A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

Today, Lin He'er and Liu Shi got up early and took a carriage to town.

He'er, you're saying this carriage belongs to our family?!

Madam Liu was surprised that her daughter-in-law had even bought a carriage. As she spoke, she reached out and touched the inside of the carriage!

Horse-drawn carriages are better; they're warmer than oxcarts in winter. You can sit in the carriage with a hand warmer in your hand and travel without feeling uncomfortable!

Lin He'er spoke to her mother-in-law through the curtain;

Mother, the horse-drawn carriage is faster than the oxcart, so we can get to town earlier today.

Lin He'er was right. Normally, even if you take an oxcart to town on a good day and the weather is good, it still takes about half a day to get there. But the horse is indeed faster than the ox, and the two of them arrived in town in just an hour and a half!

Lin He'er came to town mainly to buy braised ingredients, so she went straight to the general store!

Shopkeeper, do you have star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves...?

After Lin He'er finished giving out a list of names, the shopkeeper only took some Sichuan peppercorns and dried ginger from the counter.

Madam, we don't have the other things you want here. You'll have to go to the pharmacy to buy the herbs!

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Lin He'er slapped her forehead and realized that these ancient seasonings could only be found in medical clinics now and were not used in food.

Having bought the only two kinds of braising spices the shop had, I had no choice but to take a horse-drawn carriage to the pharmacy!

He'er, put me down, Mother is going to buy some other things.

Liu hadn't been to the market for several days, but now that she was here, she naturally wanted to take a good look around and see what else she needed to buy for the New Year!

The two parted ways and went to buy what they needed!

After Lin He'er finished buying her things at the pharmacy, she realized that she had forgotten to arrange a meeting place with her mother-in-law!

Thinking that Liu would probably browse the market, Lin He'er left her carriage at the town entrance and went to the market to find her!

Before I even got to the market, I saw a large crowd gathered in front of me. Was there some gossip to see?

As soon as Lin He'er saw the crowded area, this was the only thought in her mind, and she quickened her pace!

When they got closer, they saw that there were quite a few people gathered. From the outside, they couldn't see what was happening inside, but they could hear a young woman's voice.

Ma'am, please give me your things. It's inconvenient for me to be holding my child. You can't take advantage of us!

Just from the sound of voices outside, Lin He'er knew that the woman surrounded by the crowd was a green tea b*tch!

Listen to that sweet, coquettish voice, tsk tsk, it really makes her seem so weak and vulnerable!

She captivated countless men, who felt indignant on her behalf!

As he was thinking this, he heard a man's voice.

Auntie, why are you bullying that mother and daughter? There's plenty of stuff; if you want to buy it elsewhere, go buy it elsewhere!

See, someone's definitely standing up for this green tea bitch!

Bah! Why should I give it to her? I saw the item first, and I asked the price first. I was just about to pay when this little woman wanted to buy it. What? When buying things, isn't it always about first come, first served?

Hey bro, do you think I was the one who first took a liking to this hairpin?

Oh ho, so the green tea bitch still wanted to snatch the thing that someone else had their eye on first!

Lin He'er unconsciously spat out a sound, but after spitting, she suddenly felt that the old woman's voice inside sounded like her own mother-in-law...

Mother-in-law? Madam Liu?

Lin He'er belatedly realized that this was her mother-in-law Liu's voice!

Good heavens, I'm watching my mother-in-law fight with someone?

Lin He'er belatedly squeezed in, "Make way, make way!"

Hey, why are you pushing? Don't you know the rules? Even when watching a show, there's an order to how you should arrive!

The person Lin He'er was pulling from behind shouted at her in dissatisfaction!

I'm sorry, Auntie, my family is inside, I have to go in and check on them!

Uh... family members, then you should go in quickly!

The woman, seeing the crowd's heads from the noise, felt embarrassed and stepped back.

Lin He'er squeezed her way into the circle and, sure enough, saw her mother-in-law arguing with a young woman at a stall!

Mother, what's wrong?

Lin He'er approached Madam Liu and stood directly opposite the young woman!

He'er is here. It's nothing serious. Her mother saw a hairpin that she thought was quite pretty and was thinking of buying it for her. But just as she was about to pay, this woman tried to take it!

That's why I only had a few words to say to this person.

After hearing what Madam Liu said, Lin He'er naturally believed what her family said!

So he looked up at the other person.

At this moment, Fang Liniang, who was arguing with Liu Shi, saw another woman coming in front of the old woman. She looked up and felt that this woman was very familiar. Did she see her somewhere before?

Lin He'er saw the woman opposite her and felt that she looked somewhat familiar!

Why does this woman look somewhat like that woman from before?

After all, it happened several years ago, and I wasn't entirely sure, so I tentatively called out a question;

Fang Liniang?

When Fang Liniang heard the woman call out her name, she suddenly realized where this sense of familiarity came from. This woman was the sister-in-law of the woman her husband had divorced!

What a small world!

When Lin He'er saw the woman's expression change immediately after she called out the woman's name, she immediately realized that this person was Fang Liniang!

A few years have passed, and Fang Liniang is no longer as young as before! That's why I didn't recognize her at first!

Fang Liniang, seeing that the person opposite her recognized her, just wanted to put down the hairpin and leave as soon as possible.

Just as he was about to make a move, for some reason, he felt that if he just left like this, wouldn't the two people opposite him look down on him?

Thinking back to what the young woman had said to him, and seeing the old woman beside her, he realized that this must be the mother of the divorced wife!

Hmph, if anyone should be hiding, it should be them hiding from me!

Fang Liniang had an idea in her mind, so she withdrew her hand and raised her head to speak;

I got the hairpin first, so it naturally belongs to me!

Auntie, you only glanced at it, does that mean it belongs to you?

Fang Liniang's words seemed to make sense at first glance, but Lin He'er didn't follow up on them. Instead, she turned to the stall owner in front of her and asked.

Young man, didn't my mother see the hairpin first? She also asked you about the price.

Yes, yes!

The stall owner never expected that two customers would take a liking to the hairpins on his stall at the same time!

Did my mother say she wanted to buy this hairpin?

"I've already said it!" The stall owner noticed the woman who had come up behind him was staring at him with sharp eyes. Fearing that he might say something wrong and cause trouble, he quickly told the truth.

Did you hear that? Even the stall owner said that my mother had already told him she wanted to buy this hairpin, which means that the two parties had verbally reached an agreement on the sale. You're the one who interfered and stole what someone else loves!

Lin He'er said coldly to Fang Liniang!

Fang Liniang listened to the woman's words and felt that there was a double meaning to them. She also remembered that she had been caught in the act by the woman and felt that Lin He'er was mocking her. In a fit of anger, she spoke without thinking!

Madam, you shouldn't say that. Even if I have it in my hand, I still want to buy it. As long as your mother hasn't paid for it, the item is still unclaimed and anyone can buy it!

Besides, sometimes, even if you get something that doesn't belong to you, you never know when you'll lose it, right?

Whether it's a person or an object, isn't everything about fate?

Damn, Fang Liniang recognized me too? Otherwise, she wouldn't have retorted with such a sarcastic tone!

Moreover, what I just said did have that meaning. I didn't expect that this shameless green tea would actually have the nerve to stand here and argue with me!

Alright, so what do you do when you encounter an enemy?

My consistent principle, Lin He'er, is this:

Go to war!

Just as Lin He'er was getting into position, preparing to unleash a barrage of attacks, she heard someone shout from behind the crowd;

Li Niang, is that you inside?
