Yan Funing smiled and said, "He is my brother."
The term "brother-in-law" is far less intimate than "brother".
Shopkeeper Liu asked again, "The young lady and her brother are dressed well, so they must be children of wealthy families. Why do they often come here to sell mountain products?"
The young man who came back last time was dressed in noble attire and had a noble appearance.
They either sell wild oyster mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, or pheasants.
Previously he thought the girl was just experiencing life, but now even her family has shown up.
It's really puzzling.
Fu Beimo interrupted: "Make money. If you don't make money, you'll starve."
Shopkeeper Liu nodded. It turned out that it was not easy for a rich family to fall into poverty.
He immediately weighed the winter bamboo shoots.
"This time it's nineteen catties and six ounces, so let's call it twenty catties, a total of two ounces of silver."
As he said this, he took out some silver from his pocket.
"Thank you, shopkeeper!"
Yan Funing took the silver and put it into her purse.
Shopkeeper Liu said softly, "Miss, the New Year is almost over now, and winter bamboo shoots won't sell well anytime soon."
"I know. Thanks for the heads-up!" Yan Funing picked up the empty backpack. "I'll get some other mountain products when the time comes."
When a wealthy family falls into poverty, experiencing the peak and then falling, ordinary people cannot bear this kind of hardship.
The girl in front of him was very motivated, which pleased Shopkeeper Liu very much. He then said, "When the weather gets milder, we can sell spring bamboo shoots as well."
Yan Funing smiled and nodded: "The full moon is auspicious. On this Lantern Festival, I wish the shopkeeper a happy Lantern Festival!"
"Good, good, good!" Shopkeeper Liu laughed heartily. "What a gifted young lady!"
He took a handful of roasted peanuts from the shelf nearby, but felt it was inconvenient for someone to carry them, so he walked to the counter, folded a piece of brown paper, and stuffed a lot of peanuts and sunflower seeds into it.
"Give it to you and your brother for the journey."
Yan Funing thanked him and took it.
Fu Beimo stubbornly corrected him: "It's my sister-in-law and my brother."
He didn't know that he was actually Yan Funing's brother-in-law.
In his eyes, he is his brother's younger brother, which means he is his sister-in-law's younger brother.
No matter what, you have to insist that your sister-in-law is your sister-in-law, not your sister.
"Okay, sister-in-law and brother."
Shopkeeper Liu realized that the boy in front of him was a fool, so he added a lot of peanuts into the paper bag.
After leaving the restaurant, Yan Funing handed the paper bag to Fu Beimo.
"Are you hungry? Eat something first."
Fu Beimo shook his head: "Take it home and eat it together."
"Okay."
Yan Funing smiled and nodded, then took him to the grain and oil store across the street.
--
The Hu family was extremely depressed.
The yard could not be occupied, and the land that was originally occupied was taken back, which meant that a major source of income was lost in the future.
What was even more depressing was that the crops they destroyed overnight were said to be their own half.
Ajing's arm was cut, and although there was clothes covering it, the flesh was still injured.
After thinking about it, I always feel that I have suffered a great loss.
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. They decided to go into the county town and talk to the county magistrate.
As long as the boy from the Fu family doesn't file a lawsuit, Ajing's reputation will not be ruined.
The county magistrate just needs to secretly help the Hu family.
So the family prepared to take Coachman Li's ox cart, and then change to a horse carriage in the town to go into the city.
Unexpectedly, when they reached the village entrance, they could not see the coachman Li and the ox cart.
Having suffered losses for several days, Hu Dahai became more and more angry. He waved his hand and said, "Let's walk to town and then take a bus."
--
There were no walnut kernels in the store, and the vendor selling walnut kernels had already closed his stall, so the store only had sesame seeds.
Yan Funing bought two kilograms of glutinous rice flour and one kilogram of sesame seeds.
After paying the copper coins, he quickly left the grain and oil store.
I specially prepared a lot of copper coins today to buy ingredients for making dumplings.
Because it is estimated that a basket of winter bamboo shoots weighs 20 kilograms, the silver earned is in whole, and there is no need to get small changes.
I just didn't expect it to be this important today.
The restaurant owner was a kind-hearted man, and this time he gave her twenty kilograms without her having to ask.
The uncle and his sister-in-law walked quickly towards the coachman Li.
When they came, they agreed that they would move faster so that the coachman Li could take them back in time.
Because today it is basically the young men and women from the village who are going to the city, and there are almost no people returning to the village from the town, and the coachman Li has to go back to the village to pick up another group of people to bring to the town.
As soon as the uncle and his wife got on the ox cart, the driver Li waved his whip.
Yan Funing opened the brown paper bag, grabbed a handful of peanuts and melon seeds, and placed them along with ten copper coins on the carriage board beside the coachman Li.
Coachman Li's eyes lit up, he couldn't believe it: "Give me food?"
"Well, thank you for waiting for us."
Yan Funing smiled with her eyes curved.
Coachman Li stuffed a peanut into his mouth, bit it open, and ate the peanut inside.
“It smells so good!”
He stuffed ten copper coins into his arms and hummed a little tune.
There were only three people on the ox cart, the uncle and his wife and the driver Li, so the speed was much faster this time.
Halfway through the journey, someone suddenly blocked his way.
There was wind and it was quite cold when the car was moving.
Yan Funing tucked her hands into her sleeves, covering her face with both hands, and didn't even look at the scenery along the road.
Only when the car stopped did she look up.
Fu Beimo pointed at the people blocking the way in front of the car and shouted, "Sister-in-law, it was the Hu family who blocked the way."
Yan Funing also saw that the five members of the Hu family were glaring at them ferociously.
"Driver Li, tell them to get off the cart. We're taking your ox cart to town."
Hu Dahai's eyes were wide open and his nostrils were flared.
Fu Beimo stood up and looked down at them: "Why? We haven't even reached home yet."
"You're such a fool." Hu Ajing chuckled and shook her head, "How can you be so stupid when you look like a decent person?"
