Guide to raise my cutie husbands

The news of Yu Dong selling her products at more than three thousand taels a day spread all over the Big Mountain Village like wildfire.

With people gossiping back and forth, the whole village knew that someone from the town had come to buy vegetables and meat from Yu Dong at her house! And that mer was so rich that he paid thirty taels without even haggling!

What was even more shocking was that Yu Dong's stock was so good that it was running out at the mall causing a shortage of material to be sold at the mall which led to the rich official's husbands coming to the Big River Village humbly!

The entire village started to boil with excitement.

The elders of the Big Mountain Village were also alarmed. They immediately dropped everything that they were doing and rushed to Da Qiao's house. It was as if they were worried about wasting a single second, what a joke. They have already wasted two entire days by waiting and watching.

The other villagers in the Big River Village were already humming soft tunes as they had heard a lot of money and they were still sitting in their houses!

If this goes on then who knows how much losses they would end up incurring.

" Da Qiao! Did you talk to Madam Yu?" The Elder of the Qiao family, Elder Qiao rushed inside the house of Da Qiao and called her.

When Da Qiao heard Elder Qiao's voice she knew that the elderly woman must have found out about the success of Yu Dong's mall. After all, it was not a secret, her husband was a big mouth and he must have already told the entire village how they all suffered a great loss by not agreeing to Yu Dong's suggestion right away.

Da Qiao pushed the curtain that was made of soft bamboo skin and then walked out of her house. She looked at Elder Qiao and the rest of the elders before saying, " Please take a seat, elders. I will ask my husband to bring some snacks and tea."

" There is no need for that," Elder Pei waved her hand and then worriedly asked, " Did… Did Yu Dong's mall really succeed? People are running to buy things at her mall? Is this the truth?"

Da Qiao thought about it but then again this was a truth that she wouldn't be able to hide anyway which was why she nodded and agreed, " Yes, my brother-in-law came to tell me that his wife who signed the fifty-fifty contract with Yu Dong has already earned two taels and it's only the income of one day."

When Da Qiao heard her brother-in-law tell her that his family had earned two taels in a day she felt a hole in her stomach open. Two taels ah! This was her income of her entire month and that too when she skimped and saved every penny as possible.

Yet her sister-in-law earned this sum of money in a day by the end of the month her sister-in-law and brother-in-law would end up earning at least forty taels!

Forty!

Da Qiao had never seen so much money at once.

Da Qiao was not the only one who had a face filled with regret. The elders were in the same boat. This much money by selling just the vegetables! If they agreed to sell pickles then they might have earned more!

" I never thought that someone could sell meat and vegetables at such a high price. I have seen the mall it's so big most probably Yu Dong takes more than ten thousand catties of just vegetables and five thousand catties of meat… and yet she is selling everything out!" This was simply unimaginable for small farmers like them.

" We need not focus on that for the time being," Elder Qiao waved her hand and then turned to look at Da Qiao before asking, " Da Qiao, is there a chance to get a place to sell pickles at Yu Dong's mall? I mean we did not say no to her right?"

Now Elder Qiao was only worried about one thing and that was to clinch a shelf for her village's pickles. At least that way their village would be able to get better and she did not have to worry about their children dying due to thirst or starvation.

Right now the money to buy a water bucket was four hundred copper coins! It was enough to buy two catties of pork belly and yet they had to take out that huge sum of money to buy water!

Fortunately, they had dug a few wells after listening to Yu Dong but it was nowhere enough when there were more than six hundred families in the village.

" I did not say no to Miss Yu. But …" Da Qiao paused and bit her lip. " I did not say yes to her either, wouldn't Miss Yu think less of us? When it was the time to take a risk we stepped back and now that we have seen how well her mall is functioning we are going to ask her for her help."

Elder Pei and Elder Qiao turned silent as they knew that Da Qiao was right but this was not the time to worry over something like this!

" Da Qiao, I know that you are worried and ashamed but in situations like this, we can only thicken our skin and suck up to Miss Yu. We are not greedy for money child but the younger ones and the pregnant mers need water and food, if this goes on then many will die."

Elder Qiao tried to explain the seriousness of the matter to Da Qiao. It wasn't like they wanted to take advantage of Yu Dong but they really had no money. If they bought water they could not buy food and the water in the wells was also going down. If this continued then they would surely die!
