Chapter 238: Choosing to Stay
"How do you look like a thief, and sneak around." Jiang Cheng'er yawned and stretched again, sat up and looked at Qinglin.
Li Qinglin scratched his head a little shyly: "I didn't know that you were already asleep, sister, so I came in recklessly, for fear of waking you up, but I didn't expect you to wake up." ”
Hearing Qinglin's words, Jiang Cheng'er couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What wind did you hear outside, seeing you come back with a bitter gourd face, as if someone owed you a silver tael and didn't pay it back." ”
Li Qinglin didn't know that Jiang Cheng'er had already heard the dispute outside while lying on the bed, but Jiang Cheng'er didn't make a sound, she just lay on the bed and listened quietly, just to hear what flowers those people outside could toss.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Qinglin came back, she went straight to her bedroom, and Jiang Cheng'er still thought about closing her eyes and resting after falling asleep.
"Sister, the group of people outside said that we made too much profit in Banlan Root, and they have already decided to take the medicinal herbs to the town and sell them by themselves tomorrow." Qinglin sat at the head of Jiang Cheng'er's bed and looked at Jiang Cheng'er with a displeased expression.
Although what those people said was very excessive, Li Qinglin didn't want to deal with those villagers outside, but despite Li Qinglin's reluctance, the thought that those people originally planned to sell it to his family was going to sell it to his family, and now they had to sell it in the town by themselves in an instant, this kind of taste was naturally uncomfortable.
After all, Qinglin is still just a child.
Jiang Cheng'er touched Li Qinglin's head, and looked at him with doting eyes: "We don't have the big guy to provide us with Banlangen, do you say that my sister and you can still be starved to death?" Since they don't believe that we are willing to take it to the town and sell it, then let them go, we can't stop it if we want to. ”
"However, at that time, we didn't beg to let them sell us to Banlangen, they wanted to sell us by themselves, and now they don't want to blink an eye. How can these people look the same for a while, and when will the words in their mouths be accurate! ”
After Li Qinglin finished speaking, he sighed secretly.
"This is a normal state of life, everyone thinks that the price given by our family is unreasonable, so let them go to the town and sell it themselves, sometimes these people don't suffer a little, then they will always think that we seem to take advantage of them." After Jiang Cheng'er finished speaking, she got up and poured a cup of pear tea and gave it to Li Qinglin, motioning for him to drink it to quench the fire.
In this matter, Jiang Cheng'er didn't want to do anything to save the villagers at all, so she chatted with Qinglin for a few words of relief and relieved his feelings, and then packed up and rested.
In the early morning of the next day, Aunt Fat and Na Liu took the lead to take the villagers to the town to collectively sell Banlan root.
Xiaohua and Song Cuihua came to Jiang Cheng'er's house early in the morning to tell her, Jiang Cheng'er didn't care at all, she was still holding a pot to fry eggs for Qinglin when she got up early in the morning.
Jiang Cheng'er saw Song Cuihua and Xiaohua coming, and hurriedly greeted them warmly: "Aunt Cuihua, you came just right, the two of us just got up and haven't had breakfast, since you're here, you're welcome." Although our family is not too rich, there is no shortage of eggs, so we must have breakfast together! ”
Song Cuihua is already a bold character, seeing Jiang Cheng'er so enthusiastic, Song Cuihua still has something important to tell Jiang Cheng'er, so she didn't refuse Jiang Cheng'er's request.
"Let me tell you, early this morning, I saw the villagers follow the fat sister-in-law and the Liu family to the town together, and muttered that they were going to the town to sell banlan root, Jiang Cheng'er, do you want to think about it quickly!" Song Cuihua looked at Jiang Cheng'er anxiously.
But what she didn't expect was that Jiang Cheng'er would not be in a hurry at all.
Jiang Cheng'er warmed the hot milk and wrapped the leftover steamed buns from yesterday with egg liquid and fried them on both sides to make them golden brown, and then prepared two fried eggs for one person, and then walked out of the kitchen leisurely.
"Auntie, eat it while it's hot, try it and see how my craftsmanship is, and you can eat it quickly, little flower." Now is the time for you to grow your body! Jiang Cheng'er said as she pushed the fried egg in front of Xiao Hua'er.
Xiaohua was a little excited, she directly got up and pulled Jiang Cheng'er's arm and was about to go out: "Sister Jiang Cheng'er, let's not eat, you have to know that if it is a little later, those people will really arrive in town!" ”
Originally, Song Cuihua said this alone, but now even Xiaohua is persuading her so hard, Jiang Cheng'er is a little impatient.
"Okay, let's have breakfast with peace of mind, don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine." Besides, even if I make a difference in the price of Banlangen, how much silver can I make, if everyone can really go to the town and sell it for a good price, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing? I'm in a hurry! After Jiang Cheng'er finished speaking, she pulled out the chair, sat down, and didn't forget to pick up the chopsticks and pick up the fried egg and put it directly into her mouth.
