Ling'er felt even more incredible: "Aunt Wan, she is so blatant, isn't she afraid that others will make trouble with her?" ”

"Trouble, of course I'm going to make trouble with her! I've also gone to look for it, but there are people who support it, and it's useless to make trouble! ”

"Huh? Someone backing up? Who is it? ”

"Well...... Aunt Wan looked outside, and after confirming that there was no one, she leaned into her ear and whispered: "Her brother-in-law is the mayor of our Yamaguchi Town, who do you say is going to provoke her?" ”

"Huh? Mayor? Didn't everyone say that the mayor of our town was fair, honest and selfless? Wouldn't she ruin the mayor's reputation? The mayor doesn't care if he knows? ”

"Shh~~~ Be quiet! I don't know if the mayor is honest and selfless, but if he is really noisy and asks him to call the shots, can he not help his sister-in-law, but help us outsiders? Anyway, she has been running a shop for so long and has deceived so many people, so far no one has dared to do anything to her! Ling'er girl, I'm telling you this for your own good, don't go out and talk nonsense! ”

Ling'er nodded: "I know, Aunt Wan is a good person, she has helped us so much, thank you too late!" ”

"Hehe, what thank you or not, they are all neighbors, just help each other in the future! Alas! Your mother blames me for this, I knew that I should have given you a wake-up call last night, who knew that I was too busy this morning, and I was going to come and talk to you again when I was free in the afternoon, but your mother was pulled by the fox at noon, alas~~~

Ling'er, your mother wore such a set, carried such a big bag, and gave a lot of silver, right? Is there a five-tael? ”

Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking that she guessed correctly, but as long as she wasn't a fool, she wouldn't admit it, "Hehe, Aunt Wan, we just bought a shop, and the family's savings are almost gone, how can there be so much silver!"

But... Alas, there is not much money left in the turnover left by my mother, we originally wanted to open a rice grain shop, and it costs hundreds of dollars to collect grain, and a couple of silver can't collect a few loads, alas, we have to find a way to find an acquaintance to borrow some, or this shop can't be opened, and the more than 20 taels of silver will be spent in vain! ”

Aunt Wan rolled her eyes: "You want to open a rice grain shop?" That's a lot of silver! Alas, it's a pity that I can't make a few pennies in this small business in a month, or I will definitely find a way to make it up for you! ”

Ling'er smiled, looking at her like that, as if she was afraid that she would open her mouth to borrow money, so she said it first! Aunt Wan chatted for a while, until someone came to buy steamed buns, and then hurriedly said goodbye and ran over.

When Ling'er and her father finished cleaning up the shop together, it was already time for the sun to set, and the old lady who had slept got up and changed her clothes, and turned the things she bought from Sister-in-law Kang at noon into a bag and carried it outside.

Ling'er hurriedly stopped her: "Mother, why are you going?" ”

"Alas, Ling'er, my mother just can't figure it out, such two torn clothes cost five taels of silver, I... I...... Alas! ”

"Mother, didn't we just say that this silver should be sacrificed to avoid disasters, and we won't mention it in the future? If you can't figure it out again, just buy this shop for twenty-five taels instead of twenty-two taels? Let's let it pass, let's prepare well, wait for the shop to open tomorrow, let's have a full house, and if the business is good in the future, how much silver can be earned! ”

"How easy is that? Five taels of silver is not a small amount, and in the past, our family may not be able to save five taels of silver if we were busy working for a year! Ling'er, don't stop me, don't worry, I won't quarrel with her, I just said that this dress doesn't fit, return it to her, even if the five taels of silver can't be returned, she has to return something, right? Okay, that's it, I'll go and come back, ah! ”

"Mother, mother! Listen to me! Ling'er grabbed her and told the old lady the news she heard from Aunt Wan in the afternoon, and the old lady was stunned for a long time, and said, "How can this be!" She... She keeps doing this kind of immoral thing, so she is not afraid of retribution? ”

"Definitely, it's not that the time has not come! Mother, our shop will open tomorrow, and that matter will be in the past, don't mention it!

Oh, by the way, I have set the shop plaque at noon, and I bought a few pieces of old furniture, the plaque can be obtained before midnight tomorrow, and then we will open it directly on the edge of the door, and the furniture will be delivered later, just tonight! Now it's just clothes, bedding, pots and pans, and so on! When that's all in order, it's time to start cooking! ”

"Huh? Did you buy furniture? Didn't you say moving from home? ”

"There is not much furniture at home, what do we use when we go back to live, anyway, these are old furniture, they are quite cheap, two beds, two tables, as well as wardrobes, chairs, stools, so many things add up to a total of only 500 Wen, plus the plaque, a total of one or two silver!"

"A tael of silver? Alas, if I don't make a fool, how many things do I have to buy for five taels of silver! As soon as the silver was mentioned, the old lady remembered the five taels of silver that had been cheated! Ling'er was very helpless, but there was no way, except to comfort her, she could only listen!

In the evening, Ling'er asked her father and mother to watch the shop and went back to Wangjia Village alone. In addition to clothes, bedding, pots and pans, I also have to bring my father's herbs and medicine stoves.

I usually don't look at many things, but when I collect it like this, I actually put out four or five burdens! If you carry it yourself, the weight is not a problem, but if a little girl doll carries so much, will it scare people? It was also dark, and it might be dark before she could walk, so she decided to go to the village to find an ox cart.

