In the upper room of the Chu family compound, Chu Baofeng was sitting in front of Mrs. Du after having dinner.

"Mom, that bitch bought chicken and meat today, but she didn't even send any to dad and you. It's really too much!"

After Mrs. Du took care of Chu Youwen's matter, she took out the thirty taels of white money before she could warm it up. She was already in a bad mood, and she became even more unhappy when her daughter said this.

"Eat, eat, eat, you'd better choke them to death! People are coming to your door today to press for debts, and they still have spare money to buy big fish and meat! There will always be times when they cry!"

"Mom, that's not what I want to say. They bought a big cart of stuff today, and it will cost at least five or six taels if they add it up. Didn't they just give them three taels when the family broke up? Where did they get the money from?

Come? Could it be that the county lost money and they hid it?"

When Mrs. Du heard what her daughter said, she felt it made sense, so she got up and wanted to ask for an explanation.

Chu Baofeng quickly grabbed her, wondering what to do if she fell.

"Mom, it will get dark and you won't be able to see the road for a while. It's better to wait until tomorrow morning. At least you need a few aunts to accompany you."

When Mrs. Du heard that it made sense, she suppressed the idea forcibly.

"The food cooked at my second brother's house tonight looks like pig food, it's so unpalatable! You're going to cook two eggs with sugar syrup later, and we two will satisfy our cravings first. When I get the money tomorrow, I'll buy you something delicious."

The village mother-in-law caressed her daughter's hand lovingly.

"Mom, I also want a summer coat. I haven't bought any new clothes this year. Also, Cai Die bought a new butterfly hairpin. It's very beautiful. I also want my mother to buy me one."

"Okay, okay, your elder brother's matter has finally been settled. As long as you have income, mother will buy it for you! My daughter will dress up more beautifully, and my face will look brighter! As long as you remember that mother is good to you." Mrs. Chu.

Said lovingly.

"My mother will always be my mother. If I don't remember how good my mother is, who will I remember?"

Over at the old house, Mrs. Ye was taking advantage of the light to clear away the dishes and chopsticks. When she saw her daughter playing with the pile of cornstarch, she must have remembered something.

She took out more than ten copper coins and said: "You just left in the morning, and someone came behind you. He said his surname was Xu. He made an appointment with you tomorrow at some elegant teahouse in the county. He also gave my mother twelve coins, saying it was

Isn’t it only two cents for carriage and horse fare to go to the county?”

When Chu Congrong heard this, he roughly understood what was going on. Who else could it be besides the wealthy brother? It was two cents for one way, and there were three of them, including myself and the twins, and twelve cents for a round trip. It is rare for a rich dandy to be considerate of others.

, and it’s very thoughtful.

Alas, since he is so generous, he doesn't give a few more pennies. At least he can buy the two brothers a bun or something if they are hungry.

"Daughter, you went to town and I didn't see you asking your mother for money, but you bought so many things and even brought ginseng to your father! Where did you get all this money?"

With the help of ginseng, Mrs. Ye was of course happy. But she racked her brains and couldn't figure out how many taels of silver the three little kids could earn in a day, unless her daughter could turn stone into gold! The origin of this silver was unknown.

, I always feel uneasy when I spend it.

"Mom, they say this is what the three of us earned together, what are you worried about?" Chu Congrong was distracted, she was busy making a kind of food.

"You are my daughter, can I not worry about it? I'm afraid that if you do something bad, you won't be able to find a good husband in the future." Ms. Ye shook her head and smiled bitterly. Her daughter has never seen this disease since she got it.

Got through her.

"I'm not even twelve yet, and you're trying to push me out! Do you hate my daughter so much?" Chu Congrong said.

Ye was stunned, how could this be annoying? It was too late to feel heartbroken.

The family was kicked out by the father-in-law and the mother-in-law, so they were allotted such a small amount of land. They had to wait until autumn before they could farm. How could they live in these few months? The husband was sick, the uncle was disabled, and the children were young, so Sanlang was barely an adult.

I really don’t know where the future lies!

If it weren't for her daughter who took the initiative and moved a lot of things to the house, she, as a village woman who had never even left the village, would definitely not have been able to carry it. It ranged from water tanks to bowls and chopsticks, and was as expensive as ginseng.

Wait, nothing is earned by this weak girl. You know, she is not yet twelve years old and she just escaped from death not long ago.

"Mom, I still want to ask you, do we have any relatives in our family?" Chu Congrong asked when he saw that she was distracted.

Ye replied: "Yes! What's the matter?"

"I was very ill and almost died, and no one came to see me. I didn't see anyone come for almost a month after I recovered. Now that my father is in trouble, and there are major events like family separation, no one comes to see me. On the contrary, my neighbors in the village are sending food and helping.

Yes, it’s true that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It’s okay not to have such relatives!”

Mrs. Ye quickly explained: "You have an aunt who married far away and lost contact with the family a long time ago. There is also a grandma and three uncles on my side, living in Dawang Village in the mountains. You know your mother's temperament,

Therefore, relatives are reluctant to come. They are having a hard time, and they come empty-handed to make them unhappy. They always think that they are here just for food." Ms. Ye still couldn't change her mind.

Chu Congrong immediately understood that according to Mrs. Du's character, if anyone came without a gift, she would definitely criticize her. It was no wonder that her relatives were reluctant to interact with each other.

"Mom, if I have money for you, can you guard against the little grandma?" Chu Conongrong doesn't care much about trivial matters, and she doesn't want to take care of the house, but she is worried that Mrs. Du will take it away from her because of her soft temper.