Song Cuihua frowned and looked at Jiang Cheng'er a little incomprehensibly: "Jiang Cheng'er, girl, have you thought that if they really go to the town to sell this blue root this time, won't they sell you herbs in the future?" Silly girl, how can you be so stupid! ”
In the end, Song Cuihua and Xiaohua'er couldn't persuade Jiang Cheng'er to persuade them, so they could only give up in the end.
Li Qinglin sat on the side and snorted coldly: "Hmph, now everyone knows what kind of temper my sister is, I couldn't listen to what I said and persuaded her before, alas, but that's fine." If those folks could really sell it for a good price in the town, they wouldn't bother us at home in the future. ”
"You, hurry up and eat and shut up!" Jiang Cheng'er glanced at Li Qinglin and signaled that he was talking too much nonsense.
In Song Cuihua's mind, she thought that Jiang Cheng'er's heart must be extremely uncomfortable now, and the business from her own family was doing well, but she could also cause trouble, so Song Cuihua and Xiaohua'er stayed at Jiang Cheng'er's house to chat with her all day without going anywhere.
"Sister Jiang Cheng'er, then I'll lose the list that I compiled yesterday, I won't need it anyway." Xiaohua said as she picked up the paper in her hand and shook it in front of Jiang Cheng'er and Qinglin.
Jiang Cheng'er wanted to say something, but she wanted to say it and stopped.
Xiaohua raised her head and looked at Jiang Cheng'er in confusion: "Sister Jiang Cheng'er, what do you want to say?" ”
"It's nothing, I always think ah, you don't have to lose this thing, maybe you can still use it." After Jiang Cheng'er finished speaking, she glanced at Qinglin, and then Jiang Cheng'er pursed her lips and smiled when Li Qinglin was confused.
Everyone doesn't know what Jiang Cheng'er really thinks in her heart now, only Jiang Cheng'er knows that if those villagers can't sell it at a good price when they go to the town, they will definitely come back to Jiang Cheng'er to sell it to Banlangen and then sell it to her.
Sometimes, doing some physical work is not valuable, and silver is naturally more important than wasting physical strength.
However, these words were only in Jiang Cheng'er's heart, thinking about it, she didn't say anything.
At noon, this Song Cuihua shouted that she also wanted to show Jiang Cheng'er: "You haven't been to my house to eat before, hey, the messy stew made by my aunt is delicious, although it is not as exquisite as the food you cooked, but it definitely makes you want to eat it this time after tasting it!" ”
Jiang Cheng'er knew that Song Cuihua and Xiaohua chose to stay because they were afraid that she would be sad.
So Jiang Cheng'er directly pretended that she didn't know anything, and let Song Cuihua toss around in their house.
Before the lunch was ready, the threshold of Jiang Cheng'er's house was about to be broken.
The first person to come to Jiang Cheng'er's house was not someone else, it was the fat aunt.
At first, Jiang Cheng'er was not surprised when she heard someone walking briskly towards her home, but when Jiang Cheng'er raised her head and saw that the person in front of her was a fat aunt, she was surprised.
After all, it was the fat aunt who led everyone to shout and shouted with the Liu family that she wanted to sell it to the town for Banlangen.
What's more, Jiang Cheng'er gave the fat aunt a deflated meal yesterday, according to common sense, how could this fat aunt be embarrassed to come to Jiang Cheng'er's house again.
Jiang Cheng'er didn't raise her eyelids, and chatted with Xiaohua by herself.
The fat aunt threw the burlap bag in her hand directly into the yard of Jiang Cheng'er's house: "I really didn't expect you to have two more hits, and the villagers of our Linhua Village went to the town and couldn't sell this blue root!" ”
Jiang Cheng'er heard the fat aunt's words, she did it on purpose, pretending not to hear it and continuing to chat with Xiaohua.
Seeing this, the fat aunt was very annoyed.
"Jiang Cheng'er, I'm talking to you now, did you hear it?" The fat aunt scolded angrily.
Jiang Cheng'er raised her head and looked at the fat aunt without being in a hurry: "Fat aunt, what do you mean by what you just said so much?" ”
"It's not interesting, you come to weigh and see how much silver I can sell for these banlan roots, I weighed them when I was in the town, and my banlan roots have five catties and six taels! You don't deceive me! The fat aunt didn't care whether Jiang Cheng'er was willing to recycle her banlangen, so she said passionately.
Song Cuihua has been busy in Jiang Cheng'er's kitchen, although she did hear that the fat aunt went to Jiang Cheng'er's house to find trouble, but after all, the fat aunt didn't say anything else, and she didn't want to meddle in this matter.
So from the moment the fat aunt entered the door, Song Cuihua listened quietly in the kitchen.
But Song Cuihua didn't go out, how did the fat aunt know that she was also at Jiang Cheng'er's house.
"I won't accept your banlangen." After Jiang Cheng'er finished speaking, she got up and walked directly towards the back room.
The fat aunt grabbed Jiang Cheng'er's arm and dragged her back stiffly: "Jiang Cheng'er, what do you mean by this?" What is called my banlan root, you don't take it. ”
