"Yan Yan, I'm glad you're okay. You've been separated from that family for so long and have severed all ties with them. How dare they bother you?"
"How shameless! People like that shouldn't be shown mercy. They should be severely beaten."
"If I could get out now, I would definitely beat them up and teach them a lesson about who to mess with and who not to mess with."
"Okay, Jinnian, let's not talk about those scumbags anymore. Let's eat quickly. It's been a while since we've been to town."
"I'll go there this afternoon to sell the herbs I found yesterday and before, and also buy some meat, fruit, and snacks."
"Okay, Yanyan."
After Tang Shiyan finished her meal, she took out the medicinal herbs that were stored in the space and put them in a sack. It was another full sack.
I tied it to the back seat of the bicycle, put on my cross-body bag, and rode my bicycle to town.
The roads nowadays are not as good as those in later generations. There are potholes everywhere and lots of stones. Riding a bike will make it crooked and it is not easy to ride at all.
It took Tang Shiyan almost forty minutes to reach the town by bicycle, but it was still faster than riding a ox cart.
When she arrived in town, she went straight to the herbal medicine shop. The owner of the shop, Wang Meijuan, was cleaning the herbs there. When she saw Tang Shiyan, she immediately put down her work and came over to greet her.
"Tang girl, you're here. You brought such a big bag of herbs today. You're really a hardworking person. You bring a big bag of herbs to sell every few days."
"Some girls your age just want to have fun all day and do nothing. They don't even think about making money."
"Aunt, that's because they have parents to support them. I rely on myself for everything and can't be compared with them."
"Tang girl, I'm sorry, I forgot you said you were a human being before. I'm so mean. Why did I say that?"
"Auntie, it's okay. Please help me check and weigh the herbs. I still need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things."
"Okay, Tang girl, wait a moment, I'll weigh you right away."
The two of them took the herbs off the bicycle. Wang Meijuan opened the bag and took a look. She weighed each herb, calculated the price in a notebook, and showed it to Tang Shiyan.
After Tang Shiyan took the notebook and read it, she calculated that it was true. The medicinal herbs she always found were good ones.
Because she went to the deep mountains to pick the herbs, they were much better than the herbs they picked in the back mountains last time.
After the two of them confirmed that the calculation was correct, Wang Meijuan took out the money from her pocket, counted it, and handed it to Tang Shiyan. She took the money, counted it, and put it in her pocket.
"Auntie, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving first."
"Okay, Tang girl, take care."
Tang Shiyan rode her bike quickly to the sales counter. She went to the meat stall first and bought pork chops, steaks, pork belly, beef, and two fish.
I went to the vegetable area and bought cabbage, garlic sprouts, white radish, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
Finally, I bought apples, bananas, pears, and other snacks, filling several large bags.
Every time she came to the supply and marketing cooperative, she would buy several large bags of things. Every time the people in the supply and marketing cooperative saw her buying so many things, they would be jealous and even talk about her behind her back.
She doesn't care about those people's opinions and thoughts. Let them talk whatever they want. As long as she lives a good and comfortable life, that's enough. If they like to be jealous, then let them be.
Tang Shiyan walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative with her things in her hands, put them on her bicycle, tied it up, and rode towards home.
As soon as I arrived in the village, it was time to get off work. Although the things I bought were packed in bags, some sharp-eyed aunties still saw me when I rode my bike past.
An aunt said sarcastically, "Look, isn't that Tang girl? She didn't go to work this afternoon and went to town to buy so many things."
"She's really a little girl, yet she buys so many things. She doesn't know how to save money at all and spends money lavishly."
Another aunt followed suit and said, "I don't know where she got the money to buy so many things. Didn't Mrs. Zhou say last time that her money was stolen?"
"Could it be that this little girl stole it? Otherwise, how would she have the money to buy these things?"
"That's hard to say. I never thought this little girl had that kind of habit. She's already learned to be sneaky at such a young age."
The other aunts also echoed: "If someone in our family was like that, I would have broken her legs long ago."
"She spends money so extravagantly, eats meat every day, buys fruits and snacks. If anyone dares to marry her in the future, no matter how big the family is, she will squander it all."
"Also, you see, the clothes she wears lately are all patchless. I don't know where she got them."
"Could it be that one of the two men who brought her back from the city last time when we went to buy orange saplings took a fancy to her and bought them for her?"
An aunt said, "That's possible. After they unloaded the orange saplings from the truck, didn't this girl Tang take those two men to her house to cook and eat?"
"I don't know what tricks she used, but as soon as she entered the city, a man took a fancy to her, bought her clothes, and even sent her back."
"What tricks could she use? Of course she relies on her seductive face to seduce people. Those men are really stupid. They let them spend money just because of her face."
Several aunts gathered together, talking excitedly.
Fortunately, Tang Shiyan didn’t hear it, otherwise it would have been another unlucky day for those aunts.
Tang Shiyan returned home and packed up the things she bought, putting some of them in the space. In this day and age, there are still many people with dirty hands and feet.
I plan to make steak and white radish stew, shredded cabbage, cucumber salad, braised fish, and stir-fried pork in a pot tonight. I'll put these dishes outside.
I left some fruits and snacks outside and put the rest into the space. After I finished cleaning everything, I started to cook dinner.
At this time, Xia Jinnian and Xiaotian also came out of the space. After this period of sparring with Xiaotian and Tang Shiyan's guidance.
Xia Jinnian's kung fu has improved a lot, and is basically on par with Tang Shiyan. He has almost recovered from his injuries here, and it is time for him to return to the army.
Although he was reluctant to leave Tang Shiyan, he also had his responsibilities. When he returned to the army, he would explain the situation to his superiors and then he could take her with him.
"Yan Yan, you're back from town and bought so many delicious things."
"Let me see what you bought. Wow, there's fish, steak, pork ribs, pork belly, fruits, and snacks. They're all delicious."
