Chapter 812 - Chapter 812 Borrowing Money

Chapter 812: Borrowing Money Chapter 812: Borrowing Money Editor: Atlas Studios Little Bear sat cross-legged on the brick bed.

As he peeled the peanuts, he stuffed them into the mouths of his two younger brothers.

Tiger Head and Little Lion hurriedly sucked on his hand, making him cry out.

Seeing this, Mu Yangling hurriedly pulled his hand out and took out the peanuts from the two children’s mouths.

She said, “Little Bear, your younger brothers are too young to be eating this.” With a loud cry, Tiger Head and Little Lion grabbed their big brother’s hand and bit it with their newly-grown teeth.

Little Bear cried out loudly in pain.

Mu Yangling could only open the two children’s mouths and pull them aside.

Exhausted, she stopped them from stuffing the shelled peanuts into their mouths.

Little Bear turned to look at Little An, who was sitting obediently at the side, and complained, “They clearly can eat this.” “Little An is older and can eat this, but Tiger Head and Little Lion are still too young to be eating this.

They’ll have diarrhea if they eat it.” About eight months old, these two children had diarrhea after eating a few peanuts a few days ago.

Thus, Mu Yangling did not dare to feed them peanuts again.

Little Bear had no choice but to turn around and help Little An peel the peanut shells.

As he did so, he stuffed a few into his mouth, occasionally taking out a few and stuffing them into Little An’s mouth.

Little An really liked such tender peanuts.

Not minding that Little Bear’s hands were dirty, he would open his mouth and wait to be fed whenever Little Bear offered him one.

“Is it delicious?” Little Bear looked at his cousin with starry eyes.

Little An nodded at him, something he rarely did.

He turned to Mu Yangling and said, “Aunt, my father likes to eat it too.” Mu Yangling didn’t believe that Fan Zijin liked to eat it, but she still nodded and said with a smile, “In that case, I will ask Auntie Rain to send half a basket to your house later.” Little An nodded and sat on the brick bed in peace, waiting for Little Bear to feed him.

These were early peanuts from their greenhouse.

As the vegetables in the greenhouse had been harvested after the Spring Festival, the farmer could not bear to let the land stay idle, so he came to ask Mu Yangling if he could plant a batch of wheat there.

Mu Yangling felt that instead of planting wheat, it was better to plant the selected glutinous corn or peanuts.

Hence, the estate manager split the greenhouse into two halves, planting wheat and peanuts on each plot of land respectively.

This was why even though everyone else only started planting peanuts in March, they already had access to fresh peanuts here in the Qi Residence.

The peanuts had been sent over from the farmstead this morning.

The kitchen had washed them and boiled them in a pot of salt before sending them to the main room.

Coincidentally, the children were all there, so they ate them.

Freshly harvested, the peanuts were still tender and sweet.

Mu Yangling wasn’t partial to the peanuts, but the children liked them very much.

“Little Bear, I’ll be going to the farmstead to check on the crops tomorrow.

Do you want to come along?” Mu Yangling asked as she wiped the twins’ mouths.

Little Bear tilted his head and thought for a moment before asking, “Is Dad going too?” “No.” “Then I won’t go either.” Little Bear said, “I want to play with Dad and my brothers at home.” “Then you’re not allowed to feed them strange food, nor are you allowed to bring them to the lake.” Mu Yangling threatened him.

“If I find out that you brought your younger brothers to dangerous places, I’ll deduct two months of your monthly allowance.” Little Bear opened his mouth wide, shocked to hear such a heavy punishment.

He immediately wailed and said angrily, “How can you always deduct my allowance?

I don’t have a single cent now!” “That’s because you’re naughty.

If you hadn’t been so mischievous, you’d probably have saved up a fortune by now.” Little Bear counted the money in his vault with his fingers and realized that he really couldn’t afford to have his allowance deducted anymore.

He had promised Dahei and the others to help them buy books.

Furthermore, as Brother Little Treasure’s school in the capital had just started, he needed money to pay for the expenses.

