The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Yu Ruyue sorted out the whole story while she was sobbing, and her heart suddenly felt warm and hot. How could this silly girl be so nice?

"You fool! We've only known each other for a few days, why are you arguing with your brother because of me?"

Shen Jiaojiao cried and said, "We've only known each other for a few days, but you're still my sister, Shen Jiaojiao. You're so nice! Not only did you give me fish soup, sweet soup, and chicken legs, I won't allow anyone to say anything bad about you."

Good heavens, Yu Ruyue finally understood why Shen Chengye was worried. This girl was indeed someone who could be tricked away with just a little food!

"Okay! Okay! Stop crying! I'll treat you to wontons when we get to town!"

When Shen Jiaojiao heard there were wontons, she stopped crying immediately, "You, are you serious? There are wontons?"

"Really! Really! Don't worry! Not only will we have wontons, but we'll also give you meat buns."

Shen Jiaojiao wiped her tears and said, "You're so poor that you're peeing blood, yet you still try to coax me like this. Forget it, you're so kind, and it's worth it for me to argue with my elder brother for you. It's a pity that I didn't get the scale."

Yu Ruyue rubbed her head and didn't say anything.

On the way, everyone in the carriage stared at the backpack that Ruyue was holding, their eyes almost wanting to drill into it, but because of Yu Ruyue's reputation as a little lunatic, no one dared to speak to her.

When they arrived in the town, Yu Ruyue took Shen Jiaojiao to buy a scale, and then took the things to the prosperous area east of Lu County.

The two of them briefly learned about the stall rules here, then paid three cents, found a relatively good location, put the prepared wooden board directly on the ground, and then neatly placed the hawthorn cakes and sour jujube cakes that they had cut last night on the board, and then started shouting.

"Don't miss it if you pass by, the hawthorn cake and sour jujube cake are free to try!"

"If anyone at home has a weak spleen and stomach and can't eat, try this hawthorn cake. If anyone has trouble sleeping at night, buy some of this sour jujube cake. It's guaranteed to be effective and delicious!"

“Free tasting, free tasting!”

"You can't buy it and suffer a loss, you can't buy it and you can't be fooled."

Yu Ruyue's novel shouting soon attracted a large group of people, who gathered in front of the small stall.

An old woman with white hair and beard asked uncertainly, "Old woman, did I hear you correctly? You said this little cake can cure insomnia? I'm afraid you're kidding, aren't you?"

Yu Ruyue immediately smiled and picked up a small bamboo fork, picked up a small piece of sour jujube cake and handed it over. "Grandma! If you don't believe me, you can go to the pharmacy and ask. Our sour jujube grows on the highest hill in the mountains. Not to mention that it is a medicinal herb for treating insomnia, it is a thousand-year-old tree that has been absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon on the mountaintop all year round. Eating a bite of it will definitely not harm your body."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect that Yu Ruyue could be so good at fooling people. That was clearly a wild tree that could be seen everywhere in the mountains!

It was the first time she had seen someone lie so blatantly. She nervously clutched the corner of her clothes, ready to grab the person next to her and run away after being exposed.

As a result, as soon as the old woman put the sour jujube cake into her mouth, her cloudy eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't help but close her eyes and savor it carefully.

This sour jujube cake is sweet and soft. After swallowing it down my throat, my head, which has been feeling dizzy for years, feels a little clearer!

Is this the magic of the thousand-year-old tree absorbing the essence of day and night?

Seeing the old woman's reaction, the people around her also picked up the bamboo forks beside them and began to taste the food carefully.

Whether it is sour jujube cake or hawthorn cake, both are moderately sweet and sour, and very soft and sticky. Just take a sip and they go into your mouth. Even an old man without teeth can eat them.

And they don’t know if it’s an illusion, but they always feel that after eating this, they feel comfortable all over. If they eat it frequently, they may be able to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon!

The old woman who tasted the sour jujube cake first wanted to try a piece of hawthorn cake, but when she opened her eyes, she found that the tasting area was empty and the people around her had a look of nostalgia on their faces.

She lived in the east of the city. Although she was not a high-ranking official, she was not poor either, so she could still afford to buy a few cakes.

"Little girl, how do you sell these cakes?"

Yu Ruyue had already inquired about it. In that era, the technology for extracting white sugar was not yet mature, so sugar was even more expensive than salt, costing 160 wen per jin. If she had used that money to buy brown rice, she could have bought 32 jin. Even if she had bought polished rice, she could have bought almost jin! So, most people couldn't afford sugar at all!

The price of hawthorn and artificial spiritual spring water is 200 wen per pound, which is not too high.

According to the calculation of 16 taels per catty in this era, one tael is 12.5 wen. With the bonus of mythological stories, 14 wen is not expensive.

However, she didn't directly reply with the price. Instead, she emphasized the value of the cakes. "Grandma! These hawthorn and jujube cakes were transported down from the highest slope of the mountain. The journey was extremely dangerous and difficult. Moreover, there are only a few trees growing on the top of the mountain, and they contain a lot of sugar. Needless to say, their efficacy is very good."

“The price is correspondingly more expensive.”

The old lady immediately waved her hand nonchalantly. "Little girl, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now. Even if it's expensive, how much can it be? Is it more expensive than the medicine I take every day? As long as it can help me sleep at night, I'll buy it no matter the price."

Yu Ruyue immediately replied with a smile, "Grandma is truly noble and generous. How about this! The original price should be 16 wen per tael, but today I'll sell it to you for 14 wen!"

Damn it!

When Shen Jiaojiao heard the price, she was so shocked that she almost fainted.

Fourteen coins!? One ounce!?

It’s almost enough to buy three pounds of brown rice, which is enough for the whole family to eat for several meals if they save it!

Just when she thought these city dwellers would burst into tears when they heard the price, the old lady in the lead waved her hand and said generously, "Give me two taels of each."

Yu Ruyue quickly calculated the price and said with a smile, "Fair price, 56 wen!"

"Jiaojiao! Take the money!"

Shen Jiaojiao, who was called out by name, immediately took the copper coins and began checking them one by one. Yu Ruyue swiftly weighed and packed the copper coins and silver ingots, explaining with a smile, "I'm your little sister, and this is her first time out in the world. I'm afraid I'll take the wrong amount. Please forgive me for the jokes."

An elder who liked to tease Xiao Bei immediately said, "Little girl, you must count carefully. If you collect less, don't cry on the way."

Shen Jiaojiao's face turned even redder, and she counted the money more seriously, causing everyone to laugh.

The scene was very lively, and more and more people gathered at Yu Ruyue's stall and began to line up to buy.

Yu Ruyue and Shen Jiaojiao were so busy that they didn't notice the crowd. A pair of extremely vicious eyes stared at Yu Ruyue, cursing non-stop...
