Reborn As Lucky Star

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Going into the City

After Old Lady Zhou left, Lin Chunju made up her mind.

“Xiaofang, Old Lady Zhou is a well-known and knowledgeable person in the village. You might as well give it a try,” she suggested.

Yue Xiaofang was still worried. “What if no one wants it?”

“If no one wants it, then no one wants it. At least you have to try,” Lin Chunju responded.

Lin Chunju had always been decisive and action-oriented, while Yue Xiaofang tended to be indecisive.

Zhang Ying also encouraged her, “You just finished making some clothes and have some fabric left, why not make some small items? It’s not a big deal, and there’s no loss.”

Yue Xiaofang pursed her lips, and after a long pause, she nodded, “Then I’ll give it a try.”

Seeing her agree, everyone couldn’t help but beam with joy.

They had all noticed Yue Xiaofang’s privately sullen mood these past days.

Regardless of whether this venture succeeded or failed, at least it would give Yue Xiaofang something to do and prevent her from feeling sorry for herself.

Yue Jiandong instructed his brother, “Little brother, when the time comes, accompany Xiaofang to the city.”

Yue Jiannan nodded, “That’s okay, but what about my fish pond? I need to start fishing in half a month, and I need to feed them on schedule these days.”

“No problem, let the second brother feed them for you on that day.”

Yue Xiaofang was cautious in her actions but always hesitant.

Jiannan, on the other hand, was exactly the opposite, flexible and bold, but a bit too impulsive.

Together, the two going to the city would complement each other well.

Yue Jiannan agreed, “Second brother, later I need to properly tell you how to mix the fish food, I’ve really put a lot of effort into it.”

Lin Chunju teased him, “You’ve become an expert now?”

Yue Jiannan, not the least bit embarrassed, replied, “Absolutely, just wait until the fishing season, you’ll all be in for a big surprise.”

Everyone laughed at his confident demeanor, but didn’t take it too seriously.

After all, for the Yue family, fish farming was completely like groping one’s way across a river by feeling the stones.

The first year was just about breaking even; if there was a loss, they’d just have to chalk it up to a learning expense.

After the laughter, Lin Chunju suggested that it would be best to take Yue Qingqing along as well.

Yue Xiaofang, however, worried, “Mom, Qingqing is too young.”

Although Yue Qingqing was much smarter than other children, the city was a strange place for them, and Qingqing was so beautiful, what if someone kidnapped her?

Lin Chunju knew very well that even if both the older ones were lost, Qingqing would be fine.

But she couldn’t just say this outright, so she vaguely replied, “Qingqing looks so pretty in the clothes you make. Others will only know how good your products are when they see her. Besides, aren’t you both grown-ups? Can’t you keep an eye on a child?”

Yue Qingqing also tugged at Yue Xiaofang’s sleeve, her face full of desire, “Auntie, Qingqing wants to go to the city.”

Yue Xiaofang couldn’t resist those adorable eyes and immediately agreed, treating her like a precious treasure.

Yue Jiannan maintained his usual confidence, “Don’t worry, the last time I was selling ginseng, I scoped out the area and memorized the routes.”

Lin Chunju glanced at him, thinking to herself that with Qingqing there, of course, she would be at ease.

Now that they had a goal, Yue Xiaofang was full of vigor and quickly made several pairs of gloves.

They were both warm and good-looking, with flowers and plants outlined on the surface with thread, bringing good mood to anyone wearing them on winter days.

She figured that even if she couldn’t sell these gloves, the family could use them.

Not a loss!

By mid-month, Yue Xiaofang and Yue Jiannan finally decided to set out today.

Early in the morning, Qingqing was dug out of bed and dressed up by the women of the Yue family.

The Yue family members all had a good sense of aesthetics, and given Yue Qingqing’s own remarkable appearance.

Once she washed up and changed clothes, she looked as radiant as a nymph under goddess Guanyin, bringing joy to anyone who saw her.

Yue Jiannan excitedly hoisted Qingqing onto his shoulders, securing her there.

“Let’s go, we’re heading to the city!”
