Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

"Sister, take forty cents." Xu Siyu pushed the money back.

Butcher Yang might not say anything if there was a pound of meat missing, but if the elder sister charged too little for the meat, she would probably have a hard time.

This was to help support her family, so Xu Si Nong didn't hesitate. She quickly found sixty coins, strung them together with cotton thread, and handed them to Xu Si Yu. "Keep it."

She knew in her heart that the rest was probably pocket money that Xu Wangshi gave to her sister.

I was just about to chat with Xu Siyu when I saw her mother-in-law coming from the east.

At Xu Si Nong's suggestion, Xu Siyu quickly left from the west side.

She walked five or six meters with her back to the street, and when she could no longer see anyone, she returned to the main street.

Xu Siyu realized that her behavior of hiding today was not like her original owner. The original Xu Siyu would not be so obedient. Not only would she not actively avoid Yang Li who disliked her, she would also immediately become angry and ready to fight.

But now she doesn't want to have conflicts with her relatives at every turn, and she doesn't want her elder sister who loves her to be wronged because of her.

In fact, there is a reason why Yang Li and even the entire Yang family hate her.

The Yang family sells meat, and their food is better than that of ordinary families. In the past, Xu Wangshi liked to send Xu Siyu to the Yang family as a guest to get some food.

At first, Yang Li asked Xu Si Nong to save some meat to entertain Xu Si Yu.

But Xu Siyu was a person without any tact. She ate all the meat without caring whether Yang Li, her brother-in-law and two nephews had any.

Not only at the dinner table, but if she saw her two nephews eating alone, even if it was just steamed corn bread, she would take advantage of her young age and seniority to grab it and eat it without hesitation.

With this kind of behavior, how can the Yang family like her?

Even the hardworking and filial Xu Si Nong had a hard time living in the Yang family.

……

Alas, the original owner was such a bad person. Thinking of the flesh behind her, she had to think about how to change the Yang family's opinion of her.

She stopped at the big locust tree at the edge of the town and looked at the people in the town. Human relationships always require reciprocity.

People at that time often gave sugar and wine as gifts.

She quietly looked at the Pinduoduo page again and searched the prices. Sugar was a luxury item in ancient times, so she was sure it was cheaper on Pinduoduo; as for wine, she needed to compare it with the price in the store.

After thinking about it, she walked towards the wine shop.

"A bottle of wine weighing four taels sells for twenty wen. It's even better if you buy a jar weighing ten taels, which costs for forty wen." The wine shop in the village is the owner's own workshop, and the pricing is very fair.

However, Xu Siyu bought a 600ml bottle of rice wine of similar size on Pinduoduo for five cents, and a 1500ml bottle of six-year-old Huadiao in a jar for only fifteen cents.

So, after politely responding to the wine shop owner, Xu Siyu hid in the corner of the back street and exchanged it for a jar of Huadiao wine and peanut candy that cost twelve cents per pound.

After tearing off the product's trademark, I spent two cents to buy fifty sheets of oil paper, took out two sheets and packed the peanut candies into half-pound pieces.

Xu Siyu is preparing to go to the meat stall to give gifts.

Although she only spent nineteen cents, considering the prices in town, these two items together were considered an expensive gift.

Xu Siyu just didn't believe it. She couldn't change the Yang family's opinion.

At the meat stall, the Yang family's meat had been sold out. Yang Li was counting the silver and money in the money box, while Xu Sinong was scrubbing the countertop with water.

"Auntie Yang, Sister!" Xu Siyu called their attention.

It was visibly that Yang Li's face tightened and she showed an expression of disgust, but she did not curse. She just nodded slightly and closed the money box in her hand.

"Little sister, what are you doing...?" Xu Si Nong just thought that her little sister had grown up. When she saw her mother-in-law, she knew to avoid her and didn't confront her and call her a "stingy old woman". Why did she come back again?

Xu Sinong was very nervous.

Xu Siyu smiled naturally, "Big sister, the New Year is coming soon. Mother didn't know if you would return to Xinshan Village before the New Year. She was worried that the butcher stall would be too busy and you and your brother-in-law would not be able to work, so she asked me to bring the New Year gift for the Yang family."

As she spoke, Xu Siyu handed over the sugar wine that she had repackaged.

This... is really like the sun rising from the west. Xu Si Nong didn't understand what her sister was trying to do, and she took the New Year gift "for her" in a daze.

Yang Li was watching from the side and found it incredible. That unyielding relative gave them something?

He was willing to speak.

"My in-laws have grown up. For the past twenty years, apart from sending Si Nong two ounces of brown sugar and eight eggs when she gave birth to the two boys, I have never seen her remember her daughter and our Yang family as her in-laws!"

Of course, he had done many things like asking for meat from the stall, but in Yang Li's view, that was something a debt collector, not a relative, would do.

Looking at the packaging, Yang Li knew that the wine was a gift for her son, as the jar was quite large.

Although her mouth was sharp, her heart was comforted.

After so many years, her son finally gained the attention of his mother-in-law.

"My mother asked someone to buy this wine and peanut candy from the county." Xu Siyu made up a story about their origins.

"It sounds like my in-laws have to spend a lot of money." Yang Li was satisfied with the amount of the gifts, but she still reserved her attitude and didn't quite believe that Xu Wang would be willing to spend it.

"Wait until Dali is done with his busy schedule, and let him accompany Si Nong back. As for Tianbao and Tianci, they should still follow the rules of the second day of the New Year." Yang Li still thought that Xu Wang was going to ask Yang Dali and Xu Si Nong for money or things, so she had to let the couple go and find out everything.

In the Yang family, she had set the rules. If the Xu family wanted to borrow money, they could just give them some food and meat, and that would be considered as fulfilling their filial piety to Mrs. Xu Wang.

"Well. Then I'll let mom wait for you at home." After saying that, he turned sideways and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Yang Li stopped Xu Siyu, grabbed a dozen copper coins, handed them to Xu Si Nong, and said, "We don't have any extra meat today, buy some cakes for your sister to take back."

Yang Li watched Xu Siyu grow up. She had a round and sweet appearance and was very likable, but her competitive and unreasonable temper was really bad.

Today, she was very polite in her interactions with others, and Yang Li felt that she couldn't let the little girl go back empty-handed.

Xu Si Nong put down the sugar and wine, happily took the copper coins, went to the place diagonally opposite and weighed four taels of cloud cakes. For the first time, in front of Yang Li, he openly handed the small bag of cakes to Xu Siyu, and asked her to send Xu Siyu out of the town.

Her younger sister didn't make a fuss, her mother-in-law didn't scold her, everything was harmonious, and Xu Sinong felt like she was dreaming today.

Back at the stall, mother-in-law Yang Li had obviously checked all the gifts Xu Siyu had sent.

"Your mother, I don't know where she found the money to buy all these expensive things. Remember to bring some rice and flour back when you go back, and remind her to stock up. Dali has traveled around the area and found out that this year's harvest is 10% less than last year's. We've been eating our own surplus food these past few months. Your mother may not know yet, but the price of rice and flour at the grain store has increased again. You should talk to your mother and tell her to buy less flashy things to please your sister. With so many mouths to feed in the family, is it possible that only one person eats meat while everyone else eats wild vegetables..."

"Hey." Xu Sinong's eyes were hot. Her mother-in-law was a good person, and her mother was also very good.
