A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

When we arrived at the village entrance, we found that there were already two people sitting on the ox cart.

They were Zhang's mother and daughter. Zhang's family used to live in the neighboring village. After she came of age, her family looked for a husband for her, and she fell in love with Lin's father.

But the family disagreed, thinking that the Lin family was too poor and Lin's father was not welcome at home.

Before she could convince her family, Lin's mother got there first. The key point is that Lin's mother is prettier than her. Although she didn't want to admit it, the fact was there.

How could Zhang, who had always been proud and arrogant, tolerate this? In order to save face, she married into Zhang Laoshi's family, who lived in the same village as Lin's father.

Zhang Laoshi comes from a wealthy family, but he is too honest and dull, and he is short. He is not as good as Lin's father.

Zhang often took her anger out on him and never treated him as her husband.

Later, when she heard that Lin's father had injured his leg and his entire family was kicked out of the house, Zhang gloated over the misfortune for a while.

Every time he saw Lin's mother, he couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

Mother Lin gave old man Li four cents and let the children get on the bus.

Seeing that the whole family was going to the town, Zhang couldn't help but ridicule them: "Oh, your family has become rich! The whole family is out. What's in the basket? Are you going to sell it?" As she said that, she was about to lift the cloth covering the basket.

Lin Yiran held down Zhang's hand and said, "What's in the basket doesn't seem to have anything to do with you." This damn girl had such a strong grip that her wrist was almost broken.

"Let go. What good things can be in that broken basket of yours? I'm too lazy to look at it even if you show it to me. Our family is poor..."

Zhang's daughter Zhang Xue tugged at her mother's sleeve and secretly glanced at the second brother Lin.

Lin Yiran saw all of this. Haha, it seems that Zhang Xue has fallen in love with the second brother, but with a mother like that, she is destined not to be with the second brother.

Lin Yiran saw Zhang trying to pull her hand back and then pushed her away.

Zhang looked at the red mark on her wrist and glared at Lin Yiran fiercely.

If looks could kill, Lin Yiran would have died several times.

Uncle Li looked at the tense situation between the two men and flicked his whip, "Everyone sit tight, we are about to set off."

The ox cart started off slowly, the dirt road was bumpy and the ox cart moved slowly. The occasional bumps made Lin Yiran feel like his butt was about to break into four pieces.

It’s such a suffering. As soon as I have money, I will buy a carriage and put a thick cushion on it.

After the ox cart had been traveling for about an hour, they finally saw the city gate with three large characters "Qingyun Town" written on it.

Lin Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his aching butt and jumped off the ox cart.

Lin's mother, second brother Lin and third brother Lin also got out of the car one after another. Before getting off the car, Zhang glared at the Lin family hatefully.

But her eyes were glaring in vain, as no one in the Lin family took her seriously. It was really a waste of effort.

It was Lin Yiran's first time to visit an ancient market. She enthusiastically dragged her mother and a few others through the streets of the town.

What comes into view is the ground paved with large bluestone slabs. Walking on the smooth ground, you can look at the streets on both sides of the east and west.

There are teahouses, cloth shops, pawnshops, restaurants, rouge and powder shops, and grain and oil shops.

There are many small vendors setting up stalls in the open spaces on both sides of the street. Watching them enthusiastically selling their products to customers.

Listen to their hard shouting.

Only then did Lin Yiran feel that she was truly living in this time and space.

He touched the five cents in his pocket, which was the pocket money that Lin's mother gave him in the morning.

"Selling stinky tofu, it smells bad but tastes delicious," a burst of hawking voices reached Lin Yiran's ears.

When Lin Yiran thought of the stinky tofu she had eaten in modern times, her mouth couldn't help but secrete a lot of saliva. She really wanted to buy a few pieces to taste it.

Looking at the few coins I had in my hand, I decided to give up and wait until I sold the soap.

Having made up her mind, Lin Yiran began to observe the surrounding shops. There was a cloth shop opposite her.

Lin Yiran invited several people from the Lin family to go to the cloth shop opposite.

When the shop assistant saw them walking into his shop, his face smiled as bright as a chrysanthemum.

He quickly came over to greet them, "Dear guests, do you want to buy cloth or ready-made clothes?"

After taking a look at the clothes of the few people, the young man had an idea and led them to the counter selling cotton and coarse cloth.

Lin Yiran watched the young man enthusiastically introducing the prices of his own coarse cotton cloth and their advantages and disadvantages.

I think this young man is really talented, and he would probably be a gold medal salesperson in modern times.

"My dear sister, at your age, you are still in your prime.

This sky blue cotton cloth will make your skin look whiter and your temperament more calm.

This young man is very elegant and graceful, and this piece of sky-blue cotton cloth really suits your temperament."

"Don't be fooled by the plain appearance of this grey coarse cloth. It is dirt-resistant, sweat-absorbent and wear-resistant when worn for work."

Lin's mother and second brother were confused by the praise from the young man, and Lin Yin couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately, we didn't bring much money when we went out, otherwise we might have been tricked by this guy into buying a piece of cloth!

"We don't want to buy cloth. Can you please call your shopkeeper? I want to discuss business with him."

