Chapter 47: Chapter 47: The Tricycle Belongs to Aunt Hua

"Oh, okay," Qin Xiangyang wasn’t the most cunning person, but he remembered every word his sister had said and kept it in his mind.

He brought some stuff over to Aunt Hua and repeated Miao Mei’s words to her, without missing a single one.

Upon hearing that the two kids had found work for her, and could now support themselves, Aunt Hua sighed in relief. Otherwise, just the thought of the hardships the two children were enduring made her restless; she couldn’t eat properly, nor could she sleep well. As for what Qin Xiangyang mentioned, Aunt Hua agreed without hesitation. It wasn’t for the gifts Qin Xiangyang had brought as a token of his respect, but for the sake of the two children. Indeed, Hu Li was capable of anything, and if she found out about the kids getting a tricycle, she would shamelessly claim it as her own. If that happened, the kids would lose their tricycle and end up working for someone else without pay for who knows how long.

The next day, she went around telling everyone that her family had bought a new tricycle, but now that they had one, she felt sorry for the orphaned siblings, so she lent it to them to let the kids do odd jobs in the city to earn some money.

The Qin Family’s affairs were already known by everyone in the village, but to save face, people wouldn’t say much about it. However, in their hearts, they didn’t know how else to curse Hu Li, who treated her stepchildren as less than human. Her role as a stepmother was absolutely intolerable to everyone.

Hu Li too heard this rumor, and it left her face looking quite awful.

Originally, she saw a new tricycle at Chen Laosan’s house and was thinking about how these two brats got their hands on a tricycle. She was planning to take the tricycle for herself; her own tricycle was already old, and it was a good opportunity to replace it with a new one. As for the old one, she could still give it back to her parental family for their use.

But before she could approach Qin Guohua to take the tricycle, she heard that it was actually bought by Aunt Hua and lent to the two brats.

And upon hearing this, she knew that her plan was doomed. She really wanted to strangle those two brats; they seemed to have been born to oppose her.

The issue with the tricycle was now completely resolved. Qin Xiangnuan had Qin Xiangyang buy some meat back, and she made a meat sauce. It wasn’t pure meat though; she added lotus root, carrots, soybeans, peanuts, broad bean paste, and several kinds of spices, cooking up a delicious pot of meat sauce. She also chopped some fine strips of radish, potatoes, pickles, cucumber slices, and chilies—all mostly bought from the village. Qin Xiangnuan still didn’t want to make it public that they were selling pancakes. Actually, she knew that even if she did tell, the villagers wouldn’t compete with them for business. They saw land as their lifeline, and none would have her culinary skills.

She also made some farm-style rice crisps, all made with rice. It was simple—she cut the rice crisps into small pieces. The next morning, she got up early to make pancakes, then loaded everything onto the tricycle. The siblings were ready to appear at their usual spot. Later on, a few others came to sell food as well, but their flavors were far inferior to theirs, so no matter how many competitors showed up, their business was still the best.

Qin Xiangyang placed a wooden board on the tricycle, and then took out one small basin after another.

She poured the vegetables inside, and since there was a stove underneath, the pancakes they kept in the box would cool off very slowly. The siblings, huddled around the tricycle, weren’t too cold, and when they had time, they could even warm their hands by the fire.
