Group pet small peasant girls: Escape the famine with the space of merit

Chapter 17 Businessman

Fatty Ma fell on his back in anger.

Did he swallow because he was greedy for their rice balls?
What can I do?

The three little ancestors all wanted to eat the food of this girl's family, so knowing that he was cheated, he could only suffer from this boring loss.

Besides, this little girl has put his money in her pocket, can he get it back?
Fatty Ma returned to his family with a dark face and took three rice balls, and the three children rushed to him immediately.

"Wait a minute!" Old Madam Ma said to her son with a sullen face, "Bring it here, Madam, let me see if this rice ball is made of gold?"

She just heard that three rice balls cost half a tael!
Fatty Ma is a filial person, and obediently brought the rice ball to his mother first.

As soon as Fatty Ma put the oiled paper bag in front of old woman Ma, old woman Ma smelled a strong fragrance.

The scent was so enticing that the old woman Ma swallowed, and couldn't help reaching into the oiled paper bag, broke some rice balls, put it in her mouth and tasted it.

As soon as she took it in, the old woman Ma's eyes widened, and then she reached into the oiled paper bag and broke a piece into her mouth.

A rice ball is the size of an egg, and the old woman Ma broke it several times, and the rice ball was gone.

"Delicious!" Madam Ma simply picked up the second rice ball and finished it in two bites.

"Mother..." When Fatty Ma realized it, his mother had already held the third rice ball, and just as he was about to stop it, the last rice ball had already entered his mother's mouth.

The three boys were dumbfounded, and it took a while to recover.

"Wow~~"

Even the big and small children cried together: "My rice ball..."

How could three such small rice balls be enough for the old lady Ma? It was the first time she had eaten such delicious food at her age, and she didn't care about the previous unpleasantness, so she said to her son: "Go buy it again, buy more. You should try it too, it's really delicious."

Three rice balls are half taels of silver, do you want to buy more?
Fatty Ma twitched in distress.

But after the old lady spoke, Fatty Ma didn't dare to disobey, and came to Nuannuan again to explain his intention.

"Master Ma, I'm really sorry, the rice balls are gone, but there are still two packs of pastries left, do you want to?"

This time, the Su family didn't stop Nuan Nuan from selling it.

"How much...how much?" Fatty Ma knew it was a pit, but he had no choice but to jump down.

Before Nuan Nuan opened her mouth, Su Shi replied for her: "Because you are a regular customer, I will charge you one or two taels of silver for each package."

Fatty Ma blushed with anger: "You might as well go grab it!"

"Master Ma, I don't like to hear your words!" Su's face also darkened: "The cakes in the 'Yipin Cake' in the Imperial City are not as good as ours, and the price is several times more expensive. I sold it to you at a low price for the sake of fellow villagers, don’t be ignorant! If you don’t want to buy it, forget it!”

After speaking, Su put the two packs of pastries back into the basket, and ignored Fatty Ma.

Wen Nuan didn't expect Su's to be so good at doing business, she smiled slightly, but didn't speak.

Fatty Ma wanted to turn around and leave, but his boys kept paying attention to this side, and when they realized that their father was going to give up buying pastries, they immediately burst into tears, so loud that the birds resting on the tree were scared away.

Fatty Ma was so angry that he was sweating all over his body. In the end, he took out two taels of silver like cutting meat, and threw it to Su Shi angrily, in exchange for two packs of pastries.

Su smiled and yelled to Fatty Ma's back: "It's delicious~~"

Fatty Ma was so angry that his feet slipped, but he managed to avoid falling.

Wen Nuan laughed: "Sister-in-law Su, you really look like a businessman."

"What does it look like?" Su's face, which was still full of excitement the last second, instantly dimmed: "My family used to be a big business, but it was only a few years ago that it fell down and had to sell the shop."

Regarding the privacy of Su's family, Nuan Nuan didn't ask further, but half-truthfully said: "Sister-in-law Su, I will open a shop in the future, please come and be my shopkeeper!"

"Okay!"

Su thought Nuannuan was joking, after all, she had never heard of a female shopkeeper.

When Nuan Nuan and his group set off, the three boys at Ma's house were still arguing, because the old lady Ma had finished a pack of pastries by herself, and the three boys shared a pack together.

As for Fatty Ma's wife and two daughters, they didn't share any crumbs of cakes, but they looked like they were used to it.

Erlang endured it until he was on the road before coming to his sister's side, and asked in a low voice, "Nuan Nuan, did you really spend so much money on the cakes and rice balls you bought?"

Wen Nuan made up a white lie to his honest brother: "I spent a few hundred cash when I bought it, and I intentionally taught that fat man a lesson."

Erlang nodded: "It's time to teach him a lesson, and he should teach him a few more times!"

Seeing his sister in a daze, Erlang quickly explained: "That fat man doesn't treat his wife as a human being. His wife and his daughter won't be able to enjoy his blessings anyway. What's the use of asking for so much money?"

Wen Nuan smiled: "Second brother is very reasonable! I hope to have the opportunity to meet them again!"

That Fatty Ma is a mother's boy, and he is patriarchal, so she doesn't have any psychological pressure to slaughter.

Erlang was also happy to see his younger sister agreeing with his words.

"It's already August and it's still so hot. If it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid Lianzhou will start to run out of water." Su said worriedly while walking.

Erlang looked into the distance and sighed: "The weather this year is really abnormal."

He learned from the owner that it hadn't rained in Qushui City for almost three months, which had never happened in Qushui City.

In the evening, a group of people spent the night at the foot of a mountain.

After walking for more than a month, everyone has become accustomed to eating and sleeping in the open, and fell asleep after eating dinner and sitting for a while.

It's still the old rules, Erlang stays in the first half of the night, and Bai Muyang stays in the second half of the night.

At night, when everyone was sleeping deeply, there was a sudden sound of beating and killing from the mountain behind.

Everyone woke up in fright, and looked up the mountain, only to see fire on the mountain.

Erlang was startled: "What's going on?"

When they came in the evening, the mountain was still silent.

Nuannuan didn't care what happened on the mountain, she was only worried about whether they would get involved in any trouble: "Clean up, let's get out of here quickly."

"It's too late." Bai Muyang brought Wulang and Qi'er to his side, and looked at the col in front with heavy eyes.

Not long after, a horse team of at least three or forty people rushed towards them holding torches and surrounded them.

"Is this a horse thief again?" Su frowned and looked at these people.

Perhaps it was because the former Boss Shi felt that the lethality was too low, Su's initial fear of the word "horse thief" was gone.

The group of people sat on horseback and looked at them carefully.

"There are also children and women, they don't look like spies." One of them said strangely.

Su couldn't figure out whether these people were horse thieves or who, but she knew that once she was accused of "spies", she would only die, so she hurriedly said: "We are refugees fleeing famine, not spies!"
