When the pears are green

At this time, Jiang Qingzhou, who was known as a powerful man by everyone, was standing at a crossroads in frustration. The thief who stole Ruyi's purse disappeared in a flash like a fish in the water.

Zhang Jixiang, who was a little tired of running, came over and patted Jiang Qingzhou on the shoulder and said, "Qingzhou, we can't catch up. Let's go back."

Jiang Qingzhou knew that there was no other way but to go back, so he asked, "Brother Jixiang, how much money is in Ruyi's purse?"

Zhang Jixiang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he gestured with his hand and said, "Ruyi had saved up fifteen copper coins for a long time. It was stolen before we even got to the grocery store."

After Zhang Jixiang finished speaking, he took out his purse and looked at his twenty copper coins with a bit of heartache. He took out five copper coins from it and stuffed them into his sleeve, then handed the purse to Jiang Qingzhou and said, "Give this to Ruyi and tell her that she found it. My purse is similar to hers. She spent half a year embroidering handkerchiefs to get those fifteen copper coins. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, don't make her sad."

Jiang Qingzhou took the purse, and then took out ten copper coins from his own purse and handed them to Zhang Jixiang. He said to Zhang Jixiang: "Ruyi often helps our family make things, let's chip in. If you want to raise the child, you pay five copper coins and I pay ten copper coins. Let's go back quickly and don't let Ruyi and the others wait anxiously."

When Jiang Qingzhou saw that Zhang Jixiang didn't take it, he stuffed the copper coin into Zhang Jixiang's hand and said to him, "If you are polite to me, I will tell Ruyi the truth."

Zhang Jixiang looked at Jiang Qingzhou helplessly, put the copper coin into his sleeve, and followed Jiang Qingzhou to the stall.

When Jiang Qingzhou and the others returned to the stall, Ruyi had already recovered her composure. She and Song Yue were helping Song Li sell bean sprouts.

Jiang Qingzhou walked over, handed the purse to Ruyi, and said to her, "We caught the thief, got the purse back, and then released him. Keep it safe this time, you may not be so lucky next time."

As soon as Jiang Qingzhou finished speaking, everyone looked at him.

Song Li glanced at everyone and quickly said to Jiang Qingzhou, "Qingzhou, Master Li came here just now. He said he found a purse at his doorstep, but it was empty. He saw the flowers embroidered on it looked familiar, and he remembered that he had seen it at Ruyi's house before, so he thought it must belong to Ruyi, so he found us and brought it to us."

After Song Li finished speaking, Ruyi took out his empty purse from his sleeve.

Jiang Qingzhou suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know whether he should take back the purse or continue to give it to Ruyi.

Song Li looked at Jiang Qingzhou and Zhang Jixiang who were feeling uncomfortable. She took the purse and put it in Ruyi's hand. She said to Ruyi, "Ruyi, take another look. Did you make a mistake just now?"

Ruyi took a closer look and recognized that it was Zhang Jixiang's purse, so she handed the purse to Zhang Jixiang.

After Zhang Jixiang took the money bag, he rubbed his nose and said to Ruyi: "Well, we didn't catch up, and we were afraid that you would be sad, so we helped you get some money together."

After hearing this, Ruyi rubbed her face with both hands, then raised her head and said to Zhang Jixiang and Jiang Qingzhou with a smile: "Thank you, brother, thank you, brother Dahu, I am not sad anymore. I still have handkerchiefs to sell, and I will have money again after I sell them."

Zhang Jixiang reached out and rubbed Ruyi's head, then opened his purse, took out ten copper coins and stuffed them into Jiang Qingzhou's hand. He smiled and said to Ruyi and Song Yue, "Come on, I'll take you to make money."

After hearing this, Ruyi and Song Yue smiled at each other, then picked up their own baskets, said goodbye to Song Li and the others, and followed Zhang Jixiang to the grocery store again.

When Song Xing saw Jiang Qingzhou coming back, he also returned to his own stall from Jiang Qingye's place.

Not long after Ruyi left, a woman who had been watching the fun came over and said to Jiang Qingzhou, "Young man, you are a really nice person. Are you married? I have a daughter at home who is about your age..."

