Chapter 25: Sick?
Zhao Xiaohe's kindness to Zhao Ling just now was actually based on this business.
The sister-in-law in my impression has always been lazy and even bitter, and Zhao Xiaohe never expected her to change.
Even now, the two are in business together, and Zhao Xiaohe doesn't have much hope.
It's just that with the idea that he has taken advantage, thinking that he can stop the other party once, at least don't let the Qi family fall into the fire pit again.
But now it seems that her sister-in-law has really changed a lot.
Zhao Xiaohe remembered what Zhao Ling said last night, and now looking at the honesty in Zhao Ling's eyes, his heart couldn't help but waver.
In fact, there are still risks associated with doing so.
Zhao Ling can cross the river and tear down the bridge, give her out after earning money, and then hand over all the money to Mrs. Zhao, and she will be beaten again.
But from then on, she will probably never get along with this sister-in-law.
Even if she came, she was coerced like before, but she would never do anything for the other party.
As for the other party, after using her, there will be nothing less when she gets money.
But Zhao Xiaohe wanted to gamble again, and felt that the current sister-in-law was different from before, and she could see a different demeanor just from those eyes.
If the bet is right this time, maybe there will be new cooperation between the two in the future?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaohe raised his head and looked at Zhao Ling, and then said, "Okay, then follow what my sister-in-law said." ”
Zhao Ling smiled and said softly: "Okay, go in and buy it." ”
The aunt and nephew entered the shop and went straight to the plain cloth.
These pieces of cloth look very ordinary, probably last year or the year before last, and now the price is basically cut by half.
Zhao Ling bought a few feet for Mrs. Zhao, thought about it and bought a few feet for Old Man Zhao, and finally asked the boss to send a few beautiful head flowers.
In this way, all the money in her pocket was emptied, and Zhao Xiaohe also helped her add a few pennies.
Zhao Ling couldn't help but sigh: "It's really easy to spend money, but it's hard to make money." ”
Zhao Xiaohe listened, glanced at Zhao Ling, thought about it and encouraged: "My sister-in-law is smart, she can make money this time, and she will definitely be able to earn it next time." ”
Zhao Ling laughed and said, "Okay, then borrow your auspicious words." ”
The two of them bought good things and put them in the basket respectively, and after Zhao Xiaohe's basket was opened, the most eye-catching thing was the black cotton cloth with a good material.
But Zhao Ling just caught the tail of his eye, so he pretended not to see it and stepped over his face.
Zhao Xiaohe glanced at Zhao Ling nervously, and after seeing Zhao Ling's calm expression, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two returned to the ox cart with the basket on their backs, but there were a few more people in the cart, and two were from Hexi Village.
It was probably rare for them to see Zhao Ling, and they were surprised when they saw each other carrying something.
After Zhao Xiaohe greeted politely, he found a corner and sat down. Zhao Ling sat down next to her and didn't speak.
The ox cart left the town, and after walking halfway, someone finally couldn't help asking: "Xiao He, ...... The town where you came with your aunt? ”
Zhao Xiaohe had something in the basket, and he didn't want to be discovered, so his response was also indifferent and detached.
She only said "um", then turned her head and pretended to look at the roadside scenery, which made the woman who spoke uncomfortable.
After an awkward moment of silence, the woman looked at Zhao Ling again and asked, "The lady of Qi Xiucai's family seems to be riding an ox cart for the first time, right?" ”
This is full of irony.
Zhao Ling looked at her, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, the ox cart is comfortable to sit on, interesting." ”
Uncle Niu laughed when he heard this, and after finding out that the speaker was Zhao Ling, he hurriedly closed his mouth after realizing it.
The woman looked at the bamboo basket beside Zhao Ling, and her eyes went straight inside: "In the end, it is a Xiucai family, with a thick foundation, and it can still buy such things after such a waste." ”
The tone was sour, as if he wished that she would take Zhao Ling's place.
Zhao Ling just smiled and didn't speak, but the old Uncle Niu in front of him nagged: "How can Qi Xiucai's family still have a foundation?" What happened today is the money from these two girls selling things. ”
The woman's eyes widened and she wondered, "Selling something?" What to sell? ”
Uncle Niu said happily: "Wash ...... Shampoo, yes, that's the thing. A can of twenty wen is not cheap, but many people in the town buy it, if this is left in our village, who is willing to spend money to buy this thing? ”
The price of a can of twenty wen instantly hit the nerves of other people on the ox cart.
A few people have heard the word "shampoo" mentioned on the street, and they can't help but interject and ask, "What kind of shampoo is it sold by your aunt and nephew?" ”
Zhao Ling glanced at her and didn't answer.
Xu is everyone knows that Zhao is not easy to mess with, so he simply went to the good-tempered Zhao Xiaohe: "Xiaohe, don't you see that this girl of yours has this ability?" What does that shampoo you sell? ”
The person who asked the question stared at Zhao Xiaohe, Zhao Xiaohe didn't want to say much, but he couldn't get over it with a thin face, so he could only say in a muffled voice: "It's to wash your hair." ”
"Wash your hair?" The man asked, "Isn't it enough to wash your hair with honey locust?" ”
Zhao Xiaohe had to say vaguely: "It's about the same." ”
But her attitude made several people scratch their hearts and lungs curious.
Just as he wanted to continue to ask, Zhao Ling's face suddenly changed, and his hands tightly clasped the wooden cart and tilted towards Zhao Xiaohe.
Everyone was taken aback by her sudden movement, and Zhao Xiaohe was even more shocked: "Sister-in-law? What's wrong with you, sister-in-law? ”
Old Uncle Niu hurriedly stopped the ox cart when he heard the sound and looked back at Zhao Ling.
I saw that the young woman, who was still in good shape, was now pale and sweaty.
I don't know if it's because of the pain or something else, her hand holding the wooden cart is even a little white and blue because of the extreme force. Even the lip that I bit unconsciously burst out of blood.
That kind of pain was devastating, overwhelming, and made Zhao Ling suffocate and couldn't breathe.
But I don't know if her physique has improved, or if the system is just trying to torture her, no matter how painful she is, she maintains a clear consciousness.
Zhao Ling couldn't fall asleep, his eyes were even wider, and there were thin red bloodshots.
From Zhao Xiaohe's point of view, she is almost a devil with cracked eyes and a hideous face.
Zhao Xiaohe was scared and helpless, his eyes were red, but he still held on to Zhao Ling.
The people on the ox cart were so frightened by Zhao Ling that they didn't dare to move, but Uncle Niu was bold and hurriedly greeted a few people: "This lady of the Qi family looks like she is sick, let's hurry up and carry it to the hospital, what if something happens?" ”
Several women who were in the same car were afraid to get out of the car and avoid them, for fear of getting involved with them.
Uncle Niu had no choice but to say to Zhao Xiaohe: "You are optimistic about your sister-in-law, I will drive the car to the town again, let's go to the doctor and take a look." ”
Zhao Xiaohe was about to agree, but Zhao Ling opened his eyes suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "No...... No! ”
