Chapter 559 Can You Afford It?
In this era, women are easily bullied if they do not have a strong family to support them.
The Shen family is very nice, but the deep-rooted ideas in Liang's mind still make her feel insecure.
In northern Hubei, after establishing this relationship, Liang Cheng became her support.
Shen Qingqian knew it was one thing, but she actually couldn't understand it.
Because in her time, many women were strong enough that they didn't need anyone to rely on; they were their own support.
As the saying goes, if you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. You have to rely on yourself for everything.
Just like the current situation, although she placed some hope on Sheng Ze to help the Shen family get rid of their status as exiles, she did not intend to rely entirely on him.
What Shen Xiao did in the Military Equipment Bureau, what she did in the Military Medical Department, and what Shen Yong might accomplish in the army in the future, all of these were the basis for the Shen family to get rid of their status as exiles.
Even if Shengze fails in the end, the Shen family will not suffer too much with the support of these few people.
Unfortunately, Liang didn't seem to understand this.
The next morning, Shen Shan accompanied Shen Qingqian to the city to buy groceries, and went to Yunzhongxian to deliver seasonings.
Shen Qingqian decided to keep doing the all-purpose seasoning business as long as she had the conditions. If she really couldn't do it, she wouldn't lose anything. After all, she could still stock up and continue doing it when she could.
Li Hezhou happened to be in the store that day. When he saw Shen Qingqian coming, he immediately put away his listless look.
"Sixth Miss, why are you here?"
Shen Qingqian looked at him in surprise and asked, "Mr. Li, have you forgotten that today is the day we agreed to pay the seasoning every month?"
"Uh, I didn't forget, haha, please come in, let's talk upstairs." Li Hezhou warmly invited the two to go upstairs.
Shen Qingqian didn't agree and handed the package to him, "No, we have other things to do, please have someone count it."
Li Hezhou's face froze, but he quickly asked the shopkeeper to come over to settle the bill.
"The quantity is fine, Sixth Miss. This is one hundred and fifty taels. Please keep it." The shopkeeper smiled and handed three fifty-tael silver ingots to Shen Qingqian.
Shen Qingqian took it, put it in her cloth bag, waved, turned around and left.
After coming out, she found an opportunity to put the silver into the system warehouse.
"Sixth sister, where should we go first?" Shen Shan asked while driving.
Because they wanted to buy quite a few things, they did not choose to store the mule cart today.
Shen Qingqian thought for a moment and said, "Let's go buy some candy first."
Shen Shan drove her to a grocery store and said, "I heard that the things here are cheap and they are quite affordable by the pound."
This was what the lady said when he asked someone last time.
Shen Qingqian walked into the store, looked around, and didn't see what she wanted, so she had to call the shop assistant over, "Brother, don't you have any sugar?"
The clerk turned around from another well-dressed couple and saw Shen Qingqian in a thorny cloth skirt and Shen Shan in a shorts. Disdain flashed in his eyes and he pointed towards the corner of the shop, "Here, over there."
Shen Qingqian was not irritated by his attitude. She was just here to buy something and she was in a hurry.
But when she walked to the corner and took a look, she frowned and turned to ask the shop assistant, "Why is your sugar not white?"
The wooden basin in front of me contains light yellow granular sugar, which is not the common white sugar in modern times.
"Haha, our store is not qualified to sell that kind of sugar. The lighter the color of the sugar, the more expensive it is. The ones that are close to white are sold for eight hundred coins per pound. Can you afford it?" The shop assistant looked at Shen Qingqian with sarcasm.
