Chapter 18 Aunt Tian

When the carriage came to the entrance of the town, Lin Yue took a look. There happened to be a bamboo forest at the entrance of the town. She asked the servant to drive the carriage directly, and it happened that the edge of the bamboo forest was enough for the carriage to enter.

Pedestrians who had lived there gave them a strange look.

The boy also wondered why he didn't unload the goods outside. The shopkeeper ordered him to help Lin Yue unload the goods at the entrance of this town.

The two unloaded together, and quickly finished unloading the rice noodles.

"I'm sorry, little brother, this is to invite you to drink tea."

Lin Yue stuffed twenty copper coins into the boy's hand.

The boy thanked him politely, and drove the carriage back to meet his errands.

As soon as the boy left, Lin Yue immediately put everything into the system space, and then returned to the town with a basket on her back.

She went directly to the market, which was located in a clearing on the edge of the town.

Everything was bought and sold in the market, so Lin Yue went directly to the meat stall.

"How much do you buy, little lady?" the butcher asked her as soon as she arrived.

Lin Yue saw that the pork was quite fresh, so she didn't want to buy meat. She planned to buy suet and go back to refine it. Seeing that the butcher was very polite, she decided to buy some.

"Ten catties for pork belly, ten catties for lean meat, and ten catties for suet."

"Okay, wait a minute, little lady." The butcher is so happy that he can't see his teeth, but it's snowing today, so he probably won't be able to sell all the meat.

Don't worry now.

The butcher cuts the meat with a few knives.

"Little lady, look, this pork suet weighs fifteen catties, can you get all of it?"

asked the butcher, holding a cage of pork suet.

"Yes, can those big bones be given to me?" Lin Yue nodded, pointing to the four tube bones on the stall and asked.

"Yes, does the lady have a dog at home?"

Lin Yue...

Big bones can only be eaten by dogs?

Lin Yue gritted her teeth: "No, use it to make soup and eat it!"

The butcher smiled awkwardly, and he just said, people in the countryside can't get enough to eat, so there is no spare food for dogs.

It is said that for a dog that is not fed enough, raising a dog is almost like raising a person.

Lin Yue took the meat, paid the silver, turned around and left, and would never come here to buy meat again.

Lin Yue bought meat, four Chinese cabbages, twenty catties of radishes and dried wild vegetables.

After winter, there are fewer vegetable sellers, and there are not even a single green vegetable.

After buying a whole basket, Lin Yue looked up at the snow that was falling more and more, frowned, turned around and left the market, and received the things in the system space in a deserted alley, only to find a grocery store and buy Ten sets of bowls and chopsticks, vegetable bowls, ironing bowls, spoons... everything that was missing in the kitchen was bought at once.

I also bought a whole set of teapots and teacups.

Bathtubs and footbaths are also bought.

Just not far away, there was another bun shop, and Lin Yue bought twenty meat buns in one go.

Lin Yue thought about what else needs to be bought, so she bought it all at once today. Looking at the snow now, after today, the heavy snow may close the mountain and make it impossible to leave the village.

Food, clothing, and daily necessities were all bought, so Lin Yue went back home.

When approaching the intersection, I saw that there was a crowd of people, and a carriage fell at the intersection.

Lin Yue didn't bother to watch such excitement.

"Ouch, ouch, Madam Ben is hurting to death, how did you drive the car, are you dying?" A loud and familiar voice yelled and cursed.

"Host, it's Mrs. Hu, do you want to go and see the excitement?"

Lin Yue stroked her forehead: "Xiaoxi, you are a cold system, why do you like to watch the excitement so much like a human?"

"Host, what's wrong with the system, the system also has feelings, otherwise how could I bring you here from the last days?"

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Lin Yue felt that what Xiaoxi said made sense.

It happened that there was a no-man's alley here, Lin Yue quickly went over to put the things in the back basket into the system space, and then walked over.

When she walked over, Mrs. Hu had already been lifted up by the servant girl. She should have hurt her left leg when she raised it, but it was not serious.

The carriage was also lifted from the ditch.

It turned out that the wheels had slipped and the carriage had fallen into a ditch.

The maid helped Madam Hu to get into the carriage quickly, and walked away without even saying thank you.

It caused everyone to sigh.

"Who is this, just leaving like this?" A man who helped carry the carriage asked in surprise.

"That's right, this person has no manners at all. She is the wife of a rich family, and she didn't even say thank you. Next time you meet this person, everyone will make a detour."

"She is Zhang Yuanwai's wife. She is notoriously bitter and mean. She slams the door. I want to thank her. You are all well. Let's leave and get out of the way." A peddler who was carrying goods shook his head and said.

"Oh, so it's her, I've heard of it."

"If I knew it was her, I wouldn't have helped."

……

Lin Yue listened, and realized that Mrs. Hu was really disrespectful. She only sighed that the time limit of the bad luck charm was too short.

There was nothing exciting to watch, Lin Yue pouted and left.

When we arrived at the entrance of the town, Uncle Wang's ox cart left early.

"That's all right, let's go back."

"It's not like the host hasn't passed by, let's go."

"Let's go." Lin Yue said and walked away.

"Daughter-in-law Dalang, you haven't gotten into the bullock cart either?" Suddenly a woman's voice came from behind Lin Yue.

"Aunt Tian." Lin Yue turned her head.

The person who came was the widow Tian from the village. Her husband and Chu Tianxing went to the military service together and died together, leaving behind a son and a daughter who were about ten years old.

He is also the only person in the village who can talk to the original owner, and also the only person who does not hate the original owner. After all, the two are considered to have the same fate.

"Do you still have anything for the winter?" Aunt Tian hurried to catch up with Lin Yue, glanced at her empty backpack, and asked with concern.

"Yes, I bought it two days ago, thank you, Aunt Tian, ​​how about you?" Lin Yue smiled at her.

"I still have some at home." Aunt Tian looked at the smile on Lin Yue's face and her clean attire, and felt that Lin Yue was different, and returned to those days when Chu Tianxing was at home.

"That's good."

"Daughter-in-law, why don't you ask someone to repair your house? It's snowing so much, you should be alert at night and don't sleep too deeply."

Lin Yue nodded. Hearing Aunt Tian's concern, she felt warm inexplicably. This was the first person who cared about her.

In my memory, Aunt Tian had reminded the original owner many times before that the original owner lived in broken jars, with one ear going in and one ear coming out, and he never thought about repairing any house at all.

"Ah!" Seeing that she only nodded, Aunt Tian thought it was the same as before, she only listened but didn't do anything, she sighed heavily.

She knew that Lin Yue had no money, and Chu Dalang's pension was only divided into five taels, which was not enough to eat and drink. After repairing the house, how could it be enough to live.

She wanted to help Lin Yue, but it was difficult for her. Apart from a pair of children to support, there was also a pair of parents-in-law above her. Her husband was the only child, and she had to take care of her parents-in-law.

"Daughter-in-law, have you considered finding someone else? Zhang Liehu from our village is good. Auntie thinks you are quite suitable. You have a pair of daughters, and he has a pair of sons. You have been together before, and you will have someone to rely on in the future."
