Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

It was not convenient to take the donkey with her when shopping in the town, so Li Yu first paid a deposit of two taels of silver, and then used two cents to ask the owner of a nearby letter stall to help her write a donkey purchase contract. The contract stated the donkey's age and appearance details, and had her and the old man's handprints printed on it.

After confirming that everything was correct, she felt relieved and continued to move forward with Han Zheng and Han Xiaomei.

There is an opera performance today, also outside the town. The area around is crowded with people, and there are children making a lot of noise under the stage. It is so joyful!

Li Yu listened for a few seconds, then thought about what he had to do, so he walked around.

Compared to the outside of the town, the streets inside the town were more crowded and noisier. Li Yu held Han Xiaomei's hand tightly, fearing that she would get lost.

"Sister-in-law, shall we go shopping first?" Han Xiaomei asked.

Li Yu looked up at the crowd and said, "Let's walk and look, and buy if we find something suitable." At first she wanted to shop first and buy later, but seeing so many people, she thought she might not have the energy to walk around the town again, so she changed her mind.

In addition to the common items in Huangzhu Town, there are also some uncommon items at the temple fair. Li Yu saw silk that was said to be shipped from Nanzhou Prefecture, medicinal herbs collected from Beizhou Prefecture, silk flowers that were popular in the capital, and fruits from the southern border.

There were also donkeys for sale in the town, on the livestock street. Li Yu curiously went in to take a look and found that the donkeys there were not only expensive, but also of worse quality than the one she had seen outside the town.

Fortunately, I paid the deposit, otherwise if I went out to buy it after shopping in town, it would have been sold to someone else.

Coming out of the livestock street, Li Yu walked to the snack street. On the street, she met Aunt Wu and the village chief's wife.

Because there were few people selling jelly, the two people's stall was surrounded by people.

Li Yu and Han Xiaomei helped for a while, and left when they thought they were not so busy anymore.

The three of them strolled until noon.

Li Yu carried lemons, bananas and some other fruits, Han Xiaomei held two rolls of silk cloth, and Han Zheng carried more than a dozen bags of food.

After leaving the town, the three of them went straight to the place where the donkeys were sold.

The old man selling donkeys was eating a sesame cake. When he saw Li Yu coming back, he quickly put the sesame cake aside and said, "Sir, are you going home?"

Li Yu hummed, put the things down, took out six taels of silver and handed it to the old man, "This is the remaining money."

The old man took it happily and said, "I will bring the donkey to you right away."

As he said this, he quickly ran to the donkey and untied the rope tied to the tree. However, just as he was about to hand the rope to Li Yu, someone interrupted and said, "This donkey is good. I want it."

A familiar voice rang in his ears, Li Yu turned his head and saw Yang Qiuyue.

After not seeing her for a few days, Yang Qiuyue looked completely different.

All her clothes were changed into silk, and she even wore a silver hairpin on her head.

Seeing Li Yu's surprise, Yang Qiuyue smiled triumphantly and raised her hand to touch the hairpin: "Mr. Li, see, I am living better than all of you now."

After saying that, she looked at Han Zheng and Han Xiaomei, "Han Xiuwu is a waste. He has not allowed me to wear silk clothes for so many years. You are also waste. You can never catch up with me!"

Li Yu had no objection when she scolded Han Xiuwu, but she couldn't stand it when she scolded Han Zheng and Han Xiaomei.

Li Yu took the donkey rope and put it in Han Zheng's hand, then smiled at Yang Qiuyue, "Are you really doing well? If you are, what's the matter with the scar on your neck?"

Yang Qiuyue's face changed and she quickly covered her neck.

"And the wound on your wrist." Li Yu continued, "If what you mean by living a good life is being beaten, then we are definitely not living a good life. I can't bear to beat Xiaomei and Han Zheng."

Yang Qiuyue didn't expect that she could see through her unhappiness at once and went crazy immediately.

She screamed and stretched out her hand to grab Li Yu's face: "You bitch, it's all your fault!"

If Li Yu hadn't deliberately concealed his incompetence, she wouldn't have made a fuss about splitting up the family. If she hadn't split up the family, nothing would have happened later. She might still be in the Han family now, relying on the money earned by Li Yu from business, eating and drinking delicious food all day long, instead of now, having good food and clothes, but being beaten every day.

The old widower was not a human being. He loved to do tricks in bed and tortured her all day long. If Han Xiuwu had not been poor and the old widower was rich, she would not have been willing to follow him.

Yang Qiuyue was like a madman, wishing she could catch Li Yu to death. But she had never worked for years, and was completely different from Li Yu, who always pushed a cart to the town to do business. Li Yu easily restrained her.

"Yang Qiuyue, I thought you had learned your lesson, but I didn't expect that you would show off in front of me again just because you changed your man. Believe it or not, even if your new man is rich, I can still send you to the county jail!"

Yang Qiuyue: “…”

*

The noise they made attracted a lot of attention from other people.

Among them was Yang Qiuyue’s new man, the old widower who loved to beat people.

The old widower is big and strong, with rough eyebrows and eyes, and you can tell at first glance that he is not someone you want to mess with.

When Yang Qiuyue saw him, she thought she had found her savior and shouted at the top of her voice: "Boss, this woman hit me, beat her up to vent my anger."

The old widower looked at Li Yu, then at Han Zheng beside Li Yu, and suddenly slapped Yang Qiuyue in the face, "What did I say when I came here? Who told you to cause trouble everywhere?" The two in front of her, one is Boss Li who is not afraid of seeing officials in the town, and the other is Scholar Han. Both are not easy to mess with, but she chose to mess with them. She is really not afraid of causing trouble for him.

Yang Qiuyue was stunned and stared at the old widower in a daze.

The old widower pulled her out of Li Yu's hands and slapped her twice on the face. "If you do it again, I will beat you to death."

After saying that, he pulled the hairpin off Yang Qiuyue's head again, "There are so many thieves on the street, why are you still wearing it? Has your brain been eaten?!"

Yang Qiuyue was frightened by him and no longer dared to act arrogantly. She waved her hands and said, "I didn't, I didn't. I just wanted to let the people in Qingshui Village and Yangjia Village see that I am living a good life with you."

The old widower was slightly satisfied with this, snorted, and let her go, then dragged her away roughly.

Li Yu and Han Zheng watched the interaction between the two from the side, looked at each other, turned around and led the donkey away.

"I didn't expect Yang Qiuyue's new boyfriend would be like this." Han Xiaomei said after they walked away. When she was in the Han family before, Yang Qiuyue was the most comfortable one. She never had to work, and she was always the first in everything at home.

Li Yu: "She loves money, so it's not surprising that she finds a rich man." However, she misjudged Yang Qiuyue's tolerance level. The old widower looked violent, and Yang Qiuyue was willing to follow him despite this. This was a typical case of someone who valued money over life.

There were many things to talk about on the way, so the three of them quickly put Yang Qiuyue out of their minds and started talking about other things.

When they returned to the village, the three of them immediately attracted attention as soon as they appeared.
