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

"Just go do your thing, we'll talk on the way back."

"Okay, grandma, tell me about Aunt Song when you get back."

The woman waved.

"Speak softly so no one can hear you. I'll continue talking to you when we get back."

Lan Ning quickly covered his mouth, nodded, turned around and ran away.

If you want to know what’s going on in the village, you have to get inside the enemy first, but these gossips are really exciting.

Lan Ning paid a penny and entered the city. Instead of selling the game, he went to the small pharmacy as he knew the place well.

When I entered the pharmacy, I saw exactly the same scene as last time.

The old man was fiddling with something on the counter, and the boy was running around helping to get medicine.

"Grandpa, brother, I'm here to get medicine again."

Hearing this soft and cute voice, the two of them looked up at the same time. This time they had experience, so they both leaned over the counter and looked down. Sure enough, they saw the only customer they had seen for such a long time.

"Dear sister, you are finally here."

"Um?"

What do you mean I'm finally here? It's like they're looking forward to me coming to pick up the medicine, and they hope that someone in my family will get sick?

Humph, it seems that both of them are not good people.

Lan Ning pouted, looking a little unhappy, but in the next second he used his special move and smiled cutely.

Sure enough, the next second, the sound of an old man and a young boy being hit on the chest was heard.

[My sister is so cute. ]

[This girl's smile is really adorable. ]

"Grandpa, brother, I'm here to pick up the medicine."

"Hey, hey, hey, girl, what medicine do you need? Ask this brother to pick it up for you."

Lan Ning skillfully took out the prescription again.

Then, in this small pharmacy, there were once again the sounds of medicine boxes falling to the ground and the old man's shouting and cursing, and it was as lively as the market outside.

"Here, sister, the medicine is ready. Four hundred and fifty-one coins. It's a little more expensive than last time. There are more kinds of medicine this time."

[With such a low price, my sister won't realize that she is the only customer for such a long time. ]

Lan Ning looked up at the boy in surprise.

I didn't know it before, but now I know. It turns out that this pharmacy's business is so bad. How did they manage to survive for so long?

Lan Ning quickly put away his curiosity and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, brother. I'll give you the silver."

Then he put his left hand into the sleeve of his right hand and took out the ten-liang silver ingot from the space in a concealed manner.

The boy didn't look surprised when he saw so much money. Even the old man who was busy nearby glanced at it and then calmly looked away. He looked no different from before.

Wow, he seems to have seen the world. He didn't react at all when seeing so much silver. I just regretted not going to the money shop to exchange the silver.

After a while, the boy came back with some small change and a lot of copper coins.

"Thank you, brother."

Lan Ning took the silver in two portions and put them into his sleeve pocket (space).

Just as I was about to tiptoe to take the medicine and leave, I saw a white, slender little hand reach out and take the medicine.

"Sister, I'll give it to you."

[I can’t lose my only customer. I need to find out my sister’s name and where she lives. If she doesn’t come for a long time, I will go find her.]

Damn, what the hell, are you trying to take advantage of me?

Humph, I will never tell him my name and home address. A girl should learn to protect herself when she is alone outside.

However, what Lan Ning never expected was that the boy would actually follow her back in the carriage, saying that she was too young and it was not safe to go back alone.

"Brother, I don't have the money to hire a carriage."

"It's okay, sister. I have it."

"But Grandpa Lan is still waiting for me to ride the ox cart."

"What's the point of riding in a stinky oxcart? You've never ridden in a horse-drawn carriage, so you don't know that horse-drawn carriages are comfortable and don't smell bad. When I was a child, my mother..."

As soon as the boy finished saying this, he seemed to have thought of something sad. He stopped talking, lowered his head with a sad look on his face, and walked slowly forward.

What happened? What happened to his mother?

Oh, forget it, let’s stop gossiping and just try to comfort this kid. After all, he’s very nice to me.

"Brother, let's go take a carriage."

Hearing these words, the boy regained his spirits.

"Okay, I'll take you for a ride in a carriage. Don't you know how comfortable it is to sit in a carriage..."

The boy kept chattering all the way, and Lan Ning just listened, responding from time to time. The sad expression on the boy's face had completely disappeared, as if he was not the one who was sad just now.

"Sister, what's your name? Can you tell me? My name is Mu Zhongting."

Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I didn't ask you your name, why did you tell me your name? Now that you've told me, it would be so embarrassing if I didn't tell you.

"Brother, my name is Li Mahua."

Lan Ning still had that sweet smile on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was telling the truth or a lie from looking at his little face.

"Li Mahua, Li Mahua, what a good name, much better than my name."

[My sister is so cute, and her name is so cute too. 】

Hey man, are you serious?

In the end, the two of them took a carriage at the price of fifty cents per person.

Along the way, Mu Zhongting kept talking non-stop, and it was obvious that he was really happy to see Lan Ning.

This horse-drawn carriage is indeed a little better to ride in than an ox-drawn cart, but Lan Ning, who is used to riding various online-hailing cars in later generations, is still relatively calm about the horse-drawn carriage.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, Lan Ning stopped the driver from going any further. He didn't want this man to know his exact home address.

Mu Zhongting wanted to follow, but Lan Ning took a firm attitude and said that it was not convenient to receive guests at home today. She would definitely treat him well next time he came to visit.

Since Sister Li said so, Mu Zhongting was not a brainless person, so he agreed, got on the carriage and left.

Lan Ning was relieved after finally getting rid of the man. This man was really enthusiastic and difficult to deal with.

She is actually not a person who likes to deal with interpersonal relationships. What she likes most is to lie in bed alone, doing what she likes to do, and spend the whole day quietly like that.

But sometimes life is beyond one's control. Life requires her to deal with all kinds of interpersonal relationships. In addition, she was alone in her previous life and no one could help her, so she developed the habit of greeting everyone with a smile at all times.

When I got home, I saw that most of the outside of the wall was covered with thorns, and it seemed that it would be completed soon.

I went forward and took a closer look. I found that the thorns were not very dense. It seemed that there were not enough of them. I would have to go to the mountain to get some more.

The gate was not closed, and standing outside the courtyard I could hear the cheerful voices of a woman and a man talking inside.

Lan Ning took a deep breath, smiled again and walked in.

"I'm back."
