Today was not the day for the market. The market in the east was far less lively than the market day. Even so, what Wen Xiu wanted to buy was not in the east. Both of them cut a jin of meat each before rushing towards the north.

Song Xiaoyue was told by her mother-in-law to buy a catty of fat to feed to everyone. On the other hand, Wenxiu chose to buy lean meat. It was not because it was cheaper by four cents per catty, but because she felt that the fat was too greasy and she did not like to eat it. The children are still young, so they eat lean meat to replenish the protein they need.

The streets to the north were like those in the eastern market, so it was later when the market was closed. Facade all the time business, whether the market or not, the boss will welcome guests. When Wenxiu and Song Xiaoyue walked into a grocery store called "Everything", the boss had just taken off his door and was yawning as he wiped his stuff.

The area of the grocery store was quite large. There were a variety of things displayed inside the shop, and everything that one could see complemented the sign, "Everything". Wen Xiu simply swept her eyes over the items in the shop. She secretly made up her mind. The things she wanted to buy should all be available here.

"What do you two sister-in-law want to buy?"

When the boss saw the customer enter, he put down the cloth in his hand and rubbed his sleepy eyes. Then, he walked towards the two of them. With that, he yawned.

Hearing this, Wenxiu's mouth was like a mouthful of beans as he read out everything he needed, "Tippers, buckets, knapsacks, crocks, pots, bowls, chopsticks, pots …"

The owner was a young man in his twenties and seemed to be unfamiliar with the things inside the shop. After hearing what Wenxiu asked for, he was stunned for a moment and told her to search the shop by herself before turning around to give him a discount.

The boss who was familiar with his own shop would never do such a thing!

Song Xiaoyue wanted to complain about the young boss, but Wen Xiu shook her head at her. It would be easier for him to take action himself. Since they weren't in a hurry, why wouldn't they be happy?

When the young owner saw that the two of them had gone off to search for something, he yawned again and picked up a cleaning rag. He lazily wiped the cloth next to the cabinet. However, he was not focused. He didn't look like he hadn't slept well last night, but rather like he hadn't slept at all.

"Aiyo, you wastrel …" An aged voice sounded, the words that had yet to finish were accompanied by helplessness and sighs. An old man with a frown on his face walked out from behind the curtain, walking straight towards Wen Xiu, his mouth full of apologetic words, "Sorry, sorry, this old one's grandson is not sensible, please do not take offense. This old one will take what you need for all of this … "

Wenxiu was stunned for a moment, but then realized that this old man with gray hair was the owner of the grocery store. As for that young man …

After being scolded, the young man instantly became impatient. "Pa", he threw away the cloth in his hand and angrily ran towards the backyard.

The old man shook his head helplessly as if he was accustomed to seeing such things, and went to get something for Wen Xiu. When they were about to settle the bill, Song Xiaoyue started talking about the discount promised by the young people. Only then did the old man start talking about his unfilial grandson.

After Wenxiu heard the old man's story, she also felt a bit of pity for him. She wasn't someone to be trifled with. Before buying something, she didn't even think about picking a penny or two. She let the old man count the sum directly. She didn't expect that all these random things combined would have cost her almost one tael of silver.

He didn't know if he was going to buy anything or not. Even though it was just some random small things, most of them were worthless. That was still a huge sum of money.

It was fortunate that she had obtained the 5 taels of silver. Otherwise, she would have no choice but to take a look at all of the items here today. No, to be more accurate, she wouldn't even look at it.

As soon as the old man opened the door, he received Wen Xiu, this great customer. He was overjoyed. He did not care about the things that his unfilial grandson committed and was in a very good mood. Therefore, he asked Wenxiu if she wanted the broken earthenware vat to be given to her as an accessory.

How could he not want the things that he picked up for free? Yes! Why not?

Wenxiu had bought a lot of things, but she and Song Xiaoyue wouldn't be able to move them away. What should they do? When Song Xiaoyue was in a difficult situation, she waved her hand and decided to buy some rice and flour from the granary next door. Then, she went back to hire an oxcart. They would ride the oxcart back to their village.

The grocery store was located next to the grocery store. It could be considered a large grocery store on the whole street, but there were all kinds of food in the store. There were even some that were refined and some that were coarse.

When Wenxiu entered the store, the owner was at the counter dialing an abacus. He glanced at Wenxiu before giving a look to the assistant beside him. Then, his eyes fell onto the account book. Since she was wearing it, at most she would buy some coarse food. He couldn't be bothered to care about her at all.

"Yes," the waiter hurriedly walked out, but when he saw Wen Xiu walking over to the rice, he hastily greeted her with an impatient look, "Sister-in-law, you can't afford the rice over there. The rice you want to buy is over here. There are two types of rice. Which do you want? "

If it were his previous life, Wen Xiu would have already beat up these two despicable fools. However, as the saying goes, people had no choice but to lower their heads under the eaves. She was wearing poor clothes and didn't have any money right now. She could only tolerate it. But more importantly, she didn't need to get angry at others. There was always a way to return the favor, wasn't there?

Wen Xiu ignored the shop assistant's words and straightened her back. She continued walking toward the fine rice. Looking at the price, which was "one catty for one catty", she smiled and said, "I want fifty catties of fine rice, fifty catties of coarse rice, and twenty catties of flour."

The assistant was stunned. "Are you sure?"

"En!"

As Wen Xiu said this, she took out a silver lump and waved it in front of the shop assistant. "You need to take a bite to test if it's real or fake."

The shop assistant was ridiculed by Wen Xiu, and his face instantly turned red. He wanted to curse with his red eyes, but when he turned his head, he received the boss's gaze. He had no choice but to suppress his anger and slowly call Wen Soo by her title.

When Wen Xiu saw this, she felt relieved.

The shop assistant unwillingly weighed the grains, and finally had to count the copper coins to find some change for Wen Xiu. He was extremely angry this early in the morning.

At the counter, the boss had witnessed the whole thing. When he passed the change to Wen Xiu, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't remember the lowly one. You must come again in the future when you want to buy rice! "

If not for his indulgence, how could the shop assistant have acted so arrogantly? Now, however, he simply pushed the blame onto the shop assistant and took off all his clothes.

"I'll buy rice in the future!" Wen Xiu had a shallow smile on her face. She took the change and pointed to the bag on the ground. "Now, I still need you to help me move my bag to the grocery store next door."

Upon hearing this, the boss quickly answered and then called for the shop assistant to move the bags. Then, accompanied by a smile, he watched as Wen Xiu walked out of the door with her back straight.
