Chapter 7 The Good Way
She knew she couldn't refuse Fang Ping's kindness.
She ate so little in the morning, just two small pieces of multigrain pancakes, and the porridge was just a bowl of water. She was only 50-60% full. Not to mention the physical work she would have to do later, she simply wouldn't be able to survive the afternoon.
So Yuanman took half a piece of white steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth and ate it.
She also wanted to keep it for her frail brother.
But every time after collecting the herbs and selling them back, Ge Shi would occasionally have to search him. If he didn't eat them now, if they were found out at night, he would cause trouble again.
Fang Ping saw Yuan Man thanking her seriously, and scratched her face in embarrassment, "Why are you so polite? Which of us is following the other?"
That's called a bold man, more domineering than a man.
Yuanman knew that her family was living a good life, so she dared to accept her things. However, she accepted the favor and would definitely pay it back twice as much in the future.
Watching Yuanman finish a small piece of steamed buns, Fang Ping enjoyed the fun of feeding him, and then she happily pulled Yuanman up the mountain.
He didn't stop talking all the way.
she said.
"Aman, my mother said that from now on, I only have to pay her half of the money for selling herbal medicines, and she asked me to keep the other half for myself. It would be great if you could keep it for yourself like me..."
she said again.
"But it doesn't matter. I'll save more. When I go to town next time, I'll ask my mother to take me with her. The candy in the village is nothing, but the sugar flower cake in the town is so delicious! Wait until then.
I’ll buy it and let’s eat together..."
She also said.
"Aman, I want to earn a lot of money. Then we will go to the town to buy a big house. Let's live together and stay away from your grandma. Then we can keep talking a lot.
Do you think it’s okay?”
Yuanman couldn't help but glance at the person beside her. She really wanted to know the expression of the person who said such innocent words at this time.
But when she looked at Fang Pingjing with eyes filled with endless expectations for the future, she was a little shocked.
Then she heard herself say, "Okay."
It is said that watering the flowers and watering the roots will make people feel at ease.
She thought she recognized such a simple and kind friend.
What followed was a fleeting thought.
etc.
Yuanman flashed past Fang Ping's words just now, as if some idea flashed across his mind.
Buy a house...live together...
Buy candy bars...eat them together...
Sell herbal medicine... pay half...
"That's right!! This is it!!"
Yuanman said in surprise. She thought, she had come up with a good idea!
Fang Ping was startled by Yuan Man's movement, then she asked excitedly with curiosity in her eyes: "What about this and that?"
Yuanman looked at Fang Ping, and then suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said: "A Ping, can you do me a favor?"
Fang Ping didn't think so, she patted her chest, raised her chin and said, "Of course, let alone one, a hundred of them are no problem!"
Fang Ping only knew how to count to one hundred, Yuanman thought, what she actually meant was that she could count as many as she wanted.
Yuanman just smiled, then waved to Fang Ping, gesturing for her to come over.
Fang Ping did as he was told.
The two little girls touched each other and whispered together.
Yuan Man only whispered: "I want to pick more herbs in the afternoon. Then you can help me sell the money and put it in your place to save for me."
Fang Ping was tickled by Yuan Man and giggled twice, but she knew the situation at Yuan Man's family. After hearing this, her eyes lit up and she praised: "Aman, you are so smart, how did you come up with this?"
Fazi’s hahaha!!”
She was really happy for Yuanman, and she was also happy that Yuanman trusted her and trusted her with his money.
Fang Ping became more and more happy as she thought about it, and couldn't help but said: "This is really a good idea! Don't worry, Aman, I asked my father to make a small box for me in the morning, the kind with a lock! I'll keep it for you to keep
alright!"
Yuan Man was also happy for this, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him again.
Of course, Fang Ping made it clear that this was not necessary for their relationship, and they were not allowed to talk about it next time.
Yuanman was just secretly grateful to this new friend who was twelve years younger than him.
What I have to say is that Fang Ping is indeed a trustworthy person.
In addition, her mother told her to save some money, so she had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
As for selling them together, the price is definitely not that precise and can only be roughly estimated, but it is better to give it to Fang Ping, who often helps her, than to pay that old witch.
So Yuanman worked harder and harder this afternoon.
Fang Ping seemed to be stimulated by being able to save the money from selling herbal medicines, so she worked very hard.
The two of them dug while walking, and unknowingly they walked a long way away from the large army. When there was no one around, Yuanman gave one-third of the herbs to Fang Ping.
The amount given to Fang Ping was probably a little more than one-third of hers.
Yuanman told her to sell the herbs first, and after selling the herbs, he would give her a quarter of the price to save.
Fang Ping saw that Yuanman could understand the number with a simple gesture.
Yuanman gave her a handful of herbal medicines, which was one-third of her average, which added up to four portions of herbal medicines. When the time comes, the money will be exchanged and then divided into four equal parts, and a separate portion of silver will be left for Yuanman.
.
Seven-year-old Fang Ping was quite happy after understanding. She agreed happily and went back first.
Their herbal medicines are all sold to a man in the village who acts as an intermediary.
This man was kind-hearted, and it was with his help that I could save a penny or two from time to time.
But Yuanman wanted to be careful, so it was better to let Fang Ping go to the hospital.
Just because the quantity of herbs sold was small and the difference was just a tiny bit, the man could still help her. He would understate the actual selling price by one or two cents, and then give her enough, so she could keep the one or two cents secretly.
But if there are too many, it will easily attract attention. If others see it, they can estimate the price.
Ge Shi must also be able to find out how much money her herbal medicines sold for.
So I can only go to trouble and let Fang Ping do it for me.
In order to avoid suspicion, Yuanman had to wait for a while before going back.
It wasn't too early at this time. It gets dark early in winter, so it should probably be around three in the afternoon.
It's almost time for dinner at home.
Yuanman planned to go back two more steps.
The walk here is a bit deep, and there is no one next to me at this time.
I'm not too afraid of these Yuanman.
I also saw a dilapidated wooden house in the distance.
There is not much left of the thatched roof above and it is a mess, while the wooden house below is also covered with spider webs and broken boards.
This house is still a scary house with a story in its original memory.
It is said that the original owner was an outsider and lived here for several years, making a living by hunting and not interacting with many people.
But because he would trade for food in the village, people recognized him.
But one day, he died tragically in the mountains. Not only was his body disemboweled, but his whole body was cut open. His body was completely gone, and it was simply unsightly.
Everyone who saw it was frightened for a long time before they recovered.
