Su He ran to the cloth shop in one breath, thinking of buying some ready-made clothes. Mu Tou and Miao Miao were still young, and children definitely had no resistance to new clothes.

"This pink one, and this light yellow one, are there any that can be worn by a three-year-old? And this blue one, and this cyan one, are there any that can be worn by an eight-year-old? If so, pack them all up for me."

"And the hat and shoes, help me match them, and the underwear too."

Su He entered the cloth shop and rushed directly to the sample room to start choosing. Several shop assistants were run around by her.

"And this hair flower, give me two, how much is it in total?"

Su He picked all the items in one breath. The shopkeeper behind her was already waiting with an abacus in his hand. "My lady, the total is eight taels and seven cents. Since this is your first time here, I will give you a discount. The final price is eight taels and five cents."

Su He had no expression on his face, and he sighed in his heart that prices were so high in ancient times.

"Your price is too high. Just eight taels. Now, give me the money. I need to go buy something else."

The shopkeeper wanted to open his mouth to refute, but when he saw Su He gave him a 50-tael silver ingot, which was not something ordinary people could have, he swallowed back all the words in his mouth.

"Miss, we didn't make any money this time. Our cotton-padded clothes are made of new cotton and are very warm. Please remember to patronize our store more often in the future."

"Don't worry, I have many relatives. Just wait, I will come again this month."

Su He agreed readily, but as to whether he would come again, only God knew.

When the shopkeeper heard what he wanted to hear, he happily gave the remaining 42 taels of silver to Su He.

"Boss, please help me pack the things and send them to the carriage at the end of the street. The driver's name is Zhang Xu. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Su He didn't waste any time after getting the money and went out to buy food.

By the time Su He hurried back to the carriage, a quarter of an hour had passed, earning two glares from Zhang's mother.

"Oh, you finally decided to come back. Did you buy the market?"

Su He was just about to say something polite like "Thank you for your hard work, mom," but when she heard this, she shrank her neck and got into the car quickly.

"Tiedan, hurry up and get on the road. Don't even have lunch. Just have some meat buns."

Su He pretended to be busy, pretending not to see Zhang's mother's resentment.

"Mother Zhang, are you hungry? I bought some small cakes. There were a lot of people queuing up just now. It's called a money shop. It looks like a bank, but it actually sells cakes. They smell delicious and are still steaming hot. Do you want to try some?"

Su He also felt a little guilty. After all, it was because of her that Mother Zhang went through all this trouble and couldn't even eat lunch.

"I don't want to eat wild food from outside. Who knows if these people washed their hands when making the cakes?"

Wild goods...

Su He was asking for trouble, so she tried one to please herself and found it surprisingly delicious, with a strong milky flavor. Children would definitely like it, and it was also good for the elderly to chew on.

Su He thought about it, took a clean towel, and carefully wrapped the three pieces.

"Mother Zhang, I'll bring some food to Brother Zhang outside. It's not much, but it's a token of my appreciation. Oh, and here's the roast chicken, it's delicious, let it fill Brother Zhang's stomach, too."

"Thank you Lotus, hehehehehe."

Zhang Xu thought this girl was quite considerate. He actually got a share as well. He loved roast chicken the most.

When Su He heard Zhang Xu eating roast chicken outside, she knew she had made the right purchase.

This was just like a food show. Su He felt hungry just by listening to the voice. She bought a lot of roast chickens, five in total, and she took one to eat.

I’ll eat the leg first. Hmm, it tastes good. I’ll buy it again next time.

While eating, Su He began to shiver unconsciously. What happened? Was there no wind in the carriage?

When Su He looked up, she saw Mother Zhang swallowing her saliva. When she saw Su He looking at her, she immediately pretended to be busy, but there was nothing to be busy about in the carriage, so she had to turn her head to look out the window.

"Mother Zhang, this roast chicken looks clean and tastes good. Would you like to have one?"

Zhang Yuan had smelled the food a long time ago and secretly swallowed his saliva several times. This time he took the opportunity to go down the stairs, but he still had to pretend to be stubborn before eating.

"Well, since you want me to eat it so badly, Mom will give you some face, but I will only eat the calf. I dare not eat more than that."

Half an hour later, Mother Zhang had finished the entire roast chicken, even the butt.

Zhang Yuan didn't realize until he finished eating that he had swallowed the entire roast chicken.

Su He handed over a handkerchief with a smile. Zhang Yuan coughed awkwardly and took the handkerchief to wipe his hands.

"Mother Zhang, how long will it take to get to Sanshi Village?"

"There's still about an hour and a half left, Tiedan, what do you think?"

"Almost. The carriage in our mansion is of good quality and the horse is energetic. We can speed up a bit."

"I'm telling you, Tiedan doesn't have any other skills, but he's a good driver, so don't worry. Let's take a rest, and we'll be there when we wake up."

Su He felt that Zhang's mother had become much more polite.

For a moment, everything inside and outside the car was quiet, with only the sounds of horses running and wheels rolling.

When Su He woke up again, Sanshi Village was almost there.

While Zhang's mother was still sleeping, Su He quietly looked at her watch. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon.

This Zhang Xu is really a professional at driving a car. He actually arrived an hour early.

As soon as the carriage entered the village, it was discovered. However, the villagers nearby only dared to follow it from a distance and did not dare to step forward to ask questions. Some smart ones had already gone to find the village chief.

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Zhang Xu explained to the carriage, "There are a bunch of children blocking the way ahead, Aunt, Hehua, wait a minute, I'll go and call out.

"Su Miao, your father is going to find you a stepmother. You are in trouble. You are going to be sold!"

"Nonsense, my father will never sell me out!"

"You still don't believe it, your sister was sold to pay for your mother's medical treatment. Now your father is going to marry a stepmother, so he can sell you for money!"

"My brother said I have a mother! I won't be sold. I'll beat you!"

Su Miao was thin and small, and the clothes he wore looked like they were altered to be too small by an adult. It was obvious that the person who altered the clothes was perfunctory. The trouser legs were rolled up again and again, and the waist was tied with a rope. The whole clothes were loose and not windproof or cold-resistant.

Su Miao stared at the little fat man fiercely. The little man, with a fierce force, suddenly knocked the little fat man opposite him down, nimbly rode on the man's neck, and grabbed the man's face with both hands.

The little fat boy was caught off guard at first and was hit several times, leaving his face scratched. But he came to his senses after a few punches.

After all, he was strong from eating so much, and he was also a head bigger than Su Miao. He tried to fight back, and this time Su Miao was pushed to the ground. The fat man was about to do the same to him and sit on his neck.

If he really sat on it, little Su Miao would suffocate even if he didn't get beaten.

Fortunately, after walking a few steps, he was grabbed by the collar and lifted up. The little fat boy looked up and saw a strange uncle.

Su Miao looked at the little fat boy being captured, and immediately wanted to stand up and run away, but she twisted her foot. Just when she thought she was going to fall flat on her face, a pair of gentle hands hugged her.

Su Miao looked up in surprise, and what she saw was a pair of gentle eyes, which looked like her brother's.

But why do this sister’s eyes have red eyes, like the little rabbit raised by butcher Wang?

"Xiao Miaomiao, I am your sister."
