After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive
Chapter 4 Selling Prey
Li Qingqing was eating roasted rabbit meat with Dashuang and Xiaoshuang, while Zhang was also busy. She was eager to marry Li Qingqing off as soon as possible.
The matchmaking with Mr. Liu fell through, and Wang the matchmaker was no longer reliable, so Zhang was busy looking for another matchmaker for Li Qingqing.
Zhang lost ten taels of silver this time. She has been in a bad mood these days and starts cursing when she gets upset.
She drove Li Qingqing and the other two to do housework, such as collecting firewood, cutting grass for pigs, washing clothes, etc., without caring whether they were hungry or not.
When Shaw was kind enough, he only gave a few bowls of porridge at dinner that was so thin that you could see your reflection in it.
Li Qingqing ignored Zhang's scolding.
Since she has decided to bring the two little ones with her, she must first take care of herself and recover her strength before making any plans.
Li Qingqing brought Dashuang and Xiaoshuang to the back mountain early every morning, and first took them for a run for exercise.
The two little ones were too thin, so she could only let them practice casually, while she herself did daily physical training.
Afterwards, the two kids were responsible for collecting firewood, while Li Qingqing was responsible for hunting for food.
After more than half a month of feeding, the flesh on Dashuang and Xiaoshuang's faces actually increased a little, unlike before when they were so skinny and had no flesh on their faces.
This made Shao suspicious, thinking that the three of them were stealing food from the house, but she had no evidence.
After all, Zhang holds the keys to the kitchen.
Even though she is pregnant now and wants to eat something, she can't get any food from Zhang.
That afternoon, while Li Qingqing was washing clothes by the river, Shao secretly called Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang over and asked them:
"Da Shuang, Xiao Shuang, have you had any good food these days?"
After that, he took out a few cooked soybeans, put one in his mouth, and continued, "Tell the truth, and you'll get soybeans as a reward!"
"No, no one gives us delicious food."
“We are hungry every day!”
Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang shook their heads and denied it, remembering what their eldest sister had said.
The eldest sister said that the stepmother would definitely ask them if they had eaten anything, and she would never admit it even if she was beaten to death.
If they admitted it, they would have no meat to eat in the future.
When Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang thought of the golden and greasy barbecue, they couldn't help drooling.
Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, Shao snorted angrily, put the soybeans in her pocket, and impatiently drove the man away:
"Go, go, go, go and do something!"
"You little bitch, you're drooling over a few soybeans. You're really not worthy of being on the stage!"
Mrs. Shao no longer paid any attention to the two little ones, thinking that they would not dare to steal food from home.
Shao didn't dare to ask Zhang Daya. She felt that Zhang Daya seemed to have changed her personality since the broken engagement, and she was even a little afraid of Zhang Daya.
These days, Li Qingqing's physical agility has improved a lot, and she has hunted a lot of prey, all of which she hid in the space.
The space keeps the food fresh and of good quality. You don’t have to worry about it going bad when you put it in there. When you take it out, it will be like freshly made.
Li Qingqing planned to go to the town early tomorrow morning to see if she could exchange the prey for some silver.
If you can make money from hunting, buying a house somewhere else in the future would be a way out, right?
What we need most now is to solve the housing problem and separate from Zhang as soon as possible.
At night, Li Qingqing slipped into the space and tidied it up.
These days, apart from what she, Dashuang and Xiaoshuang ate themselves, they found that they had accumulated quite a lot of prey.
There were twenty-one hares, seventeen pheasants, and various sparrows, doves, and the like.
She already knew the way to the town. A few days ago, Mrs. Wang next door went to the town, and she secretly followed her.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Qingqing first brought Dashuang and Xiaoshuang to the flat land on the mountainside, gave them a few words of advice, and then she quickly rushed to the town.
Li Qingqing went to the town to sell wild animals, and Zhang also hurried out.
Zhang went to find Zhou, the matchmaker in the village.
Ever since that day when Zhang Daya's engagement was broken off, the news has spread throughout the village through the villagers who were watching the fun.
Many families in the village who were eager to get married refused as soon as they heard the matchmaker introduce Zhang Daya.
This made Zhang, who wanted to collect a high bride price, very anxious.
Fortunately, this time Zhang brought good news to Zhou the matchmaker's house.
The old bachelor Zhang who lived at the end of the village was willing to marry her, but he was only willing to pay one or two taels of silver and he also wanted to meet her in person.
Zhang felt distressed, as ten taels of silver were reduced to one tael of silver.
But even so, she still had to put on a smile and let Old Man Zhang bargain.
"Mrs. Zhang, I heard that the girl has a rash on her face. I have to see her, right?"
"I've spent all my money, I can't marry an ugly woman!"
Old man Zhang looked indifferent. Nowadays, people everywhere are eager to marry off their daughters, so he is not afraid that Zhang will not agree.
In the village, it usually costs at least three taels of silver to marry a wife. Old man Zhang, who is nearly forty years old, has not been able to marry a wife because his family is not well off.
When the imperial decree came down, he was overjoyed.
Nowadays, you can marry a young and beautiful virgin for just one tael of silver.
If it weren't for Matchmaker Zhou, he wouldn't have been willing to go to Zhang's house!
Zhang made an appointment with Old Man Zhang to wait for Li Qingqing to come back from collecting firewood in the mountains to visit her.
At this time, Li Qingqing finally arrived in the town at noon.
She found the market based on the original owner's memory.
Li Qingqing took the prey out of the space from a deserted place, and when she brought it to the market, many people gathered around.
After getting a basic understanding of the prices, in order to get home earlier, Li Qingqing set the price of hares and pheasants at a uniform thirty-five cents as a direct selling price.
At first, everyone was reluctant to buy the fish because they saw the rash on Li Qingqing's face, but they couldn't resist the low price and the freshness of the prey, so they bought them all in less than two hours.
The sparrows and turtledoves were bought in a package by the last customer.
All of a sudden, Li Qingqing had 1,585 coins in her hand, which was more than one tael of silver!
These wild animals are sold very cheaply, but there are too many of them.
Some customers who didn't get a chance even asked Li Qingqing when she would come back to sell wild animals again.
Li Qingqing said that she had not yet determined the time and could not guarantee when she would come.
After all, her biggest trouble now is not solving the problem of food and clothing, but her inability to leave the Zhang family.
Moreover, Zhang was thinking about marrying her off every day, which was also a problem that needed to be solved urgently.
Her ivory cards were in Zhang's hands, and she couldn't even go to the county town.
Besides, even if she had the tooth card, her physical strength had not yet recovered. Where could she escape to?
If you encounter a bad guy, can you defeat him?
I couldn't even escape myself, let alone think about taking Dashuang and Xiaoshuang with me.
Li Qingqing was not in a hurry at all. She would stay at Zhang's house for the time being, where she could exercise more and take care of her body.
As long as the rash on your face is not removed, you will be safer for one more day.
There will always be opportunities to resolve these current difficulties.
On the way back, Li Qingqing bought some buns from the bun shop and threw them into the space.
If you don't want to roast your prey, you can use this to fill your stomach.
