Chapter 24 Mingjie and her are passers-by

After tossing around in the fields for a while and having lunch, Tangchi took some mushrooms, closed the gate, and headed to the east of the village.

"Hey, Tangchi, are you out selling mushrooms?" Aunt Li stood with a woman in her forties and said with a smile.

Tangchi glanced at them, threw out two words "not for sale", and then walked past them.

How can such a person buy her mushrooms? Even if I give them, I won’t sell them to them!

No longer asking for help from the people in the village, Tangchi walked with her back straighter. Faced with the ridicule, she just looked at him coldly and then left.

Finally, she finally arrived at Widow Zhang's home.

"Sister Zhang is at home?" Seeing that the door was open, Tang Chi walked in.

"Tangchi! Go and sit in the house first. I'll come back after feeding the chickens."

Tangchi glanced at Widow Zhang who was busy in the chicken coop, walked to the door of the house and stood in a daze.

Widow Zhang is the only chicken raiser in the village. Although she looks awesome, it is really not easy for a woman to raise so many chickens alone.

"Why are you standing here when I ask you to come in!" After feeding the chickens, Widow Zhang went to the well to get some water and wash her hands.

Tangchi smiled sheepishly and said, "It's quite interesting for me to watch Sister Zhang feeding the chickens like this."

"Interesting?" After hearing this, Widow Zhang laughed loudly, and without saying anything, she led Tangchi into the house.

"Sister Zhang, these mushrooms are for you to eat."

Widow Zhang looked at the soup pool and said with a smile: "Hey, you won't come to my place to sell mushrooms now?"

Tangchi laughed sheepishly and said: "I know you can't eat many mushrooms alone, and mushrooms are dispensable. You are more or less helping me."

When Widow Zhang heard this, she said angrily: "I'm just a widow, I can't be as nice as you said! I just want to eat mushrooms! Come, drink some water... I bought a cup specially!"

Tangchi took the cup and held it in his hand, saying: "Someone wants to buy my mushrooms for three months. I don't have to worry about starvation for the time being."

"Okay, Tangchi, you have a lot to do at such a young age!"

"Thanks to Sister Zhang for reminding me. But this is only temporary. We have to think about it in three months."

"There will always be a way! How can a living person with arms and legs starve to death?" Widow Zhang smiled, and then she said silently, "But... if you want to do business, Tangchi, you have to think about it.

It's okay for a widow like me to come out and show off, but you..."

"If I don't come out, I will starve to death even if I have arms and legs." Tangchi smiled bitterly. She didn't know the importance of honorable festivals in ancient times, but she had to eat first and then take care of honorable festivals. Moreover, as early as her stepmother's

After being framed, Mingjie and she became strangers.

"You can do it if you think about it." Widow Zhang didn't say anything more.

Everyone has their own last resort.

Tangchi chatted with Widow Zhang for a few more words.

She found that Widow Zhang spoke very politely, which was different from ordinary village girls, and she could skillfully avoid some questions that she shouldn't ask and things that Tangchi didn't want to answer.

Before I knew it, most of the afternoon had passed.

"It's time for me to go." After saying this, Tangchi stood up.

"Why are you leaving? Stay and eat!" Widow Zhang said, grabbing Tangchi.

Tangchi was in a bit of a dilemma.

"What, you are so small that you are afraid of me being poor?" Widow Zhang pretended to be angry and turned her head away from looking at her.
