Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Gu Xiang was left far behind, her heart filled with hatred.

She hated her brother for abandoning her, hated Shi Xiaoman for robbing her of her leisurely life, and hated Shi Jiacheng for being so heartless. They were so loving when they first got married, but now they have turned against each other.

Of course, she also hated Shi's mother, who always created conflicts between her and her husband. She often wondered why Shi's mother didn't just die.

If Shi's mother hadn't been around, she would probably be extremely happy with the Shi family now.

Life is definitely better than Shi Xiaoman's.

It took four people, four different postures, an hour to reach the town.

Gu Zhen had set up a stall once before, and today he was no longer as reserved as he was yesterday. He was packing up his things, and seemed particularly skillful.

Shi Yan had already woken up by now and sat down obediently on a small stool.

Shi Jiacheng, who had been talking to Gu Zhen all the way, just hid far away.

It is said that no one supervises business, and who knows if someone will come to catch him later, so it is easier for him to escape if he hides far away.

As for Gu Xiang, she had been carrying the load all the way and now had pain in her shoulders and waist. As soon as they arrived at the place, she sat down on the ground.

Shi Jiacheng only agreed to accompany her, whether to stay by her side or stand and watch from afar was up to him.

Shi Jiacheng had no intention of stepping forward to lend a hand. He was very tired from walking all the way into the city and now he just wanted to have a good rest.

After Gu Zhen and Shi Yan got the fire started, workers came up one after another with lunch boxes.

They didn't rush, but instead lined up consciously with their lunch boxes, with change for buying noodles placed on the lids of the lunch boxes.

To be honest, Shi Yan has experienced several lifetimes in this relatively simple era, although it is very inconvenient in terms of technology.

But it is not difficult for people to get along with each other.

The concept that the customer is God was not popular at that time. The salesmen in the supply and marketing cooperatives did not rely on commissions for their livelihood and were very arrogant.

Now Shi Yan and the other person are smiling a little, and everyone responds with kindness. This is a very comfortable way of getting along, but someone wants to break it.

There was a constant stream of customers coming to Shi Yan and Gu Zhen's noodle stall. The aroma of lard made Gu Zhen and Shi Jiacheng swallow their saliva.

But there were many outsiders around at the moment, and the two of them were too embarrassed to ask Shi Yan and Gu Zhen for noodles. In the end, they had to squat on the street corner, each gnawing on a burnt sweet potato.

The two men's eating manners were not very good, and the outer shells of the sweet potatoes were burnt, leaving black marks on their faces, making them look like they had just come out of a mine.

They are so unrefined and the things they sell are not rare, so naturally no one wants to come to them.

Gu Xiang didn't want to make a wasted trip, so she shamelessly ran to the noodle stall and started soliciting customers.

"Brother, you can't be full just by eating noodles, how about some sweet potatoes?"

"These are all grown by us rural people. They are big and sweet. You will not go wrong if you buy one."

Gu Xiang stood directly next to the cart and pulled the worker who was still holding the lunch box, not letting him leave. It was obvious that she was trying to force a sale.

The customer had noodles in his lunch box and didn't dare to use force at all, for fear that all the noodles would spill out.

In the end, under Gu Xiang's pestering, he had no choice but to pay a penny and buy a burnt sweet potato.

Shi Yan looked at Gu Xiang, who completely disregarded her dignity and asked the customers who had bought noodle soup to buy sweet potatoes one by one. For a moment, she felt as if it was Shi's mother who was shuttling among the workers.

Shi Yan looked back at her adopted brother again. He didn't seem to have any concern for his wife at all.

He counted the money that Gu Xiang handed over to him again and again, and he couldn't stop smiling.

In the end, because Gu Xiang was so shameless, when Shi Yan and the others closed their stall, Gu Xiang sold all the sweet potatoes she had picked from the town.

On the way back, Gu Zhen still forced Shi Yan to sit in the cart, and the two walked and whispered about today's income.

Gu Xiang and Shi Jiacheng had been walking together all the way, and they had a sweet feeling about each other.

But when I arrived at the village entrance, I saw a few kids from the village who usually played with cats and dogs, gathered together and whispered something.

Seeing his friends who always played with him gathered together, Shi Jiacheng hurried over.

As expected, Gu Xiang went home alone with the empty list. Not only did she not receive any praise, she was also severely scolded by Shi's mother.

It's not that she shouldn't sell her sweet potatoes so cheaply, just one cent, but that she never forgets to please men and is a slut who can't live without men.

Shi's mother didn't think from Gu Xiang's perspective at all. She didn't think that since the young couple had finally gotten the money, how could Shi Jiacheng hand it over again.

But the more Shi's mother scolded, the angrier she became, thinking that she had taken a basket of sweet potatoes to the city but brought back nothing.

It was the first time that the mother felt that she had raised her son in vain. At least when he went to her own money-losing place, he had fine food to eat and sugar water to drink.

At home, she had to endure the anger of her daughter-in-law. After her son got married, he also became more and more disobedient.

At that time, her mother even had the idea of ​​sending her to live with her daughter.
