Chapter 10

The boss was so annoyed by being entangled, he waved his hand for the last time, and he didn't know what he said, "Okay, okay, if you cut ten feet, I'll give you fifteen coppers."

Li Hongmei smiled with satisfaction, and proudly took out eight copper coins.

"Shopkeeper, bring me a five-foot red-headed rope, a fraction, and I will give you some water as a reward."

The shopkeeper stared at the eight copper coins in front of him, his face darkened, and he was really about to cry.The price of two copper plates per foot is definitely a lot. I was stunned for a long time, thinking how much size she would have to pull, but in the end, it was only five feet!

However, the little woman looked at the shopkeeper standing there stupidly, and actually let out a soft sigh with all her heart.

"Shopkeeper, we have plenty of money, I don't want the half copper coin, don't feel embarrassed, take it, take it..."

Zhao Erya covered her face: Sister-in-law, you treat yourself like a local tyrant!Half a copper coin is a reward.This feeling of a rich man...isn't it wonderful!
Carrying the five-foot red-headed rope, which was obtained at a price of half a day, and lifting her chin, taking small graceful steps, Li Hongmei walked leisurely among the markets.With money in my arms and not tired from walking, this feeling is very wonderful.

"Sister-in-law, the fabric looks so beautiful." Zhao Erya looked at the fabric, and finally at the tailor, her eyes were full of envy.

"Then, let's go shopping for clothes." Li Hongmei raised her legs and walked out to the tailor shop very richly.Another round of haggling over the price made the shopkeeper dizzy with the same haggling, wishing that after this person would leave quickly, Li Hongmei would get the most favorable cost price, [-] copper coins for a piece of clothing.When negotiating the deal, the shopkeeper had only one thought: Village woman, take it and leave.If I don't make any money, I will send you away quickly.

Five sets of clothes, a total of [-] copper coins, Li Hongmei finally fumbled for [-] copper coins, "Shopkeeper, I reward you."

As soon as the shopkeeper heard that there was still a bounty, his bitter face immediately turned into a big chrysanthemum.Didn't you expect this country woman to be quite upright?

However, when he took the string of copper coins and counted them, only one more copper coin was found, the shopkeeper's face turned black.

"Ms. Wuna, you..."

Li Hongmei turned her head and waved her hand vigorously, "You don't need to thank me too much. Although there is a bit more copper, the little woman can still afford it. Take it, take it..." Lifting his chin, he waved his little hand, Looking at that proud back, the shopkeeper's eyes bulged out.

Huang Chengfeng, who happened to accompany his aunt to the store to pick out clothes, watched the whole process, and burst out laughing when he saw the shopkeeper's red face, wanting to get angry but unable to.

"This woman is an interesting master."

The servant who followed Huang Chengfeng shook his head, "This woman is so precious for a copper coin. In the end, the shopkeeper gave her the ready-made clothes at a low cost. She is very good. She is rewarded with a copper coin. A picture of rich and powerful, alas, poor shopkeeper."

Zhao Erya stayed far away from Li Hongmei. Although her eyes were full of little stars, she still felt... so ashamed of her sister-in-law's behavior of a local tyrant!

Clothes, headbands, hairpins, seasonings, quilts, and finally, the remaining five taels of silver were also waved by Li Hongmei's little hand, and all the money was bought for fine food.

The ten taels of silver were replaced by these food and clothing. Zhao Erya looked a little silly, and looked back at her sister-in-law in a daze, "Sister-in-law, these are all ours, our ten taels of silver Gone?"

"It's gone, it's all gone!" Li Hongmei grinned bitterly, sweeping away the high-spirited look before, staring at the pile of goods in front of her with a look of bitterness and hatred.Zhao Erya shrugged her shoulders, thinking, this must be the sister-in-law regretting spending all the money now, alas, ten taels of silver, think about the feeling of that ingot of silver in her hand, it will be gone in a blink of an eye, yes Not very comfortable.

But what she didn't know, what Li Hongmei was thinking at this time was: "There are so many things, how can the mountain path be carried back?"

With her little strength, she can still pant while lifting a rock, carrying so much?
Then look at Zhao Erya next to her, she has thin arms and legs, and she is still a half-grown girl. This is a developing doll, and she can't carry many things on her back...

Impulse is the devil, regret is just these two words.

You said that it is not good to have money, and you have to replace it with food.It's all right now, even if someone else's grain store wants to deliver the goods to your door, but you are on a mountain road, and the horse-drawn carriage cannot pass, and it is impossible for others to transport it back for you manually.

"It's over, we have no money now, and we can't afford to hire someone to transport things back. What should we do now?"

Hearing Li Hongmei's distressed words with a sigh, Zhao Erya, who was afraid to say anything, immediately relaxed. "Sister-in-law, it turns out that you are frowning because you think that these things will not be shipped back. You don't have to worry about that. Isn't it just two hundred catties of grain, I can do it."

Zhao Erya patted her chest to promise, as if it was a trivial matter.

