In the book, I was fed by my sister

Song Ran got up early. She wanted to drive the ox cart to the city to sell mushrooms.

Perhaps she believed what Song Li said, and moved a chair to the yard before leaving.

Song Li pulled her sister's sleeve and said, "Sister, I want to go with you, too."

Song Ran smiled and said, "The ox cart is full. It has to carry more than ten people. You are so small, don't get squeezed. I will lock the gate when I go out. You stay at home and bask in the sun until I come back."

Song Li looked up at the sky. Today was a bright sun with few clouds. It was indeed a good day to bask in the sun.

Song Ran locked the door, caught the ox cart to the city, and blended into the bustling crowd.

When everyone was gathered, the ox cart began to sway slowly towards the city.

Li Junlan was next to Song Ran. She could smell the fragrance of mushrooms through the cloth bag. "Song's sister, are those the wild mushrooms you picked in the mountains yesterday?"

Song Ran smiled and replied, "Yes, I was lucky. I picked one yesterday and was going to sell it at the market."

Li Junlan was somewhat envious. "When Wu Dongmei came back to the village yesterday, she said that you had picked a lot of mushrooms. Look at your basket. There are quite a lot of mushrooms. How about selling some to me?"

The aunt, who was standing back to back with Song Ran, overheard their conversation and quickly interrupted, "I can smell the fragrance of the mushrooms you wrapped in the bag. Do you want to sell them? Or should I buy some?"

Song Ran readily agreed: "That's great. If you buy these mushrooms from me, I won't have to go to the city."

"Hey, hey, hey, I want it too. Let's just split it among the three of us. Sister Ran, do you think ten is okay? It will save you the round-trip fare."

When Song Ran heard that the three people only wanted to give ten cents per pound, he gave up the idea of ​​selling mushrooms to them. It is not the season for eating mushrooms yet. There are not many people selling mushrooms in the market, and the price is relatively expensive. Even in the peak season for eating mushrooms, the price is twelve or thirteen.

Seeing this, Song Ran opened a corner of the cloth bag and said, "Sisters and aunts, my mushrooms are very fragrant, more fragrant than the ones I picked before."

As soon as the cloth bag was opened, the fragrance of mushrooms lingered throughout the ox cart, and even the old man driving the ox cart turned around to take a look.

Seeing that a whole car of people were attracted, Song Ran suddenly became confident, "As for the price, I will sell it at a higher price than usual, I will sell it at thirty."

"Hiss." Upon hearing this, several aunts and sisters who had just opened their mouths to buy mushrooms took a deep breath.

"Can you sell it at such a high price?"

"That's right. I went to the city to buy something the day before yesterday. I asked about the current price of mushrooms. The most expensive one only costs twenty cents."

Song Ran understood it in her heart, but she drank wild mushroom and egg soup last night. Wow, when had she ever eaten such delicious wild mushroom soup!

Lihua Village is backed by mountains, and they eat wild mushroom soup several times a year, but the taste yesterday was so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue. So she made a quick decision and went to the city tomorrow to sell it for thirty yuan. If no one bought it, she would take it back and eat it herself.

"It's okay. If I can't sell it, I'll just take it back and eat it with my sister."

"Tsk~ You really think you found a gold nugget, don't let it rot in your hands. Junlan sister, Fang sister, let's go to the mountains to have a look this afternoon, maybe we can find some big stuff."

The three of them chatted and laughed together and ignored Song Ran. Song Ran smiled without saying anything and rewrapped the mushrooms.

The ox cart swayed slowly, and when the sun became hot, it arrived at the city gate.

Since Lihua Village is far from the city, when he arrived at the market, all the stalls had taken up all the good spots. Song Ran had no choice but to find a corner and set up his wild mushroom stall.

When the wild mushrooms were opened from the cloth bag, they immediately attracted the attention of people who were buying vegetables nearby.

"Girl, your mushrooms look really good. How much are they?" The auntie took a liking to the mushrooms at first sight. She thought that even if the girl said twenty cents a pound, she would buy them all.

Song Ran showed three fingers and said, "Thirty cents."

"What? Thirty!" The aunt looked surprised.

"Yes, look at these mushrooms, one by one, each one is so fresh and juicy. You don't even need to get close to smell them, I believe you can smell the fragrance of these mushrooms just standing there."

"That's true, but the price..." The aunt was a little hesitant. Her daughter-in-law was in confinement after childbirth, so she wanted to feed her daughter-in-law better food. If she eats well, she will be in a good mood, and her milk supply will be sufficient.

