Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

"Mom, let's buy Miaomiao a sheep, so she can drink sheep's milk every day."

Jiang Ziyan saw someone selling sheep outside the city gate from afar.

“That’s right, once Miaomiao stops drinking milk, she can eat mutton.” Jiang Zifeng looked at the several fat sheep as if he could see roasted mutton.

My mouth is watering.

Jiang Miaomiao: ......

Jiang Ziyan stood on tiptoe and put his arm around his brother's shoulder. "Brother, if you keep eating, you'll turn into a ball."

"Where?" Jiang Zifeng rolled her eyes at him.

Lu Qingyao saw a plump ewe with several half-grown sheep beside her.

"Hey folks, how much for this ewe?"

Upon hearing that she didn't speak with a local accent, the old man glanced at her and said, "The big ones are six taels a head, and the small ones are three taels a head."

Lu Qingyao casually asked, "Can you make it cheaper?"

"Alright, it's getting dark, I need to get home. I'll give you five taels. My sheep are in really good condition, you'll miss out if you don't buy them..."

[Liar! Liar! He sells it to others for only three taels of silver...]

Chirp chirped as it perched on the sheep's back.

Lu Qingyao thought it had chosen this one.

He readily agreed, took out some silver, and said, "This one will do."

Jiang Miaomiao snuggled against her brother, babbling softly.

Mom, a liar...this person is a liar...

unscrupulous merchants...

Jiang Zifeng patted her bottom and said in a loud voice, "Mom, Miaomiao is hungry. Let's go back quickly after we finish shopping."

"Okay, let's go."

Jiang Miaomiao: ......

The old man lassoed the sheep out of the pen and handed the rope to his mother.

Pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in one hand.

The louder Jiang Miaomiao shouted, the faster her mother paid.

The baby was so excited that he waved his arms and legs.

Hey!

I'm too tired, never mind, I won't call anymore!

I was ripped off for two taels of silver.

Somewhat distressed.

That's enough to buy thirty or forty chickens...

Indeed, there are always people who bully newcomers, both in ancient and modern times, and everywhere.

That damned profiteer.....

Dusk fell.

"Roll, roll..." The sound of wheels rolling.

Occasionally, the cries of crows and sparrows could be heard.

"Cuckoo..."

Jiang Miaomiao was held tightly by her older brother, so she didn't feel scared.

"Mother, why do we have to wait until it gets dark to go home?" Jiang Zifeng asked.

Jiang Miaomiao was also curious.

In ancient times, there were no streetlights, so people had to rely on moonlight or lanterns to walk at night.

If another wild animal were to run out, it would scare people to death!

"Brother, do you want to be stared at by everyone?" Jiang Ziyan looked at his silly brother.

The childish voice spoke with a firm and mature tone.

“Look at those old men and women at the village entrance. Every day after they finish eating, they sit there chatting. If they see this whole cart of stuff of ours…”

"I'm afraid that tomorrow, the whole village will be buzzing about how much grain, how many chickens, and how many yam cakes our family bought..."

"At that time, people will be coming to borrow money and grain, and they'll probably wear out our doorstep."

Jiang Zifeng looked at the little kid who was three years younger than him and used to hide behind him and call him "brother".

He looks like a little adult.

I couldn't help but chuckle.

Jiang Miaomiao was very surprised, staring at her second brother with her toothless little mouth wide open.

Isn't seven or eight years old the age when little boys are mischievous and naughty?

My second brother actually knows so much.

For a moment, Jiang Miaomiao even wondered if her second brother was like her.

Wheel wheel wheel wheel......

The carriage arrived at the doorstep.

Liu Yuniang and her daughter were already waiting there.

I saw them coming back with a cart full of things, and a sheep tied to the back of the cart.

That tells you you got a good price.

He rushed forward, "Sister-in-law, how did it go? How much silver did you get?"

