When she got home, Yang heard that she had sold thirty-four taels of silver, and she was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses, this watermelon could make more money than her embroidery. With this money, the family can live a good life.

I only sold thirty watermelons today, and there are still a lot of them in the backyard, so if you calculate it, you can sell it for at least a hundred taels of silver, and the Yang family has never seen so much silver.

"Little sister, I bought an extra ten cents and a pound for this watermelon, which is all the credit of Steward Zheng's good words, I will make my own decision and give him ten taels of silver to thank him. Only give this time, and don't give it next time. Uncle Yang explained, worried that his sister would be angry.

Yang smiled and said, "Big brother, it's good for you to call the shots, why do people give us such a high price for no reason, these are all favors." Ten taels of silver is not much, but I know it in my heart. The Yang family knew that the eldest brother would not pit her ten taels of silver, and these silver would benefit others, so that they could sell watermelons better in the future.

"If only you understood." The uncle of the Yang family is relieved, and the younger sister is living a good life, and they are also relieved.

After Du Wulang and Du Balang had dinner, he carried two baskets and went to deliver watermelons to the village patriarch, Li Zheng and a few other acquaintances.

Du Jiumei was idle, so she took it as a walk and digested it, and went with her two brothers.

"Fifth brother, starling brother, are we going to send watermelons to grandparents later?" Du Jiumei asked, to be honest, she didn't have a good impression of that family.

Du Wulang actually didn't want to send it, but his mother explained that it was their own grandfather and grandmother, even if they were bad, as a junior, they couldn't deny their elders, after all, they were their father's parents.

"If you want to send it, we'll send one in when you pass by the mansion." Du Wulang whispered, reluctantly.

"Fifth brother, this won't work. If the people in the mansion saw that we had two baskets of watermelons, they might all carry them into the house. Du Jiumei reminded that she was deeply suspicious of the character of the mansion, especially Du Pozi, that is, the oil and salt did not enter, and it was difficult to be tight!

"Yes, Fifth Brother. We put the watermelon at the entrance of the village and let Xiao Jiu'er watch it, and the two of us took one at a time and sent it over, and finally sent it to my grandparents' house. Even if they wanted more, there was nothing in the basket. Du Hachiro suggested that when dealing with that family, you can't think with ordinary habits.

When Du Wulang saw his younger brothers and sisters say this, he also knew that he was scared by those people on weekdays, and said with a smile: "Okay, just do what Hachiro said." ”

found a flat place on the edge of the woods at the entrance of the village, let Du Jiumei watch, and each of them carried a watermelon to the patriarch and Wang Lizheng's house, and there were still four left in the basket, one for Du Dayong, one for Grandma Sun, one for Aunt Li, and the last one for the grandparents of the mansion.

But just as Du Wulang entered the village, a group of horseback riders came up from the pipeline.

The road at the entrance of the village is that there is a fork in the official road, and Du Jiumei is just on the edge of the fork, and those people can just see Du Jiumei and the watermelon basket in front of Du Jiumei.

These are all big shots, Du Jiumei lowered her head, pretending not to see anything, and kept muttering in her heart: "Can't see me, can't see me・・・・・・"

But it backfired, the four horseback riders actually stopped in front of Du Jiumei, tightened the reins, and a man at the front asked in a deep voice: "How do you sell this watermelon?" ”

Du Jiumei was startled, raised her head suddenly, and took advantage of the moonlight to see that the person who came was actually Ruan Er, who sent them out of the cave that day. The peach blossom brew has been sent over, these ・・・・・・ aren't these people here to kill their whole family, right?

"No・・・・・・ don't sell!" Du Jiumei stammered, she doesn't sell watermelons, but she can use them for free.

Don't say that Du Jiumei is wastewood, these people are too strong, and the big knife on their backs is too scary. With a knife cut down, her life will be confessed here.

"Huh?" Ruan Er was stunned, "Don't sell watermelons, what are you doing here?" ”

Hearing this, Du Jiumei didn't dare to say that she wanted to send it, otherwise these people would say it again, how did she know that they passed by here?

"Sell, sell!" Du Jiumei hurriedly changed her words, "It's all good watermelons, and a few masters can eat them casually." She added in her heart, in fact, she didn't dare to ask these people for money.

Ruan Er took out a piece of silver and threw it next to Du Jiumei, not because she didn't want to throw it in Du Jiumei's hands, but because the money was too heavy, a full fifty taels, and she would hurt this little girl.

"We're going to have this basket too." Ruan Er said with a smile.

"Free delivery, free delivery." Du Jiumei hurriedly said, worried that if she said it too late, the other party would ask for the silver back.

Ruan Er put the two red baskets containing watermelons on his horse, and just wanted to leave, when he suddenly felt as if he had heard this voice somewhere, and asked, "You ・・・・・・ you have seen us?" ”

Du Jiumei's little head shook like a rattle, and said, "I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it!" ”

"Huh? It's true? Ruan Er was interested, remembering why this girl was so familiar.

Du Jiumei judged from this person's tone that this person had already remembered who they were, and said with a bitter face: "I have seen ・・・・・・ seen, we have already sent peach blossom brew, and we have not broken our promise." ”

As if there was such a thing, two subordinates brought him a jar of wine. At that time he had something to do and didn't taste how it tasted.

"I see." Ruan Er got on his horse, and the three people behind him galloped away.

A cloud of dust kicked up in front of her eyes, and Du Jiumei felt for the first time that eating some dust was not a bad thing.

Waiting for Du Wulang, Du Balang sent the watermelon back, and when he saw that the watermelon basket in front of Du Jiumei was gone, he thought it had been robbed, and asked, "Xiao Jiu'er, where is the watermelon?" ”

Du Jiumei held a silver ingot in both hands and said, "The watermelon was bought by the people on the mountain." ”

As soon as he said the people on the mountain, Du Wulang's face was stunned, and he hurriedly pulled Du Jiumei and Du Balang home. I didn't say a word along the way, worried that those people didn't go far.

Back at home, Du Jiumei put the silver ingot on the table, a full fifty taels, several catties. The yellow light of the oil lamp shines on the brand-new silver ingot, which glows with a scorching brilliance, which is a newly dissolved silver ingot.

Yang was startled and asked, "Where did you pick up the silver?" ”

"It's not that we picked it up, it's someone who bought our watermelon and gave it to us." Du Jiumei explained that although four watermelons cost fifty taels of silver, which is too expensive, since they were given, she would not be stupid to refuse in the middle of winter.

"Oh!" Yang rubbed the silver ingot with both hands, his heart seemed to have a bottom, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, I'll keep the money. You two brothers go pick a few more and send them quickly, otherwise we won't send them after you let your milk, even if you don't scold at our door, you will be scolded in the village. Yang reminded.