"I ate it myself yesterday. I'm not bragging, but I've never seen mushrooms as delicious as these. If you think they're expensive, just buy a little less. Then go home and fry two eggs and put these mushrooms in them. They'll be incredibly delicious."

"Okay!" The aunt was so greedy.

"Girl, give me half a pound!"

The aunt sold half a pound, and Song Ran looked at the basket and estimated that there were about two pounds left.

The people around me just saw this scene. They all sighed in their hearts: What expensive mushrooms! There is no need to spend this money if we don’t have a live party at home, but maybe we can buy half a pound to try the freshness.

As everyone was hesitating, a woman came up to Song Ran. The woman had her hair combed shiny and a green hairpin in her bun.

Isn't this Wang Po, the housekeeper of the Gu family? Oh, I guess she has to buy all the mushrooms, everyone was muttering in their hearts.

Mrs. Wang came to Song Ran's vegetable stall, picked up a bunch of mushrooms, looked at them, smelled them, and weighed them in her hand. "Not bad, not like other mushrooms that need to be soaked in water. Thirty for this mushroom?"

"Yes." From the way the man was dressed and his aura, it was obvious that he came from a large family.

"It's a bit expensive. Weigh the mushrooms and I'll take them all."

Song Ran weighed it quickly, "One catty and eight ounces, a total of fifty-four cents."

The mushrooms were selling faster than she had imagined.

Those who hesitated just now regretted it in their hearts. They should have bought half a pound to try it out.

Unlike the busy Song Ran, Song Li was lying leisurely on a recliner at home, enjoying the sunshine.

The wind blew the locust tree, and the Songli lily chased the wind with its special powers, while the pollen danced in circles in the treetops. She let her ears go and could hear the dog napping and the rustling sound of the ears of grain in the field being blown by the wind.

Such a beautiful and carefree atmosphere was interrupted by a rough voice.

"Is Xiao Li'er at home? I'm your sister Zhu." Zhu Ximei asked while knocking on the gate.

"I know you are at home. I saw your sister get on the ox cart to the county town early in the morning." Seeing that no one answered in the yard and the gate was locked, Zhu Ximei shouted loudly.

"Let me tell you something. My brother is going to marry your sister. He used to dislike you as a burden, but now he doesn't care anymore. You will live with our family from now on, and Sister Zhu will make steamed egg custard for you every day."

Zhu Ximei's brother Zhu Ximing wanted to remarry Song Ran not long after his first wife died. Song Ran always called her aunt, so she insisted on calling her sister in order to build a relationship.

The Zhu family had a good plan. The Song family only had two sisters. When they got married, the house would belong to the Zhu family, and the land would also belong to them. The only bad thing was that there was a sick person, so in Zhu Ximei's eyes, Song Li was a thorn that needed to be removed.

It would be great if Song Li died accidentally. A medicine jar costs a lot of money.

She heard from her brother that every time Song Ran went to the city to get medicine, the money he earned could buy a nest of chicks.

So when she saw Song Ran washing clothes by the river yesterday, she sneaked over to find Song Li. It's easy for a child to die.

Unfortunately, Song Ran came back too soon, and he beat her up. When she got home, her brother scolded her, saying that she was too impatient and that only by coaxing the younger one would the older one feel at ease to get married.

Once someone gets married, they have to listen to their family.

So now she comes over to coax the younger one.

"Xiao Li'er, did you hear that? When your sister comes back, tell her that you want to live with us, and then you can enjoy life!"

"You're so good, Fatty Zhu. You took advantage of the other person's sister not being at home to feed the child some drugged food! Pah!" Grandma Gu heard Zhu Ximei spitting shit in her own yard. She was so angry that she hurried out to take a look.

"Xiao Li'er, I'm Grandma Gu, don't listen to her nonsense, and don't say those words in front of your sister."

Zhu family? Song Li had an impression that in the original text, the elder sister married a man named Zhu, and was later tortured to death.

She had to break off the marriage between the Zhu family and her sister.

"What nonsense are you talking about, old woman! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because your grandson is a soldier. The emperor is far away and if he really wants to cause trouble for you, do you think your grandson can really control you? Besides, there are no eyes on the battlefield. If your grandson dies one day, no one will collect his body."

How could Grandma Gu hear such unlucky words? Normally, whenever she broke a bowl, she would mutter: "I wish you peace."

"You! You! I'm going to fight you."

Grandma Gu is skinny and Zhu Ximei is fat. Just by standing there, she can knock Grandma Gu off.

"Ouch!"

"You bumped into me by yourself! Don't bother me."

Song Li listened to the noise outside the wall with a frown on her face. The pollen in the yard began to stir with her thoughts.
