Chapter 700: Chapter 694: The Story of the Silver Bracelet
“Is it really that simple?” Qin Xue asked with some doubt.
“Well, what else do you think there is?” Chu Molin thought that it was not that simple, but there was no need to let his wife know about those things.
“Alright, I’ll trust you for now, Chu Molin. I really bracelet, thank you.” Qin Xue lifted her wrist to look at the silver bracelet. She always felt that there was some special meaning behind this bracelet. Since even Chu Molin, who had found it, didn’t know, she surely wouldn’t know either.
With these thoughts in mind, Qin Xue didn’t want to dwell on it any longer. Otherwise, when would she be able to sleep? She was about to take a towel to dry her hair when Chu Molin took it from her hand.
“Come sit here.” Chu Molin pointed to a stool beside him as he spoke.
Qin Xue glanced at him without saying anything and sat down. It wasn’t convenient without a hairdryer at this time, but now someone was going to help her dry her hair, which she liked most.
“Try not to wash your hair at night in the future, as it’s not good for your health. If you must wash it, do it during the day when it’ll dry faster.” Chu Molin had told her this before, but she never listened. She always liked washing her hair at night.
“I forgot during the day, so I remembered only when taking a bath at night and washed it.” Qin Xue thought about how she had been drawing sketches for the clothing factory all day and had forgotten.
Although she had come to the Imperial Capital, she still had to draw the designs for the factory. Without new designs, her factory would quickly be eliminated like others. So she couldn’t afford to relax since her main income still relied on the clothing factory and store.
However, she was unsure if her family had received the letters she had sent. She also wondered how Fang Xiu was doing, the progress of Fang Hong’s pregnancy and the wellbeing of Qin Qiu and her younger brother. There were many things to do.
“What are you thinking about so deeply?” Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue who was lost in thought, frowning slightly.
“Ah, I’m just thinking about some things,” Qin Xue replied, coming back to her senses.
“I know you’re thinking, but what are you thinking about? Is there something you can’t figure out?” Chu Molin asked.
“Mom went out last time to do something to make money, and I asked her to make egg pancakes. I don’t know how they’ve managed it so far; it’s already been half a month.” Qin Xue said.
Indeed, Nangong Shulan in the Qin family’s village had already started her business. They didn’t have enough money when they went to pay the next day. They thought about exchanging ginseng for money at a pharmacy, but the store owner took half the money and helped them with the remaining half. As it turned out, the owner’s elderly mother was in poor health and needed ginseng. They even asked if Qin’s family had any more.
Nangong Shulan wouldn’t take out all the ginseng at once. After all, ginseng wasn’t as common as a white radish. Qin Lei lied, saying that he had accidentally found some while he was in the mountains one time and that they were using it to watch their house. If it weren’t for the fact that they were short on money this time, they wouldn’t have taken it out.
The store owner understood what Qin Lei was saying. After all, ginseng was a rare commodity, something that couldn’t be sought after. So the owner didn’t say anything else and quickly went with them to complete the necessary procedures.
Qin Lei and Nangong Shulan then took more than ten days to renovate their store. However, during the renovation, the man who had warned them before returned, even bringing others to obstruct their progress. After his second visit, they never saw him again. Nangong Shulan wondered if it was because those people had a change of heart and thus didn’t return.
