"It's a bit more interesting here, mother, go to the latrine."
Seeing that the tofu on the stall was almost sold out, Meng Yunniang pinched the slender hairpin in her pocket, pursed her lips, and said to her son beside her.
"Each piece of water tofu is cut according to its portion. It costs two yuan for one yuan, and one yuan for old tofu. Don't get confused."
Now there are only two pieces of water tofu and one piece of old tofu left on the stall, and Meng Yunniang is not worried about her son making a mistake.
"Um."
Jiang Liu nodded, he didn't think much about it, just thought it was the beauty who suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom, and left him alone to watch the booth. Meng Yunniang asked the women at the stall next to her to look after her sons, and then she left in peace.
The street market in the county town is very lively. On both sides of the road are small vendors carrying their own goods to sell. Many of them are country people from surrounding villages. Therefore, independent toilets will be set up on the main streets of the market for the convenience of these people. use.
Meng Yunniang turned a few turns, and instead of walking towards the hut as she said, she went to a time-honored pawn shop.
"How much silver can this hairpin be worth?"
She took out a thin silver hairpin, and it could be seen that its owner loved it very much. It was a bit old in style, but it was shiny and shiny, without any trace of oxidation. It must have been wiped and touched every night.
"It depends on whether you are dead or alive."
The old shopkeeper took over the silver hairpin. The workmanship of this hairpin is not fine. It looks heavy, but it is not pure silver. There is also a layer of copper in it, and a piece of jasper is inlaid on it. The quality of the jade is not the best. Yes, it can only be said to be normal.
"I'll give you two taels if you die, and one tael if you live, with a monthly interest of one hundred cash. If you don't redeem it within a year, the silver hairpin will belong to our pawn shop."
The price given by the shopkeeper was slightly lower than Meng Yunniang's expectations, but Meng Yunniang's hesitation eased a lot when she thought that her son still needed the money to buy the Four Treasures of the Study.
"Little lady, this silver hairpin of yours is not worth much at all. No matter which pawnshop you take it to, it is impossible to give you more than the amount I just said. You can pawn it dead or alive, and you can give me a straight line." Bar."
The shopkeeper put the silver hairpin on the counter, Meng Yunniang closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and said "Damn it".
When she came out of the pawn shop, Meng Yunniang had two and a half taels of silver in her purse, but her heart was empty.
She lost the last bit of her thoughts.
Meng Yunniang took a deep breath and walked back with heavy steps.
The past cannot be recalled. For a woman, the most important thing is always her own child¡ª¡ª
"I'll exchange this hare for these three pieces of tofu with you."
On the other side, after Meng Yunniang left, Jiang Liu welcomed his first client alone.
The other party was tall and burly, and Jiang Liu had to look up to see the other party's appearance clearly. In ancient times, when men were generally only around 1.6 meters tall, this man stood out from the crowd and stood out.
His facial features are ordinary, but it is pleasing to the eye, and the lumpy flesh can be seen even if he is dressed tightly. Jiang Liu looked at the dead rabbit who couldn't die anymore, and said a word of Amitabha silently in his heart, and then began to calculate. It is better to braise the rabbit in soy sauce, or the spicy and stir-fried one is more delicious.
Don't blame him for being greedy for meat. After coming into this body, because of his filial piety, he has never had any meat or fish. The three daily meals are either tofu or pickles.
However, the timing of this rabbit's appearance was very appropriate. Yesterday was the last day of his twenty-seven months of filial piety. Strictly speaking, he could eat meat today.
"Little brother, these three pieces of tofu don't add up to more than ten copper coins. You, a rabbit, can sell for at least one or two hundred coins. You're losing money by exchanging it like this."
Some passers-by whispered to the burly man, telling him not to foolishly let the tofu stall owner take advantage of him.
"I don't like meat, but I like tofu."
The strong man said in a low voice, and then put the rabbit into the empty bamboo basket beside Jiang Liu.
"There are still people who don't like meat."
The old man who mentioned the strong man muttered something, shook his head and left, talking to a fool, he was afraid that he would become a fool too.
"My mother is not here, why don't you wait for my mother to come back and discuss with my mother yourself."
Jiang Liu had already recognized the person coming. Isn¡¯t the burly man in front of him the Hu Guirong who in the original body¡¯s memory kept arguing with Meng Yunniang? He is not as pedantic as the original body. I feel that his mother should guard his father. If Meng Yunniang can really reconnect with Hu Guirong, Jiang Liu will be happy.On the night my mother got married, her son cried all night in the house, and she tossed and turned with her eyes open all night.
The next morning, my son went hunting in the mountains like no one else, and took care of her daily life.
She didn't see all of this, but she heard it all.
"Yunniang is a good girl. If she is willing to remarry, I will love her as my own daughter. I will never say anything against her as a widow. If she is willing to bring her children, I will love her as my own grandson."
The blind lady also heard the news that Yunniang had become a widow. Although she felt sorry for the man in front of Yunniang, the blind lady felt in her heart that this was her son's chance.
"Mother, don't think about it, I'm fine."
Hu Guirong smiled wryly, just as Yunniang understood him, he also understood Yunniang.
The Jiang family would not allow her to remarry with Tofu Fangzi and the descendants of the Jiang family. For the sake of her son, Yunniang would not marry him either.
The fate between him and her may be so shallow, as long as he can watch from a distance and help her occasionally, he will be satisfied. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
