Jiang Erlang agreed with a smile, without saying that this was a one-time deal.
The four of them were back on the street, all delighted.
"Mute sister, you are too bold in asking a price. I'm worried that the uncle will kick us out!" Jiang Sanlang had a face full of fear, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, I didn't expect that a candy that looks like sheep dung eggs would be so valuable... Why are you all looking at me?"
The mute girl felt like vomiting and looked away unable to bear it.
Jiang Erlang's face turned green. "You are such a nice girl, but you have such a big mouth. You should talk less in the future."
Jiang Sanlang wanted to take action directly, but was stopped by Jiang Erlang.
Jiang Wei felt that her second and third brothers bullied her, and that her mute sister was the better one, so she took her mute sister's hand and left with a wronged look.
Mute girl: It’s not that she doesn’t mind, she just can’t say it.
The three of them didn't say a word about what to do with the money, as if it was natural for the mute girl to take it. But the mute girl was not a stingy person. When she passed by the bun shop, she insisted on buying two meat buns for three cents each for the whole family.
As the saying goes, a half-grown boy can eat his father out of poverty. Young people get hungry quickly. Although they had eaten about 70% to 80% full in the morning, they were already starving at this time. The brothers and sisters ate buns happily as they walked.
When the mute girl saw people selling pork and mutton, she wanted to buy them. When she saw a clothing store, she wanted to go into it. When she saw a mutton soup and noodle shop, she wanted to eat them very much. She didn't know if it was because of her physical condition, but she, who didn't crave meat much in modern times, felt that the smell of meat in this era was particularly tempting.
It’s a pity that there are three people around her who hold her back, especially Jiang Erlang. Whenever she makes a move, this man pulls her to his side, as if he wants to put her in his pocket for fear of losing her.
Unable to buy anything, the mute girl was no longer willing to carry the copper coins. Two hundred copper coins were quite heavy, and the original owner was short to begin with. She was worried that carrying this heavy load would cause her to grow shorter, so she handed the small bag to Jiang Erlang, asking him to hold it.
Jiang Erlang looked at the back of the mute girl being pulled away by Jiang Wei, smiled and shook his head.
He had to find some time to get some information out of the mute girl. She had changed a lot in the past two days.
After the four siblings and Old Man Jiang and his two companions reunited, they saw that the cart pushed by Old Man Jiang was piled high with bags of grain.
"Why buy so much food?" Jiang Erlang exclaimed and walked forward.
Old man Jiang was very worried.
He just went to see an old friend, and when he came back, his son and daughter-in-law wanted to empty the family treasury to buy food. So what?
Even though there might be a disaster, there's still the autumn harvest! As long as we don't sell the harvest, we can still get by next year by adding a little more food and tightening our belts. How can we buy so much?
