With great difficulty, Song Ruier slipped into an alley, but instead of exiting through the exit, she climbed over the wall of a house, jumped into another alley, and then circled around to this side.
He happened to see Qiao Lian'er driving a carriage down the street, and it looked like the goods had already been loaded.
Song Ruier slapped his forehead; he had missed another opportunity.
It's all because of those brats. I wish they were dead, he thought through gritted teeth.
"Hey kid, I see you again." Song Ruier felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw it was A-Wu.
Ah Wu is the youngest, only seven years old, but he is very naughty, and his broken palm makes his punches very painful.
Song Ruier couldn't help but clench her fists: "What exactly do you want? I didn't provoke you, did I? You've been teasing me for so long, it's time to stop."
“You didn’t provoke us, you provoked Sister Lian’er. That’s why we’re asking you what you’re doing following her around, what bad ideas you’re up to.” Although Ah Si was reserved, he was not weak in the face of a scoundrel like Song Rui’er, and he was ready to take action when necessary.
“I told you she’s my own sister, born to the same parents. What’s wrong with me going to see her?”
"Who would believe you? Sister Lian'er is so good, and you're so bad. You two must have the same parents."
The two men blocked Song Ruier from getting close to the carriage.
Qiao Lian'er was driving his carriage past when he saw Song Rui'er looking dirty and with messy hair, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Song Ruier, what have you been doing all day? You might as well have gone begging for food; at least you could have gotten a few copper coins."
"I want you to tell me where the goods come from. Our Song family also wants to set up a stall. You're my sister, so it's not too much for you to tell me this, is it? You're hiding a way to make money from me, you're really shameless."
Song Ruier finally managed to strike up a conversation with Qiao Lian'er and directly stated her purpose.
"Now I'm your older sister." Qiao Lian'er couldn't help but sneer, thinking back to the day she left the Song family and how Song Rui'er desperately tried to distance herself from them.
“If you tell me, you will always be my sister. Otherwise, I will disown you, and you will lose me as your only brother.” Song Ruier thought he had moved Qiao Lian’er, so she pressed her advantage.
After all, they were once family, so how could Qiao Lian'er really abandon him?
"The source of the goods is right in the latrine. There's plenty of soup and liquid. Just take a big basin and fill it up yourself. Even if you can't sell it, it'll be good for the Song family to eat."
Qiao Lian'er drove the carriage away into the distance.
Song Ruier's face turned pale with anger. She wanted to cling to him, but Ah Si and Ah Wu held her back tightly.
However, since Qiao Lian'er didn't object to Song Rui'er's way of addressing her, the two of them realized that Qiao Lian'er really was Song Rui'er's older sister.
"You two really are siblings, so why does your sister seem like a human being while you don't?" Ah Wu asked, posing a probing question.
Song Ruier was extremely anxious. Old Mrs. Song had given him one hundred coins to come to the county town. If he didn't make any progress today, he didn't know how he would be scolded when he got back.
Qiao Lian'er stopped the carriage under the parasol, and A Da and A Er carried a large basin down from it.
The spicy and fragrant aroma wafted to their noses, attracting the attention of the Qiao family.
Boss Qiao: "What's this? A chili pepper."
"Wow, it smells so good. So that's what you guys were making." Qiao Dameng sniffed hard.
"Everyone, have a taste." Qiao Lian'er brought out a small bowl.
If everyone around me says it tastes good, then selling it shouldn't be a problem.
