Little monk, what are you thinking about all day in that little head of yours...
Xiao Xitian said helplessly, patting Jie Kong's head, "From now on, you'll live in our house, and you're a member of our family, so let's all get along well!~"
If you want to form cliques and split up, forget it...
Little Jie Kong snorted and crossed his arms, "Then he has to promise me that he's not allowed to stick by your side anymore!~"
As soon as he saw Xiao Jinheng and Sister Xitian chatting and laughing, little Jie Kong felt very unhappy...
Hearing this, Xiao Jinheng curved his lips, "Why should I agree to such an unreasonable request from you?"
This little monk is simply being unreasonable.
He's staying at someone else's house, yet he speaks so righteously. Who gave him the courage...
When little Jie Kong heard this, he immediately hooked his arm around little Xitian's arm and shook his head, "If you don't agree, then I'll stay by Sister Xitian's side every day, and no one can drive me away, hum!~"
Xiao Jinheng: "..."
So you're a scoundrel after all.
It seems I need to find a way to send this annoying little monk away, just like I sent Jin Xiaolou away before.
Seeing Xiao Jinheng stroking his chin, looking thoughtful, little Jie Kong stamped his foot, "Hey, you surnamed Xiao, are you plotting something bad? I'm telling you, I'm Sister Xitian's person in life and her ghost in death. Don't even think about driving me away!~"
Xiao Jinheng: "..."
Do you have telepathy, kid?
A strong sense of crisis spread rapidly in Xiao Jinheng's heart.
He felt that anything else could wait; the urgent task was to get the little monk out of the Lao Yun family...
Seeing the two of them glaring at each other, little Xitian couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Can you two stop arguing? Second Brother just came back from the county town and bought a lot of twisty pastries. Shall we go try them?"
Although Niu Caixia and Du Tieshan also made twisty pastries, their taste and appearance just couldn't compare to others...
Each to their own specialty. People who sell twisty pastries rely on this to make a living, so they must be more professional.
"Okay, Sister Xitian, let's go eat together!~" Little Jie Kong went to pull little Xitian's hand.
This time, before he could touch little Xitian, Xiao Jinheng stepped forward and blocked Jie Kong, "Xitian can walk by herself, she doesn't need you to pull her..."
"Hey, hey, hey, are you deliberately opposing me?" Little Jie Kong put his hands on his hips and glared.
Xiao Jinheng sneered, narrowed his eyes, "I'm not called hey, hey, hey. I have a name, I'm Xiao Jinheng!~"
After speaking, Xiao Jinheng grabbed little Xitian's hand, "Let's go, let's go eat twisty pastries!"
Little Xitian: "..."
So, how long are you two going to argue?
"Stop!~" Little Jie Kong hurried a few steps and blocked Xiao Jinheng's way, "Are you taking Sister Xitian to the capital?"
Xiao Jinheng chuckled, "No comment..."
"Humph, even if you don't say it, I know. I'm going with you to the capital this time!~" Little Jie Kong's attitude was very firm.
His master had said that a true man should consider the world his home. After meeting little Xitian, he felt that Sister Xitian was his home.
So no matter where he went, he had to follow...
Xiao Jinheng tugged at the corner of his mouth, "I didn't say I was taking you!"
"Can I, can I go with Sister Xitian?~" Little Jie Kong called out tenderly.
Xiao Jinheng's handsome face sank, "Unreasonable."
How can there be such a thick-skinned person in this world...
Little village boy shouldn't have picked him up in the first place.
Little Xitian sighed helplessly and looked up at the sky.
Oh heavens, please take these two troublesome little devils away. I don't want either of them anymore...
In the main hall.
"Mom, I only bought ten pounds of salt. That clerk said the court is investigating salt traffickers lately, so he only sold me ten pounds after I pleaded with him..."
Yun Erman placed the large bags and small bags on his shoulders on the table and wiped the sweat from his brow. "And thirty pounds of white flour, twenty pounds of japonica rice. We still have plenty of cornmeal and buckwheat flour at home, so I didn't buy any!"
Gu Shi stepped forward and took a look, "There are many people in the family lately. Next time you go to the county town, buy more grain. I heard there's a market in the western part of the county, and fine flour is cheaper there. Go and have a look when you have time..."
Speaking of the western part of the county, Yun Erman suddenly smiled, "Mom, I have something to tell you!"
"What is it?" Gu Shi picked up the teapot and poured her son a cup of tea.
Yun Erman looked back and, seeing no one coming in, lowered his voice, "Mom, I met someone in the county town today. His family is from the western part of the county. Guess what he does?"
Gu Shi looked speechless, "Why do you always make me guess? Just say it quickly..."
This child, who did he learn this habit from, making people guess and guess. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Yun Erman chuckled, "Mom, that person is called Fan Laowu, and he... he's a smuggler of illegal salt!"
When Gu Shi heard this, her face instantly turned stern, and she pinched Yun Erman's arm, "Why are you associating with people like that? Do you want to go to prison?"
Yun Erman: "..."
Who in their right mind would want to go to prison? It's just that he saw his elder brother and sister-in-law, the third brother and his wife making a lot of money, and he felt uncomfortable.
Currently, only Erman stayed at home to farm with his father. His elder brother and third brother had their own businesses, and as for the fourth brother, he was even more capable...
So Yun Erman also wanted to take a risk and go out to make a fortune.
Wealth comes from danger. If he stays in this remote corner of the mountains his whole life, what kind of prospects will he have?
"Mom, I've agreed with Fan Laowu. In a few days, I'll go south with him to buy some sea salt and sell it. This trip, after all the trouble, will earn at least this much..."
Yun Siman raised one finger, representing earning one hundred taels of silver.
For people in the countryside, this amount of money was simply an astronomical figure...
Gu Shi frowned, put the teacup on the table with a 'bang', and scolded angrily, "Erman, what are you thinking? We can't even think about illegal things, let alone do them. What if you get caught by the officials, will your mother and father be worried?"
"Besides, Shanshan is pregnant now, why are you running around all over the place? Can't you give your mother some peace of mind?"
Yun Erman: "..."
It seems I can't convince Mom about this.
"Mom, I'll be extra careful, I definitely won't get caught by the officials!~" Yun Erman mumbled.
Gu Shi was furious, "That's still not allowed. You should stay at home and take care of Shanshan, and help your father manage the land when you're free. You're not allowed to go anywhere!"
You ungrateful child, you're rebelling, aren't you? How can you go to heaven...
Yun Erman felt so depressed. He wanted to explain a few more words when suddenly a shout came from outside the door.
