"All this is due to my mother's teaching."
When praised by others, Gu Xiuwen did not feel proud at all, but instead gave the credit to Shen Ningsi.
"Hahaha... I didn't expect him to be such an honest child. Madam, you've taught him so well!"
The owner of the bun shop looked at Shen Ningsi with admiration. He didn't expect that this young lady, who was not very old, had educated her children so well.
Shen Ningsi was also in a very good mood. After talking to the boss for a few words, he started eating buns.
"Xiu Wen, Xiu Wu, Yun'er, how about we go buy an ox cart first? It's a bit inconvenient to hold An An and Kang Kang all the time, and they might not be very comfortable holding them like this."
Shen Ningsi looked at Gu Xiuwen and his two siblings.
Although she is the one who makes the final decision in the family, she always discusses everything with the children.
"Everything is up to mother."
Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu nodded.
"Wow...we're going to have a bullock cart at home. We won't have to walk when we go out!"
Gu Yuner immediately started dancing with joy, her face smiling like a blooming flower.
"Okay, let's go now!"
After Shen Ningsi finished speaking, he asked others about places that sold cows and ox carts.
Seeing that it was inconvenient for her to take care of several children alone, the other party simply took the mother and children with them.
"You're lucky, I have a few cows at home too, and my ability to look after them is no worse than those who sell them!"
Li Si led the way in front.
Shen Ningsi didn't expect that the passerby he just picked up turned out to be an expert and smiled.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Li!"
"It's okay. I'll help out as much as I can while I'm out here. It's not easy for a woman like you to take care of so many children!"
After a while, Li Si led them to a place where cattle were sold.
After some selection and bargaining, she bought a cow and an ox cart for fifty-four taels of silver.
"After buying the cattle, you have to report it to the government."
The man selling the cow didn't expect that he would actually sell the cow today.
You know, more than forty taels of silver is not something that an ordinary family can afford. He has brought this cow here dozens of times.
"It just so happens that I also need to report to the authorities that I have sold this cow. Come with me."
After listening to this, Shen Ningsi nodded gratefully.
I just turned around to look for Li Si and wanted to give him some reward, but he had already disappeared.
Shen Ningsi couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart. There are still many simple people in this era.
Soon they went to the government office, and both the buyers and sellers of the cattle reported to the government office.
Shen Ningsi went to the shop again and bought a straw mat and a few quilts to spread on the ox cart.
Then he put An An and Kang Kang on it.
Brothers Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu both drove ox carts, while Shen Ningsi and Gu Yuner sat on the ox carts.
After a while, it stopped at the door of the largest jewelry store in town.
The waiter at the door saw that they were coming in an ox cart, so he hurried over and put the cart aside.
"Mom, this is a jewelry store. Xiuwu and I won't go in. We'll stay here to take care of An'an and Kangkang."
"That's fine too!"
Shen Ningsi knew that in this era, men and women were required to keep a distance from each other, and in this era, the two brothers were not young anymore.
After a while, she led Gu Yuner into the jewelry shop.
When they bought the cow and the ox cart just now, they did not use the silver note that Gu Hong gave them.
"Yun'er, see if there's anything you like and I'll buy it for you!"
Shen Ningsi didn't quite understand the aesthetic tastes of women in this era, but as long as Gu Yuner liked it, that was fine.
"Tsk... You're so arrogant! You're saying you can buy whatever you like. Do you think all the jewelry here is cheap?"
Before Yun'er could speak, a woman with slightly fancy clothes looked at them with a sneer.
It was as if I had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"mother……"
Gu Yun'er's character was still very cowardly, and she was very keenly aware of the hostility of the strange woman in front of her towards her and her daughter.
"Don't be afraid, Yun'er. We are here to buy things, not to steal. Why should we pay attention to those random barking dogs?"
Shen Ningsi simply disdained to pay attention to this arrogant woman. Whether she could afford the things in this jewelry store was her business!
"How dare you, a country woman from the countryside, make up stories about me like this!"
The woman originally wanted to show her superiority over Shen Sining and her daughter, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't take her seriously at all and even made sarcastic remarks.
At this time, she was so angry that her pig face turned red.
The waiter was also a little confused when he saw this scene! He had been standing nearby and knew that it was the fat woman who provoked first.
Shen Ningsi was just fighting back.
"To plot against you? You're not worthy! If you hadn't provoked me first, I wouldn't have noticed there was... someone standing in front of me."
After Shen Ningsi said this, he subconsciously pulled Gu Yuner behind him.
"Hmph, you're such a smooth talker! Didn't you just boast? Then let's see who buys the most in this shop!"
The woman looked at Shen Si Ning and her daughter with disdain. Seeing how shabby they were dressed, how could they have any extra money to buy jewelry?
"Why should I compete with you? I come to this shop just to buy something that suits me."
Shen Ningsi looked at the woman as if she were a fool.
She didn't expect that there were people in this world who were so bored that they would meddle in other people's affairs.
"Hmph, if you don't dare to gamble, it proves that you just boasted. As long as you kneel at my feet and say you are wrong, I will be magnanimous and forgive you and your daughter. Otherwise..."
When the woman said this, a sinister smile appeared on her face.
"It's my fault that I didn't remind you that the county magistrate's third concubine is my own sister."
After the woman said this, she looked at Ana Shen with a proud look on her face.
"Mother, is the elder sister of the county magistrate's third concubine very powerful?"
Gu Yun'er had no idea about these things in officialdom. Looking at the arrogant look on the woman's face, she thought that the other party's identity was very important.
"It should be... as amazing as cowhide..."
Shen Ning wanted to say that the other party was very arrogant, but when he thought about the fact that there was no such word in this era, he just said it.
"Cow hide?"
Gu Yuner didn't understand what Shen Ningsi meant.
"I mean, her face is as thick as a cow's hide. She actually thinks it's respectable to be someone else's third wife!"
