Chapter 61 Bought a cart]
Although everyone knew that she had made some money by selling wild boars with the officials, they still couldn't help but envy her when they saw her being so generous.
Zhang Zhou, who had examined her before, stepped forward and advised: "Mrs. Shen, why did you buy cotton cloth? Linen is cheaper and can be made into clothes of the same price. You are young and don't know the difficulties of being the head of a household. We are on the road of exile, so it is better to be frugal."
Chen Fenghe knew that Zhang Zhou had good intentions, so she smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, I know it's hard to be the head of a household. It's just that my family is full of children. Although linen is cheap, it's easy to let in wind. The further north we go, the colder it gets. So I'd rather spend more money on making cotton clothes for them while I have it."
Zhang Zhou nodded and said with a smile, "Is that so? The little one is weak, that's to be expected."
At that moment, each family had chosen their fabrics and paid their bills, and then went to the shop selling cotton and other items.
This time, Chen Fenghe only bought two kilograms of cotton. The remaining part can be directly replenished from the space when the time comes.
The next stop was a fur shop, but Chen Fenghe didn't buy anything.
Fur is expensive. If you go in and take a look, you will see that only a very small number of families have bought a mink skin or a few rabbit skins, which is enough to make a pair of boots.
After buying these things, Chen Fenghe mentioned it to Yuan Xun and wanted to go to the car dealership to take a look.
Yuan Xun had already asked Chen Wu and agreed to let Chen Fenghe buy a cart, so he took everyone to the cart dealership.
Chen Fenghe quickly picked out a two-wheeled cart that could be attached to a bridle so that it could be towed by animals such as cows, horses, and mules.
However, even a mule costs five taels of silver and above, not to mention cattle and horses. Now I can't be too extravagant and want to get it all in one go.
The price of this car is two taels of silver.
Chen Fenghe immediately took out the silver and paid, making everyone else envious.
The entire journey of exile depends on walking, and the luggage such as cooking utensils, bedding, clothes, etc. are all carried on shoulders and hands. If there is a cart, even if there is no one sitting on it, it would be much easier to put things on it!
But two taels of silver is not a small amount of money. Who can come up with so much?
This time, the people from the Qin family who came to purchase were Liu Cui and Qin Jian's wife, Li Guihua. Seeing how generous Chen Fenghe was, they all showed jealous expressions.
After coming out of the car dealership, Chen Fenghe put all the things he bought in the car and pushed it away.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhou said to Shen Fenghe, "Miss Shen, if you don't mind, let my son help you push it back. He is a man and has more strength, so he is always stronger than a young lady like you."
Chen Fenghe glanced at the man following Zhang Zhoushi. The man's name was Zhang Yuan. He was usually taciturn, but Chen Fenghe had secretly observed that he was a farmer who was filial to his mother and treated his wife well.
Chen Fenghe smiled and declined, "How can I be so embarrassed?"
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "It's no problem. He's very strong. He used to push carts full of wheat when we were farming."
Chen Fenghe stopped refusing and said with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang and Brother Zhang."
A blush appeared on Zhang Yuan's dark face. Without saying a word, he walked over, took the cart from Chen Fenghe's hand, and helped her push it.
Seeing this, Liu Cui couldn't help but sneer and said something sarcastic: "I told you! How can some people possibly endure loneliness? See, they're already hooking up, aren't they? I've seen it, even the physical examination thing last time was fake!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Fenghe turned around and gave Liu Cui a cold look, then asked calmly, "Auntie Zhang, do you smell the stinky swill?"
Zhang Zhou was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the look Chen Fenghe was giving her, she reacted and immediately said, "Now that you mention it, it seems that there really is...whose swill was spilled? This is..."
Chen Fenghe sniffed deliberately, then looked at Liu Cui and said, "This smell... seems to be coming from you, right? Even though you're on the road to exile, you're really not paying attention to cleanliness, are you?"
Liu Cui's face turned red and blue in an instant, and she quickly sniffed herself secretly.
The conditions were harsh, and she hadn't taken a shower in several days...
"Chen...Chen Fenghe! Don't talk nonsense! I...I don't smell like swill at all!"
Chen Fenghe glared at her coldly and said, "No? Why do you have such a foul mouth? You can ruin other people's reputations without even opening your mouth? If I hear you making up stories about me again, don't blame me for slapping you in the face!"
Liu Cui finally reacted and said angrily, "Chen Fenghe, if you weren't having an affair with Zhang Zhou's son, why would she rush to help you push the cart..."
Qin Huanhuan had said before that Chen Fenghe had an affair with a police officer, so it was normal for the police officer to protect her.
But now that it was Zhang Yuan, who was also an exile, Liu Cui was not so worried.
However, before she could finish her words, there was a slap and Shen Fenghe slapped her in the face.
"I warned you. If you dare to say another word, I'll beat you till your teeth are shattered!" Chen Fenghe said coldly.
A red palm mark suddenly appeared on Liu Cui's face, and she was so ashamed and angry that tears were about to flow!
She looked at Yuan Xun for help: "Master Yuan, she...she committed a crime in the street, and you didn't do anything?!"
Before Yuan Xun could say anything, the others spoke up first: "Madam Liu, Miss Shen warned you, but it was because you insisted that she took action. Don't be so unreasonable!"
"That's right. Along the way, I saw you, the Qin family, bullying a few women and children. You are not ashamed at all!"
Seeing this, Liu Cui didn't dare to say anything more. She walked away with her face flushed with embarrassment.
Zhang Yuan helped push the cart, and everyone bought some needlework, food and other things before going back.
When I passed by the fur shop, I happened to see a few people coming out of the fur shop.
The leading man was startled when he saw someone walking across the street.
Isn’t the woman in green the one he met on the mountain before?
It turned out that this man was Jiang Shuo.
But he immediately saw a big man pushing a cart beside her, and his eyes couldn't help but dim a little.
That big man must be her husband, right?