"Sister-in-law, let's go inside and talk." Lu Qingyao carried her daughter into the house.

The two brothers parked the carriage in the yard.

"I got fifty taels of silver, bought some rice and flour, and purchased some New Year's goods. I still have thirty taels left."

"So many!" Liu Yuniang and her daughter stared wide-eyed at her in disbelief.

If I had known that there were two such valuable paintings in this dilapidated house...

It's probably been stolen long ago.

Fortunately, the house was dilapidated, so no one dared to target it.

Lu Qingyao took out fifteen taels from her bundle and gave it to Liu Yuniang, "Sister-in-law, buy some more to repay Landlord Liu, and don't borrow from him again in the future..."

Jiang Miaomiao looked at her mother.

Isn't it one hundred taels?

How did it become fifty taels?

He must have been afraid of frightening his aunt.

"Sister-in-law, thank you so much..." Liu Yuniang held Jiang Qiao'er's hand and thanked her profusely, "We will repay you as soon as possible."

"Sister-in-law, we're all family, no need to be so polite. Pay it back slowly, it's no big deal."

"We need to repay Landlord Liu first..."

Without even a second thought, it's likely that Liu Yuniang only borrowed about ten taels of silver back then.

As a result, interest compounded, and that's how much it ballooned.

"Sister-in-law, we'll head back now and go to the Liu family to return the money." Liu Yuniang didn't linger and pulled Jiang Qiao'er to leave.

Walking into the yard, I saw the two brothers milking goats.

He casually asked, "Sister-in-law, how much silver did you pay for this?"

"Five taels of silver."

"What?" Liu Yuniang walked up to the sheep, looked it over from head to toe, and touched it. "Which heartless bastard dared to lie to you?"

Scammed?

Lu Qingyao was completely confused.

Jiang Miaomiao lay in her mother's arms, tilting her head to listen.

Liu Yuniang was furious. "This sheep is worth at most three taels of silver. Listen to me, go and get the money back tomorrow. That person might still be there."

Two taels of silver.

That's no small amount.

She has to embroider for a month or two, making twenty or thirty handkerchiefs to earn that much money.

How could we let others deceive us so easily?

“Sister-in-law, I’ll go with you to get it tomorrow. That heartless bastard dared to cheat you like that! If I catch him, I’ll break his legs…”

"Don't be angry, sister-in-law. I'll go and get the money back tomorrow."

Lu Qingyao, who was already somewhat annoyed, saw that Liu Yuniang was even angrier than she was.

It seems like she's the one who got scammed.

The frustration in my heart vanished instantly.

Before the mother and daughter left, they caught them another chicken.

I brought a bag of yam cakes.

This night.

Lu Qingyao led the three children to rest early.

I plan to go to town and take a look as soon as it gets light.

Maybe we can actually get the money back.

But after only a short while of sleeping, I heard a strange sound coming from the doorway.

“Gudong gudong…”

It didn't sound like a person knocking on the door.

"Meow meow meow...meow meow meow..."

"Mom, it sounds like our sheep are bleating. Could it be that the weasels are back?" Jiang Zifeng said, getting up to speak.

Lu Qingyao's heart tightened.

I just bought so many chickens today, could there really be weasels among them?

He jumped up and carried Jiang Miaomiao to the two brothers' bed.

"Mother is going to check on her. You all keep an eye on your sister." She put on a coat, grabbed a red-tasseled spear, and went out.

Jiang Miaomiao also wanted to go.

She tugged at her second brother's sleeve, making incoherent noises.

Jiang Zifeng hugged her tightly, patting her gently, "Miaomiao, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother will protect you..."

Jiang Ziyan looked helpless. "Miaomiao, it's cold outside, you can't go out."

Jiang Miaomiao: ......

Her eldest brother doted on her, but it seemed her second brother understood her even better...

"Meow meow meow..."

"Meow meow meow..."

It sounds like a lot of sheep are bleating...