Li Hongmei shook her head, "Your developing body, how can you carry it on your back? You can carry fifty catties if you can't bear it to the sky, and I will carry another eight... eighty catties is a big deal, and there is nothing left. what to do?"

While she was talking, Zhao Erya bent down, holding a sack of grain in one hand, and two bags of grain, and threw it on her back, bent her legs again, and kicked a small bag of flour onto it.The whole three bags of food just fell on the little girl's shoulders.With a weight of almost two hundred catties, she didn't bend the girl down, let alone take a breath...

Li Hongmei raised her hand and rubbed her eyes vigorously, not believing what happened in front of her.

However, Zhao Erya turned her head and smiled at her, "Sister-in-law, you can take the small one with you, I'll go ahead first."

"Ah..."

Seeing Zhao Erya walking away, Li Hongmei finally realized, little Erya, she really carried almost [-] catties of grain!

This is... This is a typical sign of the Iron Lady, a born giant!

As the saying goes, the master is among the people, unexpectedly, unintentionally, there is a peerless folk master hidden beside Li Hongmei...

Seeing such a little girl, Li Hongmei's whole body trembled with excitement, her face was flushed, and her eyes almost protruded from excitement.With such a sister-in-law, do you still worry about what to eat in the future?

"Ah, Erya, wait for sister-in-law, haha, Erya, you are amazing, have you been this good since you were a child? Tell sister-in-law what you want to eat tonight, and I will make it for you when I get back."

Er Ya'er thought for a while, "Well, sister-in-law can figure it out. I haven't eaten a few delicious foods since I was a child. Let's make it at home. My mother made it and then I ate it. I Brother is not picky, and neither am I."

Well, this is really just knowing how to work hard, and not being picky, so it's easy to support and live.

Excited, Li Hongmei was in a state of excitement along the way.

He kept chattering non-stop, and when he returned, he went up the mountain a little faster than he went down.

When passing through many villages, many people were surprised to see the little girl Erya's family carrying such a heavy thing.

"Haha, this is my sister-in-law, how is it, amazing? My sister-in-law, that is a natural supernatural power."

Proudly holding out her chest, she proudly introduced herself along the way, almost without saying, look, how amazing my girl is.

Erya'er had a sweet smile on her sweaty face.

My sister-in-law is proud of her, and she also... likes this sister-in-law so much.

At dusk, the aunt and sister-in-law finally saw the village.

"Huh, Erya, why aren't you tired? God, you're carrying two hundred catties. Sister-in-law is so useless, why are you so tired after walking a few steps?"

Li Hongmei despised herself deeply, and felt for the first time that she was a physical waste.

Tell me, my sister-in-law is such a brave person, why does she have a sister-in-law like her?

After climbing a mountain with a small bag of things, I was so tired that I was sweating all over my body.

Er Ya'er was carrying so many things, although she was panting like a cow, but anyway, she wasn't as listless as she was.

"Hey, sister-in-law, I was born with this. My mother said, let's be the few of us, and the others can't do it. We are good at eating.

He is also born with strength.Oh, no, Xiao San'er doesn't have much strength, which is very strange to say. You can say that our San Xiaoer eats the same way as us, but he just doesn't have as much strength as us. "

Er Ya'er was sighing, when a burst of joyful shouts came from the front.

"Sister, second sister, sister-in-law, are you back?"

Well, this little kid actually ran to the intersection and waited.

Li Hongmei ran a few steps happily, and yelled at Xiao San'er who was running towards the two of them in the distance, "San'er, we are back, sister-in-law has brought a lot of food. Hurry up, follow sister-in-law, there are sweets eat."

Er Yaer laughed.Why do these words sound so familiar?
However, Xiaosan's performance was too tasteless.

After the little guy heard that there was candy to eat, he stopped abruptly.Then he looked up nervously, "Sister-in-law, you said...you said there is candy?"

Li Hongmei stroked her forehead, and took out a pack of candies from the inside of her bag, "Here, I prepared it for you, eat one piece a day, and save all if you have any more. If you are obedient, sister-in-law will buy you candy next time."

Xiao San took a deep breath, and walked forward with big strides, her eyes were flushed.

"Sister-in-law... I, I, I can really eat candy like the tree dogs in the village?"

The slightly revealing question made Li Hongmei really sad.

Patted Xiaosan on the shoulder, "Swallow, my sister-in-law bought candies this time, and later, when my sister-in-law earns money, I will buy you all kinds of delicious food. Let's eat a piece, throw away a piece, and let's eat some sweets later. I don’t envy others, let everyone in the world envy our San’er!”

Xiao San'er nodded solemnly, "Okay, I'll wait for the day my sister-in-law is rich. Let's eat a piece and throw a piece away."

At first, the little erya thought that the sister-in-law was joking.However, as she listened, her eyes also became moist.

Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, what my sister-in-law brought back was nothing more than a few pieces of candy.

However, their family is different.

Since Daddy passed away, the family has never eaten candy again.
