A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

It was Zhang Can who called a halt. Wen Meijiu and Dou Dashu looked at Zhang Can at the same time, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"Da Shu, we grew up together and know each other very well. Of course I will believe everything you say.

But your brothers may not think the same as we do.

As the saying goes, if we have different goals and different paths, we cannot work together.

Since we have sworn brotherhood here, you must keep your promise to me to turn from evil to good, and you don’t need to bring any risks to me in the future.”

Zhang Can still felt something was not right. People who do big things must take every detail into consideration.

Dou Dashu said:

"Don't worry, big brother. Although I'm not a loyal man, my spit on the ground is as solid as a nail. What I say counts."

Zhang Can was waiting for this sentence, so he took over his conversation and said:

"Since you have admitted it, let's put it in writing. I'm here to serve as a witness for us.

No matter what others say or do in the future, our oath will not change."

"Okay, everything depends on big brother."

Dou Dashu's words were decisive and powerful.

Zhang Shen was satisfied and said immediately:

"Someone, bring something."

Soon a soldier ran out and placed a document that had already been written in front of Dou Dashu.

Dou Dashu was illiterate, so Zhang Can asked the soldier to read to Dou Dashu the three rules between them.

Zhang Can wrote this thing last night. When his subordinates on both sides were arguing fiercely, he had been thinking about this matter and had someone polish it and write it down.

Zhang Can put a lot of thought into getting it in front of Dou Dashu today.

So there is no need to waste time and effort. If Dou Dashu agrees, he can just press his red fingerprint on it.

Dou Dashu trusted Zhang Can, and even though it had come to this, he still did not hesitate. He reached out his hand, dipped it in the red ink, and pressed his fingerprint on the three articles of law.

After the matter was settled, Zhang Can had the things taken away and the ceremony continued.

After the oath of brotherhood was completed, Wen Meijiu also wanted to go home early. After all, she had been away for so long and her family must be worried.

Zhang Can knew that Wen Meijiu was about to leave, so he pulled her aside and discussed the food issue with her.

Although Wen Meijiu did not contribute many people to this plan, she came up with ideas and went deep into the enemy's territory to obtain badges and rescue people, which made Zhang Can admire her very much.

Before the action, Zhang Can and Wen Meijiu agreed that Wen Meijiu would take five carts of grain, and the rest would belong to Zhang Can.

Afterwards, Zhang Can thought about it and overturned his previous decision.

"Sister, let's split the food in half."

Zhang Can's voice was so low that Wen Meijiu thought he had misheard.

She and Zhang Can had clearly agreed before that she would be five and Zhang Can would be ten. After all, Zhang Can and Dou Dashu's men totaled fifty people, and she didn't have many people including her family.

At the beginning, she only told Zhang Can that there was a lot of grain stored in the county magistrate's yard, but she did not say that there was grain in all the yards.

When the victims went in to grab food, she was the only one who went in. Except for what the victims took away, most of the food ended up in her hands.

If she had not discussed it with Zhang Can in advance and not aroused his suspicion, it would not be so important to her whether she had the food or not.

"No, big brother, let's just divide it according to the original plan."

Zhang Can didn't know that the reason Wen Meijiu still wanted these five carts of grain was not because he was after the grain, but the carts loaded with grain.

"Sister, don't refuse, just listen to me and let me explain.

We are sworn brothers and sisters now, it doesn't matter whether it's given to you or to me. I plan to go to King Jin with these forty or so people. It's thousands of miles from here to there, and it's not convenient to carry so much food.

Rather than letting others get a bargain, it’s better to give it to the girl.”

Not to mention Minhuang County which is suffering from the disaster, even in wealthy places, so much high-quality grain is a rare commodity. In today's world, how can the people afford rice and flour?

Zhang Can's words really touched her. They were just casual acquaintances. Even if they became sworn siblings, Wen Meijiu had no idea that the other person treated her so well.

Wen Meijiu, who was an orphan in his previous life, suddenly felt the warmth from his biological brother.

"Brother, no, you must take this food away.

A poor family is rich on the road. If you encounter an accident on the road, you will not be able to go without food with so many people following you.

Even if we take a step back and say that we really can't finish eating it, we can sell it, and any amount we have can be exchanged for some travel expenses to support ourselves.

If you don't want to bother selling it, why not take the food with you to see the King of Jin? It can be considered a gift to the King. This thing is presentable."

The ten-horse carriages could carry a total of more than 8000 kilograms of grain. Even if the march lasted more than a month, the amount of food consumed would be limited.

Wen Meijiu had no idea who the King of Jin was, nor did she know what kind of person he was. She couldn't help but worry about Zhang Shen.

Bringing some food with you will at least show your sincerity.

As the saying goes, thunder god never strikes a smiling person. Since my eldest brother has brought gifts, King Jin should not treat him unfairly.

Zhang Can still insisted:

“Thank you for your concern, brother. I made this arrangement for my own selfish reasons.

Carrying so much food on the road would be too conspicuous and I'm afraid we'll be targeted by bad guys."

Although he said this, Zhang Can had other thoughts in his mind.

He usually had some savings, and this time he defected to Prince Jin because he heard that Prince Jin was strict in military discipline, caring for his subordinates, and was a good prince.

With such a good prince, he would not treat him and his brothers unfairly. There was no need for them to carry so much food across thousands of miles. One month's supply would be enough.

Leaving the food for Wen Meijiu could be considered as a small gift from him, as the eldest brother, to his younger sister. Anyway, he didn't have anything expensive.

"Then you can sell it now, big brother. I believe it will be easy to sell. It will be more convenient to take the money with you on the road."

Food is a scarce commodity right now, in short supply everywhere, and sold at high prices.

Wen Meijiu's refusal left Zhang Can with no other suitable reasons.

Seeing Zhang Shen frowning, Wen Meijiu comforted him:

"Brother, I know you are very good to me. I will remember it in my heart."

Zhang Shen saw that there was no room for improvement, and he felt a little disappointed. He sighed and said:

"Well, in the future, if I have the chance to meet you again, I will definitely give you a valuable gift to make up for today's regret."

He finally spoke his true feelings, and Wen Meijiu smiled warmly.

"Okay, sister is waiting to meet big brother again next time."

As he spoke, Wen Meijiu took out a small brown bottle from the space and handed it to him while Zhang Can was not paying attention.

"what is this?"

Zhang Can looked at the thing that Wen Meijiu handed to him and asked in surprise.
