Because of the geographical location, there are many merchants coming from the south and the north in the county. Wang Ru saved a bastard who was almost killed by his biological mother. After knowing the name, she felt familiar. This bastard not only killed his legitimate brother, but also got involved in the fight for the throne. In the end, he was defeated and died. He is one of the villains.
Wang Ru only then realized that she had traveled through time to the book and knew that Xue Han was the heroine. After the new year, she began to target Xue Han and the Zhou family.
Zhulan had a toothache and she regretted it so much that she felt like she couldn't breathe smoothly. She was angry at first why the novel didn't specify who became the emperor at the beginning, and then she was angry at herself why she didn't insist on finishing it. Even if she failed, she could still analyze who became the emperor from the subsequent plot!
Zhulan covered her chest with her hands, but it was too late to regret.
Zhou Shuren was very worried about Zhulan's changes, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhulan was afraid that Wang Ru would notice something, "I feel a little nauseous from the bumpy ride. I ate too much for breakfast, so I shouldn't have had an extra bowl of egg cake."
Yes, it was that luxurious. I beat six eggs in the morning and steamed four large bowls of egg cake. There were two large bowls for the table, and each person could have a small bowl.
She has to thank her parents for this. Zhulan felt the pinch of the autumn wind, and she took it very seriously. She brought back fifty eggs, two kilograms of dates, ten kilograms of millet, two kilograms of pastries, half a kilogram of honey, and ten kilograms of pine nuts from her parents' home, all of which were for Zhulan's body to nourish.
We didn’t originally sell the eggs at home, but they laid a lot of them in a day, so fifty more came, benefiting the whole family.
Zhulan didn't realize at all that she had attracted a wave of hatred. Wang Laosi and his daughter were hungry on the ox cart, as they had run out of food at home last night.
Zhou Shuren glared at Boss Zhou, "Don't you see your mother is in pain? Drive the car well."
Boss Zhou, “… .”
He felt aggrieved. The cow was very tired from taking care of the calf yesterday. He didn't dare to drive it today because the ox cart was moving very slowly!
Zhulan felt guilty that Boss Zhou was taking the blame, but then she became justified, saying that it was natural for a son to take the blame for his mother, but she had a conscience after all, "Don't blame Boss, I'm feeling much better now and I want to eat everything."
Zhou Shuren pursed his lips and said, "Eating too much cornmeal is not good for health. Save more fine grains this year and don't eat coarse grains in the future."
Wang Ru pinched her palms in jealousy. She couldn't even have the cheapest wild vegetable cakes to eat, but he actually said in front of her that he would only eat fine grains in the future. Her chest was burning with anger.
Very good, the couple perfectly raised the hatred value. Afterwards, the two who started the conversation talked about food all the way to the county town.
When they arrived at the county town, Wang Laosi could no longer bear it. After thanking Wang Ru, he left quickly with her.
Boss Zhou was unhappy. "I gave them a ride out of kindness, why are you so angry?"
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren looked up at the sky. The weather was really nice today!
At first they didn't notice the hatred, but later they noticed it and realized it was intentional. They didn't want to go back to the village and attract Wang Laosi and his daughter for free.
Zhou Shuren patted Boss Zhou on the head and said, "Stop complaining and go to the clothing store."
Boss Zhou: "... Yeah."
Why did he feel that his parents looked at him as if he was a fool? It must be his illusion!
Although the county town is not big, it is very prosperous as it is an important transportation hub. The clothing stores are very high-end and you can find popular styles from the south. The only thing is that the prices are not very attractive.
When Zhulan left home, she took out twenty-two taels of silver. Zhou Shuren was asked to identify antiques, so his attire was very important. He had to look like he came from a well-known family, but not look too shabby. This would make it easier to deceive savvy businessmen.
The clothes were easy to buy. I bought three sets in total, two for going out to fool people, and one for dressing up as a common scholar. That still cost me eighteen taels!
Boss Zhou squatted at the door of the store with a heartache. He couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't notice that his family had just spent ten taels to buy a cow, and his parents spent another eighteen taels at once, which exceeded the savings he had calculated for the family!
Zhu Lan had a wooden face. Her eldest son's focus was not right. She brought him here without avoiding him this time because she wanted to reveal some of the family's wealth.
Zhou Shuren's mouth twitched, and he must keep his eldest grandson with him in the future!
