The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

After listening to this, He Jinyu's eyes sparkled and his excitement was beyond words. He stretched out his arm to pat Lan Wangshu's shoulder, but when he found out it was a girl, he retracted his arm in embarrassment.

"You are young but talented and knowledgeable. I am honored to meet you today. Where are you from?"

He Jinyu suddenly stopped talking, feeling that he was too impatient and a little offensive to the girl, and his face turned red from his neck to the tips of his ears.

Lan Wangshu was confused when she saw that he was blushing so much that he didn't dare to look at her. How could he make her shy during a good chat? She didn't say anything ambiguous. He was really shameless.

"Mr. He, we are from Cangnan Village. If there is a chance in the future, you can come and visit us. We will take our leave now."

After saying goodbye to He Jinyu who was still reluctant to leave, the two siblings started strolling on the street. The road was mostly filled with shops but no vendors. It seemed that if she wanted to make money before she set up her own business, she would have to go to the market.

She took this opportunity to learn about the current prices. The price of rice ranged from 5 to 35 copper coins. However, Lan Wangshu didn't think the cheapest rice was safe to eat because it had already grown mold.

Linen cost about 200 copper coins per piece, and silk cost one tael of silver per piece.

The supplies in this era were very simple. When she went out, she would think about how much the buns on the street cost and measure the prices. After all, that's how it was written in novels. But no one told her that there was no wheat in this era.

He simply bought some rice, vegetables, meat and eggs, then tore off two pieces of burlap and put them in the backpack to cover the things. Lan Wangshu directly asked Lai Qian'er to put the food in the fresh-keeping space, so it was relatively easy to walk on the road.

The brother and sister sat under a tree at the city gate waiting for Uncle Niu. Lan Luochen looked at her silent appearance, which was completely different from when she was in the pawnshop just now, and couldn't help but start talking to her.

"Sister is amazing. She actually sold it at such a high price."

"It's still not enough. The county school costs one or two taels of silver a year. You can't go home on weekdays in the county town, and they have to leave you one or two taels of silver for expenses. You also have to build a house at home, otherwise how are you going to survive in the winter? Are you going to live in someone else's house? These are far from enough."

After these words were spoken, it was Lan Luochen's turn to be silent, not knowing what to say.

She smiled and pinched his face.

"Why are you so sad? I have a sister. I will wait for you to become successful and support her in her old age."

"it is good."

She meant it as a joke, but Lan Luochen agreed very solemnly, his eyes warm and determined.

After chatting for a while, everyone finally got on the bus when everyone had gathered. There were quite a few unfamiliar faces. After Lan Luochen's introduction, they greeted the aunts and sisters-in-law from the same village, sat down obediently, and put the backpacks on the empty seat in the middle.

Uncle Niu’s ox cart carries not only people from Cangnan Village, but also people from Hongsu Village who pass by.

The car was packed with people, and there were always some people who didn't treat themselves as outsiders and casually looked through the backpack in the middle.

A skinny woman got on the bus and flipped over the backpack in front of Lan Wangshu, which scared her. Is she so lacking in sense of boundaries? She really doesn't consider herself an outsider.

"Let me see what you bought. If you ask me, your family can't live without an adult. Why did you buy so much linen? Don't you have clothes to wear?"

She moved as she spoke, then sat back down.

Lan Luochen was immediately anxious, fearing that the other party would see them buy something and snatch it away. What she was most worried about was that she saw her sister put the gold in, such a large piece, the woman would definitely take it away.

Lan Wangshu grabbed his wrist and shook his head calmly.

She was very clear about this kind of situation and had already prepared herself mentally. Which female protagonist in a farming novel hadn't experienced this? It was all a routine. She put travel expenses in it, and if anyone dared to take advantage of it, she would have to annoy the other party.

"Auntie, do we know each other? Why are you rummaging through my backpack for no reason?"

After saying that, Lan Wangshu began to check his backpack. The moment he lowered his head, his eyes were filled with suppressed anger. He was really used to stealing things and was so careless that he even took the nine copper coins.

"What do you mean, little girl? I am your second aunt's sister-in-law. See what's going on."

Lan Wangshu was really angry at this moment and clutched the edge of the basket tightly. Living in the modern world, no one would ever directly look through her things, even the police would require documents. This was really as annoying as the auntie who checked the dormitories when she was in college. She was obviously the one being unreasonable but still thought she was doing well.

Lan Wangshu began to think about modern events again, and felt that it was really unfair for him to come here. He didn't know why his mind was so distracted that he had to prepare himself mentally even to go to the toilet.

Everyone only saw that her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had been wronged.

There was a woman holding a box in her hands. Before getting on the car, Lan Luochen took her to identify her. She was the wife of Mr. Zhang, a scholar in the village. She was an excellent embroidery worker and her hands were very delicately maintained.

"Shu girl, why are your eyes red? What injustice have you suffered?"

While holding her hand to comfort her, she stared at the skinny woman meaningfully; the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

"The nine copper coins I put in the backpack are gone. Losing money is a small thing, but this is for Uncle Niu's bus fare."

"Oh, it's not a big deal, don't cry, I'll spare you the trouble."

Uncle Niu was sitting in the front driving the ox cart. He overheard what was happening behind and quickly spoke up to comfort the two children.

When the people in the car heard this, they subconsciously searched their pockets and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was correct.

Only the skinny woman stood there motionless, her heart skipping a beat. She had indeed taken the copper coin, and it was easy for her to take her sister-in-law's things. Now she could only pretend that she knew nothing about it.

"Why don't you check it out? Could it be stolen?"

Zhang's sister-in-law had been keeping an eye on her, fearing that she would bully the children, and then she discovered something fishy.

"Yes, take a look, nine copper coins can buy three eggs."

The skinny woman said she didn't have a purse and her hand unconsciously touched her waist. She thought no one should find the copper coins she had just put there. It didn't matter if someone found out. It was only 9 copper coins. She could just return it.

"Mr. Fang, I never thought that there would be someone like you in our village. You took the child's few copper coins. Are you unable to survive?"

As a result of her action, everyone in the car looked at the woman who took the copper coin, and even people from her fellow villagers looked down on her.

Lan Wangshu lowered her head, with a slight smile on her lips. Today, if anyone touched the backpack, whether they took it or not, she would do the same. The gossiping speed of the people on this bus was comparable to that of the big tree at the entrance of the village. She was about to reach the age of marriage, and those who rummaged through her backpack and tried to take advantage of her should forget about it.

"What's that around your waist?"

Mrs. Zhang's eyes were fixed on her. She noticed the woman from Mr. Fang's family made a small movement and spoke in a sharp tone.

"Someone else found this for me. I can't just leave it here."
