Chapter 23 Coming to town
"Mom, please don't interfere with my son's marriage, otherwise our whole family will be unlucky too."
Qiu Fugui, who was driving the car, turned back angrily, with a disgusted look on his face and a tone full of disdain for the Wang family.
If it weren't for the sake of my mother and four copper coins, he wouldn't want to drag this family along today.
Liu Zhihua frowned and was about to retort, but the boss held down the back of her hand. Wang Zhuangzhi persuaded him in a low voice: "It is better to do less than to do more. Why argue with someone like him?"
Erya couldn't help but mutter: "Our family is not unlucky."
Jiaojiao nodded, "Well, it's not bad luck."
Their ginseng essence is very good at bringing luck and wealth.
Qiu Fugui seemed to have heard some joke and was about to laugh out loud, but he didn't want a piece of bird shit to fall from the sky and fall on his face.
He hurriedly raised his hands to wipe them, but his face and back of his hands were covered with bird droppings. He cursed in a low voice: "These beasts..."
Erya covered her mouth and kept shaking her shoulders while laughing. She blinked innocently. It was not her fault this time.
Xiao Li looked forward curiously. Qiu Fugui's face turned red with anger and he quickly turned his back and wiped it with his sleeves.
Wang Zhuangzhi pulled Xiao Li and asked him to sit down obediently.
Seeing this, Granny Qiu frowned and glanced at the Wang family. No wonder everyone said that their family was an unlucky family. They were already feeling uncomfortable because they disliked their grandson just now, and now they are even more dissatisfied.
Seeing that Granny Qiu looked ugly, Liu Zhihua sighed in her heart, and now she felt resentful again.
He pretended not to notice, hugged Jiaojiao and leaned against the master's body, closing his eyes and resting for a while. He got up too early this morning and felt a little sleepy.
There is a crossbar tied to the front end of the bullock cart, and a rectangular cart board is pulled behind it. There are two rows of simple handrails, and the whole is rough and crude.
There were eight people sitting in the car, and the old cow was humming as he walked. Qiu Fugui would whip his whip from time to time. The car was swaying, and the road was extremely slow.
……
We set out early in the morning and arrived at the town at noon.
Qiu Sheng got off the bus early and went to the bookshop at the entrance of the town.
Because it was inconvenient for the rest of the Wang family to carry half a sack of Tian Qi Gen, they got off the bus near the drug store at the back.
After the five members of the Wang family got off the bus, Granny Qiu didn't say much, and she didn't even go to see the Wang family. She started to befriend the Wang family for the sake of her grandson's future marriage. Since she knew that the Wang family looked down on the grandson of their old Qiu family, there was no need to
Interact with them more.
Qiu Fugui looked impatient, glanced at them and said displeasedly: "Go back to the village and find someone else. If you are the unlucky family, you will not be able to handle anything happily. You are simply your nemesis!"
After that, he shook his whip and drove away.
"Bah! Your broken car is cold and noisy, and the old scalper walks slower than people. It's really like losing four copper coins in vain." Liu Zhihua shouted angrily.
"Mom, let's sell the money and hire a carriage to go home, and let them be greedy when the time comes." Erya said loudly.
Liu Zhihua choked and looked at the things in the sack underground. She always felt that this thing was unreliable. Where could some earthwork roots be sold for money?
Wang Zhuangzhi sighed, picked up the sack, looked around and said, "Now that we're here, I know there's a drug store at the back. Let's go and ask them if they accept it."
Jiaojiao blinked her eyes. She only knew that these things were valuable, but she didn't know how much they could be sold for.
After thinking about it, she tilted her head and hugged her mother's neck and said: "Mother, this Tianqi is a good medicine and can be sold for a lot of money. Let's ask how many drug stores sell it."
Erya quickly nodded in agreement and said: "My little sister is right, we need to ask a few more pharmacies to see what we should do if we are deceived."
