On the way to Xie's house, Shunniang wanted to laugh for no reason, because Xie Erniang, who was ordered by her mother to invite her, was walking about ten steps behind her.This was Xie Erniang's idea, let Shunniang go forward, and she followed behind, Shunniang wondered if this girl was afraid that her words would not count, worried that she would slip away after her, and she would have nowhere to look for her.This little thoughtfulness really made Shunniang feel that Little Pepper is still an innocent girl. Although she herself is not much older than Xie Erniang, she thinks that her psychological age is much more mature than Xie Erniang.

Not to mention, Xie Erniang really did what Shunniang thought in her heart, but she also had other thoughts, which she couldn't figure out.

When her mother insisted that she come to Xi's house to ask Xi Erlang to go to Xie's house for dinner, she hesitated, and her mother said a few words, saying that she should not let her younger brother Saburo go to Xi's house to call someone.Xie Erniang said that she could ask the shop assistant to go, but her mother said that they were busy with business and had no time, so she insisted on calling for someone.

Originally, she came to Xi's house and passed on her mother's words to Xi Erlang, and then she could leave, but who knew that Xi Erlang had no sense at all, so he directly refused, saying that he didn't want to go.

For some reason, Erniang Xie felt extremely wronged by his cold refusal. She knew that this man, her parents wanted to pick a son-in-law for her, and Xijia Erlang should be one of them.She is not a completely ignorant girl, after all, she is fourteen, and she will be married next year. What her mother always talks about is that she should quickly find a suitable family to marry. Compared with the other party's family background, Obviously, her parents valued this person's appearance and character more.His father often said that the Xie family is not short of money, so the son-in-law he finds for his daughter must be good-looking and good-natured, this is the most important thing.

As for herself, she secretly thought that if she really wanted to marry someone in the future, then this person must be someone she liked.

Kijiro...

She felt that she didn't seem to hate him, except that he was rescued by him in the river at the beginning, and he spoke badly, and she had a bad impression of him at that time.Later, after talking to him a few more times, Xie Erniang felt that this person was not bad.In particular, she always thought that he was diligent and honest. Many times, when Xi Erlang passed by Xie's butcher shop carrying firewood, Xie Erniang would look at him more when he saw it.In addition, a secret hidden in her heart that is not humane is that she feels that her breasts have been touched by Kijiro, so she doesn't want to care about Kijiro, but she has to.

Under such a complicated and contradictory psychology, Xie Erniang's words and actions were magnified in Xie Erniang's heart, making it easy for her to care about them.Just like when Kijiro refused her to go to Xie's house for dinner, she couldn't help thinking that it must be that Kijiro didn't like her very much, that's why he said that.She also thought, Xierlang really holds a grudge, is he still thinking about the last time he rescued himself by the river, he said bad words to him?

Fortunately, Xierlang later changed his mind and was willing to follow her to Xie's house, so she was not so entangled and uncomfortable.

She asked Kijiro to go ahead, and Kijiro listened to her and was willing to go ahead, so she calmed down. However, she really wanted to ask him what happened to the bruise on his face, but she couldn't speak. But he couldn't open his mouth.As if opening her mouth would reveal her thoughts.But this desire to inquire is like a cat hiding in her chest, constantly scratching her chest, it's so itchy...

On the road from Xi's house to Xie's house, Shun Niang walked easily, but Er Niang Xie walked with a lot of tenderness.

When she was approaching Xie's butcher shop, Shunniang stopped and waited for Erniang Xie to come forward. After all, she was a guest, so it was impossible for her to walk into other people's homes without being led by the owner.

As for Xie Erniang, when she saw Xi Erlang stopped and looked back at herself, she understood what it meant, so she quickly walked to Xi Erlang's side, and said to him, "Come with me."

The two walked into Xie's butcher's shop. Xie Erniang led him directly upstairs. Upstairs, her parents were entertaining Xierlang's mother and sister-in-law. Seeing Shunniang go in, Xie Yi greeted her first, and then saw him. The bruise on his face asked Shunniang how she got it.

Shunniang said what she had prepared earlier, but because of the rain when chopping firewood, she fell and injured herself.

Wu hurriedly asked concerned, except for the injury on the face, was there no other injury?

Shunniang smiled and said that other places are fine, she turned her arms and kicked her legs as she spoke to show that her words were true.

Xie Yi invited Shun Niang to the table and drank and talked with him, while Wu Shi and Xie Er Niang invited Liu Shi and Qi Shi to eat.

The two families had a happy meal together. Xie's family resigned from Xie's family and went home. Along the way, Mrs. Liu was saying good things about Xie's family. In her eyes, Xie's family was all good people. Even the impression of Xie Erniang has completely changed, no longer saying that she is rude and in a hurry, but that she treats people warmly and beautifully, who knows which family will be lucky enough to marry her as a wife in the future.

