The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

"Grandpa Lan, I need to take a car. I need to go to the county to get medicine for grandma."

Lan Ning tried to raise his head, and his yellow face looked so pitiful.

"Girl Lan, you have to pay a copper to ride in grandpa's car."

Old Man Lan makes money by pulling ox carts. If he pulls Lan Ning for free, he will earn one less penny.

Hearing this, Lan Ning hurriedly raised the silver coins he had prepared long ago to show Old Man Lan.

"Grandpa Lan, I have money. I will pay for the fare."

When Old Man Lan saw the silver coin in Lan Ning's hand, he quickly cried out.

"Girl, put it away quickly, put it away quickly, where did you get so much money, come up quickly."

He saw it clearly just now. The silver coin in Lan's hand was worth almost one or two taels of silver.

Where did such a little girl get so much silver? She will have nowhere to cry if she gets robbed.

I was just about to ask Grandma Lan how she could let her take so much money to the county to get medicine by herself, but I suddenly remembered that Grandma Lan was beaten by several people from the Zhang family yesterday.

At that time, the news that they were arrested by the officials spread throughout the village.

Alas, these grandma and grandson are so pitiful.

Lan Ning successfully got into the car.

Old Man Lan put the matter behind him and gently patted his old friend's butt with the whip in his hand. The old cow mooed and walked slowly away.

The lame old man's tune echoed among the mountains.

"Sister, you go ahead, I'll chase you.

The younger sister ran away shyly, and the older brother chased after her with laughter..."

The oxcart was moving slowly, and Old Man Lan was singing loudly. Soon the carriage was full of people.

Many people in their village were not shy about discussing the child who suddenly appeared on the ox cart where they usually rode. Some of them even teased Lan Ning.

Lan Ning looked at them. She was a child now, so whatever she did or said could be explained by her young age and ignorance.

So after they finished talking, she just kept her sweet smile and looked at the aunties in front of her.

"Aunt Zhu, what is that black spot on your face? There are so many of them. Why don't many other aunts in the village have that spot on their faces?"

Zhu Cuiying, whose face was covered with pockmarks and which had always been a pain to her...

"Humph, I won't bother with you."

Zhu Cuiying turned her head away and didn't look at Lan Ning again, but she didn't speak to anyone else either. She was very angry at the moment.

"Hey, Aunt Tong, your teeth are different from mine. And there are so many upper teeth sticking out."

Tong Juhua, nicknamed the bucktooth boy...

He quickly closed his mouth, not letting his teeth show at all.

Then Lan Ning looked at An Moli with a smile.

An Moli quickly turned her head to the side, as if the one who was clapping and laughing just now was not her.

Lan Ning looked at Ye Taohua with a smile again.

Ye Taohua also quickly turned her head away and stared at the carriage. Fortunately, the carriage was made of thick wood, otherwise she would have stared a hole in it.

Seeing that everyone turned their heads away and stopped looking at him, Lan Ning also turned his head back and stared at the scenery outside the car slowly moving backwards.

She was very tired at the moment and really didn't want to deal too much with these big mouths.

Having been pulling the carriage for so long, he had never encountered a carriage so quiet. Old Man Lan was a little uncomfortable with it and could only use a louder tune to cover up the awkward atmosphere.

After more than half an hour, the carriage arrived outside the city gate.

Each person had to pay a penny to enter the city gate, so Old Man Lan parked the carriage under a banyan tree outside the city gate.

Those who needed a ride on a bullock cart back to the village would come here to find him.

"Grandpa Lan, can I give you the money for the ox cart ride when I get back? This is all the money I have, no copper coins."

Old Man Lan looked at Lan Ning and was about to take out the silver coin.

He quickly stopped her action.

"Okay, okay, go get some medicine for your grandma. My ox cart will leave in an hour."

When Old Man Lan saw that after he finished speaking, Girl Lan did not leave and was still standing beside the old cow.

"Go quickly, Grandpa, I'm a man of my words. I'll collect your money later if I say so."

Lan Ning awkwardly stirred with his two index fingers.

"Grandpa Lan, can you lend me a penny? I don't have a copper to enter the city gate."

Old Man Lan...

It would have been fine if I could just pay him back for the ride in his car, but I actually asked him to borrow money.

Oh, forget it. If she wasn’t a little girl, he would definitely ignore her.

He fished out five cents from his pocket, which were given to him by the group of people just now. He picked out the oldest-looking one and gave it to Lan Ning.

"Here, let's go."

Lan Ning quickly took it.

"Thank you, Grandpa Lan."

He turned around and ran towards the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city gate only recognized money and did not recognize people. Even when they saw a little girl like Lan Ning coming into the city, they did not think anything unusual and let her in after receiving the money.

Lanning had never been here.

I went into the city and looked around. I was used to the prosperity of the city in my previous life, but now this small county town seemed very shabby.

There are many beggars squatting on the roadside with bowls in their hands begging for food on both sides of the street, and there are also many farmers carrying shoulder poles and selling some snacks here.

There were many women bargaining in front of the stall, as well as some nitpicking hooligans.

The whole environment is extremely dirty and unsanitary, with garbage, rotten vegetable leaves, and filth from many people's defecation and urination. Many flies are constantly flying around in it, which is the smell and thing they like.

Maybe these people think that such an environment is very good, but she is not used to it.

Lan Ning withdrew his gaze. There was nothing to see.

Everyone is having a hard time nowadays, so why would anyone care about these things?

Instead of asking anyone, he looked for a pharmacy on his own.

She planned to find a smaller drugstore because many large drugstores had a common problem, which was that they were biased against the poor and their prices were high.

She couldn't reveal too much silver, so she had to find a small pharmacy, get some medicine, and leave quickly.

There are quite a lot of pharmacies in this county town. I came across two big ones and then saw a small one.

That's it.

Lan Ning walked in. There was an old man fiddling with something on the counter, and a little boy was busy running around next to him. The two were so serious that they didn't even notice someone coming in.

"Hello, I want to take some medicine."

A childish voice rang out in this shabby pharmacy.

Before the old man and the child raised their heads, voices of surprise were heard.

"There are medicines. What medicines do you want?"

I looked up and saw, no one was there.

"Where are the people? Why is there no one here?"

[It’s broad daylight, it won’t happen…]

"I am here."

Lan Ning patted the counter, but it was too high and blocked her completely.

Then two heads popped out from over the counter.

【Little girl.】

【Wow, what a cute little sister. 】

When Lan Ning saw that someone saw him, he immediately used his ultimate move and smiled sweetly.

"Grandpa, brother, I want to get some medicine."

Lan Ning took out the prescription Dr. Luo gave her.

The old man took the prescription and looked at it.

"They are just some common medicines. Wait a minute, girl."

After the old man finished speaking, he handed the prescription to the boy and continued to work on his work.

Lan Ning was not in a hurry and just waited there obediently.

Perhaps the boy was not yet experienced, and he always accidentally dropped some of the medicine on the ground when picking it up. At this time, the old man would hear his distressed cry.
