C16 (2/2)

The shopkeeper said, ”Little girl, you don't know about this. We do have some rags here, but every time you customers come here to buy something, you ask me to send some rags. So we don't have any rags here.”

If she thought about it, it made sense. In this town, people only took in soles and such, not only were they using rags, even the pillows that she slept on were made out of rags. So, in this Cloth shop, where would there be so many rags that she did not want?

”Hey, how far is our home from the county?” Fang Ru Xiu suddenly asked the two people beside her.

”About twenty miles.” Fang Yizheng replied.

After Fang Ruzhu heard this, she nodded and said to the shopkeeper, ”Then let's pull down the three feet of white cloth.”

However, she did not intend to sell them in this town, so she decided to go to the county when the time came, and then check if there were any rags for sale. At the moment, however, she could buy some of them, or else her family would not let her go to the county, and she could only wait until someone from the village came along with them.

”Yes, girl.” As the shopkeeper spoke, he took a ruler to measure the cloth. Fang Ruzhu grit her teeth and bought all sorts of silk.

At the time of settling the bill, it was a total of five hundred gold coins. However, the shopkeeper had taken the initiative to erase all the bills and only accepted five hundred gold coins from her.

”Little sister, you really want to buy it?” Fang Yizheng said.

”Yeah.” Fang Ruxiu nodded.

”Do you have money?” Fang Yizheng said. At this time, the shopkeeper was still smiling at Fang Ru Xiu, but her heart was still lifted, and she was truly worried that Fang Ru Xiu did not have any money, as five hundred gold coins was not a small sum. Seeing how the little girl dressed up like a country bumpkin,

”Money?” As Fang Ruxiu spoke, she opened her palm and said, ”Isn't that money?”

Fang Yizheng saw that he only had five copper coins in his hand, and his heart tensed up, afraid that the shopkeeper would get angry.

However, the shopkeeper saw a piece of crushed silver that she was holding in her copper coin. Fang Ruxiu passed the broken silver to her, and then she found a tael of broken silver and five hundred copper coins.

Shattered silver was still kept close to her body, but out came five hundred copper coins and cloth and threads. Fang Yizheng helped her carry them, then walked out of the shop.

Fang Yizheng's eyes widened: ”This, where did this money come from?”

”I earned it directly from him.” Fang Ruzhu said, ”Don't ask, you know me very well. I don't eat free food. My money is clean money.”

Fang Yizheng saw that he wouldn't be able to get an answer from Fang Ruxiu, so he looked to Fang Yizhi, who nodded to him: ”Sister is right.”

”Then the two of you have so much money, and you still want to steal my five cents private property. Hurry up and return my private money to me.” Fang Yizheng said as he looked at Fang Ru Xiu.

”Nope.” Then, she followed Fang Yizhi all the way to his private school. Currently, the private school still had not opened, and the door was tightly shut, so Fang Ruzhu looked at the slightly lost Fang Yizhi, patted his shoulder, and said: ”Don't worry, little brother, in the future, you will have a lot of time to come to this academy, if not, you can keep the money yourself.”

As Fang Ru Xiu said that, she took out a silver tael and passed it to Fang Yizhi. However, Fang Yizhi did not accept it, he knew that even if he took it, it would be hard to explain later.

”Elder sister, it's better if you keep it. I believe in my elder sister.” Fang Yizhi said.

Then, she patted Fang Yizhi's head and said, ”Then let's go buy rice and meat buns.”

”Mm. Alright.” When he heard that there was food, Fang Yizhi was still a child after all. When he heard that someone was going to buy meat buns, the disappointed look on his face immediately disappeared. He jumped up and walked to the front to guide the two of them.