Shunniang and Mrs. Qi just listened silently. They both knew that Mrs. Liu had a good meal at Xie's house today, and she was in a good mood. Just listen to these words.

Back home, Shunniang told her mother and sister-in-law that she would not go to the city for the next few days, and would wait until the wound on her face was almost healed before going to the city.

Mrs. Liu asked Shunniang incomprehensibly, the bruises on her face did not hinder the sales of firewood and fish, after all, she did not hurt her hands and feet, why she didn't go there these few days.

Of course, Shunniang couldn't tell the real reason, she just said that she wanted to rest for a few days and wait for the bean sprouts at home by the way.

After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Liu couldn't say anything more. After all, people are more important than money. Since she lost her husband and son, she thinks so more and more.

With the bruises on her face, Shunniang went up the mountain to cut firewood for two days in a row. Although she couldn't go to the city to sell firewood, it didn't delay her cutting firewood. She got up early every morning, went up the mountain to cut two loads of firewood, and returned to dry in her yard. In the afternoon, I will sleep at home and play with the children, talk with my mother and sister-in-law, and then go to see how the bean sprouts she put in the wicker basket in the woodshed are growing.

On this day, she counted the days, and it was the fifth day that the bean sprouts had been sprouted. After lunch, she helped her sister-in-law wash the dishes, and then she went into the woodshed, uncovered the black cloth on the wicker basket, and was pleasantly surprised to find The bean sprouts she sent out for the first time really grew into the bean sprouts in her heart.Although these bean sprouts didn't look very good, unlike the bundles of bean sprouts she saw sold by others, they were about the same thickness and length, and they were still straight.Hers, though stout, looked like a tangled weed.

Although it was a mess of grass, Shunniang was also very happy. After all, it was the first time she sprouted bean sprouts according to her childhood memory, and it was successful.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi heard that she was going to collect bean sprouts, and they also excitedly followed her into the firewood room. They were nervous when they stared at Shunniang as she lifted the black cloth from the wicker basket, for fear that the sprouts would not come out. , so that their hope of earning some money at home will be defeated.Fortunately, after Shunniang uncovered the black cloth, they saw the luxuriant seed growing like a weed, which was called bean sprouts in Shunniang's mouth.Whether it's bean sprouts or seeds, they know that Shunniang has succeeded!So they all laughed happily like Shun Niang.

Shunniang even pinched a few soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts and put them in their mouths to chew. Seeing this, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi also did what Shunniang did. Mrs. Liu said with a smile while biting, "It's so crispy! It's so fragrant!"

Qi Shi also cheerfully said that the taste is very good.

Shunniang said: "We have to use a scale to weigh it, and calculate how many soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts can be produced per catty."

Mrs. Liu glanced at the bean sprouts in the two wicker baskets and said, "Mother, I see that mung beans are more than half as much as soybeans."

Qi Shi also said so.

Shun Niang said: "Well, I'll go buy a scale and come back to weigh it. Anyway, if we distribute bean sprouts and sell them in the future, we will have to weigh them for others."

Mrs. Qi asked Shunniang, are you determined to do this business?

Shunniang knew what the old lady meant, and she was reluctant to buy a scale because it cost money.

So Shunniang nodded resolutely, and said that it had been decided, since this business was going to be done, it would be better to buy a scale at home.

After finishing speaking, she went out, planning to buy a scale from a shop selling scales on the street.

As soon as he went out, he ran into the wife of the Zhao family next door, and saw her coming in a panic. Seeing Shunniang, she immediately stepped forward to hold her back, begging her to help save the Zhao family's father and son.

Shunniang felt strange, so she said that she didn't know how to fight, and she had no power, and she didn't know what happened to the father and son of the Zhao family, so why the wife of the Zhao family wanted to beg her.

The wife of the Zhao family wiped away her tears and said, "My official and my Sanlang were detained by the rascals in Qi Dalang's gambling workshop, saying that their father and son lost a lot of money in the gambling workshop..."

Shunniang didn't wait for her to finish, and answered: "Since you lost the money, you should use the money to redeem people. I can't help you. I have dozens of pennies on you. If you want to borrow it, then I will give it to you." I can lend it to you."

The wife of the Zhao family waved her hand and cried: "Xijia Erlang, I don't want to borrow your money, I just want you to accompany me to go to Qi Dalang's gambling shop and say something nice to that Qi Dalang, and he will let me go Officials and Saburo."

Shunniang frowned, and asked puzzledly: "Why did he release me when I went to see Qi Dalang? Qi Dalang and I are strangers to each other!"
