Chapter 17 Too Naive

Jincheng is a very large place. Because it was daytime, there were many vendors hawking on the street.

Lu Jinnian walked slowly with a backpack on her back. When she saw something suitable, she stopped to look.

It was impossible to buy it. She just wanted to see if there were any substitute products in the space.

The silver on her body could not be spent casually. It would be troublesome if someone targeted her.

Now she spent copper coins, and silver was too conspicuous.

Find a place to change one or two taels of silver into one thousand coins, and Lu Jinnian went out to buy things with peace of mind.

First, she bought a piece of coarse cloth, and then she also bought needles and thread. Although she could not make clothes, Lu Jinxin could.

Although she was young, she had learned all these skills.

Of course, the original owner could do it, but she didn't like to do these. She really couldn't do embroidery and making clothes.

After buying things, she asked someone about the price of wild animals again, and then quietly left the city before dark.

The weather outside was slowly getting colder, but the refugees by the city wall still had no intention of leaving.

They were waiting for rescue from the city government, but the occasional porridge was not enough to fill their stomachs.

Some of those who could no longer support themselves began to look for a place to settle down, but some still wanted to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor, so they planned to stay until winter.

Lu Jinnian took a look and left quickly. In her opinion, if these people really wanted to wait until winter, they would probably freeze to death in the ice and snow if no one cared about them.

The weather in the north is different from that in the south, and they were too naive.

By that time, it would be too late to regret.

After about half an hour, it was already dark. This forced her to quicken her pace and walk home.

Fortunately, this place is remote, so there are not many people. She tried not to take the main road so that she would not meet anyone.

Approaching the shack, Lu Jinnian saw the flickering of fire in the house. The three brothers and sisters were sitting on the bed, looking outside.

In fact, she could not see anything at all, but she could see these three people.

"I'm back!" Lu Jinnian shouted with a smile.

Walking into the house, the three brothers and sisters happily went downstairs to put on shoes.

Seeing the worn-out shoes on their feet, the soles were exposed, her heart ached, and then she hurried to take things out of the backpack.

Cloth shoes are still quite expensive. She bought four pairs. Because she didn't know the size, she bought a little bigger, not too small.

"Shoes! And coarse cloth!" Lu Jinxin's eyes lit up. Her clothes could no longer cover her body. Lu Jinnian's clothes were given to her before, but they were too big and uncomfortable to wear.

Others were also very happy to see the shoes. Compared with wearing clothes, shoes can make them less painful to walk.

"Brother, these shoes are so beautiful!" Lu Jinqiu was young and only cared about having clothes and shoes to wear.

Lu Jincheng looked at her and said, "Brother, you have worked hard."

After saying that, he felt guilty in his heart because he could not help much and felt useless.

Seeing his guilty expression, Lu Jinnian said, "Jincheng, you don't have to feel guilty. I know you are a good student. I will send you to school next year when I save up enough money."

At that time, scholars were very popular, especially Lu Jincheng, who was very talented. After two or three years of training and then taking the imperial examination, he could become an accountant and make money without physical labor.

Hearing the word "study", Lu Jincheng's eyes widened, and then shook his head, "No, the burden on my family is already too heavy, I can't go."

He liked studying, but it was not necessary. If studying would drag down his family, he would rather not go to school.
