Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation
Chapter 12: Planning Her Marriage
Su Qiuyi instinctively didn't want to say too much about her situation. Her injuries were not fatal anyway and she was still taking medicine, so she evaded the question and just told her to wait for news before going offline.
He was holding one tael of gold in his hand, which was a huge sum of ten taels of silver, which was enough for his handsome father to earn ten months' salary.
Now that she had money in her hands, she started thinking.
She couldn't get the vegetable seeds from the old woman, and she didn't want to get involved with that kind of person. Since she had money, why didn't she try to buy some and sell them to Wen Xin'er?
She acted right away. To buy seeds, she first needed some change. It would not be good to just go and buy seeds with only one or two taels of gold. She had to go to the city first and exchange the gold for silver and copper coins before she could do anything.
She said goodbye to her two sisters and left.
As for Xu Hui, her adopted mother, Su Lishi could not give her too much time to feel sad, and she had already called her to work.
Before leaving, Su Qiuyi still couldn't bear it, so she asked her sister to take the bowl of porridge left for her back to the house and asked them to find a chance to give it to her.
The original owner was like this before. It was common for her to go out and visit houses. As long as her grandmother didn't call anyone to work, she would go out, so her two younger sisters didn't ask too much about her whereabouts.
This made it easy for Su Qiuyi to find Qinghe Town along yesterday's route.
Although she was panting from exhaustion on the journey, fortunately there was a water dispenser, so she managed to get into the city with half her life left.
The situation was similar to yesterday, the only difference was that there was a water shop on the main street, next to a small restaurant.
A pound of water costs twenty cents, and it seems that business is pretty good.
Su Qiuyi was greedy. Holding an ounce of gold in her hand, she wanted to go to a restaurant to have a cheap meal to comfort her tortured stomach.
The owner of the bun shop knew her father and saw her again yesterday, but she didn't dare to go, so she happened to see the shop selling water.
At that time, there was a waiter standing at the door of the shop and shouting.
"Sweet well water, only 20 cents per pound, bring your own bucket! The shop doesn't provide buckets..."
Although it is expensive, there are still people who carry buckets to buy it.
Su Qiuyi was very excited, this was a good business, and water was what she had the most...
I stood next to the water shop for a while, rubbing my hands. I couldn't help but feel my stomach growling, so I turned around and walked into the smallest restaurant nearby.
She only ordered a bowl of noodles and spent fifty cents.
But he had a good meal. After drinking all the soup, he took out the only one or two taels of gold he had and handed it to the shopkeeper to pay the bill.
The shopkeeper was a little stunned. He couldn't believe that the yellow-haired girl in tattered clothes actually took out one or two taels of gold. He took the gold and put it in his mouth and bit it.
After finally confirming that it was true, he looked at Su Qiuyi suspiciously for several times before slowly giving her the change.
By the time Su Qiuyi got the five taels of silver, four one taels of silver, and nine hundred and fifty copper coins to leave the restaurant, he was already sweating coldly.
She was afraid that the shopkeeper was a bad person and would take her money and not give it to her.
Patting her chest, she felt her full stomach as if she had survived a disaster and strolled along the main street, looking for her target.
I looked around for a long time but couldn't find any seed shop at all.
It’s easy to imagine that if everyone is dying of drought and facing the risk of dying of thirst, who would buy seeds to plant crops?
Finally, Su Qiuyi had no choice but to go to the grain store, but he still couldn't find any unhulled seeds. When he asked, he found out that the price of brown rice had risen to 20 cents per catty, and that white rice was 30 cents per catty.
She gritted her teeth, took out three hundred coins and bought ten kilograms of rice. The brown rice was too harsh on her throat.
She couldn't carry too much, so she had no choice but to carry them home ten kilograms at a time.
Fortunately, she still had a water source, otherwise the little money she had would not be enough for her to spend.
He carried ten kilograms of rice out of the town and waited until he was in a place where there was no one before putting the rice into the space.
It’s called a space, but the place to put things is really not big, so she piled the rice in the corner next to the water dispenser.
I didn't buy anything else. It's not that I felt bad about spending the money, but I had no excuse to buy anything for my family.
Fortunately, there was still some food at home so I didn't starve to death.
If she secretly takes some water for her family to drink, there shouldn't be any problem.
Let's wait until she figures out a solution.
We walked for about another hour and when we got home, it was already afternoon. Fortunately, I had food in my stomach, so I wasn't as tired as before.
I rested several times on the way and drank some water a few times, and I felt pretty good.
When I passed by my aunt's house, I met my aunt and cousin who were coming back from the mountain and we chatted for a while.
"Yiyi, you still have a wound on your head, don't run around like a girl..."
Su Xiaofang gave her niece a very serious lecture.
Hearing this, Su Qiuyi and her cousin next to her made eye contact and they both laughed secretly.
"Okay, go home quickly!" Su Xiaofang's old face turned red. Thinking of her own fierceness, she felt embarrassed and drove the man home.
Su Qiuyi was in a good mood. This was the first time she spoke to her cousin from her aunt's family since her rebirth. She felt that she was a very nice girl and very much to her liking.
I was humming a song as I walked home. After taking a few steps, I saw two figures swaying in front of the gate of the Su family's courtyard.
Out of curiosity, she slowly moved closer and the sound came clearly.
"Third sister, does your brother-in-law have any money left? I went to the town today with the little money you sent. It's only enough to buy a few kilograms of rice, which is enough for the whole family to eat for two days! This is not a big deal! And, there are only a few bird eggs, and your nephews didn't have enough to share, and they even had a fight..."
Su Qiuyi felt a surge of anger rising in her heart. She was angry when she thought of the bird eggs. She was still craving for them when her stepmother stole them and gave them to her parents' home.
"I just found that little money. Your brother-in-law probably doesn't have any left. Yiyi spent too much money on her injury. Can't you just buy some brown rice? You can even buy a few more pounds!"
The ruffian-like man standing next to Xu Hui, shaking his legs constantly, became unhappy when he heard this.
"Third sister, you don't keep your word in this family. Your brother-in-law doesn't listen to you. You have to secretly send money to your parents' house to help them. If it doesn't work, just give up! I will find you another family!"
When Xu Hui heard this, she covered her brother's mouth with her hand and angrily taught him not to say such things in the future.
The brother and sister started arguing, and Xu Mancang just wanted his sister to give him some more money.
She said that her brother-in-law was working in town and it was impossible that he only had that little money, so she asked her to get some more.
Su Qiuyi slowly approached, and the two people who were arguing didn't notice her until she stood behind them and spoke softly:
"What kind of in-law family does uncle want to find for me?"
The two were frightened and suddenly alerted. Xu Hui turned around with a pale face, and Xu Mancang also turned around in panic, looking at his niece who appeared behind him at some point, and patted his chest.
"Yiyi, when did you come out? You scared your uncle to death..."
Xu Hui wanted to say something, but her lips trembled a few times and she ended up saying nothing. She turned to her brother and asked him to go back first.
"Mancang, you should go back first. The children's marriages are decided by their grandfather! Don't say such things in the future!"
