Chapter 13

“When I make money, I will give grandma delicious food and drinks every day, let her live in a big house, and hire someone to take care of her.”

“Oh, my dear, you are still filial.”

Old Mrs. Xu touched her face lovingly and said, “Grandma’s life is already very good now. When Nannan goes to college, she will take good care of herself and become the first college student in our Xu family. Grandma will be satisfied.”

Xu Leshu didn’t say anything and leaned on Old Lady Xu’s shoulder.

Going to college shouldn’t be difficult, judging from the original owner’s grades. Although she had a bad temper, she studied very hard, otherwise Mrs. Xu wouldn’t have doted on her unconditionally.

She wants to go to college, she wants to make money, and she won’t go back on her promise to Old Lady Xu.

In the evening, the whole family looked at the pieces of cloth and a large bag of rubber bands on the table, wanting to see what she was going to do.

Shitou looked at these things: a pile of scraps of cloth that had not been sold for money, and a big bag of rubber bands that cost ten cents. His second sister actually wanted to make these two things and sell them for money.

Old Mrs. Xu can do it, but she can only wrap the rope in a simple and ordinary way.

The whole family was not optimistic about Xu Leshu, especially Xu’s father and mother. It was because their second daughter was spoiled by the old lady and had never done any housework.

Now she is talking about setting up a stall selling hair ties to make money. If it were so easy, why would they be waiting for their pampered second daughter?

But it was the first time their daughter had this realization, and the materials didn’t cost much, so they just let her do it.

Although Shitou felt that his second sister’s idea was unreliable, his second sister agreed to it.

As long as he helped to make and sell them, he could get a penny for each hair tie.

Five is five cents, ten is ten cents, and his weekly pocket money is only ten cents.

He finally saved up some money, but it was snatched away by his second sister last time.

“Second sister, how should we do this?”

Xu Leshu didn’t respond to him, but just picked up a rubber band and a piece of unwanted wool thread.

She quickly wrapped her fingers around the rubber band, and in less than a minute, a pink hair tie was completed.

Then she picked up two pieces of pink cloth, pieced them together into a small bow, and wrapped them around the hairline.

Use glue to stick half a fake white pearl in the middle of the bow to cover the wrapped thread.

In two minutes, I finished a beautiful pink bow hair tie, held it in my hand and looked up at them in surprise.

“How about this hair tie of mine?”

“It looks good.” Old Mrs. Xu took it and looked at it carefully.

Although bows are popular nowadays, most of them are tied into a bow style with a silk scarf and tied on the hair. Bows are rarely put on hair ties and have not yet become popular.

Ma Jinmei’s eyes were full of shock. She actually made a hair tie in less than two minutes, and it looked pretty good.

The main thing is when did her daughter become so skillful in doing things.

His technique doesn’t look like it’s his first time doing this. It seems like he has done it many times and is very skilled.

Xu Leshu looked at everyone’s faces and understood their doubts.

He picked up another rubber band and wrapped it around his neck. “I also saw it in a foreign book. The style is exquisite and beautiful. I’ve practiced it before.”

“I’m on holiday now and have nothing to do. The textile factory where my mom works usually produces a lot of scraps of cloth. As a worker there, it’s okay for me to take some for free. Even if I want to buy them, they’re very cheap. So I thought about making some and seeing if I can sell them.”

Shitou’s eyes lit up as he watched his second sister finish the second hairband while she was talking.

It was as if he saw money coming towards him quickly from all directions.

“Second sister, how much do you plan to sell this for?”

Xu Leshu put down the second flower hair tie: “Two cents.”

“Two cents?” Shitou’s eyes widened in shock: “The cost is less than a cent, and you, second sister, actually sold it for two cents. This is too…” How heartless.

Xu Leshu opened a small box of decorations, revealing all kinds of fake diamonds and fake gems inside.

She took out two large plastic pearls and strung them on the end of her hair string: “What do you know? My time is not money? These decorations are free?”

“This one costs fifty cents.”

“Exquisite, beautiful and rare things will never have trouble selling.” Xu Leshu put it down and looked at them.

He smiled and said, “Although my price is a bit expensive, we are in a city, and it is reasonable for girls to spend a little money to decorate themselves.”

Old Mrs. Xu and Ma Jinmei looked at each other and saw affirmation in each other’s eyes.

This seems feasible.

Shi Tou couldn’t hold it in any longer, so he picked up a rubber band and looked at Xu Leshu anxiously.

“Second sister, please teach me. Make more. There will be a big market at the park tomorrow. We can make more and sell it for money.

Old Mrs. Xu and Ma Jinmei also nodded and learned attentively. Even Father Xu followed suit and clumsily wound the wool.

The family of five worked until ten o’clock in the evening before they finished making the cloth that Ma Jinmei brought back.

Shitou looked at the pile of hair rings in the basket with satisfaction, then stood up and stretched his body.

“Finally done, I’m going to sleep first, second sister.”

Xu Leshu nodded: “Grandma, Mom and Dad, you should go and have some rest too. You still have to go to work tomorrow.”

Looking at her skin in the mirror, Xu Leshu touched her face and found it a little rough and had pores.

She took out the skin beautifying pill and swallowed it. She had been waiting for the effect of the hair growth pill. Now it seems that the system did not lie to her and the effect was good.

“System, you said that the money I’m making now should be considered a start.”

A ball of transparent white mist appeared. [Naturally, the money earned by the host has begun to be calculated from the moment it is bound to the host. 】

“That’s okay.” Xu Leshu got up and prepared to go to bed.

Then I heard the system’s slightly flattering voice, “Host, the hair growth pills are effective, would you like another one? If it’s your first purchase, I’ll give you a big discount. The second item will be 50% off.” 】

Xu Leshu turned around and looked at it with a smile: “No points.”

The system looked at Xu Leshu with disappointment as she closed her eyes. How could it recover without points?

“Bang, bang, bang…”

“Second sister, hurry up and get up. Let’s go early to get a good seat.”

Xu Leshu opened her eyes with a frown and looked at the watch on her wrist. The hour hand pointed to five o’clock.

I looked out the window again and it was still pitch black.

Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, I woke up in a bad mood.

The pillow hit the door: “Get out of here.”

Shi Tou heard the noise inside, scratched his head, and turned to look at Old Lady Xu who was making breakfast.

“Grandma, my second sister has a bad temper.”

Old Lady Xu looked at the porridge in the casserole and stirred it. She chuckled and said, “Your second sister didn’t get enough sleep. She worked hard yesterday. Let her get more sleep.”

Shitou pouted and retorted: “Didn’t we sleep together last night?”

Listening to the quiet voices outside, my nose twitched a few times.

Why did she smell a slight odor of sweat? It wasn’t hot last night.

He opened his eyes, stood up, lowered his head and smelled his arm. There was a little black dirt on it.

Xu Leshu got out of bed with disgust and ran to the bathroom.
