Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

The silver and other things were actually all on Hu. She was pregnant, and she only had a dozen or so taels of silver in total, so it was impossible to tell where they were hidden.

The ten taels that the senior sister earned from selling prescriptions were always kept in a bamboo water bottle that she always carried with her.

The county magistrate searched in vain, and after hearing Liao Dianshi's report that the Shen family had found nothing, he said, "Then let Shen Huai leave quickly, and tell him to stay at home and not go out."

"Yes."

"Wait a minute."

"What else do you want, County Master?"

"Well...his son is still young, right?"

"Yes, I will pass on the message."

Then, after receiving these words from the county magistrate, Shen Huai's eyes became dangerous.

He took the initiative to let his son postpone the county examination for one or two years, which was completely different from being forced by others.

Liao Dianshi couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was just a messenger.

"Uncle, it's already noon, it's time to boil aunt's medicine." Shen Lingzhu spoke when her senior sister glanced at him.

Upon hearing this, Liao Dianshi coughed lightly and said, "The county government can provide the fire."

"No need." Shen Huai took a step forward, and several people who had been prepared followed him.

When the driver saw the family coming out, he immediately drove over to pick them up and told his employer that the number of baskets he had put back on the cart was correct.

Shen Lingzhu chose to sit in the back car where things were stored. The first thing she did was to open a few baskets and look inside. Then she gritted her teeth and was about to say something, but was held down by her senior sister.

But she forgot about Shen Xianzhu. He opened two baskets in a row, but they were both empty. The millet in the third one was completely spilled. "What a bunch of bastards!"

"Brother, these are just some small things." Shen Miaozhu asked the driver to start the mule cart quickly.

After turning off the street, she looked at the two dejected siblings, then at the couple sitting in the car ahead, facing each other in silence, and couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Aren't you hungry?"

“I’m hungry, but half the pot of oil and the rice pot are gone, and there’s a lot of dirt in the rice.

They must have fallen to the ground and looked through it." The jars and pots hadn't been put back at all, and even a few wooden bowls had been scraped. Only the small iron pot and the medicine pot were intact.

As the saying goes, a broken home is worth a fortune, and buying these belongings is more money. Shen Lingzhu is not willing to go home after eating dry food for a day.

It just so happened that Uncle Shen Huai also felt sorry for his wife and children, so he took them to a private room in an old restaurant in the county town and had a meal.

He did not neglect the two coachmen and ordered food for them in the lobby.

Smoked spare ribs, seared river fish, cold shredded vegetables, braised pork, browned tofu, bone balls, beef pancakes, and noodles with soybean paste.

After the waiter served the dishes and the fruit wine, he left. Shen Lingzhu could no longer hold back and took a deep breath: "It smells so good."

"Then eat more." Shen Huai picked up a whole big meatball for her. Xiao Zhuzi was the smallest, but he contributed the most effort.

Whenever he thought of the child shouting at the top of his lungs in the market to exchange for some rice and flour, he felt extremely guilty.

There were four meatballs in a plate, so she would not eat them all by herself. She turned around and put them in her aunt's bowl.

Hu split it in two with her, and gave the other half to her eldest niece Miaozhu.

Shen Xianzhu looked at his empty bowl and sighed that the Shen family's daughter was a treasure, but the son was like weed.

But the first piece of meat he picked up with chopsticks was put into his mother's bowl.

This meal was the most sumptuous one Shen Lingzhu had eaten since arriving in this world. He hardly said a word the entire time and ate with relish.

Their family must have been short of oil and water recently, and they almost finished all the food on the table.

Originally, Shen Lingzhu was still hesitating whether to pack up the last few pieces of meat, but when she heard her uncle asking her aunt for two taels of silver to pay the bill, she decided to pack up.

Mrs. Hu felt sorry for her and wanted to buy her another portion of smoked meat.

"No, no, how can we eat meat every meal? And it won't keep well in such hot weather.

Aunt, let's find a place to rest at noon so I can boil some medicine for you." Shen Lingzhu immediately diverted her attention.

Shen Xianzhu said: "Grandfather's cousin lives in the north of the city..."

Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Hu interrupted him and said, "Don't bother them."

Is it the one we met at the cloth shop? Shen Lingzhu glanced at her senior sister.

Shen Miaozhu pretended not to notice her little action and said, "When I came here, I saw an inn across the street. Why don't we ask the two drivers to rent two guest rooms?"

"Second sister, this is a good idea." Shen Xianzhu was the first to agree, and raised Shen Lingzhu's hand, "Mom, look, Xiao Zhuzi is tired too. She won't grow tall if she doesn't sleep enough."

"Hmph!" Shen Lingzhu pulled her hand away. "Aunt, my brother is bullying me again."

"I don't have any."

"You have."

"No."

"Yes, you said I couldn't grow tall."

"..."

When Shen Huai came in, he saw the children playing around his wife. He couldn't help but feel relieved, and then told them that he had booked an inn so that they could rest up at noon.

"Will you let us stay at this inn?" Shen Lingzhu cheered but also asked a question.

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Your uncle is a Jinshi and is quite influential in Shun County.

Did you notice that when we entered this store, it was the owner who personally greeted us? "

It’s true. It turns out that my uncle doesn’t need any proof in his hometown county. He just needs to scan his face.

Sure enough, whether he left the old restaurant or checked into the inn, the owner personally greeted and saw him off.

Unfortunately, when buying things, my uncle refused to use facial recognition.

Shen Lingzhu thought that this feeling of comfort would last until they got home, but she never expected that after thirty miles, a river would strand them on the shore.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Shen Huai discussed with his family: "The bridge collapsed and we can only take a boat, but there are no large boats here to transport mule carts.

If you want to continue by car, you will have to go around for more than 20 miles. Which way do you choose?"

"Take a boat, and then find someone to rent a car after crossing the river." Shen Xianzhu thought this was the fastest way.

Shen Lingzhu said she didn't remember the way, let alone the road conditions, so she had to listen to whoever told her what to do.

Her words made everyone laugh for a while.

"Miaozhu, you should remember the way." Shen Huai asked his eldest niece again.

Shen Miaozhu said: "My first choice is to stay at a nearby family's house and ask about the situation on the other side of the river.

There are still puddles in some places on the river bank, probably caused by the impact of the river water.

During the summer flood season, it is impossible to predict the road conditions on the other side or after taking the detour."

"This is the advice of an experienced and prudent person, so let's do it accordingly.

Xianzhu, go to the village behind and stay overnight." Recently, Shen Huai has repeatedly told his wife privately how great it would be if his eldest niece were his nephew.

Although she spoke little, her words always hit the nail on the head. Both her brothers and sisters were unconsciously following her instructions.

Compared to her, her son is more like a younger brother and needs more exercise.

Shen Xianzhu had no idea what his father was thinking. Like a soldier who had received an important mission, he went to a village two miles away to stay overnight.

Shen Lingzhu thought that asking for a place to stay was such a small matter that anyone could do it as long as they paid money.

But when the mule cart was about to reach the village entrance, his eldest brother ran out chased by a large group of geese, followed by a bunch of noisy little kids.

"Quack quack!"

"Go away, go away!"

"Hahaha……"

"Dad, Mom, help, drive them away quickly..."

Shen Lingzhu wanted to laugh, but she held it back and taught Shen Xianzhu, "Brother, climb the tree."

"I can't." Shen Xianzhu wanted to cry but had no tears, and he had to run desperately.

Shen Lingzhu made trumpet shapes with his hands and shouted, "Brother, don't look back and keep running. We will rescue you soon."
