Now that they had money in hand, they wanted to buy some more things. Li Quanfu went to do some errands, and Li Xiaoxiao went to the market to stroll around. They bought two oil lamps at the grocery store. They wanted to buy these last time, but forgot because there were too many things.
People in ancient times did not have any entertainment at night and went to bed early. There was no light in the house, so it was inconvenient to go to the toilet at night. Oil lamps at that time were mostly made of vegetable oil, which had a strong smell and a lot of smoke, but people were reluctant to use them. Oil lamps were not cheap, costing thirty cents each.
Thinking of the big meat buns I bought that time, I went and bought fifteen more. I don’t have to cook at noon, this will be enough for me.
The tables and chairs should also be replaced with new ones, but my current living conditions are limited. If I buy large items and build the house, I will have to move them back and forth. So I think it’s better to forget it and buy them later.
She bought a jar of the best daughter's red wine at the winery. She kept a chicken at home, so she didn't buy any meat. When she saw someone selling eggs, she remembered that she had never eaten eggs since she traveled here. Eggs were one penny each, not cheap, but she couldn't resist eating them, so she put thirty more eggs in her backpack.
When I arrived at the vegetable market, there were a lot of vegetables in the fields at that time of year. I bought five pounds of potatoes, five pounds of tomatoes, a handful of beans, a handful of rapeseed, and three pounds of cucumbers, until my backpack was full.
Li Quanfu is a smart man. I didn't dare to put any space in front of him. I waited until Li Quanfu came at the agreed time, and then they returned to the village together.
The ox cart stopped at the door of Li Xiaoxiao's house, and the things were unloaded one by one, leaving a jar of wine at the end. "Uncle Quanfu, this wine is for Grandpa Li, please help me take it over."
"That won't do. Take it away." Li Quanfu immediately frowned and pretended to be angry when he heard it.
"Uncle Quanfu, you have to take it with you. You know, my father doesn't drink, and the wine is just kept there. Besides, this wine is my filial piety to Grandpa Li, you can't refuse me." Li Xiaoxiao didn't want to use others for free. No matter how good the relationship was, she couldn't ask for things blindly. She would definitely not accept money, so she had to buy things to please him.
"Brother Quanfu, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse it." Hearing the noise, Li Dahai came out of the house.
"Just this once. Don't waste money next time." Li Quanfu had no choice but to accept it and drove the ox cart back.
They came back early and Sun hadn't made lunch yet. Li Xiaoxiao took out the meat buns, which were still hot, and gave one to each person first, and asked them to take more after they finished eating.
"Second sister, do you still have that delicious water we drank last time?" Li Huawen asked while eating. The big meat buns were really delicious.
Li Xiaoxiao was stunned by the question, and then she quickly remembered that the happy water she took out in a hurry last time was actually remembered by this boy. Yes, Li Dahai was right in front of her, and she didn't dare to take it out.
I made up a lie and said, "I didn't see her today. Maybe she went to sell it somewhere else. The clothes my sister made are just the right size. They look really good on me."
Li Huawen is the youngest child in the family, so I made his clothes first. He finished them this morning and couldn’t wait to put them on.
After dinner, Li Xiaoxiao said that the two wolves sold sixty-four taels of silver today, plus the more than ten taels from before, the total was eighty taels of silver, which was enough for building a house and tuition, and there was some left over.
"So much." Sun exclaimed, two wolves could actually be sold for so much silver.
"Yes, thanks to Uncle Quanfu, so I bought a pot of wine as a thank you gift." Li Xiaoxiao replied.
"Xiaoxiao did the right thing. Our family is grateful for his help. If our lives become better in the future, we will never forget this kindness." Li Dahai sighed, and at the same time, he felt even more sorry for Li Xiaoxiao. Although the wolf was injured and was picked up by her yesterday, he knew that the process must have been extremely dangerous. Even if they were injured, they were still wolves, and there were two of them.
Li Xiaoxiao went up the mountain and hunted two wolves. He took them to the county town and sold them for silver. No one knew who spread the news, but the village was not big and the news spread quickly. Soon it reached the ears of Li's family.
"What a bitch! How could the wolf be so stupid? Why didn't it just eat her in one bite? There would be one less scourge in the world. It really proves the saying that good people don't live long, while scourges will live for ten thousand years." Old Mrs. Li swore at Li Xiaoxiao with her triangular eyes drooping. She cheated her out of one or two taels of silver, and she remembered it very clearly.
"Mom, I don't know what kind of magic that girl used. I still feel uncomfortable now." Li Laosi lay on the kang, looking listless.
Old Mrs. Li glanced at him and her hatred for Li Xiaoxiao increased.
"Ever since she fell from the mountain, the little girl has been acting strange, like a different person. Mom, do you think she was possessed by a mountain ghost?" Li Laosi thought about it and the more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. "She is a teenage girl, so weak that it is impossible for her to kill two wolves. Besides, how did she get down the mountain when they weighed hundreds of pounds? A wolf is heavier than her, not to mention two."
Old Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes and thought for a while. She felt that she was possessed by a mountain ghost. Wasn’t it because of her that the fourth brother fell and convulsed for no reason that day?
Li Xiaoxiao grew up under her care. Although she had a bad temper, she was not so cunning as to make a scene for the fourth child.
"We can't keep this bitch. Fourth brother, you go to the county town tomorrow and ask the famous witch in the county to get rid of this mountain ghost to prevent her from harming our Li family." Old Mrs. Li looked vicious.
"I'll go there early tomorrow morning, but it will cost a lot of money." Li Laosi's eyes rolled and a plan came to mind.
"That mountain ghost just sold a wolf, he must have made a lot of silver. You come with me. The second brother is so unfilial that he doesn't give the silver to me and me. Sooner or later, he will be struck by lightning." Li Quanfu had hunted a wolf before. It was said that it was sold for more than twenty taels of silver. Li Xiaoxiao got forty taels of silver for two wolves. Just thinking about it made him excited. Forty taels of silver was enough for the eldest brother to spend in the county for more than a year.
Li Laosi was really afraid of Li Xiaoxiao and really didn't want to go. "Mom, I'm not fully recovered yet. How about letting Third Sister-in-law go with you?"
"Bah, she's useless. Is she going to hold me back? Go call your wife and come with me." She got angry when she mentioned the third son's wife. Look at how cowardly she is. She has been fed with good food and drink for so many years, but she couldn't even give birth to a son. She deliberately wanted to make the third son childless.
Li Laosi had no choice but to go to Jiang and talk to her briefly. Jiang grabbed his ear and twisted it hard: "If you are afraid and don't want to go, then let me go."
"My dear wife, I originally wanted to let my third sister-in-law go, but mother said that you can handle the situation better." Li Laosi begged for mercy again and again, flattering Jiang at the same time.
Jiang was very pleased. Li Xiaoxiao was capable, but she was just following her mother-in-law, so it would be fine if she didn't get involved. Besides, if they could get some money, she would also make a contribution by following them, and if her mother-in-law was happy, maybe she could get some of it.
Then he let go of her hand and said, "You stay home and take good care of the child. I will go with mother."
