My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

Si Muyan said, "My younger brother and I are going to buy tables and chairs. You go and see if the village head uncle's ox cart has come. If he has, please ask him to wait for a while and take us back first."

The younger sister muttered, "There are so many ox carts on the street, just pick one and they'll deliver it."

But Si Muyan insisted, "No, it must be from the village head uncle's house."

The cart driver in the village head's house was his uncle's younger brother, Song Erqiang. When Song Erqiang was a child, he fell from a tree while playing and hit his head. It wasn't a serious injury, but he became rather dull afterwards, unable to speak or act tactfully.

So the villagers liked to joke with him and called him "Silly Brother" or "Silly Uncle".

It was also thanks to the ability of the village head uncle that he always thought of his younger brother in everything he did. He even bought an ox cart for him so that he could do this business.

As my younger sister pushed the cart over, she saw Song Erqiang's carriage parked under a tree. It looked like he had just arrived. Usually, Song Erqiang would come when the morning market was almost over, wait until mid-afternoon, and then drive back.

The main reason is that Songji Village is too far away from the county town. Villagers basically don’t come here every day, let alone twice a day.

"Second uncle, second uncle."

Song Erqiang rubbed his eyes and smiled happily when he saw that it was his little sister: "Wan girl, what's the matter?"

The younger sister quickly told him why she was there: "Uncle, my sister went out to buy some things. It's a bit much. Can you take us back later?"

Song Erqiang still grinned, but shook his head: "No, it's not time to go back yet."

The younger sister explained, "I know, but we need to go back now. You can take us back and then drive back here. We'll definitely be in time to pick them up this afternoon."

"Ah?" Song Erqiang was stunned and shook his head, saying, "Big brother said to come out at the end of Chen Shimo and go back at Shen Shimo, but it's not time yet."

The younger sister was speechless and continued, "I'll give you money, twenty cents."

Song Erqiang said, "At 5 p.m., each person should pay two pence, not twenty pence."

I feel like vomiting blood. This Song Erqiang is really a fool. Why can't he make sense?

But fools also have their advantages.

The younger sister's eyes turned and she continued, "Second Uncle, didn't your brother tell you that he would take us back today?"

Song Erqiang was stunned: "No."

"Oh, what should we do? My father and the village head yesterday agreed that you should take us home alone today because you have something important to do for him. If you don't, we won't be able to go back!"

When Song Erqiang heard this, he panicked and asked, "Is my brother okay? I'll go back now!"

When mother left, she told her to listen to her brother and to do things for him immediately if he had anything to do, and she wanted to go back to see him.

The younger sister quickly stopped him: "Uncle, my older sister and younger brother are shopping. We need to wait for them. When we get back, ask your brother and you'll know."

Song Erqiang nodded: "Okay."

The younger sister finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the fool was easy to deceive. She would go back and explain it carefully to the head of the village.

By the time the guy selling tables and chairs brought over two sets of detachable tables and chairs, my sister had already made the deal.

Song Erqiang asked, "Are these tables and chairs my brother's?"

Si Muyan was stunned and looked at her younger sister. Seeing her nod helplessly, she knew what was going on. She smiled and said, "You'll know when Second Uncle takes us back."

Song Erqiang nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, he helped Si Muyan to tie their porridge cart to the back of the ox cart.

After getting in the car and settling in, the younger sister whispered to Si Muyan what had just happened: "Song the fool is so stubborn. If I hadn't lied to him, he wouldn't have taken us. But why bother? I can just go out and find a car on the street, right?"

Si Muyan said, "That's different. Since we want to rent a car for a long time, it's more suitable to rent a car from the village head uncle's house. Once we get familiar with it, we can ask the second uncle to help us, which is also very good."

Songji Village now has more than one oxcart belonging to the village head. This is because the oxcart of the village head only transports people at fixed times, but not everyone in the village needs to go out at fixed times.

So two families also saved money to buy ox carts. During the busy farming season, the oxen can be used to do farm work, and when it is not busy, they can also carry people and earn some money.

But even so, the ox cart from the village head's house would set out on time every day. Even during the busy farming season, this ox cart would not be used to plow the fields, but only to carry people.

Unless the weather makes it impossible to go out, or no one in the village goes to the streets that day.

The village head did this for the sake of the villagers, so that everyone could have a car to use every day, and secondly to protect his younger brother so that he could have a job to support his family.

After all, a tree has many branches. When they are older and their own children are older in the future, they will no longer raise their younger brother as a child like they do now.

Si Muyan knew this, so she admired the village head very much.

Today, my younger sister suggested renting an ox cart. She thought of the situation at the headman's house and was sure that if they asked Uncle Song to give them a ride every day, the headman would definitely agree.

The problem had been solved, so the younger sister stopped worrying about it and looked at the newly bought tables and chairs happily, thinking that the porridge would definitely sell well tomorrow and she would make more money.

I couldn't help but smile.

In addition to tables and chairs, Si Muyan also bought twenty bowls and meat and vegetable dumplings.

The younger sister silently calculated in her heart, well, there is basically no money left today.

Forget it. After her elder sister got hurt, she started spending money like water. She has become very calm about it. Let her spend it. She can earn it back anyway.

When they got home, Si Xingzhi and Aunt Jin both widened their eyes and felt that their hearts should be aching. Is this a case of spending as much as you earn?

But it seems that he is not shaking all the time.

So everyone went about their own business and pretended not to see it.

My younger sister and younger brother followed Song Erqiang to the village head's house and told him what happened today. My younger sister was very smart and had a good-looking appearance. As long as she didn't act pretentiously, she was very likable.

"Uncle Lizheng, I had no choice but to lie to Second Uncle. I didn't mean to deceive him. Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to get so many things back."

The village head said, "It's okay. But you bought so many things, did you really make any money?"

The younger sister pretended to wipe the sweat from her forehead and said, "I earn just enough to make a living. Yesterday, I met a noble man who gave me several taels of silver as a reward. I used it to buy those things. I hope that business will be better in the future."

The headman didn't say anything, but his wife curled her lips as she listened. The children of the Si family are so stupid and cute.

He opens his mouth wide and talks everything.

"But we have a lot of stuff," the younger sister continued, "so we're thinking of renting an oxcart. Uncle Village Head, we're going out very early this morning and should be back by the end of the day at the latest. So, we thought we could rent your horse-drawn carriage. Is that okay?"
