The mute girl kept this matter in mind. Regardless of whether she believed that stargazing could be so magical, the change in Qian's attitude towards her alone was strange.
It is better to believe it than not. If next year is really a year of disaster, she will have to prepare some supplies and earn both silver and money points.
She finished the last mouthful of soup, and seeing that everyone at the table had almost finished eating, she took out two handfuls of chocolate balls and placed them on the table.
Everyone was attracted by her actions.
"Mute girl, what is this? Mud?" Jiang Sanlang asked.
Jiang Wei, who still had some hidden food in her pocket, couldn't help but answer first: "It's candy, it's so delicious!"
Qian Xiuzhu asked in surprise, "Where did this strange candy come from?"
The mute girl looked at Jiang Wei, who acted as a spokesperson and explained, "The mute girl said she found it."
The mute girl stood up and distributed one to everyone around the table.
Old Man Jiang didn't expect that he would have one too. He felt warm and at the same time a little amused. He picked up the candy in front of him and handed it to the mute girl. "It's a child's toy. I don't want it. Mute girl, you eat it!"
The mute girl shook her head repeatedly.
Spokesperson Jiang Wei hurriedly said, "Master, try it. This candy is fragrant and sweet. It's delicious. It's the best candy I've ever eaten! And the mute girl said she has a lot!"
"It's really delicious!" Jiang Sanlang said in surprise after putting the candy in his mouth.
Old man Jiang smiled, picked up the candy, looked at it carefully, and finally put it into his mouth under the expectant gaze of everyone.
The mute girl ran straight back to her bedroom, found a piece of plain cloth, poured the chocolate balls in the bag onto the cloth, and ran back to the main room with them.
When they saw the cloth covered with candies, everyone opened their mouths in surprise. They thought Jiang Wei was just joking, but who would have thought it was true?
Jiang Dalang couldn't help but ask: "Where did you pick up so many?"
Qian Xiuzhu was worried that the mute girl was being bullied, so she grabbed her thin wrist and asked hurriedly, "Did you give you candy because you were bullied badly?"
Jiang Wei standing by was dumbfounded. Why didn’t she think of this?
Seeing that everyone's expressions were becoming increasingly strange, the mute girl quickly shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
Although everyone had doubts, they also knew that the mute girl could not speak and was afraid that she could not gesture clearly, so they stopped asking and just thought that the mute girl was lucky.
The mute girl took the opportunity to gesture out her purpose. After a long while of gestures, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jiang Erlang, who understood, asked, "Do you want to take this to town to sell?"
The mute girl nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Erlang was silent as she looked at him with her sparkling eyes. Was this still his timid and obedient youngest sister?
"This candy is really good and can be sold at a good price." Jiang Dalang said to Qian Xiuzhu while savoring the half-eaten candy in his mouth: "Mom, let them do whatever they want. You just need to check it from behind."
As he said this, he stuffed the remaining half of the candy into Zheng Li Niang's mouth, and then stuffed the candy in front of Zheng Li Niang into Zheng Li Niang's hand.
Zheng Li'niang was stunned, then her face turned red with shame and she glared at him angrily.
"Mom, I'll go to town with you." Jiang Erlang said.
Jiang Sanlang also echoed.
Finally, when Boss Jiang pushed a cart out the door, everyone followed him to town except Jiang Dalang and Zheng Li'niang who stayed at home to look after the house.
The nearest town to Shili Village is called Ping'an Town. Yamei has no memory of this town, so she sat in the car with anticipation in her eyes.
Unlike her, Jiang Wei, who was also sitting in the car, fell asleep as soon as she got in.
The road they were walking on had once been repaired by wealthy gentry, but over time, it was still full of potholes. The mute girl was full of envy for Jiang Wei. Being able to sleep soundly on such a bumpy road was also a skill.
Along the way, Futuan's reminder sound rang from time to time. She could hear it clearly, but she was powerless to do anything. Finally, she directly ordered Tuanzi to mute the sound, so Futuan went to sleep.
Yamei found it quite strange. In the novels she had read, the systems seemed to be emotionless robots, but Futuan's behavior did not seem like a robot at all.
It took about two hours to walk from Shili Village to the town. By the time everyone stopped, sweating profusely, it was already Weishi (13:00-15:00).
The mute girl walked and took the car at times along the way, but she didn't feel tired. Although she was small in body, she was an adult with no blood relationship with them psychologically, and she couldn't ask for whatever she wanted from her original parents.
Soon she was attracted by the primitive commodity trading market in front of her. Ping'an Town was not big. According to Boss Jiang, the shops that could trade only occupied three streets at most, and you could see the end of them at a glance.
There were just too many people coming and going. The county town was too far away, so if the villagers wanted to buy something, the best option was to go to town, where at least they could get more stuff than at the big market.
She stared at a stall selling bamboo baskets for a long time and found that not all people here used silver and money to trade. On the contrary, barter seemed to be more common.
She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She had originally wanted to set the price of the chocolate balls higher, but now it seemed that she was afraid that they wouldn't sell. However, she didn't want to sell them at a low price either. After all, they were exchanged for twenty points!
Old Man Jiang took Old Man Jiang and his wife to buy food, and told Jiang Erlang to take good care of his younger brothers and sisters. Then the three of them pushed the cart away.
When the three figures disappeared in the crowd, three pairs of eyes looked at the mute girl with burning gazes.
Mute girl:······
Can she, can she say she regrets it?
cannot.
"Mute sister, second brother will take you to a place where you should be able to sell the candy!" Jiang Erlang smiled, obviously very confident.
Jiang Sanlang nodded in agreement, "Mute sister, Second Brother is well-connected in town, so it's definitely a good idea to ask him out!"
The mute girl looked at Jiang Wei, who was eager to make something. She saw her face flushed red, and she stretched out her hand in front of the mute girl with her palm facing up. "I want some candy!"
His tone was righteous and confident, without a trace of shame.
"Sister Wei, are you ashamed?" Jiang Sanlang looked at his elder sister with disdain.
"Humph! I'm not hiding it, don't you want to eat it too?"
While the two were bickering, the mute girl took out four chocolate balls from her small bag and gave one to each of them.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Erlang took the man to an inconspicuous shop.
The mute girl tilted her head to look at the name of the shop - He Ji Grocery Store.
It's nice to have candy in the grocery store, but the price is definitely not high, right? Although she didn't hold out hope, seeing Jiang Erlang's confident look, the mute girl didn't discourage him.
As soon as Jiang Erlang walked into the shop, the clerk who was busy wiped the sweat from his face and hurried to greet him.
"Erlang, why are you here?"
"Brother Huzi, I'm here to see Uncle He. I want to discuss a business deal with him." Jiang Erlang stated his purpose with a smile.
"Oh, you came at an unfortunate time. Uncle He just went out and won't be back for a while!" Hu Zi glanced at the three little ones following behind Jiang Erlang and said enthusiastically, "Are these your brothers and sisters? Come on in for a while, it's hot outside!"
Jiang Erlang turned around and glanced at the three of them and said, "They are being naughty. Don't disrupt the business of the shop..."
"Your sister-in-law is my sister-in-law, why are you being polite?"
As he was speaking, an old man with black and white hair and beard walked hurriedly into the shop.