Seeing how confident the children were, Liu Zhihua and Wang Zhuangzhi smiled helplessly, and now they have no choice but to accept it.
"Then let your father go to the drug store first and ask about the price. We will sell it to whichever one has the highest price."
"Okay!"
Wang Zhuangzhi carried Xiao Li and went to the store in the back to ask about the price. Erya was not to be outdone and ran excitedly to the uncle selling steamed buns at the corner in front.
Smelling the fragrant steamed buns, she greedily swallowed her saliva, clasped her fists and asked with a smile: "Uncle, do you know where the nearest medicinal shop is?"
The uncle selling steamed buns saw that she was an ugly girl with a black face and was dressed in rags. He immediately waved his hand in displeasure: "Go, go, go, where is the ugly girl making trouble? Don't affect my business."
When Erya heard him call her an ugly girl, she immediately looked at him dissatisfied: "Why do you talk like this? I won't come to buy buns from you even if you have money."
The uncle selling steamed buns had a look of disdain on his face and said sarcastically: "Look at how you dress and dress, you can't afford steamed buns. If you don't have money, don't ask me for help. You are such a poor thing!"
After all, Erya is a ten-year-old girl. Although she used to be a bit naughty in the village, when someone pointed at her head and scolded her like this, her eyes turned red with anger and she clenched her fists tightly.
Jiaojiao's ears were very sensitive, so when she heard the movement, she hurried over with her short legs.
Seeing that her sister's eyes were red, as if she was angry, she wrinkled her little face and looked at the stall owner angrily, stood up and walked in front of her sister, her soft voice was a bit stern: "You are a bad person, mess with my sister.
I'm angry, why don't you apologize quickly!"
The stall owner looked at another helper and heard her nonsense, as if he had heard some big joke. He looked at the two girls' movies with his chin raised and his waist and shouted: "You ignorant country bumpkins, get out of here."
"Return,"
Before he finished speaking, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew up from the sky. The steamer in front of him was knocked over to the ground by the wind, and the white steamed buns rolled down to the ground in groups.
"Ah - my buns!"
Before the man could go out to pick it up, several wild dogs from the area came over after smelling the smell. They grabbed the buns and ate them, barking at the man while protecting them.
"Woof woof woof——"
"Go away! My buns..."
Jiaojiao and Erya took advantage of the chaos and slipped away.
Over here, Liu Zhihua looked at the lively town with envy.
There are square and large blue-brick houses everywhere, and the streets are busier than the market. People come in and out of all kinds of shops, and it’s dazzling for everyone to see. It’s really lively.
She turned around with a smile, only to find that Jiaojiao was missing. She turned pale with fright, and hurriedly looked for her and shouted: "Jiaojiao!"
Jiaojiao and her sister ran over and saw her mother looking for her in a panic. She hurried over and hugged her mother's legs, "Mom~"
"Oh, my little ancestor, you scared me to death!"
Liu Zhihua's face was still a little pale. She picked up her beloved and hugged her tightly. Seeing that he was okay, she breathed a long sigh of relief and coaxed softly: "My dear, don't run around next time. If you lose your mother,
How to live."
Jiaojiao nodded obediently: "Mother, Jiaojiao knows her mistake and won't run around next time."
"Good boy! My sweet baby is so obedient." Liu Zhihua smiled and kissed her daughter's forehead.
Erya weakly called out "Mother" and walked straight to the sack. Her dark face was drooped, and her black hands were holding the corners of her clothes, obviously unhappy because of what happened just now.
"You girl, you were running like crazy just now, what happened?" Liu Zhihua asked with a puzzled face.
Erya sat on the ground against the wall, raking her hands on the ground. Her braids were a little messy. She curled her lips unhappily and whispered in a low voice: "I want to earn a lot of money, and it's best to have endless money to spend."

"Hahaha, you girl, everyone knows that money is a good thing, but how can money be so easy to earn?"
