Kang Daqiao didn't know what her little sister was thinking, but she couldn't watch her little sister being deceived, so she mustered up her courage and was about to speak.
At this time, Kang Xiaoqiao slowly took off the green leaves on her hand. Looking at the pink and pink nails that were dyed, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she said, "Sister, look, is this color good?"
Kang Daqiao was on fire. She said in a bad tone, "Little sister, it's already so late, and you still have the time to look at your nails."
"Little sister, how much is time worth? I have a lot of time, but that egg--"
Before she could finish, Kang Xiaoqiao turned around and grabbed her hand. She also removed the green leaves and said, "Sister, look, this is really not bad. Look at how beautiful the color is."
"Sister, don't worry about other things. I know what to do. Sister, how precious is your time? How can it be exchanged for an egg?"
"Have you learned all the Pinyin I taught you? Have you learned how to write it?"
Kang Daqiao was stumped when she heard that. Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "Then why aren't you making use of 'time' ? Hmm?"
Kang Daqiao was about to speak when Kang Xiaoqiao shook her head and gave her two thumbs up. "Sister, do you know? The worst thing about your little sister right now is time. I wish I could split it in half."
"Sister, a person's strength will eventually be limited. You will never be able to pick all the flowers on this mountain. Think about it. Even if you have perseverance, time waits for no one. It's autumn. The flowers are about to wither."
Seeing this, Kang Daqiao did not say anything. Indeed, the flowers were about to wither, but seeing the eggs being taken away, she...
Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and patted her hand. "Sister, if you can't stand it, go back to the house and memorize the letters. I'm here."
Hearing this, Kang Daqiao immediately shook her head. "No, I'm not going. I want to stay here and help you dry the flowers. What if, which blind person picked the wrong flowers? What if the eggs were taken away?"
Her voice was very soft. After saying that, she went to dry the flowers. Kang Xiaoqiao gently shook her head and smiled.
From afar, Kang Xiaoqiao's courtyard was filled with round woven dustpans. People were constantly sending flowers, which attracted even more people's discussion.
Even Wang Xuehua, who was next door, was very jealous. She wanted to go and pick the flowers, but she could not wipe away her face. She could only watch helplessly.
Liu Haiying and Zhao Xiulan were even more jealous than Wang Xuehua. At this moment, Liu Haiying was tiptoeing to look at the backyard. As she looked, she said, "Sister Xiulan, look over there. Look over there. Someone came again. They took a few baskets of flowers."
"Look, that person brought a few eggs home. Sister Xiulan, look over there--"
Zhao Xiulan glared at Liu Haiying and said, "I heard it. I'm not deaf yet."
"If you're envious, you can go. I didn't stop you."
Liu Haiying heard this and choked again. She wanted to go, but she had to be wanted. With Kang Xiaoqiao's vengeful character, it would be strange if she was wanted.
Zhao Xiulan was furious. She said angrily, "Pui -- it's great to have an official's in-law. Is there a need to spread it around? Ha, she didn't know how she got in the door back then!"
Meanwhile, Liu Haiying had been displeased with Zhao Xiulan for a long time. When she heard that, she curled her lips and said, "Don't bother about how she got in the first place. That mother-in-law of hers is definitely a high-ranking official."
"We're all human beings. Why is her life so different? Sister Xiulan, I feel aggrieved for you. The two of you entered the family courtyard one after the other, and both of you were high school educated. In the end, she, Kang Xiaoqiao, found a good in-law, a high-ranking official's in-law."
"Previously, the family courtyard was still full of discussions. Now look, no one dares to speak. Not only that, these people even went to pick flowers to curry favor with her, Kang Xiaoqiao."
"Sister Xiulan, why is your life so miserable? Even if you don't have a high-ranking official's in-laws, it's fine even if you have money in your hands. Let's squander and give away an egg with a basket of flowers."
"Aye, unfortunately, I don't have this life anymore. If I had that egg, I would have eaten it all and even given it away..."
Before she could finish, Zhao Xiulan slammed the table and said, "Liu Haiying, what do you mean?"
"Are you deliberately making fun of me? You're complaining that I don't have an official's in-laws to protect you, that I don't have money, and that I don't have any eggs for you. Then leave. Who's stopping you?"
Liu Haiying swallowed her saliva and said, "I'm just saying. Why are you so angry?"
"However, this Kang Xiaoqiao is really not a person. Last time, if it wasn't for her, the teacher slot in town would have been yours. Now, the hospital doesn't want you, and the school in town doesn't want you..."
When Zhao Xiulan heard this, her heart felt like it was being stabbed. Was Liu Haiying really with her? This was simply adding salt to the wound.
The people on this side were angered to death by Kang Xiaoqiao's actions, while Kang Xiaoqiao's side was smiling like a wisp of smoke. It was impractical to come, and they were fully prepared.
Now, the sun was shining brightly, and the light was abundant. The water evaporated quickly, and the flowers were soon dried. Batch after batch, Kang Xiaoqiao was well-prepared. She directly put them into a bag and put them in Lu Yichen's room.
Although there were so many of them, there was not much left after they were dried. The people on this side were constantly making essential oils, so the supply and demand could be connected. Thus, a week had passed, and the flowers on the mountain had almost been picked. Her side had also come to an end.
The number of eggs distributed was countless. Wu Xiaoyan had earned a lot of money, and she was smiling brilliantly every day. Kang Daqiao was very indignant, and did not understand why she had to give Wu Xiaoyan benefits.
After collecting the flowers in the morning, there was no one else in the afternoon. Kang Xiaoqiao had made it a rule not to collect flowers after twelve o'clock. She was afraid that the flowers would be ruined if they were not dried.
At that moment, after lunch, only the two sisters were left. Kang Daqiao then muttered, "Little sister, why did you give Wu Xiaoyan so much money? She did not work."
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at the condition of the flowers in her hands. When she heard that, she said indifferently, "If you want the horse to run fast, you naturally have to give some grass."
Then, she smiled and said, "Sister, with her taking care of things, we don't have to worry. After all, there are some things that can not be said from our mouths. Moreover, Wu Xiaoyan's organizational ability is very strong. Look, it has only been a few days, and she has already collected so much."
Kang Daqiao said in a huff, "It's just a favor. Little sister, you're too wasteful. Look, how much money have we spent these past few days?"
Kang Xiaoqiao took the account book and looked at it. Yes, it was indeed a lot. She had already spent a hundred yuan.
Kang Xiaoqiao already had about two hundred yuan in her hands. In addition to the big red envelope given to her by Lu Yichen's grandmother and the pocket money given to her by Lu Yichen, she had five hundred yuan in total.
She had asked Lin An to buy medicine powder for her and had taken more than three hundred yuan. Now that she looked at it, she had less than a hundred yuan in her hands. Sigh, this money was really spent quickly. However, it was worth it. She believed that she would be able to earn a lot before long.
However, some people had to be quick. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on any longer!
When Zhao Yingying, who was far away in the disaster area, received such a sensational news from Kang Xiaoqiao, her eyes lit up. Her well-behaved face instantly became ferocious and terrifying.
The letter in her hand was fiercely grabbed into a ball by her. Then, she tore it into pieces and muttered, "You asked for this. Don't blame me. Kang Xiaoqiao, I don't believe that good luck will always stand on your side. Just wait and see, hmph--"
