After lunch, the official shopping began.
This time I plan to buy not only food but also some vegetables.
I have to say, after eating wild vegetables for so long, even my burps almost taste like wild vegetables.
Xianliang County was not considered droughty before, and the temperature has risen quickly, so there are still people selling vegetables now.
But, the price is indeed not a little bit expensive.
Zhao gritted her teeth and bought only enough for two meals, unwilling to spend more. Just this small amount of water celery, only six or seven pounds, cost her a full fifty coins!
Hiss~~~It hurts!
The price of grain here is also high, but this time Zhao did not buy coarse grains, but instead bought 30 kilograms of low-quality rice.
There was still a lot of coarse grains left at home mixed with small bells, so she just wanted to buy some fine grains for the children to change their taste.
After all, traveling is too tiring, and the children cannot lack nutrition.
Sun was reluctant to buy fine grains, so she bought coarse rice and black flour. With a wave of her hand, she bought 60 kilograms of each, enough to eat until she reached Chen'an Mansion.
Because they bought a lot, the grain store could help with the delivery. After paying a deposit, they asked them to deliver it directly to the fleet outside the city. They could just pay the bill when they returned later.
In addition to food, some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were also added.
However, just as everyone was about to come out of the grocery store, they heard a commotion.
Zhao looked over and found a group of people gathered not far from the grocery store. It was a huge crowd, as if something big had happened.
Puzzled, she asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, what kind of shop is that over there? Why is it so busy?"
The grocery store manager glanced at the shop and said helplessly, "Who else could it be? The Qian family's cloth shop. There's always a fight going on. It's really annoying."
When Zhao heard that it was a cloth shop, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.
If she remembered correctly, the second uncle of Shuxu's two children seemed to work in a cloth shop, right?
She picked up Xiao Lingling and rushed to the crowded place. Sun frowned and hurriedly followed her.
There were quite a lot of people gathered around, three layers inside and three layers outside, and they were surrounding Qian's Cloth Shop.
Although Zhao and the others were anxious, there were too many people and they couldn't squeeze in for the time being, but they could vaguely hear the noise inside.
"Well, you two little bastards, we don't even know you, yet you come up here and blackmail us, what are you up to?"
"Aunt, it doesn't matter if you don't know me. I just want my uncle to come out. Aunt, you can't possibly not even know my uncle, right? If you don't know him, I think the neighbors should know him. My uncle's name is Chen Zhuang. Does anyone in the village know him?"
"You! Stop trying to claim kinship with me! Your second uncle married into our family a long time ago and severed ties with your Chen family. There's no way you can claim kinship with me. Go back to where you came from!"
"I'm telling you! You can deny me, but you have to let my second uncle come out and say it himself! It's useless if you say it. Unless you beat me to death, I will never leave!"
"Alright, alright, you've grown wings. Do you really think I dare not hit you? Come on, bring me a cane! I just don't believe I can't deal with you two little brats!"
"Brother, does Second Uncle really not want us anymore? Do we really have no home?"
"Don't cry, Qiaomei. Second Uncle won't do that. We'll just wait here. Second Uncle will definitely come out. Uncle Lin, you guys can go back. We've already found Second Uncle. Don't worry, we'll be fine."
"No, your grandmother Zhao said that I have to hand you over to your second uncle personally. Don't worry, we will wait with you."
"You're sure you don't want to leave, right? Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Ah! You, don't hit my brother, let's leave now, let's leave now."
......
Zhao was furious as she listened outside, but she really couldn't squeeze in.
Xiao Lingdang couldn't help it and patted her grandmother's shoulder. Zhao immediately understood and quickly put her down.
Xiao Lingling made full use of her small size and squeezed through the crowd in no time.
I saw a woman in red standing at the door of the cloth shop, whipping the rattan in her hand viciously.
Chen Shuxu just turned his back to her and let her hit him, but he was only holding Qiaomei in his arms.
Lin Yue wanted to go forward to help, but Chen Shuxu stopped him by shaking his head.
He didn't want the Lin family to come into conflict with the Qian family because of him. This family was not a good family, and he couldn't cause trouble for the Lin family anymore.
Chen Shuxu was beaten to pieces, and the people watching around him couldn't help but gasp. Qiaomei cried heart-wrenchingly, breathing rapidly, and her face turned red.
Xiao Lingling was so angry that she clenched her fists and rushed forward, hitting the woman's leg directly.
“Ouch!”
The woman was caught off guard and her right leg suddenly felt sore after being hit by Xiao Lingling. She lost her balance and fell straight back to the ground.
Xiao Lingling stood in front of Chen Shuxu angrily.
"You are such a wicked woman, so cruel to your own father and mother! You have done so many evil things in your life, and you are about to be in big trouble. You will get your retribution!"
The woman had just been helped up by the servants, and her face froze instantly when she heard her words.
When the people around who were watching the fun saw her reaction, they also started talking.
"Shh~ Come to think of it, it seems like it's been a long time since I last saw Old Qian and his wife. The last time I saw them was probably before the New Year."
"That's true. I always thought they were too busy and didn't think much of it, but Qian Mi's expression just now was not right."
"Yeah, could she have really done anything to Old Qian and his wife? They are her biological parents!"
......
Xiao Lingdang didn't care about that. Seeing Qiaomei crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, she quickly asked Chen Shuxu to put her down.
Xiao Lingdang immediately imitated her master and pressed the acupoints on Qiaomei's hand for a long time before she recovered.
"Brother Shuxu, Sister Qiaomei can't be provoked anymore, or something bad will happen!"
Shuxu's eyes were red as he hugged Qiaomei tightly, but he had no idea what to do.
Qian Mi was so angry that her teeth were itching and beads of sweat were breaking out on her forehead. She looked at the bean-sized little bell and raised her arm to hit it.
Lin Yue couldn't help it at this moment, "If you dare to hit my niece, I will fight you to the death!"
Lin Guang was not willing to be left behind, "Count me in!"
Qian Mi was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she didn't dare to attack again. "I have no grudge against you, you'd better get away and don't interfere in our family's affairs!
And those two money-losing bastards, go back to where you came from. Your second uncle is not here, and even if he was, he would definitely not care about you two burdens! "
Seeing that she spoke too harshly, Xiao Lingling glanced at the shiny black energy above her head and became furious. She immediately decided not to give her any more face.