In the evening, when the villagers come home from work, the doors of every household are wide open to welcome the families who have come back one after another after a hard day, and at the same time, the neighbors like to come to the door at this time when they have nothing to do, because at this time the people are the most together, and the village is the most lively.

Ling'er entered the village and went straight to Xiaohuzi's fourth uncle Wang Jiarong's house. Originally, she wanted to be as low-key as possible, but she walked quickly, and when she saw the villagers hurriedly greeting her, she left quickly, thinking that she would quickly find an ox cart to go to the town, and talk to others less, so as not to be pulled by someone to ask questions again.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, the more afraid of something, the more she is afraid of something, she didn't go far into the village, several people stopped her and asked her where her father and mother went, Ling'er casually said a few perfunctory words, and walked away quickly, but met Xiaohuzi and his mother Fu at the door of Wang Jiarong's house. Aunt Fu grabbed her and said, "Oh, Ling'er, you're back, your father and mother?" ”

"Hello Aunt Fu, Daddy has something to do in the town!"

"The town? Your family didn't come back all day yesterday, are you all in town? ”

"Yes, Aunt Fu, are you looking for Uncle Rong?"

"No, Huzi's father caught two hares last night, I'll send some to Xiaohuzi's grandparents! Ling'er, your family has all gone to the town, and there is no one left at home to watch? I heard that there have been thieves in the village next door recently, your family is in the head of the village, and there are few people who usually go, so you have to be careful! ”

Ling'er smiled: "I know, thank you Aunt Fu, anyway, our family doesn't have anything valuable, thieves can't look down on it!" ”

"That's different, tell you, now these thieves are very bold! It's fine that they can steal something, but it's not the same if they are so busy and they set fire to your house in a fit of rage! ”

"Huh? No way? Doesn't that become a bandit robber? ”

"Alas, it's not! Which of those bandits and robbers has never done anything like stealing chickens and dogs! ”

Ling'er nodded in agreement and looked at the sky: "Aunt Fu, I have something to do with Uncle Rong, so I'll go first!" ”

Before Aunt Fu could answer, a woman came from the alley next to her: "Yo! Isn't this Ling'er? How can you be willing to come back? Didn't you mean your family moved to town? ”

Ling'er was stunned for a moment, turned her head to see, it was Wang Jiarong's sister-in-law next door, Ling'er politely greeted and wanted to go away, the woman went to grab her: "Hey, Ling'er, I heard that your family bought a shop in the town, right?" ”

"Shop? What shop? Aunt Fu was surprised.

Sister-in-law Liu looked at Aunt Fu and was also a little surprised: "Huh? Hu Ziniang, don't you know? I heard that Ling'er's family has taken down the grocery store at the entrance of the town, and they are planning to do a rice and grain business! Is it true, Ling'er? You give us a letter! ”

Ling'er smiled awkwardly, I really didn't know how to answer? Aunt Fu looked at her hesitant look, frowned, and said, "Sister-in-law Liu, don't you listen to it, right?" Last time, Ling'er's family was forced to be like that by the Yan family, and Ling'er had only been home for a few days, how could she have the time to open a shop? Right, Ling'er? ”

"You can't be wrong, right? My mother's yard is on the edge of the town, I heard a young man in the yard say that the grocery store next door to the bun shop at the entrance of the town is going to be changed to a rice grain shop, and the grain will be collected when it opens tomorrow, and the ordinary millet is three wen a liter, three hundred wen a load, cash spot, how much to collect, and every household in the mother's yard is preparing to cut the grain to sell! ”

"Ordinary millet for three cents and one liter? This price is considered high, let's sell it in the market by ourselves, and we can only get this price if we are lucky, and we will sell it for more than a penny in the back, and it will only take a little more than two pennies on average, and it will take a lot of effort! But Sister-in-law Liu, how do you know that the rice grain shop was opened by Ling'er's family? ”

"Hehe, the news that the kid is familiar with the proprietress of the bun shop, people say it clearly, the new owner of the shop lives in our Wangjia Village, surnamed Yang, there are three people in total, the two old ones are in their fifties, and the younger one is a seven or eight-year-old girl, who is this not the Ling'er family in our village? Right, Ling'er? ”

Ling'er laughed noncommittally twice, and sister-in-law Liu said again: "Alas, Ling'er, your father and mother are really, our villagers, it's a good thing to be able to open a shop when you have money, tell us, let's also go to the market to take care of the business, right?" Why are you hiding it? I'm afraid we're going to borrow money, aren't we? ”

Ling'er smiled awkwardly, she had long expected that the people in the village would react like this! You must know that your family has always been the poorest and poorest poor household at the bottom of Wangjia Village, and you often need everyone's help to barely survive.

But now, my family is suddenly getting better, not only do I not need people's sympathy and charity, but I have saved money to buy a shop, what a big deficit is this? There are more people with imbalance in their hearts, and I don't know how many ugly words there are, this is just the beginning!

Ling'er sighed lightly, since she had to come sooner or later, she simply admitted it generously, she smiled and said: "Aunt Fu, Aunt Liu, it's not that we deliberately hid it, it's really because it came suddenly, my father and mother are old and frail, and can't work in the fields.

We really want to turn that shop into a rice grain shop, Aunt Fu, Aunt Liu, if you have grain at home, you might as well ship it tomorrow, and your father and mother will definitely give you a good price!
