The ox cart rumbled along the path.

Ke Xin in the car frowned: "Mom, why is my brother's engagement such a big deal?"

"It's to get rid of the bad luck and bring good luck to your eldest brother. Secondly, your grandfather wants to take advantage of your eldest brother's wedding to tell him about your plan to plant peppers so that we can prepare for next year."

After hearing this, Ke Xin understood her grandfather's intention. She took advantage of the meal to say that some people wanted to back out but were too embarrassed to bring it up in person. If her guess was correct, her grandfather should ask her to make two chili dishes and let the facts speak for themselves. In conjunction with Liu Feiyang's plan to buy all the chili peppers in the village, how could the villagers disagree with this two-pronged approach?

Grandpa is really amazing. He can think of everything in advance. It is true that old people are wise.

Ke Xin pulled out two silver notes worth one hundred taels from her purse and handed them to Ge Shuzhen: "Mom, it's the beginning of winter now. Let's buy some more cotton and replace our winter clothes and bedding. We're not short of money now, so don't make things difficult for yourself."

Ge Shuzhen was shocked when she saw the child spend two hundred taels of silver notes at once. Although she knew that Ke Xin could make money and that she could earn dozens or even hundreds of taels from selling seasonings, this was the first time she saw so much money.

He took the banknote tremblingly and quickly put it in his pocket: "This is the first time mother has seen so much money."

Ke Xin couldn't help laughing when she saw her mother speaking very quietly, like a thief. Her mother acted like she was trying to cover up her crime, and the more she acted like this, the easier it would be for a thief to target her.

She took her mother's hand away from her chest and said, "Be generous, mother. The more you cover it, the more the thief will think you have something there, and the more they will stare at you. So just do what you have to do."

After hearing this, she nodded seriously and said, "You are right." Then she put her arms down and placed them at her sides. She looked around with a serious face and sat up straight.

Seeing this, Ke Xin sighed deeply. Mom didn't come here to buy cotton, she was clearly here to make fun of me. Judging from her attitude, she would probably walk the wrong way when she got off the car.

A thief may not be able to steal from her, but at least he will think her a psychopath.

"Mom, you and my second brother will wait for me at the restaurant. I'll go exchange some small change and we can go buy it together."

After hearing this, Ge Shuzhen immediately returned the banknote to her and breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my, you should have told me earlier. I was sweating all over."

Ke Xin: ...blame me!

In the backyard of Liuji Restaurant, Jiang Shan continued to profit from the restaurant. Whenever he got the chance, he would feed hay to Erhuang. Seeing that Jiang Shan was so familiar with the place, his mother shushed the people working elsewhere and tugged at Jiang Shan's sleeve, "Why are you feeding cows here, kid?"

Jiang Shan frowned: "Isn't this fodder used to feed cattle? It doesn't matter who eats it."

"But this belongs to someone else." Ge Shuzhen pointed out the root cause.

Jiang Shan nodded: "So what? It was their young master who let our cows eat it. If you don't believe me, ask the workers."

He spoke loudly, and the servants working around him greeted Ge Shuzhen with a smile: "It's the young master's order. Eat as much as you want."

Jiang Shan raised his eyebrows: "See, it's not me who is greedy."

How could a mother not know whether he was greedy or not? Ge Shuzhen glared at her second son, raised her head and glanced upstairs, sighing in her heart.

The study at that time.

After collecting the money, Xiao Jiu pretended to ask the shopkeeper Fang casually, "Why didn't I see Liu Feiyang today?"

Shopkeeper Fang said with a smile: "The master is coming today, and the young master should be at the mansion to greet him."

She glanced at the smiling Shopkeeper Fang, and her eyelids drooped immediately, thinking to herself: It seems that Liu Feiyang did not tell Shopkeeper Fang that he was stabbed last night.

Did he leave on his own this morning, or was he picked up by someone? Or was he kidnapped again?

The main thing was that he left so silently that Ke Xin had an illusion.

"Tell Liu Feiyang that my eldest brother is getting engaged on the fifth day of the eleventh lunar month. My family is having a banquet. Ask him if he can come. If he doesn't have time, that's fine. Just ask Xiaowu to let me know."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Fang's eyebrows lit up: "Don't worry, Miss Jiang, I will definitely pass on the message."

Ke Xin said hello to him and left. If Manager Fang took the eldest brother's engagement seriously, then the decision of whether Liu Feiyang would come or not would be known in the afternoon.

Xiaowu followed Liu Feiyang. Seeing that Xiaowu was safe, he naturally knew that there would be no problem. This also indirectly proved whether he was still alive.

The ox cart stopped at the door of the cloth shop. Ke Xin followed her mother in. She didn't know the price until she bought cotton. She was shocked when she saw that even this slightly yellowed cotton cost 25 cents per pound, and the bleached cotton cost 30 cents per pound. This stuff was more than twice as expensive as pork.

Seeing that the good cotton cost thirty cents, Ge Shuzhen set her sights on the cheap cotton. Ke Xin tugged at her sleeve and said, "Let's buy more. We can bargain and buy the better ones."

Ge Shuzhen naturally understood her subtle hints and winked at Kexin: "Twenty-five cents a pound of cotton can be bargained for."

Ke Xin held her forehead and said, "Mom, if you buy lower-quality cotton, we can make two sets of cotton clothes for each of us, and a set of bedding for each of us."

Hearing the little words from her daughter, Ge Shuzhen glared at her and whispered, "You're crazy."

Is she crazy?

The bedding at home is not only not translucent, but also very heavy when covered with it. The mattress on the bed is also very thin, and it hurts every time you turn over. If you make money and don’t treat yourself well, then what’s the point of saving the money!

Ke Xin walked past her mother and said to the shopkeeper behind her, "I need cotton at thirty wen per jin. Cotton clothes weigh 4 jin per set. There are 19 people in total, so we need 76 jin of cotton."