"I... at most I will ignore her!" Ye's confidence was obviously lacking. After all, she had lived in the shadow of Mrs. Du for more than ten years, so it was impossible for her to harden her waist all at once.

"When you are scared and weak, just think about your father. If you don't have money to treat him, he will be paralyzed for the rest of his life! Also, your twin sons will be sold into slavery, and your daughter and I may also be sold to a blind widower or something like that. In the future,

Life will be dark...so you can be strong."

"Mom, I promise you, I won't let others bully you again!" Chicken Soup for the Soul was indeed effective, and Ms. Ye spoke with great energy.

Well, since my mother is so motivated, I should encourage her. Chu Congrong only had two taels of silver left on her, so she simply gave her two taels, leaving only six taels for self-defense.

Ye's hands were trembling when receiving the money. Could it be that her daughter could perform magic tricks to produce money?

"There is no shortage of rice and noodles at home. You can use these two taels of silver to buy chicken and make ginseng soup for dad to drink. Make sure it is uninterrupted every day. The rest can be used to buy some meat and vegetables for everyone to eat." Chu Congrong explained to her, which was considered to be right.

It was a test for her to see if she could guard against Granny Du.

After collecting the money, Mrs. Ye saw her daughter busy and said distressedly: "What are you doing? Mom is here to help you?"

"Don't tell mom yet, I'll teach you later!" Chu Congrong gave up.

Mrs. Ye thought that her husband was waiting for her to take care of her, so she let her go. She just told her that the remaining tofu was soaked in water. Aunt Niu said that it would be fine if it was left for two days.

Chu Congrong thought for a while, and since the tofu wouldn't go bad, he would wait until he came back tomorrow to deal with it.

I haven't finished the things at hand now, and I may have to work very late after finishing them. Moreover, I have to meet the rich man tomorrow, so I have to clean myself up tonight. Otherwise, how can I attract investment if I am so stinky?

Sure enough, he was busy until midnight. Chu Congrong felt that he was almost exhausted, so he barely finished the work. However, he was slightly pleased to see his results. The two dustpans were filled with small round beads of white and brown colors. He thought to himself

At this temperature, it should be ready to use tomorrow morning if it is left to cool in the sun overnight.

The next morning, when Chu Congrong got up, the first thing she did was to care about the two dustpans. She ran over to take a look, with a satisfied smile on her face. The twins got up earlier than her, and when they heard the noise, they ran over from the yard to give them to them.

She washed her face and looked at her expectantly.

Today is another fair day, follow my sister and have some meat to eat!

"Don't be too happy too early. I won't go to town today." Chu Congrong spread his hands and looked at them with a smile.

After hearing this, the two brothers immediately grimaced, especially Qilang, who pouted so much that he could almost wear a weighing weight.

"but……"

When the two brothers heard that they seemed to still have some discussion, their eyes flashed and they immediately made a promise: "No matter what sister says, we will listen to you!"

Chu Congrong didn't expect them to agree so simply. She knew that the two brothers had already worshiped her like a god in private. Which girl in the world can make more money than her sister? And which girl can defeat the master of the college?

"Okay, remember what you said now. Sister, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go to the county seat today! Let's eat the rich!"

The twins immediately jumped up with excitement! They went to the town before, and now they go to the county. Will they be able to go to the capital in the future? Hahaha...

At the entrance of the village, several bullock carts were waiting for customers. Uncle Biao saw the three siblings from a distance and thought it was an old rule. He was a little disappointed when he learned that the three of them were going to the county town, but he still introduced the owner of the cart to her and warned the young cart owner.

They must be sent back safely. The male driver named Dazhi repeatedly said yes, and said that he would only charge them ten cents for a round trip, which was two cents less.

Chu Congrong was kind to him, and he was introduced by an acquaintance and took the initiative to reduce the money. He led the twins to sit on it without hesitation. Two pennies are worth two eggs, so save as much as you can.

The ox cart was not full yet, so we had to wait for a while. Several cart owners were chatting while greeting the guests, and one owner said: "You haven't heard, but I heard that Young Master Shen in the town was killed!"

"I heard it's not about killing, but..." A car owner looked at the woman in the car and made a gesture.

"He must have bullied some girl and was seeking revenge. Hey, how painful it is to be castrated!"

"You're talking nonsense. Young Master Shen loves little boys. People near and far know it. Over the past few years, I don't know how many book boys he has changed. It must be that the victim's family can't swallow such a bad feeling. It can't be wrong!"

…

It took almost an hour to get from Longguwo Village to the county seat. It was estimated to be more than thirty miles. It was really not that far.

Dazhi sent everyone to the north gate of the county seat, and the guests entered the city on their own. He specially called Chu Congrong and said that he would leave on time at three o'clock and that he would do some work nearby. He told her to wait at the same place at three o'clock at three o'clock.

Don't miss it.

A quarter to three o'clock in the morning is 3:45. Now it's past half past, which means it's 10 o'clock, so we can only stay for a little more than five hours.

The county seat was pretty much what Chu Congrong had imagined. It was similar to some of the ancient cities she had visited in her previous life. The city wall was estimated to be five or six meters high, and the city gate was three or four meters wide. There was a gate tower directly above it. No guards were seen as she imagined.

People can come and go freely, and there is no need to pay any entry fees. Asking Ming Yayi Teahouse, the three of them jumped inside.
