Su Ruyi waited for the grocery shopper to leave before stepping forward.
At this time, the vegetables are already wilted in the sun, and they will become even more wilted when the stalls are closed in the afternoon. At that time, the poor come to buy them because they are cheap.
"What do you want, little lady? They were all pulled from the ground in the morning, there are only a few left, and they are still fresh!"
"Two cucumbers."
This is good. Raw cucumbers are delicious when chewed. They have a refreshing fragrance. In her previous life, she ate a lot to stay in shape. She was so scared when she saw them. Looking back now, she didn't think they were that scary.
"anything else?"
"don't want."
"Oh, it's pitiful too. Here, you can take these two cucumbers. I don't want your money."
The old man picked up two stale ones and handed them over.
While Su Ruyi took it, she lowered her head to look at her clothes.
She knew that the Lu family was poor, but she didn't expect that outsiders could tell that she was poor at a glance. She also felt that everyone on the street was similar, and everyone had patches on their bodies.
When I lowered my head and took a closer look, I saw that the clothes on my body were indeed patched more, and the original color of the fabric could not be seen at all. The difference was obvious compared with others.
These clothes were still new when she married into the Lu family. She has not bought any new clothes in the past four years. There are only two coats in total. She can wear them all year round, and they are not ones that do not require work... Although the original owner does not work much either , but after all, people from the village still do a lot of work compared to those from noble families.
It's a good thing that no one else in the family came, otherwise the old man would know that she was not the most pitiable. She had the most flesh on her body and the latest clothes in the Lu family.
"Then... thank you, uncle. Also, uncle, do you have any vegetable seeds on hand? I will buy them, no matter what kind of vegetable seeds they are!"
"Are you buying vegetable seeds?"
The old man became cautious and asked, "How much do you want to buy?"
"Just plant a little in your own vegetable field. I didn't grow vegetables at home before, and I didn't have any seeds. I'll buy you some, old man. It'll be enough for our family."
The old man made a sound, picked up his vegetables and said slowly: "Seeds are not a rare thing, how do you want to buy them?"
He was a little afraid that this woman would come to steal his business. Then he thought about it and realized that this might not always be possible.
Su Ruyi: "I only need a little of each seed, three cents is enough."
The two of them agreed that they would stay at this place tomorrow morning. The old man would bring the seeds and Su Ruyi would give him the money.
After leaving the vegetable market, Su Ruyi was in a great mood, but also a little regretful. It would be great if herbal seeds could be purchased in this way.
In this era, there were very few people growing herbal medicines. They usually had to go up the mountain to dig them, which was laborious.
There are benefits, however, as herbs grown in the wild seem to be more potent than cultivated ones.
In the future, I will go up the mountain more and look for more rare herbs. It will be a kind of fun to accumulate them little by little.
It was already mid-afternoon. Su Ruyi bought two steamed buns and mixed herself a bowl of brown sugar water.
I bought the brown sugar in the town. It was originally going to be given to my second sister-in-law Li Baozhu. I felt embarrassed that I always asked others to help me. In the future, I will ask my second sister-in-law for a lot of help, such as mending clothes. Help with making shoes or something...
She doesn't like these delicate tasks very much.
I was full with the two cucumbers given by my uncle.
The days spent alone outside are quite comfortable. You can eat whatever you want, and no one will feel bad about you if you eat too much.
I don’t know if my family members have listened to me in the past two days and changed one bowl of rice to two bowls of rice.
After eating, she couldn't sit still. Although the Lu family was not very satisfied with her, she had developed feelings for them in this short period of time.
In modern times, she experienced loneliness because of the early death of her parents. Although she was comfortable alone, she longed for her family even more after a long time.
The quarrels and joys and sorrows of the Lu family have become a part of her life, and she is very much looking forward to leading the whole family to live a better life.
Therefore, she wanted to make money quickly. It was good to eat out by herself, but she felt it would be more enjoyable to watch the whole family eating meat together happily.
She didn't want to go to the market to set up a stall and sell vegetables in the afternoon.
The old man only gave me two cucumbers, so it would be too stupid to immediately compete with others for business.
It is also possible to change to another market, but the vegetables in the afternoon are generally not sold at high prices.
So, she decided to go directly to those big restaurants.
Just like delivering vegetables to those wealthy families, Su Ruyi only picked up vegetables that were not available outside and put them into the basket. Every time she entered the space, she moved the vegetables from the house to the trees in the yard and put them there, so that there would be vegetables inside the wooden house. A new batch of vegetables appears.
The cabbage alone almost filled one basket, and the remaining lettuce and radishes were placed in another basket, which was quite a load.
In order to enter the space this time, she also walked to a remote and messy place, with no residents around.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I came out, I turned a corner and saw a man pouring water against the wall.
Su Ruyi: "..."
Yes, such remote and uninhabited places are often used as public toilets. In ancient times, it was even worse because there were not many toilets.
She silently retreated behind the wall.
After waiting for a while, I felt that it was almost done, so I picked up the burden and walked out again.
"ah!"
Su Ruyi was so frightened that her heart was beating wildly, and she almost attacked this man!
"Hey, girl, you are so brave. Are you hiding here and peeking?"
Su Ruyi glanced at him and thought, this is a gangster.
The bun is also crooked, and the skirt of the clothes is half-open in an unflattering way.
When he said this, he moved closer to Su Ruyi. He could smell the breath in his mouth, and this tone was disgusting.
Su Ruyi looked at him with an indifferent face, not afraid at all: "Get out of the way, what are you doing?"
Therefore, a person's confidence is given by himself. If he was blocked by a gangster in a deep alley in his previous life, no matter how calm or fierce his face was, he would definitely still be afraid in his heart.
This life is different. She is a woman with infinite strength. Last time, she beat that Liu Mazi to the ground crying for his father and his mother, wasn't he?
This man looked stronger than Liu Mazi, but she didn't even use any strength to hit Liu Mazi last time.
"What are you doing? If not, what else can you do?"
This gangster!
Just reach out and come over!
Su Ruyi stepped back and put down the burden.
Rogue: "Hey~, isn't that right...ah!"
Su Ruyi hit the man on the head with a pole.
Then, before the man could say anything, he was knocked down on his face by the pole. He tried to grab it with his hands, but was almost not interrupted. He hurriedly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, shouting "stop".
This woman's strength was so strong that he couldn't resist it! If he continues to hit him with such ferocious force, his life will be decided here!
