After thinking about it, she changed her perspective and advised, "Second Aunt, if you buy more now, if the price of food goes up in the future, you can still make some money by selling it, right?"

Hearing this, Wu Hong was obviously moved.

Xie Dafang also reacted and couldn't help but say: "Mom, Linghe sister is right, this is a good opportunity to make money~"

Wu Hong also made up her mind: "Okay, then I'll buy some more too."

Xie Dafang: "Mom, how much silver did you bring?"

Wu Hong glanced at him and lowered her voice: "What are you doing this for? It's not much, just five taels of silver."

Xie Dafang: "Mom, use the five taels to buy food."

Wu Hong couldn't make up her mind: "This..."

Xie Dafang urged: "Mom, don't hesitate."

Finally, Wu Hong nodded, "...Okay."

At this time.

The waiter came out and asked Xie Linghe, "Do you have a car?"

Xie Linghe: "There's an ox cart."

"Okay, you can park the ox cart at the back door and move the grain from there."

"Ok."

"Little Brother, let's add another five taels of rice."

"Another five taels?"

The second brother was stunned again, but didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, no problem."

"Go wait at the back door."

……

The back door of the grain shop.

The ox cart stopped at the steps at the door, and two waiters carried out bags of rice and placed them on the cart.

One bag weighs one hundred kilograms.

There are thirty-one bags of rice in total.

The waiter who greeted us at the beginning smiled and said, "Twelve taels of silver can buy three thousand and eighty-six catties of rice. The shopkeeper said that since you are a big customer, he gave you a dozen catties more, making it an even number, three thousand and one hundred catties."

"You guys order some goods and see if they are correct."

Xie Linghe was not embarrassed. He patiently checked each one and said, "That's right."

She immediately took out the silver and said, "This is twelve taels of silver."

While the rice was being loaded onto the truck, Wu Hong had already given her five taels of silver and asked her to pay the bill together.

The waiter took out a scale, put the silver on it to weigh it, and nodded: "Yes, it's twelve taels."

The money and goods are both settled.

Xie Linghe and others got on the carriage and left.

The waiter greeted him warmly: "Take care, guest. Welcome to come again next time."

……

The back door of the grain shop is a small alley.

Several people planned to go to the market to buy some meat.

Walking out of the alley, Xie Linghe glanced around and saw a familiar figure.

Her pupils shrank, and she said word by word in her heart: Thank you! Ling! Di!

That's right.

This person is the heroine.

Before she could react, Xie Lingdi had already turned and disappeared in front of her.

Xie Linghe withdrew his gaze, his face thoughtful.

Just now, there was a young man next to Xie Lingdi. The man was eight feet tall, handsome, and wore a green robe. He always had a smile on his face that made people feel like spring breeze, and he always had a fan in his hand.

Various characteristics.

Xie Linghe immediately identified himself with someone: Murong Qing.

The second male lead in the book.

He was originally a bastard son of a wealthy merchant family. He was framed by his stepmother and lost his father's favor, so he was demoted to Chunde County to be in charge of business. Xie Lingdi first sold recipes in the store under his name, and the two met each other there and got to know each other through their visits.

Murong Qing admired Xie Lingdi very much and fell in love with her over time. Later, when he found out that she liked the male protagonist Xiao Qiye, he never expressed his feelings, but silently protected her.

This is a sentimental second male lead.

It's quite popular in the book.

After all, the male lead belongs to the female lead, and the second male lead belongs to the reader.

but.

Xie Linghe didn't like him.

Perhaps, she was prejudiced against this book. When she first read it, she felt that Murong Qing was not as simple as he seemed.

He said he loved the heroine deeply, but that would not prevent him from getting married and having children.

The wife bears some resemblance to the heroine, and the book explains that she is a stand-in.

However, that woman was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family and had a noble status, and it was Murong Qing who took the initiative to pursue her.

The heroine is not dead yet!

How could Murong Qing, a loving second male lead who is deeply in love with the female lead, take the initiative to pursue another woman?

This is illogical.

But, maybe this is a bug in the book and the author didn't think too much about it.

but.

What if?

If Murong Qing is not as affectionate as he seems, and Xie Lingdi does bad things to her family again, she can take advantage of it.

Just as Xie Linghe's thoughts were swirling, Xie Zhongji's voice woke her up: "Sister, the candied haws seller is just up ahead."

She came back to her senses and subconsciously asked, "Where?"

Xie Zhongji pointed: "Where."

Xie Linghe looked in the direction of his finger and saw a middle-aged man standing on the street carrying dozens of strings of candied haws.

"walk over."

As they got closer, Xie Linghe said, "I'd like a bunch of candied haws to take away. How much?"

The man smiled and quickly took out a bunch of big, red candied haws, wrapped them in oil paper and handed them over: "5 cents."

Xie Linghe didn't bring any copper coins, so he gave a penny of silver.

The peddler gave him ninety-five coins in change.

Xie Linghe took it, a big handful, so heavy, she couldn't help but sigh, regretting in her heart: If she had known earlier, she should have brought some copper coins. She had no experience, no experience. She must learn from the lesson and remember it next time.

Finished buying.

Continue walking down the street.

Wu Hong laughed and teased: "He Jie'er, these candied haws are loved by children. I didn't expect you to like them too~"

Xie Linghe explained: "Second Aunt, I bought it for Xiao Ai."

Wu Hong was totally surprised and her eyes widened in surprise: "Xiao Ai?!"

The two families have a good relationship.

She knew very well that this family's attitude towards Xie Lingai was, if not extreme disgust, then disregard and impatience. Why would Xie Linghe suddenly buy her candied haws?

The sun is rising from the west.

Wu Hong couldn't help but look up at the sun. There was nothing wrong with it. It was still rising from the east.

that……

Could it be that he and his sister came back from the brink of death and figured it out?

Wu Hong couldn't think of an answer.

But she knew that this was a good thing for Xie Lingai, and that was enough.

So, she suppressed her surprised expression and said with a smile: "That's good. My little love is small, so he must like eating candied haws."

Xie Linghe smiled: "Yes~"

Jerky.

Xie Linghe and Second Aunt each bought some pork belly and seasonings. It was almost noon now.

Xie Linghe suggested having a meal before going home.

Wu Hong firmly disagreed.

She didn't force it, and the group went back home.

It was Chenshi when I went out.

It was already noon when I got back.

Near the fork in the road at the village entrance, Xie Linghe called out to Xie Dafang: "Dafang, go left and go back home from the back. Try not to let the villagers see us."

Xie Dafang nodded: "Okay."

In order not to alert others, the four of them secretly moved the food into the house.

Finished.

Xie Linghe was breathing heavily.

The three Xie Zhongji brothers were also extremely tired.

Xie Lingai surrounded Xie Linghe with concern and handed her a bowl of hot water: "Sister, have a drink of water."

Xie Linghe felt warm in his heart: "Thank you, Xiaoai."

Xie Lingai smiled shyly: "You're welcome."

At this moment, Xie Zhongji's voice suddenly rang out: "Xie Ling'ai, pour me a glass of water."

Xie Lingai was startled and nodded quickly: "Oh, okay."

Xie Zhongji's satisfied smile didn't last for a second before he saw his elder sister's cold expression. He suddenly reacted and his smile disappeared.
