Chapter 6 Beggars

Xia Shugen couldn't move his legs. He sat on the bed and sighed every day. He was the pillar of the family. If he fell down, what would the family do?
The boss and the second child worked part-time in the town last time, but Xia Shugen had an accident that day, and they ran back in a hurry without even saying hello. If they go now, the boss will not accept them.

The two returned home dejectedly, Xia Yingying saw them drooping their heads and asked, "Big Brother, Second Brother, what's wrong with you?"

The boss sighed and said, "The boss won't let us do it anymore, third sister, do you think we are useless?"

On the fifteenth and sixteenth, most families have married their wives, but the poor Xia family is jingling, no, no, no, not even jingling, how can they marry a daughter-in-law?
Xia Yingying smiled and said: "What's useful or useless? You have worked hard, brother, I sent some mung bean sprouts. Let's go to the town to see if there are any restaurants to collect them?"

Xia Yingying took them to the corner of her room, and the boss opened her eyes wide and said, "This... You made these mung bean sprouts? But where did we get mung beans from?"

"It's a change." Xia Yingying said lightly, "Let's go!"

Xia Ying nodded quickly. The brothers of the Xia family were all named after animals.

Xia Ying and Xia Xiong rushed to the town with Xia Yingying. There are many restaurants in the town.

The largest one is called Tianxianglou, which is quite famous in the town.

But as soon as he entered the restaurant, he was kicked out by the staff inside: "Where did you come from, beggar, get out of here quickly, it happens that your grandpa and I are in a bad mood, get out..."

Xia Xiong was so angry that he grabbed the man by the neckline, and the man shouted, "Someone is robbing!"

The buddies and waiters all came out, Xia Xiong said angrily: "We just want to sell mung bean sprouts, why did we rob them? Why do you call us beggars?"

"Hmph! Dressed like this, isn't it just coming out of a beggar's den? Brothers, come on." The people in the store surrounded him without any explanation.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xia Yingying yelled directly: "The official messenger is here! The official messenger is here!"

Then, taking advantage of those guys not paying attention, he dragged Xia Ying and Xia Xiong away.

After running all the way into an alley, Xia Yingying gasped and said: "The Xianglou is really nothing today, the score is so big, if you don't accept it, you won't accept it!"

Xia Xiong said with a loud voice: "If the officials didn't come, I would definitely blow their heads off."

Xia Ying raised his forehead and said: "Your second brother is very powerful, but he is simple-minded. Hey! If we really hit them, what compensation will we have?"

Xia Xiong was silent, Xia Ying pointed and said: "There is also a small restaurant here, let's go in and try our luck."

The business of this small restaurant is also good. As soon as Xia Ying walked in, he heard the waiter inside say: "Hey! Isn't this Xia Ying? Why did you come to the town?"

Xia Ying also showed a smile on his face. He sighed and said, "Xia Dou, we sent out some bean sprouts. I wonder if you will accept them here?"

"Bean sprouts? What are these?" The summer beans belonged to their village. He looked at the basket and said, "How about this! I'll take you to the backyard to find the master, and see if he accepts it?"

Xia Dou took them directly to the backyard, and saw an old man sharpening a knife.

"Master, this is from our same village. They asked if we accept bean sprouts in our shop?" Xia Dou asked respectfully.

The master raised his head, looked at the bean sprouts in the basket and said, "How do you plan to sell them!"

Xia Yingying interjected, "What price do you think it's worth?"

"The mung bean sprouts are not bad, but I can give you 5 cents a catty at most, what do you think?" said the master chef.

Five Wen a catty, originally Xia Yingying thought she could only sell it for three Wen a catty.

She nodded and said with a faint smile: "Master, do you still need it in the future? We still have it at home."

The master laughed loudly and said, "Let's do this! In the future, the bean sprouts will be sent here. They are all from the villagers, and it will not be easy."

Xia Yingying smiled and said, "Okay! Thank you, Master!"

After coming out of the restaurant, Xia Yingying had 120 Wen extra in her hand.

Xia Ying and Xia Xiong were faintly excited that they could really make money.

Xia Yingying smiled and said, "Let's go get some oil and buy some salt!"

Without oil and salt, there is no taste in cooking. Besides, people cannot lack salt.

All the salt these days is in the hands of officials, and a small pot of salt costs 80 renminbi, which is enough for two months if saved.

It's really expensive. If you want oil, you can only buy fatty pork and cook it out.

Xia Yingying took her two older brothers to the meat stall and asked, "How do you sell this piece of fat meat?"

"This piece of fat is more than 2 taels, and I'll charge you 40 renminbi, do you want it?" the butcher asked casually.

"Yes." The 120 words disappeared in an instant, Xia Yingying sighed, making money is easy but spending money is difficult.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw more than a dozen villagers chatting. Seeing Xia Yingying, everyone was pointing at her.

The eldest aunt of the Xia family was knocking on the melon seeds, and when she saw the basket behind Xia Ying, she hurriedly said: "Is this going to the town? Let me see what good things I bought! Your grandma is sick these two days and can't eat anything." , just to honor your grandma."

Xia Yingying looked at the Xia family's aunt with a half-smile and said: "You have forgotten what happened yesterday! If you stretch your hand too long, you won't be afraid that I will chop your hand off."

What kind of filial piety is not filial piety?Only when you live well can you be really good.

When Xia Yingying became a ghost, she would sometimes go back to Zhao's mansion. After all, she became a lonely ghost, and the only places she could go were Zhao's house and her lonely house.

Xia Youyou has a diary, and will write many things about the future from time to time.

What Xia Youyou didn't know was that Xia Yingying would often read her diary and learned a lot.

What touched her deeply was that the future world was actually monogamous, and women in that era could actually show their faces and earn money to support themselves.

The most important thing is that those women live independently and have self-respect. Although Xia Yingying doesn't like Xia Youyou, she really likes the future world.

So, taking advantage of Xia Youyou's inattention, she blew the diary away. She couldn't take things directly, but she could slowly take away the things she liked with the wind.

A diary was full, let her read it again and again, if she lived in that world, she would definitely not be as miserable as her previous life.

But slowly she thought, why can't I live independently, autonomously, and have self-respect in this life!
After her rebirth, her personality changed. From the gentle and demure in the previous life, she became the one who would fight back if anyone dared to provoke her.

The eldest aunt looked at the stick in her hand, twitched the corner of her mouth, and hid directly to the side.

But will she be so obedient?Of course not.
