Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 14

Shopkeeper Li took out a purse from inside and handed it to Tong Xiaowu:

"Lending this to you, you're lucky. Usually, if you talk about Gastrodia elata, you can only buy two taels of silver per catty. It just so happens that the county magistrate's mother is recuperating in a hot spring in Ningyue Town. She has a sudden headache and is looking for it all over the town. Gastrodia were not found.

All the pharmacies know about this matter, but they are out of stock. I didn’t expect you to have it in your hand. You are lucky and have courage. I appreciate it. It’s the same sentence. Take it, I will take it from you too. "

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Li!" Tong Xiaowu stared at the little star, tightly hugging the money purse in her arms.

"There is a bank in the town. It is safe and convenient for you to exchange silver for bank notes." Shopkeeper Li suggested.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Li. By the way, shopkeeper Li, my husband has been boned for a month. Can you give him some medicine to heal his wound quickly?" Now that she has money, she needs to take some medicine to heal Feng Yuchen's leg injury .

"It's been a month? Let me prescribe some cucumber seeds for you. It will have a miraculous effect on leg injuries." Then, shopkeeper Li grabbed half a catty of cucumber seeds from the medicine kitchen and handed them to Tong Xiaowu, "This is for you for free. It's not much money, you little girl, I look pleasing to the eye, hahaha..."

Thinking of shopkeeper Wu's disheveled appearance just now, he couldn't help laughing.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Li..."

"Don't call me Shopkeeper Li, call me Grandpa Li, hahaha..." Shopkeeper Li laughed again

After thanking Grandpa Li again and again, Tong Xiaowu left Shengyi, went to the bank to exchange 50 taels of silver notes, and left [-] taels of cash. Now she can't wait to tell Feng Yuchen how much money she earned today, but unfortunately this is ancient times. ,Totally impossible.

She put away her excitement, went to the rice shop, bought ten catties of rice and ten catties of noodles, then went to the butcher shop, weighed a catty of meat, and bought some water oil, the so-called water oil is the oil on the pig's offal. , this kind of thing can produce a lot of oil after frying, and the oil is very delicious.

She bought some miscellaneous things at the grocery store, and seeing that it was getting late, she came to Ningshui Bridge to wait for Liu Er's carriage.

There was also a woman and three girls waiting for the bus. Tong Xiaowu had seen these three girls before, and they were all from Shanshui Village. When she woke up on the first day, they had gone to her house to see the excitement.

A girl touched the girl next to her, raised her eyes, and signaled her to look at Tong Xiaowu, the girl nodded when she saw it, and the two began to talk in a low voice.

"It's her. Why is she in town? Look at her..."

"Hush! Hey! It's a pity that brother Yuchen is such a good person, and it's really unlucky to marry such a woman."

"She's a loser, lazy and greedy, you see she buys so many things, don't you know what's going on at home?"

The two discussed in a voice that Tong Xiaowu could hear, not caring about her feelings at all.

"Hey..." Tong Xiaowu was unwilling, "Talking about others should at least be behind your back, right? I'm standing right here, and you say that about me, am I willing?"

"We can say whatever we want? Don't care about your business!" Chen Meili gave her a blank look, feeling a little resentful in her heart. How could someone like Feng Yuchen marry such a woman?

Tong Xiaowu sneered, shook the basket on her shoulders, and touched her belt, with a proud aura of conquering the country, "I am young, and I will chew my tongue before I find my in-law's house. I will definitely go to my in-law's house in the future." Not a worry-free master, maybe it will make the whole in-law's family restless..."

"Who are you talking about?" Chen Meili yelled with widened eyes.

Tong Xiaowu curled her lips, followed her example, rolled her eyes and said, "I can say whoever I want to say, don't care about your business?"

"you……"

"how?"

On the other side, Mrs. Chen hurried forward, "Let's not say a few words, beautiful, your identity is different from hers, you are one of the best girls in our Shanshui village, it will be different to marry someone in the future, she is not afraid of anything, lying down." We don't have the same experience as a lazy woman who is waiting on the bed for the pie to fall from the sky..."

Mrs. Chen is Chen Meili's mother, she naturally looks towards her daughter, she protects her daughter and glances up and down at Tong Xiaowu, her gaze falls on the basket on her back, she saw it when she was selling fish in the town today:

"The fish you just sold this afternoon, right? You bought such a pile of food just after selling the money, and you can't live at first glance. You will have to live in a new house in the year of the monkey? Fortunately, it hasn't rained during this time..."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chen curled her lips, turned around and ignored Tong Xiaowu again.

Everyone in Shanshui Village doesn't know that the Chen family is one of the richest households in the village, and all three of their sons are doing long-term jobs in the town. The brick and tile courtyard house newly built by the family last year is as good as the house of Li Chang Zhao's family.

Let's look at what they live in, maybe a rainstorm will destroy the thatched cottage, and they are still here to challenge others, and don't look at how heavy they are?
Several people avoided Tong Xiaowu, and Tong Xiaowu didn't bother arguing with them, just when Liu Er's carriage came, she found a good seat and sat down in the carriage.

Along the way, they chatted and laughed, and Tong Xiaowu didn't participate. At the entrance of the village, Mrs. Chen yelled to get off the car:
"Beautiful, have you seen our house? Your sister-in-law should have cooked cooked rice, and didn't your second sister-in-law say to make dumplings for you today? Get out of the car!"

Saying that, Mrs. Chen also took a look at Tong Xiaowu, stretched out her hand and deliberately pointed to a courtyard house in the distance, her face was full of complacency.

Chen Meili was even more happy. Thinking of Feng Yuchen's dilapidated house, she felt that she was several levels above Tong Xiaowu: "Okay mother, by the way, has my cousin heard from the county?"

"Come here, your cousin has opened a large cloth shop in the county, and two days ago, there was a message saying that he would bring you some cloth. With your cousin as a relative, our family wears all clothes Don't come."

Saying that, Mrs. Chen glanced at Tong Xiaowu again, seeing her in tattered clothes, she snorted again.

When the other girls heard this, they happily followed Chen Meili out of the car: "Really? Meili, we will make new clothes for you when the time comes. Can you make me a purse for the leftover cloth?"

"Of course it's ok..." Chen Meili couldn't say how happy she was. Not only did she feel that her family was good, but she also felt that she would definitely marry a good family in the future. When Tong Xiaowu saw her like this, she would have to kneel down to her.

Tong Xiaowu watched a group of people put on a show, ignored them, and entered the village in Liu Er's carriage.

Compared to them deliberately showing off, the silver bill in her arms is what makes her happiest.

Her family lives on the mountainside, which can be regarded as the end of the village, and it was dark when she got home.

Feng Yuchen and Brother Fulin were weeding in the yard, and a large part of the fence was broken, as if it was broken on purpose.

"what happened?"
