Chapter 005 Li's Beaten

The family was divided, but there were still many things to buy, and all of them were lacking. So Miao asked Zhou to go to the town to buy daily necessities with him.

Ji Wan frowned, "Mom, I'd better go, you'll take care of Arong and Aheng at home."

Zhou is a famous beauty and has a weak temperament. What if he is seen by someone with ulterior motives when he goes out?

Ji Wan inherited the advantages of her parents, and her facial features were outstanding, with an oval face, willow leaves, eyebrows, red and phoenix eyes. However, due to long-term malnutrition, she has a pale face, thin skin, short, and young age. She has not yet grown completely. At most, she is a beautiful little girl, which is not so eye-catching.

Seeing that Zhou wanted to object, she said again: "Mom, what if you are not at home, my third aunt comes to bully us again? If we quarrel with her, she will definitely say that we are disrespectful to our elders. You are different. You are her sister-in-law. If she dares to play tricks, you have the qualifications to teach her a lesson."

She said and winked at her sister Ji Rong, and Ji Rong nodded repeatedly.

"Mom, let my sister go. There will be no trouble if you have the aunt on the way."

Zhou has always been kind-hearted and does not know how to refuse others, and has no opinion. Yesterday, she proposed to split up because her daughter was almost killed by someone. She couldn't bear it anymore. In addition, there was an aunt who was fighting against her grandmother and third aunt, so she barely held on to her and couldn't let go. The cowardice in her bones could not be completely changed for a while. Seeing that the two daughters agreed, she hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

"You remember to go and go back early and don't stay outside."

"I know, mom."

Zhou gave her three taels of silver and told her what she wanted to buy, so she sent her to the big house.

There are more than ten miles of Liyi Village in Langui Town, and it takes an hour to walk the ox cart.

It's cold and there are not many pedestrians on the street.

"Awan, if you want to buy cloth, I will take you to the cloth shop first, and then buy other ones."

Miao was worried that she would be cheated of money at a young age and accompanied her with considerate support.

Ji Wan said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle."

Before Ji Hai finished the furniture that he gave to others, he left first and made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the town after an hour.

The two walked to a ready-to-wear shop, and the waiter came over to greet him enthusiastically, but did not look down on others because of their poor clothes.

"We have everything in our store. What do you need to order?"

Ji Wan looked at the colorful cloth and asked, "Brother, how do you sell the cloth in your store?"

"There are twelve quotas per foot of raw silk, ten quotas per foot of linen cloth, forty-seven quotas per foot of cotton cloth, eleven quotas per foot of cotton cloth, sixty-six quotas per foot of cotton silk, and thirty-six quotas per foot of silk cut."

The waiter was very attentive.

Ji Wan asked again: "How much does a pound of cotton cost?"

"Seventy Months."

The Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated in more than a month, and the weather is getting colder and you need to add cotton coats.

Ji Wan walked to the place where the cotton cloth was piled and picked four reds of varying shades, "each color is five feet, and another ten kilograms of cotton is bought."

Twenty feet of cotton cloth equals 220 cents and ten kilograms of cotton 700 cents. Then I bought two more silk quilts, 1,020 cents.

"How much does a pair of shoes cost?"

"Twenty-seven text for cotton shoes, one hundred text for silk cotton shoes."

Silk cotton is too expensive, Ji Wan bought four pairs of cotton shoes, a total of 108 cereals.

A total of 2,048 ceremonies were sold. She bought a lot. When checking out, the shopkeeper specially waived her a fraction of 48 ceremonies and only charged two taels of silver.

Ji Wan paid the money very simply.

The backpack was too small, so I could only barely hold ten kilograms of cotton. The rest of Miao helped her get the rest.

Then the two went to the grocery store not far away to buy oil, salt, sugar, sauce, vinegar, dogwood, pepper, as well as fennel, cloves, cinnamon, fennel, flower fragrance and other seasonings, and spent another 150 cents.

Half a pound of tea and sixty cents.

I have to buy iron.

But the two of them could no longer get it, so they returned to the entrance of the town, put all the things they bought into the ox cart, and went to the iron shop again.

