An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

While packing the seeds into bags, the plump proprietress dug out a few more seeds from the corner and said to Jing Chunxi and Jing Changning in a flattering tone, "Sir, come back and buy whatever you want to plant next year. I have a complete range of varieties. These are seeds from the Western Regions. I'm giving some to you free of charge. Try planting them and see if they grow. Maybe they'll be good!"

"Thank you, boss lady."

Jing Chunxi was naturally happy to get a few small bags of unnamed seeds for free. After all, the rarer the seeds, the more valuable they might be in the future.

He put all the vegetable seeds into the cloth bag, which was not too heavy. Jing Changning picked it up and was about to leave, but suddenly he saw a familiar figure at the corner of the street. However, the figure flashed past him and he saw it clearly, then turned into the dark alley next to him.

He quickly turned around and said to Jing Chunxi, "I think I saw Zhou Wei. I have to go check him out. Sister Xi, don't run around. Just stay in this seed shop and wait for your uncle to come back."

Jing Chunxi looked over but didn't see anyone. However, she knew her uncle wouldn't say anything nonsense, and she also knew that the people arranged by Uncle Zhou Wei must be not far away from them. She shook her head and patted her chest to assure them, "Third Uncle, I won't run around. I'll just buy some more vegetable seedlings here, and the vegetables and radishes will be bought nearby. I won't go anywhere and won't get lost."

Then she told her uncle about the mineral vein in Cangwu County in Lingnan that she had mentioned to Zhou Wei. Uncle Zhou Wei alone was still a little worried about Jing Chunxi. What if he forgot or didn't understand what she meant? It would be terrible if he missed it. With so many people coming to Lingnan, they couldn't do without a way to make a living. There would be many places to spend money in the capital and Lingnan in the future!

Jing Chunxi still claimed that she had gotten the news from her aunt, the Fairy Goddess. Although the opportunity to see an old friend was rare, Jing Chunxi didn't want to follow her uncle to meet Zhou Wei. Time was short, and she had her own things to do. Moreover, if she told others about the mineral vein, she was sure that her third uncle and Uncle Zhou Wei would discuss and arrange it. Such news would surely reach her eldest uncle quickly. If this mineral vein with a high gold content was in the hands of their Jing family, even if they could never return to the capital, they could still become local tycoons in Lingnan.

Now, during their exile, the most important thing was their safety. The calmer the situation ahead, the greater the danger behind. Third Uncle must have realized this and would naturally make careful arrangements. My lack of knowledge would only be a burden, and might even delay their discussions.

Jing Changning didn't question the authenticity of the mineral vein. Everything that had happened before the house raid, along with what Jing Chunxi had just brought out, had already convinced him that ghosts, gods, and other mystical things truly existed in this world. He simply took note, then turned back to speak to the owner of the seed shop, before entrusting Jing Chunxi to her and asking him to be careful before leaving.

"Your uncle is really nice. He is very careful in his work and doesn't look like a farmer at all." The proprietress turned around and said to Jing Chunxi with a smile. Judging from their clothes, they were just ordinary people with a better life, and she didn't think much of it.

Jing Chunxi agreed: "Yeah, uncle is the best." Her three uncles and everyone in her maternal family were very good, otherwise she would not have been exiled with them. If they were also heartless, she and her mother and brother would have avoided them long ago.

Seeing her staring outside, the lady boss told her, "Buy whatever you want. It's best if it's not too far from my shop. If you don't understand something, it won't hurt to walk a few steps over and ask. My shop isn't busy right now, so leave the vegetables here. I'll help you look after them. I'm very familiar with the people setting up stalls nearby, so feel free to choose. I won't rip you off."

The proprietress finished speaking and moved a stool to sit at the door, so she could see the vendors on both sides of the door. This made Jing Chunxi feel a lot more at ease. In this day and age, there are many beggars who want to kidnap girls. Besides, her uncle had gently wiped the dust off her face before she left, so it was no longer so ugly. It was inevitable that bad people would have the intention to steal, but with the proprietress watching over her, it was like having an elder watching over her, and bad people would be more cautious.

There were several women setting up stalls in front of the seed store, and their stalls were full of vegetable seedlings. When Jing Chunxi asked, he was told that he could get a bunch of 20 to 30 plants for two or three cents. The roots were wrapped tightly with large leaves to keep the soil moist. These vegetables were suitable for planting in this season.

The proprietress also smiled and nodded at her: "These aunties sell at this price every day. The price is very fair. Just choose what you want. If you don't know how to calculate the money, come and find the aunt."

Hearing what the boss lady said, Jin Chunxi became a lot bolder.

"Grandma, I want all your vegetable seedlings. Could you help me load them to the mule cart at the intersection?"

Jing Chunxi acted pitifully and pointed at the mule cart not far away.

If the boss lady hadn't said hello, the old women would have thought the little girl was joking. How could a child of such a young age come over and say she would take over all their business?

But seeing that she was very serious and didn't pick and choose, nor did she bargain, she counted out the copper coins for each of them after agreeing on the price, and even gave them a copper coin or two more. How could the maids not be happy? After receiving the money, they didn't need Jing Chunxi to lead the way. Several of them directly helped Jing Chunxi carry the vegetables in the basket to the mule cart, and kept saying compliments that were difficult to understand, praising Jing Chunxi all the way.

Jing Chunxi naturally had to follow. She was worried that Xiao Sanzi would not be able to sit still, so she helped her move the vegetable seedlings into the carriage. This way, the extra things inside would be exposed. Fortunately, the mule cart was not far away, and it was only a few dozen steps to go back and forth. She asked the maids to move the vegetable seedlings into the carriage, and she turned around and put them directly into the space.

Following the same method, Jing Chunxi bought another twenty radishes and more than ten bags of cabbage. Seeing that he had collected another basket of potatoes, he sent them all over. This time, they were stacked directly in the middle of the carriage. They were all going to be eaten in the next few days. In this season, the cabbages and radishes would at most wilt a little if left, but they would not go bad.

Seeing how generous the little girl was in buying things, several aunties followed her and handed over the remaining radishes and spinach in her basket. Jing Chunxi saw that the quantity was not too much, so he was happy to be a good person and accepted them directly.

After buying so many things and returning to the seed shop, her third uncle had not returned yet, and she lost interest in continuing to shop. She was young and not very strong, and she was worried that she would be caught by beetles if she walked too far. She could only sit directly in the mule cart and wait. Before leaving, she did not forget to say hello to the proprietress, took the vegetable seeds, and asked the proprietress to tell her uncle that she had returned to the cart.
