After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

Chapter 41 Refugees will arrive tomorrow and must leave as soon as possible

"Okay, big sister, you go ahead and do your work. When I get back, I'll give you everything, including the land deed I got back."

Su Rongrong nodded and left without saying anything else. She had to go to Jishidiang.

Mrs. Min was doing fine. She planned to go over there and tell him about the "owe" money, and also get some cold medicine and bruise ointment to keep at home.

For some reason, she always felt uneasy, fearing that Lanxia County would also be affected and it would rain continuously.

Winter was about to arrive, and every rain brought cold weather. If there was a flood, she couldn't imagine how bad life would be then.

Modern people’s homes all have a home medicine box, and there is one in her space as well.

But this is ancient times after all. How can you get better without making medicine if you are sick?

Even if it's just superficial work, you have to put on a symbolic show.

Therefore, you must take medicine, but not too much. Three doses of medicine for wind-cold will be enough.

Also get some ointments for bruises and sprains. As long as the price is within her budget, it won’t be a mistake to prepare more of these!

Because of this plan, Su Rongrong went out and did not return until dark.

At this moment, not only did she have all the medicine in her space, she also bought a lot of meat and bones.

However, under Dr. Min's sincere advice, the medicine became ten doses of wind-cold medicine and five doses of anti-diarrhea medicine.

It is said that there are fewer and fewer medicinal materials in the clinic now, and many of them are supplied to Funing Prefecture and Qing'an Prefecture.

The common people there not only caught colds, but also dysentery.

After all, she bought it, just in case!

As for meat bones, they were five cents per pound yesterday, but this morning they became six cents. In the afternoon, the price was even more outrageous, going straight to seven cents.

In addition, I also went to several cloth shops and bought not only linen for making winter clothes and quilts, but also some cotton.

Due to the impact of floods outside, the price of cotton has been rising.

She didn't have much money, so she only bought one and a half kilograms of cotton.

The owner of the cloth shop said that at this time of year in the past, the price of new cotton was 85 wen per pound, while the price of old cotton was 70 wen.

However, affected by the disasters in the two prefectures, the price of cotton has soared to 200 wen per catty.

In order to make winter clothes, Su Rongrong gritted her teeth and took out the money.

As for quilts and other things, she planned to take them out from the space in the name of Baili Zheng.

She and her best friend each had two winter quilts and two mattresses.

The only difference is that they all use six-pound down quilts and four-pound cotton quilts as cushions.

She couldn't care less about that at the moment and planned to buy straw from the villagers when she returned and then weave her own straw mat.

Then combine the four-jin cotton quilts to make two seven-jin cotton quilts.

There are two kilograms of cotton left, which can be used to make winter clothes and winter shoes.

She has made preparations for a cold winter this year.

Now that she lives with her younger brother and sister, she must make sure they can safely survive this cold winter.

It was just the rising prices that caused her original plan to change.

I had originally planned to keep two taels of money for emergencies, but I’ve spent it all.

The only thing she was thankful for was that the owner of the cloth shop saw that she bought a lot of things, so he finally found two bags of cloth and sold them to her at a very low price.

Originally, she wanted her employer to give it to her, but he was unwilling.

The cloth scraps in the bag are not all small pieces. There are also larger pieces that can be used to make shoe uppers.

And those small pieces can also be glued together to make soles.

Su Rongrong looked through it and saw that although it was mainly made of cotton, it was also mixed with some brightly colored high-quality silk, so she spent money to buy it.

Therefore, by the time she returned with her bags, it was already dark.

Fortunately, Dahu followed Baili Zheng's instructions and waited at the intersection of the alley.

Seeing her coming back, he reached out to take the things in her hand and said expressionlessly:

"Miss Rongrong, my master asked me to wait for you here.

Your sister's indenture has been retrieved, but it has been taken to the government office for filing, so she will have to wait until tomorrow to have her slave status removed.

My lord, I will give it to you tomorrow along with the deeds for the woman’s household and the land.

This way you don't have to make a special trip to the yamen.

In addition, the young master also said that the refugees have already come this way, and the first wave should arrive tomorrow morning.

Therefore, you must take your brother and sister away before noon tomorrow.

Also, the temperature has dropped sharply in the past two days, so girls need to be more careful.

The young master has something else to do and will not return to Sujia Village for the time being.

If you have any problem, just look for Liu Quan.

If he can't solve it by then, just let him come here to find the Master."

When Su Rongrong heard this, she immediately became nervous, thinking that even the county town might not be safe anymore.

"Okay, I will definitely bring Jinhong and the others back before noon tomorrow.

But I have to go to the cloth shop in the morning, and as for Jinhong, I may need to trouble Brother Dahu to ask Doctor Min to come over and take a look."

"That's natural. The girl should go to bed early after she returns."

Da Hu said this, picked up his things and strode ahead.

After entering the Wang family residence, he carried the things to Su Jinhong's room before leaving.

At this time, Su Manman and others were here. When they saw the things piled on the ground, they went out to meet them.

Su Manman is a smart person and she always likes to observe.

After Su Rongrong entered the room, she closed the door and asked, "Sister, what's going on with these things on the ground? Is the disaster outside serious?"

Su Rongrong quickly told Da Hu everything about how she discovered the skyrocketing prices when she went shopping in the afternoon, and what Da Hu had just said.

After she finished speaking, she began to make arrangements: "Manman, you should sleep less tonight and try to finish the silk thread before dawn.

I will teach you the complicated methods later.

Jinhong, go to bed early. Doctor Min will come to check your injuries tomorrow morning.

As long as he says it's okay to go, we'll try to get back before noon.

Miaomiao, if you don’t go back today, you must come with us tomorrow.

My family is short of money right now, so I won’t talk to you about it.

For simple webs, I will charge you no matter how many you make. I will leave the complicated ones to Manman.

And Qiaoqiao, I will pick out some usable cloth scraps later and teach you how to make a hair flower.

Let’s try to make more. When I go to settle the payment for the necklaces tomorrow, I’ll also sell the hair flowers.

Our family is extremely poor now, and we don’t know if we can move to the city in the future.

So before I go back, I'll make as much money as I can."

After hearing Su Rongrong's arrangement, Su Manman and Su Qiaoqiao had no objection, while Liu Miao said:

"Rongrong, there's no need for you and me to be so polite. It's just a few strings, you don't have to charge me.

If you want to thank me, I'll go to your house for a meal or two."

Su Rongrong didn't want to be so outspoken with her, but as brothers, shouldn't they settle accounts clearly?

Hearing this, she looked at Jinhong from time to time, was silent for a while, and then responded.

"Okay, I won't be polite. I'll cook for you later. If you want to eat, just come over.

By the way, the temperature did drop quite quickly. It was extremely cold when I came back just now.

So I have to weave some straw mats. Miaomiao, if you have time when you go back, can you help me and the villagers buy some straw?"