When the boy heard Lin Yiran say that she would not buy cloth from his family, his face immediately fell.

However, out of politeness, he forced himself to ask them to wait for a moment, and went to the backyard to find the shopkeeper.

"There is a family in Manager Liu's shop who wants to discuss business with you. Please go to the front and take a look."

Shopkeeper Liu was frightened by the waiter's loud voice and his hands shook, and the chicken leg he picked up fell back into the pot, splattering oil all over him.

He was almost mad at me because this was a new satin robe he had changed into in the morning to go out for business.

I only have three silk clothes, two of which are old.

How can I meet people in this state? The oil stains are not easy to clean. It's too late to make another one.

"Erniu, you jinx, why are you shouting so loudly? How can I go out with my clothes in this state?

You'd better have something serious to say, or I will fire you."

The young man knew he had done something wrong but dared not say a word and secretly cursed himself for being stupid.

I should have refused when the family asked me to find a shopkeeper.

Several people from the Lin family saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe rushing out from the back door, angrily and cursing.

Shopkeeper Liu saw a few people and looked them up and down to see what they were wearing.

The clothes were all made of coarse cloth that was neither new nor old. I guess they were changed specially before going out.

Several of them were thin, with pale cheeks, which was obviously caused by long-term malnutrition.

He doesn't look like a businessman, but more like a farmer.

What kind of business can this family come to me to discuss? This is just nonsense.

"What do you want from me? I'll give you a quarter of an hour. I have something else to do."

Shopkeeper Liu's tone was very unfriendly.

Mother Lin reached out and pulled Lin Yiran, looked outside the door, and motioned for her to stop talking and leave quickly.

Lin Yiran has seen all kinds of weird things in modern times, so as long as he doesn't drive them out, he will have a chance.

He then held Lin's mother's hand to comfort her.

Lin Yiran observed Manager Liu carefully and noticed that there were oil stains on his sleeves and lapels.

I guess he was just eating something greasy and soupy.

The waiter's loud voice scared the customer and dropped the food into the soup, which caused such a large area of ​​​​splattered oil.

God is really helping me! Hehe!

"Well, Manager Liu, let's cut to the chase. The oil stains on your clothes are difficult to clean using ordinary methods, right?"

Lin Yiran went straight to the point.

Seeing that Lin still didn't mention business matters, he asked him whether the stains on his clothes were easy to wash.

Shopkeeper Liu was a little confused, but he became interested in what Lin Yiran said.

"Listen girl, do you have a better way to remove the stains on my clothes?"

"Of course, the soap made with my family's exclusive secret recipe can effectively remove stubborn stains such as oil stains, blood stains, fruit stains, rust, etc.

And after washing, the clothes have a natural fragrance. "

Shopkeeper Liu then realized that this family was here to sell the soap they mentioned.

Haha, this little girl is so good at scheming. She is more like a businessman than him who has been in business for many years.

Then give them this opportunity, your clothes are made of silk.

It is not easy to clean and cannot be rubbed vigorously, otherwise it will tear easily.

"Little girl, don't be so arrogant, this is made of silk, it's very delicate.

What if your soap gets damaged?

"That's not what Manager Liu said. If you had a way to clean it up completely, you wouldn't listen to me, right?

We probably would have kicked you out a long time ago."

Seeing that his thoughts were exposed by a little girl who hadn't even fully grown her hair, Manager Liu became angry and embarrassed.

Lin Yiran changed the subject again, "But Shopkeeper Liu, you can let me have a try. If I can't wash it clean or if it's damaged, I'll compensate you with a piece of clothing.

Although my family is poor, we can still afford to pay for a piece of clothing."

Seeing that the little girl had said so much, Manager Liu didn't want to embarrass her any further.

She also came from a poor family. If she hadn't caught the eye of her employer, and later the employer's daughter, she would have been favored by him.

I don’t even know where I can find a cool corner!

"Then give it a try. If it's not clean, I won't ask you for compensation.

I am a big shopkeeper, and I don't need your little money."

This is exactly what I've been waiting for: you. Hehe, I've used this tactic of retreating to advance countless times, but it still can't work against an ancient like you.

The effectiveness of soap is unquestionable, but what if something goes wrong?

Lin Yiran would not let this happen.

"Manager Liu is so generous. There are not many good people like you."

Lin Yiran didn't forget to flatter him.

Who doesn't like to hear nice words? Shopkeeper Liu felt better and immediately went to the backyard to change his clothes.

After seeing Lin Yiran's amazing moves, several people from the Lin family gave her a thumbs up at the same time.

When Manager Liu came out again, he was still holding half a basin of water in his hand, which made the young man next to him almost drop his jaw in shock.

When did the shopkeeper become so diligent?

He was usually too lazy to pour the water for washing his face or feet, and couldn't help but look up to Lin Yiran even more.

Seeing the shopkeeper coming out with water, Third Brother Lin hurried over to take the basin.

He carried it and gently placed it in the east corner of the store.

This place is the most inconspicuous place in the entire store, and even if customers come, it will not affect normal business.

Seeing that this young man was so perceptive, Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but look up to this family.
