In the moment he was stunned, Song Yuntang had already stopped the ox cart and paid four copper coins to the driver, then turned to look at Song Jinsheng.

"If you want to go with me, you better be quick."

Song Jinsheng got on the ox cart and placed the backpack beside him, holding on to it so he wouldn't drop it. "It only takes a little over half an hour to walk from Rongshu Village to Cile Town. Four copper coins can buy two big meat buns. You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until you manage the household."

Song Yuntang just glanced at him indifferently.

"You can go down."

Song Jinsheng raised his chin, "How can that be? You've already paid."

"Then stop complaining. After all, I didn't ask you to spend any money."

Holding the purse hidden under her clothes, Song Yuntang felt a little worried. She searched the house thoroughly yesterday and found only forty-two copper coins in total. Excluding the four cents she had just paid, there were still thirty-eight cents left.

Song Yuntang before really didn't leave himself any room at all.

You definitely won’t make much money by selling old clothes and jewelry. If you want to develop in the long run, you have to go back to your old business.

The ox cart was moving very slowly and was bumpy.

When they arrived at Cile Town, Song Yuntang's butt was numb from the shaking.

She jumped off the ox cart, stretched her legs, and then looked up at the plaque in front of her that was engraved with the three big characters "Cile Town". She felt as if she was in another world.

Song Jinsheng stood behind her with a backpack on his back, looking at her expression, his brows slightly furrowed.

"It's useless to look at it more. Don't covet things that don't belong to you."

Song Yuntang turned his head and looked at him.

"You know what I'm thinking?"

Song Jinsheng snorted, "I'm not stupid."

"Not too smart." After saying this suddenly, Song Yuntang smiled and walked into Cile Town and headed towards East Street.

There is a market on East Street, which is crowded with people on weekdays. It is the best place to sell clothes and jewelry.

After Song Jinsheng reflected on what Song Yuntang had said, he trotted to catch up with her, "How dare you say I'm not smart? You're not much better than me."

Song Yuntang said calmly, "It doesn't matter if I'm not much better, as long as I'm better than you."

Song Jinsheng was choked by her words and didn't know how to speak for a long time, but he was not angry with her. The number of times this sister had spoken to him in the past three years was less than the number of times he could speak to a slap in the hand.

This is the first time that I have been able to talk to him so much today.

Moreover, she didn't seem as old-fashioned as he had imagined. After the conversation just now, he even found her quite interesting.

……

As soon as the two arrived at East Street, a familiar figure came towards them. It was Lin Gengshi, whom Song Yuntang had called "second brother" for thirteen years. In his hand, he was holding a piece of freshly baked jujube paste pastry.

When Song Yuntang was at the Lin family, she also loved to eat jujube paste cakes. The jujube paste cakes at the East Street market tasted the best, especially those freshly baked in the morning with a strong jujube aroma. With a portion of jujube paste cake and a cup of Longjing tea, she could stay in front of the moon cave for half a day, watching the clouds roll by, the rockery and the fish in the pond, and occasionally a breeze would blow by, making her feel refreshed.

At that time, the jujube paste cakes she ate were bought by Lin Gengshi himself in East Street.

Now things have changed and people have changed. Fortunately, Song Yuntang has a new soul in his body, otherwise the original owner would feel very aggrieved when seeing this scene.

Song Yuntang didn't want to meet him and was about to turn around to avoid him when Lin Gengshi happened to look over here.

Song Yuntang pretended not to see him and turned away.

Seeing this, Lin Gengshi chased after him in a few steps.

"Song Yuntang, wait a minute."

Song Jinsheng looked at the girl beside him, his brows furrowed as if water could be squeezed out of him. "Now you are still insisting that you are not here for the Lin family?"

Song Yuntang said calmly, "If I say we met by chance, would you believe me?"

"The key is, do you believe it yourself?"

"Yes, it's true." Song Yuntang turned and nodded slightly towards Lin Geng who had caught up with her. Unlike the close dependence she had shown in the past, her expression today was extremely cold. "Greetings, Second Young Master Lin."

Although Song Yuntang was sent back to the Song family, he never changed the way he addressed the Lin family. When Lin Gengshi suddenly heard the name "Second Young Master Lin", his brows furrowed.

Then, a word popped into his mind - playing hard to get.

After he came to his senses, he became disgusted with Song Yuntang again. Zhao'er was right, it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Song Yuntang had been pampered and loved by the Lin family for more than ten years. How could he easily give up the opportunity to return to the Lin family?

"Why are you here again?" There was obvious impatience in his tone.

Song Yuntang seemed to have heard some funny joke.

"What Second Young Master Lin said, I might not be able to come to Cile Town."

Lin Gengshi looked at her coldly, "Didn't I tell you last time not to come to town anymore? Now that you're back at the Song family, be a little more obedient. Zhao'er is much more sensible than you. After returning to the Lin family, you'll only go to the Song family if you really miss them. On weekdays, you should stay at home and learn the rules."

Song Yuntang remained silent.

"So, Mr. Lin, please go back and accompany your sensible sister Zhao'er. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you any longer." She looked around, pointed to an empty place, turned around and smiled at Song Jinsheng, "Second brother, shall we go there?"

When Song Jinsheng heard Song Yuntang calling him "Second Brother" in person, and in front of Lin Gengshi, he felt secretly happy.

He looked proudly in the direction of Lin Gengshi, then followed Song Yuntang to the open space she pointed to.

"coming."

When Song Yuntang no longer paid attention to Lin Geng, he took off the backpack from Song Jinsheng's back, took out an old cloth and put it on the ground, then took out the items inside one by one and spread them out flat.

Then she began to shout, "The finest silks and satins, new in color, all at a bargain price."

Song Yuntang had been a lady in the Lin family for more than ten years. Her tutor always required her not to show her teeth when smiling, not to expose her knees when sitting, not to shake her head when walking, and not to lean against the door when standing.

She learned the etiquette very well and spoke softly in public. The scene of hawking on the street not only surprised Song Jinsheng, but also stunned Lin Gengshi.

He stepped forward and grabbed Song Yuntang's arm, his tone filled with anger.

"Song Yuntang, are you crazy?"

"I don't understand what Second Young Master Lin is saying." Song Yuntang freed his arm and pointed at the clothes in front of him. "But Young Master, do you think these things are from the Lin family? It's not appropriate to sell them at the market?"

Lin Gengshi didn't answer her question, but instead asked her, "Do you know that the way you seek attention is really disgusting? If you want to play hard to get, there must be a limit. If you really want to go back to the Lin family, I can take you there right now!"

"First of all, I don't think I want to get other people's attention." Song Yuntang looked at him indifferently, his posture straight. "Secondly, I have no intention of going to the Lin family."

"Second Young Master Lin also said that since I have returned to the Song family, I will be a member of the Song family from now on and will have no connection with the Lin family. The Lin family is a wealthy family and naturally has extremely high expectations for their children, but Second Young Master Lin is also clear about the conditions of the Song family. If I still act like before, I will not understand the situation and it will not benefit me in any way."

After a pause, he continued, "But I still want to thank the Lin family for raising me. If the Lin family needs anything, I will repay them. But right now, I'm dealing with my own personal affairs. Mr. Lin and I are not related, so I hope you won't interfere."
