Chapter 61: Focusing on the Wrong Things

Because of the geographical location, there are many merchants coming from the south to the north in the county. Wang Ru saved a bastard who was almost killed by his stepmother. After knowing the name, she felt familiar. This bastard not only killed my legitimate brother, but also got involved in the fight to seize the legitimate wife. In the end, he was defeated and died. He is one of the villains.

Wang Ru then realized that she had traveled through time to the book and knew that Xue Han was the heroine. Years later, she began to target Xue Han and the Zhou family.

Zhulan had a toothache and she regretted it so much that she couldn't even breathe smoothly. She was angry at first why the novel didn't specify who became the emperor at the beginning, and then she was angry at herself why she didn't insist on finishing it. Even if she failed, she could still analyze who became the emperor according to the plot later!

Zhulan covered her chest with her hands, but it was too late to regret.

Zhou Shuren was very worried about Zhulan's change, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhulan was afraid that Wang Ru would notice something, "I feel a little nauseous from the bumpy ride. I ate too much for breakfast, so I shouldn't have had an extra bowl of egg cake."

Yes, it was that luxurious. I beat six eggs in the morning and steamed four large bowls of egg cake. There were two large bowls for one table and each person could have a small bowl.

She had to thank her parents for this. Zhulan felt the need to beg for money, and she begged very hard. She brought back fifty eggs, two kilograms of dates, ten kilograms of millet, two kilograms of cakes, half a kilogram of honey, and ten kilograms of pine nuts from her parents' home, all for her to replenish her body.

We originally didn’t sell the eggs at home, but they laid quite a few eggs a day, and we got another fifty, which benefited the whole family.

Zhulan didn't realize at all that she had attracted a wave of hatred. Wang Laosi and his daughter were hungry on the ox cart, and they had run out of food at home last night.

Zhou Shuren glared at Zhou Lao Da, "Don't you see your mother is in pain? Hurry up."

Boss Zhou, "......."

He felt wronged. The cow was very tired from taking care of her calf yesterday. He didn't dare to hurry today because the ox cart was moving very slowly!

Zhulan felt guilty that Boss Zhou took the blame, but then she felt justified. It was only right for a son to take the blame for his mother, but she still had a conscience. "Don't blame Boss Zhou. I am feeling much better now and I want to eat everything."

Zhou Shuren pursed his lips and said, "Eating too much cornmeal is not good for your health. Save more fine grains this year and don't eat coarse grains in the future."

Wang Ru pinched her palms in jealousy. She couldn't even have the cheapest wild vegetable cakes to eat, but he actually said in front of her that he would only eat fine grains in the future. Her chest was burning with anger.

Very good, the couple had perfectly raised the hatred value. Afterwards, the two who started the conversation talked about food all the way to the county town.

When they arrived at the county town, Wang Laosi could no longer bear it. After thanking Wang Ru, he left quickly with her.

Boss Zhou was unhappy. "I gave them a ride out of kindness, why are you so sullen?"

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren looked up at the sky. The weather was really nice today!

At first they didn't notice the enmity, but later they noticed it and realized it was intentional. They didn't want to go back to the village and attract Wang Laosi and his daughter for free.

Zhou Shuren patted Boss Zhou on the head and said, "Stop complaining and go to the clothing store."

Boss Zhou: ".......Yeah."

Why did he feel that his parents looked at him as if he were a fool? It must be his illusion!

Although the county town is not big, it is very prosperous because it is an important transportation hub. The clothing stores are very high-end and you can find popular styles from the south. It’s just that the prices are not very attractive.

After leaving home, Zhulan took out twenty-two taels of silver. Who told Zhou Shuren that he was going to do the job of appraising antiques, and the attire was very important. He had to look like someone from a wealthy family, but not look too shabby, so that he could be more convincing and fool savvy merchants.

The clothes were easy to buy. I bought three sets in total, two for going out to fool people, and one for dressing like a scholar. That still cost me eighteen taels!

Boss Zhou squatted at the door of the store with a heartache. He could not bear it any longer. He did not notice that his family had just spent ten taels to buy a cow, and his parents spent another eighteen taels, which exceeded the savings he had calculated for his family!

Zhu Lan had a wooden face. Her eldest son's focus was on the wrong thing. This time she brought him here without avoiding him because she wanted to reveal some of the family's wealth.

Zhou Shuren's mouth twitched, and he would definitely keep his eldest grandson by his side in the future!
