Dahu smiled at Sanya. As her twin, Dahu could actually feel Sanya’s reluctance and sadness toward the sold dog doll.

Shu Yu looked at the two and smiled. “Dahu, you’re the same. I know that you’re working hard to learn how to read, but you have to rest in between. When you have nothing to do, you can sit at the door with Sanya and look at the people on the street, or go out to play with other friends. You guys are so good-looking. Just by standing at the door, you’d bring customers to the shop. When you bring customers in, you’ll naturally be rewarded for your efforts.”

Dahu was a little happy. “Me too?”

“Of course. Although you are young, we can’t deny your contribution, right?”

However, the old lady was a little hesitant. “Isn’t this inappropriate? Dahu and Sanya are so young. It’s not good to have so much money in their hands. What if they lose it or spend it carelessly?”

Although the old lady was an open-minded person, she had her beliefs.

In her opinion, Dahu were only five years old. In the village, how could five-year-old children manage money? Even if they were obedient and sensible, giving them one or two coins to buy some snacks was enough.

However, they were talking about a total of 50 coins here. Some of the daughters-in-law in the village might not even have that amount of money.

Wasn’t it natural for children to help out at home? It wasn’t like they lacked food or water either.

Shu Yu knew what the old lady meant, so she did not refute her. She just held the old lady’s hand and asked, “Ma’am, look at Sanya. Isn’t she very good-looking now?”

“Of course. Otherwise, why would there be customers when she’s sitting at the door?”

“Then, she’ll definitely attract a lot of unwanted attention from people with ill intentions. Mischievous children around the same age aside, what if a stranger offers to buy Sanya ten to twenty coins worth of candy and then coaxes her away? But if Sanya has money in her own hands, it would be different. She wouldn’t care about a mere twenty coins, right?”

Sanya, who was listening at the side, could not help but widen her round eyes. “Shu Ya, I won’t be coaxed away with candy.”

Shu Yu smiled at her.

While Sanya had made a solemn vow, the old lady and Lu Erbai fell into deep thought.

In the past, even in the village, there were already horrible people like the old lady of the Ruan family who intended to take advantage of the twins.

Now that they were all in the bigger county town, there were a lot of bad people. They couldn’t keep Sanya at home all the time. However, the little girl looked obedient and cute, so she could easily become the target of scammers.

Of course, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to openly kidnap, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t dare to perform trickery. If they really used money to trick people into going to a place where there was no one, then it would be too late for regrets.

The old lady thought deeper and thought of Daya.

Daya was foolish. Her being lied to by Zhang Shu aside, she was also cheated by the Zhang family of all the dowry money.

Therefore, Sanya must not be raised like Daya. At the very least, she must be trained to be able to use money and manage it from a young age.

The old lady clapped her hands together. “Let’s give Sanya the 50 coins.”

Then, the old lady lowered her head and instructed Sanya earnestly, “Take this money. You can decide what you want to buy, but you can’t use it recklessly, understand? Remember that you have money in your own hands, and you don’t need to care about others’ mere ten or twenty coins. Don’t leave with others for that little money.”
