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

The business here was even more prosperous than Yu Ruyue had initially expected. A total of 36 kilograms were brought in, and they were all sold out in less than an hour.

Shen Jiaojiao's hands were cramping from counting so much.

When she counted the last coin, her jaw dropped with shock.

She was so excited that she was about to speak when Yu Ruyue covered her mouth with her hand, quickly packed up her things, and dragged her to the side through twists and turns.

I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was following me.

"How much did you earn? It makes you so excited."

Shen Jiaojiao stretched out her right hand tremblingly and made an eight gesture, "Ruyue! Eight, eight, eight taels and thirty-six coins..."

"You, pinch me! Is this true?"

Yu Ruyue smiled and patted her head. "Look at you, you look silly. Don't worry, as long as you follow me, you will definitely earn more in the future."

Yu Ruyue took the purse, counted out 100 coins and handed it over.

"Here, this is the wages for the past two days."

"Let's go! I'll take you to eat wontons!"

Shen Jiaojiao looked at the heavy copper coins in her hand and felt as if she was dreaming. She had never seen so many copper coins before, and now they all became hers.

Even if his father and brother combined, they never earned more than 100 copper coins a day!

This can buy 20 kilograms of brown rice!!!

While she was in a daze, Yu Ruyue put all the remaining silver and money into the space, then smiled and pulled her, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Let's go! After we have enough to eat and drink, we have to go to the mountains to pick hawthorns and sour dates."

"Do you want to make money tomorrow?"

When Shen Jiaojiao heard that there was money to be made tomorrow, she immediately said, "I won't eat wontons anymore. Let's go back to the mountains to pick hawthorns and sour dates. Oh, and when I get back, I'm going to show my money at the village entrance and give those gossipers a good slap in the face for saying we couldn't sell anything yesterday."

Yu Ruyue quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't tell anyone! If others find out, we won't be able to pick the fruit."

"Besides, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Only when you eat and drink well can you work better!"

Shen Jiaojiao nodded quickly and promised not to tell anyone.

The two found a small shop and ordered two bowls of wontons.

Shen Jiaojiao smelled the aroma of the wontons and felt her saliva was about to flow. After the wontons were served, she didn't care about the hotness and put them in her mouth quickly!

"Oh my god! This is my first time eating wontons! So delicious!"

Yu Ruyue smiled at the first friend she had made since she came to this world. "Eat slowly! No one's going to snatch it from you. From now on, I'll treat you to wontons in town every day. How about that?"

Shen Jiaojiao quickly shook her head and refused, "A bowl of wontons costs six cents, which is enough to buy a pound of brown rice. You should save it for Brother Shen Chou's medical treatment."

Yu Ruyue thought of Shen Chou, and bought ten meat buns, ten vegetarian buns, and the two bowls of wontons, totaling 52 coins.

Yu Ruyue paid the bill and left, taking Shen Jiaojiao to the grocery store, where she bought three pounds of sugar, three pounds of salt, five pounds of oil, and some miscellaneous seasonings, spending eleven hundred coins.

I also bought some bowls and plates, spending 100 wen.

Then he took Shen Jiaojiao to the ready-made clothing store and bought a piece of sky-blue cotton cloth and a piece of moon-white cotton cloth for Shen Chou, and a piece of light green cotton cloth for himself. The total cost was 1,500 Wen.

When Yu Ruyue finally stepped into the bookstore, Shen Jiaojiao was so scared that she pushed her out.

"We only made eight taels of silver, and you've already spent almost three. How dare you come to the bookstore? Are you crazy?"

Before Yu Ruyue could reply, she heard an exclamation from the side, "Sister!? Why are you here?"

When Shen Jiaojiao heard the familiar voice, she immediately turned around and saw her brother Shen Ruichen and a group of students wearing Qingjin (a general term for ancient school uniforms) and carrying sacks on their shoulders, looking at her curiously. One of the students looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.

"Brother!? Why are you here? Are you here to buy books?"

Shen Ruichen shook his head and explained, "No! My classmates and I are here to copy books, improve our knowledge, and earn some money. What are you doing here? Who's that person standing next to you?"

Shen Jiaojiao then remembered Yu Ruyue who was standing beside her. She turned around nervously and saw that Yu Ruyue didn't even look at her brother. Her eyes were looking at those extremely expensive pens and inks from beginning to end. She suddenly felt that everything before was a misunderstanding.

How could a woman as formidable as Ruyue choose to be attracted to her brother? She must have been severely bullied before, so she thought of her brother and wanted to seek some protection. She didn't expect to be misunderstood by her. She must have been very sad at the time.

Thinking of this, she felt that the 100 copper coins in her arms were getting hotter.

Seeing Yu Ruyue running straight towards the expensive-looking brush, she quickly pulled her in and introduced her, "Brother! This is Yu Ruyue from our village. You should know her!"

“Yu Ruyue!?”

Shen Ruichen looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. She was dressed neatly and had beautiful eyes. She was completely different from the Yu Ruyue in his memory who was so dirty that her original appearance could not be seen.

Yu Ruyue just glanced at Shen Ruichen lightly, said a simple hello, and walked towards the brush again.

Shen Ruichen remembered the identity of the person next to him and couldn't help but shout out, "Yu Ruyue!? Are you really the Shen family's bride for good fortune, Yu Ruyue?"

Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect that her brother would go so far as to reveal Yu Ruyue's identity as a bride in public.

Sure enough, when the people around heard the words "bride for good luck", they looked at Yu Ruyue with contempt.

Yu Ruyue didn't care at all about the looks from the people around her. The man in front of her was the brother of her only good sister, and the one the original owner had almost harmed before. She nodded very good-naturedly and said, "I'm the Yu Ruyue you mentioned. What's the matter?"

Shen Ruichen looked at Yu Ruyue with a complicated expression, then looked at the man next to her with an extremely ugly expression.

"No, nothing..."

Yu Ruyue nodded, and then, taking advantage of Shen Jiaojiao's distraction, she went straight into the bookstore and pointed at the brush and asked, "How much is this?"

Before anyone in the bookshop could say anything, a scholar behind Shen Ruichen said disdainfully, "She's just a maid who's here to get married, and you have the nerve to talk about such a sacred place!"

Another scholar also laughed out loud, "Who said it wasn't? You're just a little maid, and you have the nerve to ask how much it costs? Can you afford it? Just ask?"
