"Aunt, I'm panicking."

Zhou Xipo looked at Zhou Wei and felt dissatisfied. Her niece was pretty, but she was too impatient.

But if you think about it, it is normal to panic.

After dealing with Song Shilan for so many years, she has a better understanding of her personality. She is very impetuous.

Whenever I encounter something, I basically do it in one go instead of dragging my feet.

Why would she be so hesitant when it comes to her son's marriage?

No, the more I think about it, the more restless I become.

"Aunt~"

Mrs. Zhou Xi frowned and said, "Okay, okay, stop yelling. I get it."

Zhou Wei looked at Zhou Xipo's expression and felt impatient. After all, she was old and had lost all her courage. Why would she hesitate over such a small matter?

As long as she likes it, she can just grab it, right?

She will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal.

"Otherwise, just do as I say."

Zhou Xipo thought of Zhou Wei's method and said, "Let me think about it again."

"Aunt, what are you still hesitating about?"

Zhou Xipo cursed in her heart. This person was using her name to do disgusting things, which would ruin her reputation.

"I'll give you fifty of the betrothal money. When the New Year comes, I'll treat you like my own mother..."

Zhou Wei's words, using threats and inducements, were like the whispers of Medusa.

~

When we arrived at the county town, the people in the car dispersed and agreed to meet at the county entrance at 2 pm.

Hongguo ran happily following Wen Ran.

There were whispers behind me.

"Oh, I don't know what this young educated youth is thinking. He picked up a little girl from the mountains and treated her like a treasure."

The old lady was wearing a tattered jacket and said sourly, "Look at that dress! Even our Baozhu can't wear it."

"That's right, a woman with such big hands will definitely be beaten black and blue by men when she gets married. She doesn't know how to live a normal life at all. Tsk tsk tsk, whoever marries her will be unlucky for the rest of their lives!"

Wen Ran, who was walking in front: “?”

No, old lady.

You are such a chatterbox!

Wen Ran stopped, turned his head, and grinned at everyone.

The chatterbox lady: “?”

Ouch, my goodness!

They were talking so quietly, how could you hear that?

Thinking of Wen Ran's ferocity and strength, he was suddenly a little shocked. People come and go, so he wouldn't beat anyone, right?

what?

"You old chatterbox!" Wen Ran's voice was loud and crisp, quite pleasant to the ear, just like an oriole emerging from a valley.

What he said was very rude.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I don't know who will get bruised and blue, but some people might get bruised here and there!"

The old woman is scared and doesn't dare to say a word.

Wen Ran took Hongguo with him and, after asking around, found his way to the scrap yard. On the way, he also saw a man selling honey chestnuts.

Carrying a small basket, he was stealthily soliciting customers.

Wen Ran smelled the sweet taste and bought it all immediately.

The two sisters ate and went to the scrap yard to bribe the gatekeeper with one dime, but the gatekeeper didn't even bat an eyelid.

"Uncle?" Wen Ran was undecided and wondered if he thought the money he gave was too little.

"Um, my sister and I wanted to get some newspapers to paste on the windows."

The old man raised his eyelids and said slowly, "You are not sincere!"

Wen Ran: “?”

Even a dime is not sincere enough?

An egg costs one-third, which is enough to buy three eggs.

He sniffed and cleared his throat. "What's that smell? It's strangely sweet."

Wen Ran: “…”

I told you earlier.

She took out a handful of honey chestnuts and handed them to the old man, "We want to..."

The old man replied immediately, "Just exchange it for something else, of course. Touch what you should touch, and don't touch what you shouldn't touch. Don't take anything carelessly."

"got it."

Many people came here to shop for Taobao before, all of them using the excuse of exchanging newspapers. The old man thought that the two little sisters had the same purpose.

While crunching the chestnuts, he stretched his neck and looked around like a wild goose.

It turned out that the two sisters were really just exchanging newspapers, and my curiosity disappeared instantly.

Forget it, eat chestnuts.

Oh my god, it’s so delicious.

"sister?"

Hong Guo looked excited and lowered her voice, "This is a medical book!"

The scrap yard is really as its name suggests, with broken things everywhere. Books, wood, and some broken things are piled up in different categories, which can barely be called a chaotic but orderly place.

Wen Ran rummaged around for a long time before finding a stack of clean newspapers. Just as he put them away, he heard Hong Guo's excited voice.

She looked up and saw that the medical book was in tatters. The first two pages of the preface were missing and even stained with mud.

This thing is not valuable, but you are not allowed to look at it right now.

Wen Ran said calmly, "Give it to me."

Hong Guo held the medical book in her hand. She was excited but also hesitant. "Sister, how about we just forget it?"

There are already a lot of books now, and she was afraid of causing trouble for her sister if she took this kind of thing out.

What if the uncle at the door finds out...

"Tsk," Wen Ran raised an eyebrow, "Hurry up."

"No," Hong Guo shook her head, "I don't want it."

"Hiss~ You kid, why are you so stubborn?" Wen Ran felt satisfied in his heart, but he scolded her, "Just give it to me if I tell you to. Hurry up."

Meeting Wen Ran's calm eyes, Hong Guo's heart settled.

Who knows, maybe her sister is really that powerful?

Wen Ran naturally had a way to avoid being discovered. While Hong Guo was not paying attention, he threw the medical book directly into the space.

Then I searched again and took away anything related to medical books.

I'll give it to Hongguo when I have the chance.

After collecting a pile of newspapers and also picking out some books, Hongguo carefully flattened the pages and put them away. This took him half an hour.

The old man at the door strolled over with his hands behind his back, "Hasn't it been cleaned up yet?"

Wen Ran looked at the chestnut crumbs at the corner of his mouth and suspected that he had finished eating them and was asking for chestnuts again in disguise.

After a long silence, he said, "Well, I still have a handful in my pocket. Do you want to eat more?"

Uncle: “…I’m not that greedy.”

"Don't eat?"

"Well, some more?"

The old man who got the chestnuts ran to the door happily and cracked the shells, eating one by one. They were so delicious!

Hongguo wiped the sweat off his forehead and was just about to tell Wen Ran that it was almost done.

He stood up, turned around, and fell flat on his face with a yell.

Wen Ran grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and asked, "What are you doing?"

Hongguo blinked, feeling guilty and innocent, "I tripped over something."

Let Hongguo stand still, and Wen Ran pulled out the thing that tripped Hongguo.

A dusty shelf supporting the washbasin.

only……

When I weighed it, I realized the size was not right.

Wen Ran suddenly thought of those people who like to shop at scrap yards. His eyes flickered. The old man had already rushed in anxiously, "What's going on?"

"What's going on?" Wen Ran said, his expression unchanged, dragging his arms and complaining, "Uncle, please put these things in order. They're a mess. Look, my sister dropped them.

I almost fell down like a fool!"

The old man chuckled and felt quite embarrassed.
