Susheng walked out of the room and left the inn with Sumu.

As soon as they walked away with their front legs, Qi Shuheng was carried in with his back legs.

"Zhaoping."

Shen Yu was still thinking about what Su Sheng said. She came back to her senses when she heard the voice, "Little uncle."

Listening to her grievance and choking voice, Qi Shuheng swallowed the word "nonsense" back into his stomach.

"come over."

He waved to her.

Shen Yu didn't hesitate, walked up to him and knelt down: "It's Zhao Ping's fault that made you worry."

Qi Shuheng touched her head and looked at her neck. He was relieved when he found that there were no marks.

Maybe he was overthinking.

"I'm fine, uncle. A maid saved me. She helped me hide in the dog official's house for a few days and even gave me food."

Zhao Ping lowered his eyes, "I originally wanted to rescue her, but unfortunately, when I escaped and took grandma back, Ling Xiangren had already been beaten to death."

The story is made up, but the people are real.

Zhao Ping acted well, making the process of the maid rescuing her seem real, and coupled with her red eyes, Qi Shuheng was instantly deceived by her.

Qi Shuheng asked Yuan Qi with his eyes. After learning that there was indeed Ling Xiang, he did not go into details further.

"I will let Yuan Qi bury her properly later. If she still has family..."

Zhaoping interrupted him and changed the subject: "She was sold in. Even if she has a family, she is not worthy of compensation. By the way, uncle, I want to go to Sister Susheng's house for a few days. She said, you know her where to live."

"This may not work. Miss Su's house doesn't have any extra room for you to live in. But I have a house in their village, and you can come and live with me. But, before that, you first tell me how you met her. of?"

Zhao Ping pretended to be unreasonable and said: "It all started on a rainy day..."

Qi Shuheng looked at her serious expression, his attention being directed by her the whole time.

……

East Market.

The warm sun shines on the busy market. Bustling vendors and footmen gather in the market, and the sounds of hawking are heard one after another.

"Sister, go this way."

Su Sheng was pulled forward tightly by Su Mu.

Through the crowd, they arrived at the pier on the shore.

On the dock, there is a medium-sized cargo ship unloading goods.

Busy workers moved bags of grain to the ship and stacked them in the cabin.

"Su Mu! You kid, I thought you took the money and ran away!"

A man wearing a torn straw hat rushed over and grabbed Su Mu's arm.

"If you don't come, I will take people to your house to find you. Come here, there happens to be a lot of goods to be moved today."

Su Sheng's eyes were slightly cold, staring straight at the man's hand.

"I'm here to resign today." Su Mu frowned and tried to get rid of him: "Didn't you agree that I would consider it tomorrow? I haven't promised you yet."

The man held him tightly, "I don't care about this. I agreed to work for six months after I got the money. I tell you, you can't leave today."

"Let him go."

Seeing that it didn't work, Su Sheng simply grabbed the man's wrist.

She exerted a little force and said with a sinister look in her eyes: "Don't you understand human language? My brother said he won't do it and I will give you back your wages."

"I gave him the money, but he said he wouldn't do it if he didn't want to do it. How can there be such a good thing in this world!?"

The man was in pain, so he waved Susheng's hand away with all his strength, turned his head and shouted: "Stop, all of you, come here!"

Soon, a dozen strong men gathered around.

Su Mu protected Su Sheng and stepped back: "I didn't sign or deposit anything with you. I only said that I would consider continuing to work with one month's wages in advance. If I don't work, I would refund the wages. I am justified in bringing this matter to the government."

Su Mu took out his money bag and took away twenty coins.

"You deliberately failed to memorize many of my packages before. The twenty coins missing here should be regarded as your replenishment for me." Looking at the people approaching step by step, Su Mu rolled his eyes and said: "Zhang Tou, you Could it be that you haven’t given them the wrong money yet?”

Everyone stopped and asked, "What money?"

Zhang Tou took the money bag and panicked before he started counting.

"Whatever the money is, if you don't want to do it, don't talk nonsense here!"

He pushed Su Mu and the two of them, "Get out of here quickly!"

Su Sheng raised her hand, and just as she was about to make a move, Su Mu kicked him away.

"What kind of money can I get? I decided not to do it until I found out he was falsifying accounts. Tell me, Lin Qiang, with his physique, can carry at least a hundred bags a day, right? But as for him, he always gives me a lot of credit." More than a dozen bags, and what’s more, he takes two account books every day, with different numbers on them, isn’t it just to make money?”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was unhappy and started arguing.

Lin Qiang, who was mentioned, directly grabbed Zhang's head, found two account books on the other party's body, and asked him to give an explanation.

"Let's go." Su Mu pulled Su Sheng away from the place to avoid being affected.

Returning to the market again, Su Mu took Su Sheng to buy things.

The hundred taels of silver that the family split up were all in Susheng's hands.

Su Mu only had the eighty-two-five hundred coins that Suxiao and Sumo had given him.

Although they moved a lot of things from one house to another, they still had a lot to buy this time.

Rice, oil, noodles, salt, bowls, plates, chopsticks, spoons, pots, lunch boxes, scalding bottles, etc.

Except for salt, which is sold by the government, everything else is sold to several stores.

Because I shopped around and bought affordable items, I had a lot of money left after buying them.

Su Mu held the salt and touched the money bag, "They will help deliver the remaining things home. Come on, brother will buy you two more sets of clothes."

Susheng followed him obediently the whole time.

As soon as she entered the cloth shop, Su Mu took a fancy to a piece of exquisite silk cloth.

"How about this? This color suits you."

He put it on Su Sheng's body to compare, "Do you like it?"

red. It's still her favorite color.

Susheng looked down and replied sincerely: "I like it."

"Then this is it." Su Mu asked about the price.

The price is always 500 coins per horse.

After bargaining, the final price was always 300 yuan.

"I'll ask Aunt Wang to make it for you when you go back. It only costs fifteen cents for Aunt Wang to make clothes."

Su Mu neatly gave the money and said with a smile: "This one should be able to make two long skirts."

This is the most expensive thing I bought today, more expensive than that pot.

Su Sheng secretly clicked her tongue.

Seeing Su Mu selecting hard-wearing linen, she couldn't help but frown.

She walked over and picked out four pieces of cotton, "Third brother, let's buy this, two green and two blue. It's time for you and the eldest brother to change into new clothes."

Cotton cloth is more popular in Daqing Country and the price is moderate, but it is still more expensive than linen cloth.

Su Mu was short of money, but gritted his teeth and asked the shopkeeper for the price.

"Three hundred coins for linen and five or six hundred coins for cotton. If you sincerely want to buy these four cotton cloths, I can give you a little less and give you two coins together. Do you want the linen cloth? I That’s two hundred and eighty cents for you.”

Su Mu thought about it and bought it.

It's just that this time after he gave the money, he didn't choose to pay for it to be delivered to his door, but carried it in his hand.

"Let's go, sister."

Su Mu felt a little sore, and she didn't blame the villagers for wearing patchwork clothes all year round. These clothes were really expensive.

It would be good to have enough food all year round. When he was a child, when winter came, he would hide under the quilt naked and wear a big cotton-padded jacket in turns to go to the toilet.