Iron fifteen cents per pound, two pots are eight pounds. Add a kitchen knife and a bone-cutting knife, forty cents, and the total is 160 cents.

Today I spent a total of 2,200 to 370 cents, which is enough for a family of three to spend a year in the countryside.

Miao asked curiously: "Awan, why did you buy so much iron?"

"I want to make a pot and set aside."

Ji Wan blinked playfully and kept her back.

Miao smiled and didn't ask much. She bought less than Ji Wan's, and spent less than two hundred yuan in total.

When the few people drove the ox cart back to Yi Village, it was almost noon.

As soon as I got home, I saw Li sitting at the gate of the yard picking vegetables.

The Li family and his daughter were ordered by Liu to go to the river to wash clothes early in the morning, and deeply felt the coldness of the river. The mother and daughter never do housework, and suddenly touched cold water, and were so cold that they shivered.

Ji Yun was about to cry, and Liu scolded him.

"You are so embarrassed to cry? If you hadn't pushed Ji Wan into the river, could she be so arrogant? It was all your troubles, you, a slut, and you can't wash it clean and don't think about eating at noon."

Li protected her daughter in her arms and said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, Ayun is only eight years old..."

"You go feed me the chickens."

Liu still remembered that Li wanted to kick herself away when he was separated yesterday. He immediately turned all his anger to her when he heard this.

"After feeding the chickens, picking the vegetables, and then cooking. I dare to be lazy and see how I deal with you!"

Her face was really scary, and Li was frightened by the fright.

When Liu instructed Zhou, she was gloating and gloating when she saw it, and it was her turn to realize that it was painful and hard to describe.

She didn't want to do it, but when she thought of Ji Yuan's threat yesterday, she was afraid.

"I'll help Ayun wash her clothes first before going..."

"Go now!"

Liu's tone was unquestionable, and he stared at her fiercely, and as long as she didn't go, he could kick her at any time.

Li's face turned pale, but he had no choice but to leave under the tearful eyes of his daughter. As soon as he got up, he felt aching back and almost couldn't stand steadily.

"What are you going to do? Go quickly!"

Liu pushed her violently and almost pushed her to the ground.

Li suddenly turned around, his eyes full of anger, and he was about to explode. Then Ji Yuan's cold eyebrows flashed out of his mind, and the anger went out again.

"Mom, don't leave..."

Ji Yun cried and wanted to chase her, but Liu grabbed her arm and said hatefully: "Damn girl, I want to be lazy, I don't even have any doors. Wash it for me, wash it clean and dry it, otherwise I won't even think about eating at noon or evening."

Ji Yun had never seen such a fierce grandma before, and she cried loudly.

Zhou was cleaning the house. When he heard the crying, he couldn't help but look up.

"Mom, don't follow me to me."

Ji Rong was playing with her younger brother. When she saw her face, she hurriedly said, "When she pushed her sister down the river yesterday, she was not at all merciful. In the middle of winter, if it sinks so much, it's just..."

Thinking of this, her eyes turned red, and she felt no sympathy for Ji Yun.

Zhou's compassion for Ji Yun immediately dissipated.

Yesterday, when my daughter was rescued, she was already unconscious, and her face was soaked all over and her face turned purple. All of this was because of Ji Yun.

She looked away and turned into the room.

Ji Yun was still crying. On the cold day, tears were dried up by the wind and pressed against his face. His whole face was so cold that it hurt. After washing his clothes, his hands were soaked in cold water that they were soaked red and swollen.

She has never suffered such hardship in her life.

Li was not much better. When feeding chickens, all the chickens were thrust into the snatching food. The dust of chickens pounced on her, and she was so angry that her heart and lungs were aching. That was not all, she still had to chop firewood, and the axe was heavy, so she couldn't handle it. When she took it for the first time, she fell off her hands and almost cut her feet.

Five-year-old Ji Song ran over and pestered her to ask for candy. The frustrated and sad Li Shihuo pushed him away, "What to eat? There is nothing to eat, and the good things have been distributed by others. Don't even think about eating candy in the future."

How could Ji Song, who was spoiled, get angry? He immediately sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Liu rushed over and slapped Li in the face.
