The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

Buying the cow completely solved the delivery problem. Xie Songlin then went to the delivery agency and asked them to help assemble a cart. The new body of the cart was very wide and had reinforced wooden railings, which was more than enough to hold ten buckets of sour plum soup. The driving area in the front was also widened, making it very comfortable to sit in and drive the cart.

Now that I have two cars, it is easier to handle business on both ends.

Xie Songlin said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to set up the stall at the dock tomorrow. I'll let my wife collect the money tomorrow and bring my sister-in-law with her. I'll pay her the same wages."

"Hey, your sister-in-law is just here to help wash the dishes. How can she get two wages? We can just take one wage." Xie Songbai felt a little embarrassed and obviously didn't want to take advantage of this.

Xie Songlin quickly waved his hands and said, "Brother, this won't do. Sister-in-law has contributed a lot to our efforts and we must pay her the wages she deserves. Our business is just starting to pick up, and we will have to rely on you for more support in the future."

Xie Songbai wanted to refuse, but Xie Songlin was firm: "Brother, it's settled. I'll go to my house later to find my second brother. I want him to go with me to deliver the goods tomorrow."

Seeing his brother's firm attitude, Xie Songbai no longer refused. He took the money Xie Songlin paid him today and drove back to the village to return the ox cart.

Xie Songlin and Cheng Hui were not in a hurry to return to the village. Xie Songlin had ridden the ox cart for two days and had learned the skills of driving. He and Cheng Hui sat on both sides, driving the newly bought ox cart steadily, planning to purchase some more things.

First, I bought the ten large wooden barrels that I would need for tomorrow's delivery, then went to the pork shop to chop four pounds of pork ribs, found an empty alley, and moved some of the ingredients in the space out to take home.

When Xie Songlin drove a bullock cart with a load of goods back to the village, he naturally attracted the attention of other villagers. The villagers stopped what they were doing and looked around curiously.

The tall and strong yellow oxen, the brand new ox cart, and the cart full of goods all dazzled their eyes. They were even more surprised when they saw Xie Songlin sitting on the ox cart.

Aunt Yan, a well-known gossipmonger at the village entrance, had always been at odds with Old Lady Shen. Seeing Xie Songlin returning with his new ox cart, her expression suddenly darkened, jealousy and resentment swirling in her heart. Hadn't the fourth son of the Xie family squandered Old Lady Shen's fortune and even sold off his children? How could he suddenly catch up with a new ox cart, hauling so much stuff?

She stood at the door, her eyes fixed on Xie Songlin and his ox cart, and she began to make rumors: "How did Xie Lao Si catch up with the new ox cart? Did he sell his little girl as well?"

Aunt Yan's neighbor's daughter-in-law, Hua Niang, happened to be standing at the door. Hua Niang had a pretty appearance, but her personality was exactly the same as Aunt Yan's. She got along well with Aunt Yan on weekdays. The two of them often got together to gossip about other people's affairs. When she heard Aunt Yan's words, Hua Niang's eyes lit up, as if she had found a new topic.

"Aunt Yan, look at this Xie Laosi, he must have done something shameful again. How can this gambler change just like that?"

"I heard he borrowed an oxcart from the village chief two days ago, saying he was going to the city to do business. That's hilarious! What kind of business can a gambler like him do? Maybe he's using the oxcart to take the remaining boys and girls from his family to the city to sell them."

"I think so too. I haven't seen his boy and girl for several days. I wonder if they were really taken to the city and sold in exchange for this new ox cart." Hua Niang covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised. Her eyes were wide open, as if she was shocked by her "discovery".

As they continued to talk, their words became increasingly abhorrent. Finally, a voice from the side couldn't help but interrupt: "Stop spreading rumors over there, the two of you. Xie Heng and Xiao Xing are staying home well. I just saw them yesterday!"

Everyone turned to look and saw that it was Cui'er, the village chief's niece. Cui'er stood there gracefully, her face full of anger, her bright eyes glaring at Hua Niang and Aunt Yan.

"The Xie family's fourth brother reformed a long time ago. He and my uncle borrowed an ox cart and went to the city to do business. He even made a lot of money. My cousin said that he even redeemed Xie Lan and Xie Lin. He was just staying at home, and you made all these stories!"

Aunt Yan curled her lips, glanced at Cui'er and said, "Hmph, little girl, what do you know? This Xie Lao Si was a notorious gambler in the past, how can he change so easily? Maybe he's just pretending now, and he'll go back to his old ways in a few days."

Hua Niang quickly agreed, "That's right, Cui'er. Don't be fooled by him. He might have obtained this new ox cart through some illicit means. Besides, who knows if the two children are really staying at home? They might be hidden somewhere."

"You just can't stand seeing others do well! Xie's fourth brother has really changed for the better. He's working very hard now. If you keep spreading rumors like this, be careful of retribution!"

Aunt Yan and Hua Niang didn't care at all. Aunt Yan sneered and said, "Cui'er, you are a young girl, and you are so shameless to defend a man here. Are you attracted by that gambler and want to marry him as his concubine?"

Cui'er's face flushed with anger, her voice trembling with anger, tears glistening in her eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

She glared at Aunt Yan and Hua Niang fiercely, bit her lip, turned around and ran back home.

Xie Songlin drove the ox cart to the gate of the yard. The tall and strong yellow ox let out a low moo. The three boys went to Xie Songmu to help make bamboo tube cups. Only Xie Wanxing was at home. She heard the noise and slowly walked out of the house.

"Axing, we have braised pork ribs today." Cheng Hui happily raised the four pounds of pork ribs tied with straw rope in her hand.

"Thank you, Mom. My mom is the best." Xie Wanxing hugged Cheng Hui's thighs obediently, and rubbed her little head gently against Cheng Hui's legs. Ever since she became a child, she seemed to be influenced by a child's mind and loved to act coquettishly.

"Oh my dear girl, you are so cute when you become so small." Cheng Hui was used to seeing Xie Wanxing as an adult, and she thought it was so cute to see her suddenly become a little child. She couldn't help but put down her ribs and picked up Xie Wanxing to give her a good affection.

"I say, you two, mother and daughter, that's enough." Xie Songlin pretended to be helpless. Looking at the looks of the mother and daughter, his heart was warmed. Although they came to this strange dynasty, as long as the family of three could stay together, it was the luckiest thing.

"You guys cook at home. I'll go take these half of the ribs to my mother and tell my second brother about delivering the goods together tomorrow." Xie Songlin pulled the cow into the yard and tied it up. He picked up half of the ribs and prepared to go to Old Lady Shen.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard the noise in the house. He pushed the door open and saw Old Mrs. Shen with a sullen face and her second sister-in-law Liu sitting on the ground and making a scene. She was pulling her daughter Fang Lian and crying and yelling. The sound was sharp and piercing, which made people feel upset.

The eldest and second brothers stood helplessly by, their faces full of fatigue and helplessness, and they seemed to be at a loss as to what to do about the current situation.

"Songlin is here." When Xie Songbai saw Xie Songlin, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope and hurriedly greeted him, as if he had found a life-saving straw in this chaotic situation.

Liu stopped crying and stood up from the ground.
