Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 42
Qin Yuyao didn't know that the maid of the county magistrate's wife and the boy from just now were frantically looking for her.At this time, she came to the grain market, walked into a shop selling rice and noodles, and weighed ten catties of white noodles and ten catties of rice.White noodles cost three Wen a catty, rice five Wen a catty, and a total of eighty Wen was spent.

After thinking about it carefully, Qin Yuyao turned to the vegetable market again and bought some eggs and meat.It's too hot, and there is no refrigerator in this world, so Qin Yuyao didn't dare to buy more, not to mention that it doesn't take much effort to go to the city.

After buying one at a time, the small basket on the back was almost full before Qin Yuyao set off on the return journey.After leaving the gate of the city, it happened that there was still an ox cart in the village, and it stopped under a big tree outside the city. Three women were already sitting there, and they were about to leave.

"Uncle Bai, give me a ride!" Coincidentally, the driver was none other than Uncle Bai who lived at the entrance of the village and treated Qin Yuyao.

Looking at this old man, Qin Yuyao respected him from the bottom of his heart.Not only because Uncle Bai treated her, but also because Uncle Bai was not easy, even at an age, but still struggling to make a living.

In the early years, Uncle Bai's only son and daughter-in-law both passed away, leaving only a juicy granddaughter, who was about to be married.On weekdays, besides treating the villagers in several neighboring villages, Uncle Bai often drove people into the city in a bullock cart, earning some money to make a dowry for his granddaughter.

Uncle Bai glanced at her, then tapped the cigarette bag: "Come on."

"Wait!" At this time, a woman in the car said: "Mr. Qin is carrying such a big backpack, so you can't just pay two Wen for the fare, at least three Wen!"

Qin Yuyao raised her eyes and couldn't help laughing: "Aunt Six is ​​a fair person." She saw that Aunt Six's fat body was sitting on half of the car shaft, with one butt supporting two others. I don't know if she gave more money?

This sixth aunt is the woman who murmured in the morning that Qin Yuyao was possessed by a ghost.In terms of seniority, Qin Yuyao should call her sixth aunt.Originally, she didn't want to call out, but in front of so many people, Qin Yuyao didn't want to show it, so she called out obediently, but she felt very contemptuous in her heart.It's just because the sixth aunt has a very good relationship with Mrs. Sun, she is very caring, and often does things that harm others and benefit herself.

"No need." Uncle Bai said with drooping eyes.He has been to Qin Yuyao's house and knows how poor it is. Although his family is not rich, and he has to save a dowry for his granddaughter, he doesn't want to make it difficult for the younger generation.

Qin Yuyao admired Uncle Bai's kindness the most, and took out four Wen coins from her bosom and handed it over: "A few days ago, thank you, Uncle Bai, for taking care of me. Aunt Six made a lot of sense just now. It's big and heavy, and you should pay extra."

Seeing this, Uncle Bai didn't say anything more, took the money and stuffed it into his bosom, picked up his whip and yelled: "Let's go—"

The bullock cart creaked forward, and Qin Yuyao sat on the edge with her back basket in her arms, silently counting in her heart.Today, I got 13, [-] Wen for selling star anise, [-], [-] Wen for cloth, and [-] Wen for embroidery thread, food, meat, eggs, and other miscellaneous things.After all, there are five taels of silver left on him.

Five taels of silver, not too much, not too much.It is enough to deal with an emergency on weekdays.Thinking of this, the expression on his face gradually relaxed.Today I bought two feet of cotton cloth, one for myself and one for Bao'er.After a few days, when the things for the mysterious man are done, I will make two clothes for myself and Bao'er.

He thought in his heart again, with the shopkeeper of Xianyun Building, with this friendship today, the business will definitely go much smoother in the future.Thinking of it like this, it seemed as if the white silver was spread on the road not far away, just waiting for her to pick it up.

"Yo? What did the Qin family buy today, so happy?" Aunt Six sat beside Qin Yuyao, looking at the basket in her arms.

This sixth aunt has a lot of things to do, if she hides it and doesn't show it to her, she doesn't know what will happen later.Qin Yuyao knew it well, so she let go of her hand on the back basket, revealed the bags of rice and noodles piled on top of the back basket, and said, "I didn't buy anything, it's just some rice noodles."

"Oh, I see such a big basket, it's not just some rice noodles, right?" Aunt Six glanced at it, stretched out her hands and pulled it up: "What's underneath?"

Qin Yuyao pursed her lips slightly, separated the sixth aunt's hand, and gently pushed aside a corner of the noodle bag, revealing a little egg and pork: "My baby was growing up, so I bought some eggs and meat , go home and cook for him.”

"Tsk tsk, I really have spare money!" Aunt Six said with a half-smile, "This time, I have broken away from my natal family, and I am willing to buy eggs and eat pork."

Qin Yuyao's eyes turned cold, and she almost couldn't help kicking her down—what kind of stupid talk is this?Was the Qin family not filial in the past?She was so filial that she lost her life, how many people would be wronged for her?He gave Aunt Six a cold look, don't ignore her.

The sixth aunt was so busy that her cheeks ached, she took out a handful of watermelon seeds from her pocket, and said coolly while nibbling: "You can put these away when you get home, lest your mother take them away again. Sigh, Look at what I said, where do you still have a mother? You were originally an abandoned daughter picked up by my sister-in-law from the foot of the mountain, and now you have broken ties with my sister-in-law, but you are a man without father or mother."

"Stop talking." At this moment, a woman sitting on the other side of the car shaft with her back to the two said.

Aunt Six glanced at the woman and said, "What? What am I wrong? Is Qin an abandoned daughter? Was she picked up by my sister-in-law? Did she raise her? Did she accompany her?" She married someone? Later she was divorced, but she was incompetent and had an unknown traitor. No one can blame anyone. If it weren't for the sake of my sister-in-law's family, how could the village accommodate her? She was kicked out early in the morning out--"

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked on the waist suddenly, and fell out of the car with an "ah", and fell into the mud!

As far as Qin Yuyao is concerned, she doesn't like fan theory the most. She can't learn and doesn't like to do those tricks.After all, she has a whole body of kung fu, who can do anything to her?She just didn't like to hear Aunt Six's nonsense, so she simply didn't wrong herself, and followed her heart's will, kicked her off.

"Ah yo!" Aunt Six stood up with her waist supported, and with a big painted face covered in mud, she started to catch up with the bullock cart: "Well, you little hoof, you are so disrespectful to your elders! What can I say to you?" Did you give birth? Could it be that you have been wronged? How dare you kick me! Little hoof, I will never end with you!"

Uncle Bai didn't know whether his ears were hard to use because he was old, or he was doing it on purpose, he insisted on dropping the whip on Niu'er's buttocks, and said in a long and hoarse voice: "Run, Niu'er, run faster—"

As expected, Niu'er quickened his pace, Aunt Six was about to catch up, but immediately fell down, leaned over, almost fell again!He was so angry that he was out of breath: "Stop! Stop!"
