Chapter 23
Touching the 500 taels in her purse, Zhiran's depression dissipated a lot, and she walked all the way to the market where grandma and the others set up a stall, while figuring out how to use the money.

I saw a bank on the road and went in to change the silver.Seeing the shopkeeper's questioning eyes, Zhi Ran regretted that she should have asked Mrs. Zou to give some loose money just now, instead of just taking the bank notes for convenience.

"Miss Tang, Miss Tang..."

Zhiran looked back and saw that it was still Kong Yuchen, who raised his legs and left quickly, but was chased by him.

"What's the matter with you? Can you leave me alone? Make fun of me."

Yuchen looked at Zhiran at a loss, and said awkwardly: "I didn't mean that, my mother...we are sincere."

Zhiran raised her eyebrows and looked, Yuchen had an honest and dull look on her face, her face was already flushed after a few words, she was indeed quite honest.

Thinking of the money in her pocket, Zhiran's eyes lit up.Deliberately said: "I won't mention this in advance, but I have something to ask for your help, okay?"

The gloom on Yuchen's face was swept away, and seeing that Zhiran was no longer angry, he immediately grinned and said, "Tell me, what's the matter, if I can help, I will do my best."

"I want to buy some land, but it's not convenient for me to come forward, can you help me deal with it?" Zhiran said with a smile.

"Your brother is the magistrate, this should be easy for you, right?"

Kong Yuchen was startled for a moment, then nodded immediately and said, "Well, I'll help you deal with it."

"I'll give you money now, and I don't know the price of the land, so you can just help me deal with it! I want good fields and paddy fields in Liujia Village."

Yuchen raised his hand to stop Zhiran from giving the money, but felt that the action was a bit abrupt, so he withdrew his hand in embarrassment and said, "No hurry, you can give me the money after it's done."

Zhiran smiled and said, "Alright!"

Yuchen asked with hope in his eyes: "In this case, we will see you in three days, is that okay?"

"Okay, I'll come to you when the time comes." Zhiran agreed happily, thought for a while, and joked, "However, it's best not to show your top cousin and cousin."

Yuchen smiled awkwardly, the two talked about the field again, and Zhiran hurried to the market.

From a distance, I saw the three of them standing there with angry expressions on their faces. The vegetable basket at their feet was already empty, apparently they had been waiting for her for a while.

Tightening the money in her purse, and picking out a bank note and holding it in her hand, Zhi Ran ran over with a smile on her face.

"Grandma, grandma, I've made a lot of money."

Mrs. Cai stretched out her hand to grab Zhiran's ear with a stern face, and opened her mouth to reprimand: "You damn girl, you said this day, where did you go?"

Zhi Ran covered old lady Cai's hand that was pulling her ear, and screamed, "It hurts, it hurts, grandma let go."

Feng Jiao sniggered on the sidelines, and said emphatically, "Now I know it hurts, but I didn't know where it was before! It made us stand here for so long in vain."

The second aunt packed up her things, and comforted her, "Forget it, mother-in-law! After all, Zhiran is still young, you can see that her ears are red because of you."

Thinking of the money in Zhiran's hand, Yang deliberately flattered and favored Zhiran.

Feng Jiao glanced at Yang Shi, "Second sister-in-law, you'd better not say a few words! Mother doesn't need you to teach her to do things, she has her own propriety."

The second sister-in-law was choked by Feng Jiao, her face changed unnaturally, she pulled the corner of her lower lip, and said: "I'm afraid that my mother will feel bad afterward."

Mrs. Cai lightened her hand, looking at Zhiran's flushed ears, ready to cry, she really felt a bit distressed.

He softened his tone and said: "Run around, don't worry about us, if you meet a kidnapper and take you away, it's up to you what to do."

Zhiran pursed her mouth aggrievedly, and took out the ten taels of silver note that she had prepared in advance and the five taels of silver she earned earlier.

She cupped her hands high and said, "Zhiran originally wanted to come back early. Later, when I was selling egg tarts, an aunt was willing to give me ten taels of silver, but she wanted me to teach her how to make egg tarts, so I came back late. gone."

Fengjiao's eyes lit up, and she reached out to grab the money.

Zhiran hid her little hand, and stuffed all the money into Cai's hands, crying aggrievedly: "Zhiran just wanted to exchange more money to buy grandma a nicer dress..."

Cai held the money that Zhi Ran had earned back, with a look of joy on his face, only feeling that it was hot.

On this crowded street, when Mrs. Cai twisted Zhiran's ear and hit her, many people looked at her. Now Zhiran was holding the silver and crying so loudly that it attracted many people's attention .

"What a good boy! How can he do it?"

"That's right, look at how promising this kid is, earning so much money."

"Who says it's not! This child sold a few pieces of pastries early in the morning and earned five taels of silver! If my family had such a capable and beautiful daughter, she would be so precious, why would I be willing to beat her?"

Most of the onlookers were farmers who went to the market to sell things together, and it happened that a few people were here early in the morning, and the things were not sold out so far, so they stayed until now.

Seeing people pointing and pointing, Fengjiao blushed and pulled the embarrassing old lady Cai, "Mom, let's go!"

Cai immediately nodded, protecting Yinzi with one hand, and dragged Zhiran who was still crying with the other, and ran to a place where there were few people.

"Don't cry, it was Grandma who was wrong just now, Grandma shouldn't have done anything to you." When she reached the corner, Cai stopped immediately to appease Zhiran.

Zhiran shed tears on the front of her clothes, her small mouth twitched, she opened her small mouth aggrievedly, her eyes were filled with tears.

"Okay, okay, it's Grandma's fault." Cai's rough hands wiped Zhiran's face heavily.

Red marks immediately appeared on the fair little face.

The pain was so painful that Zhiran couldn't even bring up the strength to cry.

"Grandma hurts..." Zhi Ran said while rubbing her ears, pursing her mouth.

Cai leaned over and exhaled, and coaxed: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, grandma will blow to Zhiran, and then grandma will buy new clothes for Zhiran."

After getting a meal from Mrs. Cai for no reason, Zhi Ran nodded depressedly, and followed her out of the alley.

A group of four people went to the cloth store, and because Zhiran earned 15 taels of silver this time, the four of them bought a piece of cloth each, and Zhiran said that she would buy cloth for Tang and her sister and brother.

Although Cai was not happy, seeing that Zhiran said that she would hand over all the remaining ten taels of silver to her, she immediately agreed.

In the evening, after buying all kinds of daily necessities and weighing two catties of pork, I went back to Liujia Village late at night.

When she returned to the village, she felt that the atmosphere was not right. Zhiran didn't expect that she had only been out for a day, and rumors spread in the village that Tang couldn't help being lonely and stealing people.

Rumors and gossips always have to be fueled by those who spread the word. You pass it on to others, and some people will say with certainty that they saw Tang's stealing people more than once.
