CHAPTER 117: CHAPTER 117: IN MY FAMILY, EVERYTHING IS FOR THE DOGS

At her best in business, Beisitian could barely earn a thin income, typically just breaking even, so she had no talent in this area.

Therefore, she never thought about using money to do business. However, she came up with an idea that if she had money, she could find someone skilled in business to invest, achieving the purpose of making money.

In the art of emperors, it’s about appointing the capable. If managed well, the country is peaceful and prosperous.

When it comes to making money, Beisitian only needs to satisfy both parties in terms of benefits, then she can find a partner, which is relatively simpler.

There’s no rush for this at the moment. Beisitian doesn’t have any money right now, so when Mrs. Qin asked her to manage the household, she did not refuse.

Since she’s managing the household, she might as well gather all the money together.

Beisitian was quite indifferent to money. In her past life, the reason she went into business was merely to allow her and her master to live more freely and happily since her master rarely treated wealthy people later on due to his peculiarities.

The foundation of the Mystic Doctor lies in the Xuan Talisman, which relies entirely on spirit, but the Mystic Doctor’s spirit isn’t unlimited, so they need to frequently consume items that nurture spirit and energy. Most of the things that catch the Mystic Doctor’s eye are quite expensive.

Under her master’s influence, Beisitian had a broader mind than most people; money was just something to make do with, which is why she thought of leaving behind all the money before leaving.

After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she still looked as if she wanted to say more but ended up sighing and saying nothing in the end.

Beisitian didn’t ask further. If Mrs. Qin felt like she should say, she would naturally say it.

Beisitian went out with the sheep and saw Du Chunmei standing under the tree waiting for her after crossing the bridge. Her brows furrowed slightly, evidently, this person would not stop until she achieved her goal!

Beisitian didn’t like people who were insatiable.

"Tian Tian, look what your aunt bought for you?" Du Chunmei came over with two plastic bags, smiling broadly.

Seeing Beisitian looking at her without speaking, her little face tight like ice, Du Chunmei cursed inwardly.

"Auntie bought you lots of pastries, these are pastries from Qingzhou City’s old pastry shop, they’re so delicious. This bag alone costs five or six bucks! And look at this, this butterfly clip, it’s a trendy clip in the city, all the little girls love to wear it, this one alone costs several bucks!" Du Chunmei said while categorically taking things out.

Beisitian had a butterfly clip, bought for Liu Chunyu, yet to be given. Now she realized she could give it away. She had bought that clip for one kuai, and Du Chunmei claimed it was worth several bucks, indicating how much those so-called five or six kuai pastries would be worth.

Du Chunmei shook the butterfly clip in her hand, causing the wings to flutter as if dancing.

Seeing the butterfly clip, Beisitian instantly knew it wasn’t new; she didn’t even need to think to know that it was something Beisisi had worn and discarded, now used to fool her!

As for the pastries, through the thin plastic bag, Beisitian saw "Nanting House" written in red, indicating they were pastries from Nanting House in Qingzhou Town, costing at most a little over one kuai, definitely not above two, certainly not from Qingzhou City.

Du Chunmei was taking advantage of her never having been to town.

"Since it’s the thought that counts, I’ll accept it." Beisitian took the bag with pastries and glanced at the butterfly hairpin, "I can’t get used to second-hand things."

Du Chunmei’s smile froze, nearly unable to keep it from falling apart, this damn girl, giving you things and you still have all these complaints!

What a useless thing, with just a glance at your shabby clothes, it’s clear you’re not living well with your husband’s family. Given a bag of pastries, you accept immediately, greedy thing!

Du Chunmei maintained a smile while cursing internally, but since the things were accepted, it made it easier for her to speak her piece next.

"Tian Tian, although you’re not my biological niece, I raised you after all..."

"Come Zhuangzhuang."

Du Chunmei was just about to inject some emotion and say something sentimental when Beisitian called out sharply, interrupting her. She then saw Beisitian throw the pastries she bought to a dog, eyes widening instantly.

"You little brat, what are you doing! Those pastries cost one buck eight!" Du Chunmei was so flustered she blurted out the truth in a fit of rage.

After speaking, she felt a bit awkward, but Beisitian seemed to have known this all along, showing no surprise as she poured all the pastries onto the ground, saying, "My dog loves Nanting House pastries, buy more next time."

Du Chunmei was so infuriated she nearly passed out. You use what I gave you to feed your dog and still ask me to buy more!

Beisitian turned to see Du Chunmei’s face was livid with anger and asked in puzzlement, "What, things are tough in the city? This kind of one or two kuai stuff, we give to Zhuangzhuang as snacks."

Seeing her expression of ’you guys don’t take this as something good,’ Du Chunmei felt suffocated. Since moving to the city, she had been looked down on everywhere, always called the country bumpkin. Back in the countryside, seeing these hicks allowed her to pride herself as a city dweller, regaining some self-respect.

Now, to have this dead girl she previously controlled obediently expose her sore spot, made her incredibly angry. If it weren’t for her years in the city, tempering her impulsivity, she might have already torn into Beisitian.

To be fair, Beisitian wasn’t lying. What they ate, the leftovers were given to Zhuangzhuang, laced with pricey herbal ingredients that couldn’t be bought for just a few bucks, let alone ten or more!

"Tian Tian, sigh, are you angry with aunt for always beating and scolding you? You don’t understand, being a stepmother is tough. I was strict with you because I feared you’d suffer in the future, having taken you in when you were just five. Didn’t I hurriedly think of you when there was something good!" Du Chunmei started to play the emotional card.

After Du Chunmei finished speaking, she looked up to see Beisitian’s face with an unabashed look that screamed ’what an idiot,’ making her feel she’d really insulted herself!

Du Chunmei was somewhat ashamed and angry, "Dead girl, I’m doing this for your own good. Look at the life you’re living now, a dead husband, one paralyzed, one blind at home, and everyone relies on you inside and out. There’s even a five-year-old brother-in-law to consider, which woman doesn’t suffer in such a family!"

"You’re neither wedded nor registered officially, what kind of wife are you? The Luo Family just wants to keep you as a drudge! Why can’t you see it? They’ve never truly treated you as a human, look at you, already a twenty-year-old old maid, and not thinking about finding someone quickly. The older you get, the less likely anyone would marry you!"

Du Chunmei’s mouth was sharp, hitting all the critical points. If Beisitian had a softer personality, she might have been swayed.
