Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 13 Encountering Robbers on the Road

Ruan Qingqing walked while calculating today's gains in her mind: one hundred bamboo hairpins, each costing thirty coins, twenty bamboo boxes, each costing one hundred and twenty coins, and nine bamboo swords, each costing ten coins.

In this way they earned a total of 5,490 coins.

"Daya, let's go to the clothing store and buy clothes for everyone and go back early." Ruan Wantie now looked at everyone on the street as a robber and wanted to go home immediately.

"Okay!" Ruan Qingqing also wanted to go back early.

They visited several stores and got a rough idea of ​​the prices of ready-made clothes.

The price of a set of coarse cloth top and pants for adults is about 80-100 wen, while that for children is 40-60 wen.

If the outer garment is stuffed with cotton, the price will be doubled.

They also went into the cloth shop to take a look.

Coarse linen cost 3 wen per foot, and a piece of cloth cost 120 wen, which could make about 5-6 sets of clothes for adults.

Cotton cloth was 15 wen per foot, and one piece was 100 wen. Cotton was wen per jin.

After asking about the price, Ruan Wantie was shocked. "Daya, let's buy some cloth and needles and thread and let your mother make it!"

"But mother has a hard time even sitting down now, how can she have the energy to make clothes?" Ruan Qingqing directly rejected the suggestion of letting Wang make clothes.

"Why don't you ask your grandma to help? You can also buy some cloth for your grandma as a reward for her hard work. It will also be much more economical than buying ready-made clothes directly." Ruan Wantie suggested.

Ruan Qingqing shook her head. "Dad, let's not trouble grandma if we can solve the problem ourselves! First, buy two sets of clothes and a coat for each of us. Then buy a piece of fine cotton cloth to make a few sets of clothes for the unborn brother or sister, and a piece of coarse linen as a backup."

When Ruan Wantie wanted to say something else, he thought about the situation when he borrowed clothes at the old house last night, and finally he remained silent.

Ruan Qingqing finally bought clothes and shoes for the whole family in a clothing store with relatively reasonable prices. After some bargaining, she spent a total of 1760 copper coins.

Before leaving, she saw some scraps of cloth piled up in the corner and spent five cents to pack them all up and take them away.

He also bought a piece of linen and a piece of cotton cloth at the cloth shop, spending 570 coins.

She then bought some needle and thread, a pair of scissors, and a backpack at the grocery store, spending 50 cents.

Holding the remaining 3110 copper coins, Ruan Qingqing didn't dare to spend any more and wanted to save some for her family.

Because shopping took up a lot of time, as soon as they came out of the grocery store, the father and daughter, each carrying a backpack, hurried back.

"Daya, let's hurry up. We should be able to get home before dark."

"Dad, if we find a ride on the road, we should take it and get home earlier. I'm afraid mom and the others at home will be worried."

Ruan Qingqing wanted to get home earlier. After all, they had been out for a day, and Wang, who was pregnant, should not be left alone. It was okay during the day, but it was not okay to be alone with the little ones at night.

"Well, let's go as far as possible and walk a little further, so we can spend less money." Ruan Wantie said while wiping the sweat from his forehead and looking into the distance, "We should pay attention to the road later and take the bus if there is one."

"Fine!"

Ruan Qingqing didn't expect that her father had such a stingy personality. But now the family needs money everywhere, so he might as well be stingy!

However, things were not as good as they expected.

Not long after they left the city gate, the father and daughter were stopped by a group of people.

"Hand over the silver you have on you, or don't blame us for being rude!" A burly man with a face full of flesh stood at the front with a big knife on his right shoulder, looking at them with his chin raised high.

This is being targeted.

Judging from the size of the sword, the person coming here might have some background.

Ruan Qingqing lowered her eyebrows, put down the backpack, suddenly pulled out the bamboo sword from the backpack, and stabbed the burly man preemptively.

"Wow! The little girl is quite capable!"

The sturdy man didn't take the bamboo sword stabbing at him seriously at all, and even commented on it leisurely.

But soon his composure was broken, "You stupid girl, I, Old Hu, will destroy you!"

In just a few breaths, his entire body was whipped by the bamboo sword, and the pain made him extremely angry.

"What are you still standing there for? Catch that girl for me. I want to teach her a lesson myself!" Seeing that he was no match for his opponent, the sturdy man shouted at his stunned men behind him.

Those minions immediately pushed and shoved each other forward.

Ruan Qingqing leaped forward and kicked the sturdy man on the forehead, knocking him to the ground in an instant, and at the same time snatched the big knife from his hand.

"Da Ya, be careful!"

As Ruan Wantie shouted, more than a dozen people surrounded her in an instant. Ruan Qingqing pursed her lips, tightly gripped the knife handle, and watched the robbers approaching with full vigilance.

Just as Ruan Wantie was about to step forward to help, he was immediately held down by two people.

"Little girl, let's see how you can escape from the grasp of Old Hu this time! Come on! If we can't catch you alive, it's the same if we kill you on the spot!" The burly man named Hu, also known as Hu Hansan, got up, retreated behind the crowd, and said with a gloomy face.

Ruan Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly, and before the robbers started to attack, she swung her sword. When the sword was swung, everyone stepped back. After it was swung, they came closer, and quickly hit her with sticks.

She endured the pain and swung the knife at the person who attacked her from behind, injuring two people instantly.

"Hit them! Hit them hard!" Hu Hansan was even more furious when he saw that two of his men were injured.

The robbers didn't care about anything else and beat Ruan Qingqing severely with the long sticks in their hands.

Ruan Qingqing kept swinging her knife at the people who attacked her, and every time she swung, she would injure two people.

Even so, her clothes were torn and her head was hit, bleeding profusely.

But she was like a ferocious wolf in desperate situation, ruthlessly using the knife in her hand to reap the enemies who hurt her one by one.

This was Chi Jingxiao's most intuitive feeling. He watched in shock as the little girl, who was a head shorter than him, fought back fiercely amid the rain of sticks.

"Dad, that girl is from our village." He swallowed and couldn't help but remind his father.

Chi the Hunter frowned as he looked at the little girl who was slashing fiercely in the rain. She didn't look like a girl from a farm family at all. Her skills were like those of someone who had practiced martial arts for more than ten years.

"Dad, if we don't take action now, that girl will really be beaten to death!" Chi Jingxiao reminded Chi the hunter who was distracted.

"Daya! Stop hitting my Daya! If you want to hit me, hit me, not my Daya!"

On the other side, Ruan Wantie was pressed to the ground, looking into the distance with red eyes, calling Ruan Qingqing and begging for help, shouting until he was hoarse.

The appearance of Chi Liehu and his son immediately gave him hope. "Brother Chi, please save my daughter, I, Ruan Wantie, will repay you even if I have to work like a cow or a horse!"
