“I have four or five sets of clothes for every season. It’s enough for me to wear for two years.” Chu Jin counted with his fingers very seriously.
“I can sell all the new clothes I got in the past two years. I can sell one tael of silver for each piece. At least I can earn seven or eight taels a year.”
“Mother, you can’t tell Father. Otherwise, Father won’t let me off,” Chu Jin said seriously to Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu’s expression was strange. ‘You still know that your father will punish Seeing how the child said it so casually, it was obvious that this idea definitely did not come out of nowhere. It was likely that he had already done this usually.
“Mother, you’re on my side. You can’t tell Father.” Chu Jin quickly hugged her arm and acted coquettishly.
Ye Muyu smiled bitterly. “You’re a boy. Isn’t it embarrassing to act coquettishly?”
“What’s there to lose face about? I’m still a child. I don’t understand,” Chu Jin said righteously.
“Then tell me first, did you sell things before?” Ye Muyu asked calmly.
Chu Ziluo quickly coughed and reminded her brother not to answer her mother’s question. Her mother was trying to get information from him!
Unfortunately, Chu Jin was still young at this time. He did not understand his sister’s hint. He even said happily, “Mother, I sell a lot of things.”
“The food you make every day, the buns and the Soft Fragrance Cakes, are all loved by my classmates in the school. Every time I bring them over, they are sold out in an instant.”
“Also, I’ve sold all the bracelets you usually buy for me.”
There was only one thought in Chu Ziluo’s heart. ‘It was over.’
As expected, Ye Muyu looked at Chu Jin with a faint smile and gave him a pear.
“Xiao Jin, that was the jade bracelet that I bought for you. You actually sold it!” Ye Muyu was so angry that she clutched the clothes around her chest, wishing she could grab this child and beat him up.
It was one thing to sell buns, but he sold the bracelet privately too.
How much could a five-year-old child sell a bracelet for?
“Mother, don’t worry. I’ll help you ask!” Chu Ziluo quickly winked at Chu Jin.
“Brother, who did you sell the bracelet to? How much did you sell it for?”
“I sold it to Wu Huzi. He took the initiative to ask me if he could buy it. Don’t worry, I asked around before. My bracelet cost one tael of silver. I sold it to Wu Huzi for one tael of silver. He said that the jade bracelet was a lucky item and could help one pass every exam,” Chu Jin said happily.
Ye Muyu pinched his ear and scolded him in a low voice. “You brat, I picked it out for you myself. You’ve already sold it?! Don’t tell me you’re going to sell your underwear too!”
“Also, how dare you two children have such transactions? Tell me, where did Wu Huzi get his silver from?” Ye Muyu was heartbroken. She felt that she had let this child go too easily. She thought that he looked obedient, but she did not expect him to do such a thing behind her back.
Her chest heaved up and down slightly. She was furious and somewhat regretful. She had been sensible when she was young and had grown up in a boarding school, so her parents had never controlled her. She felt that Chu Jin was intelligent and learned things quickly. In class, the teacher would also teach him the basic principles of being a human, so she was not worried that he would be badly influenced.
She did not expect that although his personality was fine, his values were not!
Her money-grubber nature was obvious. She had actually not paid attention to it in the past.
“Mother, let go of me. I’ll tell you right now. Don’t be angry.” Chu Jin finally realized that his mother, who had always been gentle, was angry. He quickly begged for mercy in a low voice..
