Chapter 48 - Chapter 048 Patching Patches

"Mom, this was a debt I owed An'an in the first place." Being able to change An'an's fate from her past life made her feel that it was completely worth it.

"But... five thousand yuan is something we wouldn't be able to earn even if we worked on the farm our entire lives." Shen Luhua shed tears in worry, "If we really let you marry over there, it would ruin you, and your dad would hate me to death."

"Mom, let's work hard together. As long as we are together, there's no fear of not making money."

"You're right." Shen Luhua wiped away her tears with her sleeve, her voice still nasal but full of determination, "Don't you worry. I will definitely make money. Tomorrow, I'll sprout bean sprouts with you. If it doesn't work, I'll carry a pole and sell from village to village."

Hearing her say this, Sheng Ning felt incredibly warm inside. What is happiness? Happiness is when your efforts are rewarded twice over. She was immensely grateful to God for giving her a chance at rebirth, allowing her to cherish her family.

"Don't worry about the money. I'll find a way." From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to add more burden to this impoverished family.

"Absolutely not. We can't let you suffer. Our family is counting on you to achieve great things!"

"Mom, don't worry. I will succeed. An'an will also succeed in the future. I even want her to go to college!" Sheng Ning's eyes shone at the thought of a bright future.

Hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, Sheng An could no longer control the tears streaming down his face, covering his mouth as he ran out.

The next day, the family began fully preparing the bean sprout business. They not only held a family meeting but also reallocated their tasks.

Sheng Laosan continued to take care of the crops in the fields, Shen Luhua stayed to learn how to sprout bean sprouts with her, and Sheng An was responsible for taking them to the market to sell.

Ever since they switched from yellow bean sprouts to mostly green bean sprouts, business improved significantly, and many outsiders who came to the market specifically sought them out to buy.

They delivered the supply to the cafeteria punctually every week. Occasionally, they would bring some rural specialties to the chef, who, after getting familiar with them, even introduced them to other unit cafeterias.

Now, just from the two cafeterias alone, they needed to supply thirty pounds of bean sprouts each week.

Sheng Ning initially planned to return to the Song and Dance Troupe to wait for news, but seeing the family working together to earn money, she decided to delay her return.

After all, she knew Yang Wenyin might speak harshly, but she wouldn't actually expel her.

After half a month, they calculated that, after deducting the cost of the beans, the net profit was ninety-eight yuan. The coins, even though they were just small change of one dime, five dimes, felt substantial, and the family was overjoyed.

"Ningning, you're going back tomorrow. Take more money with you this time." Sheng Laosan knew that this girl was once a spendthrift; whenever she saw other kids with something, she would always demand it when she came home.

Now that his daughter could earn money, he couldn't let her be stingy.

Sheng Ning picked up five one-yuan bills from the money laid out in front of her, "This is enough for me. The Song and Dance Troupe pays us monthly, and since we live and eat there, I usually don't have to spend money."

The family was poor. This time, Sheng Ning returned to see that her parents' clothes were patched multiple times, and An'an was wearing her old hand-me-downs.

She couldn't afford to be selfish anymore; if she took this money, she would feel guilty.

"No, it's too little." Shen Luhua was the first to disagree, "A poor family, but a rich journey. You must take some money with you for safety. We can make money now, and soon it will be harvest season, when we can sell the rice."
