Chapter 37 Layout, pull in Mrs. Wang

"Guizhi, what's wrong with you?" Bai Ruozhu took Fang Guizhi's hand and asked.

Fang Guizhi's eyes were red and her nose was red, like a pitiful little rabbit. She sniffed and said, "I didn't say we were going to town to sell preserved apricots. My mother thought I was just going out for fun." , they refused to let me go and asked me to stay at home and work."

"Then why do I still beat you?" Bai Ruozhu was a little angry. How could such a big girl still hit you casually? And it’s still a slap in the face. How can there be such a cruel girl?

"I talked back to my mother. I said I made an appointment with you, and I couldn't break my promise. My mother thought I was disobedient, so..." Fang Guizhi didn't want to say the next words. She sniffed again, her voice choked up. He said: "Ruozhu, I'm sorry, I can't go with you. You should be careful when you go to town and don't get tired."

Bai Ruozhu also knew that no matter how angry she was, she couldn't care about the Fang family's family affairs. She had no choice but to pat Fang Guizhi's hand and comfort her: "Don't worry, I've been there a few times and you're all familiar with it. Wait until I sell it." The money will be distributed to you when I come back."

Fang Guizhi felt that she had not contributed and was a little embarrassed, but thinking that Bai Ruozhu would not allow her to refuse, she blushed and nodded, then said goodbye to Bai Ruozhu and hurriedly ran home.

In fact, Bai Ruozhu had some plans today, so she tried her best to persuade her family the night before not to let her eldest brother accompany her to the town. Originally, Lin Ping'er disagreed, but Bai Ruozhu said that she was already familiar with it. There is nothing tiring about driving, and besides, I have Fang Guizhi as my companion, so everything will be fine.

Lin Ping'er was still hesitant at first, but recently she was discussing with Wang Su how to arrange the marriage of the two children, and the eldest brother was also helping his father make tables and chairs for the school, so she really couldn't get away.

Although Fang Guizhi is gone, Bai Ruozhu has no intention of changing her plan. She wrapped a large bag of preserved apricots in oil paper, wrapped it in a furoshiki and slung it on her arm, then walked towards the river.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang was washing clothes by the river. She often appeared here at this time.

Mrs. Wang was very arrogant and liked to inquire into other people's private affairs. As soon as she saw Bai Ruozhu, her hazy eyes immediately lit up and she greeted Bai Ruozhu with a smile, "Girl from the Bai family, what are you doing here?"

Bai Ruozhu saluted her politely, "Aunt Wang, it's really hard for you to wash clothes so early."

Mrs. Wang deliberately wiped the sweat on her head that was almost gone, and said with some pride: "I just can't sit still, what are you doing with the baggage?"

"I made some snacks myself and plan to go to town to sell some money." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

Mrs. Wang looked surprised, "Are you so diligent despite your weight? Your parents asked you to do this, right?" She asked and her eyes started to roll, obviously trying to trick Bai Ruozhu.

"My parents don't allow me to do this, they are afraid that I will be tired, so you see, I secretly go to the town to sell by myself." Bai Ruozhu deliberately showed a worried look, "It's just that I don't understand anything, and I don't know anything. Will you be deceived?"

Mrs. Wang's little eyes brightened even more, "I happen to have nothing to do. How about I go with you? To keep you in check?"

"Why are you so embarrassed? It will delay you a lot." Bai Ruozhu looked a little moved, but immediately shook his head in opposition.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wang became even more excited, "It doesn't matter, you go slowly to the entrance of the village first. I'll go home and put away my clothes and I'll be there soon. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Anyway, I want to go to town these days." .”

She was probably afraid that Bai Ruozhu would run away, so after saying that, she picked up the wooden basin and ran home quickly. Bai Ruozhu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and then walked slowly towards the entrance of the village.

Before she reached the village entrance, she heard Mrs. Wang's voice coming from behind. She looked back and saw Mrs. Wang running over panting, with beads of sweat on her forehead, showing how fast she was running.

Bai Ruozhu finally suppressed her laughter and said to Mrs. Wang, "Mother Wang came so quickly. I'm going to trouble you today."

"No trouble, no trouble, just don't forget me when you get the benefit." Mrs. Wang said with a greedy look.

Bai Ruozhu sneered in her heart, knowing that Mrs. Wang was a person who loved to take advantage.

"I will never forget you, auntie." Bai Ruozhu said respectfully.

When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a donkey cart that had just left. On the cart were several people going to the town, one of whom was Liu San's wife.

Bai Ruozhu combined the last encounter with Liu San's wife and the memory of her predecessor and found that Liu San's going to town had a regular schedule, so she calculated that Liu San's daughter-in-law should be going to town today. Unexpectedly, She really got it right.

"Hey, was Liu San's wife in the car just now?" Bai Ruozhu asked Mrs. Wang deliberately.

"Yes, she has relatives in town, and she goes to town every few days to talk to her aunt. Her aunt's family is rich, so they always give her some good things." Mrs. Wang said with bright eyes, Showing an envious expression.

Bai Ruozhu looked troubled, "Why don't I go today? The injury I was beaten by Liu San's wife last time has not completely healed yet." She said, lifting her forehead hair and pointing to the injured area on her head.

Mrs. Wang looked over and saw that the scab on Bai Ruozhu's head had fallen off, but the scar was still there. She didn't know if it would fall off in the future, and she couldn't help but frown.

The incident of Bai Ruozhu being injured by Liu San's wife was quite a big deal at the time. Later, the Liu family had to pay half of the money to the Bai family. However, Bai Ruozhu's father donated the money to the village school, which later caused a lot of trouble in the village. People donated money to the school, so almost everyone in the village knew about this incident.

"It doesn't matter, we may not be able to run into her. Besides, isn't there my old lady to protect you?" In order to show her role, Mrs. Wang tried her best to puff up her chest and pat her breasts until they were straight. Hibiki, as if this proves how strong she is.

"That's what Aunt Wang said. Then I will follow you today." Bai Ruozhu said.

Soon they found an ox cart, got on the ox cart and wandered towards the town.

The ox-cart was no better than the donkey-cart, and Bai Ruozhu and his wife were easily left behind by Liu San's wife. But she was not in a hurry. She leaned lazily on the sack on the bullock cart, being basked in the sun that had risen early, and felt so comfortable that she felt like sleeping.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang next to her kept chattering, otherwise she would have fallen asleep. The moment the bullock cart entered the town, there was a sound of horse hooves coming, and Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but look over.

Most of the people in the town were farmers, and almost no one rode horses. That's why Du Zhongshu's carriage attracted so much attention from the villagers in Houshan Village.

Bai Ruozhu had seen carriages since she traveled through time, but she had never seen anyone riding a tall horse, so she couldn't help but look over curiously, but she was dumbfounded by this look.

She was not a very eloquent person, nor was she someone with a very poor vocabulary, but she could not find a suitable sentence to describe this person's appearance.
