Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 9 Fish Girl Enters the City
"Mingshun." But before he walked out of the yard, he heard a voice from behind.

Jiang Yongsheng ran out of the main room in a hurry, his lips trembling slightly: "Mingshun, are you leaving now?"

Jiang Mingshun turned around and nodded: "Let Bai and the children go there first before the sun comes out."

Rubbing his hands, Jiang Yongsheng fumbled out a small silver nugget from his arms and stuffed it into Jiang Mingshun's hand: "Your father gave this to me back then. Don't let your aunt know about it."

"I don't want it," Jiang Mingshun refused. Since his father gave it to him, how could he get it back?

Jiang Yongsheng stubbornly stuffed the money into his arms: "Since I said I would give it to you, it is yours."

He put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked towards the room: "Let's go quickly, the sun is coming out."

Jiang Mingshun stood there and took a deep look at the rickety back not far away.

After a moment, he shook the girl's hand next to him again: "Let's go."

Because they had the child in their arms and it was dark, the few of them walked not too fast.

After entering the house, most of the sun outside was exposed to the ground.

Bai looked at the brand new house and nodded with satisfaction.

It turned out that she was worried that the man didn't know how to pack, so she just put the luggage over and said it was packed.

Now, although there are still big and small bags on the ground, they are still arranged neatly.

Bai stayed in the house and continued to clean up, while Jiang Mingshun took Jiang Jinyu towards the river.

A boatman has already pulled the boat alongside.

Jiang Mingshun carried Jiang Jinyu onto the boat before he stepped aboard.

"Mingshun, why did you bring your daughter with you?" Just after the busy farming season, some families in the village with little land did not need so many manpower, so the men in the family went to the city docks every day to find part-time jobs.

Jiang Mingshun often stayed with them in the past years, so he asked this question.

Jiang Mingshun found a seat inside and sat down, preventing Jiang Jinyu from getting close to the side of the boat.

Hearing this, he smiled at the man: "Isn't this a move? I have to buy some things."

The man glanced at the backpack next to Jiang Mingshun and found that there was nothing there. He thought it was meant to be used to hold things.

He nodded clearly: "That's how it should be."

Someone who heard what was said here also came over: "Mingshun, uncle Yongsheng gave you a lot of money, right?"

Hearing the ill intentions in the man's words, Jiang Mingshun ignored him and only focused on chatting with the people next to him.

Asking for trouble, the man rubbed his nose and sat back in his original position without embarrassment.

Bullshit?He thought unconvinced, but he dared to be brave in front of him even if he lived in a thatched hut. It would be better if a strong wind blew down the shabby house.

After all, she got up too early. Jiang Jinyu's small body couldn't bear the sleepiness, but she fell asleep while swaying in half a quarter of an hour.

"Fish Girl, we're here." Jiang Jinyu was put on the ground in a daze.

Although her feet were on the ground, she felt like her whole body was shaking.

I slowly took a few steps forward, and then I felt that I no longer felt like the world was spinning.

Jiang Mingshun took the basket and got off the boat. At a glance, he saw his daughter shaking her head like a roly-poly.

He couldn't help but show a fond smile: "Don't worry, it's your first time on a boat, just take a walk and you'll be fine."

After saying hello to the other people who got off the boat, the father and daughter walked towards the wood shop.

It would definitely be cheaper to find a carpenter to do it, but Jiang Jinyu thought, maybe there is a finished product that suits her in the carpentry shop?
After all, all she wanted was a container made of wood. Apart from choosing the size and length, she didn’t have any other high requirements.

Sure enough, after listening to Jiang Jinyu's description, a boy in the shop dug out a long wooden box.When the wooden box was first made, it was designed as a mold for fresh meat, but what it was used for is unknown.

Jiang Mingshun took the wooden box and looked at it carefully, and then under the guidance of the waiter, he broke it open on both sides. As expected, it was easily opened.

"In this way, you can take things out of the box." The man explained beside him.

Jiang Jinyu nodded with satisfaction, pulled her father's sleeves, and motioned for Jiang Mingshun to bow his head.

Jiang Mingshun bowed understandingly and heard his daughter whisper: "Dad, you can buy it. You can negotiate the price with him."

Although the workmanship is pretty good, it is just a plain box with no shape or carvings.

In the end, I bought it for only thirty coins.

If you save a penny, you will make a penny, so the poor man Jiang Jinyu thought.

After leaving the wood shop, the two went to the grocery store.

"Store, do you have any soap?" Jiang Mingshun asked.

"Yes." The grocer took a piece from the shelf inside and put it on the counter.

Jiang Jinyu struggled to lift the counter and looked up, only to see a white corner.

She asked hurriedly: "Shop, I want something colorful!"

Jiang Mingshun also nodded in agreement.

"You have to go to the powder store to get color soap. I only have this kind here," the grocery store owner said, shaking the soap in his hand: "Do you want more?"

Naturally, it was needed, so I spent another 24 cents to buy two pieces of white soap.

The father and daughter stood in front of the makeup shop and looked at each other.

Jiang Mingshun hesitated and didn't want to go in. He just took a look outside and found that there was no man inside.

Jiang Jinyu also noticed it, and she waved her hands towards Jiang Mingshun: "Dad, give me the money, and I'll go in and buy it myself."

"Can you do it on your own?" It's not that he doesn't believe in his daughter, it's just that his fish girl is not as tall as anyone else. Can people take her seriously if she's about to go in?

"Of course," Jiang Jinyu nodded affirmatively, adding specifically to reassure his old father, "I'll ask the landlady for help when I get in."

There was no way, Jiang Mingshun still handed the money to Jiang Jinyu.

Because he didn't know the price of the colored soap, he deliberately took the one tael of silver given to him by Jiang Yongsheng before going out.

Jiang Jinyu took the silver and couldn't help but think happily, it's a good thing she has this, otherwise she might not be able to get so many copper coins.

After entering the shop, Jiang Jinyu looked around and walked straight towards the woman leaning against the counter.

"Sister, do you sell red soap in this store?" She stood one step in front of the woman and asked with a smile.

After hearing the sound, the woman looked down and saw such a little girl calling her sister. She couldn't help but smile: "Yes."

Hearing this, Jiang Jinyu smiled even more happily: "Besides red, are there any other colors?"

"Yes, little sister, do you want to buy it?" She looked behind Jiang Jinyu and asked doubtfully: "Where is your mother? Who are you here with."

Jiang Jinyu pointed toward the door: "Follow me, dad."

The landlady looked out the door and saw a man outside. She leaned over slightly and said, "Little sister, please wait."

After that, he turned around and entered the backyard. A moment later, a woman in her fifties came out.
