Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

180 Counting Money

But 75 wen for a child. What if he lose the money?

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Liu Shi.

“It’s not a lot, just for today!”

As she said this, she took out two strings of copper coins.

She gave it to them, letting them count it themselves.

“If you count wrong, you’ll have your money deducted. 1 wen for every wrong mistake. Be careful.”

“Hmph, I would never count wrong!” Lin Xiaozhi immediately replied.

Then, he fiddled with the copper coins, “one, two, three…” He started to count loudly.

Xiao Qing glanced at Lin Xiaozhi and also started counting the other string of copper coins.

Seeing the two children counting the money, Liu Shi knew that her daughter was also testing them, so she did not stop her.

“You need a wallet. I’ll go get two for each of you,” Liu Shi said.

“Thank you!” Xiao Qing hurriedly expressed his thanks.

“Thank you, mom!” Lin Xiaozhi added.

Liu Shi smiled and left.

Then, Lin Xiaozhi’s expression suddenly changed.

“Ah, Qing’er, where was I just now?” Looking at the copper coins on the table, Lin Xiaozhi’s face was full of anxiety.

“I wasn’t paying attention,” Xiao Qing said in embarrassment.

“Xiaoyue…” He was about to cry.

“I didn’t pay attention either,” Lin Xiaoyue laughed out loud.

“Xiaoyue…” He felt wronged.

He only felt that he had been bullied by his sister.

Seeing that the child was about to cry, Xiao Qing hurriedly said, “just count it again.”

Then, he looked at his aunt so that she would stop teasing.

“Ahem, that’s right. Qing’er is right. You can just count it again. There’s no hurry,” Lin Xiaoyue then suppressed her smile and said seriously.

At the same time, she warned herself in her heart.

“You’ve gone too far, Lin Xiaoyue. Don’t bully children.”

He glanced at his sister. Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was no longer laughing at him, he began to count the copper coins again.

“One, two, three…” However, this time, the counting sound was much softer.

Seeing that Lin Xiaozhi started to count again, Xiao Qing finally shifted his gaze away from him.

Then, he gave Lin Xiaoyue a handful of copper coins that he had counted.

“These are additional coins,” he said.

Lin Xiaozhi took a moment to look at Xiao Qing, then quickly retracted her gaze and continued to count, afraid that he would forget again.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Xiao Qing with admiration.

She took the copper coins and nodded.

There were exactly 25 of them.

“Very good, you know how to use subtraction,” she praised Xiao Qing.

That’s right, after she started her business, she had the habit of putting 100 copper coins in a string.

Xiao Qing had helped her do that.

She gave them 2 strings of copper coins, which was actually 100 copper coins each.

If he had 75, there would be 25 left.

She saw Xiao Qing counting for a short while, which meant he counted only 25.

It’s not bad that he could use a different method to solve problems at such a young age.

Xiao Qing’s face was a little red as he bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.

“Thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three…” Lin Xiaozhi was still counting.

Hearing that Li Xiao was coming over, his voice became more and more anxious.

He hoped that Aunt Wang wouldn’t come back so soon. Otherwise, everyone would have to watch him count the money.