Jiang Qingzhou interrupted the woman quickly under Song Li's teasing gaze. He pulled Song Li over and said to her, "Aunt, this is my wife."

The woman glanced at Song Li, then smiled and said to Jiang Qingzhou, "Young man, you are just joking. I clearly heard that little girl calling you brother and her sister, and the girl even had her hair in a bun."

After hearing this, Jiang Qingzhou touched the silk flower on Song Li's head and said with a smile, "It will be there soon."

The woman then realized that the couple in front of her were already engaged. She smiled sheepishly, then pointed at the mung bean sprouts and said to Song Li, "You are so lucky, little girl. Please weigh me three pounds of bean sprouts."

Jiang Qingzhou released Song Li's arm. Song Li weighed bean sprouts for the woman and said with a smile, "I'll give you more. Your taste is as good as mine."

After Song Li finished speaking, she quickly glanced at Jiang Qingzhou.

After hearing this, the woman burst into laughter. She said to Song Li, "This little girl is really generous. If it were any other little girl, she would have cursed me in her heart."

Song Li put the weighed bean sprouts into the woman's basket, and then said to her, "That's his natural shining point. It's normal that he can attract others. Auntie, you have to eat all the bean sprouts today. Don't leave them until tomorrow, or you'll get an upset stomach."

After hearing this, the woman nodded and paid the money. Then she went to Jiang Qingzhou and bought twenty eggs before leaving.

Jiang Qingzhou kept looking at Song Li after the woman left. When Song Li noticed it, she raised her hands above her head and made a loving gesture to him. Although Jiang Qingzhou didn't understand what this meant, he also felt Song Li's happiness from the bottom of her heart, and he felt relieved.

Today is the first day of the big market. Villagers from nearby villages and even people from the neighboring towns and counties will come here, so there is a huge flow of people.

Song Li stood on the side of the road and looked around when there were few people around. She saw someone selling bean sprouts about two hundred meters away from her.

Song Li told Song Xing to watch the stall, and she walked to another stall selling bean sprouts. When the stall owner saw Song Li, he hurriedly said, "Little girl, do you want bean sprouts?"

Song Li looked around and saw that the only things on sale here were bean sprouts, which were about the same quality as hers. She smiled and asked the stall owner, "Brother, how much is one pound?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "I sell it cheaply, three cents a pound, five cents two pounds."

After hearing this, Song Li understood why her bean sprouts were not selling well. She smiled and said to the stall owner, "It's too expensive, brother, I don't want it anymore."

After Song Li finished speaking, she turned around and walked back. Song Li thought to herself that it was a good thing that there would be more mung bean sprouts at home tomorrow.

After Song Li returned to the stall, she said to Song Xing, "Xiao Xing, our soybean sprouts are also sold at five cents per two kilograms, and the price of mung bean sprouts remains the same."

As the flow of people continued to increase, more and more people came to ask about the price. Regardless of whether the other party wanted to buy or not, Song Li greeted and sent them off with a smile.

When the bean sprouts were almost sold out, Song Li felt that her face was frozen from smiling. Song Li patted her face, looked at the remaining bean sprouts, and decided to share the remaining bean sprouts with Jiang Qingzhou and Ruyi.

Song Li looked at the sun hanging high above her head and saw that some vendors around her had already started to pack up their stalls.

Song Li touched her bulging purse carefully and secretly, fearing that others would see her and try to steal her purse.

At this time, Song Xing came over and said to Song Li: "Sister, I'm a little hungry."

Song Li wanted to let Song Xing eat the pancakes she brought from home, but after seeing Song Xing's tired face, Song Li shouted to the pancake stand opposite: "Boss, I want seven pancakes."

After hearing this, the stall owner across the street quickly took seven sesame cakes for Song Li, walked over and handed them to her, saying, "Here, young lady. Seven cents."

Song Li thanked him and paid the stall owner.

Song Li first distributed the sesame cakes to Song Xing and Jiang Qingzhou, who had just had some free time. While eating, she wondered why Song Yue and the others hadn't come back yet.
