Chapter 34 Temptation

   The next morning, after a simple meal, the two went to the patriarch's house to borrow an ox cart and went straight to the town.

   When we were halfway through, I met Huang's mother and daughter who were going to the town to send embroidery work.

   The two of them originally wanted to ignore the past.

   But when Huang found them, he greeted them warmly: "Cheng Rui, are you two going to buy something in the town?"

   Gu Chengrui had to reply: "Yes, Aunt Huang is this...?"

   "You all know what's going on at home. Why don't you go to the town to pick up some embroidery work to subsidize the family." Huang replied with a look of grievance.

   Seeing this, Gu Chengrui did not follow her will to slap her injustice, but said, "Alright, since we are on the way, let's come up and walk together."

   After that, the ox cart slowly stopped.

   "Then we're welcome." Huang Shi immediately responded and pulled her daughter Gu Ziqiong onto the ox cart.

After    settled down, Huang looked at Zhou Ying and said, "Yingying, I heard that your husband and wife made a lot of money from digging medicinal materials before, is it true?"

   "Who are you listening to? If we really did, wouldn't we just buy a house in the town." Zhou Ying asked in surprise.

   "I heard that you spent a lot of money on building houses?" Gu Ziqiong said.

   "It's alright, thanks to the help of the patriarch and the village chief. Otherwise, if we finish repairing the house, we'll probably run out of rice." Zhou Ying shook her head sadly.

   Gu Ziqiong wanted to ask more, but Huang interrupted her by tugging at her sleeve.

  Because she knew she couldn't ask anything, she changed the subject and asked, "What are you going to buy in the town, do you need our help?"

   "It's getting colder and colder today, so I thought about buying a bed and quilt, and two coats of cotton-padded clothes for the winter. The rest can only be purchased slowly."

   "That's right, it's getting frost every morning now, and it's really impossible without a padded jacket." After Huang finished speaking, she glanced at the jacket on her body, and then she remembered that there was nothing at home for them to prepare for winter.

   Therefore, I didn't feel embarrassed to try again, but chatted about the daily life.

   However, Zhou Ying just hummed and responded without replying or commenting.

   But to the women of the two rooms, the battle of wits and courage because of the housework, it is interesting to hear.

   When he got to the town, Mrs Huang got off the car and said, "I'll sell cotton and fabrics in the embroidery workshop where I use the embroidery work. Would you like to come and have a look together."

   "No, Aunt Huang, we have to look at the big things like water tanks first, and we'll talk about the rest when we come back." Gu Chengrui said.

   "That's fine, then we'll go over first." After Huang Shi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

   After the separation, the young couple really went to buy one big, two small, three large tanks first, then bought ten catties of millet and fifty catties of black noodles.

   When passing by the vegetable market, Zhou Ying went inside to see what vegetables were in season.

   I didn't expect that in addition to radishes and cabbage, it was winter melon, and winter melon was quite expensive, costing two cents a pound. It seems that the gift from the patriarch's family was really not light.

  The most popular ones are eggs and all kinds of dried vegetables, and there is another place that sells pickles.

   Zhou Ying saw that the business was booming, and went forward to buy a pound of soy cucumber for ten cents, and then joined Gu Chengrui.

  The last two people went to Buzhuang, but they didn't expect to see Huang's mother and daughter waiting inside.

   Seeing them coming over, Zhou Ying had no choice but to step forward and say, "Aunt Huang, Ziqiong, you haven't handed in yet?"

   "No, this is not the shopkeeper who is receiving two major customers, so we can only wait for them to finish their work before handing in." Huang Shi Nuzui pointed not far away.
