The three sisters had nothing to pack. Shen Zhiyao went back to the house and took out her suitcase, then took Bai Qiu and Yue Ya to go to Chen's house with Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen told her family about the situation.

Then he made arrangements: "Bai Qiu, Hu Zi and the other brothers will live in the same room tonight. Zhiyao, how about you and Yue Ya sharing the same room with the two sisters Cuihua?"

Shen Zhiyao smiled and nodded: "Aunt Chen, thank you for taking us in. We will leave when we get the new household registration tomorrow."

"Girl, what are you talking about? Don't think too much. Just settle down at Aunt Chen's house first."

Aunt Chen knew that Shen Zhiyao was capable. Just because she knew how to hunt, she was able to support the three sisters.

Shen Zhiyao said no more polite words. After Chen Cuihua took her to put down the box, Shen Zhiyao said to Aunt Chen:

"Aunt Chen, I will go to the mountains to find something later. Uncle Li Zheng worked hard to help us change our household registration. When he comes back, I want to visit him to say thank you. I also want to give a gift to the clan leader."

"Go quickly and pay attention to your safety." Aunt Chen was chopping pigweed in the courtyard. When she heard this, she only raised her head and warned her.

Shen Zhiyao did not take Shen Baiqiu and the others up the mountain this time. She went there alone with a basket on her back.

In the afternoon, she came back with a few fish and a few rabbits.

Aunt Chen also gave her the two rabbits that she had not killed yesterday so that she could take them and give them as gifts.

The next day, shortly before noon, Shen Lizheng returned from the county seat.

After receiving the news, Shen Zhiyao, Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya immediately came to the door with fish and rabbits.

Shen Lizheng's home is at the end of Lihua Village. The house looks no different from other houses in the village. When Shen Zhiyao and the others arrived at Shen Lizheng's house, Shen Lizheng's son was driving their cattle cart to the cowshed behind the house. Rush.

"Uncle Li Zheng."

Shen Zhiyao called him.

Shen Lizheng saw the three of them and went to open the courtyard door to let them in.

"I'm just about to find you. The household registration has been completed." Shen Li was giving them the new household registration.

"Thank you." Shen Zhiyao took the household registration and put it away, and then asked Shen Baiqiu to put down the backpack he was carrying.

"Uncle Li Zheng, thank you for your hard work this time. This is a little bit of our kindness. Please accept it."

Shen Lizheng waved his hand: "It's all my responsibility. No need to give anything away, just take it back quickly."

Shen Zhiyao took out the weeds covering the basket on his back: "If you don't accept it, I'll feel sorry for you. They are all small things made in the mountains. I put them here for you, so we will leave first."

While talking, Shen Zhiyao took out two rabbits and three fish, put them on the ground, and the three sisters quickly turned around and left.

Shen Lizheng: "..."

This is still a little thing! This kid!

When she arrived at the patriarch's house, Shen Zhiyao also tried her best to ask the patriarch to accept the things.

Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Patriarch Shen collected the things and asked Shen Zhiyao what her plans were for the future.

"I'm going to go to the county to look for any jobs." Shen Zhiyao simply said.

After returning from Patriarch Shen's place, Shen Zhiyao said goodbye to Aunt Chen and her family, and told Aunt Chen that she was going to the county to make a living.

Seeing that she was confident, Aunt Chen couldn't help but worry.

"The county town is not only expensive, but you don't know anyone there to rely on. It will be very difficult to go to the county town."

"Don't worry, Aunt Chen. We have hands and feet, and we can always support ourselves. Although the expenses in the county are high, there are also great opportunities to make money. Otherwise, if we stay in the village, we will have no land or fields, and it will be very difficult."

Aunt Chen nodded: "That's right."

Before leaving, Aunt Chen gave Shen Zhiyao a backpack and asked her to put the box in the basket, which would be more convenient.

"Sister, I'll carry it." Shen Baiqiu took the initiative to take the basket and carry it.

Shen Zhiyao did not refuse, she held Yue Ya's hand and walked in front to lead the way.

"Let's go to the town first, and take a donkey cart to the county town." Shen Zhiyao was unwilling to walk that far this time.

Shen Baiqiu said sadly: "Sister, I need money to ride in the donkey cart."

They are now penniless and unable to sit still.

"I know." Shen Zhiyao stopped, and after Shen Baiqiu came up, she patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we have money. Last time Yue Ya and I picked a lot of mushrooms in the mountains. The mushrooms were hidden, so I went out that day or went to the county town to sell mushrooms."

Shen Yueya hummed twice quickly, opened his hands and stretched them out to gesture: "Brother, my sister and I picked a lot of mushrooms that day."

"Really?" The sadness on Shen Baiqiu's face disappeared.

"certainly!"

Of course it's fake, those mushrooms are still in her dimension.

However, I can't say.

Shen Zhiyao continued to move forward without any guilt: "Not only that, I also pawned some hidden jewelry, so we will never go hungry when we go to the county town this time."

Lihua Village is not far from the town, only three or four kilometers away. When Shen Zhiyao and the others arrived at the town, they did not wait long for the donkey cart going to the county seat.

It was still five cents per person. After paying the money, the three sisters got on the donkey cart and followed the donkey cart slowly to the county town.

The long sky is full of colorful clouds, and pedestrians welcome the twilight.

Shen Zhiyao and the others arrived at the county seat before the city gate closed.

The three of them entered the county town and went to find an inn to stay first.

Shen Zhiyao found a mid-range inn and only had one room.

After Shen Baiqiu put away the backpack, Shen Zhiyao asked the inn waiter to bring some food and hot water.

After eating, the three sisters simply washed up and then lay down and fell asleep.

The bed in the inn was not big. Shen Zhiyao and Shen Yueya slept on the bed, while Shen Baiqiu made the floor bed.

Although they didn't walk much that day, they were still very tired after being jolted by the donkey cart as if they had been doing farm work all day.

There was no smell of chicken excrement or pig excrement, and Shen Zhiyao had a good sleep.

The next day, Shen Zhiyao slept until he woke up naturally.

After waking up and taking his younger siblings to the inn lobby to eat breakfast, he took them off to a clothing store first.

Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya were still wearing patched shorts. Shen Zhiyao had planned to buy some clothes for them yesterday.

"Shopkeeper, please bring me some clothes that both of them can wear."

Shen Zhiyao randomly chose a store called Yihua Pavilion that looked pretty good.

When the female shopkeeper of Yihua Pavilion saw the clothes on Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya, she went to take out a few sets without changing her smile.

"Sir, what do you think of these sets?" The shopkeeper handed the clothes to Shen Zhiyao.

Shen Zhiyao let Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya choose.

The two of them were a little embarrassed. They both thought the clothes looked good and didn't know which one to choose.

Shen Zhiyao: "Don't be so entangled. If you like it, we can buy more sets."

"Sister, I want these two." Shen Baiqiu picked the two cheapest ones.

"How can two pieces be enough?" Shen Zhiyao knew what he was thinking, so she went over and picked out three more pieces for him.

When Shen Yueya waited, Shen Zhiyao also asked her to choose five items.

Ten pieces of clothes, a total of twenty-two cents, the shopkeeper gave them a fraction, and asked Shen Zhiyao to only give them twenty-two cents.

The price was quite fair. Shen Zhiyao paid without saying anything.

Then they each took one set for Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya to change into in the shop, and asked the shopkeeper to wrap the rest.

When Shen Baiqiu and Shen Yueya were changing clothes, a fat woman walked into Yihua Pavilion. As she came in, she cursed to herself:

"This County Magistrate Guo really deserves to die. Fortunately, the imperial envoy was wise and caught him."
