Chapter 23 Don't Ask, If You Ask, You Have No Money

"Is it really only three Wen?" Su Nian asked again to confirm.

"Yeah." The butcher replied, and asked curiously, "I just saw that your business is so good, why don't you want to buy some meat?"

Su Nian knew that he was just curious, so she wasn't annoyed, and replied, "Yes, there are a lot of places to spend money at home."

The butcher looked her up and down again, seeing how well she was dressed, she knew that she was not doing well. The children of the poor had long been in charge of the family. "If you want to give three coins for these bones, take them all away."

"Okay." Su Nian quickly took out three Wen coins, for fear that the other party would go back on his word.

And her actions also made the butcher more sure of his thoughts.

I have to say that this is a beautiful misunderstanding.

Su Nian went to the wine shop and bought wine for [-] Wen, and half a catty of brown rice for [-] Wen.

To be honest, the money was really not spent, and half of it was spent before it was hot.

Su Nian didn't have much interest in wandering around the town, and left after shopping.

Don't ask why you don't buy medicine, it means you don't have money. The [-] Wen she paid for selling fermented bean curd may not be enough for a pair of medicine, and she still needs to use the money for capital.

This is not modern times, and she is no longer a soldier, she does not have such a noble thought of self-sacrifice, she can't even afford food, how can she have money to buy medicine, if she spends this money on medicine, then she really It's going to fend for itself.

At the gate of the town, I saw Su Youquan hiding under a nearby tree. He drove an ox cart in the village to pull passengers to the town, and each person paid a penny.

"Su Nian." Su Youquan waved and shouted at Su Nian.

Su Nian walked up to him and responded obediently, "There is Uncle Quan."

"Why are you free to go to town today?" Su Youquan laughed.

"I'm here for a stroll." Su Nian didn't intend to tell Su Youquan what she was here for.

"Then you will take the bullock cart back together later, and I won't charge you." Su Youquan smiled until the creases on his face squeezed together.

"No, thank you Uncle Quan, I'll just walk back." Su Nian's eyes were firm.

She didn't want to take advantage of this, and she could imagine that if she went back in a bullock cart, she would definitely be asked questions. In order to save these troubles, she should rely on her legs!
"Uncle Quan, I'll go back first." Su Nian said, and then left.

Su Youquan looked at Su Nian's back and murmured, "This girl is really different."

It was already noon when Su Nian came home, put down his things and drank a couple of sips of water before entering the house. Seeing that Xiao Jinnian was lying safely on the bed with no fever, he was relieved.

Taking the remaining 34 Wen, and the remaining 36 Wen, a total of [-] Wen, Su Nian took it to the door and walked towards Aunt Cheng's house.

"Aunt Cheng, are you home?" Su Nian called out from the door.

"Zhi—" the door was opened from the inside, "Su Nian, why are you here?"

"Aunt Cheng, I'm here to buy you some tofu." Su Nian said with a smile.

"Didn't you just buy seven catties a while ago? Why do you want to buy it again?" Aunt Cheng asked suspiciously, "Let's talk first." Then she turned sideways.

Su Nian nodded, and then walked into the yard, "The ones I bought a few days ago are all used up." After a pause, "I want to buy ten catties of tofu today."

"Use it up?" Aunt Cheng was surprised, and raised her voice again, "You want to buy ten catties today?" Aunt Cheng couldn't believe it, who eats tofu like that.

"Well, do you still have tofu here?" Su Nian said lightly.

"Nian girl, don't waste these tofu, otherwise how could you eat it so fast." Aunt Cheng asked anxiously.
