In the year of disaster, the tough peasant girl is not easy to mess with

Ye Lingyao didn't say anything, but just said, "Aunt Li, please stop trying to persuade us. This is what we have agreed upon. If they don't even have enough to eat, how can they have the strength to help us with work? We are the same here. Think about yourself."

After hearing what he said, Aunt Li couldn't say anything else.

But he turned his attention to Ye Lingzhi again.

I don’t know if this girl can be the head of the family. Shouldn’t she ask her brother’s opinion?

Ye Lingzhi just nodded in agreement and said nothing.

Aunt Li looked at them one by one and probably understood what these two people were thinking.

It seems that the two people should have discussed this long ago, which is fine.

After Ye Lingyao settled the matter, she was ready to leave.

As soon as the two stood up, they saw another thin and frail woman walking in from the door.

He looks young, about ten years old.

He was thin and frail. When he saw so many people in the yard, he immediately lowered his head, with a hint of cowardice on his face.

"Mom, there are guests at home."

As soon as everyone turned around, they saw a little girl standing outside the door, her voice as low as a mosquito's.

Aunt Li didn't think anything was wrong. She just smiled and waved, "Taohua, you're back. It's your brother and sister from the Ye family who are here. You've met the brother from the Ye family. This is his sister, who is younger than you." My name is Ling Yao."

Taohua raised her head and glanced at the two of them, then quickly lowered her head, "Brother Ye, sister Lingyao."

Ye Lingyao smiled and said, "Sister Taohua, you called him wrong. You should call him Brother Ye. He is not the boss."

Taohua was stunned, and subconsciously looked up, a little confused, but when her eyes met Ye Lingyao, she subconsciously smiled on her face.

However, before she could say anything, she heard the cry of a child in the back room.

Taohua's face changed, and she hurriedly put down the small backpack on her body and said, "Mom, please help me take the backpack in. My sister is crying, I will go and take a look."

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

The two of them didn't stay any longer, so they stood up and left.

Ye Lingyao took out five taels of silver from her purse and handed it over, "Aunt Li, I'll leave this money to you. You can use it first. If you don't have enough, come and get it from me."

Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, looking at the heavy weight on her hand, she was frightened.

"Hey, girl Lingyao, this is a lot, and we don't need so much money."

Ye Lingyao hurriedly returned the money as she said that she wanted to return it, "Auntie, just take it and use it first. We don't know if we will be in the village during this period. If you don't take it now, we will wait until later. If you can't find us, it will really delay things."

Aunt Li thought for a while and finally collected the money.

There is no way, their family doesn't have much money. If they don't take the money, they may really have no money to buy vegetables and meat.

After the two returned, they decided to go to the county town first and buy some needed things. At least they had to go to the city to buy some paper and return it to the village chief.

The two agreed to go to the county town together.

The bullock cart in the village was borrowed to haul materials, so the two of them could only walk.

Fortunately, Beiqing Village is not far from Anyang County.

The two of them arrived in less than an hour.

After arriving, I went straight to my destination and first went to a calligraphy and painting shop to buy some paper.

She was also speechless for a while.

No wonder people say that raising scholars in ancient times cost a lot of money. Is it possible that it doesn’t cost money?

She just bought a few pieces of paper, which cost her more than three taels of silver.

She was beating her chest in distress.

She complained helplessly, "Why do you think this paper is so expensive? Does no one care about it?"

Ye Lingzhi looked at her inexplicably, "Everything is low-grade, only if you are good at reading, would you think it was strange if this thing is not expensive?"

Ye Lingyao was also helpless.

Learning is valuable than anything else.

But how many people can actually study and become officials?

There are tens of thousands of people in the entire county, and there is only one county magistrate. All the officials combined only have this number of people.

The world is made up of many industries and many people working together.

If you only rely on reading, what should you do if you fight a war?

You can't go up and talk people to death.

Of course, he couldn't say these words, otherwise, it would be disrespectful.

Putting aside what happened to others, if these words reached the mouth of officials, she might not even be able to leave the county.

She said silently in her mind, "Be careful what you say and do."

The four words "be cautious in words and deeds" must be implemented in place.

You must not let yourself get involved just because you are quick to talk.

After reciting silently, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Fortunately, we have bought it. We can slowly cut it after we get back. Where should we go now? Do you have anything else to buy?"

Ye Lingzhi thought for a while and said, "Buy a bow. We also need it for hunting."

Ye Lingyao's eyes lit up, "Yes! Come on, let's go to the iron shop now and have a look."

After saying that, he pulled her forward. This street was a bit far away from the house that sold ironware.

The two of them walked and stopped along the way and had a meal before arriving at the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith was still holding a sledgehammer in his hand. When he saw the two people approaching, he didn't pay attention to them. It wasn't until he stopped that he asked, "If the two young guests want to see something, just go around by yourself."

The two of them had just seen him hammering there, and they were stunned for a moment and forgot to go in and take a look.

Hearing him speak, he quickly came to his senses and followed him to the store.

The two of them were stunned as soon as they entered.

Most of the things outside were farm tools. They didn't know how to farm, and they weren't of much use.

On the contrary, inside, there are all kinds of weapons.

There are long knives in the big ones and daggers in the small ones.

Ye Lingyao watched with great interest.

As soon as Ye Lingzhi entered, he saw a bow hanging on the wall, pointed at it and asked, "Uncle, how can I sell that bow?"

The blacksmith took one look and said, "Young man, you have good taste. This bow is the best in my shop and the one I am most satisfied with. I have never been willing to sell it."

Ye Lingyao asked, "Then are you willing to give up now?"

The blacksmith smiled and said, "I can't bear to part with it. I won't sell this one. This is the treasure of my shop. You can look at others!"

Ye Lingzhi was a little disappointed, "Forget it, I still fell in love with this one. If this one doesn't work, there is no need to look again."

Ye Lingyao didn't understand his thoughts.

Since they don’t sell them, wouldn’t it be nice to choose a suitable one?

They have already decided, so how can they say not to buy it temporarily?
