"Cui'er, this is the silver in our family, and I will hand it over to you to take care of in the future, there is not much silver in the family, so I can only grieve you to save some money......"

Lian Qingshan's eyes were full of guilt when he looked at Cui'er, such a look made Cui'er's heart sour, Cui'er's heart had an impulse, and she wanted to say that she was not the step-room she bought, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it again, and she didn't know what to say.

"What grievances are not wronged, we are a family!" Cui'er's eyes were sour, and after only saying this, she turned her head away and wiped away the tears that had been stored up at some point.

Cui'er took a deep breath, what's wrong with herself, she used to work hard in the company, was excluded and framed, she could grit her teeth and get through, not a single tear was shed, how did she come to this ancient time, because of the two words of others, she cried so much.

"Cui'er ......" Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er who turned around and cried secretly, took a deep breath, and pulled Cui'er into his arms as if he had the courage, "Cui'er, don't cry, when my leg is better, I will make money to feed you!" ”

"Well......" Cui'er listened to Lian Qingshan's simple but sincere words, her heart was happy and sour, the injuries she had suffered seemed to be slowly healed at this moment, and the tears flowed more fiercely unconsciously, she cried for a long time, before she raised her head embarrassedly, blinked her big black and white eyes, and said to Lian Qingshan, "There is not much food at home, shall we buy some food from Tunzi, or from the town?" ”

"Hmm...... Go to the town and buy it, there has been no meat in the house for a long time, you can cut a piece of meat and come back. Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er's pointed little face and said with some distress.

Since Cui'er came to her house, she hasn't eaten a few full meals, she eats less and does a lot more, she is busy with life, and her already thin little face is not as big as her own palm.

Thinking that Cui'er not only had to cook and wash clothes at home, but also had to grow vegetables and clean up the house, and also help other people's families organize banquets, so that she could get back some meat and noodles to support her life, even Qingshan's heart was even more unbearable, his eyes fell on the bottom of the kang, and on top of a large stack of wicker baskets that he had braided, if only these could be exchanged for money.

"By the way, what are these wicker baskets for?" Cui'er looked at Lian Qingshan's line of sight and saw these wicker baskets, Cui'er knew that the wicker was very worthless in the backing mountain, because there were willow trees by the stream in the mountains, so could this wicker basket be sold for money?

It's not Cui'er's money fan, even Qingshan's net worth, which seems to add up to more than three taels of silver, although they have changed food, it is not a problem to be able to live for a year or two, but you can't sit and eat empty, right? In Cui'er's opinion, this wicker basket is another way to make money in addition to helping people cook and receiving thank-you gifts.

"In previous years, I hunted prey from the mountains, and used wicker baskets to sell in the town and county. Lian Qingshan said with a slightly wry smile, looking at Cui'er, "If you like it, these baskets are for you, and you can hold whatever you want." ”

"Really?" Cui'er's eyes lit up, looking at these light brown two-foot square baskets, and quickly calculated the price of this basket in her heart, "You say, if this basket is sold, how much is the right one?" ”

"Can this basket be sold?" Lian Qingshan blinked, and suddenly remembered that when he was selling his prey before, those people left happily after taking the basket, maybe ...... This basket can really be sold!

"Look at the way you make a basket a day, we can't sell this basket cheaply......" Cui'er lowered her head and calculated, even Qingshan alone made up a basket a day, of course, because Lian Qingshan was just bored to pass the time to weave the basket, and he was not in a hurry, but also because Lian Qingshan's basket was dense and strong, which was very labor-intensive, and the work was good, and the price naturally could not be cheap.

"Say, how about this basket of ten cents?" Lian Qingshan thought about it for a long time, and finally held back a price.

"Ten cents, I am allowed...... Tomorrow I am not going to the town to buy grain, so I will pick a few baskets and sell them, and if I can sell them, I will sell them, and if I can't sell them, I will use them to pick up grain, and I will pick them back. Cui'er said, as soon as she said it, she felt that it was feasible, and with her three-inch tongue, she would definitely be able to sell the basket.

"Okay, just do as you say!" Even Qingshan looked at Cui'er's excited face, and nodded with a smile in agreement.

With the plan to go to the town to sell baskets and buy grain, Cui'er first went to Aunt Lu's house, and wanted to ask Aunt Lu to go with her, but happened to meet Aunt Chunzhu at Aunt Lu's, saying that she wanted to take advantage of tomorrow's big gathering to pull a few feet of flower cloth to make a dowry for the daughter of the Zhang family, and the three of them hit it off, so they decided to go to the town early the next morning to catch the market.

Cui'er returned home, packed up all the baskets that Qingshan had made up these days, picked them up, and stacked them together in order from largest to smallest, forming two stacks of baskets.

Cui'er looked at a stack of about eight baskets, all round and neat, and she didn't know how to be reluctant to get up. Cui'er looked left and right, no matter how she looked at it and how she liked it, she didn't want to sell these baskets in her heart.

Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er's reluctant little appearance, couldn't help but smile and agreed to her, and then help her make a better set, and Cui'er smiled.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Cui'er prepared the meal for Lian Qingshan that day, took a bite while it was hot, and warmed the meal in the pot.

In order to prevent herself from encountering the enemy of the original owner, Cui'er also deliberately disguised herself, this dress is needless to say, wearing old clothes of coarse cloth, her hair is tied with strips of cloth, and wrapped in cotton.

Not to mention, Cui'er is so drummed up, the original beauty is less than five points, with a thick and long flat pole in front of Cui'er, as well as the two stacks of baskets, she looks like a village woman who has never seen the world.

This ugly appearance has reassured Cui'er a lot, Cui'er's heart is very clear, when a beautiful woman is not protected, but she is the most vulnerable person, now that she is dressed up like this, there are fewer people who can take a fancy to herself, and her heart is much more stable.

Cui'er happily counted a hundred dollars, calculated what she wanted to buy today, greeted Lian Qingshan, picked up two stacks of baskets with a flat shoulder, and hurriedly went to Aunt Lu's house.

The sky was already slightly bright, Aunt Lu and Aunt Chunzhu, plus Cui'er and Aunt Lu's daughter Huazhi, after the four of them gathered at Aunt Lu's house, they set off for the town.
