Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Li Erjia stood there laughing non-stop. "Sister Xia's temper is really getting better and better. Now she dares to make fun of me, your sister-in-law. Why don't you dare to sit down? No matter if you intercepted or robbed it, I, your sister-in-law, will still sit down."

After Li Erjia finished speaking, he sat down on the seat, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

Xia Shengsheng particularly likes this type of her. Her cheerful personality makes people feel comfortable when they look at her.

"Hold on tight! This is my first time driving a car. If you get thrown off the car, I won't cover the medical expenses!

"Hello~"

The two of them were talking and laughing along the way. Li Erjia heard from others yesterday that her mother was sick.

I got up early today and went home.

Her home was far away, so she had to walk to Huaiyang Village first. There was a family in Huaiyang Village that had an ox cart, and there were also ox carts in several surrounding villages and towns, so she could just go there to take a ride.

I originally wanted to stay there for one night, but then something happened and I hurried back.

"How is your aunt? What's wrong with her?" Xia Shengsheng looked at Li Erjia and thought she didn't look sick, so she dared to ask.

"Hey! There's nothing going on, just yelling nonsense.

I have a younger brother! We got engaged last year, and the betrothal gifts had already been agreed upon: two taels of silver as a gift to the bride, plus a piece of red cloth and 200 kilograms of grain.

Who knew that the woman would change her mind again and insist on adding an extra three taels of silver and an extra five hundred kilograms of grain to the betrothal gift.

Who can afford to spend so much money on marrying a daughter-in-law these days? Isn't this a life-threatening thing?"

"So, Auntie wants to find a reason to ask you to go back and discuss something?"

"What are they discussing? If there was anything, they would have already discussed it.

A family like this should just break up. Why would they want to get married?

It was my cowardly brother who insisted on marrying that girl.

My mother and my elder brother can't afford so much money.

She thinks I married well and wants to take advantage of me.

But what can I do? If there is a life-threatening situation at home and I need money, I can get some money from my parents and my father-in-law can't say anything.

But isn't it obvious now that he is being blackmailed by the girl's family?

Whoever pays the money is a fool. Don’t I have to live my own life?

This time, I had a falling out with my mom and brother. Alas! Every family has its own worries!"

Xia Shengsheng is not a good person and she is not good at judging other people's affairs too much. She can only give simple advice and not say too much.

"Don't think too much, sister-in-law. I think it's because my aunt and the others haven't come around yet. Once they do, it will be easier to deal with. Don't get too angry."

Li Erjia just sighed, and when he looked up, a smile appeared on his face again. "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something happy."

"I do have something to cheer you up about, I wonder if it can change Sister Lanhua's mood?"

Xia Shengsheng told Li Erjia that he was going to build a house and wanted to order some tables, chairs, benches, and a few simple pieces of furniture from the Li family.

"Oh my! Sister, this is really good!

You are really amazing. Not only have you managed to make a good living for yourself, but you have also brought benefits to your sister-in-law's family.

There are fewer furniture making jobs recently, so my husband and my uncle want to find some part-time jobs to supplement the family income.

This is good, at least I don’t have to go out recently.”

Li Erjia talked a lot all the way, but she was very smart and never asked Xia Shengsheng where the money to build the house came from.

I also didn't ask how much silver Xia Shengsheng got from selling wild ginseng, which was rumored in the village some time ago.

It’s really comfortable to talk to smart people.

When we arrived at the village, there were some children playing outside.

Sicheng and Huzi were also among them.

Seeing Xia Shengsheng driving the donkey cart, Sicheng shouted and ran towards Xia Shengsheng frantically.

The other children followed closely behind.

"Mother, mother! Where did you get the donkey cart?"

Xia Shengsheng directly lifted Sicheng up and carried him onto the donkey cart.

"My mom bought it for me! Sit down, are you happy?"

Sicheng clapped his hands and jumped on the donkey cart in joy.

"That's great, that's great, my family has a donkey cart now, I can ride it..."

A group of children looked at Sicheng with envy.

Xia Shengsheng looked at the bunch of little kids below. Most of them were like the few children back then and had never ridden in a ox-horse cart.

Seeing their expectant eyes, I couldn't help but say proudly, "Do you want to get on board? Come on, I'll take you around the village."

"Wow, that's great!"

"I want to go up, I want to go up."

"I'm going to take the donkey cart."

“Great, great!”

The children jumped into the carriage excitedly.

Li Erjia got off the carriage with a smile and helped some of the children who were too young to climb up.

"Sister Xia, why don't you take the kids for a walk first? I'll go back to cook. Bring the kids to your sister-in-law's house for dinner tonight! It's a good opportunity for us to discuss what kind of furniture you want to make!"

"Sister-in-law, please don't prepare our portion. I bought some vegetables and it's so hot today. If you don't cook, they will go bad.

I will go to the village chief's house first, and then go to my sister-in-law's house after dinner! I have something else to discuss with my sister-in-law!"

After Xia Shengsheng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Er's wife to pull him anymore. He just drove the donkey cart and took the children around the village.

The children shouted excitedly on the donkey cart, attracting a lot of people's attention.

Many people heard the noise and ran out of the house, and when they saw this harmonious scene, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

There were some people who talked about it behind my back, but most of them had no bad intentions and were just curious.

"The Liu family bought a donkey cart? Did they find gold?"

"Didn't I hear some time ago that wild ginseng was dug up in the mountains? I guess they sold it for a lot of money, right?"

"How can I be so lucky? It would be great if I could dig a few roots of wild ginseng from this deep well."

"You don't even dare to go to Shen Shen, and you still want to dig ginseng? You wish!"

"You still have the nerve to talk about me, as if you haven't thought about it."

"Alas! I don't have that fate!"

When Xia Shengsheng was driving the donkey cart to the end of the village, he specifically asked Sicheng to call the other children.

Let them sit on it and take a walk around.

But in the end, only Liu Shanshan and Liu Yiyi came out.

Ercheng was afraid that it would be inconvenient for no one to be home, and there was a patient at home, so he did not run out, saying that there would be plenty of opportunities to ride a donkey cart in the future.

Xia Shengsheng had no choice but to take the other children and walk around the village.

Sometimes I picked up one or two along the way.

In the end, the whole donkey cart was so packed that it seemed impossible to tell whose head was whose.
