In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Perhaps feeling that this topic was too awkward, Su Zhizhi quickly changed the subject and said, "I didn't make any money today, only compensation."

Xie Chengjin frowned upon hearing this and quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Because the vegetables at our stall are of good quality and low price, most people come to our stall to sell vegetables, and the business of other vendors is not so good."

"Out of jealousy of our stall and seeing that I was the only woman selling it this morning without you, some of the surrounding vendors ganged up on it and smashed it up. They even bribed the yamen runners to bully me together, but then we happened to run into Miss Liu, and she came to my rescue and made those who smashed my stall apologize to me."

Su Zhizhi told Xie Chengjin everything that happened in the morning.

Xie Chengjin frowned after hearing this, and was extremely angry. "Damn it! These bullies who only care about the weak and the strong actually bullied you when I was away. I want to go to the market with you to sell things from now on. I wonder if they dare to bully you again."

"Okay." Su Zhizhi nodded obediently after hearing this. The power gap between men and women was huge, and the other party had more people and more power, so it was the best choice for Xie Chengjin to go to the stall with her, and she had no reason to refuse.

in the afternoon.

Su Zhizhi came to the vegetable garden and found that the fruits she had planted in the vegetable garden a few days ago had already matured. She picked a few watermelons and tasted them, and found that the watermelons were not only juicy but also very sweet.

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi smiled with satisfaction. She immediately called everyone to pick fruits with her so that she could sell them at the market the next day.

After doing all this, Su Zhizhi took a few big watermelons to give to her neighbors. After all, she had to borrow her neighbor's donkey cart to sell watermelons at the market tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Zhizhi entered the neighbor's house, she saw Aunt Zhao standing in the yard with a sad face.

"What's wrong? Aunt Zhao, did something happen?" Su Zhizhi asked hurriedly.

"Zhizhi, you came at the right time. I don't know how our donkey's leg was broken by that stupid person last night." Aunt Zhao couldn't help but complain to Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi frowned immediately upon hearing this. "Who's so foolish? How about this! Aunt Zhao, don't worry. I still have some medicine left for the donkey's injuries. I'll bring it to you later!"

Aunt Zhao smiled brightly when she heard this. "Really? Thank you."

Aunt Zhao held Su Zhizhi's hand and said with great emotion.

"It's okay, it's okay. These are the watermelons I just planted in my field not long ago. I specially picked a few big ones for you to try." Su Zhizhi said to Aunt Zhao with a smile.

"Okay, okay, the girl is thoughtful." Aunt Zhao said happily.

"Okay, then I'll go get you some medicine." After saying that, Su Zhizhi turned and left.

When she returned home, she found a place no one knew how to find and took out the donkey-treating plaster from the universal capsule, and then gave it to Aunt Zhao.

After returning, Su Zhizhi told Xie Chengjin everything that had just happened.

After hearing this, Xie Chengjin felt very troubled. It was obvious that they were being targeted.

"The donkey's leg is broken. How are we going to sell fruits and vegetables in the city? Some fruits will go bad after a few days!" Xie Chengjin said with a worried look on his face.

Su Zhizhi looked calm after hearing this. "Since we can't sell in the county town, we can just sell it at the village entrance! It's summer, the busy farming season, and the villagers are thirsty, so I guess our business won't be too bad."

"Okay, then let's try it as you said." Xie Chengjin nodded in agreement.

In this way, the two of them worked for most of the day and transported all the fruits to the village entrance.

Unfortunately, ideals are full and reality is skinny. Su Zhizhi and her friends set up their stall for most of the day, but found that many villagers just passed by their stall, and some just asked a few questions and left. After several hours, Su Zhizhi and her friends didn't sell many fruits.

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi could no longer sit still. After thinking it over, she decided to cut a piece of each fruit, put it in a clean small bowl, and put up a sign next to the stall with the words "Free Tasting" written on it.

Su Zhizhi is very confident in her products, and people in the countryside love to take advantage of small bargains, so it doesn't matter if she gives them a little sweet taste.

Sure enough, Su Zhizhi's new promotional method attracted many people who loved to get a bargain to come and try the food for free, and also attracted many people to sell their fruits and vegetables.

After a busy day, they had basically sold out all the fruits and vegetables they had brought out to set up stalls in the morning, and Su Zhizhi and her friends also made a small profit.

It happened to be dark at this time, and Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin excitedly packed up their stall and prepared to go home.

After returning to the house, Su Zhizhi thought more and more that they should buy a horse, so she pulled Xie Chengjin aside and asked, "Chengjin! How much does a horse cost? Do you know?"

"It will cost about thirty taels of silver." Xie Chengjin said without hesitation.

Su Zhizhi screamed in surprise when she heard this. "What? Thirty taels of silver? That's enough to cover our family's living expenses for half a year."

Su Zhizhi said with a worried look on her face.

Xie Chengjin nodded, "That's true. Ordinary people generally can't afford to keep a horse."

Xie Chengjin echoed.

"Okay! It seems that we have to do business well so that we can buy a horse of our own as soon as possible." Su Zhizhi said dejectedly.

At night, everyone fell into a deep sleep, and Su Zhizhi was no exception.

"I want to sell things, I want to do business." Su Zhizhi muttered softly while lying on the bed.

Su Zhizhi's words immediately caught the attention of Xie Chengjin who was standing beside her.

"What's wrong with you, Zhizhi?" Xie Chengjin asked cautiously.

Su Zhizhi ignored him and continued to talk to herself: "Yes, yes, yes, I want to make money so that I can buy a horse."

"Horse, horse, this is the horse for me! This horse is tall, big, and strong. You can tell it's a powerful one."

Xie Chengjin was completely confused when he saw this scene. This was most likely Su Zhizhi having a nightmare.

Thinking of Su Zhizhi's actions during the day, Xie Chengjin immediately fell into deep thought.

The next morning.

Not long after Su Zhizhi got up, Xie Chengjin took off the jade pendant from his waist with a serious face and handed it to Su Zhizhi.

"What is this for?" Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin puzzledly.

"This is my jade pendant. Go to the pawnshop and pawn it so that you can have money to continue your business." Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi seriously and said.
