it for a long time.

"Meow~" The little milk cat felt dizzy from being rubbed, and made a soft cry involuntarily, obviously enjoying such a caress.

"It's so fun to hug it!" Qin Xiaoxiao teased it for a while, then stuffed the little milk civet into Jingheng's arms, letting him experience the cuteness of the little guy.

Feeling the softness in his arms, Jing Heng stiffened and subconsciously reached out to catch it.

"Miwu~" The little milk civet opened its big moist eyes, shook its round little head, and sniffed around on his chest, not afraid of him at all.

For such a small milk dumpling, I don’t know what to be afraid of. Just like Qin Xiaoxiao back then, she was not afraid of cats when drinking milk.

On the other hand, the black raccoon boy who gave birth to the baby was very anxious, fearing that Jing Heng would go crazy and hurt his child, so he kept walking around and screaming very urgently.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly picked up the little milk civet and returned it to it. He complained at the same time: "Brother Li, you must have been the natural enemy of the black civet in your previous life!"

Jing Heng glanced at the big cats who dared not approach, then took her hand and continued walking into the mountains: "Then you must have been a little mouse in your last life."

"Impossible, don't talk nonsense!" Qin Xiaoxiao jumped up and down anxiously, how could she admit that she was a smelly and dirty rat, even though she had doubted it before.