Now was not the time to be willful.

Little Bear sighed sadly, feeling that life was too difficult.

He picked up a peanut, pinched open the shell, and stuffed the peanut into his mouth.

Only eating could comfort his wounded heart.

The next day was Qi Haoran’s day off, and he had made arrangements to go fishing with Fan Zijin.

As Mu Yangling was going to the farm, Qi Haoran took the three children with him, so Fan Zijin naturally also brought Little An along.

It was naturally impossible for the two men to serve the four children by themselves, so they mostly left the caregiving to the servants.

They only needed to sit by the river and fish.

Little Bear abandoned his three brothers and ran to the water to take a look.

He asked, “Father, can I sell the fish I catch?” Fan Zijin turned around and asked Qi Haoran, “How exactly did you guys raise your son?

He seems to be short of money all the time.

A few days ago, this kid even lured Little An to take out his New Year’s money for him to use.” “Son, tell Uncle why you’re short of money.” Little Bear straightened his chest and said, “We need to buy a total of 104 books for our three schools.

This costs a lot.

Also, Brother Little Treasure has just opened a new school in the capital.

Because it just opened, the expenditure is even greater.” Little Bear looked at Fan Zijin with starry eyes.

“Uncle, are you interested in investing in our schools?” Fan Zijin asked disinterestedly, “Your Treasure-Bear Academy?

What can I gain from investing in your schools seeing as you don’t charge the students any school fees?

There is no return on your investment.

As a businessman, I don’t do business at a loss.” “You won’t lose money.

Dahei has already decided to learn carpentry.

When he completes his learning in two years, if you need any carpentry done, you can just order him around.

There’s also DazhuaEUR”he’s going to learn accounting.

Considering you own so many farmsteads, I’m sure you need a lot of accountants.

He can also work for you for free for a period of time.

This way, you can save a lot of moneyaEUR|” Fan Zijin looked at Little Bear seriously now.

Seeing that he was looking at him eagerly with his back straightened, Fan Zijin’s heart softened for a moment.

Just as he was about to agree to him, he heard Qi Haoran say, “Does your Uncle Fan lack carpenters and accountants?

Go to the shops and take a look.

Which one of the people working at your Uncle Fan’s place hasn’t signed an indenture contract by which they sold themselves to him?

Your friends can only look for work elsewhere.

Otherwise, you can keep them around to work for you.

It’s difficult for someone like your Uncle Fan to hire those people!” With Fan Zijin’s status, the trusted aides he could use were either strategists or servants who had signed an irrevocable contract.

Otherwise, how could he dare to use them without worry?

Fan Zijin was originally worried that Little Bear would feel hurt by the refusal.

Just as he was about to comfort him, he saw him touch his chin thoughtfully and say, “That makes sense.

Then can we go at it alone?

Say we open our own shop.

We have people who can do carpentry, weaving, and some can use the abacusaEUR|” “Do you have money?” Qi Haoran turned around and asked.

Little Bear looked at his father eagerly, trying his best to make his gaze look pitiful.

Unfortunately, Qi Haoran was already immune to it.

In the past year or so, he had been competing with his son in intelligence and bravery.

While one tried his best to take money out of the other’s pocket, the other tried his best to protect his assets.

It was impossible not to have grown immune.

Seeing that he could not move Qi Haoran, Little Bear could only droop his shoulders and borrow from him.

Qi Haoran chuckled and gestured for Fei Bai to bring the account book over.

Under Fan Zijin’s dumbfounded gaze, he flipped open the account book and said, “You already owe me 38 taels of silver.

How much do you plan to borrow this time?” Little Bear hesitated for a long time before saying, “I have to go back and discuss with Zhuzi and the others.

I’ll let you know again.” “Sure, I’ll wait for you.” Qi Haoran asked Fei Bai to keep the account book and said to his son with a smile, “Don’t think about selling fish for money, and go play instead.

Let’s not talk about whether you can catch any or not.

Even if you do catch one, one fish only fetches about 20 copper coins.

What good is that small amount?”
