"Ah Sheng, Ah Lin, you've arrived. Get on the oxcart, we've been waiting for you," the man holding the oxcart reins said with a smile.

Uncle Jiang was somewhat surprised. "Old Zhong, how did you know we were going to town?"

"Hey, I heard yesterday that Ah Lin is taking Wan Ya to town to see a doctor today. That's why we've been waiting for you. What? You're going to town too?" Ah Zhong, a man, scratched the back of his head and said with a simple and honest smile.

"Of course, I'm going to town to sell eggs." With that, Uncle Jiang picked up his basket and happily boarded the oxcart.

Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Jialin followed closely behind and boarded the oxcart together.

Jiang Jialin took out three copper coins from his pocket and handed them to Ah Zhong. "Ah Zhong, this is the fare for the three of us. Please keep it safe."

"Alright." Ah Zhong carefully put the copper coins into his pocket, turned around and said to the people on the oxcart, "Everyone sit down, let's set off now."

After saying that, Ah Zhong raised the ox whip high and pulled hard on the reins, and the old ox began to slowly move forward.

Aunt Li, carrying a basket, turned to look at Uncle Jiang and asked curiously, "Jiasheng, what are you doing in town? Look at that big basket you're carrying, are you taking something good to sell?"

Uncle Jiang's eyes were full of pride. He carefully lifted the gray cloth covering the basket, revealing a basket full of eggs inside.

The women on the oxcart all turned to look, and their expressions varied when they saw so many eggs in the basket. Some were envious, and some were jealous.

"My goodness, this whole basket of eggs could fetch a lot of money."

"Of course! I heard that these eggs were picked up on the mountain yesterday afternoon by Wan Yatou and Dajiang and Dahe. Why aren't we so lucky?"

"It was only after Wan'er returned to the Jiang family that their luck improved so much. In the past, with the Jiang family's bad luck, they would have been stuck with water in their teeth."

......

Uncle Jiang accepted the envious glances from the women on the oxcart with a smug look on his face, offering no explanation.

In fact, the eggs in the basket included not only a few small ones that we found on the mountain, but most of them were laid by our seven old hens. Of course, we couldn't tell anyone about this.

If someone with ulterior motives were to find out that the hen in my house laid more than two hundred eggs in one day, the hen might not be safe.

Uncle Jiang was quite pleased with himself for his cleverness.

Jiang Wanwan and her father sat on the oxcart, which attracted a lot of gossip from the women in the village.

They tried to subtly inquire about Jiang Wanwan's life in the General's Mansion. Some even probed whether Jiang Wanwan had brought back any valuables or money from the General's Mansion.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the oxcart arrived at the entrance of the town.

"Whoa—" Ah Zhong pulled on the reins, and the oxcart slowly came to a stop. He turned back to look at the crowd and said, "Everyone, meet at the town gate at 5:15 PM."

Jiang Wanwan was still being carried on Jiang Jialin's back. The two paid the entrance fee and entered the town smoothly.

After entering the town, Jiang Wanwan and her father parted ways with Jiang Erbo and the others. The father and daughter were going to see a doctor at He'an Hall in the East Market, while Jiang Erbo went to sell eggs in the South Market.

The town was bustling with activity, a scene of lively celebration.

The streets were bustling with people, and the roadside vendors were shouting their wares at the top of their lungs, adding a touch of lively atmosphere to the whole town.

The father and daughter decided that they should go all the way with the act and not let Jiang Tietou find any fault with them.

So the two of them went to He'an Hall first, where the doctor examined Jiang Wanwan's injuries. After confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong, they spent a dozen or so copper coins to buy some medicine for bruises and sprains before leaving He'an Hall.
