Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

"I have thirty pieces of rosewood in different styles that I can sell to the shopkeeper, and more than fifty pieces of ordinary styles.

Red sandalwood is 95 taels, and ordinary gold is 1 tael and 5 cents. If you agree, I will sell them all to you. If you don't want them, I can't give you any. I will go to Baibaotang to ask later."

"Has anyone seen this style before?"

"Your young lady bought it, and no one else has seen it since except my family."

"Okay, I agree."

Shopkeeper He was also decisive. Rosewood is hard to find, and the style he had just seen was very novel.

Even if he gets it from the young lady, it will take more than half a month to research and produce it. Baibaotang has been trying to compete with him recently, so he can't let them snatch it away.

Xu Tao, with more than four thousand taels in her pocket, turned into the alley from the back door, removed her makeup, changed her clothes, and even took off her hair bun and re-combed it before leaving through another exit.

"Little sister, why did you take so long?"

Xu Sanzhuang was relieved only after the person came back. He would never let his younger sister act alone next time.

Xu Tao stuck out her tongue. "I'm sorry, Third Brother. I was too engrossed in shopping. Where's Big Brother?"

"Half an hour ago, my eldest brother was worried because you hadn't come back yet, so he went to look for you."

"Ah, then I'll go find my big brother."

Xu Sanzhuang hurriedly grabbed them. If they missed each other, the younger sister would look for the older brother, and the older brother would look for the younger sister, and it would go on and on. They all wanted to go back today.

"Little sister, it's good that you're back."

Xu Dazhuang was sweating profusely, and he finally felt relieved when he saw the person.

He had just asked around and no one had seen his younger sister. He was so scared that he thought his younger sister had been abducted by human traffickers. He went to report to the police, but the constable ignored him and even attacked him with a knife.

He thought he would come back first and ask his third brother to go home and call for help while he continued to search in the city. This time he was also too careless and would follow his youngest sister no matter what.

Xu Tao lowered her head in embarrassment. It was indeed wrong of her to do so. Disappearing for two hours would make people anxious.

"The watermelon juice is sold out, let's go back."

“Ah, it’s selling so fast.”

Xu Tao knew that the hot weather was going to make drinks a good deal, but she hadn't expected it to sell so quickly. But then she realized there were signs of improvement. She put ice cubes in the watermelon juice and added sugar to it. A bamboo tube with a straw only cost three cents.

The Xu brothers had no idea what their sister was thinking, and were filled with joy. They sold out their entire cart, earning a hundred or so wen in the afternoon, and were quite content.

"Let's go buy a bullock cart."

"What? Little sister."

"Little sister, we don't have enough money."

With a dazed look on his face, Xu Tao couldn't help but laugh and pulled people towards the livestock market.

"Sir, look at our donkey. It has good teeth and strong limbs. You can take it away for only five ounces."

"Come and see my calf. It's only eight ounces. It's from a cow. When it grows up, it's still young and can give birth to calves. It's a sure win."

......

Xu Sanzhuang secretly pulled the little sister's sleeve and signaled with his eyes.

Xu Tao said softly: "Don't worry, Third Brother, I have money, you and Big Brother can choose carefully."

Xu's parents waited anxiously at the village entrance, regretting not going with their child. They wondered if he'd been bullied by hooligans seeking protection money, or if they'd accidentally offended a noble...

"Dad and Mom, didn't I tell you to wait at home?"

"How can I feel at ease until you guys come back? Hey, whose mule is this?"

"Of course it's ours."

The four people's arrival at the house caused a commotion. Everyone gathered around the mule, and the children jumped and ran around in circles.

Unable to find a suitable cow, Xu Tao thought about moving to the city and decided to buy a mule. Coincidentally, the owner of the mule was in a hurry to sell it and was willing to give him a mule cart.

After Brother Xu checked and found no problems, they bought it for seven taels.

"It's a good buy. A normal, full-grown mule used to pull a mule cart would sell for at least seven or eight taels of silver."

"Watermelon juice only costs three hundred coins at most. Where do you get the money to buy a mule?"

Xu Sanzhuang looked at his younger sister. Isn’t this the money given by mother?

Xu Tao was about to answer when his eldest brother walked in with a grim expression. Without waiting for them to speak, he said, "That man said our cart was late and tired their oxen, so we need to pay him fifty coins."

"Just give it to them. We have mule carts now, so we don't need their carts anymore."

Everyone felt bad about spending the extra twenty cents, as renting an ox cart was equal to half of what they earned today.

You have to know that they spent two days just washing the straws with bamboo tubes, and they also carried back watermelons in baskets, two strong men at a time, just to save ten cents for the bus fare. Buying saltpeter also cost a lot of money, and the adults in the family started working on it at the end of the first hour.

"Don't be sad, Xiaochun, take them to eat buns. They're in the backpack."

Xu Chun nodded obediently. The little ones were very excited to hear that they could eat. Without being urged by the adults, they quickly ran to the eldest sister and waited for their share.

Xu Tao led everyone to her fourth brother's room and generously pulled out a handful of banknotes from her backpack. She hadn't hidden it from her sisters-in-law because, despite the hardships of her previous life, they had never given up on her brothers and children.

"My daughter, you can't do anything stupid." Xu Yong was afraid that his daughter would sell him out.

"Yes, little sister, you should return the money quickly. We are a good family. If you really can't make ends meet, just sell me out."

The father and son had the same train of thought, and Xu Tao's eyes almost rolled to the sky.

Even if she wanted to sell herself, she couldn't get a good price. Is he crazy to spend more than four thousand taels to buy a girl?

"Daughter, have you sold everything in the house?"

Mother is really smart. Xu Tao gave a thumbs up and told her what happened today.

"I was wondering why you had to carry a backpack even when going to the toilet. It turns out you hid something inside. But little sister, next time, just let your third brother do this kind of dangerous work. You're a little girl and you're prone to danger."

"Go away, my daughter is smart and clever. You are being cheated and still counting money. My daughter, next time I will go, I am smart."

"My girl, have you burned the clothes thoroughly? Will people recognize you? Next time, don't be silly and go alone. Bring your mother with you."

Wang Yue was worried that her daughter would be targeted. Although this amount of money was not high enough in the imperial city, it was something that servants would appreciate.

"Don't worry, mother. I've burned the alley thoroughly, and even the ashes have spread to different places."

The sisters-in-law were relieved after hearing this. Although they were happy to have money, the safety of their family was the most important.

After understanding the whole story, everyone was just happy.

With so much silver, I could finally cure my fourth brother's leg. Doctor Xiao had said at the time that he had a fellow apprentice who could cure it. But the other party was extremely greedy and would only pay two thousand taels for the treatment.

It is best to recover within one year of the injury. The longer you delay, the harder it will be to recover.

The first thing the whole family thought of was to get treatment. Xu Sizhuang cried bitterly, saying how lucky he was to have such a good family.

Xu Yong openly said that the remaining money would be given to his daughter, because without his daughter, there would be no such money.
