"Miss Shen, it's not that I don't trust you, I'm just curious, your money..."
Zhang Eryong didn't know what to say next, he wanted to ask Shen Ruolan where the money came from, but when he got to the point of speaking, he felt that it was not good to ask such a question, as if he suspected that the source of the money was unknown.
After living for two lifetimes, Shen Ruolan could naturally see what Zhang Eryong was thinking, and she took the initiative to say, "Brother Zhang wants to ask me where I got the money from?"
Zhang Eryong didn't speak, just looked at her and lowered his head. Although he didn't answer her clearly, his eyes clearly meant 'yes'.
In fact, it's not his suspicion. Anyone would think too much. In the morning, she was a little poor with no money. She could come up with so much money just by walking around the city. She hadn't been an official. She has no relatives, no friends in business, and no special abilities in her stature. Such a person, who has so much money all of a sudden, can blame others for being suspicious of her
Shen Ruolan smiled, and said solemnly: "I exchanged all these silvers with ginseng."
She had already figured out how to explain the origin of the money.
First of all, you can't tell the truth, because you can't explain the origin of the two seasonings. Instead of being interrogated and suspected, it's better to tell a simple lie and cover up the truth.
Secondly, her panic must be convincing, so that people can believe it is true without any doubt.
Apparently, she did.
Her home is at the foot of Crouching Dragon Mountain. It is completely reasonable that she went up the mountain to dig ginseng by chance. People who heard about it would only envy her luck and would never think otherwise.
Zhang Eryong believed her words, put aside the doubts on his face, took the money and said: "Miss Shen is really lucky, many people have been searching on the mountain all year round, but they haven't dug up good ginseng."
Since she was able to come up with eight qian at once, it proved that her ginseng was sold at a high price, otherwise she would not have so much money.
Shen Ruolan heheed twice, and said with a calm expression: "Yes, I was lucky. I dug two trees at once. Today I only took one to try. I didn't expect the price to be quite fair. In a few days Take that tree and sell it."
This sentence means that I also have the part of the money that I owe you, but I will give it to you a few days later, so you can put your heart in your stomach.
Zhang Eryong understood what he said, and said: "Miss Shen, I originally planned to sell this sheep for one tael or eight renminbi, but we are neighbors, so I will charge you one tael or seven renminbi, and you don't have to rush to pay back the rest. , give it to me a year ago."
Shen Ruolan was really touched by giving her a penny cheaper all of a sudden.
You know, one penny is worth one hundred Wen. For farmers, one hundred Wen is not a small amount. It can buy a lot of things. It's been a month!
Shen Ruolan glanced at Zhang Eryong, feeling that this silly boy who doesn't talk much is really sincere.
He didn't know that she had eavesdropped on the price he set for the wild sheep. If he played tricks on the ground and raised the price now, he might be able to increase the price by one or two hundred coins, but instead of doing that, he still kept it as before. The psychological price is one hundred cash less, so it can be seen that this person is not blind to money.
After evaluating his personality, Shen Ruolan felt more at ease with him, "Brother Zhang, I have one more thing to trouble you."
Zhang Eryong said: "What's the matter, let Miss Shen talk about it."
Shen Ruolan waved her stalk-like little arm: "You can also see that I am not in good shape, and when we go back later, I will not be able to bring this sheep back from Taohua Village to our village alone, you see , can you help me take it home."
"Also, I don't want people to know that I bought the sheep, lest they ask this and that. When you get in the car later, can you not tell people that I bought this sheep, that is, when it arrives in our village, you Also go to my house quietly, don't let anyone see you, okay?"
"good!"
Zhang Eryong agreed without hesitation.
Shen Ruolan smiled: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, then I'll leave this sheep with you first..."
…
After paying eight qian, Shen Ruolan only has more than one hundred coins left on her body. Hey, this money is really worth spending!
Shen Ruolan sighed with emotion, and then she felt rejoicing, fortunately, she had already thought about how to make money next, otherwise, with the speed at which she spent money, she would starve to death sooner or later!
The plan to make spiced peanuts had to be put on hold for the time being. Through the journey to Taohua Village this morning, she understood that her physical fitness could not do heavy physical labor for the time being. Spiced peanuts make money by quantity, and she wants to earn money for a day No matter what, she has to make a hundred and eighty catties of peanuts. With her current physical condition, it is difficult for her to carry one hundred and eighty catties of things, not to mention deep processing of one hundred and eighty catties of things, it is better to make some money first. Qian'er, build up your body and work hard again!
Because the plan to make five-spice peanuts was put on hold, she didn't buy any more peanuts, and she didn't spend the remaining one hundred yuan. There are still ten days before she makes money next time. Who knows what will happen in these ten days? If something happens, it’s good to have some money by your side, otherwise if something happens and you don’t have any money or not enough money on hand, how anxious you are!
…
Soon, it was time for the return trip, and Shen Ruolan, who had returned with a full load, sat back on the carriage, and the people who came with her also came back one after another, most of the poles and baskets on her body were empty.
Because the money was sold, everyone was in a good mood, especially those who were envious of Zhang Eryong. When they saw that his sheep had not been sold, they were inexplicably cheered up, and their voices were also very loud. I went back to Taohua Village with a smile, as if I didn't feel tired at all after a busy day!
People are like this, they often like to use other people's misfortune to set off their own luck. Although they are also unfortunate, as long as someone is less sexual than them, they will have a psychological superiority. It really runs through the past and the present!
Along the way, Shen Ruolan pretended to doze off and didn't say much. When Taohuacun opened her eyes, she saw that it was completely dark.
When they arrived at the station, everyone got out of the car one after another, and Shen Ruolan also climbed down. Standing on the side of the road, looking at the dark village road, her heart suddenly rose.
This black light is blind, he won't meet bad people, right
Or, wouldn't there be wild beasts running around the village at night to look for food
She was beating a small drum in her heart, extremely uneasy.
It's not that she was timid, but in her previous life, she would not be afraid even if she was asked to go up the mountain at this time. In her previous life, she was a brave people's policeman. Although she was only a small policeman in a township police station, her skills It is still very frightening for gangsters, judo, karate, Sanda, everything is good, walking at night or hitting a few hooligans is not a problem at all.
It's a pity, today is not what it used to be, now she is no different from Lin Daiyu who collapses when the wind blows, the only difference is that she was entrusted to be born in the Hou Men's government, she can stretch out her hands to eat, open her mouth, and talk about love in her spare time , hurting the spring and sorrowing the autumn; and she was born in the kennel, and from the day she came through, she had to run around for her stomach.
This is probably fate!
