Chapter 468 Chen Hongxia Meets a Dog
"Okay, go inside and have a rest. I'll ask the waiter to bring a basin of hot water. You've walked too much, so be careful or your feet will hurt tomorrow. You can soak them in water later." Meng Bujiu and Jiang Fubao went to the second floor.
He stopped outside the door but did not go in.
The groom had already rested in the backyard.
He slept on a large bunk bed and didn't charge any money because it was included in the horse feed.
After soaking his feet, Jiang Fubao was too lazy to even wash his face and just lay down on the bed to sleep.
I am really tired today. I have been shopping and eating all day.
As soon as my head touched the pillow, I fell asleep.
The same is true for Xue Huan.
The oil lamp on the table didn't go out until the wick burned out and it went out by itself.
Before dawn, at the entrance of Jiangjia Village thousands of miles away, a plump girl was walking quickly forward with a bamboo basket on her back.
Although she was not thin, her steps were as light as a swallow and powerful, as if she was full of strength.
You can tell from this energetic look that he has plenty of energy.
This person is Chen Hongxia.
Yesterday, when she was picking up firewood in the mountains, she accidentally caught a wounded pheasant.
I wanted to take it home to make soup for my sister-in-law and nourish her body at the same time, but my sister-in-law's mother passed away. My second brother accompanied her back to her mother's house and asked someone to bring a message saying that they would have to stay for three days. The injured pheasant would not be able to survive that time.
Chen Hongxia thought about taking it to the town to sell it early in the morning, and using the money to buy some brown sugar for her sister-in-law.
So, she set out before dawn.
As I walked, the cold wind in the early morning scraped across my cheeks like a sharp knife.
Chen Hongxia, who was sweating all over, didn't feel cold at all.
Her pace was still fast.
Finally, we arrived at the city gate at noon.
At this moment, the city gate has been opened, and the officials are checking everyone entering and leaving the city one by one.
Chen Hongxia was at the end of the line.
Enter in sequence.
To sell pheasants, you have to go to Zao Nao Lane in Caishi Street.
It was cold in winter, and nothing could be grown in the fields except radishes and cabbages, so there were more than half of the people selling vegetables. Therefore, they chose their location at random. Chen Hongxia chose a place with a little more people, put down her backpack, and shouted loudly.
"Everyone, come and have a look. I have a living pheasant that I just caught yesterday. There is only one of it. I also have some freshly dug winter bamboo shoots, which are plump. Come and buy them. I will leave after I sell them all." Chen Hongxia's voice was very loud.
Most of the people who come to this alley are women, all of whom come to buy vegetables.
Hearing her voice, people gathered around.
During the Si hour, all the winter bamboo shoots and pheasants were sold out.
Chen Hongxia carried the empty backpack and hid the money from selling chickens and winter bamboo shoots in her socks.
He just kept a few coins in his hand and went to buy buns happily.
She never lets her mouth go unpunished.
Every time she came to the town to sell things, as long as she made money, she would reward herself with a meat bun or steamed bun.
Otherwise, there would be more money stored in the house.
After buying buns on the street and paying, she grabbed the plump white meat bun and took big bites of it.
I finished eating the buns before I even walked out of the alley.
He looks so bold and just like a chivalrous hero.
Chen Hongxia walked into Wugu Lane and asked at all the shops selling brown sugar. Finally, she chose the cheapest one. After buying buns and brown sugar with the money she paid for the chicken and winter bamboo shoots, she was only left with ten copper coins.
Chen Hongxia was in no hurry to go back.
Instead, she went to the Cloth Street, as she had always wanted to buy a handkerchief.
But I couldn't bear to do so, and I was busy getting engaged to the Zhang family, so I hadn't taken care of this matter.
There is no need to get married now, just spend money when necessary.
Besides, the injured pheasant was caught without much effort.
It's like giving it for free.
Thinking of this, Chen Hongxia suddenly felt that she didn't feel sorry at all for spending the money.
There are many shops in the Ornamental Cloth Street, but Chen Hongxia and her family did not go in. She just wandered around the stalls on both sides of the street.
The things sold on the stalls are not much different from those in the shops, but the prices are much cheaper.
After shopping for fifteen minutes, she still didn't buy anything. After all, she only had ten copper coins, so she had to choose carefully and try to pay more.
The time came to the end of the Si hour.
She finally picked out a handkerchief. Although the fabric was ordinary, the flowers embroidered on it were beautiful.
And it was at a bargain price, only eight copper coins.
It met her psychological expectations.
"This handkerchief was embroidered by my eldest daughter. It's pretty good, right?" After handing over the money and the goods to the stall owner, the stall owner said to Chen Hongxia with a smile.
The pride in her eyes was about to overflow.
"It's more than good, it's so beautiful. If it was embroidered on good fabric, it would cost at least a hundred bucks. It's a pity that I don't have much money, otherwise I wouldn't have come here until now. But I was able to buy such a beautiful handkerchief, so my visit was worth it."
Chen Hongxia is poor, but she doesn't feel inferior at all.
Her generous look and sweet mouth made the stall owner grin from ear to ear.
"You are really good at talking, girl. Here, I'll give you this scrap of cloth. Don't be polite with me." The stall owner was very generous.
He actually stuffed a piece of coarse cloth bigger than a handkerchief into Chen Hongxia's hand.
This piece of cloth can be used to make two shoe uppers.
Chen Hongxia was immediately pleasantly surprised.
So, the free praises continued for a long time before she left with her teeth bared.
Today, after selling pheasants and winter bamboo shoots, buying everything she needed, and eating meat buns, Chen Hongxia felt very satisfied.
It's getting late.
It was already early noon when she left Shibu Street and prepared to leave the city.
However, just as she reached the fork in the street, she saw someone she never wanted to see in her life.
Zhang Jiabao!
He was hugging a pretty woman and seemed to want to go to the food street.
Chen Hongxia wanted to pretend that she didn't know him and turned around to leave.
But he was stopped by Zhang Jiabao.
"Bitch, you've made me suffer!" Seeing that Chen Hongxia was alone, Zhang Jiabao actually stopped her on the spot.
He even cursed loudly.
It seemed that he was certain that Chen Hongxia would not dare to talk back.
"Why would I harm you? God is watching what you do. If you don't do it, how can I harm you?" Chen Hongxia was not panicked at all.
She didn't do anything wrong.
What are you afraid of?
"If your family hadn't come to me, I wouldn't be able to hold my head up in front of the neighbors. You've screwed me over so badly. Do you really think I want to marry you? Look at your looks. You're not even a bit better than my Yan'er. If it weren't for her, you, a village woman, wouldn't even be worthy of licking my feet!"
Zhang Jiabao originally just wanted to vent his anger, curse a few words and then leave.
Seeing Chen Hongxia being so confident, he suddenly became angry.
"If you want to hold your head high, then don't hide your concubine from others. You dare to do it but not to take responsibility. What kind of man are you? I'm licking your feet. What a joke. Your stinky feet are so stinky that even a dog would find them smelly. You are so arrogant that people who don't know you would think you are a scholar. No, even a scholar wouldn't talk as arrogantly as you. What a piece of shit!"
Chen Hongxia has also seen the world.
Isn’t Jiang Jia Liulang the scholar?
When he speaks to others, he is very polite, unlike Zhang Jiabao in front of him, who swears all the time.
There's nothing manly about it.
She despises this kind of people the most.
If her second brother was around, she guessed Zhang Jiabao would not dare to stop her.
