Chapter 229: Grabbing Silver



Song Ning jumped down from the shaft of the cart briskly, "Sister Feng, let's talk for a moment."

Pulling Feng Jiuyan aside, Song Ning took out a piece of silver from her sleeve, stuffed it into Feng Jiuyan's hand, and said shyly, "Sister Feng, can you buy me some menstrual belts?"

Feng Jiuyan nodded and smiled, "Of course. In addition to the menstrual belt, do you need to buy anything else?"

Song Ning shook his head in embarrassment, "It should be unnecessary."

Feng Jiuyan took the change from Song Ning and said with a smile, "Okay, no problem. Don't worry."

The two returned to the donkey cart, and Feng Jiuyan asked Song Chen, "What about you? Do you need me to bring you anything?"

Song Chen nodded, took out three taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into Feng Jiuyan's hand. "Then please trouble Miss Feng to buy two catties of meat and two catties of brown rice for us."

Song Chen couldn't bear to see his sister starving with him, so he wanted to take this opportunity to buy some meat for his sister to nourish her body.

This was the little silver he had left.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

At this time, Wang Datou was still mobilizing everyone to pay to enter the city, and even used his power to coerce the prisoners to pay to enter the city.

Feng Jiuyan saw that it would be difficult for him to gather eight people who were willing to pay to enter the town, so he went to wait under a willow tree.

I broke off a willow branch and played with it in my hand. I got bored of waiting, so I took a leisurely walk within the range of my movement.

As luck would have it, a young man passed by holding a purse and happily counting money.

"One tael, two taels, three taels, hehe, four taels..." He counted the money and let out a few silly laughs.

Feng Jiuyan glanced and saw that it was her good cousin, Feng Qingyun.

Feng Qingyun also saw Feng Jiuyan, and instantly a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Cousin, are you going into the city too?" He showed his eight big white teeth and smiled happily.

Also? Feng Jiuyan raised her eyebrows. How could her good second aunt be willing to spend eight taels of silver to enter the town?

But when she thought that this was her precious son, it was nothing strange at all.

Feng Jiuyan looked at Feng Qingyun carefully.

Feng Qingyun's originally fair face had become darker, and he seemed to have become thinner. However, his dark skin made him look healthier.

The fatigue and decadence in his eyes, perhaps because they were about to enter the town, also dissipated a lot.

Feng Jiuyan didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Feng Qingyun’s gaze at her was somewhat hot, and there seemed to be a hint of gloating in it.

Could it be that her second aunt and her family are planning something bad again?

Humph, no matter what bad ideas they have, she will not let them succeed!

Feng Jiuyan blinked her big, lively eyes, "Yes, cousin, are you going into town to buy things too?"

Hearing Feng Jiuyan calling him cousin, Feng Qingyun smiled even more happily.

His mother said that he must build good relations with Feng Jiuyan's family.

Thinking of this, Feng Qingyun smiled even brighter and nodded quickly, "Yes. Mother told me to go into town to buy some food."

As if he had thought of something, his excited voice became a little low, and he looked at Feng Jiuyan with a sad look, "In addition to buying food, I also need to buy some medicine for Dad. The wound on Dad's palm is very red and swollen, and pus is oozing. The flesh around the wound is a little rotten."

After saying that, Feng Qingyun looked at Feng Jiuyan expectantly. He hoped that Feng Jiuyan could help his father treat the wound so that he could save some money to buy food.

What's more, the wound on his father's palm was also stabbed by Feng Jiuyan. He hoped that speaking out would make his cruel cousin feel guilty.

However, Feng Jiuyan had no guilt at all and simply ignored his words. He glanced at the purse in Feng Qingyun's hand and asked, "Cousin, your purse has so much money! It's bulging."

Feng Qingyun smiled, with a proud look on his face, "Of course, this is what my mother gave me, so it's naturally worth it."

Seeing the envy in Feng Jiuyan's eyes, Feng Qingyun said quickly, "Cousin, are you short of money? Can your cousin give it to you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Jiuyan quickly snatched the purse from Feng Qingyun's hand, his face full of emotion, "Cousin, you are so kind! I am indeed short of money, so thank you very much. I will take A'li to buy delicious food later!"

After saying that, Feng Jiuyan quickly ran back to the donkey cart with the purse.

Feng Jiuyan's series of actions dumbfounded Feng Qingyun. This was not what he meant!

Woo woo woo, he was just asking politely, he didn’t really want to give her money!

How could this man be so shameless? Can't you tell that this is just a polite remark from him?

Feng Qingyun chased a few steps in the direction of Feng Jiuyan, wanting to rush up and take the silver back from the stinky girl. But he stopped when he remembered what his mother had told him.

He looked unwilling, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He had already planned that once he entered the town, he would use the money to buy a roasted chicken and eat as much as he could. Then he would go to a restaurant, order two dishes, and treat himself. Then, he would buy some fresh pork and a few pounds of brown rice to improve his diet.

But who would have thought that before he could even warm up the money, it was snatched away by his bandit cousin.

Feng Qingyun regretted it so much that he slapped himself on the face several times.

I told you to be mean! I told you to be quick-tongued! I told you to be brainless!

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. Finally, he couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears with a loud "wow".

"Wow, my silver, my roast chicken! My braised pork, they're all gone, all gone!" Feng Qingyun cried in grievance.

Such a tall young man burst into tears in public, which attracted the attention of many prisoners. Many people pointed at Feng Qingyun with ridicule in their eyes.

Seeing her precious son crying, the Second Lady couldn't help but get anxious. She ran over, patted Feng Qingyun's back, and asked worriedly, "Yun'er, what's wrong with you? Weren't you very happy just now?"

Hearing her mother's voice, Feng Qingyun turned her head and buried herself in Madam Feng Er's arms, crying even louder.

"Wow, wow, wow, mother, my money, all the money is gone! Feng Jiuyan stole it!"

Madam Feng Er: “…” She was also dumbfounded.

"What did you say? Feng Jiuyan robbed your silver? Tell your mother quickly!" She was also a little anxious. That was the only silver her family had left. There would be no more!

Feng Qingyun told Madam Feng Er exactly what had happened in a disjointed manner.

Madam Feng Er: "......"

Is this ok?

That girl is so abominable!

Is she a bandit?

Just now she thought that if it was really taken away by that girl, she could still go up and get it back.

Who would have thought that it was her silly son who asked others whether they wanted it or not!

Now is not the time to fall out.

There was no choice but to accept the defeat.

Madam Feng Er was filled with hatred and gnashed her teeth as she stared at Feng Jiuyan, who was grinning and laughing happily.

Humph, you little stinky girl, you’ll be in trouble when we get to Qingzhou Prefecture!
