A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises
Chapter 240 Two more coming?
At the door of the grocery store in the county town, Shitou loaded the last basket of things onto the carriage, turned around and greeted Hanhan.
"Hanhan, everything is put away, it's time for us to go."
At this moment, the carriage that was empty when it came was now half full at the grocery store alone.
Of course, a lot of money was spent.
Now it's not just food prices that are skyrocketing, even the prices of coarse salt, sugar and other things are rising endlessly.
On ordinary days, these things might cost less than two taels of silver.
But now, it has cost more than ten taels.
Hanhan was putting things away in the carriage. When he heard Shitou's call, he immediately came out of the carriage.
The weather is getting warmer and it's quite cool sitting outside.
"Brother Shitou, everything is in order, we can go now."
Before Shitou could pick up the whip and swing it, a delicate voice was heard.
"Brother Stone? Are you Brother Stone?"
When Shitou suddenly heard the words "Brother Shitou", he was startled, thinking that Qi Yun'er was chasing him again.
Could it be that those several big men couldn't stop her?
But when Shitou turned around and saw the girl's appearance clearly, he was stunned.
Because this person is not Qi Yun'er, but who is this person? She looks a little familiar, but for a moment, Shitou can't remember who she is.
"You are--"
The girl obviously didn't expect that Tian Shitou didn't remember her. A hint of anger flashed across her face, but she quickly concealed it.
She walked over gracefully and stood in front of Shitou. She smoothed her fallen hair, then raised her head and smiled at Shitou tenderly, "Don't you remember me? I'm Ma Xiangzhi."
Ma Xiangzhi?
Shitou was shocked. Is that Ma Xiangzhi from Majiagou?
But then, his brows frowned again.
"Miss Ma, are you here to buy something at the grocery store as well? Oh, there aren't many people in the grocery store right now, so you should go in and buy something."
Ma Xiangzhi complained in her heart that Tian Shitou was really like a piece of stone and had no understanding of romance.
How could I come here to buy things? Things outside are so expensive now, how many people can afford them?
Although she did come to the county town to buy things today, she only bought embroidery thread.
You can buy some embroidery thread, embroider a few handkerchiefs or small items, and then take them to the shop to exchange for some money.
She heard that Tian Shitou bought a lot of things here, so she came here to try her luck.
Hearing that Tian Shitou didn't remember her, Ma Xiangzhi felt a little embarrassed, but she still pretended to be familiar with him and said, "Actually, the last time—"
The last time Ma Xiangzhi mentioned was the blind date with the young master of the Li family in the county town.
"It wasn't my own will. My parents forced me to go. You know, some things, especially marriage, are arranged by the matchmaker and my parents. I had no choice but to do it. In my heart, I still prefer you."
Shitou felt that he did not check the Gregorian calendar before going out today, otherwise why did Qi Yuner come first and Ma Xiangzhi come later?
"Girl, let's not talk about some things. We are not destined to be together. Let's just be like before—"
Ma Xiangzhi was puzzled, "It was normal before?"
Shitou nodded, "Yes, the girl and I didn't know each other before, and it will be the same in the future. After all, our two families have broken off the engagement, and the man and the woman's marriage have nothing to do with each other."
"But--"
Without waiting for Ma Xiangzhi to say anything, Shitou called Hanhan and was about to leave, whipping his horse.
In the alley nearby, Liao, who had been watching her daughter's actions, saw Shi Tou was about to leave, so she rushed out without thinking and stopped the carriage.
The horse was frightened and raised its two front hooves high, almost kicking Liao out.
Liao, still in shock, rolled and crawled, retreating several steps before escaping from danger.
"Oh my god! Boss Tian, you are so ungrateful. I just wanted to come over and talk to you, but you want to kill me. It's hard for Xiangzhi to still be thinking about you and say she will marry you."
In Liao's opinion, Shitou was not worthy of their Xiangzhi. If Ma Youcai hadn't said that the Tian family had made a lot of money and their family was now living a hard life, Liao would never have looked down on Shitou, who was born into a peasant family.
Even though he became rich and lived a good life, he still smelled of dirt, and even if he put on the dragon robe he did not look like a prince.
Hanhan snatched the whip from Shitou's hand and rushed over.
"What are you doing? Don't you know it's dangerous? If you don't want to live, don't harm others!"
Although Hanhan spoke in a childish tone, he still knew some things. He learned about Brother Shitou's past from his godmother.
He doesn't like the Ma family in Majiagou.
When he is out, he must protect Brother Shi Tou, especially not let those dirty people get close to Brother Shi Tou.
In his opinion, Brother Shitou is the best, and it is the Ma family that is not worthy of Brother Shitou.
He secretly glanced at Ma Xiangzhi standing opposite him. Haha, she had a long face and was covered in dirt. She stood there as if everyone owed her money. She looked even less pleasing to the eye than Aying, and she still dreamed of being a good match for Shitou? Ugh!
Although he didn't know what the mother and daughter were planning, as long as he was there today, he would not let them go.
"Brother Stone——"
Shitou waved his hands quickly, "Miss Ma, we are not that close yet. Besides, I only have two sisters. It is not appropriate for you to call me brother."
"Tian Shitou! Don't be so shameless!"
When Liao saw that her daughter was wronged, she quickly spoke up to stop her.
Shitou ignored her, greeted Hanhan, and drove away directly, leaving Liao's mother and daughter standing there stupidly and at a loss.
Leaving now? This is not what they thought!
Especially Ma Xiangzhi, she felt that she had been greatly insulted.
Whenever she talked to someone, they would praise her.
But when I met the Tian family, why were each one more difficult to deal with than the other?
"Mom, what should I do? What should I do?"
Liao was so angry about the stone that she said, "How can I know what to do? If it doesn't work out, you can just accept the marriage with the Chen family. In my opinion, no matter how rich the Tian family is, we won't get any benefit from it."
When it comes to the Chen family, Ma Xiangzhi is a little reluctant, but now it seems that she can forget about the Tian family.
But the man from the Chen family had been married twice, had two children, and was a dozen years older than her.
If she marries him, she will become a stepmother.
Ma Xiangzhi was really unwilling to accept this, but the reality was that apart from the Chen family, there was probably no other family better off than hers.
