It wasn't that Grandpa Yu didn't come back when he went to call a doctor for the second son of the Yu family. He simply rushed out of the yard when the two sons of the third son of the Yu family shouted that there was a ghost and never came back.
Mr. Yu seems to be a cowardly person, but that is only towards the old lady. When it comes to treating the client, he is as excessive as everyone else, but on the surface, he seems to be an honest and kind person.
Meng Changjin took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed. The soft quilt had a smell of being dried in the sun. Comparing it with the client's memory of living in a dark and damp woodshed, Meng Changjin became a little angry. She glanced at Yu Jiaojiao's dressing table through the light of the crescent moon and happily decided to sell all of Yu Jiaojiao's hairpins tomorrow.
Afterwards, Meng Changjin closed his eyes and fell into a good sleep.
When Meng Changjin was sleeping soundly, Yu Laosan came back.
However, there was no sign of Grandpa Yu by Yu Laosan's side.
"Where's your father?"
"Where's Grandpa?"
Old Mrs. Yu and Yu Jiaojiao asked at the same time.
Since Old Master Yu hadn't found him, they had to resist the sleepiness no matter how sleepy they were. Seeing that Third Yu hadn't found him, they hurriedly asked.
"I looked all the way from our house to Doctor Song's house, but I couldn't find him." Yu Lao San said.
In fact, after he went out, he took a detour and stayed in a place where he could block the light of the oil lamp for a while. After calculating the time and thinking it was about time, he came back directly.
It was cold and dark in the middle of the night, and it was impossible for Yu Laosan to travel a long way to look for someone.
In his opinion, his father is not a three-year-old child anymore. His five-year-old son understands that he has to go home by himself, so there is no reason why his father shouldn't understand it.
Old Mrs. Yu was so tired that her back and waist ached when Meng Changjin called her to cook, and now she couldn't find anyone, so she had to give up.
Let everyone go back to their rooms to rest. As for his wife, her idea was the same as Yu Laosan's. She was not a three-year-old child and did not know that she had returned.
…
The next day, just after dawn, Meng Changjin was awakened by some abnormal noises.
She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the noise outside.
Soon, the sound of footsteps, which were deliberately light but still heavy, were heard.
It sounds like it should be a male. Judging from the distance of the voice, it is slowly approaching from a far distance. I guess it is coming from outside.
A man came back from outside, walking stealthily and lightly. Meng Changjin was almost certain that this man should be the old man Yu who ran out of the yard last night, right?
It seems that Yu Laosan went out last night and didn’t bring anyone back, otherwise he wouldn’t have come back so secretly now.
I deliberately walked lightly, because I was worried that the "ghost" from last night was still in the yard?
Meng Changjin had no idea and didn't want to guess what Grandpa Yu was thinking. She was already awake and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up. When she opened the door, she just happened to see Grandpa Yu push open the door of his and Grandma Yu's room and walk in sideways.
Meng Changjin withdrew his gaze and walked towards the chicken coop.
The Yu family raised a lot of chickens, and the chicken coop in the yard took up a large area. Meng Changjin opened the wooden fence of the chicken coop and walked in. She picked up the eggs one by one and put them in her clothes. After making sure that no egg was left, she came out of the chicken coop and went straight to the kitchen.
Add water to the pot and put a dozen eggs in. Meng Changjin lit the fire and boiled the eggs with skillful movements.
Today she is going to Qingyuan County, the nearest county to Lihua Village, to sell all of Yu Jiaojiao's hairpins, bracelets and other things and buy some things she needs.
For example, clothes.
The client's clothes were made by randomly modifying someone's discarded old clothes. They were covered with pudding and were old and torn.
As for why she didn't just wear Yu Jiaojiao's good clothes, not to mention that Yu Jiaojiao, who was one year younger than the client, looked a head taller than her and the size of the clothes was not suitable at all, she also didn't like the box of pink, light pink and peach pink clothes that Yu Jiaojiao had.
Even though he didn't like it, it was definitely valuable. In a place like the countryside, clothes made of this pink and tender fabric were quite expensive, so Meng Changjin planned to pack up Yu Jiaojiao's clothes and take them away to clear out his inventory.
Meng Changjin couldn't help but look forward to it when he thought about the expression Yu Jiaojiao would have when she found out that all her clothes and hairpins were gone.
She is so looking forward to it!
The fire was burning, and he threw a few thicker pieces of firewood in. There was no need to worry that it would go out in a short time. Meng Changjin went back and started to pack up things.
Meng Changjin quickly packed up the clothes, hairpins, silver bracelets and other things. He packed the hairpins and bracelets and other small but exquisite items separately, and the clothes were packed separately, and a big bundle was completed.
The eggs were just cooked, so Meng Changjin scooped them up, soaked them in cold water, and then wrapped them in a piece of cloth. He then took the water bag and set off.
When Meng Changjin was hungry on the way, he ate eggs, and when he was thirsty, he drank some water from the water bag. Near noon, they finally arrived in Qingyuan County.
There were many people on the main street. Meng Changjin, who was wearing tattered clothes and carrying a large bag, attracted a lot of attention.
These looks were just curious ones, at most some looked at her with contempt, but she didn't care at all. After some observation and asking some small vendors nearby, she was sure that there were places nearby where she could set up stalls. She immediately found an empty spot, opened the big bag, and started selling on the street.
Passersby were attracted by her voice, and when they looked over, they found a pile of pink dresses, which soon attracted a group of female customers who had no resistance to pink.
Meng Changjin priced this pile of dresses at a low price, but the problem was that these dresses were ready-made and could only be worn by people with a figure similar to Yu Jiaojiao.
But they still sold very well. It didn't take Meng Changjin long to set up the stall before Yu Jiaojiao's dresses were sold out.
The fabrics of these dresses are not bad in the first place, and this bright color is also very popular. In addition, Meng Changjin sells them at a really low price. So for the same price, you can only buy a single piece of cloth that is not as good as the fabrics of these clothes in a cloth shop. It is really better to buy a ready-made garment from Meng Changjin.
As for the issue that ready-made garments can only be altered to be smaller, this is basically not a problem.
Yu Jiaojiao is well fed and well clothed, well developed, and not particularly petite. Most people living near Qingyuan County cannot afford big fish and meat, and there are very few fat people, so Yu Jiaojiao's clothes are really easy to sell.
When the last piece of clothing was sold, it was less than half an hour since Meng Changjin started setting up his stall.
She stuffed all the money into her arms without counting how much there was. She quickly put away the sheet that served as her bag, and sneaked into the crowd, turning around and around, and soon disappeared.
