So, she could only look at her second brother in astonishment.

She asked innocently, "Second brother, are you saying that Mom is unhappy with us?"

No wonder, when I got sick this time, my mother preferred to give the chicken soup to my third brother rather than give me any tonic.

But how could that be? Even though Mom didn't like us much before, she wasn't too bad to us.

Well, let's openly and honestly put some pressure on that person, make a deeper impression on you, and stop being foolishly filial!

Hearing her sister mention this made Liu Shihua feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Yes, my younger sister is so sick she can't get out of bed, but Mom would rather give the chicken soup to my lively younger brother than give my sister any to help her recover.

Therefore, his decision was correct; he shouldn't give his mother too much money.

Despite thinking this way, Liu Shihua still said, "Perhaps we've suffered a great calamity this time, so we can't be foolish and we have to be careful."

Especially you, Lele, you must continue your schooling. We've made money, so Mom can't stop you from going to school.”

Liu Shile nodded obediently, "Yes, yes, I'll listen to my second brother. We should all continue our studies and study hard!"

Liu Shihua didn't dare to accept this, because he was now the only man in the family who could shoulder the burden!

Therefore, he was unsure whether he would be able to continue his studies.

If Dad's leg hadn't been injured, he could naturally continue going to school.

But now that my parents are unable to work, doesn't someone have to take care of things at home?

But he didn't want to tell his sister about these worries and thoughts, not wanting to cause her unnecessary trouble.

This time, he, as the older brother, has already dragged the team down enough.

He can't be too selfish; he can deal with the future later.

He believes in the saying, "Things will work themselves out."

"Lele, you should put these away quickly. By the way, where do you want to go shopping today? What do you want to buy?"

Liu Shile pushed the bag of money to her younger sister before asking her about her plans for the day.

Seeing this, Liu Shile did not refuse and simply put the money away.

Anyway, her farm is the safest place, much safer than her second brother.

Then she casually mentioned her plans for the day, naturally not telling the whole truth, before asking her second brother if he was going.

Actually, she didn't want her second brother to come with her, after all, she was someone who wanted to go on a shopping spree.

Although her second brother could help her carry things, there were many other things she couldn't buy.

It's unclear whether Liu Shihua was discouraged by the events of the past two days or worried about being recognized when she went out.

So he shook his head, wanting to persuade his sister to go home now.

But seeing her younger sister's excited and joyful face, she couldn't bear to see her disappointed.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Second brother won't go. You must be careful."

Also, be sure to avoid those kinds of people when you run into them, don't let them notice anything amiss, understand?

Liu Shile was overjoyed; her second brother was so understanding!

So he nodded repeatedly and even made a serious promise.

Well, actually, she didn't think so at all.

After all, most people in this era are just ordinary people, so she wasn't afraid at all.

Without her second brother around, she could be even more unrestrained.

So Liu Shile happily went out the door and headed straight for the vegetable market in the south of the city.

The market wasn't very big, with only a few scattered vendors, most of whom looked pale and hungry.

They mostly sell vegetables and the like, and maybe a few eggs.

As for meat, there were only one or two people selling fish. The fish were neither plentiful nor large, and they were not oily or tasty.

In particular, Yicheng is located right next to the river, so if you really want to eat fish, you can get some if you work hard.

As for the other meat, sorry, Liu Shile looked around and didn't see a single trace.

Tsk, the scarcity of supplies is so severe that Liu Shile doesn't even know what to say.

She picked and chose a few fish and threw them into the farm's pond when no one was looking.

Then they strolled off to the seed store.

She had just heard that there was a seed store in the north of the city that had a fairly complete selection of seeds.

She didn't buy many seeds at the market yesterday, so she planted them all at the farm.

Fortunately, her second brother was so stunned by the money that he didn't pay attention to these things, otherwise she would have had a hard time explaining herself.

Today she plans to buy more seeds to put on the farm, so that she won't be short of seeds when she has time.

I heard the seed store is quite large and has a wide selection of seeds, so Liu Shile is really looking forward to it.

When she actually arrived at the seed store, she was greatly disappointed.

So the so-called largest and most complete grain seed store was only about 20 square meters.

Moreover, the seeds inside are all presentable at a glance. Is this what they call the largest and most comprehensive seed store?!

"Young lady, what kind of seeds would you like to buy? We have the most complete selection of seeds here."

Upon seeing someone arrive, the cleaning lady greeted them warmly.

Well, compared to the market, the seeds here are indeed quite complete.

However, all the seeds combined don't equal the number of seeds in the farm store.

This means the farm's level has been reset to zero, so many seeds are no longer available for purchase.

Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have come to the seed shop to buy seeds, because she simply couldn't judge the quality of these seeds.

The packaging for these seeds was very rough, with only the name of the vegetable written on it and nothing else.

She just hopes the seeds are good enough to survive on the farm, otherwise she'll really be wasting her money.

Although she was quite disgusted, she had no choice but to buy it.

There are more seeds here than in the seed shops in their town.

So Liu Shile smiled and replied, then began to carefully examine what kinds of seeds were available.

Actually, she had a shopping list in her head.

This time, she mainly came out to find plants that could be fried to extract oil.

She discovered that oil was scarce in this era, and it was also very murky, not clear at all, and the varieties were very limited.

So when she saw seeds such as peanuts, rapeseed, soybeans, sesame, and sunflowers, she bought a lot of them without hesitation.

Then came the staple foods; I bought some of each of the following: rice, wheat, corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.

Finally, there were some fruits and vegetables; she bought a variety of everything in the store.

When the woman at the grain store saw her buying this and that, she couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Young lady, what do you plan to do with so many seeds?"

When she asked the question, she kept her eyes fixed on the little girl.

Moreover, she tightened her grip on the feather duster.

Liu Shile almost smiled wryly upon seeing this.

That's the bad thing about this era.

Not only can you not buy things even if you have money, but if you buy a little more than you need, people will suspect your motives.

Just like this woman, when they saw that she bought a lot, they started to interrogate her.

Who is Liu Shile? How could she possibly stump him with her questions?

He pitifully described how poor his hometown was.

I came out on behalf of my fellow villagers to buy some rare seeds to take back with me.

She figured since she'd come all this way, she'd buy a lot to take back with her, and so on.
