"Whoa whoa whoa!!!"
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!!!"
"Ooooooooooooooo!!!"
The crowing of roosters grew louder and louder, echoing throughout the Liang family's home.
Wan Shu, disheveled and unkempt, sat up in bed and saw that the sky outside the window was just beginning to lighten, and it was still dark.
She gritted her teeth: "Those ten or so roosters are absolutely awful! I'm going to slaughter them and eat them tomorrow!"
Wan Shu initially started raising chickens simply to collect eggs to nourish her five chicks.
Later, Wan Shu started raising chickens because the land lacked fertilizer, and he wanted to leave more manure, so he raised ten roosters.
After all, rooster meat is more plump and delicious.
Little did she know that her craving for food would get her into big trouble.
These ten roosters crow in the livestock shed before dawn every day, giving Wan Shu a terrible headache.
Er Ya and Si Ya were also awakened by the rooster's crow.
Er Ya suggested, "Mother, if you still want to sleep, I'll drive the rooster to the animal shed over at the new house."
If it weren't for Meng Wenyuan, it wouldn't be impossible to drive the chickens over there, but the problem is that Meng Wenyuan is already living in the animal shed over there!
Although there is more than one livestock shed, once we get there, we won't leave Meng Wenyuan with the chickens.
But Meng Wenyuan was, after all, a sick person. Chickens are covered in bacteria and poop everywhere, so being a sick person is ultimately useless.
Wan Shu waved her hand: "Forget it, I was planning to go to the county town today anyway, so I won't trouble you. But if you have time after you finish your work at home today, you can kill a chicken first, and I'll stew it for you when I get home tonight!"
She's definitely going to get her revenge today!
Siya immediately drooled and said, "Kill the one with the reddest fur. It's the fattest and the loudest."
Wan Shu nodded and got up to go find Da Zhu.
Dazhu was much more diligent than Wanshuke; he had already finished washing up before the rooster crowed.
After Wan Shu and he had washed up briefly, the two of them boarded Uncle Erniu's oxcart and headed towards Sishui County.
When they arrived in Sishui County, it was just getting dark, and many small vendors had already gathered by the roadside, their shouts filling the air.
"Steamed meat buns, delicious meat buns!"
"Would you like one of these soft, juicy steamed buns, sir?"
Wan Shu walked to the steamed bun shop, bought three large steamed buns, and first forced one into Uncle Erniu's hands, and then forced one into Dazhu's hands.
"Mother wants to stroll around town today. You go deliver the goods yourself. We'll meet at the county town entrance in an hour."
Dazhu had no suspicions and immediately agreed, and the mother and son parted ways.
After they parted ways, Wan Shu didn't go shopping. Instead, she wandered into a deserted alley, opened the online store, and bought all the crystal ornaments she had seen the night before for two hundred coins.
Then I spent several hundred coins to buy a fake headgear, a mask, a voice changer, and a set of men's clothing.
She changed the voice changer to a male voice, then changed into men's clothing, and put on a hood and mask.
He transformed into a burly, slightly short man.
"Cough cough cough..."
She tested the voice changer and, after confirming that it worked correctly, walked out of the alley.
The mask on her face attracted the attention of many passersby.
However, the past few days have been the Chaosheng Festival, and in order to celebrate the festival, many young masters from wealthy families have been wearing masks and going out to play.
Seeing that the men's clothing Wan Shu was wearing was made of expensive fabric, the crowd didn't think much of it, only glanced at it a few times before looking away.
Wan Shu wasn't afraid at all. He simply let them look him over and strode towards the pawnshop in the county town.
Upon seeing Wan Shu's clothes, the shop assistant in the pawnshop immediately came to greet him attentively.
"Young master, just let me know what you need!"
The waiter instinctively assumed that Wan Shu was a young master who came to shop and play.
Wan Shu shook her head at him: "I'm not here to buy anything today. I have something to pawn. Call your shopkeeper out."
Waiter: "Young master, I can make the decision about pawning the items myself, why bother our manager?"
Wan Shu said in a tense voice, "This is a priceless treasure; only your manager can make the decision!"
Upon hearing this, the waiter had no choice but to go upstairs and fetch the manager.
The shopkeeper was initially quite unhappy, thinking that this small, run-down county of Sishui could not possibly have any priceless treasures; it was clearly just bragging!
But when he led Wan Shu into the inner room and opened the box that Wan Shu handed him, his eyes immediately lit up.
Inside the box were five crystal-clear pendants.
In all his years, the shopkeeper had never seen such exquisite objects, except for a precious vase made last month by a scholar who claimed to be surnamed Liang.
No, it should be said that the pendant this young master brought is even more exquisite than the vase from last time.
It goes without saying that it is crystal clear, but what is most rare is that the various designs and patterns on this pendant are unheard of and unseen on the market.
The shopkeeper's attitude towards Wan Shu immediately became much warmer, and he inquired, "Young master, your jewelry is truly exquisite. May I ask where you obtained it?"
Wan Shuding wasn't falling for the trap. He lowered his voice and said, "It doesn't matter how I got it. Just name your price. Hurry up, or my family will find out and I'll be out of money again."
After saying that, he muttered rather irritably, "Seriously, it's just a few hundred taels spent in one day, is it worth nagging about for so long? And he even said he wouldn't give me pocket money again, it's so annoying!"
Spending hundreds of taels a day?! What kind of wealthy family's son could do something like that!
Indeed, only a young master from a wealthy family would not be able to produce such fine items all at once.
The sons of wealthy families are not to be trifled with.
The shopkeeper immediately abandoned his desire to inquire and said with a smile, "Young master, please don't be in a hurry. Since you've come to our Eight Treasures Pavilion, we certainly won't let you leave empty-handed. How about I give you this amount?"
The shopkeeper raised his hand and made an eight.
Even the cheapest vase Liang Yaozu has can sell for 100 taels, so there's no reason why her crystal pendants, which are much more exquisite, should only sell for 800 taels.
Without saying much, Wan Shu snatched the box and walked out.
The shopkeeper, hearing Wan Shu's youthful voice, initially thought she was easy to fool, but was surprised to find her so difficult to talk to. He quickly grabbed her and pleaded.
"Young master, please don't be in such a hurry! If the price isn't right, we can discuss it again! Tell me, how much would you like?"
Wan Shu: "Five thousand five hundred taels, not a single word less!"
Seeing Wan Shu's determination, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and finally had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
1,500 taels was too much, so the shopkeeper gave him a silver note.
With the silver notes tucked in his pocket, Wan Shu made sure no one was following him before winding his way back into the alley.
She wrapped up the items for her disguise and stuffed them into her basket, then opened the system shop again and called upon the system.
"I already have a thousand taels, quickly unlock the search mode for me!"
