Chapter 45 The Heroine Who Was Cannon Fodder After Entering the Book 25
The grocery store owner bought all the meat because it was fresh. He owned several grocery stores and could easily handle more than a thousand pounds of wolf meat.
Wolf meat was sold at thirty cents per pound, and more than twelve pounds were sold for thirty-six taels of silver. The wolf skin was not processed but was well preserved, so it was sold for eight taels of silver per piece, for a total of one hundred and forty-four taels of silver, exactly one hundred and eighty taels.
Seeing so much silver, Second Brother Su was beaming with joy. Big Brother Su, who was more reserved, also smiled unconsciously when he took the silver from the boss.
Su Xing held the heavy silver in his hand, slowly put away his smile, and looked at his sister who was becoming more and more beautiful, with mixed feelings in his heart.
All this money was earned by my younger sister, and our family is getting better and better because of her.
There is no doubt that my younger sister is capable, but she is still a girl. Even if she cannot be pampered like the girls from wealthy families, she cannot be made to work so hard every day.
It seems that I need to work harder. As a man and the eldest son, I should provide for my family.
I will try my best to pass the imperial examination this year. As long as I pass, I will be able to find more things to do, and my younger sister and parents won’t have to work so hard.
The three siblings found an inn to stay in and would go back tomorrow morning.
————
Time flies, and it is already late autumn. Two major events have happened in my family in the past few months.
One is that Brother Su passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, and the other is that Su Wang is going to join the army.
When Brother Su passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, the whole family was very happy, especially Su Dazhuang.
There was a big banquet in the village at that time. Everyone was in high spirits and kept toasting, and ended up drinking too much.
A big man over 1.8 meters tall was holding Su's mother's hand and crying and laughing. Su Li couldn't bear to watch.
If Brother Su passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, the whole family would be happy.
The whole family was worried and reluctant about the second brother Su joining the army. Even the joy of the eldest brother Su passing the imperial examination could not break the depressing atmosphere at home.
The imperial court has been at war for the past few years, and the monarch of Chu is still a wise ruler.
It's just that the previous emperor was too absurd and incompetent, causing internal and external troubles in Chu and making the people live in misery. As a result, he died, leaving a mess for the current emperor.
As the saying goes: When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer.
The people living in this era are really miserable. If the emperor is a ruthless ruler, the people can still survive by tightening their belts.
If the emperor is unkind, the people will suffer terribly. Selling children will be a common occurrence. Some people will do anything to survive.
The current emperor has only been on the throne for a few years, but it can be seen that he is a wise ruler who does practical things. As soon as he came to the throne, he reduced the people's taxes by half, and those who reclaimed wasteland and cultivated land did not have to pay taxes for three years.
Although people still live a hard life in recent years, as long as they are willing to work hard, they will not have to sell their children.
The reason why Su Wang was so determined to join the army was because the current emperor was a benevolent ruler.
He wants to contribute to the country and strive for a better future so that his family can live a better life.
Su Wang was going to join the army, and Su Li was well prepared. She had prepared some life-saving pills and medicine for Su Wang. She also gave him a protective talisman, asking him to carry it with him at all times, which could protect him three times at critical moments.
When practicing martial arts before, Su Li had subtly injected some spiritual power into Su Wang's body. Those spiritual powers could slowly transform Su Wang's body.
In order to allow his body to reach the best condition and to practice martial arts more effectively, Su Li has made so many preparations, and it seems that Su Wang will not die on the battlefield again.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Lele, who has no memory of her time before time travel, still becomes Qian Duobao’s concubine, just like in the book.
She had dressed up beautifully and brought a few maids with her to the Su family to find Su Li.
With that grand ceremony and Wang Lele's arrogant look at the time, people who didn't know the situation would have thought that she had married into a wealthy family and became a young lady.
Wang Lele herself didn't know why she wanted to surpass Su Li, but she just hated Su Li and loathed Su Li from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking he was superior to others, he could not wait to find Su Li, wanting her to see how well he was doing! He wanted to see the ferocious expression of envy and jealousy on Su Li's face.
Unfortunately, Su Li disappointed her. She didn't see any expression she wanted to see on Su Li's face except sarcasm.
Such a calm Su Li made Wang Lele even more angry. Why was he better than Su Li in every way, but she always acted superior!
I'm living a better life than her, so why doesn't she care? Why does she act so nonchalant and make me look like a clown?
Su Li still remembers how Wang Lele came in with an arrogant look on his face and left in a rage with a ferocious look on his face.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Wang Lele’s brain. She feels superior even though she is someone’s concubine.
Su Li was too lazy to pay attention to her now, so he let her jump around in Qian Duobao's backyard first. With her brain, she wouldn't have a good life under Qian Duobao's wife.
Li Tiezhu is also going to join the army as in the plot. He looks very listless and may have been really hurt by Wang Lele.
A woman was expressing her love to you two days ago and said she would not marry anyone else, but she turned around and threw herself into the arms of another man. Any man would feel uncomfortable for a few days!
At that time, when Li Tiezhu heard that Wang Lele was married, he couldn't believe it. He ran to Wang's house to look for her, only to find out that she was really married.
He thought she had her own difficulties, or was forced by her parents, so he went to the landlord Qian's house to look for her several times but didn't see her. He finally saw her after she returned to Xinghua Village.
But when he saw her, she said to him with disdain: "You are just a peasant, and you think you can eat swan meat? If I don't marry Qian Duobao, will I marry you and eat coarse food together?"
Li Tiezhu didn't believe that she thought this way. She had told him before that she only loved him, and they had already agreed to work hard together. As long as they were determined, he believed that his father would always agree. How could she dislike him?
But Wang Lele's contemptuous expression said it all; she really despised herself for being poor.
Li Tiezhu returned home in a daze and locked himself in the room and refused to come out.
The village head and his wife were very worried after seeing this and wanted to arrange another marriage for him, but Li Tiezhu refused.
More than a month passed like this, and the court issued a conscription notice, and he was about to join the army.
